and il they may be regarded az fair spt-
cimen oc their people, should have no
hesitation in pronouncing them the finest

set no value upon cloth, and as yet have
never acquired a taste for rum. Beads,
powder and brass, they prize very highly,
and were willing to give away anything
they had for the smallest quantities of
either Of these. They represent their
country as mountainous and heallhfu, and
affirm that cutaneous and other diseases
common to the maritime regions are un-
known among them. They never have
participated 10 the slave trade, and regard
it, as is by no means unnatural in their
circumstances, with the utmost abhor-
renee. One or two instances are known
where they have visited attempts 10 en-
slave their people with signal vengeance
1t is difficult 10 define the Limits and ex-
tent of their country. Perhaps the most
westerly border of what is known as the
Pangwe territory, was within one hun
dred and fifty miles Of the coast, and from
thence it may extend many hundred miles
into the interior, and possibly spread itself
over large portion of the south side Of
the Mountains Of the Moon. Their coun.
TRY is represented as immense! y popuous,
but could not learn that they had any
large or powerful organizations. They
are aware that vessels visit the opposite
coast, and they affirm that they have seen
articles of merchandise brought from that
quarter. am inclined TO think That the
Pangwe people arc migrating in large
bodies towards the coast. If SO, The in
termediale bushmen, weakened as they
are by the slave trade, must inevitably be

1t may be safely said, that no mere man,
not a military chieltain, ever attracted a great
err share of the worlds attention and admit
ration, than the Liberalor Of Ireland. AT
this moment, all Christendom is watch
ing his onward careering progress, with in
tense soliciude. He seems, indeed, on the
point of realising his own original and sub,
lime conception of working out The Liberties
of his country with no weapons but those Of
truth, and reason, and moral suasion- with
no power but the artillery oil that public opin,
ion which he has himself aroused, enlight-
ened and embodied against oppression and
in favor the oppressed. While Tie friends
of freedom, in every land, are paying the
justly merted tribute of respect TO this
mighty and moral conqueror, is Notifying
to see few unworthy and hypocrilcal pre-
tenders TO regard for human rights, in this
country, attempting with their puny efforts
To stay him in his course, or tear the glorious
honors from the chaplet which now adorns
his brow.
And what is the cause of this? Why,
forsooth, in his honest and heartfelt opposi-
ton TO tyranny, he has happened to say
word or two against the unparalleled op-
preston Of three millions Of our fellow. coun-
trymen; and these hypocr'es, who were
mos! voclterous in conGemning the wrongs
OF men across the ocean, but willully blind
to the suherings Of their own victims, are
now denounclng him whom they, were but
yesterday lauding TO the skies. And not
only so-lhey are, even for this honest ex-
preston of one man, Withholding their pledg-
ed assistance to a whole nation. The Re
peal Association in Charleston S. c., had
just advised the formation Of National As
ISOLATION in this country TO assist the Irish,
when, on the receipt Of O'ConnePs speech
against American slavery, they suddenly
resolved to withhold the funds which had
been raised for the Repealers, aud

The immutable laws of nature will not
bend TO suit the ignorance of man.
They are designed 10 confer happiness
upon mankind, when regarded and
strictly adhered to but if man will not
obey them, he will soon find they cannot
be transgressed with impunity; he will
learn that there is penalty affixed to
every act of disobediencc which the ig-
norance or folly of mankind prompts
them 10 commit and the sooner the
great family of man becomes acquainted
with the natural laws which govern them
both physically and mentally, and the
penalty which is invariably affixed to
disregard of them, the sooner will
desire for happiness stimulate individ-
uals to strict obedience of these laws
and, consequently, to a realization of
that happiness which strict obedience
to them always confers. -Magaetiser
