States in removing themselves to that islautl. The following Address t o ' the liagtians contains a full 'account of that Society and its objects. ADDRESS TO THE HAYTIANs. A yooft action always bears its own reward. In 'almost all civilised countries, philanthropists have espoused the cause of the unhappy African ; as 'inflations of virtuous men are endeavouring, by all the mean. in their power, to improve and elevate the character of this interesting portion of the human fa mily. And we, who lately drank deep of the bittee cap of oppression —we, who now tame the swerte - of liberty, and enjoy, in all their plenitude, the hopre scriptible rights of mae—shall we rest indifferent to the lot of our brethren, whose lamentable doom it is tube be held ya under the yoke of tyranny?—When, by a disgusting calculation, we find an incredible number of these unfortunate and persecuted men, vili fied, slandered and degraded, made the butt of all cruelties which the most unfeeling avarice and the most revolting prejudices ran suggest, finding no con solation but in tears and groans; shall we be insiot sible to the cry of their distress, and offer them no consolation ?--No it s had not be in vain that a great and noble example has lit•en given us; it shall not be in vain that the voice of humanity has addressed our hearts: we hare mourned, yet we mourn the loss of our unhappy brethren, whom the injustice of their fellow-men is depriving of the blessings of liberty; and we will zealously exert out - mice., to the extent of our power, to soothe the bitterness of their woes. Our past sufferings —our unexampled efforts to regain our primitive rights--ear solemn oath to live free and independent—the happy situation attar island, which may be justly called the Queen of the Antillas—the astonishing fertility of its soil, which makes it the garden of the Western Areltipehigo--the progress of its inabitat.• its civilisation, and in some •ef the fine arts ; our wise constitution which insures a free coun try to Africans and their descendants;—all lead us to believe that the hand of Providence has destined Hayti for a land of promise, a sacred asylu m , wher e our unfortunate brethren will, in the end, see their wounds] healed! by the balut of equality, and their tears wiped away by the protecting hand of liberty. Nevertheless, we must cont . :ls% that the distant view of such blessings will hut renew their sufferings. If we open not the arms of hospitality, it will but render their griefs more keen anti poignant, to be - • " ' • • the sight of blesstngstAey tans attain. Fellow Citizens' we are not ignorant that the Ame ricans have used their endeavours to coslonhe in .‘frica the descendants Of free Africans, horn in the United States. To judge from the small s u cc es s of this enterprize, it would appecr almost certain, that this unfortunate class of men are destine(' to spend their lives in that part of America, and that, h ontv down by barbarous prejudices is hieh stifle every noble sentiment, these unhappy people will there fur ever be the (kegs of society, and the disgrace of hu manity. To - keep diem in that apathy in which man ceases to be man, by lasi!' the dignity of his nature, to con fine them to the lowest degree in the scale of social order, and compel them to revere the band that chas tises them, some have had the shamelessness and infamy to askance that it was necessary to deprive them of every gleam of instruction ; to reduce them to the most degraded condition, by laying iipain them the weight of an authority systetuatically arloPrary ; in a word, that it was necessary to assimilate them to the buttes. This atrocious conspiracy, meditated with all the coolness of the most infernal machiavelianism, has discovered itself in all parts of the. United States ; and lately appeared with a new force in one of the south ern districts of timid country. Now, as it is utterly impossible that these unfortunate victims of policy should ever submit to a forced transmigration, degra dation and ignominy will then be eternally their por tion. And since the day of their deliverance will never shine upon them in the United States, and as we udge of things by comparison, there abasement will be so much the more intolerable, because they will be condemned to draw out their miserable existence in the • Ist of a free people. Penetrated with these truths, persuaded that these unhappy people can never be strangers in Hayti, since they cannot be strangers to our cause; and further, considering that this country, by its physical conati. tution and vast extent, would afford inexhaustible re sources to millions of intelligent and industrious people, and would become truly i terrestrial paradise far these who, in coming here to breathe the purr air of liberty, would apply themselves to labour—l do, with confidence, call the attention of my fellow citizens to the p:saject which forms the object of this address. Duly authorised by his Excellency the President of Hayti, and encouraged by several respectable citizens in this capital, I propose to form a Society, the object of which shall be to open a subscription, and to em ploy to the best advantage the funds, thence asising, to procure for our unfortunate brethren of the United States the means of coming to taste upon our soil the sweets of liberty. Already the President of Hayti, with the goodness which is natural to him, and which leads him to suc cour the distressed, and with that patriotic zeal which characterizes him when he arts for the promotion of the public prosperity, has conic forward atid sub sclilibed generously. The object of this subscription is to create a fund. to send an agent to the United States, whose hu , in-ss it shall be to co-operate with the Colonization Society, whose infinence is well known; and to have an understanding with them, i n order to direct the descendants of Africans to the aid -,k. ....- :.~. • _ of the fends which the Society possess, for the Repub lic of Hayti. The design of the formation of the Ilaytian Society shall be to watch over. by itself or its agents, the in terests of emigrants, on their arrival in the Republic. It shall correspond directly with the American Colo* nisation Society, with Religious Societies, with the Bible Society, and with other Charitable Societies, and pious men, in order to arrive more readily at this grand result. This agent, as the organ of the liberal sentifnents and henevolent views of the Haytian Society, shall enlighten our brethren of the United States as to their true interests ; shall paint to them the prosperous state of the Republic, the advantages which would attend them there, .atut , by a free and loyal conduct endea vour to gain their confidence, and to remove their scruples. Haytiass ! we are free and independent ; we know nothing above us on earth, but our laws ; jealous of our rights, happy in our country, what a noble ruthu siasm guides us in the career of our beneficence ! Without violating the fentlamental laws upon which our rights and liberties repose, we can invite our un fortunate brethren to partake of our happiness, anti thr benefits of our institutions. And never was a moment more favourable fur putting into execution so laudable a project. The feeling minds in America, and the number is great, in spite of existing prejudices, see with regret the abject state to which the poor Africans are re duced. They are endeavmring, with a truly aposto lic zeal, to ameliorate their lot. They will readily coverate with us in this sahtfary work. As one of dig advocates of sit:tering humanity emphatically said, there is no nation which has contracted towards the Africans so great obligations, as the Americans—nei ther is there any to whom it would be easier to dis charge the sacred debt. The Africans have rnitivatrd their soil ; they havr watered it with their tears. The' riches, luxuries and enjoyments of the Americans are drawn from the sweat of their brows, and the wounds of their hearts. As for WI, fellow-citizens, all the noble and gene rous semiments which give birth to generous actions, cannot Ike strangers to our hearts, ono festered by grief anal oppression. Sympathy has only uttered hi•s persuasive voice among us :and already I behold every• citizen of the capital, conducted by charity, run ning, like the widow in the tiospel, to offer his mite to the unfortunate. But, independently of philanthropic seutimeut•, will not Ametica gain more in regard to her coin- Inerciat interests, by the establishment of the descend ants of Africans in the Republic of Hayti, than by directing their nnixrratioa to Africa Will not the progre-sire increase of her commerce %%Rh Hayti he more lucrative than her precarious relations with Africa r Relations subject to a thousand incon venieneics, in case of hostility between her and Great Britain ; and to entire ruin, at the conclusion of such a war, if it were the pleasure of British ,Mi nisters. Surely the shuns of Hayti offer a greater security than the coasts of Africa, which are conti nually exposed Io the excursions of Belligerent Powers; at least while France does not renew her old pretensions to Hayti. If this should (scene, we could reply, that these pretensions hare become ob solete and void, by a defect in the title, which ren der, them from day to day more foreign and absurd ; hat we will rather say. that if alone and in the morn ing of our emancipation we have wrestled with some glory against a powerful enemy; now, aided by men whose existence would be identified with our own, and having the experience of sixteen years of in dependence, a complete organization, a :ike re sult to that Which we then obtained, could not be doubted. And these generous men, these philanthropists. who, from principle, favours the colonizat' of the de scendants of Africans upon the roasts of (Miura, would they not be the first to perceive the innumerable advantages, and facilities of every kind, which the establishment of these people in our Republic presents: Already inhabited by an industrious poi / 10264in, hav ing commercial relation with Europe and America, situated under a climate as fertile and as salubrious as the most favoured part of the Torrid Zone, it ought surely to be preferred to the burning inn and swasupy lands of Sierra Leone. The great difficulties, the almost insurmountable obstacles which present themselves to the first colo nists of a new land, will not he met with here. The emigrants will be received with joy by our proprie taries, and met with open arms by all ; their industry in the interior will create a vast field of speculation fsr our maritime places; and new channels of abun dance and pr.operity will open on all sides. Then may the good and intelligent Illaytians, who shall have contributed to their happiness, exclaim with the virtuous (tregory—" You have at length a land of refuge; a land which is now no longer a place of exile, where the eye meets on one hand nothing but tyrants, and on the other nothing but companions in misfortune; the one bestowing, and the other receiv ing, contempt, and outrage. Yes, you havi an asy lum ; and happiness at length beams upon you in the land of your adoption ; you shall enjoy in peace the fruits of the fields you cultivate without constraint: Live then for the enjoyment, and, if it be necessary, die for the defence of the impreseriptible rights which nature has conferred upon you. At the Lancaster Assizes, Mr. Wroe, the former Pro prietor of the Manchester Observer, was again brought up to receive judgment on the indictments to which ha pleaded guilty at the last Assizes. No further punish. wont was however indicted, it being understool that he should not interfere any Inure in political matters. SINIONISE. _ The following extracts from American papers re• entity received, afford some curious views of the coo dition of society in certain parts of the United States, as well as, of individual character and manners. A villain escaped.-200 Dollars Reward —During the month of March, 1819, James M. Lewis left my house, about two miles from Huntsville, in the Ala bama state, with seven negroes, 102 -barrels of flour, and 1.111 gallons of whiskey, for Natches, with a view of selling the same, and making a relent of psoceeds within six or eight weeks (the property being my owe.) Since that period, the said Lewis has written to me frequently, that he hint wide sale, and was speculating on the money, but would very shortly re torts and satisfy me. Not hearing from him for some month•, I thought it prudent to go in pursuit of him ; and after haring travelled various circuitous routes by land and water, I at length arrived at New York, from the Havanna!), in the steam ship, Robert Fulton, where I had the good fortune to see an advertisement signed by said Leal-, offering a reward for a negro boy who bad errapr.l from him after his arrival at New York, and directing I • to he delivered at Richmond county court-house. northern neck of Virginia. Upon receiving this in formation, I pursued him to that place, and after four months travelling, nearly eight thousand miles, through the assistance of strangers, succeeded in securing him in jail. Previous to my arrival, he had expressed a wish to purchase 20 or 25 likely slaves, fur which he would give a fair price in American gold, or U. S. paper. When questioned by some of the inhabitsats of the place respecting his conduct towa r toe, he as knowledge(' the above statement, and t ITertttl me his black wife, a four hundred dollar gig, and two hun dred dollar horse, wills the addition of twelve hundred dollars cash, it I would relieve him ; to this I could not assent, as 1 am still bound for his appearance tt court in the Alabama. On the night of the 29th of June, 1920, he escaped from jail. Ile is about six feet one or two inches high, black hair, thin whiskers, small mouth, uneven fore teeth, one of them out— stoops a little in the shoulders, and i- partioula(l) fond when in rolls rrsation, of pulling at the lower part ot his waistcoat. ills visage is thin—disposed to leek down, when he is telling lies, of which he is extremely fund ;al t3oor 35 years of age. I have his bla:•k wife in possession, which may induce him to remain some time in Virginia. And frosts the cotidn,:t of his sister, Fanny Stanley, still half brother, licnrd°,•t Walker, residing near Richmond court-house, in s-- cretin;,• his money, h,rse and pi g , after his confine ment, I aminducedito caution the pnblicid aeon also. will give a reward of two hundred dollars its any person who will secure the said Lewis in any jail in the United States, and advise use of- the same, at Huntsville, Alabama, so that I may obtain justice Gr him.

PLATTSIOURUM, JILT 32.---13a%AltE or Istrosroes. --(In the 19th inst. a man who calhd himself John Carlin, an Italian, was arrested in this village, ar•.l committed to prison, under what is usually tensed the Vagrant Act.

Capello, in fact, has no paper or evidenie whatever, to spew that he is the person he pret.•w's to he, or that his story or any part of it is trne, and en Iris examination it clearly appeared from his contradic tory statements, from the papers fonnd by searching him, and from other circumstances, that Isis whote story was a forgery, and that he was an impostor, en deavouring to deceive and prey spoil the conmoir;',:y. From papers in his possession there is no doubt he has formerly passed by the name of Jacob Mereti, and some reason to believe that he also once assumed the name of Joseph Dorelli. 'l•he Community ought to be upon their guard against insporitions of this description. There has bo.rs fir several yeari past a regular system of this kind p it in practice in various parts of the country. Not ho•ie since, iu one of the western states, a person was arrest having similar papers, and telling a story of the same description. He at length contested the in.- position, and stated that there were person in Pliila delphia who made a business of manufacturing and preparing papers of this sort, and selling them tor what they could get, to such foreigner. as they thong ht cunning enough to carry the fraud into effect.
