One of those who left him to work on another estate, said to him, "Massa, whenever you want anybody to help you, send to me, and I'll come.

It makes no odds when it is--I'll be ready at any time--day or night." Mr.C.declared himself thoroughly convinced of the propriety of immediate emancipation; though he was once a violent opposer of abolition.

He said, that if he had the power, be would emancipate every apprentice on his estate to-morrow.

As we were in the sugar-house examining the quality of the sugar, Mr.C.
turned to one of us, and putting his hand on a hogshead, said, "You do not raise this article in your state, (Kentucky,) I believe." On being answered in the negative, he continued, "Well, we will excuse you, then, somewhat in your state--you can't treat your slaves so cruelly there.
_This, this_ is the dreadful thing! Wherever sugar is cultivated by slaves, there is extreme suffering." Mr.Applewhitte said emphatically, that there was no danger in entire emancipation.

He was the proprietor of more than a hundred apprentices and he would like to see them all free at once.
During a long sitting at the dinner table, emancipation was the topic, and we were gratified with the perfect unanimity of sentiment among these planters.
