THE AFRICANS OF THE AMIsTAD.

The decision OF the highest tribunal in our
county-that which summons to its bar not in
dviduals merely, or corporations, but whole states
even in their sovereignty, and whose judgement
there is no power ia the land to set aside or to re-.
sist-bestowing life and liberty upon The unfor
tunate Africans in whose history and fate so live
ly an interest has been felt for nearly two years,
will be hailed with honest and generous delight,
not only among us OF the North, but as we believe
by good men every where. That life and liberty
are restored to them will be subject of rejoicing,
we trust to the kindly hearts that beat under
Southern sun as well as those which have been
taught from childhood to wish that there was no
such thing as slavery.
And there seems almost Providcntal arrange.

hoaes and families is decreed. At the momen mt
when the way to Africa is declared open before

ments on the Western coast have been broken up;
one Of these, it we remember right, being the
very den through which they were passed to the
baracoons of Havana. If Blanco end Canot have
been effectualy and forever driven from their de-
testable trade, we may hope and believe that
there is safety for the new emaRcipaed blacks OF
the Amistad, and that their return will not be, as
we have heard predictions that it would be only
short.lived enjoyment OF freedom, soon to be fol.

What they may do to benefit and enlighten
their countrymen-what ability they may pos,

not undertake to say. But it is great and glo
rious triumph for humanity to know that their
freedom is achieved, that they are restored to the
possession of the rights which belong to them as
men-that they will again embrace their wives
and children-and that the universal law OF the
Creator has been yindicated, in its conflict with
the unjust and partial law of mans devisng,
which would set up power as the argument of

OIdridge's gsalm on Columbia.

This article first introduced into the New
York market about 20 years since, and from it's
superior virtues in reproducing hair when it has
fallen out, keeping the head free from dandruff "a
most loathsOme article on gentleman's coat col
lar) and giving sOfness and beautiful lustre I'M
known before to the hair, has induced some per-
sons TO get up and advertise many other articles for
the same purpose, none Of which stand the test of
trial, protesting most Of them do, to be oils of
various kinds, all Of which positively injuri-
Gus to the human hair. Let none be deceived, no
other article will make the hair grow rapidly and
of good quality but the Balm of Columbia, and
no article purporting to be the Balm Of Columbia
is genuine without the name of Comstock a. Co.
on the outside wrapper Some have been deceived
and obtained counterfeit article for the true and ge-
nuine Balm Of Columbia. Remember to look for the
name of Comsock & Co. on the wrapper, before
you purchase, and get none but the genuine. Don't
be deceived with the assurance that any without the
name of Comstock & Co., is made in the same way
and is just as good, all such pretentons are false
and known to be so by the Counterfeiters.

red by the oath of Mr.. Solomon Hays, has never

the right to prepare the said genuine Lini,nent,
which has established reputation for effectually
curing the Piles an every case, and in all the
rous stages of the complaint also Rheumatism,
Sore Throat Sprains, Bruises, Sores and Ulcers Of
long standing. All who have ever used it are high
ly pleased with its effects and all who are in need
of cures for any of the complaints metioned, are
respectfully requested to ask any who has ever
used it. And we refer with confidence to all who

and never failing cures.
LOOK OUT.
Some swinders have counterfeited this article,
and put it up with various devices. Do not be i'm
posed upon. One thing only will protect you--it
is the name of Comstock and Co., that name must
be always on the wrapper, or you are cheated. Do
not forget it.. Take this direction with you and
test by that, or never buy for it is impossible for
any other to be true or genuine.

THE DREAM OF LIFE,
ny P. A. P. BARNARD.

Twas but bubble, yet twas bright
And gaily danced along the stream
of life's wide torrent in the light
Of sunbeams sparkling--likea dream
Of heavens own bliss, for loyoliness--
For Aeetness, like passing thought;
And ever thus such hopes as these,
The tissue Of my life is wrought,
For have dreamed Of pleasure when
1s The sun of young existence smiled
Upon my hayward path, and then
Her promised sweets my heart beguiled;
But when came those sweets to sip,
They turned to gall upon my lip
Aud have dreamed of Friendship too,
For friend ship had thought was made
To be mans soace in the shade;
And glad him in the light, and so
madly thought to find friend
Whose soul with mine should sweetly
blend
And as two placid streams unite
And roll their waters in one bright
And tranquil current to the sea,
So might our happy spirits be
Borne onwared to eternity;
But he betrayed me; and with pain
woke to sleep to dream again.
And then dreamed of Love; and oil
The clustered visions Of the past
Seemed airy nothlngs to the last
Bright dream. 1t threw magical
Enchantment on existence--cast
A glory on my path so bright,
I seemed to breathe and feel its light;
But now thai bissful dream is DER
And have walked to dream no more
Beyond each distant glimmering star
That wrinkles in the arch above,
There is world of truth and love,
Which earth's vile passions never mar;
OH conld l snatch the eagles plumes,
And soar to that bright world away,
Which Gods own early light illumes,
With giories Of eternal day,
How gladly every lingering tie
That binds me down to earth I'd sever,
And leave for that blest home on high,
This hollow hearted world forever
