corpus was pronounced yesterday morning. in
the presence of as many persons as could possibly
find place in the Courtroom. What it would be
no one could form an opinion; and Of course it
was listened to with deep and profoundly silent
attention. We are enabled to place it before our
readers almost in the very words Of the learned
Judge who gave it.
The voice of freedom. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1839-1848, 1839-10-05

The following cheering extract is from letter
which we have recently received fron@>n intelli-
gent gentleman in Frederic CO. md Penn Free
man.
Whilst am writing would inform you that the
antl-savery cause is gaining ground in this sec
ton of the country. Three years ago an aboli-
zionist, an ANA gamationist, fanatic and insured.
ZIONIST were interchangeable terms, and an aboli-
ton paper would have been prodigy. But now,
antl-slavery papers are read regularly by our re-
spectacle and intelligent citizens. The persecu-
tons of the the abolitioniss, the death of Love-
Joy, the violation of the freedom of the press, the
burning of your Hall, the rejection of petitions
are beginning to have their legitimate effects, and
have in the very nature of things done more for
the promotion of the cause they were intended to
crush than the united efforts of its friends Thus
does God make the wrath of man TO praise Him.
But still the cause is unpopular: / probably am
making sacrifices in subscribing for your paper /;
there are many who would not risk their interests
by subscribing for anti-savery papers, who still
wish to read them, and the public mind is yet de
porably ignorant on the subject of human rights
We want light. The Colonization Society is one
of the strongest barriers in the way of abolition
principles, by afording rampant behind which
the secret friends of slavery (who would not advo-
cate the souldestroying system in all its arocity)
may fortify themselves.
But must close bid you God speed in
your glorious undertaking. You have done
much good. Already has a wound beed given
TO the monster which must prove fatal, if not per-
mtted to heal Be not discouraged if in the ag-
ony of the dying hour he should grasp his victim
still closer. Remember that on the efforts of the
friends liberty depends not only the happiness of
two millions and half of fellow beings, but also the
securing of our liberties, and the salvation of our
country
Yours in the cause of the slave

State Meeting.
Sec. of Executive Committee.

Shall there not be strong rally of the friends
of freedom at the State meeting on the 18th Of
October? The time is at hand, but if our friends
in every quarter will act in spirit worthy of them
selves, the meeting will be one Of thrilling inter
est. 1t is not important that delegates be formal
" chosen by societies, but there ought to be gen.
eral rally of the anti-slavery host. Subjects oil
grave Importance, having an important bearing on
the cause are to be discussed and decided. We
appeal with earnestness to our brethren residing
in this and adjacent counties, Those who live in
the neigbborhood of ant-slavery meetings, surely
ought not to fail of attending unless prevented by
a positive providential hindrance. Remember
remember the meeting on the 9Th of October.

Montpelier Temperance House.

Having had ample opportunity to test the char
actcr of Col, Carriers Temperance House, we can
confidently adopt the following commendatory par
agraph, from the last Rutland Herald:
We often hear about this season of the year, the
inquiry, who keeps the best public house at Mont
peIler? Now it is not always easy to understand
what meaning the inquirer himself affixes to the
word best: as it will admit ofvarious applications,
according to the habits temperament and circum-
stances of him who asks such question-neither
are we about to say which of all the public houses
at the seat of government is the best for on this
point even honest men might not exactly agree
Butthis much we will saw to all sober, sedate quiet
people, like ourselves, about to 60 to- Montpelier,
go to Carriers Temperance House. and if YOU do
not find as good a table. as good attendance, as
good beds and comfortable rooms, and as much
quiet as the particular circumstances usual at the
commencement of "the session" will admit, and
all upon fair terms at any other public house.
we are mistaken that's all.

known that neither are they calious to the claims
Of eternal Justice.


Of eternal Justice.
ORvMLE DEWEY.
"What if we were doomed to take the place of
those unfortunate men, who are now immured in
the prisons of neighboring city,--yes, and i'm
INJURED there for the very ACT which has rendered
our forefathcrs iluslrious-for drawing the saoord
for freedom We build the sepulchres of our ia
theirs, and incarcerate those who initiated them I!
And | know not but the abused freedom o. our
discussions, on kindred topic-abused alike
in the maintenance and in the resistance of them
has lessened the sensibilily which Just and
generous people ought to feel, to the affecting
case that is presented 10 us.
Let me then turn from the particular subject
of my discourse to speak Of it for a moment. A
company Of persons are torn from their homes
and sold to the man-stealer that ever prows about
the coast of unhappy Africa. Alas that the in
famous traffic should still prevaI,-nay, and with
increased extent and atrocity. These unhappy
persons thrust into the hold of slave-ship-trea-
ed with cruelty never inflicted on beass-suf
fer all the Undesirable horrors of the middle
paSSage-and at length, are landed upon I'M
known shore, far from their country, their chill
bred and their homes Their re-purchase in Ha-
vana, their change of masters, their conveyance
on board another ship alters not the case to them;
II is all one tSS oil wrong, last strengthening into
the bond of endless slavery. If the worm, trod
den on, will turn--if the insect, pressed by an
anwary hand, will sing-if the wild beast will
tear and rend to free himself from the hunters
tos-will not man, conscious of rig ht in his
bosom, rise against the injustice that binds him
to hopeless captivity 2 know not what the laws
of naions-what treaties and cornpacts may de-
mand-but know what humanity demands
what justice demands. And the man who will
not groan within himself if these already suffer
ing, wronged and injured beings must be sent
back to bloody death in Cuba, deserves not
himself to be free"
If,aGer this just and eloquent passage, we
were disposed to hold up to the scorn of our read
ers, one in all respects its opposite, would take
the leading article in last Evenings Star, where
in these men of the Amistad-black though they
be-that have "drawn the sword for freedom"
are treated as pirates and murderers and the
honorable sympathy manifested at Hartford in ia
vor of the oppressed, who, by their own right
arms, have broken their chains, is described as
calculated to make melancholy impression up
on the people of this country"
But Mr.. Dewey as a preacher of the gospel,
is honoraby laboring in his vocation, and the
STAR as the advertised friend of the South and its
peculiar institutions, is laboring in that which it
has chosen.

Important Testimony,

We have just had an interview with highly
respectable Baptist clergyman who has recently
returned from the South, after years sojourn in
the States of Virginia and North Carolina, Oul
friend has been in circumstances which enabled
him to make pretty extensive observation Of" Sa
very as it is" and to note the prevailing senti
ments of the more intelligent and influential men
in those States in reference to the great question
of the day We hope to have the opportunity ere
long, of publishing some interesting statements
from his own pen From the present interview
we feel warranted in laying down the following
propositions as the result of our informant's OBJ
servaons in the South.
l. That shareholders, especially professors OF
religion, are taking more lenient attitude on the
question Of abolition. The leaven of free princi
Piles is diffusng itself among the people.
2. AS general fact the Colonization enterprise
is sustained in Virginia and Carolina on the ground
that it is favorable to slavery and opposed to eman.
cipation. Our informant knows of no case for.
ming an exception this remark.
