As a proof of the fear in which negroes stand of their masters, Douglass thus speaks or the blacks : •"fliey suppress the troth rather than take the consequences of telling it, and in so doing prove theniselve's a part or t h e human family. If they have anything to say of their masters,• it is generally in their master'stower, Vspecially when speaking to an untried man. I have been frequently asked, urinal a slave, if 1 had a kind master, and do nut remember ever to have given a negative answer; nor did I, in pursuing this course, consider myself as utter ing what was absolutely', filial!: for I always measured the kindness of my master by the standard set up among slaveholders around us, Moreover, slaves are like other people, awl imbibe prejudices quite common to others. They think their own better than that of others. Many, under the influence or this . prejudice. think their own masters are better than the Masters of other slaves ; and this, too, in some eases when the very reverse Is true. Indeed, it is not uneoinintiit Gtr slaves even to fall out and quarrel among themselves about the rela tive goodness of their masters, each CO Men p ing or the superior goodness of his own over that of the others. Al the very same time, they mutually execrate their masters when viewed separately. It was so on our planta tion. When Colonel .I.loyd's slaves met the slaves or Jacob irp,oo, they seldom parted without a quarrel about their masters; Colonel Lloyd's slaves contending that he was th e richest, and Mr. Jepson's slaves that he tarns the smartest. and most of a limn. Colonel Lloyd's slaves would boast his ability to buy and sell Jacob Jepson. Mr. Jepson's slaves would boast his ability to whip COlOnel These quarrels would almost always end m a ! light between the parties, and those that whipped were suppose,' to have gained the point at iSSIIO. They Seemed to lhiak that the greatness a their masters was transferable to thetn , elves. It WaS considered as being bad enough to be a slave ; but to be a poor man's !. slave was deemed a disgrace indeed. Mr. Gore, Colonel Lloyd's overseer, was proud, ambitions, and persevering. Ile was artful, cruel, and obdurate. Ile was just the man for such a place, and it was just the place tar such a 110111. It afforded scope for the full exercise of all his pourers, and he seemed to be perfectly at home in it. He was due of those who could torture the slightest look, word. or gesture, on the part or the slave, into Mum dence, and would treat it accordingly. There must be no answering back to him ; no expia tion was allowed a slave, showing himself' to have been wroughilly accused' -- Mr:Ah7il ,. acted bully up 0, the maxim hid .larva by slaveholders,—" It is better that a dozen slaves . salter under the lash. than that the overseer should he convicted, in the presence of the slaves, of having been at fault' . No matter hour innocent a slave might be—it availed him nothing. when necused by .Mr. Gore of any misrlemeanor. To he accused Was to be con victed, and to be convicted was to be pun ished ; the one always following the other ith immutable certainty. To escape punish. .meta was to escape:wefts:alma ; and few slaves had the fortune to do either, under the over ' seership of mr. (lore. His savage barbarity Was equalled only by the consummate coolness with which he cons. milted the grossest and most savage deeds upon the slaves under his charge. ' Mr. Gore once undertook to whip rote of Colonel Lloyd's slaves, by the MUM . of Demhy. He had given Demhy but a few stripes, wh e n, to get rid of the scourging, he ran :0111 plunged himsellinto a creek, and stood there at the depth of his shoulders, refusing to come out. ;me told him that he would 'give him three calls. and that if he did not come out at the third call he would shoot hint.

Every opportunity I got, I need to read this hook. Among 'touch of other interesting mtter, I found in it a dia logue between a master and his slave. The sl,•tve wits represented ❑s having run away from his ina,ter three times. The dialogue represented fin' outN'eNation which took place lit'lNV( . ll 111(111, whet the shave was retaken the third time. in this elialogme, the whole ' argument in behalf •of slavery was. brought foward by the master, all of which was tlis• pos.:d of by- the slave.

''lo the saute book. I met With One Of She ridan's mighty speeches on and in behalf or CatMille emancipation. were .choice documents to ow. I road them over and over again with unabated interest. They 'gave tongue' to interesting thoughts of my own soul, which had rro goontly flashed through toy till 11,1, and died away f()l'' want ()I• utter ance. The moral which I gained from the dialogue 10110 the power of truth over the con science of even a slave-holder.

I could regard them in no other light than :1 band of sucees-ful robbers, who hat tell their homes. and golly to Africa, and stolen ns one home... and in a strange land reduced us to slavery. I loathed them as being the meanest as well as the most wicked if men. As I read and con templated t h e subject, behold, that very dis contentment Which Master !high had pre dicted would follow my learning to read had already come, to torment and sting my soul to unuterable anguish. As I writhed under it, I would at times feel that learning to 11 ad had In en it curse rather than a blessing. It had given nu' a view of toy wretched condi tion without the remedy. It opened my eyes to the horrible pit, but to no ladder upon which to get out. In moments of agony, I envied my fellow• Slaves for their stupidity. I have Mom wished myselt a beast, 1 pre ferred the condition of the meanest reptile to my own. Any thing, no matter what, to get rid of thinking! It was this everlasting thinking of my condition that tormented uw. There wll,lllO getting.rid (d . it. It was press ed upon me by every object within sight of hearing, animate or inanimate. The silver room of freedom had roused my soul to eter nal wakefulness.. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, an d seen in every thing. It was ever present to torment Ito with a sense of my wretched condition. I saw' nothing with out,} Itearim , it, and felt nothing without see• ing it. It Cooked fruit every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed 'in every wind, and moved In every storm.. I often found myself regretting . my own ex istence, and wished myself dead ; and bin for the hope of being free, I have no doubt lan that I should have killed myself, or done something for which 1 should have been !silted. While in this state of mind, I WIN eager to hear any one speak of slavery. I tills a ready listener. I left Baltimore, and went to live with }taster Thomas Auld, at St. Michael's, in March. IN3:. 'there were four slaves ()I' us in the kitchen—my sister Eliza, my aunt Pris cilla, Henry, and myself; and we were al lowed less than half (of It bushel or cornmwal per week, and very little else, either in the shape or Illent or vegetables. It. WllO not enough for 110 to subsist upon. We were tlwrefore reduced to the wretched necessity of liVing at the expense of our neighbors. 'This we did by In in , and stealing, Whichever came handy in the time ofneed, the one being considered as legitimate as Ow other. A great many tittles Jam. we, poor creatures, been nearly peiishing hunger, when food, 111 lay mouldering in the sale and smoke-house, and- our pious mistress was aware of the fact ; mud yet that mistress and her husband would kneel every morning, and pray that God would bless them in basket and store ! While I lived with my master in St. Mich• eel's, there was a white young man, it Mr. Wilson, who proposed to keep a Sabbath school for the instruction of such slaves as might be disposed lit learn to read the New Testament. We met MU three times, when \I r. West and 3lr. both 'ChM. leallerS, With many others, came upon us with sticks and other missiles, drove us off, and for bade us to meet again. Thus ended our little Sabbath-school in the pious town of SC. Michael's. I have said my master found religious sanction for his cruelty. As an example, I will state one of many facts going to prove the charge. I have seen him tie up a Inure young woman, and whip. her with tt heavy cowskin upon her naked shoulders, causing the warm red blood te (hip ; and In justifica tion of the bloody deed, he would quote this Massage of Scripture—" Ho that knoweth his and (tooth It not, shall be beaten in a thick wood, in a place new to me. cart was upset and shattered, my oxen were entangled among the young trees, and there was none to help me.

I stopped my oxen to open the gale; and just as I did so, before I could get hold of my ox-rope, the oxen again started, rushed through the gale, catching it between the wheel and the body of the cart, tearing it to pieces, and coining within a few inches •of crushing me against the gate•post. Thus twice, in one snort day, I escaped death by the merest chance, Ou my return, I told Mr. Covey what had happened. Ile ordered me to return to the woods again immediately. did no, and he hollowed on after me. Just as 1 got into the woods, lie came up and told me to stop my cart, and that he would teach me how to trifle away my time, and break gates.

Work, work, work was scarcely more' the order of the day than of the night. The longest days were too short flor him, and the shortest nights too long for hint. I was some what unmanageable when I first went there, hut a few months of this discipline tamed me. Mr. Covey succeeded in breaking me. I was broken in body, soul, and spirit. My natural elast:cdy was crushed,my intellect languished, the disposition to read departed, the cheerful spark that lingered about Illy eye died ; the dark night of slavery closed in upon me ; and behold a man transforined into ft brute. - Sunday was my only leisure time.

NO. 17 robed in purest white, so delightful to the eye of freemen, were to me so many shrouded; ghosts, to terrify and torment me with thoughts of my wretched condition. I have often - hi the sleep stillness of a summer's Sabbath, stood all alone upon the lofty banks of that noble bay, and traced, with saddened heart and tearful eye, the. countless number of Balls moving off to the mighty ocean. The Bight of these always' affected me powerfully. My thoughts would compel utterance ; and there, with no audlence but the Almighty, I would pour out my soul's complaint, in my rude way, with an apostrophe to the moving multi tude of skips You are loosed from your moorings, .and lire free ; I am fast in my chains, and airc a shave !

I had as well be killed running as die standing. Only think of it ; one hundred miles straight north, and I am free. Try it? Yes l'God helping me, I will. It cannot be that I shall live and die a slave. I will take to the water. This very bay shall yet bear me into freedom. The steamboats steered in a north-east course from North Point. I will do the same; and when I go to the head of the bay, I will turn any canoe adrift, and walk strait through Del aware into Pennsylvania.

It • may be that my misery in slavery will only i tic rease my happiness when I get free. There is a better slay coming." Thes I used to think, and thus, I used to speak to myself ; goaded almost to madness at sem moment, and the next reconciling myself to my wretched lot. I have already intinutted that my condition was much worse during the first six months of my stay at Mr. Covey's than in the last six. Toe circumstances leading to the change in r. Covey's course towards me form an epoch in my humble history. You have seen how a man was made a slave ; you shall see how a slave was made a man. On one of the hottest slays of the month of August, 1833, Bill Smith, William Hughes, a slave named Eli, and my self, were engaged in fanning wheat. Hughes was clearing the fanned wheat from before the tan. The work was simple, requiring strength rather than intellect ; yet, to one entirely un used to such work, It cattle very hard. About three o'clock of that 'day, I broke down ; my strength failed me; I was seized with a vio lent aching of the head, attended with extreme dizziness ; I trembled in every limb. . Finding what Was coming, I nerved myself up, feeling it would never do to stop work. I stood as , long as I could stagger to the hopper with grain. When I could stand no longer, I fell, and felt as if 'held down by some immense weight.. The fan of course stopped; every one had his own work to do ; and no one could do the work of the other, and have his own go on at the same time. Mr. Covey was at the house, about one hun dred yards from the treading-yard *here we were homing. On hearing the fan stop, he lett immediately, and came to the spot where we were. Ile hastily inquired what the mat ter was. 13111 answered that I was sick, and there was no sine to bring wheat to the fan. I had by this time crawled away under the side of the post and rail:fence by which the yard was enclosed, hoping to find relief by getting out of the sun. He then asked where I was. lie was told by one of the hands. He came to the spot, and after looking at mo awhile, asked mute what was the matter. I told him as well as I could, for I scarce had strength to speak. Ile then gave me a savage kick In. the side, and told me to get up. I tried to do so, lint fell Mick in the attempt. He gave me another Idea, and again told mo to rise. again tried, and succeeded-in gaining my feet ; ell, stooping to get the tub with which I was bill, stooping the lan, I again staggered and fell.' While down in this situation, Mr. Covey took up the hickory slat with which Hughes had been striking off the half-bushel measure, and with it gave me a heavy blow upon the head, making a large wound, and the blood ran freely ; and 'with this, again told me to get up. made no effort to comply, having now made up my mind to let him do his worst. In a short time after receiving this blow, my head grew better. Mr. Covey had now left me to my tide. At this momentll resolved, for the first time, to go to my master, enter a com plaint, and ask his protection. In order to do this, I must that afternoon walk seven miles ; and this, under the circumstances, was truly a severe undertaking. I was exceedingly feeble ; made so as much by the kicks and blows which I received, as by the severe fit of sick. mess to had been subjected. I, how. ever, watched my chance, while Covey was is ss s king in an opposite direction, and started for St... Michael's. 1 succeeded in getting a consid erable distance on my way to the woods, when Covey discovered me, and called after ins to (antic back, threatening what he would do if I lid o u t come. I disregarded boils his calls and Isis threats, and made my way to the woods ss fast sits my feeble state would allow ; and thinking I might be overhauled by him if I. kept the road, I walked through the woods, keeping far enough from the road to avoid de tection., and near enough to prevent losing my way. I had not gone far, befors my lit tle strength again failed me. I could go no bather. I fell down, and lay for a considera ble time. The blood was yet• oozing from the wound on my head. For a time I thought 1 should bleed to death ' and think now that I should have done Sr., b utt that the blood so matted my hair as to top the wound. Atter lying there abssut three-quarters of an hour, nerved myself up again, and started on my way. through bogs and briers, barefooted and bareheaded, tearing my feet sometimes at nearly every step ; and after a journey of about seven miles, occupying some five hours to perform it, I arrived at my master's store. Men presented at appearance enough to of-. feet any but an heart of iron. From the crown of my head to any feet,l was covered with blood. My hair was all clotted with slitst and Mood ; my shirt was stiff with blood. My legs mnd feet were torn in sun hey with briers and thorns, and Were also covered with blood. I suppose I looked like a man who had escaped a den of wild beasts and barely escaped them. In thisatate I appeared before my master, humbly en-• treating hint to interpose his authority for my protection. I told him all the circumstances as well as I could, and It seemed, as I spoke, at times to affect him. He would then walk the floor, and seek to justify Covey by saying he expected 1 deserved it. He asked me what I wanted. I told him to let me get a new ' home; that as sure as I lived with Mr. Covey again, I should live with butt to die with him; that Covey would surely kill mes--. 110 was in a fair way for it. Master Thomas ridiculed the idea that there was any•desiugr;f elf- Mr. Covey's killing me, end aaid that he know Mr. Covey; that ho was a good man :and that he could not think of taking ma ' from him ; that should he do so, he would lcise the Miele year's wages ; that I belonged to Mr: Covey for one year, and that I must go back to him, come what might; and • that I must not trouble him with any more stones, or that he would himself get hold of me. Altai threatening the thus, lie gave me-a very' large dose of salts, telling me that I might remain in St. Michael's that night, (it being .quite, late.) but that I must be off back to Mr. Co vey'a early in the morning ; and that if I did not, he would get hold of me, which meant that lie would whip me. I remained all night and according to, his orders, ,I started off to Covey's in the morning, (Saturday morning) worried in body and broken in spirit. I got no supper that night, or breakfast that morn ing. I reached Covey's about nine o'clock: and just as I was getting overthe fence that divided Mrs. Kemp's fields from ours, out ran Covey with his cowskin, to give me another whipping. Before he could reach me, I Bee. eeeded in getting to the cornfield ; and as the. corn was very high, it afforded mo the means of hiding. Ile seemed very angry, and searched for me a long time. My behavior was altogether unaccountable. He finally gave up the chase, thinking as I suppose, that as I meat come home for something to eat; he would give himself no farther,tmuble in look ing tier me. I spent that day mostly In the' woods, having the alternative before me,s—to go home and be whipped to death, - or stay In.. the woods and bp starved to death. .44LR.N . TOIP N.
