huls literally orammed with men women, and children who wero obliged t0 remain within all day, for the pearance abroad. At night alone dare they venlare out to collect their scaniy meal olsnails, roos Nothing could exceed their joy atthe first arrival 0the American fleet ln the Archipelago. Itwas impossible tO convince them that American cannon would moi soon sweep from their lands the Turkish hordes. But poor deuded creatures As nation, this boasted land Of liberty views with apathy your efforts to be iree Upon the arrival of the ships from this country bearing provisions and clothing, universal thanks giving offered up by all. Nothing could restrain their immoderate joy. Dancing and weeping by turns took possession of these naked and half beings and Long live Americans" would resound from one esd oi the country to the other Many times have | 0eheld poor and emaCiated widow, with her naked children, tuggng away at barrel of four, to roll it into their little hu,which could scarcely contain them and 1t; and then return to throw themselves at our Iee thank us for such uxures for roots and grass had long been their only food" Such are the suffer- lngs the inhabitants of this prosperous and happy c9untry are asked to relieve. From Ltchfed coun- V, much, with reason, may be expected. Its high character for education, love ofreedom, and above a Tor its honorabl assistance in every act of charity, promise much. They have only to know of sufferngs, to relieve them. The poor ofOur country are happy, happy beings, when compared with the Greeks. Ours can sa'l at the rich mans door, and from the falling crumbs collect subsistence but there all are alike poor--the property of the rich has long since been spent m the public good: every is alike destitute. They ask. not money; they seek only for clothes to HdAeAsSSS-AOf DreaO 10 prevent SE6TDQtlOn.- They fight for their reiigon-it Is like ours-they are engaged m the conflict of the against the cross-of Mahomet against Christ. Shall not Chris laans then blush at their apathy? They fight for ib berty-Shall not freemen startle at their ndiffer- aRce?
 The means of assistance are easy. The New-York ConapIttee viii receive any thing, garments pro- vsioAs--a are acceptable. Will not the farmer rise an hauf earlier to his york; and devote the proceeds Q tn suffering Greek Shall even the drunkard forego his morning dram, and grant relief human being Will not the votaries of pleasure refrain from one days aDusements, and contribute to the happi- ness of thousands of their fellow mOrtals Let all put in their mite let every devote litte save the descendants of ancient Greeks. From the ladies in particular, much is hoped for. How easy for them to dispense with many trfng ornament--to lay aside to coarse garments for their wretched sisters. few hours work with their needles will serve to the nakedness of many female as beautiful as them- seIves--aRd Oh, how pleasant the thought that by httIe seit deprivation human being has been saved. Ladies, you will assist your sex, and relieve your dy Ing sisters from ravishment and misery. Can you, hearts remain hardened after the recital of such tale ot woe Can you silently turn from the perusaI of such description of their sorrows by one who has viewed them and deceives you not! No: Female charity does not stop here. The bright example pla- ced before you by the ladies of Hartford shall not re- main alone. Ltchfed county shall not alone be said to have neglected or forgotten this people, Think a. gam of their wretchedness conceive of the possib o your being thus situated, and ask your hearts if you can refuse relief Think of their gratitude when ID their daily prayers to the Saviour we adore, they blessings of delivered Greece shall attend you through the path of life. Say that my address shall not be of 1ered in vain.
