would be good plan. daughter and APP
plause.) As | am relstiug the matter just
as il occurred, shall have to relate the
express words. One of the women was
old, and the other was young. Meow"
said one, :" If you had an old mar and
had young hlly, you wouldn't want to
trade ecen, would ye:" (Great lsugl,ter.)
The other agreed with him, and SO they
compromised by the one who possessed the
old wife giving double-barrelled shotgun
eighteen dollars, however, in ,oonskins, and
things of that sort. Now, this is the con-
ditiou Of the poor whites in that vicinity.
The shareholders rule them. There Is one
thing that they complain bitterly against,
and that is t..is: they are compelled TO pa
troll the country to keep down instructions
Of the negroes. Thongh they never could
get them. or many Of them, to aid in recov-
ering their fugitive slaves they are too
proud to do that, that is left to the blood
hounds to do, and TO the Northern people
who wish TO carry out the Fugitive Slave
law (Loud and long-coniinued applause)-
although tbey cannot make them do this,
they can compel them to patrol the country.
They must go out at night, or at whatever
time they are called upon to g by their
Iordiy masters. Then there is the question
about whether the negroes will fight against
their masters. The negroes are very
kind people, and they are possessed by a
a very great deal of piety-indeed, be-
lieve that the real piety OF the South is
ensconsed in the bosom of the slave popu-
lation of that country-and they would not
wish TO destroy their masters, however they
might abuse them or whip hem. But ev-
cry man in the South is not the master of
every specific negro in the South; that ne
gro would not fight against his master, but
he would fight agaiust every other II aster

slaves, yet one-third of them were whittier
than am; so that slavery is not confined
to color, because you often see red-haired
and bue-eyed slaves. Another question is
