On the contrary, our reason, our judgment, our humanity approves the act; and we admire the courage and firmness with which he defends the "inalienable rights with which the God of Nature has endowed him." We regard him as a hero worthy of imitation; and we place his name in the same category with that of Madison Washington, who, on board the Creole, boldly maintained his God-given rights, against those inhuman pirates who were carrying him and his fellow-servants to a worse than savage slave-market." * * * * * ANOTHER SLAVE SUICIDE. "The slave of a farmer in an adjoining county, (Jefferson,) having been jumped upon and stamped by his master, _with spurs on_, so as to cruelly lacerate his face as well as his body, he was found, next morning, in an adjacent pond or stream of water--having tied a stone to his own neck, (as it is said,) and plunged in, for the successful purpose of drowning himself, under the feelings of desperation caused by the fiendish treatment of his master!"--_Balt.

Mercer._
