aient to saying, "Now Daniel give your
attention TO what l am going to tell you"
Perhaps l ought not to pass over the de-
ciaration of yours above, that Daniel had had
but one vision But Daniel expressly SAYS,
chap. vii, verse 1, "Daniel had dream
and risiOns (pIuraD of his head upon his
bed" &C.; and again, verse Is, " the
"Utstons Of my head troubled me-" Again,
chap. viii, verse l, he says, "a vision ap-
peared unto me, even unto me Daniel after
thatwhich Ihad at the first" know how you
explain the word after, but your assertion
wants proof. Be this as it may, Daniel had
had risiOnS. Besides, as / have before
stated, think it is evident that the last
mentioned days in Daniel began at the
close ole III 70 weeks, or when Jerusalem was
" trodden down" by the Romans, and the
daily sacrifice" was taken away. Hence,
for aught see, Daniel is in the dark about
the time of the end, or the end of these
things" after all the light you have thrown
upon this subject.
Let me now sum up what has been said
touching this point.
l. If my remarks are correct, then Daniel
might have understood very much about the
erents referred to in his visions, and yet
known nothing definitely about the time when
the events should be accomplished. (This
remark is true with regard 10 nearly all the
prophets. See Malachi, 3: l and 4: Is
Micah, d: lisa. 40: 4, &c. Kings, Is
H. &C., &C.,
g. 1t is evident that Daniel did not un-
derstand the angels answer 10 the question

wonders" those wonderful events foretold
to Daniel,--for he Immediately says, 81

3. Daniel is told to "go his way"-
when he asked, with much anxiety to know
what shall be the end of these things 7"-
verse Gas much as to say, "Daniel, asl
not concerning this, for you cannot know
4. The remarks of the angel following
concerning certain "days" do not (by your

NOTHING TO DO9


How is it, after all the light that has been
shed upon the subject Of slavery, that there
are so many among US, men whose ordinary
characters are worthy of all example,
tender, humane, quick to sympathize with
suffering, and to antici pate relief-why is
it, when we name the subject so vital to
the hopes of suffering millions, of such para
mount interest to the future peace and well
fare of our country-that the reply is, we
have nothing TO do with it2 The answer
is nigh, even in our own bosoms. IT'S
prejudice against the slave-towards his
whole race, kept alive BY an association of
ideas. AT the north he is nominally free
but its freedom with a vengeance. We
have been accustomed to view him only as
the object of ridicule and jest. We have
seen him living only in squalid ignorance
and poverty, within smoky novels, in back
fields, in hooks and corners, rude suburbs
and dirty lanes. He has been stored in all
the annals Of fun and waggery. Even age
has secured him no respect. Children have
Knocked him in the street, while his ear is
famiIiarized to the most ludicrous names.
Its effect has been to generate and foster a
sort of pride that disdains to acknowledge
him man, or to do him the common Offices
of a fellow being. 1t follows him night or
day, wherever he sets foot, even in that
common ground tor saint, sinner, poor, lame
and blind, the sanctuary. There he is
pushed, or looked away upon rustic seat,
almost out of doors, while he sees feels and
knows lie is the object of scarce single
thought or aspiration from him who minis
tiers at the altar. There's a language of
conduct which seems to admonish that
Being in whose presence all are assembled,
and who "made Of one blood all nations of
men "-that if He condescended TO be wor-
shipped by such black, deformed, degraded
animals-if in His kingdom they are to
shout an equal welcome, We should hardly
desire seat there. Our spirits are too
nicely tuned for such companionship.
This is the principle that sinks to the
level of the beast being appointed by his
Maker, the tit depository of an immortal
soul-this is the principle that has made
and would make him a slave down to his
latest generations-an object almost insur-
mountable and nought but deep, abiding
sense of the sin, cruelty and injustice we
have practiced, will lead to any sincere
repentance, any determinate action to re-
pair the mischiefs We have done him. A

Hunt further offered to escort Mrs Facey
there instanter. A carriage was according.

to the new boarding house, in Varick street.
Here Mrs. Facey remained for few DAYS,
during which Mr.. Hunt was constant VS.

cey had thus an opportunity of becoming
more intimately acquainted with, and more
fully appreciated the very mild, modest.

ISSUE OF SNAIL NOTES.

An intelligent correspondent in our last
paper stated that one of the schemes by
which Mr.. Biddle hoped To fix an irredeem,
able paper currency upon the farmers and
mechanics of pennsylvania, was, to get the
Legislature to allow all the banks to issue
notes under Eve dollars, and 10 have the
suspension permanently sanctioned by law.
As il regards the issue OF small notes, we
know that few petitions, printed upon
the same type and paper as the petition up
OF the same subject received from Philadel-
phisl have been presented to the Legisla-
ture. But we cannot bring ourselves to
believe that the measure. if brought before
the Legislature, could succeed. The people
Of this commonwealth have, with unprece-
dented unanimity, demanded the resumption
of specie payments--not the emission of
more rags. Ii therefore scarcely to be ex-
pected that their representatives would treat
ther demand with such a mockery of COM
pliance as to aulhorise measure so diaPet-
rically opposite TO resumption as the issue
OF small notes must be manifestly consider
ed. The only question which could be
presented to the members of the Legisla-
ture by the Introduction OF such a measure
into that body, is plain and simple one moi
susceptible ofmiseonstEnction. The people
ask for a resumption OF specie payments.
The banks, to defeat that measure, ask for
authority to issue small notes. Which pc
sition would have the highest claim upon
4he action Of the Legislature! The petition

THE FIRST SIGN.

The election for Commissioners Of the
District ofSouthwark Philadelphia county,
took place on Monday last, and resulted in
the choice of the democratic candidates by
large majorities in all the wards except the
9th, where the "peoples' ticket" as it was
termed, succeeded.
The Pennsylvania remarks that "the
result of this election is highly gratifying to
she democracy of the district, and is an evi-
dence that old democratic Southwark will
be found true to the cause, and will give a
large majority for Governor Porter in Oc-
tober next. ID.
The Columbia Democrat. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1837-1850, 1838-04-21

that the banks 81 Pennsylvania, lfthe state.
ments which they have furnished Of their
affairs be correct, are in condition to re-
sumo payment simultaneously with those of
New York. TO grant the boon now asked
would, therefore, not only authorize, but le-
galize, the continuance of the suspension,
and put off the day so anxiously desired
by the people, and so impefatively deman-
ded by the general interest of the county
for we presume no individual would have
the boIdness TO contend that an emission of
small notes would be a resumption of spe-
Gle payments. The people have asked for
general, not for 'fve-penny-bt' resump-
ton and our old democratic principles led
us TO think that their petitions are entitled to
the first consideration. We would not op-
press the banks, but when these institutions
are constantly boasting Of the soundness of
their condition, and when there is good rea-
son 10 believe they are able to meet their
engagements, we cannot see the propriety
of giving legislature sanction TO their past
delinquency, nor the excuse which could
be offered 10 the people for fixing upon
them an irredeemable paper currency ofthe
very worst description, in the emission of
small notes.
But il is folly to pretend to conceal the
true matter at issue. The whole question
resolves itself into this. The Bank of the
United States, with full knowledge of its
power to enforce compliance with its de-
crees, has through its President, (Mr Bid
dle) ordered the oAmerican banks In do
what the American army did at New Or
leans-stand fast behind their cotton bags,
until the enemy has left the country"
and the friends of that institution now come
forward and modestly ask to be furnished
with more paper ammunition to carry on
the political war which it has now openly
proclaimed against the general government
The legislature Of Pennsylvania will
not furnish its quota Of that ammunition b.

SILK.

We saw yesterday, at the Hall Of
the Franklin Institute, the machinery
so much lauded for winding and pre-
pairing silk. II was exceedingly neat
and simple. One piece took the silk
from the cocoons and wound il on
spools; these spoolS were placed in
another frame, and the silk was inn
medislely twisted into the common
servings; or, if required, the warp and
hlling were prepared. and little loom
thas at hand to weave the whole into
tqstrong and handsome fabric for la
dies dresses, or vest patterns.
The advantage Of this invention is
. e great simplicity Of the operation,

tfie cocoons to the spools, and the ease
and rapidity Of twisting and putting
into skeins the prepared thread.
We understand that the inventor is
