And hide the fault see.o .H
Gentlemen-I regret very much that any mis-
understanding should have taken place between
etors Of your paper, and the more SO, because the
former is an abolitionist and the latter colored
man.
| have hitherto inferred from the position assum-
ed and the professions made by that party that they
would have us confidently believe them the only
friends we have among the whites, but it appears
to me from what have seen in the " Tocsin" of
the 10th and 26th ult., that my conclusions have
been wrong, or that | misunderstood the manner
in which friendship should be demonstrated. II,
then, my conclusions have been formed IN error,
and the principles advocated and disseminated by
-abolitonists contain :" more than meets the eye"
candidly believe, that after few more exhibit
tons such as that alluded to above, my vision
will become clear, that shall be able to see
deeper into the whole ubject
But perhaps the question will be asked, shall an
aboltonist hide the faults of man simply because
he is colored | reply, yes; and until he has
made every effort in his power to convince him
thereof, it should be subject known only to God
and themselves. The professions Of friendship so
repeatedly made, and especially by the organs of
the abolition party should be made practical when
ever those to whom it is profered are liable to
suffer without it's interposion; and if that aboli-
ZIONIST is professor of the christian religion, or,
more especially if he is minister at the holy al
tar, is he expected to show that spirit of forbear-
ance and mercy, of meekness and charity, which
are the fruits of the spirit of love.
The declared purpose of the abolitonist is, to
convince the people that they have injured US
without occasion; that the rejudice insult and
detraction heaped upon us, and under which
we suffer, are sins which cry aloud to the God Of
nations for vengeance; and that unless they speed
lily repent, the impending sword Of eternal justice
will fall heavily upon them. Now, if these asser-
tions Of theirs be rue and they willing to suf-
fer canmny and persecution for US, how shall we
reconcile such assertions with that apparent eager
ness, with which every misdemeanor, whether
imaginary or otherwise, is embraced, and indus
triously promulgated, not only verbally, but with
the pen Of malignity, to render us in the eyes OF
Others unworthy of those rights for which we
contend.
1t is well known, and especially to abolitionists,
that as people we are so linked together, that
whatever Injuries one, morally Injuries the whole,
and therefore, it becomes US to watch over each
others moral interests with jealous eye.
1t is not my aim to vindicate the character OF
Mr.. M, as consider him fully competent for that
purpose, but aim to strike at the principle shown
in the articles alluded to, and to show in what
light such things regarded by colored men.

A WEAK EFFORT.
Albany, Feb. |.

There are some few that attempt to justify
themselves in the moderate use Of ardent spirits
BY the example of good men some few years ago.
But if these good men referred to, had the light
that il enjoyed by this generation on the nature
and tendency of these things, would they have
used them /? By no means. And then, as to the
principle Of persisting in practice because good

White Steed Of the Prairiss.-Mr. Ken
dali, Of the New Orleans Plcayune, is
giving some account Of what he saw and
suffered in his late expedition towards
Santa Fe, which ras'ilted in imprisonment
at Mexico. After noticing 1oeks Of smsN
white horses in the Prairies, he adds the
following:
Many stories are told Of large white
horses that has been seen often in the
vicinity Of the Cross Timbers and near
the Red River. Hehas never been known
to gallop, but PAGES even faster than any
horse that has been sent out after him can
run; and so game and untiring is the,
White Sized Of the Prriries,' for be is we'll
known TO tfappers and traders BY that
name, that he has tired down no less than
three race nags sent out expressly TO catch
him with Mexican rider The latter
had nothing but iasso or iarioi with him,
long rope made either OF horse hair or
hemp, and which the Mexicans throw with
great dexterity but although he took q
fresh horses after firing one down he was.
never near enough the noble animal 10
throw slip-noose over lis head, or even
10 drive him into a center.
| lie has been know to pace mile in less
than two minutes and can keep up this run
hour alter hour, or mil he has tired down
whatever may be in chase. Large sums
have been offered to any one who would
catch him, aud the attempt has frequently
been made ;but he still roams bis native
pralrles in freedom, solitary and nlone.-
One oil the hunters even went so far as TO
tell me that he was too proud to be seen in
company with the other mustangs being a
beautiful animal Of far better action than
those Of his race but this part Of the story
l could not make it convenient to believe
at the time.'

LATE FROM TEXAS.

Houston files to the 9TH inst. have been
received at N. Orleans. The Texan
Congress has convened at Houston. The
Presidents message was delivered on the
29th ult. The Picayune says, after briefly
reviewing the incursion of the Mexicans
and his own course relative to the prepare
tons for an offensive war, he submits the
whole matter to the discretion of Congress,
recommending especially to their favorable
notice the national navy.
Nothing Of Importance had been done
by Congress up to the 18th,
A correspondent of the Galveston Civil
ian, at Corpus Christi, writes on 22d June
as follows
There was an arrival few DAYS ago
from Reynosa, Of three Americans and o
hexican.-By these men we learn that it
is Arista's intention to make his head-quar-
tiers at Mier with 5000 men-also, that
the number of men at Matamoras does
not exceed 1000. These statements l
believe to be nearly correct.
Several small parties of Indians have
recently committed depredations on the
northern frontier. In the conflicts that
ensued between them and the citizens
lives have been lost on both sides.-Col.
Patton was lately murdered near his plan
tation in the vincinity Of Bexar. 1t is
supposed that'the murderers were some of
the disafected Mexicans. The son of Mr..
Antonia Navarro. was recently very dan

she could find a friend among these peoplel
The two ladies who had just entered, al
though but a small part of their countenance
was to be seen, yet appeared SO plain, 50
noble looking, and SO ullassuming that she
resolved, when the proper time arrived, 10
open her heart to them, and trust to the
sympathy natural TO her sex to plead in her
favor. =.
After the whole party had become seated
Captain Wynthrop drew a chair near to
General Carrington's, and observed, "Your
unexpected arrival, General, has rather put
an extinguis her upon the expected hilarity
of ou- little party. One Of his Majesty's Of
ficers Sergeant Swivel, sir, introducing him,
:. and this young lady. who has been
brought up in my house, were about TO be
united in the bonds of matrimony. But,
sir, as they both reside with me, we can
defer the ceremony until another time"
by no means, Captain" said General
Darlington. "Let it not be postponed on
our account"
1.-The lady, sir" replied the Captain,
''has never associated with good society,"
Besides, sir. she is subject 10 uncommon
fits Of nervous depression, approaching al
most TO madness, especially, when appear
ing before strangers. i would not expose
her, sir, on the present OCCASION"
"She has nothing to fear from us, l do
assure you," replied the General, as he
looked encouragingly towards Lucy. 81
insist Captain that the ceremony proceed"
The clergyman now arose, and seconded
the motion Of the General 10 proceed with
the marriage rites, and lhe other gentlemen
present, especially those Of General Car
rington's suite, joined in the request, and
Captain Wynthrop al last though with con-
siderable reluctance, consented.
The preparatory forms and ceremonies
had now been gone through, and Sergeant
Swivel with Lucy, trembling like an aspen
leaf, by his side, stood before the minister.
The large Bible had been closed, and the
all important rite that was to have the pow
erlul effect Of making two individuals one,
was about to be performed, as a solemn
voice, issuing from the large Bible, cried,
" BeUare !-BEWARE! Cursed be he
that uniteth the daughter of Radcliffe Ef-
6ngham 10 Scotch Smuggler against her
will"
Every person in the room appeared 10
be paralysed. The voice was 50 unnatu-
raj, so unearthly,-so indescribably aw-
full, that the stouicst hearts quailed before

i. believe them because they are true, and mol
merely because they were uttered by certain
ones. Two opposites can not possibly be
right If It is right 10 overcome evil with
good, and that in all possible cases, then il
will follow that any attempt &c overcome
evil with evil woald be wrong.
Enough has been said TO convince all
those who are inclined to believe, (and to
others argument is useless,) that Moses
should not be esteemed greater than Christ
or his disciples, since the least Of them were
as great as John the Baptist, who was as
great as any who had arisen before him
Let those who esteem the law Of Moses,
especially that part which approves Of re-
turning evil for evil, above the law Of Christ.
cease TO call those in6dels who do not agree
with them, and cast the beam from their
own eye, and repent and believe on the Son
Of God. Itis not my intention nor wish 10
lower down the sayings Of Moses, for | ever
wish TO attach all the truth TO them that
Christ did himself But this holding him

while they give vent 10 that spirit of retail
