WE are just informed by letter from England, that Miss << Elizabeth Greenfield>> (alias “the Black Swan”) has been singing at the Stafford House, before a grand party of distinguished guests of the Duchess of Sutherland. With her usual true benevolence and kind-heartedness, her Grace, the Duchess, gave a concert for the express purpose of bringing Miss Greenfield forward. The accompaniments were played for Miss G. on the occasion by Sir George Smart. There seems to us to be nothing strange about this. English people and their aristocracy know nothing of colorphobia, which is, peculiarly, the disease of the United States. - The Duchess of Sutherland, doubtless, recognizes in Miss Greenfield rare musical genius. It matters not to her Grace, whether Miss Greenfield be white of black; she desired to obtain for her the patronage of those who have the moans of conferring on a deserving artiste, signal favors; and she, therefore, invites a large company to hear her. - On this matter the Rochester American truly says, “John Bull is not inconsistent.” We wish we could say the name of Brother Jonathan.

The Black Swan, alias Miss << Elizabeth Greenfield>> .
-------


How mean, bitter, and malignant is prejudice against color! It is the most brainless, brutal, and inconsistent thing of which we know anything. It can dine heartily on dishes prepared by colored hands? it can drink heartily from the glass filled by colored hands? It can ride languishingly behind horses driven by colored hands? It can snooze soundly under a razor guided by colored hands! Finally, it can go to Metropolitan Hall, and listen with delight to the enchanting strains of a black woman! if in all those relations there be conditions acknowledging the inferiority of black people to white. This brainless and contemptible creature, neither man nor beast caused the following particular notice to be placed on the placard, announcing the Concert of “THE BLACK SWAN” in Metropolitan Hall, New York:
“PARTICULAR NOTICE. - No colored person can be admitted, as there is no part of the house appropriated for them.”
We marvel that Miss Greenfield can allow herself to be treated with such palpable disrespect; for the insult is to her, not less than to her race.
She must have felt deep humiliation and depression while attempting to sing in the presence of an audience and under arrangements which had thus degraded and dishonored the people to which she belongs. - Oh! that she could be a woman as well as a songstress - brave and dauntless - resolved to fall or flourish with her outraged race - to scorn the mean propositions of the oppressor, and to refuse sternly to acquiesce in her own degradation. She is quite mistaken if she supposes that her success, as an artist depends upon her entire abandonment of self-respect. There are generous hearts enough in this country who, if she but lead the way, would extend to her the meed of praise and patronage commensurate with her merits. We warn her also, that this yielding, on her part, to the cowardly and contemptible exactions of the negro haters of this country may meet her in a distant land in a manner which she little imagines.

MADAME SALIKA
-----
BY J.A. NEWBY.

MR. EDITOR:- We have had as musical celebrities Miss << Elizabeth Greenfield>> better known as the “Black Swan,” and the justly celebrated musical prodigy Blind Tom, whose inimitable performances upon the piano has astonished the musical world. Imagine a pianist playing two distinct tunes and singing a song at the same time with a distinctness and accuracy of intonation which disarms criticism, and you have a perfect representation of Tom's marvelous musical talent. And now we have a veritable prima donna, of African descent, known by the name of Madame Selika, who appeared for the first time before a Philadelphia audience, at the Academy of Music on Thursday evening the 21st of November, in connection with the world renowned reader and elocutionist, James E. Murdoch. This lady being cast by Manager Pugh to sing her celebrated song entitled the “Stacato Polka” as an interlude between the readings, her appearance upon the stage, escorted by Mr. Thomas A. Beckett, her accompanist, was the signal for such a round of applause as rarely greets the most distinguished of European artists imported to this country. It was the first time in my life that I ever heard a staccato passage attempted by a colored vocalist, it is considered to be a very difficult articulation. She rendered it, however, in a very fine style, which brought the house down. She was encored and again appeared before the foot lights with a graceful how; but this did not satisfy her enthusiastic auditors, and in response to the call she sang one of the Gems of the Opera the title of which I was unable to learn. She was again encored, the result of which was a splendid rendition of the “Last Rose of Summer,” and then made her exit from the stage amid deafening applause from as highly an appreciative audience as ever attended the Academy of Music. Madame Selika has been emphatically endorsed by the Messers, Strakosch, the great musical empresario of the world, all for which we wish her a hearty God speed.

BOOKS RECEIVED.

"MUSIC AND SOME HIGHLY MUSICAL PEOPLE." BY JAMES M. TROTTER LEE AND SHEPHERD, Boston, Mass. Price $2.50.

The above work is got up in handsome style. It is a large size 12mo. of more than 500 pages, and may be divided into three parts. Part I embraces the first 282 pages, and is composed of 30 chapters; the first four of which are: Description of Music, The music of Nature, A Glance at the History of Music, and The Beauty, Power, and Uses of Music. These are followed by sixteen extended biographical sketches of our most famed singers and musicians, commencing with the late << Elizabeth Greenfield>> ("Black Swan") and ending with the Georgia Minstrels. Part II embraces 70 pages, in which under the head "Other Remarkable Musicians," brief reference is made to "a number of artists whose histories although not less important than those by which they are preceded, could not, owing to various causes, be placed in the first" portion of the work. Part III embraces 152 pages, and consists of original music. In his preface to this part Mr. Trotter gives the information that it is inserted to "illustrate the ability of quite a number of them, (and relatively that of their race) to originate and scientifically arrange good music." Referring to this Part III, a musical adapt of our acquaintance says:

"My preconceived notions and opinions of the musical abilities and knowledge of colored people have undergone a sudden change when looking over the intricate and masterly musical compositions of colored persons given in Trotter's Book."

Our own opinion of this work is, that it is decidedly one of the best ever given the public by a colored man. Industry, judgment, and taste appear on almost every page, while the mechanical presentation, as we have intimated, is everything that one could wish. The illustrations with which it may be said to abound, are most excellent. We can but thank Mr. Trotter for the good services rendered the common causes.

OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

For Frederick Douglass' Paper.

FROM OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENT.


Went to hear Miss Greenfield last night, reluctantly, it is true, for music, and spring, and the beautiful awaken memories that crown my soul with thorns.

There is one thing our people must learn, and the victory is won: we must learn to love, respect and glory in our Negro nature! Why are we clothed in black skins unless it be to ennoble God Almighty's black man? And how can we do this while we suffer the atmosphere of prejudice to penetrate our souls and shape our thoughts?
Since the world began, no nobler, fuller, complete man has been thrown upon its stage than the Negro? We are only beginning to contribute our share to he common progress, and see with what tropical exuberance we fling it down. In the world of Art we have Dumas, and << Elizabeth Greenfield>> . Dumas has not only written more than Walter Scott, but he has written in the “Trois Monsquitaires” and “Twenty Years after,” the most perfect fiction, fullest of original and perfect creations which has yet been published. He is not merely a first class original genius, but he is a genius of new proportions, and unheard of fecundity of imagination: his thoughts, creations and ideas pour out like the floods of a clear, grand inexhaustible river; he is perfectly exuberant, and as we shall show from an able criticism, in a leading London Scientific journal, his grandest peculiarities, are purely Negroid; the cruels of European criticism are too small for the accurate measurement of his proportions.
And here the bills announced that the BLACK SWAN, “in a song written expressly for her, by Stephen Glover of London, reaches Thirty-one clear notes in the Scale a greater compass of voice than any other mortal has ever reached.” There we have Negro exuberance again! Tropical nature vindicated in this child of the sun, in her department of Art, in like manner as in dumas in his department of Art. I cannot analyze, I can only describe the Swan and her genius. A lady of fine musical taste and accomplishments, who sat near me, burst into tears when the Swan had finished “Sweet Home.” And, on my afterward asking her how does Miss Greenfield compare with Abby Hutchinson, said, “infidelity superior.” “How with Jenny Lind?” She answered, “Her sister, and with like culture she would far excel.” Moreover, there was Saturday night, there were, at the same hour, he highest musical attractions at Niblos' and the Academy of Music, and yet there were upwards of two thousand persons in the Tabernacle, of whom at least six hundred were colored! Our people paid noble tribute to this their sister Queen of Song.
True Art is a leveler, and thoroughly isocratic: never was the Tabernacle so thoroughly speckled with mixed complexions; blind gentlemen sat side and side with dark ladies, and vice versa: my old friends Cosmopolite, Ethiop and Observer, each had the luck to sit like thorns between blushing rose. Observer sat perfectly still: Cosmopolite did ring out “bravo,” at his Indian friends; but, Ethiop was entirely carried away by the Swan, and in the song of “Coming thro' the Rye,” at a particular note which brought down the House, your Brooklyn Correspondent (Ethiop, to wit:) snatched an opera glass for the lady next him, raised it to his lips and shouted “Hurrah!”

Miss Greenfield occupies a position of marked significance. Bending not one whit to the requirements of American Prejudice, never shrinking for an instant under the cover of an Indian or a Morrish descent, she stands forth simple and pure a black woman. This truthfulness is proof of the nobleness of her nature, and fitness to become a Priestess in the Temple. Having selected as her aim the divinest of Arts, that are requiring the richest endowments of nature and the most prolonged and arduous culture, it was but a light thing for her to meet Prejudice face to face and crush it. And now, when she appears on the platform, before an American audience, and her pure and perfect notes gush forth

- “Sweet as seraph's song,”

there trails beneath their ravishing melody the irresistible “AM I NOT A WOMAN AND A SISTER?”

We would urge our colored friends to go and hear the Black Swan: apart from the rich musical treat they will have an opportunity of looking into their own hearts, and seeing what they did not, perhaps, suspect before the first few utterances in her part will cover them with surprise, and joy and triumph. They will hear, in spite of the convictions they have been educated into in this caste cursed land, they will hear what supernal good may come out of our own Nazareth.
We have no adequate criticism of Miss Greenfield, even in the liberal Tribune. Mr. Fry who grew frantic over Jenny Lind, is dumb in relation to the Black Swan. I do not attribute this silence to prejudice: Art must precede criticism: and a new revelation of Art must be comprehended before it is chronicled in fitting terms.

Mr. Fry must grow up to the comprehension of Miss Greenfield and then he may criticize. Even Wendell Phillips, after seventeen years' service in the ranks of Garrisonism, could only “bless the pistol” which took effect at Christiana: the great soul who fired it off was beyond the reach of his intellection. With prayers for your restoration to health,


I am your, dear Mr. Editor,

Letter from M.R. Delany.
-------


FREDERICK DOUGLASS, ESQ: MY DEAR SIR: - I have many things to say to you; and as I desire to be as laconic as possible, seeing that you now have many able and interesting correspondents, and not wishing to encumber your valuable space with such as I have to write, I must make it the subject of three letters. The first, I write now; the second I design writing next week; and the third, the week after. Severally, a brotherly reply, to set you right in your kindly remarks on my letter, in relation to Mrs. Stowe's project, the subject of a National Council of colored freemen; and in regard to your article on the business pursuits of our people and youth, and the elevation of our people in general - all of which, you know, I highly approve, and have long and generally advocated. I am well pleased with some of the remarks of “B,” in your paper of the 8th inst., which came to hand today, and desire to say, whatever difference of opinion there may exist between us, if any there be, in regard to the means to be used to attain our long-desired end - the elevation of ourselves and brethren - bond and free - upon the manner in which you treated this subject, we shall never disagree, and to all of what you then said, I give a long and loud Amen! the fretful letter of a mistaken brother - if such he considers himself - to the contrary notwithstanding.
But my object just now, was to write you on the subject of Eliza Breenfield, the BLACK SWAN, and her confidential friend, Colonel Wood, with whom she now travels; than whom, a meaner, and more unprincipled hater of the black race does not live in this land of oppression. Miss Greenfield's course and conduct have been equally void of principle, but so induced to act, through this man, Wood, and his friends. << Elizabeth Greenfield>> had engaged herself to a competent, and in every respect suitable colored man, who had made ample provisions for giving concerts. She has also engaged Mr. D., an accomplished artist and gentleman of Philadelphia, as here private Secretary and treasurer. Mr. D., in November, 1851, had already entered on the discharge of his duties, closing a good business at an honorable profession, and at his own expense accompanied her from Philadelphia to Western New York. Wood met her in Buffalo, when she broke her contract with the former, totally disappointing him, after his spending much money; and right in the face of Mr. D., and without his knowledge, appointed another person over his head, as her Secretary and Treasurer, Wood telling her that it would not do to have a colored man, as he would not have one about him, except as a servant, and actually insulted Mr. D. by telling him and ordering indirectly to do menial services for him; calling Mr. D., when referring to him, in presence of Miss Greenfield, “That colored man,” disdaining to treat him with the common politeness of even calling him by his name. When he did so, he dared to use his Christian name with a servant's signification. Of course, after this, Mr. D. left them indignantly.
So little regard had Wood for a colored person, that in presence of Mr. D., standing obliquely behind Miss Greenfield, at a rehearsal with some of his unprincipled friends, he was distinctly seen, and heard to make derisive remarks of her person and color; then in a low, mean, rowdy-like manner, shrugging up his shoulders, winking and licking out his tongue, step before her, uttering audibly the flattering words, “O! lovely! delightful! isn's she angelic!” then stepping back behind her, wink and lick out his tongue again.
She is the merest creature of a slave, in the hands of this fellow Wood, and his associates, and does not know what she is getting for her services; as she does not handle her own money, but the person whom Wood appointed, one of his own troup, being her treasurer, and holding, as they pretend, the money for her! All that talk about here getting $25,000 a year, is the most barefaced falsehood.
Every letter that she receives is first opened and read by the man Wood, lest she may be advised to her own interest; and he has been known to destroy two or three several letters written to her by the colored contractor, who made the previous engagement with her. When she is in a place, she dare not receive and see colored company, as this impostor Wood uses every devise and low cunning to prevent it.
This Wood is the same mean person, who, three years ago, was proprietor of a museum in Cincinnati, Ohio, and kept a constant notice, that no colored person would be admitted. Indeed it is said of him that he has said that he would as “willingly see a black dog coming into his museum, as a colored person;” and this is the man who intends leaving the United States to fill his coffers with the generous contributions of British philanthropy!
I will simply add, that Mr. D., the artiest here spoken of, is well known in Great Britain, particularly in Liverpool and London; and Miss Greenfield was fully apprised of the character of Wood, and the superior advantages to her in going to Europe with a suitable colored gentleman and lady. In addition to Wood's other principles of negro hate, he is a most uncompromising supporter of the infamous Fugitive Slave Law. What I write, I do as a duty I owe to our oppressed selves, and stand individually responsible for. In a concert held in Cincinnati, last winter, a year, where Jenny Lind and Parodi had held concerts, and two or three hundred of the colored citizens attended, in common with others, without distinction, this same Col. Wood and Miss Eliza Greenfield objected to colored persons attending. In regard to this unparalleled act of meanness and insult to a large and respectable population, the Dispatch of this city, one of the leading daily papers, has the following just rebuke;
MEAN SPIRIT. - “We find the following announcement in the Cincinnati Nonpareil of Friday:
'Colored persons are excluded from the Black Swan's concerts at Smith and Nixon's Hall.'
“Then the 'Black Swan,' if she has a particle of true spirit, should exclude herself from that same hall. If she consents that her own people shall, on account of their color, be shut out from a room where she sings, the glorious gifts of Genius and of Song have been bestowed on one most unworthy their possession.”
Yours for God and Humanity,
M.R. DELANY.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS PAPER

THE BLACK SWAN AGAIN.
-------


"The Black Swan," alias Miss << Elizabeth Greenfield>> , has been amongst us. She sang in Corinthian Hall, on Thursday evening. - Five or six hundred persons attended her Concert; tickets of admission were sold at a dollar, a high price, considering the limited celebrity of the Artiste. The audience, although compose of all classes, was yet remarkable, as constituting a representation of the two extremes of Rochester society. The class to which we and Miss Greenfield belong, was largely represented; and we think that few Concerts ever held in this city could boast of the presence of a larger number of the wealthy, refined, and influential, than the recent Concert of Miss Greenfield. Why we, the colored people, flocked to hear the sable Songstress, is easily understood; but it is not so easy to account for the presence of what (in slang phrase) we should call "the upper ten." We leave this curious fact to the consideration of others, hoping that the conclusion to which they may come, may not be found inconsistent with that noble virtue which enables a community possessing it, to distinguish and appreciate merit and genius, under whatever prejudices and disadvantages they may be presented.
As Miss Greenfield is just entering upon her musical career, and is, doubtless, destined to occupy no small space in the musical world, it may not be out of place to devote a larger share of our editorial columns than is usual, in such notices, to some description of her appearance and her performances. - If any other apology is needed, we frankly state, as a colored man, that we are ever proud to find evidence of the ability of our people to cope with the more favored Anglo-Saxons, whether in matters useful or ornamental. - Miss Greenfield is about the medium height, square built, compact, and stoutly made. - Her "color," (by no means unimportant in this country,) is that of a ripe chestnut, or a dark brown. She is evidently of complete African descent, and has the features which distinguish our variety of the human family. The first impression received by a first view of her countenance, is neither definite nor prepossesssing. Her manner upon the platform is dignified and self-possessed, but her face motionless, unreadable, and uninteresting. - It is not until you hear her voice, and take a second and more searching glance, that you get the first peg upon which to rest your inquiry into her mysterious powers. She has small black eyes, which the general complexion so completely shades, as to permit them to elude a first glance: once seen, however, they become matter of study, as they disclose, somewhat, the secret of her extraordinary proficiency in the musical art. They are the very index of quickness, aptitude, discrimination, and a sort of flinty shrewdness. We could trust her with a hundred Barnums. - The mouth and chin seemed formed alike for mirth and song, and indicate something of the enthusiasm, without which she could not have been supported through the difficulties she has encountered and overcome.
The Pieces sung by Miss Greenfield, were principally selections from Operas, and were of course, beyond our musical sphere. Her Programme was a heavy one. She sang no fewer than thirteen pieces during the evening, and appeared as fresh at the close, as at the commencement. She had none of the assistance by which other great singers are accompanied and relieved. The whole burden of the entertainment rested upon her; and she performed the Herculean task with marvellous facility, and we think, to the satisfaction of every person in the Hall. A little instrumental music would have raised the interest, and set off the powers of our Songstress to much better advantage. We would suggest to her agent the propriety of securing the services of our colored fellow-citizen, Mr. Holmes, at once; for with a little practice on his violin, the latter would not fall far behind the celebrated Burke. Then, too, his color would harmonize, as well as his instrument, and give additional zest to the performances of each. Not the least charm of Miss Greenfield, is the singular ease with which she performs the most difficult parts of what she sings. There is, in her case, no distortion of countenance, no straining of the voice, no curving the neck, no gasping, no pumping for breath, (always a source of pain to listeners;) but she does all with ease and grace, and without the slightest apparent effort. Her rich voice, full, round, and clear, rolls out with sweetness, unmarred by any flaws, and seemingly without any more effort than the mere opening of her mouth.
With great power, her voice combines flexibility and softness. She soars aloft with the strength of the eagle, and descends as smoothly and noiselessly as a dove from a calm sky. Her command of her voice is striking; it is complete and constant, and she seems well to understand it. She knows what she can do, and does that, and no more. Mounting aloft to the highest note, perhaps, ever reached by human voice, it is neither giddy or unsteady; but it is in her low notes that Miss Greenfield, we think, excells all other female vocalists. She sung the bass of "Old Hundredth," to the wonder and amazement of all. The burst of applause that followed, was full, emphatic, spontaneous and universal.
We could, for a time, scarcely believe that those deep bass sounds proceeded from the lips of woman, so completely did she imitate the masculine roar. This singular performance must have shocked (if there were any such present) those nervous and exceedingly timid old gentlemen, who, about these times of woman's conventions, are quite alarmed lest woman should usurp dominion over man. The sensation would have been momentary, for the remarkable songstress quickly assumed that sweet, clear, silvery, shrill tone which none of our rough bearded tribe can successfully counterfeit.
In conclusion, we must express ourselves as highly gratified with the entertainment. - The moral effect of that concert will not be lost on those who attended it. It cannot fail to rise our afflicted and much underrated people in popular estimation. Our white fellow-citizens had before them a colored woman - one of that race held in slavery, and deemed only worthy by this nation to toil under the lash, raise cotton, rice, sugar and tobacco; to be bought, sold and hunted like wild beasts; and yet this woman possesses musical powers, ability to charm and delight th most refined audience, comparable at least with those of Jenny Lind. - We have heard many of the admirers of the later confess, that, in some things, Miss Greenfield is Jenny's superior. She certainly is so in the low notes, for she sung with ease a full octave lower.
We understand that Miss Greenfield is again to visit Rochester, and we hope that all our Rochester readers will hear her for themselves.
