In the close Of this travellers letter, he
says he could multiply instances to almost
any extent, Of brutality toward cOlOred
people in the North, and though his origi-
nal Anti-Slavery principles were never
| eradiCated, he came to the conclusion that
the blacks were happier in the South in
Slavery, than the free blacks in the North.
There you have it. Ah there never was
a serpent yet that was taught to speak in
human language, that first or last the sib-
ilati0n did not come out. Whenever / see

say, "Thou son of thesDeVill, get thee be-
hind me-" Great enthusiasm, the audi
ence rising 70 cheer. Let me say again, |
that the treatment in the North OF the /
blacks has been bad; that we have inher-
tied prejudices from the South; that we
have been poisoned by slavery in every
part and member and fibre of the body pol
tito; but that the party now predominant
throughout the North is that party which
once was a small minority, but has fought
up against that prejudice and wrong until
at last it has come into the ascendancy,
and that EugIishmen are asked now 70
strike US who have been martyrs for the
people, for the very prejudices which came
from the men who are now in rebelliOn.-I

7HR NEW 4oRK RIOTS,
And iu respect TO that riot which took
place IN New York, / declare my cOnvic-
tion that it was nothing in the world bRt
the sore made by foreign blister on our
body-the rioters were as a body uhques-
tionably Irishmen. You shall NOT say that
1 am saying this to their prejudice, be-
cause these Irish labOrers came to us poor
and uneducated creatures, subject TO the
influence of men who were intelligent above
them, aud they have been iustduOusly
taught by corrupt Americans, am
ashamed to say, that the emancipation of
the slave would take away from them the
market of labor, and bring the whole
South North-Which is exactly the OppO-
site of truth, that il would take all the
coIored North South-but they have been
stuffed, aud under the most offensive forms,
and for the purpose of making them mis-
chievous, with these notions, and with the
sting of the draft just RbOut to be put on
them, there was wild, furious uprising
of the Irish people. twas very cruel and
wicked but so cruel and wicked thing
was never done with so much excuse for
the wicked actors as this. They were
blind, igorant, misled creatures, who thO't
they were fighting, not so much against
the blacks as against the blacks for them.
selves. When Archbishop Hughes was
called upon to address them, the street be-
fore the ATChiepiscOpal residence was
alive with the crowded thousands. His
speech was reported, and he never iusinu-
ated that he thought that anybody else
was engaged but the Irishmen, whom he
was blaming in his very paternal and ghe-
tie way for doing such naughty things.-I
TCheers.l But Whist WAS the conduct on
the other hand of the citizens of New
York? Between $4,000 and $4,000
were subscribed to relieve the wants
of these people in a days, and a
large Committee was appointed from
