fee, by which engaged, to the best Of NY
ability, TO preserve, protect, and defend a..
constitution of the y. S. !" and for this, and
other reasons Of the most solemn character,
shall, on the QUO hand, cause every possible
facility consistent to law and Justice 10 be
given 10 the investigation Of specific tangible
charges, and on the other, shall repudate all
attempts TO invade the just rights Of the execu-

you will make no specific charges, or bring no
proof of such as shall be made, you and your
associates must be regarded by the good peo-
pie Of the U. s. as the authors of uniounded
calumnies, and the public servants whom you
have assaed will, in the estimation Of all
honorable men, stand fully acquitted.
In the mean time, cannot but express my
astonishment that members of Congress should
call for information as 70 the names OF persons
to whom contingent moneys are paid, and the
objects Of those payments, when there are six
standing committees, under the seventy -seventh
rule of the House of representatives, whose
special duties are to examine annually into all
the details Of these expenditures, in each of
the executive departments, The like remark
is APP )licable to some other branches Of the in
formation sought by you; ample details in re-
spect TO which are found in reports laid before
Congress, and now on your files, and 10 which
| recommend you 10 have recourse.

am contendng has recently been explained
away. Total has been explained TO mean par
tial, and immediate TO mean gradual, but the
motto of the Anti Slavery Society still remains
like n stumbling block in the way. A good
cause cannot need a motto which must be con-
tradicted in order to be sustained.
3. ! object TO the clam of power by Con-
gress to abolish the domestic slave trade
Congress, by the constitution, has power 10
regulaie-and regulate does not mean abolish,
any moio than keep means TO erpunge--com-
merce among the several states. Slaves, by
the several states in which slavery is permit
ted, are regarded by them as property, and
Congress can show no grant Of power in the
constitution to abolish or destroy this right Of
property. The object Of ths section Of the
constitution has no connection with slavery in
any manner.
a. object 10 joining in any crusade against
the American Colonization Society. May not
a colony of free blacks be established in Afri-
ca, and euen slavery be abolished in the United
States a! the same time 2 Why may not the
aboltionists let the colonizationists entirely a.
lone7 Tho objects Of both their societies are
in no manner inconsistent with each other
But the argument is, that Southern slavehol-
ders are the advocates of colonization. And
has it come TO this, that Shareholder may not
be permitted to do right, or that whatever he
does must consequently be wrong7
S. object 10 the formation Of Anti-Slavery
Societies in the Northern States US ridiculous
and unnecessary. For what purpose are they
needed The grand system Of associated NOR
al effort is both beautiful and sublime; but the
formation of unnecessary and foolish societies
has only tendency to destroy the Influence
of those that are needed. "But what Tenn
perance Societies were necessary to correct
public opinion OIL the subject Of temperance,
and these Societies are necessary TO correct
publick opinion at the North on tho subject Of
slavery" But Intemperance was an evil exist
ing in our midst, and Temperance Societies
were, and still are, necessary to remove it
but slavery exists not among us, and public
opinion at the North is already as much OPP
posed TO slavery as abolitionists can make it
An Anti-Slavery Society in Virginia might
possibly do some good, but here, in Vermont
it falls far below being respectable nonsense.

THE WRECK OF THE MEXICO.


Twas in the morning waich--a cherries morn
Keen smote the blast which herdlded the day,
When stout bark her crew with hardship worn,
Flashed toward her port, with none to point the
way;
Clear sreamed alort her lanterns signal ray,
But brought alas no pilots friendly hail;
The frequent gust a shower of frozen spray
Swept from the shrouds encascd in icy mail,
And scarce the shvering tars could raise the stiff
ened sail.
The humble inmates Of the crowded bcrths,
The richer few, who costlier touches presi,
Perchance were dreaming of the cheerful hearihs
Where, soon they hoped for welcome ana Tor rest;
Pcrchance of home, and those VINO made II Dlesi;
Long had they seen, with weary eye, the sun
Sink day by day into the landess west,
But now the boon they coveted was won,
The shore they sought was near, their travail well
nigh Gone.
The matron murmurei softly, in her Sleep
Ofprosperous days, and clasped her infant boy;
The maiden dreamed Of one who DER The deep

Hung round his neck too happy to be coy;

Which titled power could 1.-THE not, nor destroy
Aerial Hope all eyelids fluttcred round
And beckoned with her wings to Freedoms hallow-
ed ground
From such bles drcams if such were theirs, they
woke
To all that thought can picture Of despair;
High DER the bark the insaate ocean broke,
And death was in the paralysing air;
Oh. when tho remnant mercy degnedt ARE,
Safe from the bilging wreck were seer glide,
What were tho pangs Of those left he as there !!
With tossing arms they thronged the vessels side,

Rights of Colored Men in .Ne,c 70

Rights Of Coiored Men in .Ne,o York.
The House OF Assembly of this State on
Saturday last, by vote Of IA to % denied
the petition Of 25 colored men in Troy for
such an extension Of the Right OF suffrage
as would enable them 10 vote. AT pre- sent
only those colored men are PERMITTED 10
vote who own real property 10 the amount
of $3.50, and have resided three years with
in the State. The Albany Evening Jour
nal abiding to The debate on the petition
says:
'lt was commended by those who sustained
the motion TO reject, that the petition revi-
we'd The excitement that its object was agi-
tatOn and turmoil and that its conse-
quence would he anarchy and dsunion.
On the other, it was urged that this petit
ton had no relation to, or connection with
The question OF Slavery or Abolition; that
il came from free, though colored citizens;
that it was a question Of local policy with
which other States had no right to interfere,
than this State has to interfere with the
domestic policy Of those other States and
that this petition should be received and
treated in the same manner that other peli-
tions were received and treated
We trust that the friends OF The colored
man and of equal rights will use all suiia-
BILE meaures for the accomplishment Of the
objec, of The petitioners. The question of
the rights of our own colored citizens is
entirely distinct from that of the alb
clifton of slavery at the South, and it
is TO be lamented that the two subjects
should be 80 connected as to injure those
for whom, as all admit, we have right 10
legslae. We believe that thousands of
our most discreet citizens who disapprove
the measures OF the abolitionists, are still in
favor Of extending 10 the colored residents
of our own State all the rights and priv-
leges of free white men.
In our view they are far better entitled to
the right Of suffrage than large class OF
those who now enjoy il. In Massachuselts
ever since the adoption OF her constitution.
colored men have been entitled not only 3D.
vote, but 10 hold office and enjoy every OH
er privilege Of white men, and we have not
heard that an experience ofsiXty years has
shown that that ancient and well-regulated
commonwealth has ever sustained from this
cause any detrimeni.-.N York Observer.
