and other papers Of that class at the
North are constantly filled with la
mentations over the wretchedness oi
the Southern negro, and some OF their
evangelical journals seem to regard

Our negroes may be very wretched in
their sleek and well.fed skins and
comfortable dresses, but not one OF
them would exchange his easy servl'

oppression at the North. We have
here in New Orleans another great

long St. Paul's chapel, they present
themselves in every aspect Of defor-
nifty Disease and dissolution. They
seem to say to you-'Behold in the
midst of these shady walks; in view Of
yon noble bay and its aflluent COM
merce; by the side Of the refreshing
fountain; nay, at the very portals of
