ON SLAVES ‘AN D SLAVE.L:flI3OR‘.’
Extract from a late Address by t'Tarités‘B'a,rbour
(Secretary of War) t’o‘rtie“Agr-iciilttii*al So‘
ciety of Albettiarle, vii,«;iIii...- __ ; .
“ I pass to another ‘su‘b_l’c'ct ‘ol"r'io less inte-
rest-.—Tlie treatment and irtanagemerrt of otir
Slaves. They form a large, ifnot the princi-
pal -part of our, laboring class. Such ar class,
wliejher bond or fir3_'e, white or black, must
exist in every commnnity,. as they are the
indispcnsable foundation ioftlie social fabric.
Every mitigation ‘oftlit-it coiitlition ‘consistent
with tlieeiid of their existence is tlicrefore a‘
solerzriicbligatioti on those to whose comfort
they contribute. It has pleased Pi'()“r'idi3liB8
to permit with us a large .sliare'of this useful
class to be slaves. I esteem -it fortunate as
true that their good treatment is recommend-
ed no less by interest than litttiianity, and that
their being, sUbjt'.Clcd,_to it proper discipliiie,
and tirade fo perform it reztsoirable sli:-it-e.ol’
labour, is-sqitall-_y beneficial to themselves and
their owiiers. Wlie_it well tre.ated,- by‘whi_ch
I tiiean abundantly fed, well clothed, audio
sickness due attention and every comfort their
condition requires and in the potver'of the
ownerto admiiiister, they are enabled to per-
forrii, and do perform in most iirstances with
alacrity, so in'uc‘h uiore labour‘ than whcu_otli~
erwise used, as most completely to iiidetunify
their employer. And every dayisobservatioii
ascertains to us, when proper authority is not
exertrised, that their- owners are tiiiabie _to,pi'o-
ride ‘for tlietii coml‘ortab'ly, that such slaves
becotiie entirely insiibortlirizite, and are gene-
rally a pest to the’ ii‘cighl'ioi'hood ; and hence
pcrrnitttngtliem to do nothing, which is by
some termed lrumaiiity, is attended alike with
the injury of the slave, and the speedy rtiiti of
the owner, who surt_'eii.'lers hinisclf to this fills-
guided indulgencc. Tlieir, diet should be
bread without litnit*a daily allowance of
uieat—tnilk in the summer and 'dlllf.llll[l—_El'f‘f(l
older, with those who have orcliards, in the
winter and spring, to supply tlic_ absence of
tnilk. i'I"heir clothing should bethrce suits-
zi good warm one for winter, and two linen
for suiuuicr; and there shouldbe on an es-
tate ofany extent at hand to cook and wash
forthe laborers. The humane atteiitioii of
the master is particiilarly appealed to in sick-
ness, or when tn.-y become old and iiifirm.-—
In the former situation, tlieyare entitled not
only to medical aid, but to the iinriiediate at.
terition ofthe master. Ile shoul.-l givcofliis
stores at that time with no sparing hant_l., In
raising children, one place ofi'cnrle:'svous, un-
der the snperiiitciidaiice of some elderly:wo-
than, who unites kindness tvith authority, and
who is responsible for their comfort and safe-
ty, is productive of the best results.“ Tothis
kind of treatiiiei_it Iliavc added rewards to
the most dcscrvintr. The-cost is trifling, and
the effect nrariifestly be_ueficial. It irrspircs
gr-aiitiide to the master, anti becunies a stimu-
lius to‘ good coiidtict. '
“The relation of master and slave, thus
mairitained, is deprived of its otlierwisc harsh
and uiifricndly cliaracter, produces the conso-
ling reflection, that every thing has been ac-
Cotllpllallefl which the actual ptislllle-,U_l' our
siruatioii admits, leaves no"regret, except what
results from uiicontrnllahlc circuiiistaiices,and_
in its practical operation _oti the slaves tlierii-
selves is attended with content, with cotiifirtt,
and a degree of liappiiiess far beyoiitl 'wli.it
their countrymen enjoy in their native land,
and challenging without" fear a cotnpzrrison
with the laboring classes in sortie oftlie civil-
ized countries df'l:‘.itropc. Any effort forci-
bly todistorb their relation with a view to
a cliange oftheir coiiditiou, which can be at-
tempted only by those who do not foresee, or
seeing are reckless ofthc consequences, cati-
not fail to make worse the condition ofthe
slaves. For our own daily experience
teaches us that the couditioti of the slaves,
when well treated. is infinitely preferable
to that of free people of colour. We know
that they are ignorant, insolent, and deiiioral-
IZ:-.(l, having no osteiisihlc nieans ofacquiring
their stibsisiencc, wrctchetl as it is, so as to
leave no doubt that it is derived frotii prosti-
ttitiou, from theft, and from begging, and to
be rid of whom is an object of otir first tlr-site.
Our slaves, brought among us by other gene-
rations, not only under the sanction of, but by
the existing sovereign autliority--mixed with
us in such numbcrsas to be utiiiiariageaiilc
except in their present conditioii ; giizirantied
as property to us by the fundatnental princi-
ples of society, both implied and expressed,
they are, and of iiecessity must -so continue
gxclusively under our conirol——:rnd srich I
believe, is the settled conviction ofa vast pro-
portion of the Atnericaii people, to rvliatevei
section we refer. - The-croakings of the dis-
tempered, who seek to establish ti character
forpliilantliropy, at the expense of otliers-—-—
whose §peCLll:IliQDS are indulged without scru-
ple at the hazard of the future peace and:
happiness of it great nation, who ettcmt-met‘
neither risk unr~s.icrificc in the projects they
propose,w'tll soon he cotisigiied to the oblivion
they inerit. Every man ofobscrvatiou is sens-
ible that this is a chord of great seiisiliility,
wliicli, when rudely touched ny a straiige oi
llltslillflll liaud, vibrates through a large [tt)l‘_
tiou ofthis Uuioii. He tliei‘cl'oi‘e who looks
to this'.Union as the plctlg'e of our future hopes,
no matter where accident may have placvd
liim,will unite hea-rt and hand in scowling into
C()lllf!ltl(.l. these wild or incendiary projects.”

certain house in this city, then in good cir-
ctmistances, called at the Manhattan Batik, to
take tip their note, which according to their
ineiuoratidtiin book, fall due that day, for
$2,500, but on application at the batik, they-
were assured by the clerk that no such note
was there; they tlien applied to their endorser
to learn what bank it was lodged in',atid were
inforincd the Manhattan Batik. Back they
went to the -Maiiliattan, and receiving the
saute answer’ as hefort-.,tliey desisted fro-.:i any
further search. But on the Qfst instant they
received a notice, that the note had beconio
due, and was so oti the f0tli, but that it had
been ctitcred by the niistake of the clerk as
arriving at maturity on the Qlst. But alas!
in the riicau tiuie the house hadrbecoirie bank-
rupt,nwing to the misfortune ofa distant fir:n.

accident exonerated, who bears the loss ?

cerns ofthis Bitllli, wcrc appraised nftheir ap-

morning, by express frotii Trenton. With
the greatest proinptitude they repaired to Jer

ceived them politely, aritl peaceably yielded
the kcys——thc books, and the riioiiey in tin:
vault, amounting to from 8_ to l0,_0l.0 dollars
in specie and current batik bills—exclusive
of a coiisiderable amount in notes of hand,
the solvency of a "part of which is questiona-
ble. Possession was alsohbtained ofcertain
property pledged for. loans. The cotnrnis-j
sinners spent three days last week in.assidti-
oosly securing such property. as they could
find belonging to the concern, and in investi-
gating the matters of-the Bait-!<—-—aiid it is
probable the whole of the present week will
be occupied for the sonic purpose. Had the
coiiitnissioners been an hour later, it is said,
all the moveable effects would liave been in
New York-and of course out of the jririsdic
tion of this State. An idea has prevailed,
that the seizure ofthc Bank was to secure the
Bonus of 9.5.000 dollars. , If we are correctly
infornied, tlielaw repealing the cliartcr,uialtcs_
no special provision for such a course ; on the
contrary, it is inferred that tlic,ini-ioceiit hold-
ers ofbills oftliis bank and its bonafirlc stock
holders are first to he iiidcninrficd ; and it
ought to be so. The "state should wash its
liaiids-ol'tliis inipnrity. The wages,of_fraritl
should never he suffered in corrode in the
Treasury. It is enough for the state, that it
has aiiiitilled its charter ;. let the bonus, as far
as it will go, alleviate innocent sufferers.
Willi regard to the 252,000 dollars, stipposed
to be lost, we copy the following article from
the Elizabetlitowii Journal, of last. week :
“ We are informed that the principal mati-
ageroftliis institution, imtnetliately after pay-
ing to the state the bonus required by the act

are also infiirtiictl, that a few days since, ap-
plication was made to the cotnuiissioners, on
belialfoftlie bank, for the loan of another
and larger suui than that above meminncd.—-
The cotiititissioiicrs, however, instead ofcom-
plying with the request. immediately detnan-
derl from the bank the sum already loatied ;
and it appears the bank tnauagers found it
inorr: convenient to close doors tlian pay the

two historical docuinetits appear to us to be

poitaiice quite other than that of the course

which absorb all the faculties of ()tll'.Sl3t[es-

which we have been developing for the three

“ I could wish, my Dear Sir, that the joy
wliiclt we experience‘ in" seeing ‘again our

vent tric from writing to you in greater detail:
otlierwise, 1 would avail inyselfof this occa-

which all, could they form an idea ofit,would
ardently desire. _I ~wnulrl describe to yoti the

ceived in funding on his natal soil; the noble
ctitliusiasin which broke out at every step on

But I lack, for this, both titne and ability; and
tiroreover, I ‘am bewildered inithc -reniern-

present. Nevertheless, it would be exceed
ingly grateful to me to tell you how much ev-

ever, with the American nation. To all those

now added one of profotind gratitude towards
the People, who have just dispensed to the
World so great and subliuie a lesson. Let us
hope that this lesson will not be lost.
To supply the place of the details which I
am unable to write, I send yoti two numbers
of the Courier Fniiicais, by which you will
see that if,- at Havrc, the citizens expressed
without inolestation to the hero of the two

'Lafuyeltc.—Tlic following is a more do

grunge, where he is at pres_eiit :— A
“ It was on Friday evening that Gen. La-
fayette arrived in the anciciit capital of Nor-
uiautly, which the English have called the
Jdaricliester of France. It’ was soon known
«iptiu the Excliange and -in all the city that
:ne guest of the Atitcrican nation was to dine
with the Hon. M. Cabanoo, who had always
{teen elected Deputy of the Lower Seine,
‘.vhilst his fellow citizens could elect candi-
.t.it’es of their own choice. At Rouen as at
‘tIil.Vi'€, M. Lafayette was accuiiipauicd by his
-auiily and sonic l"ll0ll(lS. At 5 o’clock they
-at down to dinner ; one health only was
-trank ; it was that of the defen'de‘r, the vete-
ran of liberty in the two worlds. Towards 8
‘former colonies, and the Minister Zea sob

in the e'v'e'nin'g’ it great‘: niitiiber of citidetis and

qtiility reigned - in tlicrue dc Crosne and its
cirt'iroiis,ai_id a serenade given to the General
was lte.ird with perfect silence. Bctweenllie
syinpliooies acclarnations weie raised in hon-

lime: by the two opposite extremities of the
rtie dc Ci"o.sr'ie, a‘ detachment. of the Gairde
’Royale,aud ti detachuient of 'g'ettd.rrrnerie‘.—
I‘hc Garde Royale, in this instance, as in oth-
ers, conducted itself with a tiitideratioii and
a prudence, which,unfortunatelyiwas utit ini-
itated by the getidariiiorie. The latter, in or-
der todisperse peztceablecitizens,vvliose meet-
.iug had otzcasionetl ‘no disturbance, treated
tlietii as rioters, and charged. Suddenly the.
women and the cliildreii ti't't'ere‘d cries ofter‘-'
ror—every one was seized with a panic, but
the orders given to the geiidaritierie were so
precise that they irevertlieless contiiitied their
tnarcli. Many females were tlrro'wii' down St.
bruised; at tiianufacttirer of the citv of Bol-
bc-c, an inhabitant of I‘.:)ii‘r-ii, 70 years ofage,‘
and many other persons, received wounds
more or less severe, and the whole assembly
was put to flight by the habrfffl and hayonets
of the gendaroiet'ir.-, who‘ am.-sled ui:in_v intli
vitltials; Before their arrival all had passed
at Ii-ztuen, as at I-lavre, btit it was thought ex-
pedient at R.-')llt‘f) to iuterpose the police and
an armed fince: _froin_ this all the inist-liief
llttS,at‘l5(‘li. This observation is niiatisweranle;
itntl, iieiettheless, -the authorities at Rouen.
seeing, as it inrist be taken, the necessity of
jtistifyiug measures which had no necessity,
inserted in the journal of the Preference, ii
note, in which it is said that the "citizens
groaned to see the tranquility meriacerl by the
presence of a man whose and celebrity coo-
ticcts itself with the most disastrotis period of
the Itcvolutioii.”
Four inatinfacturc rs have entered a com-
plaint before the civil tribunal of Rotten, a-
gaiiist the agents of the police and the milita-

that they were rcttirning peaceably to their

lieved to be-an officer -ofthe police, that they
were pursued, and that one oftlrcin received
a blow mi the backfroui the btit-ciid nfa urns-

_on presenting themselves before the Mayor
ofltntten in order to obtain justice for the hilt-
tality ofthc police, they were badly received,
and the name of the iiidivitlual who had cau-
sed the attack upon ll-iein was refused to be
