A newspaper has also been established
at Junesborough, Tennessee called "7he
Enlaneipafo,," the especial object of
which is "to a9coeafe far abolition Of
Slavery"
We are rejoiced that this important
subject is thus taken its only proper
course. Slavery is an evil that we are
sincerely anxious to be rid OF, and to e
radtcate from our country but it cannot
be done by torcible means. 1t must be
effected gradually, and in spirit OF har-
mony. The most efectual means are,
to convince those among whom it exists,
of its ialiaciousness and evil tendency.
We hail the above as presages oi the cs-
tablishment OF this desirable state Of
things.

A memorial has been presented to
Congress, by company OF Swiss set
tiers praying Tor the grant Of tract of
land, sufficient for the settlement OF three
or four thousand families and so stua-
ted that 1t can be increased according To
the number of emigrAnts arriving alter.
wards, and on the following conditions.
l. that :he division of the hands may
be made between settlers, lusbandmen,
or mechanics, who will settle ia the colo.
ny.
9. That the settlers shall not have a
right TO dispose of the lands, that may
have been granted to them, until they
have improved the same by an agricultu-
raj establishment, or some other branch
of industry and five years residence, on
the ground, or in the colony; except in
the c.se of death,
One great object Of the memorialists,
appears 10 be the establishment of manu-
factories, particularly of printed cottons,

the bold ambition Of their rulers, have pub

THE FLORIDAS.
PROM THE NATIONAL ADVOCATE.

A pamphlet has been published in
London, under the following title !: =" The
Cession of the Floridas to America, and
the necessity of acquiring the Island Of
Cuba by Great Britain; by F. Ratten-
bury, Esq" The transfer of the Flori-
das, so important to the United States,
and so perfectly useless to Spain, has
created much excitement in Great Bri-
tain. Already have real or imaginary
fears magni6ed the increasing power Of
theUnion, and aroused the jealousy, if not
awakened the alarm ofour good transat-
lantic friends, who fear that we are about
to ruin ourselves with too much terrific
ry, and, like patient in plethora, we
want bleeding. TO provide remedy,
however, they are bent on having Cuba,
peaceably or forcibly," in order to
maintain position from which the COM
merce and prosperity of the United
States may be easily annoyed but, I'M
der this mask of fear, ray of English
ambition and jealousy is strongly visible !:
they perceive the Spanish monarchy
tumbling to pieces, and from the wreck
they are DESTROYS of bearing off what is
most valuable, and offer in excuse the
injury which they will receive from the
transfer of Florida to the United States.
We certainly are not indebted to the lib
crafty or justice of English writers !:
our character, institutions, and national
feelings have been unhandsomely repre-
sented by them all; yet, when jealousy,
alarm, or distrust is to be awakened,
they can speak the truth on cardinal
points. Hear what Mr.. Rattenbury
says of the people of this country:
:" Untaxed either by the government
or pauperism, the mass of the people,
intelligent and enterprizing, easily ac-
quire competence. The frequent re-
currence of their elective franchise, in
calling their attention to the regeneration
of her government, carries convincing
evidence of their participation in the
sovereign authority. The freedom with
which they question the conduct of their
statesmen, the unceremonious manner
in which they animadvert upon the
measures Of their Congress, and their
unadorned and uncourtly salutation of the
Chief Magistrate, all conspire to assure
them Of the equality Of their political
condition, and inspire them with conf
dence in the integrity of their represen-
tatives. These advantages, to high
minded and generous people, would be
productive Of the noblest political and
