late the friends of free institutions that |
the doctrine of IMMEDIATE EMANc1PA
TON is now established on a basis from |
which it cannot be dislodged, either by
the malice of its enemies or the unfaith- |
fitness of its friends What few years
ago was wild. visionary and dangerous, is
now mere sober sense and common hon.
esty. While the human advocates of lib
erty have been arguing the safety of i'm
mediate disenthralment, (from the known
principles of our common nature,) God,
in his blessed providence, has worked out
the problem by the liberation from bond
age of 100000 slaves. The present year
has seen the keystone of this divine argu-
ment placed in its eternal home.
The organization of societies has ex-
tended itself during the year by the addi-
ton of SO4 new societies, making, in ad-
dition to the l346 reported last year, to-
tai of 1850.
The number of presses open 10 the dis
cussion of the subject Of slavery or avow-
: eddy advocating the freedom of the slaves,
has greatly increased during the year.
There are now nine weekly, one semi
monthly and four monthly papers mainly
if not exclusively devoted TO abolition. -
Aside from gratuitous distribution, these
: papers circulate to subscribers upwards Of
n Is, 600 copies per week. and receive a
e support from subscriptions to the amount
, of at least $4,000 per annuu..

This Is a royal octave volume of 500 pages
From a slight examination. am prepared to
entertain favorable opinion of the work. On
turning over the pages, research, diligence and
care are manifest on the face of them. A work
of the kind. properly prepared-as this in great
measure appears to be-must be useful. The
following among other notices of it are before me
NEw-ENGLAND GAzETTEER.--We
have examined with some care specimen
copy of Mr.. John Hayward's New-Eng-
land Gazetteer. 1t is no easy task to COL
lect and arrange the important facts and
statistics for a gazetteer, where the mate
rails are obtained from an almost illimia-
bic number of sources from which, works
ofthis description are usually made up
Some compilers throw together in chaot-
ic mass the materials thus afforded, with
very little regard to the accuracy of the
dates, taking upon trust whatever relates
to the subject matter in hand, that may
fall in their way. Such is not the course
pursued by Mr.. Hayward in the prepare
ton of his new gazetteer. He has not
only consulted volumes and local histories,
written letters. and availed himself of the
ordinary means of acquiring the requisite
information, but has performed long and
tedious journeys over almost every part
of the New England states, and by per-
sonal enquiry and observation. obtained
information that can be implicitly relied
upon for its freshness and accuracy
Heretofore but comparatively little en-
couragement has been given to geograph-
ical and statistical writers, and our gen.
eral and state governments have either
from a want OF due consideration of the
importance to our country of obtaining the
correct knowledge of those matters, OF
from penny-wise spirit of retrenchmen
and economy, neglected to adopt measures
for procuring valuable statistics of all The
various matters which pertain to the In.
creasing growth and greatness of oul
country, products and resources. France
has her national Geographer paid from
the public purse, and her Balbi, has fur
! nished our Americans with the material.
, for geography of their own county,
Mr. Hayward deserves the most substan
tial encouragement for his lndefatigable
exertions in this department of literature
and this, the best effort of his talent. en-
terprise, and industry, cannot fail of Sc
! curing a patronage as extensive as it
! merits are unequivocal. Every in;elli
gent New-Englander, whatever his bust
J ness or occupation. will find this work ex
eeedingly valuable. and almost indispensa
bic for work of daily reference. Tn

States of this Union, they are as peaeea.
BILE citizens as any other; and when lett
to manage the affairs of Government for
themselves, as in St. Domingo. they seem
10 get along with less difficulty than most
of the Spanish American States. There
is do danger in liberating them, nor any
difficulty anywhere, except the selt-lnter-
est of their masters; and even their inter
ests would probably be promoted by 1t;
Of which we hope they will soon be con-
WINGED. The fact is, that unless slavery
is soon abolished in the Southern States,
or the morals of the whites greatly i'm
proved, the two races will be mixed in all
the shades OF color. This amalgamation
goes on with masters and their female
slaves, or other white men and these
slaves, who have no characters to main
tain. There is very little illicit cohabita'
ton between whites and free blacks.
And yet these practical amalgamators and thei
apologists would have the people believe tina
amalgamation is identical with abolition. Direct.
the contrary is the fact Where there is one ANAL
gamation between whites and free cOlored peopl.
there are thousand amalgamations among white
and slares Contradict this who dare. And VIII
dare not, be ashamed to reiterate the foul charg
{ against abolition.

The readers Of the Telegraph will recollect that
the Legislature of Ohio recently enacted law,
making it highly penal for the inhabitants Of that
State to assist ugitves from slavery, in their fight
TO Canada. How it works will be seen by the fol-
lowing paragraphs:
