(col.,) of which litr. D. J. Sanders is

forenoon with great acceptance.' ;
On introducing his lecture in the af
ttrnoon, Mr. . Paterson criticised some
what severely several prominent white
ministers and gentlemen on account
of the "discourteous and ; inhospitable
manner in which they had received
him, a minister and a strscger in a
strange land." T .' "
I do not purpooe to dwell upon this
aspect of the casybut I wish Co draw
.attention tm :
THE BtQUEL ':
which U) my frind was a jmost outrage
ous proceeding. - I j ' t
At the Miggeatlon of tlie proprietoi'
ot Brooklyn Hall, who by the way,
treated Mr. Paterson with great kind
ness acd consideration, he arranged to
lecture in that Hall on Thursday night
and proposed to charge i small admis
sion fee so as to meet the expenses..
Having been informed that Solicitor
Moore, Justice Gardner, Tony Ashe,
,& Cot, were contemplating a raid. on
him for lecturing for reward without
paying iaxes. Mr. P. declined to take
any money at the door as he ' was ad
vised! to jo, aud relied upon a collee
tion lo raise money to meet'the neces
sary expense?. The audience was small
and Mr. P. was a dollar short on ac
count of expenses. . -'
The It ciure over, Mr. P. went lo his
hotel and retired for the Liijtit, doubt
less with a good conscience.! "
. Persons usually dream of what occu
pies them most wbeii : awake, hence, it
may be well supposed that if he dream
ed at -all, it was of 'some ideal being
who was. devoting his life tot the intel
lectual, and moral fgogd of others,
; Bui what must have been his aston
ishment when aroused !oni Lis slum
bers 'ere the rays of thesutfl bad scat
tered the grey dawn of the morning, by
a constable and summoned to appear
b4ore Justice Gardner io--answer the
charge of lecturing for reward without'
having paid taxes. 1
When the hour for thj trial arrived,
at the hUggcstion of Rev. Mr. Sanders,
who met Mr. Paterson in Scotland
years ngo,-the latter asked a contbu-
ance of the case until ; 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, jc was continued, and; he
was required to give a bond of 50 for
his appearauee, whiol he did, MrS.
going on his bond. ;
In a half-hour afterwards,
Justice
Gardner informed Mr. Patcrson that
he wou'd suspend, judgment on she
pajmnt i-f one penny and .costs,
which mounted td $3 4G. Mr. P. be
iBg iu uo cbditioii to contt l-d lor his
rights iu t be circumstances, a1 lowed
tbis money to be extorted from him by
this so-called Justice of the Peace, and
left the city by. the' next (rain.
Now Mr. Editor, I have no personal
.interest in tbis matter, but I do think
thaiahch high-hand ;d a nd ou t rageotrs
proceedings as thess cannot be .con
demned too seVere) V
The fact is, the kind of lectures that
Mr. Paterson were giving are exempted
from taxation In North Caroiina. But
sir, the cormorants of magistrates now
must have subsistence, even if a travel
ing missionary is to be hufiud down
and money extorted from him.
So a fiUe charge is, trumped up and
a negro mean enough to make affidavit
1 found, certain men can always find
tome low fellow to do a job like this
who ought to be in the penitentiary,)
and an innocent man is hauled before
a magistrate. The accused is told tha t
he has violated the lew; that if the
case, is tried he may expect it to be de
cided against him, and that it it does
go against him he will have to pay the
taxes (10 00) and the coats (3 45,) of
take an appeal, in which case h would
be required to remain 'here in custody
until the April term of tne Criminal
Court. But says the Justice; (?) before
the hour for trial arrives, ii you will
pay me one penny and the costs I will
suspended judgment. The poor man
considers for a moment and concludes,
as the Justice (?) knows he wUl. that i
is best to allow thb extortion and thus
get rid of thie bad lot, o he pays the
Mr. Editor, I fear that I may burden
your space I write aunpiy mai yoa
and your many readers may understand
the facta la the case.
With these facta before yon, I am
sure that your tense of justice will lead
you to condemn the treatment of Mr.
Paterson by the civil authentic, and
free the Post from the charge made by
the CUwwm iCVwe (New Cera)
that the Wilmington papers could nei
