PAINTING a WHITE GIRL TO MAKE
HER A SLAVE.

| One day last week a gentleman Of this city
hailed an up country boat, the Cora Anderson, rs
she was passing Greenville Miss, whithet Ho
had gone on business, to return home. Shortly Hf
ter being under way, our NatcheS friend observed
a pensive-looking little girl, aged about or 10
years, whose Black hair and yellowish brown skin
would indicate that she was mulatttess. Thefs
was something shout her that interested him; and
he inquired of the captain concerning her. He
was informed that she was slave belonging to- a
man on board whom the captain pointed out, who
said he was taking her to New Orleans to sell her,
he having bought her for $l60 in Northwestern
Missouri on the borders. Our NatcheE friend
eyed the little girl and the bBflef man 30 Closely
as to attract the attention Of the latter, with whom
he was soon engaged in conversation concerning
Tie 6hild, intotrogating him in such d manner as
to elicit answers not always agteelng with previous
statements, and evidently alarming him. This
was suspicious The little girl was taken aside
aud examined. She said she was an orphan, and
had been taken from en- asylum in New YORK By
this man. that her hair was light ara her COM
plexion brunette; that this man told her bo was
going south with her, where, his adopted daugh-
ter, she would have good home; that black hair
was preferred in tie South and prettier than hers,
and that he had taken her to barber and had het
hair dyed black lie also told her that if she
would allow him to put some yellow dye on her
skin that her complexion would become much whit
er in few days, and that he had put the stain on.
On hearing these statements, the child was taken
n charge by the captain, and potash, soap and
Eatet being applied, the dyes we're taken of, ana
he light hair and light mplexiOn brought to light.
The pretended master was seized by the excited
passengers, who were about to deal with him sum-
nariy, but it was finally arranged to lock him up
in state-rOOm until the boat should land. In tbs
meantime tbs boat had passed 81. Joseph, and
when few miles below that town rounded to to
take on wood. At this point, how or in what man.
ner it is not known, the border rufian escaped
from the boat leaving his baggage behind. The
girl was taken by the captain of the boat to New
Orleans and placed in one Of the asylums of tha,
city.

A CLEVELAND LADY DRIVEN FROM NEW
ORLEANS.

Miss Lucee Sexton, graduate of the Homoeo-
pathic College in this city and very estimable
lady, we'll known to cur citizens and esteemed By
all who knew her, arrived in Cleveland last Mon
day evening frem New Orleans, having been driv-
en- from the city and STATE. Miss Sexton was, for
a time, connected with Mrs. II. F. M. Brown in
the Agitatot published il shs city but went to
New Orleans several years ago to practice medi.
cine. She had secured lucrative practice and
was pleasantly situated, when she vas waited upon
a few days ago, by Committee, who charged her
with her former connection With the Agitator.--
This she did not deny. They then warned her 10
leave the State in twenty-fosr hours, basing their
action upon an article upon John Brown which had
been published in the AgitatOr, (afcr Miss Sexton
bad left however,) which q New Orleans paper
pronounced "a damhable artole Of some merit"
Mss Sexton appealed to the police for protection,
bot was Informed that they oould offer her no
safety. Being thus situated she could do no less
than comply with the demand, ana arrived here
as above stated, She avows her hostility to slave
~, but says she never intruded her opinions ppou
any one at the South.
So the detestable Juggetnaut Of slavery roila
on. crushing out all life and liberty where ns OK.
istence is legalzed, and lubrioating its Whsslx
with the blood Of hs vietims,- Herald -~-.

A GREAT SPEECH.

Senator johnson Of Tennessee has been making
what Republicans and othtr Uuionists call "a
great speech" The Cincinnati Commercial says,
s "The common sense Of tie people Of The South
has spoken, with the eloquence Of iudisputable
facts and incOntrovertble logic, through the lips
of ANDY JOHNSON"
We have only room to give the following extract,
and which we trust will be universally received as
the eloquence of indsputable facts and iacontro-
vyertable logic.
.-t DIsUNIoN Is ABOLITION,
There are many ideas afoat about this threaten
ed dissolution, and it is time to speak out The
question arises in reference to the protection and
preservation of the institution of slavery, whether
dissolution is remedy will give to it protection.
] avow here; to-day, that if Uere an AJoluionst,
and pqnted 10 accomplish tie Ocerth.oc and a6oli-
tion 9f the institution Of slacery in the Southern
States. the first step that ,oould take poud be 10
break The bonds Of this Union, and diSSolre this
Government. Jeliere tie continuance of slarery
depends upon tie preservation Of this UHiOn and a
compliance wiM all tie guarantees Of tie C0nstitt-
iion. believe an interference with it will break
up the Union; aud believe dissolution of the
Union will in the end, though it may be some
time to come, overthrow the insttuti IN Of slavery
Hence We find so many in the North who desire
the dissolution OF the union of lhese States as
the mos: certain and direct and effectua means
of overthrowing the institution of slavery.

BRAZIL AND NEGRO EQUALITY.

A correspondent, whose letter we published a
few days since, pointed exultingly to the fact that
England and France maintained harmonious rela-
tons with the siavehol6ng Government of Brazil,
as positive proof that those nations would be equal
ly well disposed to Southern Confederacy. We
trust tho contingency may never arise in which
the Question may be practically tested whether
foreign countries would be friendly or uniriendly
to secodng nation carved off from the existing
Republic; but there are strong reasons why Eng
land, with her peculiar anti-slavery notions,
should regard with much greater favor the Brazil
ian Government than any one likely to be formed
in tho southern part of the United States.
OF the total population of Brazil which now
numbers near 8,000,000, not more than one fourth
are whites, and the remainder is composed of a
mixture of mulattoes, mesizoes, and blacks, slave
and free. No distinction Of color aChatever EXISTS in
that country, and in the language of recently
published encyclopedia, its laws "render manu-
mission easy, and once emancipated, the negro
finds erery calling and office as fully open to him as
to the tchites. In the army or naUy, in commerce,
agriculture or manufactures, in social or political
position, color is barrier TO the highest success 1t
results n ths that the danger of insurrecton does
not exist The humblest sla7e looks forward with
hope not only to future freedom, but to wealth and
power" We learn, too, that some Of the most ex-
tensve slaveholders and men of the frst rank in
Brazil are negroes and mulatoes. When Gov.
Wise, of Virginia, was the American minister
there, during Tyler's Administration, he found
colored men Of African descent in the Cabinet,
with whom he had official business to transact.
Indeed with the exceptions that the Emperor and
royal family are of pure white blood, and that
there is considerable white population in the
country, there is little or no practical difference,
so far as the elevation and power of the colored
race is concerned, between Brazil and any pure
negro government.
Great Britain, therefore, and France, might
with perfect prOpriety maintain friendly relations
with Brazil when they would be unwilling to rec
ognize such confederacy as South Carolina pro-
poses to establish, if the small pox does not drive
her seceders panc-stricken to their homes; and if
several other contingencies which are much more
probable DO not occur. Of course, none of the
statesmen Of the South would be willing to initiate
Brazil in the customs and regulations we have re-
ferred to, If the secession project should be sue
cessful.

A TIMELY SOUTHERN CAUTION.

1t has been indignantly denied by some, tha
the slaves at the South are deluded by what they
have heard from the whites into the belief thai
LINcOLN's election is triumph of abolition. The
following will show how we'll grounded is the fear
1t is from the Pamela (Miss.) Star, of Dec l3:
eve wish to suggest the propriety of all slave
owners taking some pains to correct very false
impression now prevailing among the negroes
about the election of Lincoln. 1t is generally
believed by our slaves that they we're to be free if
Lincoln was olectedj or at least, they think some
how or other they to be benefited by bis cleo
tion. We do not recommend it, but suggest for
the consideration Of the better judgment of our
felow-otizons whether it would not be best to
tell them that the election of Lincoln had nothing
in the world to do With them or their freedom,
but has reference to the question of making new
slave States; that nothing has been done to change
their condition, by Mr.. Lincoln or any body else,
and that all the talk they hear about the slavery
question cannot in any way, free them.
1--WE would be glad TO hear an expression Of
opinion on the subject and have made this sugges
sion at the instance of some large slave owners.
'If something of this kind is not done and also
a strong check kept upon them, we must have
trouble with our negroes soon. 1t is impossible
for them to remain passive while we have so much
excitement around them every day."

TAKE NOTICE.

Lincoln has been visited BY fre-eater and his
blue coekade, and at the close of the interview the
President elect assured him:
"YOu will fud that the only difference between
you and me is, that think slavery wrong, and
you think it right; that am opposed to its exten-
sion, while ycu advocate it, and that as to The Sc
euriy Of the institution and the protection Of slare
property IN tie States where it has lawful exis-
tence, you will find it as great under my admins
tration as it ever was under that of Mr. Buchanan.

To all whom it may Concern.

1t has been habit with the PATRIOT, when
new questions arise, affecting the interests of
the people, to give both sides a bearing. We
are never afraid TO trust the intelligence of
our readers. Since the inception of the Coz
troyersy which has produced the present Ma
tional crisis. we have published communica-
tons ref citing all shades ofopinion-Union-
ism, secessionism, disuuionism, have all had
a hearing. The argument has been fairly
presented TO our readers. Not one of the
communications have presented our views.
These are given in our editorial columns;
aud we beg that no one will think we en-
dorse what we publish from others unless we
so state expressly. We are Southern IN every
fibre of our irame-we would not yield a
fragment of our constitutional rights to the
behests of anti-slavery fanaticism; and yet.
whilst We deeply sympathize with the people
of the seeded States, we utterly scorn the
ambitious leaders whose articles have precip-
itated the present condition of things in the
South. But for them the South might have
been unit in coercing settlement. or a
unit in the peaceful establishment of an en-
during government composed of the entire
slave States. They are men whose lead the
PATRIOT can never recogniza.

Dcn't get uneasy over the dispatch about
the Brooklyn and Pensacola affairs. The
mission of the Brooklyn is peaceful. The
preciptatOrs in Florida would like to have
il otherwise. They would like to have a col

ject of the Brooklyn's sailing as follows
We learn this morning that this United
States steam-slO0p-Of-war, which had been
lying off Fort Monroe since her return from
Charleston. went to sea yesterday on another
peaceful mission. She is ordered to inter.
cept government vessels heretofore authoriZ-
ed to go into Pensacola and prevent their do

the attempt which the Floridians might make
to seize and hold them, and secondly. as con-

a settlement which will allay sectional ami
