Our Southern friends are really too hard upon the Slatters and the Screws. As well might we at the North turn up our noses at our butchers and sneer at our bakers.

Benjamin Screws (search for this): chapter 5
Mr. Benjamin Screws. A friend has sent us the business card of a gentleman in New Orleans. It is not the custom of this newspaper to advertise gratuitously, but in this case we so far depart from our rule as to give this pleasing announcement without expense to Mr. Benjamin Screws. It is as follows: Benjamin Screws, NegrMr. Benjamin Screws. It is as follows: Benjamin Screws, Negro Broker, will keep constantly on hand field-hands, House-servants, carpenters and blacksmiths. office--No. 159 Gravier Street. New Orleans. Now we do not intend to speak harshly of the enterprising Screws, as some of our more ardent brethren might do. We know it to be the custom of negro-owners to snub and to cut the negromy, and if without it this blessed Union cannot possibly be preserved, we do not see but that somebody must deal in it, and why should not that somebody be Mr. Benjamin Screws as well as another? Our Southern friends are really too hard upon the Slatters and the Screws. As well might we at the North turn up our noses at our bu

rginia, and I do not much like the F. F. V. Here now is an opening for Screws. He can go into the wife-selling business. But, alas! upon further reflection, we remember that he is in it already; nor has it enhanced his respectability a morsel. Well, Screws must struggle on as well as he can; and since he cannot be respectable, must content himself with getting rich, which, no doubt, he will do, unless several of his most valuable parcels should abscond, or a few of his choice samples die of grief or fever. Meanwhile, we have endeavored to give him a hoist in the world, for which we have no doubt he will be duly grateful. But he need not trouble himself to write us a letter of thanks. It always gives us pleasure to assist the meritorious. We believe that very few of our subscribers deal in the staple commodity of Screws, but if any of them want to buy a man or a woman, we advise them to call at No. 159 Gravier street New Orleans before purchasing elsewhere.
