ARRIVAL OF THE GREAT WESTERN
,Sirtcen daVs later from EurOpe


The steam ship Great Western, Capt. Hoskin,
arrived early this morning from Bristol, which
place she left on the 23d of March, her regular
day. BY her we have London papers to the eve
ming of the god; also, Liverpool papers to the
same date.
The England, which left this port on the 2nd
of March, arrived at Liverpool on the 18th. She
carried out the Presidents Message relative to
the Northeastern boundary, and the "Memoran-
dunn or temporary arrangement, concluded at
Washington between the British Minister and
Mr.. Forsyth, Secretary Of State In short, at the
departure of the Great Western the British Co
vernment and people were III possession Of the
worst features of the case; yet they seem to have
received it with tolerable equanimity, and to have
anticipated no other than a pacific termination of
the dispute. The spirit of the Governments seen
in the annexed paragraph from the Morning
Chronicle; and as for the people, we learn
through British sub lect. who came passenger III
the Great Western, that they manifested very little
effervescence on the occasion. Even the Times
is adverse to war, and proposes compromise on
terms which, five understand them, Maine would
probably be ready to accede to.
The unusually long passage of the Great Yves
tern was occasioned by the prevalence of head
winds and heavy weather. For twelve days she
sea.
The letters from London all agree in saying
that the English Ministry are entirely averse tc
war, and that no serious apprehension is felt Of
such an event in the money circles, though the
possibility of such event had created a good
deal of caution.
The London Morning Chronicle Government
paper of March 2lst, says:
"The intelligence from the United States is,
upon the whole, Of a satisfactory character. Not
withstanding the disposition of the citizens Of
Maine and the apprehensions which portion OF
the American press entertains that some hasty
and inconsiderate proceedings Of that State may
lpreciptate events, we are strongly disposed to
lconfde in the Central Government, without
whose appreciation it is scarcely possible that a
general collision should take place. Where the
disposition is so manifestly good, we are justified
in anticipating peaceful issue"

Michigan.

Rev. E, O, Hall, from Western New York, on
his way to Indiana where he is to labour as agent
ofthe A. A. S. Society, stopped at Marshall Mich,
to attend the anniversary of the Michigan State
Anti-SIavery Society In hasty note dated
Marshall June s. he says
"The Anniversary of the Michigan State A.
S. Society has just closed at this place. The oc-
cason was an interesting one to the people of this
village. Considerable has been accomplished
the present year; and the Society made arrange'
ments at the present anniversary for the employ
ment of press, and provision for an agent to
push on the cause with vgor. There is no doubt
but an efficient agent would be well sustained by
the anti-slavery friends here; and it is the lnten'
ton of the Elk. Com. to write to the parent socle-
ty to Recommend suitable agent, and then to
employ and pay him."
We hope to have first rate agent ready to ems
ter the field in Michigan by the first of August or
soon after. But what is one agent in State as
large as Michigan? Our abolition brethren in
the State, especially those who are ministers of
the gospel, and other public speakers, must take
hold of the work in earnest and simultaneously, in
all parts OF the State.

For the Voice Of Freedom.

Mr.. EDITOR
However much it may be our duty to guard
against the prevalence of pernicious errors, and
although we may have frequent cause to lament
that our greatest and best men are liable to en-
brace principles which are contrary to reason and
revelation and which have an exceedingly hurtful
tendency, we are nevertheless bound to pay due
respect to age, wisdom, and talent, acquired by
perseverng industry, and exerted generally foi
the public good 1t betokens bad state OF soce.
ty, when young men lose their respect for age
and wisdom. An impression however, seems tc
have obtained, that man may say what he choo-
ses, and as he chooses, through the public jour.
nails, without any respect to a well-earned repua-
nowledged wisdom. Such notion deprecate.
If it is the object of public journals TO be vigant
for the rights of the people, they should, by all
means, be guardians of the public morals. But
yet | suppose even young man may express an
opinion relative to the views of any person, provi-
ded he does it in proper and becoming manner.
With these suggestions, send you few remarks
upon Mr.. Adams letter. Il can understand Mr.
Adams, he controverts his own principles. His
elucidation of the doctrines of the American Rev.
olution is remarkably clear and perspicuous.-
While we discover strong a tendency among
the leading men of the nation to depart from the
true principles of liberty while they preserve the
appellation of DEMOCRATIC, REPUBLICAN, and the
like, to decoy the unsuspicious people,-it affords
great consolation to know that there is at least one
who keeps in remembrance the true principles of
our free government. 1t is consolng thought,
that, while these principles have been widely de-
parted from in legislative enactments, even from
are yet remembered and cherished-and by one,
too, who is able to stamp them ndelibly upon our
national literature. Let Mr. Adams letter be
read-et it be studied and let it be carefully laid
away for future perusal There are, in my opin-
ion, glaring Inconsistencies in it; but they will do
but little injury, because he has placed them hard
by Interchangeable truths, brilliantly eucidated.
Mr. Adams adopts the doctrines of the Decla-
ration OF independence. He says" In the Dec
laration of Independence the natural equality of
mankind and the natural rights of man are decIa
red to be selfevident truths, and from these truths
is inferred, as equally self-evident, that govern
ments derive their just powers only from the con-
sent of the governed and that whenever any
form Of government becomes destructive of these
ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to a

From the Emancipation.
The National Convention.
i OUTS lTuIy,
JAMES G. BlRNEY.

Our editorial brethren are beginning to urge on
the attention of their readers the approaching Ma
tional Convention. Brother Whittier, in the
Pennsylvania Freeman, sounds noble call.
Such sentiments ought to meet a kindred response
in million of free hearts.
GREAT NATIONAL CONVENTION.
We invite attention to the article on our second
page, from the Emancipation, relative to this Con-
renton. With the exception, perhaps of the Con-
vention of 1888, which formed the American
Anti-Slavery Society, it must necessarily trans
cend in importance any meeting of abolitonists
which has ever been held in this country. We
trust it will be gathering worthy of the impor-
tant work to which it is summoned; and that from
its assembled talent and philanthropy, will pre-
sent slavery and its encroachments upon northern
liberty in colors as strong and delineaton as fear
full as those used by John Quincy Adams, in his
late letter. before the eyes of the American peo-
ple while at the same time it shall offer the
great and glorious remed y-show that all is not
lost--that the recuperative principle of our gov
eminent has not yet wholly pefished-that slave
nv may vet be peacefully abolished, by constitu-
tional means ;-and in the name orGod and human
ity summon all who value freedom for themselves,
all who love their country-all who believe that
righteousness exalteth nation, and that sin is a
reproach to any people, to come forth as one man
to apply the remedy"
This is the true spirit, and we hope it will bring
together body of men prepared to stand their
ground for freedom against all the seductions of
party, the delusions of interest, and the threats
of slavery and to act worthily as the advocates Of
republican liberty
John Quincy Adams has nobly pointed out the
dangers of liberty, but folds his hands in dispar,
and says there is no help. Let it be the Office of
the Convention to meet the crisis in manner
more worthy of freemen, and prepare to apply the
freeman's remedy--the ballot-box. If faithfully
administered, it will cure the servility of poti-
clans, and will put men in office who will admin
lister the government in the spirit of the Constiu-
ton--for the advancement of justice and liberty,
not for the protection and perpetuation of slave
ry.

The Committee mean to send some acceptable
agents into that field, as soon as they can be OBJ
