We attended the meeting at the City
Hall OH Saturday evening, the 9th inst,
and although it was not so numerously at
tended as we had reason to anticipate,
from the importance given to the notice.
the collection was, nevertheless, respccta-
Bile. The meeting was addressed by Cat
WIN PEPPER, Esq. In the course Of his
remarks, he pourtrayed, in feeling and
concise manner, the ultimate tendency Of
the late decision of the Supreme Court Of
the United States, upon the white, as well
the colored inhabitants of the free states,
and the scjourning fugitive from the slave
catchers of the south. Mr.. p. was pecu-
liarly happy in some of lis remarks, and
displayed warmth of generous feeling,
when he exclaimed, :. / am not afreeman
while such laws exists" that enables the
Shareholder, or his agent, from the south,
to claim any amongst US as his slave, and
at the mere "ipse Dirt " of any local JUS
tice of the peace, or other magistrate and
with scarcely the shadow Of evidence,
without trial by jury. dragged into irredee-
mable bondage. Several resolutions were
read by the chairman, and laid over for a.
doption this evening, to which time, we
understood the meeting was adjourned.
The meeting was also addressed in forci-
bic manner by the Rev. A. Brown, who
stated that on next Thursday (this) eve
ming, three or four addresses would be de-
livered, and among the speakers who
would be present, he named II. II. Gar
nett. colored man, of Troy. He spoke in
high terms of Mr.. G.'s ability, as public
speaker. We anticipate, therefore, tonight
a full house. se1e r.,s

While he was brawling out these al
most unintelligible commands, door O.
pened from an adjoining apartment,
and his wife entered. Her little girl
followed, with eyes red with weeping.
She shrunk from her degraded father,
with concealed dread. But for her
mother, alas, / hardly recognized her.
Dry sorrow had drank her blood" an
unnatural paleness fingered on her vast
ed features, and an unearthIy glare bea-
med in her yet undimmed eye. She
looked the very picture Of despair.
Grey "begged to be excused" ashe
passed with tottering steps from the
room. | referred to former times, their
change Of residence, &c. The poor, a
bused wife told me in few words, with
what an awful calamity that family had
been visited. Intemperance had been
there. The husband, the father, in two
short years had become confirmed
drunkard. Affliction had gathered upon
happy circle, and unmixed sorrow had
poured upon the innocent. could hear
no more. The contras. between our first
and second meeting kept crowded upon
my memory; felt that in continuing
the conversation, | must be imparting
and receiving pain. ] kissed the little
girl, ard as | opened the door to retire,
the light fell on the Family Group, thro'
the green gauze with which it was en-
velop+d. There were the same curls
which had heen bodied forth by the ar
tist, the same speaking eye, which after
inebrie,y had rendered dim and express
sionless. There, too, were the beauti-
ful mother and child. And as looked
upon the pictured group, and then upon
the auenuate being before me, whose
hand clasped with a mothers fondness
the opening bud in her arms; whose
poverty and sorrow awaited, my heart
melted, and woman as | was, the tear
rose unbidden to my cheek, and passed
the Threshold with an aching heart.
This is no fancy sketch. 1t is, alas !:
too true, as one at least will testify, If
ever this hasty tale should meet his eye.
1t may be, that in his wanderings, the
friend of my youth may see this record
of early scenes. and recogrizeit, as rea-
div as he would a portrai. from his own
features. Vermont Statesman.

~We had prepared some SIX or eight
columns of matter for this number, rela-

fore noon, the intelligence was generally
diffused, and many village beauty ga
zed upon the painters efforts with beam
ing eyes, and heart that beat joyfully
in the anticipation of seeing familiar fa-
ces transferred to the canvass. Before
we retired to rest at night, we had ar
ranged our plan fer gay oftwo months
in the delightful borough of W.
Our books were taken from our trunks,
and our drawing, fishing, and and hunt
ing materials placed in order for future
service.
Twas privileged visitor to my friends
apartments, whilst he was engaged in
his avocations. | had some conversa-
tional powers, and was considered not
inadequate to the task of engaging the
attention and keeping alive the spirits of
his subjects. This employment became
at lost to be peculiarly delightful. look
back now, with a memory chastened and
mellowed by the lapse of time upon the
sweet and ingenious faces, the fair forms
and bright eyes, which heguiled away
the happiest hours of a not uneventful
life.
One afternoon had been busying
myself with new and interesting work,
and had neglected, until quite late
hour, my usual visit to the artists room.
When / entered, very lively little cirl
ran towards me, and taking hold of nv
hand, looking up innocently ii my face,
exclaiming with childish eagerness, "Pa
IS going to buy z new picture, aud am
going to have, one, and SO is my little
brother" lied ihe happy child to the
window, where my friend was engaged
in his art. A young gentleman was sit
ting by the window, bold light falling
upon his countenance, and gentle au-
tumn wind was dallying with his dark
hair. A fair form leaned over his chair,
and small white hand was adjusting his
truant curls. The form of that lady was
surprisingly beautiful, | soon became
acquainted, and during my stay, the
mansion of the Greys was my principal
resort, and marking the true enjoyment
ofthat happy family constituted the pu-
rest source Of my enjoyment
Two short years after leaving W.,
during which time the pleasing remem
brance of its residents had often come a
cross my memory, it fell to my lot to
take it into my route to the valley Of the
Wyoming. My first inquiry at the tav-
ern was for the Grey family, the happy
circle where | passed so many pleasant
moments, T. was answered with sigh
anda shrug by the village landlord. Alas!
said the publican, am afraid you will
find them but remnant Of their former
happiness. | was informed that the
Greys had removed, and now occupied
low rooted cottage directly over the
way. / lost no time in crossing over to
the dwelling. AS my hand rested on
the little gate, ! heard contention within.
There was the voice ofinsolent command,
and subdued tones of tender and earnest
entreaty. | entered the apartment, and
was confronted by acountenance red and
bloated, and grossly disfgured, apparent
" by the exercise Of recent violent pas
sion.
What do you want2" said the man,
and walking towards me, he gazed at my
features with the lack lustre of maniac.
"What do you want in my house ?"
nYou do not remember me" said |,

u AS We promised in our last, we
give this day our review of Mr.. Cra-
mer's report, against extending the right
of the elective franchise.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-04-14

Wehave been creditably informed by
one or two friends, that there are two CO.
lored men daily engaged going about, en-
deavoring 10 get some of our people to sign
their names to paper, got up to prejudice
the mind of the public against the STAR.
Men, whom even those they have called
upon, are ashamed Of their conduct, and
have advised them TO desist from these
foolish, as well as useless crusades against
this paper. We were prepared however,
to hear of the attempt of almost anv
thing from that quarter. as we expected
no good from source so corrupt. And
we would here inform them, while we pitv
their weakness. we cannot but despise
their basennss; and we assure them, that
any efforts OF theirs at this late day to i'm
pugn our motives, or to retard the progress
Of this paper with the enlightened portion
OF this community, is as futile as it is abb
surd and we advise them at once 10 de-
sist from any future attempt, as the public
already regard them, in the proper light
their present conductdeserves.

ber. The daily increase Of our subscri-
bers, together with the increase of our
advertising patronage, renders the con-
templated enlargement highly essential,
much sooner than we anticipated.

Adjournment Of the Legisla-


The Legislature ofthis State adjourn
ed on Tuesday the 18th inst. The Eve
ming Journal says-The Legislature has
been in session 90 days, and has enacted
about 800 Laws. The Session is the
shortest we have had for twenty years.
lhe adjournment was hastened by the
probable necessity for an Extra Session.
It's due to the members, however, to say
that they havebeen emphatically awoak-
ING Legislature. On no former occa-
sion have we known more diligent at
tention to the business Of the two Houses.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-04-14


b O. The election, on Tuesday last,
terminated the political conflict between
the Wings, the Democrats, and the Liber-
ty Party. We are neutral in politics ;
and therefore, like all other quiet and
good citizens, shall content ourselves with
the gentleman elected. BY the way,
speaking on the subject, we know of no
man that would fill with more dignity or
honor, the head of our municipal go
vernment, than Or. STAATs; no man can
be better acquainted with the different
grades of mankind than him; andas for
public spirit and enterprise, he is not
surpassed by any of his fellow citizens.

ING Legislature. On no former occa-
sion have we known more diligent at
tention to the business Of the two Houses.
o. The Evening Journal, in speaking
of the Resolutions adopted by the Sc
nate and Assembly, relative to Virginia
and South Carolina, holds forth in the
following strain.
The Virginia Controversy.
The Governor, as will be seen by a
Special Message which was communi-
Gated to the Legislature to day, very
properly asks to be excused from beco-
ming, as requested, the organ for COM
municating, to the Executive authorities
of Virginia and South Carolina, Resolu-
tons which, in his judgment, are as re-
pugnant to the first principles of civil Ii
berty as they are hostile to the spirit and
letter of the Observation-Disclosures
which are as degrading to a Sovereign
State as they are unworthy of the Repre-
sentatives of a Free People.
The Legislature of the State of New
York, by the adoption of these Resolu-
tions, has given its inglorious sanction to
Laws passed by Virginia and South Ca
rolina, authorising aggressions upon the
Commerce, and putting in peril the lib
erty of our citizens. This question now
goes down to the People. We are con-
tent to leave it with them. e
