TI! writer has often been inquired of, by corres- pondents from different parts of the country, who- ther this narrative is s true one: untl to these inqpiirics she will give one general answer.

he sepsratotncidents that comprise the narra- tive are to a very great extent authentic, occurring, giany of them. either under her own ohservatioii, orthstofher crsonal friends. She or her friends have observe characters the counterpart of slinost ell that are here introduced; and nisny of the sayings are word for word as heard herself or re- ported to her.

The personal appearance of Elisa, the charac- ter ascribed to her, are sketches drawn front life. The incorruptiblc fidelity, piety, and honesty of Uncle Tom, had more thttn one ilevelopment to her personal knowledge. Some of the most deeply tragic and romantic. some of the most ter- rible incidents. have also their parallel in reality. The incident of the mother’s crossing the Ohio River on the ice is a well~lrnowrt fact. The story of“ old Prue," (Chapter XIX.) was an incident that fell under the personal observation ofe bro- ther of the writer, then collecting-clerlr to a large mercantile house in New Orleans. From the same source was derived the character of the planter, Lsgrec. Of him her brother tints wrote, speaking of visiting his plantation on u collecting tour. “ He actually tirade me feel of his list, which was like a hlackemith’s hummer or a no- ditlc of iron, telling me that it was ‘ callouscd with knocking down niggors.‘ When 1 left the plantation I drew a lonir breath, and felt as if I

ad escaped from an oure's den."

That the trsgicel fate of Tom, also, has too many times had nits artillel, there are living witnesses all over our land to testify. Let it be remembered that in all Southern statesit is a principle 0'." jurisprudciice that no person of co- loured lineage can testify in s suit against a white, and it will be easy to see that such a case may occur wherever there is e mun whose passions outweigh hie interests, and a slave who. has man- hood or principle enough to resist his will There is actually nothing to protect the slave‘s life but the diameter of the master. Facts too shocking to be contemplated occaeionally force their way to the public car, and the comment that one often hears made on them is more shucliin than the thing itself. It is said, ” Very likely such cases may now and then occur, but they are no sample of general pruciir-cl" This injustice is sit inhcrenl one in tlir ttlove r-_vsteiit', it cuiiitot exist without it.

The public and shameless sole of beautiful mulatto stid quedroon girls hue acquired a notori- ety from the incidents ' apture of the Pearl. We extract the following from the speech of the Hon. Horace Mann, one of the legal coun- sel for the defendants in that case. He as_va : " ln that company ofscveuty-six persons. who attempt. ed, in 1848 to escape from the district of Colum- bia in the schooner Pearl, and whose ollicera l assisted in defending, there were several young and healthy girls, who had those peculiar attrac- tions of form and feature which connoisseurs prise so ’|ir.ubctli Russell was one of them. She immediately fell into the slave-trader's fangs. and was doomed for the ow Orleans The hearts of those that saw her were touched with ' for her fate. They offered eighteen hundred dollars to redeem her; and some there were who offered to give that would not have much left after the gift; but the fiend of a slave-trader was inexorable. She was ties alch- edlo New Orleans; but, when about lial way there. God had mercy on her with death. There were two girls named Eilmondsoo in the same company. When about to be sent to the same market, on older sister went to the shambles to

lead with the wretch who owned them, for the

ore of God to spare hie victims. He bsntered

her, telling what tlur dresses and fine furniture they would have. ‘ Yes,’ she said, ' that me do very well in this life, hut what will become of them in the next! They, too, were sent to New Orleans; but were afterwards redeemed at an en- ormous ransom ond~brou ht back.” Is it not plain from this, that the istories of Emmeline and Cassy may have many counterparts?

The young men tooli ad- vantage efthis o rturiity to secure his own free- dom, and fled to l e protection ofe Quaker, who tvss qsite noted in sflirirs ofihiskind. The owner was exceedlngl indignant. He had elwsystree- ted the slave wiih such indulgence, and his conti- dencu in his slfectiori was such, that he believed he must have been rsetissd upon to induce himto revolt from him. ii. visited the Quaker, in high anger ; but being d of uncommon candonr and feirnom, was soon quieted by his arguments and representations. it was a side of the subject which he never had lieard—-never had thought on ; and he immediately told the Quaker that, if the slave would to his own face. say, that it was his desire to be free, he would liberate him. tsrvlew was forthwith procured. and Nathan was mhod by his young master whether he had ever had any reason to complain of his treatment, in

my respect. “ No mes’r," said Nathan ; " you’ve always bus to me."

For many years of her life, the author avoided all reading upon or allusion to the subject of slavery. considering it as too peiufol to be inqui- red into, and one which sdvsiielug light and invi- liution would certainly livh down. But, since the legislation Act of IOU, who she heard, with perfect surprise and ccnmernstisn. Christian a humane pople aetually recommending the remand- ing escaped fusitves into slavery. as a duty bind- ing on good citissns- when she heard on all hands, from hind, compassionate, and estimable people, in the free states of the North, deliberations and discussions as to what Christian duty could be on this head-—slie could only think, these men and Christians cannot know what slavery is; if they did, such a question could never be open for dis- cuusinn. from this arose a desire to exhi- hit it in a living ' She has endea- voured to show it fairly. in its tend worst pha- ses. In its best as t, she has. perhaps, been suc- cessful ; but, oh, who shall say what yet remains untold in that valley and shadow of death that lies on the other side!

To, you, generous, noble-minded man and wo- men of the Scnth—you, whose virtue and rnngnsni- mity, and purity of character, are the greater for the sevsrer trial it has encountered--to you is her appeal. Have you not, in your own secret souls. in your own private ccnrersiugs. felt that there are woes and evils in this accursed system fer be- yond what are here shadowed, or can be she- dowsd 7 Can it be otherwise! ls more ever a cros- ture to be trusted with wholly irresponsible power! And does not the slave system, by deny- ing the slave all legal right of testimony, inske every individual owner an irresponsible despot! Can anybody fail to make the inference what the practical result will be! lfthere is, so we admit, a public sentiment among you, men of honour, 'ustice, and hitmsntiy. is there not also another ltiud of public sentiment among the rutlian, the hrurnl, mil ilehssedl Anti cannot the ruflien, the brutal, the debneed, by slave law, own justss many slaves as the best and purest? Are the honourable, the just, the high-minded, and com- passionate, the majority anywhere in this world.

The slave-trride is now, by A ricsn law, considered as piracy. ‘ But a slave-trade as syste- matic as ever was carried on on the coast of Africa is an inevitable atteuilent and result of American slavery. And its heart-break and its horrors, can they betold?

The writer has given only a faint shadow, a dim picture. ofthe anguish and flspeir that are at this very moment riving thousands of hearts, shuttering thousands of fsmilcs, and fir’ hclpli.-rs and sensitive race tofferrly and despair, There are those living who k w the mothers whom this accursed treflic is driven to the murder of their children, and themselves seeking in death a frottr-woes more dreaded than death. Nothing of tragedy can be written, can

a oltsn, can be conceived. that nals the frightful reality of scenes daily and hour y acting on our shores, berieat e shadows of American law, and the shadows of the cross ofCltrist.

And now, men and women of America. is this a thing to be tritled with apologised for, and passed over in silence? Farmers of Mssoschusestts, of New Hampshire, of Vermont, of Connecticut, who read this book by the hints of your winter- evoning fire——atrong-heattepil, generous sailors and ship-owners of Msioe—is this a thing for you to countenance and encourage! Brave and gene. rous men of New York, farmers of rich sndjoyone Ohio, and ye of the wide prairie States, answer. is this a thing for you to protect and countenance! And you. mothers of Amorice—you, who have learned. by the cradles of your own children, to love and feel for all mankind, hy the sacred love you hear your child ; by your joy in his beautiful, spotless infancy : by the rnotherl pity and tenderness with which you guide is growing years; by the anxieties of his education; by the

rnysrs you breathe for his soul's eternal good—l beseech you, pity the mother who has all your affections and not one legal right to protect, guide, or educate the child of her bosoral By the sick hour of your child; by "those dying eyes. which you can never forget; by those last «ice that wrong your heart when you could Isltlter liol not save; by the desolation of that empty cradle, than silent nurssry,l oa, ty t mothers that are constantly reeds child by the American slave-trade! And say, mothers of America, is this a thing to be defended, sympa- thised with, passed over is silence!

That the providence of God has rcvidait a refuge in Arms. is. indeed, a great so noticeable fact ; but that is no reason why the Church of Christ should throw ollthst roeponsibilizy to this outcast race which her profession demsri s of her.

To till it Liberia with an ignorant inexperi- enced, helf-lierbsrised race, jitstesea from the chains of slavery, would be only. to prolong for ages the period of struggle and conflict which at"- tands the inception of new enterprises. Let the Church ofthe North receive these poor suflhrers in the spiritof Christ; receive them to the educa- ting advantages of Christian republican society and schools, until they have attained to somewhat of s

and intellectual maturity, and then assist them in their e to those shores where they may put in practice the lessons they have learned in America.

era is a body of men in the North, compare- tively smell, who have been doing this: and, as the result, this country has already seen examples of men, formerly slaves. who have rapidly scquird property, reputation, and education. Talent has

or u , which, considering the circum- stances, is certainly remarkable; and, for moral traits of honesty, lriudness, tenderness of feeling, forlisroic cdbrts and self-denials, endured for the ransome ten and ' yet in slavery, they have been remsrksbl to a degree that, con- sidering the infliteuce under which they were born, is surprising.

e writer has lived, for man the frontier-line of slave amiss, en es. opportunities of observation anion those who formerly were slaves. They have n in their fomil as servants ; end, in default of any other when to receive them, she , in man cases, had them instructed in is family scboo , with her own children.

Therein nothing t the are not willingto give or do to have their chi dren instructed; and, so for us the writer has observed herself, or taken the testimony of teeohcrs among them, they are remarkably in- telligent and nick to learn. The results of V or them by benevolent indivi- duals in Cincinnati fully osmblish this. The author gives the following statement of the authority of Professor 0. E.
