ward 4tcakln all men free and equal, as

Ahb!itionim was born among cnlhoiiar

it has never received the ballast of earnest
conviction ; iia own prrjudicr, w wilful
ness counteracting whatgnd it probably
intended to accomplish. Unloss an inborn
or national evil bas an cnsclfUh, and pure
gool lo oppose if, it can uever be destroy

ill never drstroy it ; forit is in, and of it
self, scICah, pcndaniic, arrogant, dishonest.

I am nqt goin -to uphold Slavery either
in principle or precedent i but our present
a;em oi oiecunz ks contented victinia
and bombastically Tying, them into a lib

than useless, is wickedness, honeyed urr

for we are still living upon the money ou
peahed over thc-lunit negroes brought

fathers received for flesh and bloud. Let
us wa:t ui.til ihat is forgotten, before we
point the road lo our Sifter South. Wc are
too fresli in our new-born reformation to
s'and as pcerh ss example; we forget that the
puritan rtfgrdncss of our natuic and oor
clioiate, did more to unshackle our blacks
than all the incipient seeds of poodnrs of
which wc an foolishly boast. The South
has just at inueli goodness, and God knows.
a thousand limes more enlargement of

enn.e up to that individual exertion, that
decided lore for labour, to that noble am
biiion, and invincible perseverance that wc
l ave, she will be just as eager to4rcak the
bondage of her colored people.
Womcst have patience; for her climate.

oor energy there, and keep cmr anathemas

even in her inertness, for our health? ac-
viiy, not cheat and steal from her. her
black kin, till she in very truth can call
os dofs. A we proceed now, with this
hotbed abolitionism, weonly gain her con
tempt; her contempt is not 10 be triIcd
artA.
I will now relate an instance that will
come home to some of us, 1 fear ; but let
it come a home-liiruct is good, espe
cially, if we push the spear ourrelves.
A gentleman of North Carolina left his
southern home, accompanied by his fjmi-
y Jn his private carriage, to spend the
summer with in northerners. This village
as the home of his youth ; he cherished
foni!nes for iulovclv scenes, a deep al-
fertion fr its inhabitant?, and trusted that
one season amid i s hoapiuhty, might leave
an enduring graiefulnraa it ll.o bdioin ol
his itraner wife. The morning he left
Lineolnion, Ins horses were -restive, and
he ordered Joe, a colored man, to attend
him two or three iles. The servant rode
alt that diy with his master, and, finding
the Lorses no safer, continued with him
the next. Mr finally concluded to
btin hiua on. In iho northern counties
f Md, he told the (boy that, in the -next
state, l.e would re tree ; mat no mignt
have his choice to remain there, hired out
until their rctur.i, or cose with them.
Jic begged to couir; his master then hired
hica by the month, and drew up writings
lo that cflVct widi this proviso, that Joe
might stay in the free States if he wished..
They bad not teen in oor village one hour,
before a caucus as called to liberate Joe.

siring, fm.-n tho worthiest to thc-loucst
that abolitionism can pull, waa touched
bot in vain ; the boy was faithful. At last,
Mr fell sick, near cnv death ; ihcn,
by redoubled assiduities, and the promise
of ono hundred dollars, the boy left our
village in a buggy, was carried to the Gen
esee river, pljced ia waggon with four

from village to village, wb the promise of

then thought it was time to withdraw his

Thrre arc setts features ia this, case
which I design to bring prominently into
iew. O, 1 wish I were a lawyer, and a
keen nne ; but, as 1 am not, I most be
content with the absurdities that strike me.
In the first place, Mr -had io inten
tion of bringing a servant north, but for
tunatcly for us, Iws horres were foolish ;
and c tljbreby had the pleasure of a
sumrceVc excitement. If ho had thos in
tended, Joe would not have been the ser.-
vant biought; for be had a wife and chin,

it impossible to discontinue' hid at-

moat humane, could offer the uia&lcrahip
of himsclf.j

can detect the difference betweeti liberty,

and the other accords with the inclination.
If we. as abolitionists, are honorable and
sincere in our charity, xty did -that man

small. 1 will hasten on lo another feature;
nevertheless they ato questions pertinent
to some of us, although, startiiagly mean.
It has been a hackneyed sympathy, til
ted from heart to heart, for the poor slave
separated from his family, as occurs in the
caiutlity of selling.
.How me to say it seldom occurs. Of
ten i i9 bii on Ui death of the
proprietor, aud with it, the servants, but
care is liken before or at the sale, by in
terested persons, that man and wife should
go together. They evince much feeling on
the ubifct. I have nothing to say, as to
he genuine virtue of the feeling, for 1 am
not writing lor or sga:nst tne soutn ; out
his much 1 know ; they seldom if ever
separate the two; if obliged, it is with evi
dent repugnance. Where waa the show
of this line feeling, in our immaculate abo
litionists? Joe' wife, and children were
in the south, where vines, sun, dew, and
all the spontaneous fruits, and beauties of
the earth do congregate, a icitching Para
dise. The husband and father was to be

' Indian Creek, Sept. 27, 1848
Mr. l'rmler . Your paper comes to
our Post office every week, to Uncle Kiah
his name is UcsiKiah , cut, lor snort, we
always call him "Kiah;" and, after he has
read it, he comes over to our' house with it,
and reads it to father umil he gets a mad as
fire. Father is mad any how, because, as
he says, old uncle Zack hss made such a fool
of himself. I dom think he is our right
unrle, only a little kin, a cousin or some
thing of that sorU During li e Horida war,
when I was a little girl, father took roe down
south with him, when he went to seo it he
could'nt, settle himself ihere ; and, in our
travels, wc (ell in at a tavern with a com
pany of soldiers who had been sent to drive
tho 'Indians out of the swamps. While we
were there, the officer" begaa to curse and
wear, because he could get none out nunv
tobacco ; but father offered him some that
he" got from a young Virginian, who hatl
come to our-house a couitingroy oldest sis
ter Jemima. Then they got lo be great
friends, and scraped up some kind of a kin
between ihem, because they both had the
same name ; but I did'nt like his cross
looks ; and, besides, he called me pug nose
and 1 did'ut thank him much for it. They
talked a good deal together ; and ho told
father that he had wrote to Van Buren to
send him some blood bounds to hunt the
Indians ; but father was a Clay roan, arid
they had some sharp words about the blood
hounds. They, however, made up again
somehow ; he got son e more tobacco, and
ihey parted very friendly, promising to
write to each other often; and he wrote
regularly until he got to be a candidate for
president; but lie never noUced us since un
til father wrote to him uteatening; to vote
for Cass and Butler.
Dut I sat down to write to you about
the fun we had last night, and the flare-up
that Uncle Kiah made when he come in
wiih your paper and a letter from Uncle
Zack. which was wrote in answer to one
sent ta him airned bv father and Uncle
Kiah too. They had paid the postage on
it, I heard them say, because they were
afaid he would not take it out of the office.
The house was full, when Uncle Kiah
come in. Sister Jemima ana ner twsoanu

with the two vouneest children, had come
cr -
from Viginia, and had brought some good

would promise to vote for Uncle Zack ; and

ing eteral love, and begging Amie to for
sake all. and eo with him- to California as
soon as the election was over.
While we were all talking, Uncle Kiah
knocked, and as soon as 1 opened-the door
for him, I knew he brought ua some news.
Well. Kiah " said mv father, V has
old Zack answered our letter yet?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen"
said Uncle Kiah, seating himself between
Jemima and her husband, " let me fill my
pipe, and take a few puffs; and then first
I will read the Republican. And. alter
having heard your paper read, lor some
time, father broke out and said '.'Uncle
Zack is -? n old dunce, -and I thought so
when he wanted to hunt Indians with blood
hounds ; Vhy does he'not speak out and
eay whethe he will veto the Proviso or
not!" and he almost swore that, if he did'nt
answer, at once,'he would'nt own him as a
relation.
Uncle Kiah laughed cntil the tears ron
down hi cheek ; fr he never believed
thst old Zacb was any more our kinsman
than the-Uashaw of Egypt. When he got
his face etraight again, he said.
Well, well, here is a letter froc old
Zack; -and now let us agree that, if he
speaks out like a man. and speaks our sen
timents on the subject of slavery, we'll all
vo'te for him: and, if he does not, we'll all
oppose him.f ""t

Then Uncle Kiah-burst out a laughing, father
ewore a great oath, am VVediord and iiob Ly

as he pleased.:- am done," said he, "with

After the Care-up, the -two old men, father
and Mr. Wilton, got together and said 'they
would re laughed at no longer by Uncle Kiah;
and they intended to vote for Henry t'lay any
how; and that Uncle Zack and Uncle Kiah
might both go to' grass.
Pagh, pagb," says Mamma and sister Jemi
ma, don't be foolish, go and vote for men of

5 Well, yes," said they," I guess it is best
after all ; "Kate," said father, turning to me,
" 1 suppose, as you desire to do so, you may

Mr. Fillmore's vure onwaDUsTiinsr Di
plomatic Relations with the Nigqers of St.
Domingo. In the House, December 22d,
1838. The first business in order was the
petition presented by Mr. Adams on Thurs
day last praying the establishment of inter
national relations with the Republic of Ilay-
ti. The motion pending was to refer the
petition to the committee on foreign affairs
"with inctmrtinn In rfinewlcp and ronnrl
thereon." A division of this question was
called for by Mr. Droomgoole first on the
reference and secondly on the instructions.
and being taken on .the reference was agreed
to without a division. 1 he question re-
curring on the instructions, Mr. Adams.gave
his reasons for moving to instruct the com
mittee and addressed the House at some
length upon leave. Mr. Bynum, Mr. Wad-
dy lhumson, and Mr. Wise took part in
the debate, Mr. T. deprecating the whole
discussion as dangerous and worso than
dangerous, dishonorable and degrading to
every southern man. Mr. Thomson would
not ajrgueitneo"iwn; Tie would not so far
disgrace himself and those he represented.
Mr. Wise explained that he had discussed
it, nepessarily, in defense of the rights, feel
ings and prejudices of , the people he repre
sented, cic. Air. Campbell of S..C. moved
to lay the motion fur instructions on the ta
ble and demanded the yeas and navs, which
being ordered resulted in 1 10 yeas; 46 nays.
Among the naysr are the names of John
Quincy Adams. Bond, W B Calhoun, Cor-
: i. urn unnn r-ttr r.: I
win, jjivcn;ii,i-ixjij4ij iv tj,.nuuingf, rotts,
Saltonstall and Slade, all avowed abolition
ists except Fillmore, and there would be no
doubt as to him, if he were not a candidate
for Vice President on the Whig ticket.
