The herald., 1837-05-10

they alone have sent nsslonares to the four quarters
OF the earth oconvert the benghted heather, many
of whom, and the most dsinterested and devoted,
have been beautiful, delicate, and intellectual women.
Mrs. Judson, the accomplished missionary to Bur
nah, is destined to Immortality. 1t is not the men
who are foremost in these objects-they too self
ishoo fond of their inter:sts-to make sacrifices for
the welfare of others. As to the clergy and lecturers
they get their living by self denial. 1t is for their
interest to give up their interests for the good of
Others and the ladies patronze them.
It is magnificent sight to see large church filled
with beautiful women. 1t is beautiful sight to see
their eyes sparkling with enthusiasm, and their rosy
cheeks mantling with the warm glow of charity
Though the object be black or white, Otahean or
Hotentot, right or wrong, feasible or chmerical,
woman philanthrophy is beautiful. But abolition
is no 60. We have something else TO attend to-
The negroes take care OF themselves and be as
happy-as they where they are, for the present,
for their Northern friends have much they can
do to find bread for themselves and their Children
The flaming reports the hacknled speeches, the dole
full stories Of the abolition leaders, sink poweress to
the ground. When we were fat and well to ve and
wanted excitement and were at a loss how to spend
time, and money, and energies, anti-slavery and
every kind of anti hourished, but now-the case is
different
HERALD BuLLETIS-BANKs, &c.-At No. 81 Ann
street. we have the best bulletin of news in the city,
1t is daily prepared and made up by young gentle
man Of capacity, industry, and accurate knowledge
on the subject. Brief notices of arrivals, foreign news,
local news, accidents, every thing, are found on
bulletin the very earliest moment they are known.
Thus we mean to make Ann street greater CEN
trc of foreign and domestic than Wall street.
To begin the revolution, we shall henceforth call II
Little Wall street. Why not? We have lawyers,
brokers' auctioneers, and even banks in abundance.
OF our Little Wall street banks we REFER for full
information, to the proprietors of the New Era. We
merely say that the Little Wall street banks do
large business in their way-thcy deal not in credit
they shave indeed and even merchants, but they
lose nothing by the system. The Ann street bankers
are generally honest and vrtuous as those of Wall
street are. They pay their debts, and that is more
than some OF their rivals down town do. The only
difference is in the name-in Wall street they arc
called the Safety Fund Bank League-in Ann street
they are called the Faro Bank Confederacy. But
both are equally institutions Of great and
great sin.

the time being arrived when the cord that bound hem
