ANTI-SLAVERY.
ImpOr tnnt Testimony from the West
Indies.


We ask the attention Of our readers to
the interesting letter OF J. H. KimbaII,
ESQ Of Mew-Hampshlre, on our last page.
Will they also observe how small part
of this valuable and authentic information
finds It's way to the public through any
Anti-AboEtion press. We have in the
Emancipa'or, letter of more recent date,
covering the deliberate testimony of the
Wesleyan Conference, composed of "a
missionaries, from 10 different islands,
Mr.. X. says.-N Y Eran
"In publishing these resolutions, it
should be remembered that :hey are passed
by body Of men who are in the midst OF
the things about which they speak. Most
OF them were here sometime before eman-
clpatlon, and know all about slavery and
freedom. The chairman, Mr.. Cox, a
most intelligent and Christian man, is a
native of Bermuda, and has spent his
whole life in those islands. Mr.. Horne
has been here nearly twenty years-other'
have been here eleven years, others eight
and seven and FIVE, &c. Frazer and Hodge
are colored-the former is about to leave
for England on a mission, as mentioned
by me before. The resolutions were pass

WILLIAM SLADE.-Whereas we appended
u note to an article published in the Tele
graph Of the ED Of February; and where
as that note censured Mr.. Slade for his ST.
lence III Congress, while the rights o. his
constituents and Of human nature were vi
oloted. and the life OF American liberty was
nut in jeopardy before his eyes; justice re-
uuircs Us to say that he has published an ar
ticle in The National Intelligencer, which
has since come 10 hand, purporting to be the
substance Of what he had intended to say,
but was prevented, on the occasion of his
presenting diverse memorials, from his con-
stituents and others, Tor the abolition OF
slavery and the slave trade in the District
of Columbia.
If the account Of these memorials is with
IN reach, it shall appear in our next
In this connection, we take occasion tc
acknowledge the receipt of communication
from highly esteemed and greatly beloved
friend, asking place in the Telegraph fo
the above named article of Mr.. SIade's-alse
a letter Of Mr.. SHADES 10 our friend, on the
same subject. While it is extremely pain
full to US to disoblige our friend-especially
as he has so we'll met MIR. s., in remarks o
bis own, on one point-hc must excuse US i
we say, nay, to him, at present. We viii
think Of it. Our reasons for declining 4

the man who so wantonly and wicked J
abused US last fall, through the medium o
a hireling press and we choose not agair
TO condescend to be drawn into controversy
with that vulgar print.

RIGHT OF PErIT1oN.-In the House
|of Representatives, yesterlly, the follow
ing Resolutions, reported by Committee,
which we puhlishel the 4th of March)
ResoLUsd, That Congress does not pos
sess the constitutional power to interfere
with slavery within the limits of the re-
spective States.
RcsoIoed, That Congress does possess
the constitutional power to abolish slavery
within the District Of Columbia.
Resolrcd, That the foundat ion princi-
pies Of our political institutions, the honor
Of our country, and the peace of all, do
demand solemn consideration, by Con-
gress, Of the wisdom and effects of exer-
c ising the power aforesaid.
Resolved, That the right Of petition,
and Of free discussion, in regard 10 all
matters within the constitution al powers of
Congress, ought to be held sacred, and any
attempt to impair or abride it, should be
met with devoted frmness.
RcsOLrcd, That his Excellency the
Governor, be requested to transmit a copy
Of the foregoing Resolutions TO each OIL
our Senator'S and Representatives in Con
gress.
Mr.. Lcavett Of Boston moved TO strike
out the End resolution, which was cut of

The Resolutions to l6 against them.
The Resolutions are 10 be acted on BY
the Senate and will doubtless pass tha
body nearly il not quite unanimous y
,As Congress has ad burned, it would seem
proper that the last resolution should bt
amended, and the Governor requested tc
Transmit the Resolutions 10 the Governor!
of all the States. II is time for the fre'
states to avow their determination to stant
by free discussion and the right Of peti
lion. It's the unavoidable consequence,
Of the course pursued in Congress to sup
press both. These resolutions are anoth
er Of the fruits of the violence Of tn
South on Ssubject which would becom
powerIess in the hands Of all classes,
the advice Of Mr.. King of Georgia, ane
the doctrines Of Mrg Rives Of Va were
taken as the rule Of conduct for the South
Boston Press.
Well done Massachusetts! what will tn
New-York Courier and Enquirer think now
A few weeks since. it expressed the follow
ing wild opinion:
With the exception of the solitar
State Of Vermont, 1t is confidently belie0
cd there is not one in the Union who's
Legislature could be wrought upon t
make declaration in favor of even th
power OF Congress to emancipate tn
Blaves Of the District Of Columbia"
We would suggest to this noisy declaim
ngainst the rising cause of freedom, tn
stranger things have taken place and be,
recorded in the history of this changir
world, than that the Legislature of Il
Empire State" itself should pass simil
resolutions in less than three years.

error lies, we think, notin the Execu,

the Government. The correspondent
thinks that great evils arise from the
short term Of enlistment (three years.
from the absence of company Officers
on detached service-and from a Prac

OSEOLA.

This bold and crafty Indian, it seems
has at last been captured. Whether
he will long remain so is yet to be seen.
1t would appear from the frequent
power which our forces in Florida have
had over the Indians, and the frequen-
cy of their escapes from our hands,
again to renew their hostilities, that SO
disastrous an occurrence would, by this
time, have taught those in command, a
salutary lesson of watchfulness. But
the continued series of Encouragement,
neglect, delay, and every species of In
efficiency, which, without precedent in
the annals of ancient or modern war,
has characterized the struggle in deyo-
ted Florida, renders us little surprise at
any intelligence from that quarter. We
trust, however, that the period is now
approaching, when bloodshed and de.
vastation in that region shall come to
their long desired end.-TuscalooSa

From Florida, Powell a Prisoner.
The Savannah Georgian OF the Goth
inst, gives MS the gratifying intelligence
Of the capture of Powell, and eighty of
his warriors, which will, no doubt, un-
less they are again permitted to escape,
bring much more speedy close to the
tragical scenes in Florida, than other
wise could have been effected. This
intelligence reached Savannah on the
25th by an arrival from st. Augustine
The following extracts gives the partic-
ulars of the capture.

little objection, however, was the sole
impediment.-NeU Orleans Bee.
We have been informed by gentle
man who arrived yesterday in the
steamboat Pioneer, from New Orleans,
that on Thursday, report prevailed IN
that city, and was generally credlteo'
that one of the steamboats, employed IN
transporting the Indians to Arkansas,
had been run into by another boat, and
that 600 Indians persisted. We give
the report as we received it, but be-
lieve, should the accident prove to have
occurred, that the number Of lives said
to be lost. is greatly Overated.
Mobile Register.
After the above was in type, the
New Orleans Mail arrived with the pa
pers of yesterday morning, confirming
to some extent the report of this most
melancholy disaster. The Bee says {:
"The steamboat Warren reports that
on her passage down the river, having
in tow the ship Trenton, she came in
contact with the Monmouth Rad on
board at the time 600 Indians, 800 of
whom persisted in common with sever
al Of the hands belonging to the boat.
1t appears that the Monmouth was
struck about midships, and broken COM
pleteIy in too. The after part of the
boat drifted short time and then sunk.
The Trenton was somewhat injured by
the collision Of the two boats, living her
cut water carried away. The Warren
in company with the steamboats, Yazoo
and John Nelson, rendered every pos
sible assistance to the Monmouth.
We deeply deplore this dreadful ac-
cident which has precipitated into an
awful death, more than 800 unfortun-
ate beings, already driven by stern ne
cessity to abandon the homes of their
nativity, and seek unrestricted freedom
among the Prairies Of the distant
west."-Ib.
