For Frederick Douglass' Paper.

PHILADELPHIA, Penn.,

April 25th., 1857.

Mr. EDITOR:—I must tell you of an insult offered to the colored people of Philadelphia, by a few of our time serving fellow citizens, who seem never satisfied, unless when doing something to lower us in the scale of humanity. Such persons ought to be rebuked and exposed. The facts are these: There is a Sabbath School for colored children kept in the new Masonic Hall, on Eleventh street. It is taught by white teachers.

Sabbath there was an anniversary at the church to which these white teachers belong. This was an occasion for display, and these teachers well improved it. They took there colored pupils, parents and children, dressed in their Sunday best, to St. Andrew's Church and thrust [illegible] for exhibition into the "negro pews," [illegible] gazed at as a proscribed part of the congregation. I am not opposed to our getting information from any source, but I am opposed to submitting to degradation without a protest.

I am very sorry that your Philadelphia correspondent and some of our old school, have [illegible] loggerheads. We cannot spare time for [illegible] quarrels in times* like these.

Respectfully yours,

SENIOR

* There is a time for all things, and [illegible] to expose fraud and rebuke impudence when fraud and impudence are perpetrated. The facts in the case, do not warrant [illegible] proof from SENIOR.—Ed.
