N. P. ROGERS.

This brother is the Editor eflhe Herald
Of Freedom. and in our opinion, is one of
the richest, raciest writer's, this Country
possesses. Had he not lost caste, by be-
coming an Abolnlonist, he would rank
among the chief OF our popular writer's.
Buth has lived cooped up under the shag-
gy brows OF New Hamrshire's White
mountains" as a LAWYER all bis days.
(What an occupation for man like Ro-
gers7) Lawyers are good in their places
but their place is not the place for him,
and the faulty position which be has lived
in from his boyhood, has kept him buried
up. So the world never heard OF him Till
Freedom called him into her service as
she went though her own ""highland fast
nesses," beating up for recruits, as Wal
lace did 10 Scotland. n. p. Nogers is a
man. God made him, and Freedom ex.
humed him from under his lawyer rab-
bish. and has polished him 10 diamond
brightness. We read Rogers's sketches
with delight always The history Of a
tour of his up into !. Franconia Notch" is
beautifully drawn. We recollect reading
when boy, 9 Carriers letters from En-
rope" and no writer have we ever seen,
who, in the briilancy of his desert Upton, the
easintss. Of his narrative. the pilh, the
pathos, the humor, the sarcasm, always at
hard and always apt, reminds US so
strongly OF Carter. as N. p. Rogers. I'M
less we except "Glances at men and
things" by III B. Santon, over the sigma
ture Of Rambler. We are not li;tle
amused at The ignorance manifested by
intelligent men as 10 the talent OF abolition
writer's. ss @@
The reader OF The Chances" in the
New York American" would admire
them, and break on, into a real fit Of :" Ex-
lravaganza'; and the next minute tell you
tha, aboli,iouists have no first rate writers
among them. ..".:*E r; r.
The author of Philothea will be put in
the same category with the author of the
"letters from Palmyra - and the next

osuch men are intelligent on all points
save that of Freedom, butthey donot know
any thing about abolitionisn or lis deli
ners. except what they have learned from
our enemies. We give our readers Rog'
