READ ... GET book READ I may have before said that the
citizens of the New Granada Republic had a strong prejudice
against all Americans. It is not difficult to assign a cause for
this. In the first place, many of the negroes, fugitive from the
Southern States, had sought refuge in this and the other
States of Central America, where every profession was open
to them [Pg 51]and as they were generally superior
men—evinced perhaps by their hatred of their old
condition and their successful flight—they soon rose to
positions of eminence in New Granada. In the priesthood, in
the army, in all municipal offices, the self-liberated negroes
were invariably found in the foremost rank and the people, for
some reason—perhaps because they recognised in them
superior talents for administration—always respected
them more than, and preferred them to, their native rulers. So
that, influenced naturally by these freed slaves, who bore
themselves before their old masters bravely and like men, the
New Granada people were strongly prejudiced against the
Americans. And in the second and third places, they feared
their quarrelsome, bullying habits—be it remembered
that the crowds to California were of the lowest sorts, many of
whom have since fertilised Cuban and Nicaraguan
soil—and dreaded their schemes for annexation. To such
an extent was this amusingly carried, that when the American
Railway Company took possession of Navy Bay, and
christened it Aspinwall, after the name of their Chairman, the
native authorities refused to recognise their right to name any
portion of the Republic, and pertinaciously returned all letters
directed to Aspinwall, with “no such place
known” marked upon them in the very spot for which
they were intended. And, in addition to this, the legal
authorities refused to compel any defendant to appear who
was described as of Aspinwall, and put every plaintiff out of
court who described himself as residing in that unrecognised
place.GET book READ Under these circumstances, my
readers can easily understand that when any Americans
crossed the Isthmus, [Pg 52]accompanied by their slaves, the
Cruces and Gorgona people were restlessly anxious to
whisper into their ears offers of freedom and hints how easy
escape would be. Nor were the authorities at all inclined to aid
in the recapture of a runaway slave. So that, as it was
necessary for the losers to go on with the crowd, the fugitive
invariably escaped. It is one of the maxims of the New
Granada constitution—as it is, I believe, of the
English—that on a slave touching its soil his chains fall
from him. Rather than irritate so dangerous a neighbour as
America, this rule was rarely supported but I remember the
following instance of its successful application.GET book
READ A young American woman, whose character can be
best described by the word “vicious,” fell ill at
Gorgona, and was left behind by her companions under the
charge of a young negro, her slave, whom she treated most
inhumanly, as was evinced by the poor girl’s frequent
screams when under the lash. One night her cries were so
distressing, that Gorgona could stand it no longer, but broke
into the house and found the chattel bound hand and foot,
naked, and being severely lashed. Despite the threats and
astonishment of the mistress, they were both carried off on the
following morning, before the alcalde, himself a man of colour,
and of a very humane disposition. When the particulars of the
case were laid before him, he became strongly excited, and
called upon the woman to offer an explanation of her cruelty.
She treated it with the coolest unconcern—“The
girl was her property, worth so many dollars, and a child at
New Orleans had misbehaved herself, and been properly
corrected. The alcalde must be drunk or a fool, or both
together, to interfere between an American and her [Pg
53]property.” ...GET book
