18 - THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, HAT 24, 190$. WHERE NEGROES ARE FREE COURTESY AAU COXSIDBItATION SHOWN HC IREXiAJTD. 'Interesting Accosat Wrltlea fer Frederick Donclass of His Re ception la 1840. A letter of extraordinary Interest at this time from Frederick Douglass to "William XJoyd Garrison has Just come to light In the columns of the True American, a little anti-slavery paper published in Cortland Village, N. T., In 1S46. The let ter, -written tvlth the eloquence and depth of feeling ivhlch characterized all Mr. Douglass' -utterances on the subject of slavery and the abuse of the negro In this country, describes the marked differ ence between the treatment accorded him In Ireland, -where he was then traveling, nd in this country. The letter, -which the True American copied from the Bos ton Liberator, Mr. Garrison's paper. Is introduced by the following editorial com ment from the Albany Journal, under date of February U, 1S46: "It Is scarcely necessary to direct at tention to the letter of Frederick Doug lass, -which -wo copy from the Boston Lib erator. It will be read -with equal pleas ure and amazement by those -who remem ber that eight years ago he -was a slave, and that he literally stole the elements of an education which now gives him rank among tho most gifted and eloquent men of the age. "Wo shall not blame those who refuse to believe that Frederick -wrote this let ter. "Without tho personal knowledge we possess of his extraordinary attainments, we, too, should doubt -whether a fugitive slave, who, as but yesterday, escaped from a bondage that doomed him to ignorance and degradation, now stands up and re bukes oppression with a dignity and force scarcely less glowing than that which Paul addressed to Agrlppa." The letter Is as follows: Victoria Hotel. Belfast, January 1, 1S4G. My Dear Friend Garrison: I am now about to take leave of the Emerald Isle, for Glasgow, Scotland. I have been here a little more than four months. Up to this time I have given no direct expres sion of the views, feelings and opinions -which I hive formed, respecting the char acter and condition of the people of this land. I have refrained thus purposely. I wish to speak advisedly, and in order to do this I have -waited till I trust experi ence has brought my opinions to an In telligent maturity. I have been thus care ful, not because I think what I may say will have much efTect In shaping the opinions of the world, but because what ever of influence I may possess, -whether little or much. I wish it to go in the right direction, and according to truth. I hardly need say that In speaking of Ireland, I shall be Influenced by no preju dices in favor of America, I think my cir cumstances all forbid that. I have no end to serve, no creed to uphold, no govern ment to defend: and as to nation, I belong to none. I have no protection at home, or resting place abroad. The land of my birth welcomes me to her shores only a slave, and epurns with contempt the idea of treating me differently. So I am an out cast from the society of my childhood, and an outlaw in the land of my birth. "I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner as all my fathers were." That men should be patriotic is to me perfectly natural; and as & philosophical fact, I am able to give it an intellectual recognition. But no further can I go. If ever I had any patriotism, or any capacity for the feel ing, it was whipped out of me long since by the lash of the American soul-drivers. In thinking of America, I sometimes find myself admiring her bright blue sky her grand old woods her fertile fields her beautiful rivers her mighty lakes, and star-crowned mountains. But my rapture is soon checked, my Joy Is soon turned to mourning. "When I remember that all is cursed with the infernal spirit of slaveboldlng, robbery, and wrong when I remember that with the waters of her noblest rivers, the tears of my brethren are borne to the ocean, disre garded and forgotten, and that her most fertile fields drink dally of the warm "blood of my outraged sisters, I am filled with unutterable loathing, and led to reproach myself that any thing could Jail from my Hps In praise of such a land. America will not allow her chil dren to love her. She seems bent on compelling those who would be her warm, est friends, to bo her worst enemies. May God give her resentence before it is too late, is the ardent prayer of my heart. I will continue to pray, labor and wait, believing that she cannot al ways ,be Insensible to the dictates of Justice, or deaf to the voice of humanity. My opportunities for learning the char acter and condition of the people of this land have been very great. I have trav eled almost from the hill of 'Howth' to the Giant's Causeway, and from the Giant's Causeway to Cape Clear. During these travels I have met with much in the character and condition of the peo ple to approve, and much to condemn much that has thrilled me with pleasure end very much that has filled me with pain. I will not in this letter attempt to give any description of those scenes which have .given me pain. This I will do hereafter. I have enough, and more than your subscribers will be disposed to read at one time, of the bright side of tho picture. I can truly say, I have spent some of the happiest moments of my life since landing in this country. I seem to have undergone a transforma tion. I live a new life. The warm and generous co-operation ex tended to me by the friends of my de spised racethe prompt and liberal man ner with which the press has rendered me its aid the glorious enthusiasm with which thousands have flocked to hear tho cruel wrongs of my down-trodden and long-enslaved fellow-countrymen por trayedthe deep sympathy for the slave, and the strong abhorrence of the slave holder, everywhere evinced the cordiality with which members and ministers of va rious religious bodies and of various shades of religious opinion have" embraced me, and lent me their aid the .kind hos pitality constantly proffered to me by per sons of the highest rank in society the spirit Qf freedom that seems to animate all with whom I come In contact and the entire absence of everything that looked ljko prejudice against me, on account of the color of my skin contrasting so strongly with my long and bitter experi ence in the United States, that I look with wonder and amazement on tho transition. In the Southern part, of tho United States I was a slave, thought of and spoken of as property. In the language of the law, "held, taken, reputed and ad Judged to he chattel in the hands of my owners and possessors, and their exe cutors, administrators and assigns, to all intents, constructions and purposes what soever." Brev. Digest, 224. In the North ern States, a fugitive slave, liable to be hunted at any moment like a felon, and to be hurled into the terrible Jaws of alavery doomed by an Inveterate preju dice against color to insult and outrage on every hand (Massachusetts out of the question) denied the privileges and cour tesies common to others in the use of the most humble of conveyances shut out from the cabins on steamboats refused admission to respectable hotels carica tured, scorned, scoffed, mocked, and mal treated with impunity by any one (no matter how black his heart), so he has a white skin. But now behold tho change I Eleven days and a half gone, and I have crossed 3000 miles of the perilous deep. Instead of a democratic government, I am under a monarchical government. Instead of tho bright blue sky of America, I am covered with the soft gray fog ot the Emerald Isle. I breathe, and lot tho chattel be comes a. man. I gaze around in vain for oa whowlll question my equal humanity. claim mo as his slave, or offer me an in sult. I employ a cab I am seated beside white people I reach the hotel I enter the same door I am shown, into the same parlor I dine at the same table and no one is offended. No delicate nose grows deformed in my presence. I find no diffi culty here in obtaining admission into any place of worship, instruction or amuse ment, on equal terms with people as white as any I ever saw in the United States. I meet nothing to remind me of my com plexion. I find myself regarded and treat ed at every turn with the kindness and deference paid to white people. "When I go to church, I am met by no upturned nose and scornful Hp to tell me, "We don't allow niggers in here!" I remember about two years ago there was, in Boston, near the southwest cor ner of Boston Common, a menagerie. I had long desired to see such a collection as I understood were being exhibited there. Never having had an opportunity" while a slave, I resolved to sleze this, my first, since my escape. I went, and as I approached the entrance to gain admis sion, I was met and told by the door keeper in harsh and contemptuous tone, "We don't allow niggers In here." I also remember attending a revival meeting in the Rev. Henry Jackson's meeting-house, at New Bedford, and going up the broad aisle to find a seat. I was met by a good deacon, who told me. in a pious tone, "We don't allow niggers hero!" Soon after my arrival in New Bedford from the South, I had a strong desire to attend the Lyceum, but was told, "We don't al low niggers in here!" While passing from New York to Boston on the steamer Massachusetts, on the night of the 9th December, 1M3, when chilled almost through with the cold. I went into the cabin to get a little warm. I was soon touched upon the shoulder and told, "We don't allow niggers in here." On arriving in Boston from an anti-slavery tour, hungry and tired, I went into an eating-house near my friend Mr. Camp bell's, to get some refreshments. I was met by a lad in a white apron. "We don't allow niggers in here!" A week or two before leaving the United States I had a meeting appointed at Waymouth, the home of that glorious band of true aboli tionists, the Weston family and others. On attempting to take a seat in the om nibus to that place, I was told by the driver (and I shall never forget the fiend ish haste), "We don't allow niggers In here!" Thank heaven for the respite I now enjoy! I had been in Dublin but a few days, when a gentleman of great respect ability offered to conduct me through all the public buildings of that beautiful city; and a little afterwards I found myself dining with the Lord Mayor of Dublin. What a pity, there was not some Ameri can Democratic Christian at the door of his splendid mansion to bark out at my approach, "They don't allow niggers' In here!" The truth is, the people here know nothing of the Republican negro hate prevalent in our glorious land. They measure and esteem men according to their moral and intellectual worth, and not according to the color of their skin. Whatever may be said of the aristocracies here, there Is none based on the color of a man's skin. This species of aristocracy belongs pre-eminently to "tho land of the free and the home of -the brave." I have never found It abroad. In any but Ameri cans. It sticks to them -wherever they go. They find It almost as hard to set rid of as to get rid of their, skins. The second day after my arrival at Liverpool, in company with by friend Buffum, and several other friends. I went to Eaton Hall, the residence of the Mar quis of Westminster, one of the most splendid buildings In England. On ap proaching the door, I found several of our American passengers who came out with us in the Cambria, waiting at the door for admission, as but one party was. al lowed In the house a.t a time. We all had to wait till the company within came out. And of all the faces expressive of cha grin, those of the Americans were pre eminent. They looked as sour as vinegar. and bitter as gall, when they found I was to be admitted on equal terms with themselves. When tho door was opened I walked In. on an equal footing with my white fellow-cltlzens, and from all I could see I had as much attention paid me by the servants who showed me through the house as any with paler skin. As I walked through tho building, the statuary did not fall down, the pic tures did not leap from their places. the doors did not refuse to open, and tho servants did not say, 'We don't allow niggers in here!' A happy new year to you and all the friends of freedom. Excuse this imperfect scrawl, and be lieve me to bo ever and always yours. FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Zoological Quips. The woodchuck told the mole about the sun. "Yes, yes," said the mole, "there is an awful lot of useless stuff in this world." "Well, I guess I'll hurry to the surface and get some fresh air," said tho whale to tho clam. Poor creature," muttered the clam, looking after him, "what a struggle ho has to keep alive." The locust eat sunning himself. "Hello, grasshopper!" said a passing fox. "Grasshopper!" shrieked the Indignant insect. "I'll sue for libel. I'm a locust and my ancestors were Biblical charac ters."
