in slavery nearly tho whole of that long peri
od, upon tho plantation of Mt. Thomas Fos
ter, of this county.—I am much gratified to
have been thu instrument of his emancipation
—although from his advanced ago (sixty-six
yenrs) ho can but possess merely a glimpse of
the blessings to which he was entitled from his
birth.
“ As I happen lo have a leisure half hour, I
will givo you a sketch of tho manner in which
his liberation has been brought about: you
may recollect,that I frequently suggested toliim,
that if ho would writo a letter to his country
men 1 would havo it conveyed to his own coun
try. I think it was early in thu spring of 1820,
that ho wrote his letter in my office ; which I
directed to tho care of our Consul General ut
'Tangier (Captain John Mullowny.) Thomas
B. Reed, Esq. ono of our Senators, took charge
of tho letter to Washington, from whence it
was sent by tho Department of State to its
destination, During last summor, I received
a letter from the Department of State, infor
ming mo that tho lotter had been forwarded,
and a translation of it returned, and I was re
quested to inquire on what terms Mr. Foster
would liberato Prince, to tho intent that ho
might bo returned to his own country. On ap
plying to Mr. F. ho agreed to givo him up
without any componsation,upon condition that
lie should not enjoy his liberty in this country.
I informed tho President of tho result of my
inquiry, and a few weeks ngo, received a lotter
from Mr. Clay, asking of me to complete tho
agency, and to send Prince on to Washington
City ; for which purpose 1 wns authorized to
draw for a sum of money, necessary to defray
the expenses of his journey und to clothe| hnu
if necessary. But tho poor old man, when
tho news was communicated to him thut he
was to be free and return to his country, whero
he is, wc have no doubt, a lawful king, (of a
ountry called Timbuo) hu looked at tho old
r.ompnmon of his slavery—’ho mother of nin»
children :—he could not agree to part with
her,—sho too—how could she part with him!
—«ho wished to follow him to the end of tho
world. What was to ho dono ? I had no au
thority to interfere as to her. and I felt almost
grieved that I hod taken u solitary step in tho
business, bcloiving that the separation of the
old couple would no doubt accelerate the death
of both.—However, it rejoices me to tell you,
Isabella is with Prince—they will both call
and see “ Miss Jane”—as the old man, you
recollect always callod you.
I applied again to Mr- Foster, who is n tru
ly amiable and worthy man ; ho could not find
in his heart to separate his old and faithful ser
vants. and for a very small sum, (compared to
the value of Isabella as a servant) ho agreed
to give her up.—So soon as his intentions
were known, l requested a young gentleman
of tho bar to head a subscription paper for
Prince, nsking for his friends to assist him to
purchase his wife. Two hundred dollars was
the sum required. In a few days he had a sur
plus of $93. Several gentlemen gave himSlO,
one gave him $15, many gave $5 and very few
less than $1.
“ Prince has also several certificates volun
tarily given to him of his uncommon good con
duct for twenty-four years. N. A Ware Esq.
has kindly undertaken to sco him safu to
Wnshington City. I expect he will remain
three or four days in Cincinnati, and as he will
call on you in all his finery, (I hare an elegant
Moorish dress made for him,) and perhaps at
tract some attention, 1 writo you this long his
tory, that you may bo enabled lo give somo
account of your distinguished visiter.
“ Prince is really an extraordinary man-
born to a kingdom—well educated, for ho now
writes Arabic in a most elegant style—brought
a slave into a foreign country, he has sustnirv
cd a character for honesty and integrity which
is almost beyond parallel; he has been faithful,
honest, humble, ond industrious : and although
he adheres strictly to the religion of hiscoumry,
