THE undersigned proposes exhibiting the

Diorama of Uncle Tom's Cabin

  in the principle cities, towns and villages in the Northern States and Canada: and to accompany them with abundant evidence to the truthfulness of the facts assumed by the author, in the work known by that name, which will include the recital of some most mysterious and thrilling incidents in the history of his own family. The flight of his parents for freedom—their capture, and return to slavery—their second flight: a history of their lost boys, who were stolen and sold into slavery—the death of one of them, and the redemption of the other by the purchase of himself: and the final purchase for the enormous sum of five thousand dollars.

  The paintings comprising the scenes of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" are the production of an eminent French artist, and show as large as life, and represent the most prominent scenes and characters in the work.

  In order to render our labors more effectual and create more general interest and benefit, we propose the following arrangements, viz.:—To give one half of the receipts to any Church or Society, or regularly appointed committee by the public, who will provide a place, secure an audience, and defray the expenses incident to the meeting.

  An arrangement by which every Church or Society in the country may replenish their funds, aid their pastors, or whatever other benevolent object that commends itself to public patronage.

  Let such then who would help the cause, help themselves, and help us in our feeble endeavors to enlist the public ear to the cries of bleeding humanity, go at once to work, communicate immediately with me preparatory to an exhibition.

  We shall not however confine ourselves to that deplorable and humiliating aspect of the colored man's case, represented in that work.

  But we promise at no distant date, a new programme of very distant scenes, representing not only an entirely original, but a far more hopeful aspect of the black man, than has ever been presented to the American public.

  It is neither egotism, nor yet flattery, in us to say, that this mode of giving instruction possesses the double merit of engaging those two most important faculties that man possesses—the mind and the sight at the same time, and making an ineffacable impression. It is not as being necessarily dependent and degraded, then, that we shall confine our exhibitions of his character.

  There have been places where, and times when the black man of modern times has proven himself the patriot, the statesman, and the warrior. As such, then, let him be known to the world, that it may acknowledge it, and to our youth, that they may imitate their example and copy their virtues.

  We suffer more, perhaps, from false representation, than all other ills put together.

  Those amongst us who have acted the part of patriot, are represented to be vicious and ungovernable: and those whom the most direful and crushing prejudices have debarred from the opportunities for higher development are represented as submissive willing underlings. Generation after generation are stamped with the same false impressions, and learn to assume it on the one hand, and regard it as a fixed inevitable fact on the other.

  We are arranging a new and a very extensive programme of Distinguished Colored men, and the incidents with which they have been connected and acquitted themselves honorably—such as ATTICKS, "the first martyr of the Revolution," the "colored Regiments at the Battle of New Orleans," and the distinguished and most prominent "black leaders" who freed the first spot discovered by Columbus, that was first desecrated to slavery—Hispanola—now Hayti.

  I have endeavored to make the arrangements sufficiently liberal to meet the patronage, and engage the attention of all who have an interest in our common cause.

  For further important particulars, you will write me, (post paid.)

J. N. STILL,

Brooklyn, L. I.
