THE SUNSHINE OF THE HEART,

THE SUNSHINE OF THE HEART,
Tho sunshine Of the heart be mine;
Which beams charm around;
Where'er it sheds its ray divine,
Is all enchanted ground
No fend of care
May enter there
Though fate employ her art;
Her darkest powers all bow to thine,
Bright sunshine Of the heart!
Beneath the splendor of the ray
How lovely all is made;
Bright fountains in the desert play,
And palm trees cast their shade,
Thy morning light
Is rosy bright,
And when thy beams depart,
Still glows with charms thy latest ray,
Sweet sunshine of the heart!

ON THE SUBJECT OF ULTRAIsM, let US not be mis-
understood. With the honest aboitionst we have
no quarrclQ) The quakars of the middle states
have ever been, literally, abotonists, yet they
have never presumed to obtrude their opinions in
to the political arena. They have never made
the adoption of their creed the indispensable quail
fcation of a candidate for office. They erected
no inquisition, They never sent forth their for
mula as two edged sword, piercing to the divid-
ing asunder of social, religious and political COM
munites, Their practice has been consistent with
peace and good will.(2) On the abstract question
ion among the people of New England, (3) There
are none who would introduce the institution of
slavery into his own county-none, who would
prefer residence in state where it exists 3d.
none, who do not most sincerely desire to see it
extnguished.(5) But we find ourselves citizens
of government, which recognized slavery, as it
existed IN several of the states, at the time of the
formation of that government and can we, and
is it our duty, as members of that great body pol
itic to set in motion or promote system of means,
the aim Of which is to effect fragrant violation of
our political compact and perhaps lead 10 butchery
and bloodshed, such as have only been witnessed
in Hayti ?(6) 1t is in view of such fearful con-
summation, that we have been induced to make
any remarks on lnlS SuDJeCt we are July aware
that in respects, it is delicate one and sub
ects any paper that ventures upon it to the wrath
and evil speaking of such vituperative publications
as The Liberrtor," of journals which, tho they
profess only to be dictated by spirit of benevo-
lence and humanity, will, not incidentally bit IN
temtiona1y, seek to hold the balance in eOery polit
ical election in the country is to this spirit that
we obiect.(N We do it honestly, in the conscien
tious belief that it is the spirit of mischief and
dissention. The first effect of its operation will
be to divide the political party which it fastens
and the ultimate effect todvde the union,(8) IT,
therefore, we, liz future, speak of abolitionism UNI
der the head Of U1traism we shall mean political
abolitionism, nothing more or less. There GER
tanly would not be so much industry in regulating
mems opinions, merely for opinions sake, Some
thing practical is expected from it. With the hon
est aboitionsts the practical result expected is the
extinction of slavery with the crafty, politica
distinction is the aim. In the propagation Of the
doctrine, men become fanutical and hence the ten
dency to ULrRAsM.(9)

We find in the last Chronicle what purports to
be part Of communication to that paper, as fol-
lows:
To The Editor Of the Vermont Chronicle:
There is an article in the " Voice of Freedom"
OF March I'd, to this effect =" A minister of YER
mont was lately advised by an aged Colonization
list to let Abolition alone and attend to his appro-
pirate work-preaching the Gospel The old gen.
tleman was reminded that the gospel was to preach
dellverance to the captive and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound" 1t is thought by
many here to be hard rub on me- as it is known
by some that had conversation with Mr. Seelv
did not advise, but in the most humble way that
was possible for me, did have conversation with
him, q trust it was done with true desire for his
good, the good of souls and the glory of God
Now it was not once thought of by me that could
be set up at this late hour for public scott for he
told me that he was not then engaged as an agent,
and did not know that he should be. In answer
to the above remark asked him if he would not
obey better to preach to the captives themselves,
and those that kept them bound, &c. &c.
Thus far we copy; although we would rather,
in such case, have the whole truth appear where
the halfruth did.-Editor Of Chronicle
alt is thought by many here [where?] to be a
hard rub on me, [who?] as it is known by some
that had conversation with Mr.. Seely." Indeed
Well, then we beg to relieve the disturbed cores
pendent of Chronicle by saying, that the article
IN the Voice of Freedom of March I'd, was written
and published without the least reference to him
self or Mr. Seely-indeed, we suppose "an aged
Colonizationist" and Mr.. Seely were something
like 100 miles apart at the time of the conversation
referred to! Still, lit is thought by many to be
hard rub on me-"

so full of artless jealousy is guilt,
1t spills itself in fearing to be split"


The Vermont Bible Society has recently re-
ceived Circular from the Parent Institution at
New York, in which it is represented, that " in
the course of the current year, beginning with
May last, applications in unusual numbers have
been presented to the American Bible Society for
means to publish the Scriptures in foreign coun-
tries. These applications have come from Russia,
Turkey Syria, Persia Madras, Ceyon. Northern
India, China, Sandwich Islands, and from two Of
the tribes of our aborigines. The amount of Pc
cuniary aid thus called for is little less than $50,
900, aside from what's required print the French,
German and Portuguese Scriptures in New ork.
After full and careful examination of these va
rous wants, the Board of Managers, at their last
meeting, made appropriations of $4,000 towards
meeting the same, to be paid out of the earliest
unapproprated funds They then adopted, with
great unanimity, the following preamble and reso-
luton:
In view of the large amount of grants now
made, the urgent necessities of the several Mis-
sionry Boards, Qor means to print the Scrptures)
and the low state of funds in our treasury,
Resolved, that a suitable Circular to our auxil-
lares be prepared, setting forth our condition, and
urging them to extend their aid, as early and as
far as may be in their power"
The circular, of which the foregoing is an ex-
tract, was laid before the Directors of the Vermont
Bible Society," at special meeting, March 11th,
and upon full consideration it was unanimously
voted to address circular 10 the friends of the BIZ
bic Cause throughout the State, covering the sub
stance of the communication from the Parent Insti-
tuition, and inviting such action thereon as the ex-
lgences of the present juncture seem to demand.
1t should be understood that the State Society
has, at present, no agent in its service: it must
therefore rest with the local societies. and individ-
lal friends of the cause to say with what measure
Of liberality this obviously urgent call shall be
met.
1t is respectfully requested, that the clergy, of
al denominations, will present the claims of the
Bible Cause to their several congregations, and
AXE collections in its aid on some Sabbath before
he 18th Of April, that the result may be commu-
heated before the annual meeting in May.

A Mistake Corrected.

Mr.. EDITOR In the Vermont Chronicle, Jan
9th, report is given of Mr.. Cresson's third Lee
ture, at the close of which he says: "Moses was
the first colonizationist, and that Nehemiah was
president Of the next colonization society,"" This
is rather curious assertion for wise and honest
man to make have supposed, that we might
find colonies and colonizatonists at much earlier
period. Gen. 4, 16, we read" And Cain went
out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in
the land o Nod, on the east of Eden" and he
huilded city, and called the name of the city af-
ter the name of his son Enoch. Here was col
ony, and its first president was Cain, who slew
his brother. In the tenth chapter of Genesis, it is
said of the sons of Japhet-" By these were the
isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands every
one after his tongue, after their families in their
nations" All these were different colonies plan-
ted by leading colonizatonists, In the same chap
ter we have an account of the various colonies
that were planted by the sons of Ham, and the

Letter from Hon. william slade.
To the Editor ofthe Voice Of Freedom

Letter from Hon. william Si""e'
To the Editor ofthe Voice Of Freedom:
Sri observe that it is stated in your paper
on the authority of an anti-slavery friend who had
been at Washington, that when | lose in my place
TO offer the Resolutions relative to the driving Of
slaves by the capitol, member from South Caro-
lima stepped forward in front of me, and brandish
ing his fist menacngy cried out-"ofer those res
olutions if you dare-with your State at your
back"
1t seems TO me TO be due to truth that | should
say that your informant is mistaken. No one
brandished his fist in my presence; nor did hear
the language which it is said accompanied the me-
mace. The Clerk had proceeded in reading the
preamble to my resolutions only far enough 10 dis
close its alusion to slavery, when the cry of" or
der" arose from several parts of the Hall, and con-
siderable confusion followed-in the midst Of
which, the language alluded to by your informant
or something like it, was, probably, used. But it
did not reach my ear. Such language, and such
a menace, however, are in perfect keeping with
the spirit manifested towards me on that occasion
but am unwilling that the House of Represen-
tatves should be held responsible before the coun-
try for permitting such direct and fragrant breach
of order and of personal privilege, in its pre-
sence, as your informant supposes was committed
in this case. Strong as is the disposition to brow
beat, and put down, those who, as the Representa-
tves freemen, speak out on the subject of slave
tho is
when the Halls of Congress shall be disgraced by
such menace as your informant describes. But
if that time must come, trust it will find not few
Representatives from the free States of this Union,
who, regardless of reproaches, threats, menaces
and danger, will do their duty, and their whole
duy, to the suffering slave and the country, and
teach the South that the people ofthe North know
their rights, and knowing, dare maintain" them.
I am, respectfully yours,
WILLIAM SLADE.

1t was not until we had penncd the statement,
submitted it to our informant and obtained his ac
of its correctness, that we adven-
tured to publish so singular specimen of Con-
gressional etiquette. The Caronian is entitled
to the full benefit of Mr.. SHADES explanatory note,
which we insert with pleasure We may add,
however, that according to our informant-who,
by the way, is incapable of designed misrepresen-
menace was uttered in the hearing of
one of the Vermont delegation The man who
could utter such menace in Congress Hall should
provide himself with rope and go to Texas, or
be sent to Liberia with his own consent on long
probation. At the rate we are getting on, the
time may come when free state Representative
will be required to take off his shoes before our
pa'rarchs after the manner of Billy
Eaton before the Dey of Algi ers.

SLAVE TRADE.-Letters from Rio Janeiro da-
ted a couple of months since, mention that there
were at that time in port hrty-siX fast sailing
sells, fitting out for the detestabIe traffic in slaves,
as openly as GOLFERS in the Thames. In the
month of January last, into the port of Rio alone,
1912 slaves were brought in three ships; and in
the month of February, 1857 slaves were brought
in ten ships. As the destruction Of life in these
voyages owning to the strict precautions used a.
gainst capture, is seldom less than one half these
transactions for one Brazilian port, aud during
two months only, involve the sacrifice OF more
than $4,000 human beings.

which furnishes magnetic power already appHca,
BILE and useful for many purposes Ihe motive
wheel of this machine is five feet in diameter,
weighing about four hundred pounds, and the
magnets, when under the action of galvanism,
cause it to revolve forty or fifty times in minute,
for many hours in successiou.-N Nothing can be
simpler than the operation of this machine, which
is on plan entiry new, and quite different from
that of the machines propelled by this power
which have heretofore been exhibited to the public.
The vivid sparks of electricity which are
constantly emitted, while this engine is in motion,
bear evidence to the tremendous energy of the
power now brought under the control of man for
useful purposes of life.
No reason can be assigned, we believe, why
this power cannot be increased indefinitely. In
calculabe benefit would be conferred upon society
by the discovery of this new and simple mechan-
ical puwer if it were only available from that of a
single man to that Of one or two horses, where
the employment of steam is dangerous and extern

For the Voice of Freedom.

Mr.. KNAPP:
Dear Sir,-In the debates of the National
Convention, the question may come up, How
should churches, that believe slavery is sinful,
treat men and churches that uphold slavery and
do hope that they will pass decidedly on this
question. For if slavery is sinful, it must be a
sin most abhorrent to God and man. And those
must be condemned out of their own mouths, who
hold Christian fellowship with men who uphold
system of iniquity. They become partakers in
other mems sins-justfy the wicked, and strength
en- the hands of the ungodly. And shall such
conduct be tolerated in the church of God In
fdels may well sheer at such inconsistency, and
question the honesty of those who urge them to
renounce their infdelity, and at the same time
hold in Christian fellowship men who uphold the
system of American slavery.
| suppose we should rebuke our Southern breth-
ren-deal with them kindly, but fathfully-and
if they will not repent, but persist in their sin,
then withdraw and have no fellowship with them.
Come out Of her my people, that ye partake not
of her plaques"
How would it do to call at some future time
convention, to be composed of delegates from
churches of all denominations, that refuse fellow
ship with slavery, to consult, and combine their
efforts to drive the monster from the church, or at
least, to separate the precious from the vile /? X
