REVIEW OF THE LIBERTYTY.—CONTINUED.

JVE1V JERSEY.The population of this State in 1340 was

572.353, of whom 20,970 were free coloredpeople, and 058 were slaves. The whole voteof New Jersey in 1340 was 64,405. of whom33.347 were given for Harrison, 31,034 forVan Burc'n, and G9 for BTrhey, The poliiiculprospects of parties .remain nearly t i e some,the popular vote being about equally divi-

New Jersey was a Slave State until 1804,and was reckoned among them by the South-em Slave States, fn that year, an act waspassed, making all persons free w lio shouldbe born after July 4: except that white malechildren, born of slaves, after that time, mightbe hold as servants by (he owners of theirmothers until £5 years of n<;-e, and femalesuntil £1 years of age. Under tills provisionslavery has been gradually diminishing, andwill soon be extinguishe'd. The number ofelaves in 18sO was 2,254.: ten years utter, itwas only G53.

A Convention to revise the Constitution op

New Jersey is now in session, and it is proba-ble that ii may be mude in some respects morefavorable to the rights of the colored populalion.

There is wi-dorn enough in the Conventionto form a righteous Constitution, if ft wereonly directed by a sense of justice. TheConvention consists of 58 member.--, • f whom20 are lawyers. There ore three Ex Governore, one Chief Justice and an Associate Jus-tice of the Supreme Court nnd several Ex-members of Congress. But the extension ofthe elective franciiise to the colored people canscarcely be hoped for, in a .community whereso little anti-slavery light lias found itsway.

Mr. Frelinghuysen, the Wing nominee forVice 'President, was formerly from this State,although lie now resides in New York, lie isa great colonizationist, and is therefore, oneof the deadliest foes to their best interests:.because the fundamental principle of Coloni-zation id, that tin; colored man never can at-tain respectability in this country. This sen-timent cherishes the unjust prejudices of thewhites, discourages the colored people, andreconciles tho whole community to sla-very.

PEJVJYSYLVJ1YM.The population of this Slate in 1340, wn&

1,724,033, being next to New York. Thenumber of votes given'for President in thatyear was £118,036, of whom Harrison receiveed 144,021, Vnn Buren 143,672, and Lime)343. The popular vote still preserves theequilibrium between the two parties, the "members of Congress being about equally divi(led.

The legal voters of this State may bo divided into Whigp, Democrats, Antiinasons, Liberty men, and Non-resistants, who do novote. The old Anti masonic party, or rath-er the remnant of it, still exists in some of theinterior counties near Pittsburgh. We be-lieve there are several Anti-masonic papers ii

.

ib\s quarter, and County and Congre>sionnlnominations on Antiinasonic gi ound.s are stillmade. Bin. our impression is, that tho Anti-masons are fast going over to the Whigs ;mdLiberty party, and the organization will soonbecofne extinct.

The number of Liberty mm in the State,as tested by their votes, in i;;40 was 3-43, inHill, in C counties, 813, in 1842, inthe some, 1,114, ia 1843,^,417. The Libertyvote in 1 fM0 was one in a thousand of thawhole; in 1843, it was one in 115. This,however is no real test of the amount of Abo-litionism in the .Slate: for many of the morescrupulous Quakers do not vote, and a largeportion of* the Abolitionists have been hi: herto unwilling to embark in a permanent Liber-ty organization, believing that temporary nom-nations would compel- the other parties to put)|> anti-slavery. But experience will leach

them the futility of this plan. Hence therelive not been that cordiality of feeling, orinaniinity of views, which are requisite forinked political action.

There are four Anti-Sluvery papers publish-ed in the State.

1. The Pennsylvania Freeman, new eerie.*,ust commenced. We believe it is not a Lib-rty party paper, and yet it sustains anti-slu-'eiy nominations. It is published scmi-nonthly, and l;ikes the place of a paper of the-ame name, which was incorporated into tine\ntional A. S. Standard, at New York, aboutwo years since.

2. The .Spirit of Liberty, published atPittsburgh, by Rev. E. Smith. It. is a vigor-

ous and energetic paper, of the nggtesfvi'e or-der. This goes the Liberty party fully.

3 . The Clarion of Freedom, u small paper,published at Indiana.

4. The Mo/cor Luminary, the late organ.olhe Whig party of Mercer County, now ad-"bcat.es Liberty principles.

The Liberty men of the Eastern part of theState need an efficient, p'eVinarJen't, and thor-ough Liberty paper, and as soon as that shall

e established, the vole will very largely m-rease. The ma'eriaTs of great anti-slaverytrength already exist there; but they needu by fashioned, a.rr«yed, and disciplined, bo-bre they can be brought to beur efi'ectunlly

on the pro-slavery laws of our country.—?hc'indications are that the Liberty vote olhe State will be nt least double what it was

yeur, and probably more. One Congress-onal District, at a late special election, gave50 votes. We notice that full nominationsave been mude in Chester county, and a vig-iunco committee <>i 70 are appointed to carryut the systematic measures of the Congress-

utml Convention which recently met there.

Dr. F . Jiiiius Lemovne is the Liberty enn-iilate for Governor". l ie was one of thearlicst abolitionists, and sustains a high rep-ltion.' In 1348, Pennsylvania will give arood account of her anti-slavery princi->les.

A large portion of the people of this Statere native Germans, or descended directlyrom them, a,nd speak their language,' and weelieve they sustain several German pa-crs.

By an act of the Legislature, all personsorn after 1780 were declared free, and allersons claiming slaves were required to reg-ster them. Under this net, slavery hasgrad-ally disappeared, only 403 slaves being emi-grated in the census or 1330J and 43 in thatf 1B40. But the number of froe coloredeople in the State is 50.'.u\, being just as

nany as ii: New York. Many of ihese arevealthy and intelligent, transact considerableusiiicss, and receive that, respect and coniteration in society which knowledge andirtue wiJl.ever tecure^ in spite of the fool-

§h prejudices of man. The colored people>f Philadelnliia iiave some twelve or fifteen

r, and temperance, literary and benev-olent societies of various kinds.

Son.e six or seven years ence, the Aboli-ionists built" in Phi]adelpliia a large nnd ele-

gant Hnll for the convenience of lh>ir meef-ngs, at an expense of about $100,000. Ttlad been occupied but one or two eveningsifter its completion, when it was deliberatelyjurned down by the mob,- without essential>pnosiiion fmm the city authorities, and withhe secret connivance of "gentlemen of prop-rly and standing." From that time to the

preccnt, mobs, riots, fights, conflagrations, and>iiirageson persons and property have beenife in Philadelphia, until the confidence of

jusiiiess men is impaired, ond on this accountcapitalists have ftWsiid to make investmentsin the city. Anarchy anc! violrnce, whenonce let loode, are no respecters of per&ous;and unless a great moral revolution shall soontake place in the city, the only security ofthoinhabitants will be in the nightly vigils of anarmed soldiery. The dain:ige done by the lateriot is estimated from a quarter to half a million of dollars.

Pennsylvania has 2C Representatives inCongress; but with few exceptions, they havbeen remarkably devoted to the Slave Power;they have sustained gags and other odiousand oppressive measures, and been destituteof those enlarged and liberal views which freelegislators ought to exhibit." The Democrat-ic party of this State have ever been remark-able for servility lo the slaveholders; uncSenator Buchanan informs us that "OpposiBon to Abolitionism," is one of the principlesof the party in that Slatey

ANN ARBOR, MONDAY, JUNE 10, 1844.

"HIGH-HANDED REBELLION.The State Journal calls the holding of

meetings on the first day of the week byGen-it Smith an "exhibition of high-han-ciod rebellion against the laws of God.Will the Journal please state what law ofGod Mr. Smith has violated by instruct-ing the people from the Bible on the Sab-bath, and how he has violated it? Sensi-ble people require something more thanmere assertion and declamation.

And now we are upon this subject, we11 recommend to the attention of the

Journal the following instance of :;highlanded rebellion" which we cut from theN"ew Lisbon Aurora, Ohio. We wouldquote the account from the Evangelist,jut we cannot now lay our hand upont.A '^The N. York Evangelist, a leading?resbyterian paper, in referring to the

do ings of Congress somewhere about 1830,states that "On Saturday evening, Mr.

oindextor moved that when the senateadjourned,it adjourn to meet at 10 o'clock0 morrow, (SUNDAY.") The accountfurther says that ' ;Mr. Frelinghuysenpoke against it with great .earnestness;"

and when the motion was put to vote par-ies stood for violating the Sabbath 12,

among whom were CLAY, Tyler, Wag-gaman, & c , and against it Benton, Ew-ng, Frelinghuysen. Webster, and others,o the numberof 22. Clay arguedstrong-y that legislation like mathematics, wasjood enough to be done on Sunday. Do'orthodox" professors think so?

But in 1833 he carried into practicehis doctrine, as the following extractVom a speech of his on Feb. *25 will

show:

"It was in this very chamber, senatorrlohnes of Maine, presiding in a commit-ee of the senate, and I in a committee

of twenty-four of the house of represent-Uives, on a SABBATH DAY, that theerms were adjusted by which.ike JMissou-•I compromise iocri ejfeciea."

Now, neighbor, what do you answer?Will you deny the authority of the Evan-gelist? Or will you excuse Mr. Clay be-

cause it is a <;Virginia custom" to legis-ate on the first day of the week as wellis to fight duels? This Legislation onSunday, and the avowed advocacy of it>y Mr. Clay—was it, or was it not, a "highlanded rebellion against the laws of God."f you say no. how iben can you declaim

so violently against Mr. Smith? If youay yes, you avow yourself an advocateit i'-a high handed Rebel against the huesif God" for the Presidency! What dorou say?

AN EXILE.The following touching: remarks were part

of a speech which Dr. Bri>bnue intended tonuke before the Baptist Triennial Conven-

tion, but was prevented by the interruptions ofSouthern members, and the decision of thePresident. After speaking of the hostility lieexperienced in South Carolina on account ofhe manumission of his slave?, he contin-icd:

"Finally, however, I became what they ex-pected I wou'd become, thoroughly opposedo slavery. I had left my state for one wherehere was mcye of freedom of opinion, and Iearned after patient investigation that slaveryvas indeed wrongful to man, and offensive toGod.—I had sold the most of my slaves, thosehat remained I freed, ond determined to buyiie others back, that I might liberate themoo—I paid for them thousands of dollarslore than I liiul 6old them for, and yet I:

ould not get them for years from that landf bondage. Although 1 had the bill ot sale>r them, they were not sent to me. Finally,had lo ti»ke my journey to the South, and

mother, as they bid me adieu, fearing wehould never meet again. But God was.myhieid and bucklur. I went, conscious of myanger, l>ut 1 iutd a duty to nerform, nnd life>r death, I would try to accomplish it. But, how I felt as I stood upon the steamers

on about one hundred slaves, gathered up inViiginia, by alave dealers, and then on theirvny to a Southern market. Poor men! ponrvomen! poor children! thought 1, how sadyour lot! We turned into the harbor and I

this, in my native State, I would be liable to aelon's fate. Ah! my brethren, I could not

but weep; and I thought how sad is it thathe church itself, where I formerly sometime:

METHODISM AND SLAVERY.The committee of the Methodist Gene-

al Conference, to whom was referred theirduous duty of devising n plan by whichAbolitionists and Slaveholders could har-noniously co-operate together, reported,hrough Bishop Soule; that they could.notagree. John A. Collins, of Baltimoreo fife red an inquiry into the truth of thereport that Bishop Andrew is a slavehol-r.

A statement from Bishop Andrew wassubsequently read, detailing his relationo slavery, which was briefly this: -

1. A slave girl had been bequeathedto him to be sent to Liberia; with, her con-sent, and if she refused she was to benade as free as the laws of Georgia wouldpermit. These laws do not permit eman-ipation, and as she refused freedom in

Liberia, he holds her legally as a slave.ilthough he derives no profit from her,,lor does he prohibit her departure to the>ee States.

2. A slave boy had been left to his for-mer wife, and his wife dying without aa -will,- the boy became his. The lawsdo not permit his liberation in Georgia,but the Bisbop says he may lease theState whenever he shall be satisfied thatbe can take care of himself, or that hewill be well provided for by others.

'3. Hispresent wife owned slaves u lieuhe married her. Shortly after his mar-riage, being unwilling to become theirowner, he secured them to her by a deedof trust, and thereby all his legal respon-sibility ceased.

Mr. Collins gave notice of a meetingof tho Northern Delegates to consideithis matter, and Dr. Capers notified aSouthern meeting for the same purpose.

The next day Mr. Griffith, of the Bal-timore Conference moved the follow-ing:

'•Rosohcfl, That the Rev. James O.Andrew be and lie is hereby affectionate-ly requested to resign his oliice as oneolthe Bishops of the Methodist EpiscopalChurch."

A warm discussion ensued in which theSoutherners threatened a dissolution o:the Church, if this resolution should beadopted.

Mr. Finlcy, of Ohio, proposed a substitutc that he shall not servo as Bisho]until the impediment be removed.

. John Cross has been liberate-from prison. They came and took him out

thing worse.By care and prudence ond expedition, I

•ucceeded in getting my people out of the~tate, being accompanied by a friend who re-ides in Savannah. I passed near the gravee>f my four infants. I wished to stop to shed

a tear at that spot, but the night was aproaching 8nd I must hasten on, sooii to re

mme the. condition of an exile from my nativeand."

The leading clergy of the BaptistChurch at the South, are quite as violent inupport of slavery as the Presbyterions. Inhe recent discussion at the Triennial Con-tention, Dr. Brisbane quoted a letter fronDr. Johnson to him, arguing that Ronmn antAmerican Slavey were identified in principle,and that in the New Testament there is not

solitary word addressed to the Christiaiconverts representing slavery as wrong, orequiring1 manumission of the slave by the

master.But Rev. Richard Fuller, in a letter to Ga-

u$ha, sr.y.s:'•'•'•God has avthorized the domestic relations

here txisting.1 iJvsus Christ, whose heartyou say is a founjain of love, and who waserribly severe agtiinst every infraction of theDivine law, came into the world nnd sate sl<t

y existing, yet he condemned it not.' 'TheHoly Ghost, after his ascent, expressly uu-thorized slavery.'''

Must not this be n holy, a sanctified institntion, vyhich is "authorized by God." "nocondemned" by Jesus Christ, and ."expresslyauthori/.edi: by the Holy Ghost? Yet thesemen are received into every—no—almost every Baptist pulpit in the land, as authorize*:expoundeis of Christianity!

SHAMING T H E LADIES.

To point at the follies of the femalese.v, and cry, Shame/ is rather a risky-undertaking for most men. Yet we find. correspondent of the Michigan Farmer

attempting this hazardous feat; nnd as -velappen to know him to be a man of consid-erable talents and good sense, who hasravelled extensively in< the State,- we

cannot resist the temptation of extractinga part of iiis good matured lecfure for thebenefit of our female readers, especially:s they may be more disposed to listenvhen they learn that he is a young man,xnd one whose business may possibly in-uce him to call at their dwellings. Ineference to the fear the young, ladieslave lest they should be caught at work,le says:

"With sorrow I confess, and am forcedo acknowledge, that you have gone farstray from your original usefulness—liat you have almost entirely departedrom your former worth—and now arerovelJing beneath your once ascribed dig-ity. I visit your homes and find youespisers of your domestic duties. Is this,ndeed true? In what respect? For sev-eral months I have been unable to catchi young lady over the wash tub Is it

ecause washing has been dispensed with?Certainly not; but it is because farmers'

daughters have goi above their business.This, my dear girls, you cannot deny;or how often I have had a glimpse of

vour departing figure, as you was flyingnto the cellar, bed-room, or stairs. Howbeautiful!—-palpably absurd! How per-ectly ridicuious!—How unbecoming A-nencan ladies! Do you think me desti-tute of ordinary sense that you do this?—Do you suppose it will give me a greaterestimate of your value? It cannot be.Contrast yours with the practice of yoursex in the days of our ancestors—*times that tried men's souls," and formany years after the Revolution. MrsWASHINGTON, the wife of the Father o

our Country, at the time her husband wasoccupying the Presidential Chair, and inthe enjoyment of the greatest honor thaAmerica could bestow, was in the dailyhabit of doing all kinds oC domestic work—washing, baking, knitting, and, in shortdischarging all her household duties. Inthe hou.se of such a woman there are reaand substantial comforts—but in the houseof one who is always ready to run ancforsake her accustomed labor at the ap-proach of a stranger, real happiness can-not be found. Oft-times I have enterecthe farmer's house, and found the girlout, well satisfied that the moment before

I entered., the daughter was engaged inmopping, scrubbing, washing, or doingsome similar business—when, in a fewmoments, out sJic comes with a., gen-teedress, and a lusting bustle; the sight owhich would, to say the least, disturb anvsensible man's equanimity."

UNENVIABLE DISTINCTION.An exchange paper-says that Mr. Ola)

is the only instance in our country's history of a.member of Congress publishinga general challenge to fight.

He is the only instance of a candulat<for the Presidency being under bonds tkeep the peace.

No Cabinet officer, except Mr. Clayhas evor fought.a duel while holding thwresponsible station.

We have not looked up the documentto ascertain the correctness of these positious. but if they be true, i t ' is cortainl)not much to the credit of Mr. Clay.—

to actual or contemplated personal vialence!

The Letter of Gen. Cass on Annexation, short as it is, seems to havesunk the writer one hundred per cent inthe estimation of the eastern people.—The newspapers from that quarter aboumin the most disparaging and contemptuounotices of his letter. It seems to be regarded in that section as designed merel)to get the nomination for President b)viding this Southern hobby, and thus supplanting Van Buren, and therefore as being in itself conclusive- evidence that thauthor is a demagogue.

WHIG PRINCIPLES.The following resolution comprises th

creed of the Whig party, as defined athe Baltimore Convention. Itsauthorit)is of course indisputable.

Resolved, That these principles ma}be summed, as comprising—a well regulated National Currency—a Tariff foRevenue to defray the expenses of theGovernment, and discriminating with speciul reference to the protection of thDomestic Labor of the country—the di:tribution of tho proceeds from the publilands—a single term for the Presidency—a reform of Executive usurpation—angenerally such an administration of thaffairs of the Country, as shall impart tevery branch of the public service thgreatest possible efficiency, controlled b}a well regulated and wise economy."

Several of these principles, it will bseen, are so indefinite, that they mn)mean any thing. ' :A well regulated National Currency" we suppose must meana National Bank of some kind. Tho Tariff definition tallies precisely with that o,the Democrat.-?, so far as we can see.

The Liberty, and the civil, politicaland religious Rights of one sixth part oour whole population are_ of more impor-tance than those Whig principles. Whacandid ma:i doubts it?

A cotemporary, who seems to un-derstand the ':fixins" of fashionable lifegives the following proscription for winning a simple woman's heart:

'Let your hair hang in superfluousringlets over your neck and shouldersnever suffer a razor to touch your facesqueeze yourself into a coat of mulburrycloth; put on a vest striped with greenyellow, and red; pants checked widi blue,crimson and purple: shove your feet intoa pair of boots with theheelsat least threeinches high; dangle a little black canetipped with brass; a huge brass ring onyour little finger; and you will be the lionof the day, and win the heart of any sim-ple flirt you meet with.'

ft/** In 1825, Mr. Clay said that "all oughtto unite in the uaqualided proscription" ofDuelling. Tnat ia right. Abolitionists arecomplying with his advice, in refusing to voteforhiiu for President.

DISSOLUTION OF T H E UNION.This subject came up before the Arner-

can Anti-slavery Society at their Annu-al Meeting in New York. Strange toell, after a full discussion, the measurevas adopted by a strong vote—yeas 59.nays 21. It was protested against byThomas Earlc, D. L. Child, and othereading members of the Society. Welave examined the proceedings with some

care, to learn how the Union is to be dis-olvcd. We supposed it took the Peopleo dissolve the Union. So far as we canscertain, the intention of the seceders iso refuse to vote, hold office, perform niil-tary duty, or in any way actively recog-izethe authority of Government. Aso paj'ing taxes, the seceders will peacca-ly pay the taxes that may-be demanded ofiem, just as they would to an individualobber. It is evident that in this way itvill require the whole People to effect aissolution of the Union.

After all, is it worth while to talk ofuch a Revolution because one seventiethart of the people hold slaves? Would1

t not look more 'manly and ratknal totop the atrocities of this small minority,

rather than break up our government on^eir account?

Dissolution will henceforth be the lerul-ng object of the Society. Garrison,vho is a strong advocate of it, is Presidentf the Society.

A resolution of "unequivocal condem-nation" of the Liberty party was adopted,of course.

The following was proposed by the Ed-itor of the A. Si Standard, and laid on thetable:

Resolved, That we regard with satis-faction the letter of Henry Clay, in rela-tion to the annexation of Texas.

Among the Vice Presidents for nextyear, we notice bur old anti-slavery co-adjutor, Z. Platt Esq., late Whig Attor-ne)-General of Michigan. Does he toogo the Dissolution of the Union?

A MANUFACTURING CITV.

The correspondent of the Western Citizen thus describes the appearance OJManchester, England, which supplies theworld with an immense amount of cutlery:

"Here all is bustle and activity in thecommercial and manufacturing world—immense piles of buildings, devoted tomanufactures crowded with busy opera-tives, preparing1 fabrics and machineryfor the markets of the wor'd—^streets fill-ed with busy inhabitants, arid carts ladeiwith cotton bales and packages of good:—wealthy merchants and manufacturerswhose premises are measured by acres,and their workmen counted by hundredsand whose business requires a princelycapital, meet you in every part of thecity. The most extensive establishmentwhich I have visited,is the ''-Atlas Works,"belonging to the family of Sharpes. Itis a manufactory of machinery, coveringabout three acres of ground, and givingemployment to about eight hundred men.I will not attempt a description of the dif-ferent Jdnds, or of the vast quantites olmachinery from the immense locomotiveswhich were on the stocks, to tho most del-icate article used in the manufacture ofthe richest fabrics. The perfection towhich machinery is brought, and the vastpower which is exerted in the applicationof steam to the purposes of manufactureI must confess, surprised me. It may bethat from inattention to such tilings athome, I have- not there noticed what is fa-miliar to others—yet when I state thathere I saw a punch operating, whichstroke after stroke, took out ,of a plate ofiron seveu-eighths of an inch in thick-ness, a piece three-fourths of an inch indiameter, as smoothly as a shoemakerwould punch a hole in his leather; alsopair of shears which cut off a bur of ironan inch and a half thick and six iucheswide, as easily as a tailor would clip hicloth; I doubt not that there are manyamong your .readers who will join me inadmiring the immense power which theingenuity of man enables him to derivefrom nature, and wield in the arts oflife."

ITEMS OF HISTORY IN 1844.The following items aro illustrative of

the "Liberty and Equality" existing inDemocratic Republican America thispros-ntyear. They are from the American

The Government courting and negotia-ing for the annexation of Texas—the

avowed object, through its official agents,eing to strengthen and perpetuate the in-titution of slavery, and to counteract the

efforts of Great Bi-itian, whose expressedesire to see slavery abolished throughouthe civilized world, is viewed with'greatest solicitude!"

A man nominated for the highest officen the gift of a free people, and likely to>e elected, who traflicks in the souls andjodies of his fellow-men.

A riot in Philadelphia, the effect of theseprospective movements, and resulting'ina most extensive destruction of propertyand awful loss of human life!" M / ?

05 Dr. Beeeher's sermon on Duellinghas been re-published in Boston, and iscirculating by thousands. In a recentconversation with the Doctor, agentlemansuggested to him that it was now used asa powerful antagonist to Mr. Clay's pros-pects. He replied, "I meant it for everywretch who is willing to redden his handswith his brothers blood." As to his ownpractice, he said,

"I am not the man to nullify my owninstructions. / shall in.ainLu.in them by my-practice."

f l? 3 David Lee Child has resigned hissituation as Editor of the National Anti-slavery Standard, and is to be succeededby Sidney Howard Gay, of Boston. Wesuppose he will advocate the dissolutionof the Union, as that is the new doctrineto which the Society is pledged.

The Voice of Freedom containsa letter from Mr. Work, one of the threeAbolitionists who are confined in the Missouri Penitentiary for helping a slave toescape from that State.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVEN-TION.

This Body made choice of James K. Polk,of Tennessee, for President, *nd SilasWright, of New York, for Vice President.

The opponent* of Mr. Van Buren proposedtnat;h« rule of 1832 and 1836 should be adoplecf, by which the successful candidate mustreceive two thirds of the votes of the wholeconvention, this was resisted by the Van Bu-ren members? but wae finally agreed to by aemail majority. There were 260 delegatespresent, and 176 were necessary to a choice.The baNotings then commenced. At the first,Van Buren received 147, which would havegiven him the nomination, had net the two-thirds rule been adopted— Cass 83, Johnson24—Buchanan 4—Woodbury 2—Calhoun 6—Stewart | , Seven more ballots were had, inwhich Van Buren steadily lost, and Cass gain-ed. At the eighth-, Van Snren received 09—Cass 123—Buchanan £7. The Conventionthen adjourned over till the next day.

The next morning, the first vote stood farCass 114; Van Buren, 104; Polk, 44; Cal-honn, 2; Buchanan 2. At the next ballot,Mr. Polk was unanimously declared the nom-inee.

It ia worthy of note, that of 99 votes re-ceired by Mr. Van Buren at the seventh bal-lot, only 10 were from the Slave States, viz:7 from Missouri, 1 from Alabama, and 2 fromNorth Carolina. The principal ground of objection probably \ras his opposition to imme-diate Annexation. The Michigan delegationvoted for Cass.

Mr. Polk we suppose to be personally aSlnveho'der. l ie fans been Speaker of theHouse of Representative?, bat he has hithertofigured but little as a politician on the nation-al arena. He is a thorough Annexation ofTexas man, and this probably secured himthe nomination, os it was absolutely necessaryto find a candidate to suit the advocates ofAnnexation, or they would be bent on havinga nominee of their own.

Silas Wright is the Senator from NewYork, and is acknowledged to be a roan oftalents, and a ready debater. The letferwriters from Washington intimate that heis somewhat addicted to intemperance.

P . S. Since the preceding was in type, welearn that the nomination of Silas Wright wasimmediately anuouncrd to him in Washing-ton by the Mngnelic Telegraph, and his im-mediate lesponse by Telegrnph wns that hewould not accept the nomination. The nextday a communication was read in Conventionabsolutely refas<ng to be a candidate for iheVice Presidency. Whereupon another ballotwas taken, in which Gov. Fairfield, of Maine,received 87 votes, Gov. Woodbury of N. H.56, Gen. Cass, 39, Col. Johnson, 26, Com.Stewart, of Pa. £3, Geo. M. Dallas, of Pa.13, Gov. Marcy 5. On the second ballot Geo.M. Dallas received 226, Gov. Fairfield 39, Levi Woodbury 6. Mr. Dallas was then de-clared candidate bv acclamation.

THE NORTH A CONQUERED PROV-INCE!

W e have only room this week to call theattention of our readers to'ihe fact of thenomination of THREE SLAVEHOLDERS for the

Presidency by the great parties of our nation.It is an insult to the people of the Free State?,deserving of just and indignant rebuke. Inthe first place, it is an imposition on a free-man to ask him to vote for a slaveholder atall! What class of men can be named moreunsuitable for administering free institutions?Are tyrants the proper guardians of Liber-ty?

Next, it is an insult because this little minority of one fifty-sixth part of the wholepeople have monopolized the Presidency forforty four out of fifty-six years, and nowthey are laying both hands on it for anotherterm.

Again, the freemen of the free States arejust ttcice as numerous as those of the SlaveStates, and should hold the reins of govern-ment a proportionate share of the time.

Lastlj, the shuffling and chicanery manifest-ed at the Baltimore Conventions—the utterEiibserciency of both parties 10 the slavehold-ing portion of them-—is humiliating to theview of a freeman. The Whigs gave thenomination of President to a Slaveholder,and then threw away their chosen candidatesfor the Vice Presidency, Fillmore and Davis,who might possibly have retained a little ofthe spirit of freedom, and selected just such nperson as suited the Slaveho Iders. The Southheld a caucus to agree upon o candidate, andwhat had the North to do but to ratify it?

But the degradation of the Democratic par-ty was greater. Their prominent candidates—Van Buren, Cass, and Buchanan, were allfrom the North. No others were seriouslythought of. Yet in the face of universil ex-pectation, the Convention hud to look awaydown into Tennessee before they could find asuitable candidate, and lie—a s/aveJioldcr!

What an issue the country ha* presentedfor its determination! Clay, Polk, and Tyler,all avowed Slaveholders—and BiRNEr, thesolitary advocate of liberty! How muchmore exalted is hia position than either of theothers! Posterity will do him justice.

05s* There are sever.il brothers in the freeStates, of the name of Clarke, who have es-caped from slavery, and have become nnti-slavery lecturers. They tve almost white. —At the town meeting in Hamilton, N . Y., oneof these, Cyrus by name, presented his ballotto the board, amid the general astonishment.The Judge to whom he handed it, told him he

SHAM DEMOCRACY.It would be ludicrous, were it not also

lamentable, to trace out all the absurdities and false statements that are madeb.y the advocates of the Democratic party"of the present diy, in their adoration oDemocracy. The most amusing specfmen we have seen lately, is found in theJacksonian, a Pontiac paper. The writer goes into his statements with as muclgravity as though he believed1 every woreof what he has written.

His first position is that "the leadingidea of the Democratic party is Liberty'—that "it is opposed to every species otyranny over the mind of man." Howridiculous these assertions look when contrasted with the fact that every sixth person in our nation is a slave, and the Democratic party are far more forward, vigilant, devoted, and shameless than thWhigs in opposing every scheme of emailcipation, whether gradual or immediateThis they cannot truly deny. And therto hear them telling that Liberty is thleading idea of their party! How cortemptible are such pretences!

Again this writer says:"Genuine Democrats always make Lib

erly an ascendant object, property a sequent and minor consideration.'"

Does not a property representation o$12,000,000 of dollars exist in one halthis Union? Every one knows it. Anthe Democratic party trying to abolish iwherever they have the power? Theyare its most strenuous defenders. It isbut a few weeks since Mr. J. B. Hunt,Representative to Congress from Pontiac,as well as Mr. McClelland, voted thatevery proposition—now mark this, and donot try to get off by saving no feasibleplan has been offered, &c—that EVERYproposition for a constitutional alterationof this property representation ought tobe "promptly and decisively CONDEMNED"!Yet this writer says that the GenuineDemocrats make property a minor con-sideration, while they vote against theslightest alteration of this property mo-nopoly I

It is by a continual declamation in be-half of Liberty that the leaders deceivethe honest portion of that party, and bya continual servility in action to the SlavePower, they earn for their party the ap-propriate designation of the "Natural Al-lies of the South"! The free Democraticvoters of the North in intimate alliancewith the Slave-Tyrants of the South, andshouting that Liberty is the leading ideaof their party!

KENTUCKY.The whole number of slaves in this

State in 1843 was 176,107. The aver-age assessed value of these was $360,24—their whole valuation amounting to•$45,837,175. This amount of propertysends two Representatives to Congress!

The number of slaves in 1840 was182,253, showing a decrease of 6,151.—This deficiency, with that of the naturalincrease since 1840, is to be accountedfor by sales down the river, emigration tothe West, escapes to the free States, andmanumissions.

Some Counties in Kentucky have very-few slaves. Letcher has 36, Harlan 67,Lawrence 80, Pike 87.

a land where-such plenty abounds?In reference to the article of Sugar,

the dividend of which it will be seen isvery small, the Cincinnati Herald ob-serves:

"When it is recollected that the con-sumption of sugar to each individual in theUnited States per annum must be reck-oned at something near 30 lbs., it will beseen at once how absurd it is to expectever to raise enough of the article at homefor home consumption. The tariff on su-gar is one of the most absurd and opre&s-ive taxes ever imposed, and no peoplewould bear it, whose eyes, were not blind-ed by the witchery of slavery."

Cyrus in-Biated that he was whiter than the man whochallenged him. A warm discussion arose • -mong the Board, who finally received his vote,on the ground that to be a colored man, a ccording to the New York Statute, he mustW e at leaet one half African blood.

Many of our readers can recol-lect the indignation meetings, held in 1835and '36, to express abhorrence of aboli-tionism. Every city, aod almost everyvillnge held one or more, solemnly de-nouncing the whole scheme as the har-binger of destruction to our glorious Un-ion. How changed the scene! Dailyand weekly Abolition papers are spring-ing in the same cities and villages, ancthe voice of indignation against slavehol-ding tyranny begins to be heard abovethe din of politics, speaking in tones vvhiclreach the ears of the remotest slavehold-er in the Union.

Politicians are quite willing toconform to the prejudices of religious menin making nominations of their candidates,provided they can get the same personsto vote for them without inquiring intotheir moral or religious fitness. The na-tional Conventions which nominatedMessrs. Clay, Tyler, and Polk, wereopened by reading the Scriptures and prayer by clergymen! Can a religious manconscientiously say that he believes, eitherof them, if elected, will be "just, rulingin the fear of God"?

FOURTH OF JULY.We recommend to Liberty men to observe

this annuul jubilee, by holding meetings orthe Fourth for the reviving and enforcing othose principles of equnl liberty and justic(

which were proclaimed on that day m J776Nothing can be m'»r« appropriate for truoccasion. Where extensive celebrations cannot be had, with discourses prepared for thoccasion, let Liberty men meet together, amappoint some one of their number to read somvaluable Liberty document?, and tnke someconcerted action for furthering the grent caueeof hnmnn freedom. B..t if there be no Libpny celebration near yon, suppose you arnyourself wi.'h a bundle of tracts, and fpend theday in supplying yonr neighbors with the*valuable publications. Should every Libertmnn do so, 1 he effects would be considerablennd peirrutient. Liberty men. we believehave but littlp taste for pro-slavery celebrations, however unexceptionable in itself bethe njnnner of conducting them. It is tomuch like a mockery to them. The roar ocannon, the pealinsr of belle, the eulogies cthe orator on our free iusti'iirions, and thsolemn thanks addressed to Almighty God b>the officiating clergyman, that we are a nntionof freemen. fee. have but little power to charmhim, when lie reflects that his own countrholds more slaves than any other Christiannation, and is become a hissing and a byvvonamong the nations of the earth. Hence th<propriety of consecrating the day to Ihe caiij=<nf Liberty, by laboring for the salvation o"our countrymen in chnins."

WASHTENAW COUNTY.A corresponded of the Countryman, a N . Y

Liberty paper, ia travelling through this Stateand publishing his ideas for the benefit of theNew Yorkers. He praises the country ancpeople, quite BS much as they deserve, perhaps more. Some of his sketches are quiteamusing, He thus describes an incident inthe cars:

"As I seated myself in the cars, a san burntyoung man pealed himself at my right. Inliis hnnd he held a large straw hat. designedror summer use, and in it two cloth boundvolumes, and some rol/s of paper.

'See your book, sir,' said I. J took if, andon the back in large capitals, read the "Lifeand (speeches of Henry Clay.'

is any body—think slavery a great evil; but,'. don't carry it into politics.'

'You pray against i t?'Yes.''Are you ashamed to pray and vote

He looked confusion and coon skins, andcast his eyes upon his big brim hat, und wnssilent. Soon, a shrewd looking strangerrotifd him up, by asking him foi some *bettertteasure-s' but could get none; but the flintwas struck, and light flnshed upon Clay, VanBuren and slavery, in every part of th

oars.*'

Ypsilanti gets noticed thus:

The correspondent of the AlbanyArgus writes from Washington,that Gov.Shannon, instead of going to Mexico asminister, has gone home. Mr. GilbertThompson has gone to Mexico, in an of-ficial capacity, the bearer, it is said, of aperemptory demand on that Governmentfor the speedy settlement of claims ofour citizens for several millions of dol-lars, not provided for by the late Conven-tion. The alternative of this propositionis the surrender of all claims on Texas.The truth seems to be, that Mr. Tyler isdetermined on an immediate war withMexico, if she persists in her demand ofallegiance on Texas.

WHAT MORE REVOLTING?Dr. Brisbane, in his lecture on Wed-

nesday evening, remarked that "slaverydestroyed the brotherhood of man," andin evidence of it, stated, that after havinggiven freedom to his slaves, although hehad baptized 00 converts" in a church atthe south, yet that church would not hearhim preach to them, nor allow him to re-main in the community!

And more horrible, savage, and heath-en than all the rest, "ho could not visitthe graves of his children!" And whenhe went to effect the emancipation of*hose to whom he gave liberty, he wasunder the necessity of letting his beardgrow to an unusual length in order todisguise himself, iest his brothers in thechurch and others should destroy him!—.Dem. Freeman.

WHIG SONGS.The Whigs say that their opponents

find fault with them for singing songs.—This may be true of some, but it cannobe the case with sensible men. We haverepeatedly adverted to these Whig productions, but we have never said uughagafnst their writing, printing, or singingpolitical songs. A good song, in its placeis appropriate, and will often do muchgood.

But our exceptions have been taken tothdnature of those songs which the Whig.-,so much admire, and which are countenanced by the intelligent men of the party. As a specimen of what we meanwe extract the following, which was pre-pared expressly for the National WhigConvention, and sung there with greaacceptance. We also wish to put it oirecord as a curiosity for the next halfcentury.

The fkies are bright, our hearts are light?In Baltimore the Wings unite;We'll srst our songs to good old tunes,There's music in these same old Coon*,

Hurra, &c.

Now Let the Locos raise their dander—E'en Amos Kendall dare not slander—For when they j?et into the fight,Lord! how the Jersey coons will bite!

Hurra, &c.

The Coon now looks abroad with pride—For who is I here dare touch his hide?Sogivfc three cheers and as many more,For the noble Whigs of Baltimore!

Hurra, fcc.Says the Bangor Gazette, these ap

peals to the lowest vulgarity of humannature—this belittling of men and principles by comparing them to the low cunning and thieving propensities of the Raccoon—or his complacency when overlooking a field of green-corn,is small business. The name of Frelinghuysen isassociated in the minds of those whoknow him with sentiments of elevated philanthropy and patriotism; yet the President of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions is suddenlyexalted to be the hero of a coon fightand his highest praise is that he will lookaround with pride, bite hard, and preservbis skin entire!

CINCINNATI.A correspondent of the Liberty Press

thus describes the Queen City of theWest, as it appears from the top of MtAdams, where the Observatory is to beerected:

"Before you the city spreads itself ouwith its broad and thronged streets—witlits work-shops, its granaries and ware-houses—with its canals, rail-roads and innumerable steam-boats—its schools, col-leges, hundred churches and 75,000 peo-ple rushing hither and thither—all in hopursuit of realities, or delusive shadowsas the spirit of good, or evil may impethem. There is the delightful Ohio bearing on its bosom all the riches of commerce, stretching away east and west, faras the eye can reach, and on its oppositebanks,stands the quiet villages of Covington and Newport—in the rear and arouncthem are the woody, green hills of Kentucky, and yet undisfigured by the lustyblows of the rude axe-man.

Some of the wealty citizens have purchased out and built beautiful places a'convenient distances from town-on. thehill sides There is scarcely no extrav-agance in private dwellings in Cincinnati. In that particular there is a remarkable appearance of equality. I thinkit may fairly be questioned, whether,thereis a population equally numerous an<close in the wide world, better housedclothed, fed and provided for in all res-pects, than that of this city. Nothinglike destitution, or pauperism is to be seenin any of its lanes and corners. Itsschools are liberally endowed and conducted, at least as well as those of ourown state."

Our Democratic neighbor of theArgus has kept flying at bis mast headfor several months the declaration of MrCluy, that lie would suffer the tortures ofthe Inquisition before he would sign abill for the Abolition of Slavery in theDistrict of Columbia, or in any way givecountenance to the project. In his lastpaper, upon raising the flag of James KPolk for President—A SLAVEHOLDER—he finds it very convenient to omitthis standing motto! While General Casswas his favorite, it might answer a goodpurpose: but now he must advocate theclaims of a personal slaveholder, and itmight not be altogether safe for this mottoto stand in close proximity to his name!Abolitionists can readily see from suchcontrivances how much sympathy the'Sentimental Democracy" have for anti-slavery principles.

NATIONAL TYLER CONVENTIONThis Convention met at Baltimore on

the 37th ult. and nominated John Tylerfor President, by acclamation. We havenot learned that any Vice President waput in nomination. The Convention wasnumerous. Tho Madisoman says thatone,thousand delegates were present.—Flags were displayed, inscribed, "Re-annexation of Texas—Postponement is Rejection"—Tyler and Texas." Most othe delegates wore a gilt button havingon it a single star—some of them a ribbon,\vith a likeness of Tyler. Gen. Stockton and Mr. McReynolds were presenfrom Michigan.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY CAUSE INFRANCE.

Extract of a letter from an intelligent antphilanthropic gentleman visiting in Paris:—

"The ontislavery cause in France presentitself nn'ler two aspects—a pleasing and apainful one. It is pleasing to find that amongnil men here, with the exception of tSie colo:iial party and its hired organs and ndvo^cntes, the great principle of emancipation iconceded. Slavery is denounced as an evilabsolutely indefensible in itself, end emancipation is pronounced to be a duty, and to besafe. But the wise men, the philosophers anstatesmen of this country, whilst they orlmithis, are contriving how they may render oneact of justice towards the eiove, computiblwith the interests of the slaveowner, witlpublic order, and with the colonial system.—And this bring? one to the painful view of thcase> inasmuch as their discussions amschemes involve d> lay and the overthrow othose high principles of moral equity, whiclthe great Legislator of the world designeshould govern the actions of his creatures.—Compensation to the planters, to be paid, iiwhole or in part, by the slaves to be emanci-pated—years of coerced labor—troops of sol-diers and police—priests in the pay and umleihe surveillance of the Stote—prisons, hospi-tals, saving bank?, &c. &&c.—these are thagencies to be employed in the transition fronslavery to freedom, unless a party of abolitionists should rise, strong enough in prtneipie and in numbers, to compel the governmento net in the spirit of righteousness."—BoslotChronicle.

THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.The invention b}r which communicn

tionsare made, without reference to spaceby means of Magnetism, is deserving oa place among the wonders of the worldIt is estimated that the electric fluid travels at the rate of 180.000 miles in a second. The telegraphic communicationbetween Baltimore and Washington, adistance of forty miles, or more, is nowcompleted. The nominations of the DemocratSc and Tyler Conventions were announced in Washington before they wergenerally know in Baltimore. Information was sent back of the proceedings oCongress, the persons speaking, amendments proposed, &c. The manner omaking these communications is thus detailed in the Free Press;

"The wire, (perfectly secured againsthe weather by a covering of rope-yanand tar,) is conducted on the top of postsaboui 20 feet high, and about 200 yardapart. The pen used is a kind of a threipronged fork which electricity causes t<make an impression. The manner owriting is this: The chirographer take,hold of the loose end of the magnetic wireHe dips this end in a little deposit of mercury or quicksilver, which communicatethe electric spark, and this spark passealong the wire with the speed of thoughtpossessing a sufficient force to press th<steel points doivn upon a strip of papemade to pass beneath them. It is evidenthat a mere pressure oC the points uponthe paper would produce only dots. Buwhen it is wished to make a communication, a slip of paper is made to pass alongfrom a roller, under these points. Thletters, the words, or the phrases desirecto be expressed, are indicated by thlength of the marks, or by the frequenc)or paucity of the dots made."

Our reaoere have often read of Me-Adamized Roads: but many of the youngeportion of them may not have any distinridea of the mode of constructing them. Wefind the following account in the BostonChronicle:

"First excavate the road bed to the deptlof two feet or more; then grade and smootjthe bed to th? proper shape for the road; theilay curbstone along each si<!e of the track tcsustain the pressure outwards, of the arc!of stone that is to be huilt; then fill in willbroken stone, (not round or smoolh pebblesbut rough, broken fragments,) say four foeight inches in diameter—these to be consol-idated and conformed to the shape of the roacby the hammer and roller; then another be<of broken stone not exceeding three inches iidiameter, consolidated in like marncr; ancover this the finishing coot of metal, as it iscalled, of stones broken to the size of an eggor under. This lasicout will become perfect-ly solid and smooth, and will last unlil thestone is actually worn off by Uie wheels.

Thpre is one circumstance (vhich is not nt-tended to among us, nnd which will accountfor the ill success of all our attempts at ma-king road tracks of elonc. JYut a 'particle ofeartli or of Jriable stone should be allowedupon the track. This is absolutely essenti.uJto the system."

^/^Suggestions have been made in ref-erence to holding a Liberty Mass Meet-ing at Ann Arbor, or some other central:>lace on the Railroad, on the Fourth ofJuly. A correspondence has taken placeon this subject, and inasmuch as in most)laces Temperance and Sabbath Schoolcelebrations have already been pre-con-certed, it has been deemed advisable to>ostpone a meeting till about the first ofSeptember, to be held at such time and)lace as the Central Committee shall des-gnate.

LETTER FROM A SLAVE.Last week we received a letter inclo-

sing two dollars to pay for the Signal oneyear. It was from a slave—or ratherfrom one who was once a slave, but hasnow achieved his freedom. He writes,June 1st:

"I wish to inform you that we havehad the pleasure of the company of somesouthern visitors. They say that theycame after some of their slaves here, ancI am one of them; but the signs of thetimes nre altered—they can't comeitf Mymaster's brother-in-law was one of them'.He inquired for me, but I was out . .. . . and I did not get the opportunity tosee him, but have understood that theywould be back again in six weeks with astronger force, to take us away home.—So we still look for them, and keep ourselves prepared to meet them withoudread or fear. was out henlast summer after us, and we told birrthat we had no desires to go back again.'

We trust the writer will show by hidefence of his liberty, should occasion require it, that he is worthy of it—that h"knows his rights, and knowing, darmaintain them."

It may be well for those interested inslave catching to bear in mind, that theAct of Congress of 1793, does not requiror authorize the issuing of any warrant oprecept whatever, by a Justice of thPeace, for bringing the alledged slave before the tribunal. The law says, theclaimantjhis agent or attorney "ishereb)empowered to seize or arrest such fugitivfrom labor, and to take him or her befonany judge" &c.—that is, if he can. Anjperson aiding in such arrest, whether officially or otherwise, under the authorit}of a Justice of the Pence, acts without anyauthority of law xoh-atever. The laws oMichigan know nothing of slavery.

After the person claimed is arrestecand is handed over to the claimant by thjudicial authority, the claimant must kee\him as best he may. Our jailors havino authority for imprisoning persons aslaves. When Latimer was imprisonecin jail in Boston, the Sheriff was threatened with a prosecution. He procurethe best counsel in the city, and was informed he was holding a man in durancewithout any law, and he Would have released him, had not his freedom been purchased at a definite price.

We do not advise a resort to bloodshecby tlie slave. We are rather inclined tthe non-resistant school of Christians.̂ —But the greater portion of Christians believe it right to defend liberty, by an1!amount of bloodshed that may be necessary for that purprse.

COMMUNICATIONS.For the Signal of Liberty.

IS THE CONSTITUTION ANT1 SLA-VERY?

MESSRS. EDITORS:—I observed in the Sig-nal of the 13th inst. an article over the sig-nature of t?. W. Poster, with the followingcaption: "The national government mustabolish slavery," and containing the followingwords, "The liberty parly cannot accomplishby their political power, the entire abolitionof slavery in the United States, without nnamendment to the Constitution ihnt shallprohibit the existence of slavery in ony olthe States. It is not pretended by nnv, (orat most but by very few,) that under the pres-ent Constitution the Liberty party, with theentire control of the General Government,could abolish slavery within the limits of theoriginal States; while it is admitted by allthat the Constitution requires the Governmentof the United States (o suppress insurrectionsin any of the Sta:es."

I am glad that Mr. Foster has presentedthis subject to the. consideration of the manyreaders of your excellent paper. I like hitcaption. The discussion of this topic willprobably elicit light, and aid in forming cor-rect conclusions in relation to the meaning ofsame portions of the Constitution, and of theduty of Liberty men under it. I am one ofthe "few" alluded to in the parenihesis. IIthe "few" are in error, discussion may setthem right, or, possibly, the many may befet right. The "few" ore increasing theirnumber with considerable rapidicy in this re-gion. Let political heresy, with whomsoev-er found, be exposed ond rejected. If theConstitution be proslavery, it merits the de-testation of mankind: if nnti-slavery, there iserror in its general construction, and Libertynien ought to be disabused of that error.

The Constitution cannot be amended but bythe consent of three fourths of the States.—Suppose, tJierij that three fourths of theof the States should become so abolitionizedas to consent to the euggested amendment,what should it be? Why in Mr. F's. ownwords, it must '• prohibit the existence of sla-very in any of the States." I will ventureto suggest, in form, an nmenf'arory article tothat effect, viz: No person within the UnitedStates shall be deprived oj Liberty, exceptfor the commission of crime. Tins, it is conceived, would be a prohibition equally bindingupon all of the States; would take from theSlave States, at once, their power over thesubject of slavery, and invest the GeneralGovernment with power to extinguish Slav-ery in the United Slates. If this be so, Mr.F . would be pleased with it. It would bethe very thing he asks for—a constitutionalabolition of Slavery—that the constitutional•duty of Liberty men to abolish slavery, bydimply enforcing the constitution, might beclear.

Shall we then have such an article ap-pended to the Constitution? The "few': an-swer no: Why? Because such an amend-

t»jvent, added to-morrow, would be of no moretfbrce than if added fifty-five years ago, aboutwjiich time the twelve articles of amendmentswere added, the fifth of which declares thnt*4No .person shall be deprived of Jife, libertyor property, without due process of law," andthat ^process always proceeds in reference tolife nnd liberty, on the allegation of crime.—Has not ibis amendment abolished Slavery sofar as any #njenx]ment can do it ? Is there alegal shun in the country ? To enact the sameover agom in th,? same, or a different form ofwords,—am] none, it is apprenended, can bemore explicit and unequivocal than the wordsof this article—would neither make the Con•titutiqrj stronger, nor the power and duty ofthe General Government clearer ia reference

to that matter. If these views are correct,their immediate adoption by the Liberty partyis important for severul reasons.

1 Political reformers should understand thesystem to be reformed: for if the Constitutionbe right, .they should direct their effortsagainst its misconstruction and consequentmaladministration, and not against the Constitntion.

2. If the Constitution be right, liberty menshould be its friends, not its enemies.

S. A unison of opinion now may conduce toharmony in the Liberty party hereafter, and6ave much effort and prevent perplexity.

I have said nothing of putting down ser-vile insurrections in "any of the States,'' Torif the Constitution enact the liberty of all,thai, as an objection, goes by the board.

(KemralDISASTROUS CONFLAGRATION*—

TERRIBLE LOSS OF PROPERTY-TEN SQUARES LAID IN ASHES —BETWEEN TWO AND THREE HUN-DRED HOUSES BURNED.From the New Orleans Picayune, May 19.

We are called upon to record the particu-lars of one of the most extensive and disae-trious fire3 which ha3 ever occured in ourcity. Between 12 and 1 o'clock yesterday af-ternoofl, the flnmee burst forth in the carpen-ter's shop of Mr. Gottt, near the North-western corner of Fronkltn and Jacksonstreets, which, before they could be go! tin--der, spreud to the adjoining tenements withfriuhtful rapidity. Every building was ofwood, nnd as dry as tinder itself from thelong drought, so that nothing could checkthe onward progress of the devouring ele-ment.

The firemen assembled immedia.ely; but asno-water could be obtained other thnn fromthe gutters, their attempt at firsf. were rendered utterly unavailable. The wind fortunate-ly ble.v in the direction towards the swamp;bad it been otherwise, the fi.imes would haveswept towards the river, in which case therewould hove been no bounds to the destruc-tion. As it wa*», they were carried witllightning rnp'rlity down Jackson St. commu-nicating to the houses on either side, and scorpresenting a brood sheet of fire some hundrecyards in width. To attnmpt to arrest themwas soon found entirely out of the power ofman; no water could be procured, and the en-jrines were thus rendered useless.

To save their furniture <vas all thsl the unfortunate residents of this section could hoppto achieve, ond even in this many of themwere disappointed. No sooner did they movetheir effects to some house, which they hopedwas out of reach of the devouring element,then the flames were upon them, and theycould only save themselves by flight. In thisway the fire raged for three hours, duringwhich time it kept down Jackson street,burning out to Canal on the right and Com-mon on the left, and crossing Treine, Maries,Villere and Robertson, to Claiborne streets, inall ten squares. Of all the buildings whichoccupied this space yesterday morning noneare now standing save the Maison de fc'ante,or Dr. Stone's Hospital, and a few housesalong Common street.

The Mnisoti de Sante was saved, but notuntil its inmates hod been removed. At thispoint, which is near the corner of Canal andClniborne streets, the firemen directed theirstrongest energies, and fortunately were suc-cessful. The only wnter they could obtoinfrom the first was drawn from the gutters, theplugs at the different hydrants being per-mitted to run from the breaking out of thefire.

P. S. Since writing the abuve, we havehenrd it stated that the number of houses des-troyed will not fall short of two hundred nndeighty, and many think that thrte hundredwill not cover the entire number. Hundredsof families are thus left ho.neless nnd eheltcr-Ie6s, and many of them are absolutely dependent for bread upon a community that wjllnot, we feel confident, turn a deaf ear to anyappeal that may be made.

Some caution is reqnsite in passing onropinion upon strangers—a caution, howeverwhich few of us adopt. At a public leveeof the Court of St. James, a gentleman saidto Lord Chesterfield,'pray my Lord, who lthnt tall, awkward woman yonderf 'Thatlady,' sir, replied Lord Chesterfield 'is my sis-ter.'' Tlie g-enllemen reddened with confu-sion, and stammered out,'No no my Lord, Iask your pardon—I meant that woman whostands next to-the Queen.' That lady sir,'answered Lord Chesterfield, 'that lady is mywife.'

DIED

On the 23d of May, in the town of Bridg-water, in this County, Miss ANN ELIZAdaughter of Col. D. and Maria H. Hixeonaged 18 years, 10 months, and 20 days. Heparents were among the first emigrants 10 thipart of the State, having come here some 1years ago, bringing with them Ann Riiz<their then only child. Blessed with a naturally amiable disposition, she could but havelarge place in the parent's affections. Pivyears since, during an interesting seasonreligious revival, in the Presbyterian Churcat. Clinton, of which the mother was a member, the fatfc«rar>d daughter sweetly yieldeto the claims of Jehovah. Diffident and unassuming, A. E. did not make a public profession of religion- until about one year ogaltboogb from the period of her hopeful conversion to Clnist, she gave her chrisliafriends the most satisfactory evidence- that siwas one of the lambs of Christ's fold. Sineher union with the church, she has adorneher profession by a 'sober, righteous, and Go<ly life.' During her la»tr whieh was a painful aud protracted illness, not a murmur ocomplaint escaped her hps, manifesting froithe first entire resignation to the will of Providence. Although unable to converse fosome hours previou3 to her death, it is thoughshe possessed the use of ber reason to lllast.

In her death her parents have lost a love!daughter, the surviving child.en a loving anbeloved sister, the Congregational ChurchClinton one of its most consistent meiwberand the world a benefactor. In view of thProvidence, how true of the Almighty'Clouds ami darkness are round about Inn

Still we seem to hear his voice saying, 'WinI do thou knowest not note, but thou sheknow hereafter.' May the virtues of the departed be imitated by her many sarrivirrg associates, and God grant that this deep!ufflicted Providence may be sanctified to thspiritual nnd eternal welfare of this commumty. "Let me die the death of the righieous, and let my last end be like hers."

0*Among the many striking proofs ot the ex-citement of Bristol's Sarsaparili;t. not the least isturnished in the fact that such a multitude ofspuiioua and counterfeit preparations have beenput forth, and some of them by men that professa high business standing Unless this medicinehad been of sovereign value, and its great suc-cess beyond ail question, it would have found noimitntiona. People never counterfeit that whichis valueless. Whoever heard of a single coun-terfeit of tbe wild-cat currency of the West?—Sierling coin and safety-fund bills arc counter-feited constantly. The fact that a thing is ex-tensirely counterfeited, is proof of its value.—The success of Bristol's Sarsapnrilla has causedit to be counterfeited in utmost all tbe cities andtowns in the Uuion. Spurious money is uni-versally rejected, so should spurious medicinesbe. No sensible person will take the false whenhe can get the true. People who do not wish tobe imposed upon, should obtatn the genuine ar-ticle. Attention to this is of the first importance.

CAOTION.—Ask for Bristol's Sarsaparilla, andsee that the written signatuie of C. C. Bristol isoverthecork of the bottle, none oilier is genuine.

They sleep on silks and down;

And never think how wenriiy

And see the guy pas* by;

Then tnke their weary tnak again.

II then made myself known us the for-

"But that pail—what do you think hasbecome of thai?" asked Mr. II.

"That I suppose was long since num-bered among the things tlia-t were", I an-swered.

MISCELLANY.From the Rocbesier Democrat.

THE GIRL WITH A TIN PAIL.Some seventeen years ago, I was "a

'prentice boy" in the then famous ''-Cityof Mud," now the goodly city of Roches-ter. The business of which I was obtain-ing a knowledge,was conducted upon Ex-change street, though I boarded in oneof the streets in the western part of thecity.

In going to my tea I was in the habitof meeting, almost every evening, formany weeks in succession, a small well-dressed and good-looking girl, with a littletin pail in her hand. At length my cu-riosity became excited, and I resolved toascertain if possible, the daily errand ofthe girl. Having met her tho followingevening, I accordingly turned upon myheel, and following her at a distance thatwould not excite suspicion in any one. atlength saw her enter a-smallshoeshop onSouth St. Paul street. I subsequentlylearned that the shop was owned by anexcellent mechanic, and that the girl's—Husband. He hnd been married a fewmonths, and possessed no other capitalthan a good trade, a good name and a ro-bust constitution, had resolved to econo-mize in the article of rent, by hiring ahouse in the suburbs Of the city. Hisbreakfast was alway3 . ready for him byday break, and taking his dinner with him,he saved tho hour each day which mostpersons spend in going to and from thatmeal. Many economists would have-been•atisfied with the saving of as much timeas this between the rising and going downof the sun; but not so-with the young shoe-maker. He also wished to save the hourusually devoted to ten, and therefore hadthat meal daily taken to him by hi9 prettylittle wife. This arrangement enabledhim to spend the-whole day, and so muchof the evening as he chose, in the shop.

The industrious habits of the shoe-ma-ker were soon discoverd, and met withtheir due reward. Customers flocked inupon him, and he was obliged not onlyto rent a larger shop, but to employ an ad-ditional number of workmen. But theincrease of business did not wean himfrom the plan he.had early adopted forthe saving of time—his third meal stili

She arose from the table and left theroom and soon returned with the identi-cal pail, as they both assured me. Ineedhardly say, that it bore palpable evidencesof the ravages of time,

"But what is your object, Mr. II., in. • • • n n n H i r i t i *-i» < It n ( n r t l l / ' ' . "S. . f.preserving that pail?

"Its associations.-

We look upon it asone of the earliest instruments which con-tributed to our success in life, and ns suchwe shall ever cherish it."

I soon afterward took my leave of Mr.and Mrs. H. and their interesting andhappy family; and not a day since then.has my mind been without its remem-brances of THE GIRL AND HER TINPAIL.

having been taken to him by his wife, inthe little tin pail.

About this time I left the city, and didnot return for twelve years. I had nothowever forgotten the shoemaker,havingfrom my first knowledge of him discover-ed the germ of success in his manner oflife. I visited the shop where his old shophad stood, but it had given place to a newbrick block. In vain I looked about forhis sign—it was no where to be seen.—I was at length informed by., a friend thatabout two years previously he had remo-ved to Ohi&V. "Do you know anything of his circum-stances!" I inquired.

"1 do. In the first place he took to theOhio about five thousand dollars in cash,from three thousand of which, investedin real estate, near Cincinnati, he has re-alized three times that amount. Theother two thousand he put into a pork es-tablishment, and thatsum also yielded hima large profit. But even had he not re-sorted to speculation" added my friend."he could not but have succeeded in life.so thorough were his business habits.and especially as those habits were sec-onded by sush an industrious little wife."

I have recently returned from a visit toOhio, and have again seen the shoemakerand his wife. He is but now in the primeof life, and possesses an ample fortuneand an unsullied reputation for probity.Never having had any personal acquaint-ance with him I inquired him out, andintroduced myself to him as a Rochester-onian. This was late in the afternoon,and I very cheerfully accepted an invita-tion to take tea with him.

Improving a moment of silence at thetable, 1 remarked,

"I fear Mr. H., that you are not sogreat an economist of time as you used tobe."

"Why not?" he inquired."When I first became acquainted with

Mrs. H., you could not afford time togo to tea, and she used to carry it toyou."

"In a little tin pail," said she burstinginto a laugh.

"Exactly.""Indeed, Mr. W.? have you known usl

the Christian Citizen.

THE ELEMENTS OF GENIUS.GENKTS-MAK.rN(i.

An individual with a laudablfi spirit of em-

ulation, soes men standing- uponan eminence

which he is determined to reach. l ie appie-

ciates.the nature and necessity of the exer-

tion, and sots himself nt work with an ear-

nest assiduity that never tires nor faints. At

first he labors like n prisoner who is trying- to

dig throne h the granite dungeon wall with n

nail or a knife; he conceals every stroke from

the public eye, Jest his friends and neighbors

should lntigli at his tortoise ftop.

lie goes on; every inch is gained by a pnin-

fol effort. He bends every opposing cir-

cumstance, to hie service: lie lays eeig1?

to every obstacle nnd carries " it ap

one would carry a redoubt, nnd turns it a-

gainst the next obstruction. A fteep over-

hanging rock blocks up his path and threatens

him with destruction. lie must scale this-or

neverascend another inch.

Years rol] on and rind him cutting Jiis winn-

ing vvoy up the precipitous bulwark: steadily

he keeps his eye to tlie top until the last inch

t3 Sniehed; and when he proudly plants his

foot upon the vanquished rock, he rind? him-

self the lord of a fortress which commands

every other post that intervenes between him

nnd the summit-goal of fiis ambition. Every

obstacle he meets serves only to increase his

upward gradation. He reaches the top, PIKI

as he wipes his brow and casts Ins eye down

his winding path, he sees that nil ihe obsta-

cles he encountered wore like friendly, though

frowning giants that lifted him from one step

to another till he reached the goal.

Did Fortune, Chance,.or Native Genius help

him up the eminence? No: fortune was hit-

first foe; and he fought with her at every

inch, nnd dragged her with him to the top, a

docile prisoner. What did chance do for him

in the outset? It was a screeching phantom,

that struck its black wings in his face, and

rolled rocks in his path at every step. He

braced urr his heart and bearded the providence

of fate, and allied himself to, a more available

auxiliary, {he common providence of God —

But he had native genius on his side? Yes:

but it was a genius which he begat himself;

it was the legitimate offspring of his own

faculties; which he believed and proved were

fible to produce this attribute of the Intellectu-

al soul. He had a mind and so has every oth-

er fnan; and that mind has just so mjany fac-

ulties and no. more. True they were, weak at

first; and he knew if, and bis fellows might

have laughed at him for it; but he: found by

experiment that these faculties, like, those of

every other man, were endowed with a sus

sceptibility of cultivation and a capacity of

strength sufficient for any emergency or at-

tainment. He dared not tell the world so;

for it would have been disrespectful to.the roy-

al blood of genius, and he would have been

denounced a heretic to the established faith.

But he went to work in secret, as every man

is obliged to do; and he was half way up ihe

eminence before the world knew it. Prom

that point to the apex of his career, lie was

called and crowned a genius. The preroga-

tives of this title are fixed with precision, arid

the ceremonies of the coronation are the same

now as they were under the dynasty of Mt.

Olympus. The modern process is something

after this fashion:

A man, called a biographer, is sent after the

genius, .with all the machinery invented for

the operation. As soon as the candidate for

immortality has ceased .to climb, the biogra-

pher, or ra\her biutapher, sets to work miaht

and main. Ho knows his task and performs

it too. He strikes into the base of the emi-

inence, and" digs away every foot print of \M

hero's ascent; be tears away the rocks he

scaled, and the shrubs he grasped. lie cuts

away the acclivity, and shows the man stand-

ing upon the jutting edge of a perpendicular

mountain, steep and inaccessible as the side

of Gibraltar. One stroke more, and his work

is done; it is the crowning touch of the

apotheosis; he writes upon the forehead of his

unresisting victim yJVascituv, nonfd,in glaring

capital?, then, turning to the world, exclaims,

ECCE HOMO!

This is the history of genius, given in the

language of common life; this is the process

of genius making, which has Filled1 the world

with the graven images of deified intellect,

which only serve to overawe Hie people.—

T i s gross injustice, the whole of it. This

process embodies all the elements of the an-

cient apotheosis. It digs an immense chasm

between man ond man, and breaks up the high

rood between the incipient and terminating

limits of hie intellectual capacity. In this

w«y, the monuments of industry and applica-

tion which great and good men designed as

way-marks to higher altitude of intellectual

AN ORIGINAL.

Some years siuco an acquaintance of ours

set out on horseback from the eastern part of

Mnssachuselts for the Green mountains of

Vermont. While travelling through the town

of New Salem, his road led into a piece uf

wood?, some few miles in length, ond long

before he got out of which he bogan to enter-

tain doubts whether he should be blest with

the sight of a human habitation: but as all

things must have an end, so at last the wuxl.--,

and theneflfl brown house of a farmer greeted

his vision. Near the rond wus a tall, raw-

boned, overgrown, lantern jaw boy, probably

seventeen years of age, digging potatoes.—

He was a curious figure to behold. What

was lacking in the length of his low breeches,

was amply made up for behind; his suspend-

ers appeared to be composed of birch bark,

grapevine and shvep skin; nnd as for his haf,

which was of a dingy white felt—poor thing;

it hod once evidently seen better days—but

now alas! it was a shallow of its glory.—

Whether the tempest of time had beaten (he

top in, or the lad's expanding genius had

burst it out, it was missing—and through the

appertnro red hair in abundance stood six

ways for Sunday. In short, be was one of

the roughest specimens of domestic manu-

facture that ever mortal beheld. Our travel-

ling friend, feeling nti itching to tcrape an ac-

quaintance with ihe critter, drew up the reins

ot his horse and began:

'Hallo, my friend, can you inform me how

far it is to the next house?'

Jonathan started up—leaned on his hoc

handle—rested one foot on the gambrel of his

sinister leg, and replied:

'Hallo yourself! houVl dew? Well I guess

lean. 'Taint near so far as it used to be

afore they out the wcocls away—then 'twas

generally reckoned four miles,bm now thehun

shrivel* up the road, and don't make morn

From Southern Africa.—The brig Cyprus

at Salem,from the Cape of Good Hope brings,

advices to the 2-2d of Febuary. On the 20lh

of January the British war steamer Thunder-

bolt arrived at Table Bay, having captured

three sluves. with 1,223 negroes on board.—

The Sou;h African Commercial Advertiser of

27th January says, that in some of the slave-

ing vessels recently captured, the space be-

tween decks, whore the living cargo was

stowed away, was so small that young chil-

dren, boys ond girls from eight to twelve

years of age. could not creep in on their

hands and knees—they were pushed in, or,

lying flat on their faces, crauled in like

worms!!

The Last Plea.—A. wag tells a funny sto-

ry—albeit eligbtly tinged with hyperbole, of

a case recently brought before the recorder.—

A fellow was charged with stealing a piece of

cloth from a dry good store when his law-

yer put in as a plea, that his client did not

see it.

'Not see it1?' 9aid the recorder.

'He did not see it, sir,' responded the cun-ning lawyer.

'Why, what do you mean?' queried the re-corder.

'Why, I mean, sir, that the individual

charged with stealing that cloth, did not

see it, «ir—it's an invisible green.—JV. O.
