This mai> had a demand against McFadden of $1100, and claimed me as his property, by virtue of that demand. After keeping me four years, at the business of turnpiking, I was swapped off, with a Mr. Kerns, for another slave, “ Tom,” and set at work digging stumps—or as I term it, “stump-piking.” In a few months the parties reversed the bargain, and mvself and Aom reverted to our former owners: and in a little time I was sold or made over like a kind of “ heir-loom,” to John Claypoolc, and then to Perry Claypoole. The latter individual was a tobacco grower, and farmer. Unlike a large proportion of Slaveholders, this individual superintended his own plantation andiabored with his own hands. He had a girl named Cjarila, whom he required to work in the field with me, compelling us like cattle to draw the cultivating plow through the furrow. I could have borne it, myself, but it was hard xoork to pull the plow with a poor female yoke-fellow, for although my mas­ ter seemed to regard a female slave little better than a beast nature taught me to consider the impropriety of her treatment! and I could not endure it. Whatever men may think of us, we are not destitute of the feelings of men. In July, Claypooie told us, we must cultivate five hotheads of Tobacco for our summer’s work. Added to this, was the ordcFfor us to “get married,” according to Slavery—or, in other words, to enrich his plantation by a family of youn<r slaves. The alternative of this was, to be sold to a slave trader' who was then lu the vicinity making up a gang.for. a more southern raarkot. “ This information” I did not like,—more especially, as I had often been promised my freedom in a few years if I would work faithfully ; and I resolved,, whenever an opportunity should offer, and I could see my way clear to at­ tempt a shorter and mure certain route to freedom than to await the fulfilment of a Slaveholder's promise j for in rela­ tion to the emancipation of a slave, their promises are always forgotten before they get cold. And, if I could have any confidence in such promises, it would have inspired me with energy to almost any amount of labor, for I neyer desired any thing more ardently, nor was willing to makd so groat a sac­ rifice for any thing else as my liberty.” And I here bog leave OF ANDREW JACKSON. 9 to say, that although I have often heard northern people state that the slaves did “ not want their freedom,” yet I never saw one who would not endure twice what I passed through, and more, if they could but be sure of liberty at the last. It is the theme of almost every meeting among them, and one of the most happy events whenever one escapes. And it is a very rare thing that one slave ever becomes informer against his brother who intends to take the long walk. When one is ready thefrapowerSe Wb° r6main wil1 often helP him in every way in CHAPTER II. “After firmly resolving to runaway from my master,” the next thing was to learn where to go, and how to get away.
