CHAPTER I.
The first thing that struck me, was the
vast disproportion of ncgroes in the :-tr‘:-e'.s
and every \\‘llt‘l'(’. else. I may affirm with
perfect vei'acilv, that nearly one half of the
inliabitonts of Boston are black. Etch of
these poor vi‘:-atures has a white man always
standing over him, with a large club about
the tltickttess of ti man’s arm, with which he
beats the poor slaves for anittsetrivnt. I as.
sure you I have seen, I may s:t_\'. a thotrsnnd
nominated. All I can say is,rh:tt the sooner
they change their habits the better, for i:
will hardly be l)l:'llt'\'(.'(I, that we had scarce
ly entered the confines of Conn».-t‘tit:nt, the
very C('nl.0‘l’ of steady l‘i:ibits, when although
it was Sunday, (a sufficient reason for tlt-tei-
fin-.2 any clii'isti:tn highwaym.tn,) we \vvi'e
stopped by a lO0lp:|(l, who (It-'tIlafl(lt‘tl money
with as little cotnpunction as a he wolf.-
Upon my sltowing my iistols ‘however, he
SlIt’t:‘ft’(I off, and the driver whip;-ing up his
ll0fStS al. the rnomcnt we luckily r-scapv-tl
this time. The incident ofa single foot pad,
attotnpting to rob a whole stage load ol peo-
ple, furni.-hes anotlicr proofof the fact, that
the stage drivers and stage 0‘-\l1f‘l'S, not to
say a majority of stage passengers, are ac-
complices of these bands of robbers. Had it
not been for my pistols, we should all have
bl‘(‘n robbed to a certainty, and most proba-
bly the rest ofthe passengers would have
shared my spoils. What exhibits the tur-
bulent and impions spiritof democracy in all
its turpitnde, is the fact that the driver, after
grtling fairly otit of sight, turned round on
the p11SSt‘l’l‘__3‘Pl‘5 with a grin, and exclaimr-d,
‘I Q‘ll(.‘5S I've tlislant-t-rl the tleacon. So this
insttnces of this kind a morning. Tlir-re is
hardly a slave here that has not his head
covered with scars. and bound up with a
bandkerchit-f; and almost every Step’ you
l.=ll\'t’, you perceive the SIJIITIS of blood upon
the pavement, which 1 ant assured by Gov-
ernor Hancock himself is that of the YIPQ TOPS.
Ihave sot n .1 lady of the first dis:inctinn
lit-re, wallrinq the Mall, as it is called, with
a stout black fellow behind her, and occns
iouly atnusing herself with tttrniiig round
and scratching his face till it was covered‘
with blood. This Mall is a place of about:
loot pad was one ofthe pillars ofthe church!
I have nothing to to add in addition to
these disgusting [It tails, except that as far as
my sight could l€‘:]t‘l) on either side of the
road, I could sce nobody to work but the
poor £It'!‘lllt‘lYlflt’) of color, half clothed as usu-
al. The white people were for the most
part etnployed in getting drunk at the tavern
drinking ‘hard cider,’ running horse-s. fight-
ing c cks, or gougiu_<__z' one another's eyes
uut—tl.e \\'0:‘n(‘n sitting along the road,
clictvirtg tobacco and spitting in the fzices of
tho pass--rs by ; and the little boys and girls
were pretty much engaged in beating their
parents. To vary these arr:u.<cmcn'.s tl.e_v
somctimt-s mrnlce a party to hunt a little na-
walk ; and the t.‘Olllll)OIl amtisertient of young
persons is to stick‘ pins in their black attend-
r
The blacks here, as I was assured by his
whose name is
Hancock, have but one meal a day, which
is principally potatoes, and a fare little better
than the rniscrablc Irish or English peasant-
ry at home. The Governor told me a sin
ry ofa man. who tied his black st-rvant nn.
ked to a stake in one of the neighboring
cane breaks near the city, which abound in
a race of rnoscliv.-tots that bite through
boot.
a
Here he was left one rtighl, in the
ttiont'ri of D»-cemlwr, which is a spring
month in this climate. and the next moi'nint_r
was found stone tlt-ad, without a drop of blood
in his bodv. Irtsltetl if this brutal tyrant
was not brought to justice? The Governor
shrtigqetl up his shoulders and replied that
he was :1 mf‘l'lil)c‘l‘ of Congress l
* ‘k * 4' It
The next. morning I strolled out into the
fields with a view of set-inn‘ the svstem of
rural econorny practisetl in t 9 south. One
of the best mztnaged plantations was that of
his excellency Governor Ilaricock, whose
name is si2r.et.l to the decl.i ration ofindepend-
eticc. Said to be written by one .Ief‘ferson, a
player belongingto the Philadelphia theatre.
The governor is a brisk. troublesome little
man, about forty. His plantation is at a
place called Morimack, on the river of that
name. I saw a plenty of slaves and a scarc-
ity of every thing else. The principle pro.
ducts are rice, cotton, and tobacco. The
rice grows gcrierallv on the high grounds;
but the cotton requires to be covered with
water occasionally. The bv st is called Sea
Island, b.ecau<e it grows upon little islands
in the mill ponds, which the people here,
according to their universal practice of M'-
perbole, call seas. As for tobacco. this fil-
thy and unwholesome weed is found to flour-
ish best in negro grave yards, where it is
comtnouly raised, and where you may every
day during the month of Jrttitiary, when it is
ripe, see the children of the slaves gathering
it from the very graves of their parents.—-
This tobacco is used as food by men women
and children, who eat it as we do stllad.—
I‘It’l'€‘. I saw the poor negroes \vorl.'ing batc-
heaided, and I might say, barebacked, in the
broiling sun, which sometimes actuallv Sets
fire to their woolly heads, of which I saw
several examples in the course ofmy travels.
Two or three heads were already beginning
to smoke, and I was told if I staid half an
hour longer, I might see them blaze. Hav-
ing seen enough, however, to convince me
that the system of farming here was execra-
ble, I returned home by another route, which
gave me an opportunity of seeing Yale Col-
lege.

Breakl.-‘-sling at a little town, which like
all other towns in the country, is called the
cily of Hartford, I saw n_young lady devour
thirty six cucumbers, moistened with a quart
of vinegar. After which she satdown, play-
ed the Lodoislm on the piano, and then went
into the fields to pull onions. Such horri

who were all gathered together to ht at‘ thisl
cliarming concert, which they would prefer
to the cotnmr--moration of Hand: I. Some of,
the largest frogs actually jumped upon deck,
and a canoe along side was iii-arly upstt by
three or four of them clasnberin;_r upon its
sides, at one and the some litue. The placi-
is called Frog‘.s' Nru./r., nod rtevcr “its there

that by the time they come to the Hog’s~

they lay down flat on their faces and let the

‘extreme nnction,’ and preparing for death,
which the C0l1l'lal]I)l(.'i|ll\'8 traveller assurcd

with all this, ninety-nine in a hundred of
these, my wretched countrymen, would as

miserable creatures say their prayers, and
make. some little preparation to die like
christians, instead of thus l;eastil_ving them-

that made rue shudder, ‘this is what we call

consider the kind manner in which you, my
lord, have spoken ofme and my country, I
am almost overpou-'ei'ed by my feelings, and
want words to express them. (Cheers) ~

And it is a most remarkable fact, if you will

them into proffitable alliance with himself?
