We agreed that if the South could be relieved of Northern interference, the condition of the colored people would be greatly improved, in many respects; especially, we regretted that now we did not have an enlightened public sentiment at the North to help the best part of the Southern people in effecting reformations and improving the laws and regulations.

Now, the Northern influence is wholly nugatory, or positively adverse.

The opinions and feelings of calm and candid neighbors and friends have great influence.

This the South does not enjoy.

The North is her passionate reprover; she is held to be, by many, her avowed enemy.
