HORK0RS OF THE bLAVE 1 KALb.
A letter from an officer of his JMjesty's schooner
Monkey, addressed to his friends in this town, dated
his Majesty's schooner Monkey, at thq Havanna,
April 18(h 1829. '
"t r. the morning of the 7th, we fell in with a
beautiful Spanish schooner, the Josepha, from the
coast of Africa, with 207 slaves on board. 1 was
sent on board to take charge of her, with 8 men,
all the crew being made prisoners and sent on board
he Monkey, to proceed down here. Such a heart
rending sight I never before beheld, nor could I be
lieve that human beings could ever survive the hard
fihip8.aud -cruelties thote poor creatures did: there
were about 80 women and girls, and the remainder
men aud bojs, some of the little children not more
than six or seven )ears of age, and several old inentV
women: tfiey were stowed away in a place in tin
hold in the vessel scarcely large enough for one quar
ter of their number, and that not more than 2$ feet
high ; bcfore,we fell in with her the Spaniards used
them shamefully, more like beasts than fellow crea
tures; they were all entirely naked, and great num
bers of them completely crippled by being confined
below ; 20 of the poor things ' died on the passage,
from the ill usage they received;! Cave no doubt ; and
t n--f totrfeTTe ti'sarcr ltnEf iv rrtnrstrir '"w'e i1-y''i TTT
one'-poor w tman died just after we came in, and ano
ther was delivered of a little girl the night, before
theie axe now- lour little babies at the breast, am
Several poor women iu tbe family way ; wlon wt
on
y. lo ripen t'i amiharity into
h-ieudal.i;', as far as the mod aw!:ward diffidence
would permit, v. i.sniy etrenuoui? endeavor. If his
opu.io.i contradicted :;iine, I immediately, without
reasoning on the sol jeci, concede 1 the point Lo him,
as a matter of course that he must be right, and by
consequence that I must be wrong. Did he utter a
witticism, I was sure to laugh ; aud if he looked
grave, though nobody could tell why, it was mine to
groan. Iiy thus conforming myself to his humour, I
flattered myself I was making some progsess in his
good graces, btit I was .$oon undeceived. A man
seldom cures much for that which it costs hirn nothing
to procure. Cermanicus found me a troubletome
visiter, or whether he was really displeased with
something 1 had unwittingly said or done, certain it
is, that wlieu I one day met him, in company with
persons of apparent figure, he had lost all recolle-etion
of my features. I called upon him, but Cermanicus
was not at home. Again aud again I gav e a hesita
ting knock at tbe great man's door all was to no
purpose, lie was still not at home. The tly mea
ning, however, which was couched in the sneer of
the servant, the last time, that half ashamed of my
errand, I made my inquiries at his house, convinced
me of what I ought to have known before that Cer
manicus was at home to all the world save me. 1 be
lieve, with all my sneering humility, 1 am a confounded
proud fellow at bottom ; my rage, at this discovery,
therefore, may be better conceived than described.
fen thousand curses did 1 imprecate on the foolish
vanity which led me to solicit the friendship of my
Miperior, and again and again did 1 vow down eternal
Vciipuiceoii my head, if I ever mi)je.-iioiiaeKCi?iid!xL
hasju court the acquaintance of man. To this res
olution 1 oelievcrlahali ever adhere If T-fm desti
ned to make any progress in the world, it will be by
rib own individual exertions. As I elbow my way
turough tho exovvded vale of life, 1 will uevbr, in any
they frame our laws ; sit in our Councils, are our
Judges, our Justices, our I're idenld, our Coventors,
Selectmen, our Oversee is ; they creep into every
ter.t of power from the lowest giade till they reach
(h! last goal of their ambition in the highest ollice in
the gift of the pet pie. The question now arises,
from ehal .-ourc 1 do they derive the immense power?
is it from the superior" talents of the profession, from
superior worth or superior wealth? We think not.
This profession is undoubtedly the most intelligent
portion of tn.: community ;and from this source may
be traced all its influence over society in general.
Divines and 1'hysiciaiu are equally intelligent; but
their avocations do not lead them to mingle so much
in the business, the upror.r e nd excitement of tbe
world ; and as they aie less ;ctivc they consequent
ly have less intluence. Law-yen are not only the
most intelligent pari of the community-, who mingle
in the affairs of the world ; but they are. far the most
acti.e ; exer. themselves the moat in erdtr to obtain
the most inilucnce.
'Mechanics might have this same power, yea, much
more; for the feelings and the majority of the world
arc on their side; they have an interest too in prop
ping up themselves, in building up their own pro
fessions ; and now if they had, a disposition to exert
their power and acquire information in order to di
rect their energies aright, they Would have within
themselves, an irresistable influence over the, desti
nies of others. Mechanics do not hold that rank in
society they might hold if they pleased, aud which
they are entitled to hold by the good they do to man
kind. Hut make every mechanic feci tli,e necessity
of cultivating his mind and drawing out. his hidden
tre asurcs ; make him feel thai his mental power over
so(aty.fM
of information he acquires ; ht him believe that tact
artd"s1riff,"a-1l ' character are a?
necessary to him as a knowledge of his tools, and ) on
give that mechanic his due proportion f ikflunfce
