THE wAvERLEY NOVELS.

We have been obliged with the following
extract of letter from gentleman, student
ofDiviDity, in Edinburgh, to his father in Cam
bridge, dated September 10, in answer to fresh
inquiries respecting the authorship of the cele-
brated Scotch Novels.
Sir Waiter Scott is (s,ne dibio) author of
The Waverley Novels. No one disputes it
here The only doubt is, " neither he be sole
author ,r Joint with Peter -, and Profess
sor W -. say be is sole author"
Considering the circle in which the letter
writer IS familiar there can be 90 doubt of
the correctness of the opinion. The volumes

TO I. W. SMITH, ESQ.

In the last number of your paper, you have
sgnifed your intention not to enter into a
PAPER yar' with me, under the responsibility
of your own name. BY doing this you have
given an exp licit manifestation, that so long
as you could in your lurking place, con-
cealed from the public eye, you would not
hesitate to attack the reputation of one, who
had never given you just cause of offence,
merely because he would not abandon the
course he had uniformly pursued, to follow at
your heels through all your various windngs,
and political tergiversations but, when called
upon by him., to come out and explain your
self, you shrink from SO reasonable and just
a requisition, although you had been informed
from source which you could not dscredlt
that your insinuations against him had no foun-
dation in truth, if indeed, they were ever be-
ieved by you.
Such conduct in you, sir, will be appreciated
as it deserves, and happily relieves me from
all necessity of taking any further notice of
you, in this way. | shall, therefore, embrace
this favorable opportunity to wave all consi-
derations of personal nature, in relation to
YOURSELF and leave you to your own reflection.

Such we have no doubt will be the
result of this new attempt in favor of JUS
tice and humanity. The absurdity of
boasting of the freedom and justice of
their government and institutions, whilst
their colonies are blackened with the in
Justice and cruelty of the most odious
and wicked slavery, is too obvious to
escape observation, and too gross to be
admitted by any reasonable and upright
mind. We have long desired to see
such a measure as this undertaken-we
hope it will not be abandoned until the
object is fully accomplished.

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY.

An eEor. is about being made in Great
Britain for the final and absolute abro-
CATION Of African slavery throughout their
dominions. A petition for the COM
mencefnent of system, having this OBJ
iect in view, has been presented to par.
lament from a body Of the Society OF
Friends, BY Mr. Wherefore, and notice
given by Mr.. POWELL Buxton, that he
should move to have the subject taken
into consideration on the 22d of April.
We were informed some months
since that, societies were forming in Eng
land for this great object, and that Sc
rious attempt would be made to accom-
nlish it as fast as the nature OF things
would admit: That it will meet with
strenuous opposition on the part OF the
West India planters and merchants we
do not doubt. Such was the fact with
the first attempt to abolish the Slave
Trade. The friends Of the measure
however, persevered for 90 years, gain
ing strength at every effort, until a
length their labors were crowned will

Hail America thou land OF hypoorltes :
/ blush to call thee my native country,
while such scenes as this are witnessed
within thy borders. Thy sons and daugh-
tiers can ana,hematize the Mahometans,
for doing the SAME THING of which
they themselves are guilty; they can
talk of preaching the gospel of Christ to
the heather, when, at the same time,
they know not what it is, or, are know
ingly and daily violating its clearest pro-
visions; they pirate about republicanlsm,
while they are, ipso facto using their
utmost exertlons to perpetuate IN the
bosom of their country, and under their
own eyes, the most abominable and
bloody despotism that ever existed upon
the face of the earth . Is it possible that
the blessings of Heaven will continue
TO descend upon people guilty OF such
eiaboIical practices mo '--the dark
electric cloud, the wrath OF Jehovah,
will burst upon their heads; and natures
avenging arm, smothered volcano on
which they daily tread, will one day ex-
plode, and hurl them to the gates OF
irremediable ruin! Slave holders,
awake from your delusion THESE
things will most surely be verified. 1t
is as certain as fate. 1t is the experience
of all ages, and all nations. Tyranny OF
every kind must be destroyed. Look at
the present state ofthe world where des-
potism prevails-In European Turkey,
Spain, Portugal, South America and
Mexico, Havoc and Destruction stalk
abroad and tyrants trembie atthe frowns
of ETERNAL JUSTICE. Turn | be-
seech you, from your works OF oppres-
sion, or it will assuredly be your lot, bye

81 am advised that it is probable there
will be a convention of the people Of II

tremeiy to learn, is to alter the constitu-
ton so as to admit slaves to be held in
the state. can think Of no event that

and all who have an interest in the lands

by emigration, imagine, has been and
must continue 10 be, principally from the
northern and eastern states; a people
whose principles, habits and prejud,ces
are much opposed to slavery, and living
amongst those who hold sIares. Emil

son to expect that it will be Witnessed to
any considerable extent with you, eve,
should the proposed alterations in your
take place; and by it you
would lose much Of the northern and
eastern competition in the purchase and
sales of your lands. Could the slaves.
of Virginia be removed from it, and
prohibition put to their future introduce
ton, it is believed by many that the lands
this state would be more valuable, than
the lands and slaves together at this tipe.
Ispeak only Of the pecuniary interest of
the state; believing that it never entered

ton of a people was improved by intro
ducing slaves amongst them"

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
Nh Friends

My Friends:
would call your attention for mo-
ment, while address you on the sub
iect of liberty. Personal freedom is
surely the most desirable enjoyment
placed within the grasp of mortality. 1t
is altogether congenisl to human feeling
it agrees well with that divine notion of
right, engraved on the human intellect by
its Author. We see that our forefashers
could not abide the horrible thought that
they, and their posterity should come
under British tyranny. No, they could
not, but, reused at the mere flash of op-
preston, they were quickly begirt with
gli,tering arms, and arrayed in the san-
guinc fields, where
In bloody fight with awful pain,
They did our liberties obtain.
AT the recollection of this, should not
every patriotic breast szveN with graft
tude, that our ancestors inherited spirit
so noble And have their sons degepe-
rated ! trust not Let the British WITH
a beligerent force land on our shores,
and seq if our young men will not t1y,
equipped with valor and steel, to the held
of battle, and fight within hairs-breadth
of their lives yea, many of them will
suffer their bodies to lie on the crimson
field, sooner than wear the british yoke.
And who could blame them f! Surely
none. Since our liberty has cost so
much, can there be man in the land,
base enough, and regardless enough OF
his own interest to cast it away

1t is no uncommon thing to hear our
good, liberty loving, religion protesting,
southern Shareholders declaim with We
hemence, now days, against the for
cign slave trade. And for a show OF
morality and Justice, they have consent
ed to the enactment Of laws against the
introduction of slaves into the country
from abroad. Yet Notwithstanding this,
we sometimes see such things as the toll
lowing in the newspapers.
