From the Massachusetts .GboIitionist.

D@By the following letter from NJ. Saint An
thoine, a distinguished member ofthe French Alb
clifton Society, it will be seen that the cause OIL
the slave in the French colonies is considered tri.
umphant, and the battle of liberty won. His trib.
ute to M. Passy is, we believe, well deserved. His
name will be luminous on the page of French his
tory. Let American Shareholders look at it.
LETTER FROM FRANCE.
NY dear Sir,-While France progresses in its
efforts for the abolition Of Slavery, after the exam
pie of England, it is right to remind abolitionists
by whom she has been pressed in that road Of tar
dy Justice. 1t is necessary that the friends Of hu-
manitv, the defenders of the African race, know,
beyond the seas, to whom the negroes of the
French colonies are indebted for the destruction Of
their chains.
1t is to M. Passy, President Of the French So
ciety for abolition of slavery, late President of the
Chamber Of Deputies, and present Minister Of Fl
nance, and certainly one ofthe most eminentstates
man of the European cabinets. He was the first
who directed the attention of Parliament to this
question, and has supported it with his powerful
eloquence. He was the first to propose TO make
free all newly born children of slaves, and thus to
stihe slavery in its birth, as the abolition of the
traffic in slavas has destroyed in its reproduction
French c%olonies.) Generous proposition, which
recently brought the hyrocritical Indignation of
a deputy, and advocate, paid by the %colonists to
defend the morality of this n%efarious traffic. But
thanks to M. Passy, who was supported by a few
energetic friends of humanity, the whole social
edi6ce of colonies erected by avarice and %cupidity
will be annihilated. That posterity may find
them, in its remains, the name of one of the most
noble defenders of humanity, that it may shine in
its annals where are registered the glorious names
or Wilberforce and Clarkson.
While a new sun of August will announce the
complete emancipation to the negroes OF our colo
MES, believe it at that day they will inscribe with
gratitude the names of their benefactors on their
banners.
Receive, my dear sir, the renewed expression
of my high esteem, and most sympathetic senti-
ments.

To r. G. Phe'ps,-Dear Sir Il have used your COM

well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor,
as with a view of serving the cause of philanthropy from
a sense of duty | owe the public TO bearing my testimony
in favor of this-tLe worlds invaluable medicine.
Six years since, I suffered from a malady, pronounced by
the concurrent opinion of a council of physicians, a chron-
&c Inflammation Of the Liper and underwent a skilful
@trcurial treatment being confined for many months
and at length mainly restored to a tolerable degree of
health, though not without an apprehension that | should
be similarly afflicted. Ny fears have been but too well
confirmed by a recurrence of nearly all the symptoms of
this dreadful maiady the past sumrner when accidentally
| heard Of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
critics and characters, and their rapidly increasing celebri-
ty, resolved on trying them. Feeling as | did, a repug-
mace to resorting again to Calome!, and after Intellectually
and upsuccessfully trying other medicines protesting a
specific remedy for this complaint, L purchased a box of the
AIcssrs. Sands, Druggists corner William and Fulton streets

ny the box, a pamphlet containing a specification, direc-
tions, 81. | had not taken one box Of them before I hap
PLY experienced their healing efficacy and curative effects ;
and now that ! have given them a thorough trial, can
c~heerfulIy and unhesiatingly pronounce them the very
best remedy extant for any arrangement or affection of the
Liocr CT Spleen, Bilious affections, Pdlpitdtios Of the
Heart, or Dyspepsia in any of its forms also as a good
family medicine, are the best with which / am acquainted.
At my recommendation and solicitation many Of my

this as you please. Yours truly,

YAZOO COUNTY.

The political state of this county at present
has aroused much favor and excitement as
respects the result of the approaching cleo.
tons. The line of party distinctions is be-
coming more apparent every day-and the
interest exhibited on this particular subj, c, is
upbounded. It is partially owing to the
circumstance of the great democratic and
state rights parties, having first proposed and
contaminated a union of their might in this
county; union formed Of no bargain nor con.
ceived by the fraudulent intrigues of crafty
aspirants for prefelment and power, but one
based on principles and inspired by love
of liberty ard the constitution. Heretofore
the republicans hoped for no favors, contend
ed for little OF no strength, and had on many
instances neither candidates for Office, nor
the lightest expectation of any success in
the choice Of their nominations.
But at this day the scene is greatly changed,
the colors of whiggery that once waved so
proudly in Yazoo begin TO droop, and the
triumphat shout of the multitude secure o.
every victory, dwin6les into that small voice,
at the power and approach of advancing de-
mecracy.-The solcitude of the opposition
evidently shows this fact, and truly we be.
lieve they have every reason for it. For our
"troopes of friends" increase daily. come in
SO thick and fast, that we begin TO have no
doubt of the election of the republican ticket
of Yazoo.
