human life depends on the regular prosecution

happiness consists in the pursuit, much more
than in the attainment of any temporal good
Rest is agreeable; but il is only from proceed.
ing labo"s that rest acquires its true relish
When the mind is suffered to remain in contin.
ued inaction, all its powers decay. 1t soon
languishcs and sickens: but the pleasures
which it proposed to obtain from rest end in
tcdiousness and insipidity. To this, let that
miserable set of men bear witness, who after
spending great part of their life in active in.
dustry, have retired to what they fancied was to
be pleasing enjoyment Of themselves, in veal
thy inactivity and profound repose, where ,hry
expected to find an Elysum, they have found
nothing but drcary and comfortless waste.
Their days have dragged on with uniform Ian.

returning, of the cheerful hours they passed.
when they were engaged in the honest business
and labours Of the world
To en- Joy long life, and see many days, is the
universal wish; and as the wish is prompted by
nature, it cannot be in itself unlawful. AT the

Of those alarming consequences need De ieaieu'

Gates of slavery, will attend tine emancipation

We cannot, however, expect them, or any
other race Of human beings, however mild may
be their character, to submit forever wi'hou,
resistance to despo,ism the most CALLING ana

do not nretend to say that all the slaves in this
country are treated with cruelty; but II is ooVi-
Gus to every person Of reflection, that all slaves
are liable to a change Of masters, ana that In
this country, where there are scarcely any laws
to pro,ec, them in their rights, none OF them
can be considered beyond the reach OF the iash
Of cruelty and the goad Of avarice.
The whole history Of mankind furnishes the
most conclusive evidence that the oppressor
must, sooner or later, give up his vic'ims, or
suffer the most calamitous consequences. we
cannot expect this country 20 escape the oPc-

more easy will be its accomplishment.
That slavery is wrong in itself, few IN this

it is Individually Improbable, many who hoH
them will admit; and every years experience
will increase the numbers of these. THAT il is
a most alarming evil to our country, has long
been asserted by The wisest and best OF our
statesmen, and its injurious effects upon our
morals our habits, our individual wealth, and
our national strength" are too obvious to re-
