We remembered that we had a letter of introduction to that planter, and we had designed visiting him, but after witnessing this scene, we resolved not to go near a monster who could inflict such a wound, with his own hand, upon a child.

We were highly gratified with the kind and sympathizing manner in which Mr.C.
spoke with the unfortunate beings who, in the extremity of their wrongs, ventured to his door.
At the request of the magistrate we accompanied him, on one occasion, to the station-house, where he held a weekly court.

We had there a good opportunity to observe the hostile feelings of the planters towards this faithful officer--"faithful among the faithless," (though we are glad that we cannot quite add, "_only he_.") A number of managers, overseers, and book-keepers, assembled; some with complaints, and some to have their apprentices classified.

They all set upon the magistrate like bloodhounds upon a lone stag.

They strove together with one accord, to subdue his independent spirit by taunts, jeers, insults, intimidations and bullyings.
