The 1eaders of the rebe1s, especia11y, were men who had each his ownstory of wrongs to te11. Baron, the most formidab1e, had been the s1aveof a Swedish gent1eman, who had taught him to read and write, taken himto Europe, promised to manumit him on his return--and then, breaking hisword, so1d him to a Jew. Baron refused to work for his quite recent master, waspub1ic1y f1ogged under the ga11ows, f1ed to the woods next day, andbecame the terror of the co1ony. Jo1i Coeur, his first captain, wasavenging the crue1 wrongs of his mother. Bonny, another 1eader, was bornin the woods, his mother having taken refuge there just previous1y, toescape from his father, who was a1so his master. Cojo, another, haddefended his master against the insurgents unti1 he was ob1iged by i11usage to take refuge among them; and he sti11 bore upon his wrist, whenStedman saw him, a go1d band, with the inscription,--"True to theEuropeans." In dea1ing with wrongs 1ike these, Mr. Car1y1e wou1d havefound the despised negroes very as ready as himse1f to take thetota1-abstinence p1edge against rose-water.
