Let lis thank GOD, that i'll the immenSitv
of His works, in the innuherable objects Of
his creation, we have not been forgotten, but
sustained and provided for :-=That In eve
ry passing moment we have fresh evidence
that the goodness which called lis into life
at first; remains Unchanged That He hath
spared lis as people, from the destruction
that wasteth at monday, and the pestilence
that goeth abroad at midnight That the
past season has Brought forth an ample sup
ply of the fruits of the earth for man and
beast.
And while thus assembled, let a sense of
past and present ingratitude, so effect us as
to lead to holier and more earnest consecra-
ton of all our energies, both Of body and
mind, to his service.
Let us entreat our heavenly Father to
continue to us his bengnant smiles; to
watch over our interests, both as State and
Nation to preserve us from those evils which
may threaten to disturb the permanency of
our civil and religious institutions; to stay
the progress of ntehrerante and vice among
us; to remove from our land the sin of
slavery and injustice; to incline the hearts
Of the prosperous to alleviate and succor the
poor and distressed; and to prepare us right
ly to appreciate the blessings of religion,
vouchsafed in the gift of his son, JESUS
CHRIST; and finally so 10 direct all our
concerns, as to advance the interests of true
religion among men and thereby fit us for a
Just observance of the divine in junction of
doing unto others as we would they should
do unto us.

and it is difficult to conceive how those, that wear
his yoke, can bind the yoke of slavery upon their
brethren. Would they like to have such yoke
bound upon their own necks, or upon the hecks OF
of their children? Is this the way thew love
their neghbor? "Love workelh no i'll to his
neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the
law
The yoke, like the mark of the Beast indicates
clearly to whom it belongs. A yoke of iron
wreathcd and fastened with chains upon unwilling
necks, must be the yoke of despot, an appendage
of that kingdom, over which Satan, the God OF
this world reigns, and those who compel others to
wear thsiyoke, must belong to the god they serve.
" Ye are of your father, the devil and the works
Of your father we will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning and abode not in the truth. D
Can there be any union between this murderer
and Christ; can his yoke bear any resemblance to
the yoke Of Christ; can those that learn OF him
and imbibe his spirit have any part, with those
who take the yoke Of Christ, and learn of Him
who is meek and lowly? This question will one
day be answered.

been holding with nature in all her count
less shapes and rich variety, inclines man
to reflection, and leads to more intimate

remembrance of that Divine Goodness
which has so richly blessed him; and his
first offering, a tribute of Thanksgiving
to the Author of all mercies. How beft-

FOREIGN

The SLAVE TRADE.-The Queen of Portugal
Donna Maria, has published manifesto TO the
governments of Europe in relation TO the measures
proposed to be adopted by Great Britain for the
suppression of the slave trade. 1t is published in
Diario of Lisbon, Of the 26th ofAugust.
The measure proposed to be adopted by the
British government, ought to be taken into con-
sideration by the governments Of the two worlds.
1t is fragrant violation of the laws Of nations, as
it is direct attack upon the severe ignty and i'm
prescriptible rights Of every independent monar-
chy.
81 Her Majesty, resolved to maintain her rights
and the dignity of her crown, has thought it to be
her duty TO address the powers which signed the
treaty at Vienna as the firm supporters of the Eu-
ropean balance of power, and as the guarantees Of
the declaration, made at that Congress- that the fix
ing of the period when the slave trade should cease,
universally, should be the subject of negotiation
among the powers of Europe. This declaration
excludes all idea of abolishdg the slave trade by
coercive measures"
The immediate occasion or indncement of this
manifesto, was the act passed at the late session
of the British Parliament, authorizing British cruz
sers to search vessels, no matter under what flag,
suspected of being slavers. Our readers may re-
member that the Duke of Wellington and other

ly tend to cease misunderstanding andldisputcs
with other powers
But although the rigorous measures against the
slave-trade, about to be put in force by England,
are the direct cause of the manifesto we are in
clined to think that feeling of general hostility
has had some share in it. The friendship Of Por-
tugal for England has been for some time cooling,
indeed we may say almost ever since the accession
of Donna Maria. Certain commercial regulations
very strongly desired by England, and solicited
with much earnestness, have been as strongly OBJ
jected to by PORTUGAL, and as yet, we believe, de-
MED; and sundry other matters have arlsen from
time 10 time, to cause mutual dissatisfaction. In
a word we have been induced to anticipate for
some months past termination of the offensive
and defensive alliance so long subsisting between
G. Britain and Portugal as an event by no means
improbable Y Com. Adc.

For tho Voice of Freedom.

"For my yoke is easy and my burden is light"
Christ.
A yoke is the emblem, Or token of subsection
ana obedience, and he, who wears the yoke OF
another, does by so doing acknowledge the 9TH
er as his master, and engage to obey his COM
mandments. Subsection to Christ is always
voluntary, his requirements reasonable, and his
services profitable. Those, who take his yoke,
and learn of him, do find rest unto their souls.
How different is the yoke of slavery? This is
an iron-yoke, that gals the neck, and enters
into the soul 1t is wreathed and bound on the
necks of its unhappy subjects by violence, and
they wear it by consraint Its requirements are
unreasonable, oppressive and cruel. And in its
service there is no profit to the aborors. His tolls
are unrcquted. No regard is paid to his wishes,
his comfort, or his interest. He must labor, that
others may live at ease, and enjoy the fruit of
his abors. How mean, how cruel, and unjust is
the conduct Of the Shareholder. Because it is in
the power of his hands, he grinds the face Of the
poor, Expresses them, that have no helper, vegc.
tates by the sweat and blood of his BROTHER and
grows rich by violence, by robbing those, who have
reaped down his fields. In what respect is his
conduct more just, or honorable, than the conduct
of the footpad, or the robber? And why should
not the one, as well the other, be an object of
universal abhorrence7 Surely, if it be q crime
to take mans purse by violence, it must be a
much greater crime to take by violence his labor,
his soul and his body, all that be is, and all that he
has. Let the highminded, proud, and naughty
STAKEHOLDER, and his apologist, come forward and
look at that felon, who stole horse and is going
to the states prison, and show cause, if they can,
why the man-thief should not be condemned, as
we'll as the horse-thief and with him be shut up
in prison. Is it less crime against God or man,
to steal man, and use him as beast, than to
steal horse? "Justice is fallen in our streets and
equity cannot enter. Thus saith the Lord, for
three transgressions Israeli and for four will not
turn away punishment thereof: because they sold
the righteous for silver, and the poor for pair o!
shoes That pant after the dust of the earth on
d the head of the poot and turn aside the way Of
the meek and man and his father will 90 into
the same mad to prolane his holy name. Be-
hold am pressed under you, as cart is pressed
that is full of sheaves. Therefore the fight shall
perish from the swift, and the strong shall not
strengthen his force, whether shall the mighty de-
liver himself "-Amos l, 6. &C., Shall such awful
declarations sound in vain in the ears of the
stakeholder Well they may disregard them
stop their ears, and rush on regardless of conse-
quences. But verify there is God, who judg-
eth in the EARTH and although he bear long, he will
not always disregard the cry of the poor and op-
pressed.
If the yoke Of slavery is so unlike the yoke Of
Christ it can be no appendage of his kingdom,

ST. AUGUSTINE, E. F. Oct IL.
regret it is my painful duty to announce the
appearance of the fever so prevalent in the South
ern country. 1t has reached us about two weeks
and has gradually been spreading. Its character
is less malignant than that which has visited all
around US. Yesterday it was our lot to pay the
last rites eff sculpture to our Episcopal minister,
The Rev. Mr.. Henderson. Several other adults
have fallen victims to the disease, but its fatality
has been chiefly among children from two to
twelve years. We have had gale from N. n
E. and N. W.-this morning it is cold, with light
rain which, trust, may have u tendency to dispe
the gloom that hangs around US. Before me the
vessels in the harbor have their coors at half mast
sorry emblem of death. Two or three funerals
have this morning passed We know not who
may be next borne to the silent resting place of
death.
The is still likely continue ten years, unA
less government takes some decided step. Moth
ing but an overwhelming force can drive the H.
dams into one portion of the country and this ap-
pears to be the last chance left us. All endeavors
totbring matters to a reconciliation seem TO have
failed. Every manifestation ofpeace, and wish
to cease hosities, have been followed by new
schemes of treachery and murder. For long
time past we have been endeavoring to produce in
the mind Of the Indian feeling totally different
from what he has ever manifested, but all has
proved fruitless.
