is supposed to be peculiarly indurated -
and he is no professor of religion. We
ardently hope that he may yet be obliged
by his conscience to take the same course
which has been adopted by Mr.. Birney,
DR.. Brisbane and others, and which has
caused the blessings of those who are
ready to perish to come upon them. Were
this gentleman to emancipate his slaves
the effect would be electrical.
Reader in view of the facts just MOTTO

so happily alludes, is doing its work in

SLAVES ENTANCIPATEDi

Mr.. Upthegrove, of South Carolina,
passed through this city few days since
on his way to Clinton Co., (whither we
recommended him to go,) with eleven col.
ored persons whom he had just emancipat-
ed. His object in bringing them to free
State and setting them free, was to save
them from falling into bad hands. Con-
science as well as humanity had some
thing to do in the matter. He is an old
man. rather poor-much attached to his
people-could not bear the idea of leaving
them-and had not the slightest idea that
they would ever suffer him to come to
want. Nor do we believe that they will.
On the same day on which he set his
slaves free, gentleman from Mississippi
emancipated FIVE. And some time during
the last week. thirty-seven colored persons
who had just been liberated in Tennessee
by the will of gentleman whose name
is unknown, passed through this place on
their way to Indiana.
A friend of ours was lately conversinr
with wealthy and highly respectable cit
izen of the South. He was conscience
smitten. No subject weighed more heav-
lily on his mind than that of slavery. He
was in the habit oftrealing his slaves like
father, which brought upon him much
persecution. What TO do he did not know.
He had heard of DR. Brisbane's course.
and pronounced it noble. This gentle
man lives in section of the South, where

And shall while sun, and moon, and stars, and earth

When chaos reigned, and darkness vailed thy face
And thou fast welded in its wild embrace:

And "morning stars its rapturous strains prolong-

While heavens high cOncave echoes back the sound

OBEDIENCE TO ORGANIC LAWS
When we see the children of good men
snatched away by death, in infancy or
youth, we should ascribe this solely to
these children having inherited feebly or
ganized bodies from their parents, or
having, through ignorance or improper
treatment, been led to infringe the organ
ic laws in their modes of life. The OBJ
ject of their death is to impress on the
spectators the unspeakable importance of
attending to these laws, and to prevent the
transmission of imperfect corporal sys-
TENS to future beings If we see the
children of the wicked fourishing in
health and yigor. the inference is, tina.
they have inherited strong constitutions
from their parents, and have not in their
own lives, seriousl y transgressed the or
ganic laws. We have no authority from
our philosophy, for supposing that Prov
ldence, in removing the just mans chill
dren, intends merely to try his faith or pa
tlence, to wean him from the world or,
that he does so with view to recompense
him hereafter for his suffering; nor for
believing that he permits the unjust mans
family to flourish, with view of aggra-
vating his guilt by adding ingrattude for
such blessings to his other iniquities, in
order to augment his punishment in fu-
ture life. We see in these results, simply
the consequences of obedience and disobe-
dience to the laws impressed by the Gre
apr on our constitution. Mark, now, from
what endless perplexities and difficulties
this principle delivers us.
