The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-10

We received, few days since, the following
very polite note it written in an elegant, e-
gible, bold hand, and for its profundity, and the
power of expression which it exhibits, we consid-
er it worthy Of publication.
Sirs I have perused from the commence ment
your paper and from your last number it sate6es
NEE OF your PRINCIPLES and doctrine for wrih you
may arase miy advertisement from your paper
wlch you pute thare with out my consent.
The writer then concludes with the following
admirable and sublime piece of poetry, whether
quoted from Pope, Milton or Young, or translat-
ed from Latin, Greek or Hebrew, for the life of
US we cannot tell--but here it is

eG Remarks on the official despatch from Mr.,
Webster, concluded from our last g
And this distinguished statesman appeals TO the
comfy ofsnations, and calls upon Great Britain IN
obedience to that high law, to seize those unfor-
tunate fugitives who have escaped the cruelty Of
their masters, to be handed over to justice-to he
hanged-or returned to a,worse Alternatives
deadly miasma's of the plantation That law
has no application to this case this is rather
that OF two hostile and contendng powers sud-
denly thrust upon neutral soil-t6e arms Of both

and both stand upon equal ground, enjoying alike
the protection aud subjected to the laws of the |
land to which providence has cenveved them, and
which govern the fate. of the citizen and the
stranger seeking it's benevolent asylum The
principle contended for is at variance with, and
repugnapt TO divine justice and human honor -
Yet Mr.. Webster holds out the idea to Great
Britain, that her proceedings in such cases may,
if persisted in, early endanger the peaceful rea-
tons or the two countries. God forbid the
thought that the blood of freemen should be shed
in the maintenance ofsuch doctrines and in so un
righteous and unhallowed cause At any i'm
pulse to ameliorate the condition of the slave at
home or abroad-at any expression. OF, charitable
sympathy for their hard fate-the"South,talk of
their rights, and we are told that their negroes are
s'goods and chattels," in which we have no voice
to interfere And yet, every three out of five
slaves are opposed to the North as voters, to neu
tralize the influence of Northern freemen Il
As regards the South, within its jurisdiction,
we of the North pretend not to interfere with
their slaves; but we cannot refrain from bestow
ing our pity on the hard fate of the slave. Can
we refrain from inviting the slave owner to edu-
cate, aud thus prepare thes slave for the proper ap
preciation. of his future freedom? For that day
must come-and when it comes thus prepared,
the good order of society is maintained, the hap
plneSS OF the slave decreed and the safety OF the
former master made perfect
In the meantime it should be distinctly under
stood by the South, that the North will never
consent to be dragged into difficulties with Eng
land to claim slaves, who, in exercising the right
of~rescuing. themselves from bondage, which eve
ry man who has soul to feel and hand to use,
or is endowed with reason, will, and is justified
in attempting!
1t is right sanctioned by the law of God and
it is honorable and just and natural to every cap
tive so situated-to break assaadeE the fetters
which confne him-the feeling is, and should ev-
er be, irresistible. No flag on the ocean should
be permitted to wave over slavery, and if the
loathsome negro trader or brutal overseer takes
the poor slaves from one State to another to car
ry on his traffic in human flesh, let every christian
rejoice, when the inspiring spark swells their
veins and urges them on to the cheering hope of
liberty. England has nobly unfured her banner
in their cause, and wherever her laws prevail,
there also is freedom. Her soil knows no slavery.
and her habeas corpus act recognizes no such de-
hnition as " goods and chatlels," when applied to
man, displaying the image of his God ! Under
their laws, the beautiful language of Curren tells
him that " the first moment he touches her soil,
his chains burst from around him, he stands. re-
deemed, emancipated and disenthralled ~ And
no modern sophistry will ever induce England to
violate that blessing, conferred on the oppressed

NORTHERN STAR & FREEMEN's ADVOCATE
ALBANY. THURSDAY, MARCH 10. 1s4s.

o. We have been much amused for some time,
by the fruitless endeaxors of some persons, (who
have not enough business of their own to attend
to) to destroy the character of our paper, because
we would, not be governed by a certain party
But, thank heaven, we have been able up to this
time, by the help of GOOD FRIENDS to maintain our
independence.
Scarcely had our star arisen above the horizon
aud emitted its rays, before the ingenuity of the
giant mind which governed certain Tocsin i'm
mediately discovered that the effulgency of its
rays would penetrate the minds of its behoIders,
and Immediately concluded that as its light ema-
mated from an opposite point, it would necessarily
destroy the charm Of it's music, and.therefore, it's
duty was Immediately to proclaim this discovery
to the inhabitants, that they might Immediately
reject it; consultation was Immediately held
and it was determined to obstruct the passage of
its rays; but the contrary was the result-the de-
mand for star light Immediately increased, and
every copy of the next number Of our paper was
immediately disposed of to our satisfaction. and
we Immediately concluded TO enlarge it.
We proceeded, quietly on for while, per-
fectly unconscious of erring, when suddenly we
were alarmed by the sound of the Tocsin;' a
new discovery had been made-a plot had been
invented by which the unrefecting part of our
people were to be transported to another cline to
die. The cry Of opposition bad failed to produce
the desired effect, and slight insinuation that we
we were united with colonization, was tbouobt
absolutely necessary-we had asserted that it was
the duty Of Southern men to make provision for
the emancipation of their slaves as fast as thew
can-instead of saying they should Immediately
emanciPate them and make provision for them.
afterwards.
Now we positively declare that we have no
connection with the Colonization or any other
party-that we never have had-and that who
ever reports any such thing of US, is guilty. Of
wilful and malicious falsehood, Weare aware &c
the source from whence it first originated, and
are surprised and regret that friend G. sbora
be influenced by one who is naturally ieaIous on
vious and malicious.
In our next, We shall answer the Tocs;n n,oro
fully, and we trust we shall be found not loss !;
beral or in accordance with Justice and bur,o,;...
than our neighbors of the Tocsin.
e5e Remarks on the official despatch from, n6.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-10
it burns>well for a,wilde
and goes out shame
(We suppress the signature.)

OenO your Dill Dut no more papers.
Here the poet stops, and leaves US in obscurity,
upon the subject of gass light.
The last number we issued previous to recev.
ing the above, was No. =, but we presume the
one alluded to was No. 6, in which we expressed
our opinion that the duty. of shareholders was to
emancipate their slaves as fast as they could make
provisions fer them. Now, it is well known that
in many Of the slave states, the laws forbid eman-
cipaton within their borders, and therefore it is
absolutely necessary to make some. provision for
emancipatng them out of such states But ac-
cording to the doctrine of immediate emancipation
as we see it explained in some papers, the master
need make no provision for their safety, but re-
gardless of law, hberate their slaves on the spot.
In expressing ourselves as we~did upon the sub
Ject, we saw nothing at war with the laws of ma
ture the spirit of humanity, or the principles of
abolitionism. If we consider the laws which ma
lures God has established for the government of
the universe, we find that order, harmony and
lmmutablty very happily adapt them to the.
constitution and wants of man, and for the illus
tration of the justice and benevolence of which;
we refer our readers to Combe on the Constitu-
ton, page 29O-299
According to the laws of nature we receive the
light and heat of the sun in just such propor-
tions as our natures will bear, without their be-
coming source of misery and oppression to us,
and IN the same manner vegetation receives its
vivfying and fructifying Influence thus also the
rain descends-the. seasons revolve-the earth
yields her increase and the heat and cold approach
and retire, dfusng their healthful and felicitous
influence throughout creation. But suppose the
laws of nature revoked and others dispensed, ac-
cording to the rules. of immedateism and without
any alteration in the constitution of nature. Do
we not perceive that dissolution and arrangement
would prevail throughout all the kingdoms of ma
ture ? Thus we discover that an omniscient be-
ing has adapted the laws of nature to the happi-
ness and comfort of man.
Or what does the sentiment in question contain
that is opposed to the spirit of humanity Ger
tainly humanity not only urges US to exercise
sympathy towards the wretehed, bat to compass
sionate and ameliorae their condition as soon as
possible, and in a manner that is consonant to our
feelings and the best interests of the unfortuate.
But to proceed farther than what would serve to
advance the happiness of those toward whom our
sympathy flows, might not only prove .detriment-
al, butserve to avert the good which we would
wish to accomplish; and such, we believe. would
be the effect of immediate emancipation, without
previous provision for the welfare, happiness and
subsistence of the emancipated aa
