Genius Of Universal characterization. of
Aug. 23d, brings the melancholy int ELI
gence OF the death Of this veteran pioneer
IN the cause ofnegro emancipation. Mr..
Lundy "as the editor ofthe above named

shaved of our land, led him to make manv
and great sacrifices during the last eigh-
teen years, in the work of their disenthraI-

paragraph :-Zion's Herald.
Honor to his name and labors. and
rest to his departed spirit When those
who are now called great on earth-he
roes whose course has been marked with
blood and misery-shall perish from the
memory of men, and fade from the page
of history, or be remembered in the lapse
oftime as the presiding spirits ofthe events
of horror then will his humble course of
life be marked with beams of light i'm
perlshable-his unassuming spirit shall
meet with its rich reward-and the lame
OF him who lived for others good, whose
glory was not in the battlefield, but whose
empire was the human heart, shall be
crowned with an unfading wreath, by a !
world redeemed from bondage.
