LANCASTER.
TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL s, 1928.

NJ The foreign news which we publish to-day,
it will be seen, is in confirmation OF the previous
accounts Of the hostile measuses OF the Ottoman
Porte. The Manifesto of the Porte is Of a decided
and determined character, and the measures which
they have so far adopted are in perfect accordance
with it. French, English, and Russian subjects
some of whom it is said have resided at CONSTANT.
nople thirty years, have been prescribed and obliged
to quit the capital. The Armenian Catholics have
also come in for share of the persecution. Rein
forcements of men and ammunition were leaving
Constantinople daily and were, it is said, to shape
their course towards the Danube as soon as the
weather was sufficiently open. On the whole the
affairs relative to Greece appear to be approaching
crisis, which will be looked to with interest and
anxiety. A London newspaper OF the Z3d FEBRUARY
expresses an opinion that the Ottoman power IN
Europe is not easily to be conquered as Is magn-
ed that the project Of driving the Turks out of Eu-
rope is neither easy nor desirable and that, finally,
should the arms of the Allied Powers make such an
impression upon Turkey may be expected, the
Porte will accept the prohered conditions, rather
than risk the loss of her European dominions The
Allied Powers have declared that they sought no
augmentation ofterritory, or any commercial advan-
tages for themselves the acceptance therefore, at
any moment, Of the propositions of their Treaty,
would, it is supposed lead to an immediate pacif-
cation.
NJ By the report of the proceedings of Congress
it will be seen that the Tariff Bill is its end.
The amendments proposed Dy Mr Mallory nave Deen
rejected BY vote which shows determination to
resist any material modification to the bill origi-
nally reported If any thing be done therefore, at
this session. it will be the adoption of this BILL But
it is not probable that any more decisive measure
viii be taken than to postpone the subject to the
next session. The opposition is said to rise exclu-
sivey from members Of the Jackson party; but we
are not disposed to give full credit to the declara
tion In the contest between the parties which at
present divide the nation, the Presidential ques
tion the truth though never SO desirable, is more
than ever difficult of attainment 1t is seeking in
the dark for treasure which, even when found,
eudes detection" There may be, and undoubtedly
is, even among the friends of the present admins
tration, an honest difference of opinion as to the
most desirable and equitable system of protective
duties.
Il? We have commenced on our first page at the
suggestion Of correspondent, the Address of the
Administration Convention, which assembled at
Raleigh, NJ c., in December last. 1t is ably written,
and will be found to be candid examination of the
relative claims and qualifications of Messrs. Adams
and Jackson for the presidency. We have seen no
better paper of similar nature, and are glad of an
opportunity of laying it before readers. 1t will
be concluded next week.

SLAVERY.

When first my bosom glow'd with hope,
Igaz'd as from mountain top
On some delightful plain;
But oh 1! how transient was the scene
It fled as though it had not been,
And all my hopes were vain.
How oft this tantalizing blaze
Has led me through deception's maze;
My friend became my foe
Then like plaintive dove i mour'nd,
To bitter all my sweets were turn'd,
And tears began to flow.
Why was the dawning Of my birth
Upon this vile, accused earth,
Which is but pain to me
Oh! that my soul had wing'd its fight,
When first l saw the morning light,
To worlds of liberty!
Come, melting Pity, from afar,
And break this vast, enormous bar
Between wretch and thee;
Purchase few short days Of time,
And bid vassal rise sublime
On wings Of liberty,
Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Mass.) 1828-1830, 1828-04-08

Is it because my skin is black,
That thou should'st be so dull and slack,
And scorn to set me free ?
Then let me hasten to the grave,
The only refuge for the slave,
Who mourns for liberty.
The wicked cease to trouble there
No more I'd languish or despair
The weary there can rest;
Oppression's voice is heard no more,
Drudg'ry, and pain, and toll are DER,
Yes there l shall be blest.

For the Lancaster Gaxette.

The following poems were written by a
young slave, nowresiding in North Carolina,
of the name of George Horton. He has had
no education, but having an ardent desire to
learn to read, he accomplished his purpose
by dint of steady perseverance, and at an
early period discovered that love of the mu-
ses which has triumphed over the bonds of
slavery, and the darkness and corruption
which seem their inseparable attendants.
He is unable to write, but possessing Won
derful memory composes the pieces, and re-
tains them in his head until he is able to
have them transcribed. The only leisure
time which he is able to devote to the cult
walton of his genius, and the pursuits which
he ardently loves, is at night, when worn
and wearied by the harassing and servile
tasks of the day.
1t is hoped that these circumstances will
give an interest to the illusions of this I'M
taught bard, who feels so deeply the degra-
dalton of the sable race to which he belongs.
The refinement and cultivation of mind
which is visible in his productions can only
be duly appreciated by those who have had
opportunities of contrasting it with the men,
tai darkness and moral depravity of his
brethren.
LIBERTY AND SLAVERY.
te Alas and am born for this
To wear this slavish chain?
Deprived of all created bliss,
Condemned to toll and pain.
How long have in bondage lain,
And languish'd to be free!
Alas and must still complain,
Deprived Of Liberty?
Oh, Heaven and is there no relief
This side the silent graveq
To crush the pain, to quell the grief
And anguish of a slave9
Come, Liberty! thou cheerful sound,
Roll through my ravish'd ears; J.,
Come, let my griefs in joys be drown'd,
And drive away my fears.
Say unto foul oppression, cease
We tyrants rage no more;
And let the joyful strains Of peace
Now bid the vassal roar.
Soar on the pinions Of the dove,
Which long has Good for thee,
And breath'd her notes from Afric's grove,
The notes Of Liberty.
Oh, Liberty thou golden prize,
So often sought by blood; ~
Icrave thy sacred sun to- rise,
The gift Of natures God.
Bid slavery hide her meagre face,
And barbarism fly.
scorn to see the sad disgrace
In which enslaved lie.
Dear Liberty! upon thy breast
languish to respire;
And like the swan unto her nest,
I'd to thy smiles retire.
Oh, best asylum; heavenly balm;
Unto thy bowers flee,
And in thy shades the storm shall calm,
With songs of Liberty.

On an appointed Gay they arranged
themselves in an apartment in the palace,
and the Emperor, with a golden apple
in his hand walked along to make his
choice. He remarked, aloud, in pass
ing, that woman had Eeen the cause OF
much evil in the world; and n young
lady, hoping to recommend herself By,
her wit and spirit. Immediately replied
that his Majesty must allow they had also
been the cause of much good.
The Emperor turned from his fair an
tagonist with dislike, and fixing his eyes
upon another, who seemed difident and
shrinking fiom notice, he placed the
golden apple in her hand, and selected
her for his wife. This was the famous
Thedora. She did moi deceive his choice
but was distinguished for her modesty
and prudence. On the death OF her hus.
band she was appointed Regent TO. he'

Quoted the affairs Of the empire.
