Since these sheets have been put to press, it affords him, who has been
engaged in their preparation, much gratification to be able to correct
one mistake, as it places the fidelity of the slave who first gave the
intelligence of the intended insurrection, on much higher ground. On
conferring with his master and the free man of colour, whose advice he
sought, it appears that the slave in question communicated the
conversation at the Market to his young master, before he consulted his
friend, (the free man of colour,) and that the advice of the latter was
that as “his young master was a youth, that it would be best for him
_immediately, without delay_, to tell his mistress, that his master
might receive the information the instant he came to town.” _Vide_ page
