this circums ST. nce, and to this alone, Is
attributed the great degree oil excite
ment produced by the question. IT IS OF
all others the most irritating, as The
United States have found by sad expert

that efforts were made, and lnslnuatlonS

of holding slaves, he set all. his slaves
free, and transported them to the state
Of Illinois, where he has settled them
upon his own lands and made the most
enthusiastic efforts for their prosperity
and ease. When this storm therefore
arose in his adopted state, II IS not very
tonishing that even the character Of
Mr.. Coles should be exposed 10 the
shafts of passion. Bat though an en-

Steam .NayigGdon.--The Steamboat
Ftorence Capt. Dome, arrived here
from Louisville on the ID Installer DIS
charging a part Of her cargo consigned
for this place, she proceeded on Der voy
age 10 Terre Hante ; she has sinoe re-
turned--and is now ascending the Ono,
to the place from whence she came.
Tie Florence is the frs, steamboat
that has ever assembled tie Wabash
and we have no doubt she has made a
profitable trip. Why this river has been
SO long neglected by the enterprisiog
owners Of such boats, while love Of
gain, and laudable curiosity carry our
active counirymen to every part Of the
habitable globe, has often surprised
US.
The Wabash is rapid but noble
stream; and generally affords sumtien-
cy of water six months in the year, for
boats OF one hundred ions burthen. The
great Improvements of the surrounding
country, and the increase of population,
now affords productions and causes
wants, which are amply sufficient to en-
tee the adventurer. 10 judge of these
matters, it is only necessary to advert to
the fact, that only four years since, twas
a novel thing to see fiat boat passing
Vincennes on her way 10 the Mississippi
----and we are rather under, than over the
number Wien we state, that upwards OF
one hundred have descended the Wabash
this season. With climate mid and
salubrious, soil happily adapted to
every species of vegetadon--commercial
and manufacturing facilities which only
want capital and enterprise to elicit and
promote them--this luxurisnf and big y
favored country, has cause olielicitallon,
that this steamboat has pointed Out the
way TO others.
The Ohio river to louisville, seems
heretofore to have monuplized TOO many
steam boats; the tributary streams, par
|icularly the Wabash to Vincennes. can,
during the seasons Of high wafer, sup
port few, in our opinion, much more

to be conficed principally to their tnaa-
ner, and to indicate 40 inGisposition to
to be sociable and accommodating. On
the contrary, in a route Of more than
1000 miles, of which / travelled nearly
1900 on horseback, and the rest in
steamboats, and stages, have found
the various classes as accommodating
and cbhging as in England sometimes,
confess, have thought more so.--
Some proofs of Georgia and the Carroll
mas might suggest a slight qualification
of this remark while East-T Tennessee
and the valley of the Shenandoah
might almost claim warmer eulogium.
In the course of my route, have. met
with only one instance of personal rude
ness, and that too slight to be mention
ed, except for the sake of literal accu-
racy. My servants impressions corresS
pond with mine. On questioning him,
at the termination of our route, he said
he thought s. the Americans quite as
ready to serve US and one another as
the. English - and that they were con-
-tinually expressing their surprise to
find Englisl:men so Gvil. Now our ci-
Witty was nothing more than would nat
urally be suggested by recollection of
the institutions ofthe country through
which we were travelling, and gen
eral desire TO be pleased with friendly
intentions, however manifested. The
cDldness of manner of the Americans,
however, is a great defect, and must
prejudice travellers till they understand
il little.

L2proUed TEindoao Sasbes.

A Patent has been lately complet-
ed by Mr.. Charles TueIy, Kenton-
street London, for this object, which
may lie applied to all windows, new
or old; combining strength, simplicity,
and cneapness in their construction ;
and o'viating the necessity of getting
outside, to clean paint, or glaze them /;
thereby preventing the fatal accidents
which so very frequently occur in the
present mode of performing these OPP
eratiops. This Improvement also pre-
vents he sashes from shaking by the
action Of the wind, and materially con-
duces 10 improve ventilation.
We have been favoured by the Pa
tentee with the following description
OF his Invention. The improvements in
the sasnes consistin making them TO turn
round, so that their outsides may be
brought inside the room this is done
by liking hanging-styles TO the sides of
the sashes; the hanging-styles and sash
styles being SO rebated as to render
them weather-tight; and they are con-
nected by hinges, boxed in, each way,
to the styles, SO as TO make them very
strong and durable. Neither bolts nor
any other tastenings are requisite 10
prevent their turning, when closed.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

By w. B. TAPPAE.
SAW the oatcast-an abandonid boy,
Whom wretchedness, debas'd, might call its
own
His look was wan, and his sad sunken eye,
Mute pleader-toid bosom-harrowing tale !;
For he was one, unknown to fos ring care,
Which should have shielded and protected him
In childhood's dangerous hour. No fathers
prayer,
In midnight orison, had risen ever,
Before the viewless throne, to fall again :
In blessings on the lad. No mothers tear
Had dropt IN secret for the wanderer. He,
Detected, stood before me, and methought
Resembled much flower, ruin'd flower,
But lovely once, and might have bourgeon'd
gaily,
Had not adversity's dread SIMEON pass'd,
And blighted all its sweets. The buds of hope
Bloom'd on-but not for him. The morning
sun
Shone gladly out but all to him was dark.
His soul was in eclipse-the energies
Of mind lay dormant, with'ring in their prime.
look'd, but he had pass'd me-he stole on
Despondingly, irresolute his pace,
As on forbidden ground. The world seem'd
not
For him-haply It's frigid boon were much,
To yield the SUIT 'ref mis'ryss shelt'ring grave.
saw the outcast but to fancy's view
Methought vision, faif and bright appear'd.
So chang'd, mus'd; but the intelligence
Darling in lustre from his mild full eye
ABSURD my throbbing heart twas he indeed.
Gone was the sallow hue, the sombre cast
OF wretchedness; and in its stead, the glow
OF cheerfulness shone out. His parting lip
DISCLOSED the smile content delights to wear,
When peace within sits revealing. His step
erect,
Tod of heart at peace.-He walk'd in the
beauty
Ofreckless boyhood. Wond'ring, then, ask'd
The cause. He pointed meekly to dome
Whose hallow'd portals tell the passenger
That the ETERNAL deigns to call it His
Known of all nations as the house of prayer.
Here, said the youth-while glst'ning drops
bedew'd
His beauteous cheek,--here Pity led my way !;
And he that knew no father soon found One
Able and sure TO save. And he, wbase tears
No mothers hand had kindly wip'd away,
Found One who said, " Come thou forsaken,
come
into my bosom--rest, poor wand'rer, here ~
lie ceas'd. My full heart, as went my way,
Call'd down Gods benson on the Sunday
School.

indeed, are few but they have too
many peculiar features to be embraced

those who never travelled, had gene
