Ytvay, May 4, 132. Frvm the IVtstern Luminary.
In 1806, A. E. M. who had been horn and
educated in Viigiriia, settled in one of ihe fron-
lir counties of Kentucky. His father held
slaves; and he had been always ueil to the
practice of associating with lerrfa Slave, the true Virginia acceptation. Mr. Bl. put chased a ne gro man to assist (or rather attend to bis little farm) for he was a Lawyer by profession, ami knew Very little about farming. And sometime about the last of July, the negro was directed by his master, to take his hue, and go ihiongb the cornfield , and cut down the rank weeds and luturant sprout, that had icrown up there. Jack took his hoe and went to hi work; for he was really an excellent slate. Some days at ler, his inabter taking a ramble through the I'ornfield, to see if the roating ears were not lit lo use, accidentally comes across Jac!;. uoi engaged in calling weed?, butgilltn at kit ejs!
between tbe extended roots of n large tnmp wilh his head leaning on the top of the slump, and fast asleep- The day was very hot. and Jack had selected a slump, the tall sprouts of
which lorroed a complete protection from the scorching ray? of meridian sun; where he wag enjoying Nature's granij restorative, happy as &
prince. His master at first felt provoked, and
concluded that he would acnlv one of ihp
i , j - - - sprouts that formed Jack's plea?;nt arbour, to a very different service. But as he had never befoie had occasion to even reprove Jack, he hesitated, and ujion second thought concluded that as he appeared to be quite happy, it would be ungenerous to interrupt his enjoyment He therefore took a seat on another slump, a few leet from ihe negro, and fell into a train of re
flections on the relation? between Master and
Slave. This eneaeed him for an hour or niore.
le then got up, and returned to the house, leav
ing Jack lo his repose. His wife inquired how
Jack made progress in cutting weeds. He told his wife the circumstance of finding Jack asleep, and that he had left him happy as he found him. She expressed some surprise, that ht had not
at least awoke him, and set him to his work.
Ie then gave his wife the reasons for his (as
she thought) extraordinary conduct. l was at first disposed,' said he, to pull effone of the
tall sprouts that formed Jack's pleasant s-h..de, and give him a good whipping. I then conclu
ded to sit down and rest myself, and let Jack indulge in his repose. While sitting musing on
hi9 happy countenance, 1 fell into a train of reflections on the subiect of Mmster and
sr u j. personified in Jack and myself, still feeling strongly inclined to flog Jack when ha awoke.
While causing on the subject, the rule laid down by the Saviour, occurred to tuy mind. do unto all men,' &c. J was obliged to decide that t
would not like to be interrupted in so happy a sleep, by the application of a sprout; and so 1 determined not to whip Jack. My next reflec
tion was, how 1 came by the right to chastise my fellow man, for indulging in the embrace f balmy tepose. Lvttleton, Coke. Blackstone, were called in to aid ay enquiry. None of my law authorities established my right; they all gave me power to chastise my slave, but f was searching for the right to do so. 1 found that my law authorities would punish me for
whipping my lellow man wb was fiec: but tnv
slave I might chastise at pleasure. Whj? Because he was my slave. My next enquiry was
how did Jack become deprived of his freedom. Oh! he was born a slave: that i hi mmtmp
was a slave when he was born. And here tuv law authorities left me. Whn t rnil.r."l
had read and always admired the DrinciDlesof
our Government, as develoued m nm An dura
tion of Independance, and the first BararraDh
of that noble instrument starad rat flat i' the
face: 'AH suen are born fr r.d ran.l f

pist to decide against it. and how caa yea who profess. the Christian Religion help deciding against Slavery, when the golden rule of the Saviour so expresily forbids it? From this dey Jack is free.' This man was then disciple of Tom Paioe, his wife a member f the Baptist church. Th seifiel is short. Jack was ioformed by bis mistress of the whole transaction. He was greatly mortified at his own bad conduct; bat he had a uobleoesa of miad that rm;ld not be outdone ia

his master, but determined never to go to sleep at his work again- He lived in the family about two years, and died. His master, is two
