Extract from letter dated, March %,
$751; am much pleased at the manly,
determined spirit of opposition, which you
rave manifested, against everY species of
rice and immortality. That you have enter
ID the field Of Moral Reform, as bold and
fearless champion of virtue, sobriety, NOR
ality and equal rights--,o assist in drying
up those numberless streams which have
hitherto flowed forth from their corrupt
fountain, inlbittering social, moral and reli-
gious enjoyment; destroying national pros

But none of your labo1s merit more praise
than those which have been directed against
slavery. Through the short vista Of fe1o
years, can distinctly see the bright dawn
ing of better day, whose glorious morn
shall bring freedom and happiness to AT
rica's abused sons, who have long been
taxed with toll aud doomed to severe labor,
and as remuneration receive the stripes
and curses Of unfeeling and relentless mas
