Jtuence of Jla’verj > prom'fei in MlK

*• The influence of slavery on man
aera and morals is equally pernicious.—
The negro wenches in many inflanccs,
are nurses to their miftreffet children.
The infant babe, as soon as it is born,
is delivered to its black l nurfc, and per
haps fi-ldom or never tastes a drop ot its
mother’s milk. The children, by being
brought «p and constantly associating
with the negroes, too often imbibe their
low ideas, and vitiated manners and mo
rals, and contrast a negro'-,Jh kind of ac
cent and dialeft, which they often carry
with them through life.
** This unhappy influence between ma
iler and Have, is a perpetual cxcrcife of
the mod boisterous passions, the mod
unremitting dcfpotifm on the one part,
and degrading fubmilfions on the other. —
Our children fee this, and learn to imi
tate it; for man is an imitative animal.
This quality is the germ of all education
with him. From his cradle to his grave,
he is learning to do what he fees others
slo. If a parent could find no morivc
either in his philanthropy or his felf-love,
for restraining the intemperance of a paf
fton towards his flavc, it should always
be a fufficient one, that his child is pre
lent. Bur generally this is not fulHcient.
The parent florins, the child looks on,
matches the lineaments of wrath, puts on
♦he fame airs in the circle ot former Haves,
gives a loose to his worst ot paflions, and
thus nursed, educated, and daily cxer
•ifed in tyranny, cannot but be damped
by it, with odious peculiarities. The
man must be a prodigy who can retain his
manners and moral* undepraved by fuck
Uircumftances 1”
The rcfiduc of Mr. ]'s observations
may be found in page 207, ot the firft
volume of Wintcrbotham j and thould
be read by every owner of Haves.

ing ample ; he mull own he has not been
able to put this place :n a fituatioa to ac
commodate his boarders equal, either
with his own wilhes, or their expediti
ons. But by a persevering and Heady
attention to this objedi, he has so far ac
complilhed it, as to authorife a weli
grounded hope of giving fatisfafticn to
thofc who may hereafter favor him with
their company. To avoid, however, as
far as may be in his power, any disap
pointments or misrepresentations in re

of the buildings, as the nature and ex
tent of accommodation here, with the
