toe tomorrow What was the editor Of
The N. H. Observer, and his hundl ed Wig
liant eo-editors thinking of, when they
"reckIessly" sanctiontd the wild project
cfturning save loose all ut once? Why
did they not piously exhort the kidnapper
to repent at his leisure, century or two
hence?
But-they are not prepared for free
dom, yet. That is-,hey are not fit 10 60
10 the polls, or to become Governors and
Presidents. They should be kept in
slavery little longer, in order 10 become
qualified. Their liberty would be only
nominal, and do them no good, if they
can't be Presidents p
Here, again, the wild fanaticism' of
the overseers becomes conspicuous. Why
didn't they leave the coIored boy in slave
ry few years, in order TO prepare him
for freedom!
"Bvt-at is political duestion-and
Christians should never interfere with pol
tics"
And ifs'avery were allowed by the laws
OF New-Hampshire, it would have been
political question whether the coIored
boy should be emancipated or not. Would
the N. H. Observer ct al. in that case, be
silent about such high-handed viIIamy.'
"but-l: excltes anger and unkind
feeling.'
The N. H Observer says that sit should
excite the indignation of every freeman"
W hat an agitator! And all about one
little colored boy! If it were case of
two and half millions of men. women,
and children, with their posteri,y through
all coming time-the least attem pit to ex-
cite the indignation of every freeman -"
would be-" the wiIdness of fanaticism -
In conclusion, we are persuaded the
time is not far distant when the PEOPLE Of
the Y. States will be constrained to make
up their minds, on one side or the other
of this grand controversy, and take con-
slsent stand, some where. One Of the
three following results, we think, must of
necessity be adopted. They must either
concede-
|. That all slaveholding is "high.hond-
ed rllolny"-and consider and treat it ac-
co"dngIy or else,
2. They must come to the conclusion
that no cases of mansealing and kidnap-
ping ought to be condemned as criminal ::
or Else,
3. They must make out list of the
"classes and conditions of men, who NAV
ensIave' their equal brethren, and ho d
hem IN southern captivity" withou:
detrlment to their moral and relic ious char
acters, pointing out, at the same time,
WAT classes of persons shall not follow
'helr example, on pain of being branded
with "h'gh-h0nded ruIaiuy" If minis
'erS and church members are to compose
he privileged classes, the shortest wav OF
aver'lng the judgments of Heaven, and
WlP'ng out the national disgrace, will be.

THE NEW COLONIZATION PRESIDENT.
AS we pcedlcted. the American Colonial.
ton Society has again, the fourth time
elected a Shareholder for President
The papers inform US that Hon. Henry
Clay has been unanimously elected pre-
silent, in the place Of President Madison
deceased. Mr.. C. was one of the toun-
drrs of the Society, and has generally pre-
sided at It's meetings, and we presume
will be received as a competent witness
of its real object. The following avowaI
is from his note accepting the office of
president. We have italicised the Pit of
