travelled in moss Of tho Sosthern. States.
and have connexions and scquainteuces in
several of them. and il were to write
book might expose some Of the abomina-
lions Of slavery that wonld not be pleasant
to thy ear. The extent Of the evils of sla-
very and its demoralising effects upon the
white population OF the South cannot be
written even by = Southener. / am oppo-
sed to the whole system of slavery in all its
keiuous forms, and conscientioasly believe
il to be sin against God and crime against
man to chat,elze q human being. and re-
duce Gods image to the level Of brute,
to be bought aud sold in the market as cat
tie or swine. / am also opposed to ANAL
gama,ion aud the whole system Of concu-
binage which are the legitimate fruits of
slavery and prominent evils growing out OF
Il.
1t was also we'll known in the South. ~
well as in the North. BY all who are ac-
quainted with me. that I am opposed to any
interference with slavery or the institutions
Of slave States. save by moral suasion.
am firm believer in the doctrines and pre-
cepts of the Gospel. which teaches us to
do unto others as we would that they should
do unto US. and TO feed the hungry. clcthe
the naked. &c, but does not make any dis
tinc'ion Of color. Now. il the Editor Of the
Nashville Union should be So unfortunate
as to be reduced to slavery, (for color is no
protection in the South. and should he
employ Hannah NJ. Johnson or somebody
else TO put him in a tight box and consigu
him to me, he may be assured that / will
receive him kindly and feed him il he should
be hungry. for it is not in my nature to be
unkind to the least or tho poorest of the hu-
p,,s aIv oil hop
mode of conveyance as more safe. and that
Hannah should pay Express charges, as
suppose she did in the case Of Sambo. for
Ill saw thy false assertion that was quick
to run after the strange women, to pay Ex-
press charges, &c.
Thou hast said that Hannah received OF
Sambo seventy dollars in cash and doubled
cased silver watch for her services, and
thou hast. no doubt. relieved thy mind OF
burden by suggesting that l should make
Sambo a whole again in his purse. But. as
| presume that Hannah n. johnson is .
citizen Of Nashville. or was . delegate to
the Charleston Convention. snd entirely un-
known to me. it does not strike me very
orcibiy that should be accountable for
her misconduct. for il her motives had
been purely benevolent. she would not have
char ged Sambo anything. But there is
on. thing, my dear friend. to which wish
to call thy especial attention. am very
often called upon by Shareholders from tho
South who come to Ohio TO liberate poP-
ton of their slaves. generally their own chill
dren and sometimes their slave mothers. for
assistance and advice in regard to locating
them. &C., all Of which have given cheer
fully without charge; and in addition to
this. there have been quite . number OF
slave children from several difsPent South
ern States placed under my care to be edu-
Gated. generally by their white fathers or
their agents, and in some instances by
judges and attorneys at law-nsen Of honor
and high standing in their own country;
and As am left minus in several cases. and
in one case from Tennessee where the bill
is not paid, does it not strike thy mine very
iorcibly that i. would be just IS fair aud
right for thee to make mo whole in my
own pocket for some Of your citizens. as
for me to make Ssmbo whole in- his purssi
Thy generosity is now put to the test.
