Astounding Statistics.

Some think that the heather world is
fast yielding 10 the gospel. This is
mistake. Let US look a. statistical facts,
There are now about 600, 100000 heather
or twothrds of the whole race. The
present missionary efforts have been in
operation about forty years. What has
been done during these forty years BY
about four hundred missionaries Why
about 10000 have professed the Christian
faith. This is a great work in one point
of view, but it ismaking comparatively no
Roadway IN Outstanding the heather
world. There are now actually more
heather than there were forty years ago.
The progress made does not keep pace
with the increase of population in heaihen
lands, While 10000 or 10000 a! most
have embraced Christianity abroad, how

period we have made more than million

II we should allow, as we hope it may
be, that $4,000 will embrace the gospel
during the coming forty years, what shall
we then be doing at this rate, in our miss

as it now does, and we shall make as ma

A CARD.

The subscriber is constrained to repeat
a notification which he has already more
than once, under many obligations Of
kindness and civiity, for which he would
rejoice in making an adequate return, been
compelled 10 give.
During the present Session of Congress
he has received multiludes of letters, invi-
ting his attendance at public meetings,
political, social, literary and charitable,
usually with a request that he would ad-
dress them other letters requesting his
advice upon subjects peculiarly interesting
to the writers, or soliciting his opinions
upon controverted topics OF literature, sci.
ence, education temperance, politics, and
religion. TO very few of these letters
has it been possible for him TO return even
ar acknowledgement of their reception.
His age and other considerations have
forbidden his taking any active part in
public meetings of any description. He
entreals all those who have honored him
with invitations or inquiries to be assured
of his heart felt gratitude, and his prayers
for their welfare and happiness, and TO
receive this as his card.

AntiaSIavery Prospects.

Having been absent in obtaining subscri-
bers in different towns nearly the whole
time for eight weeks past, have had pref
ty good opportunity Of feeling the pulse OF
freemen from Burlington 10 Manchester,
100 miles, comprising more than 80 towns
which have visited, and can truly say tina,
anli-slavery investigation is decidedly On the
advance. This is what we want in order
to come to right decision, and is therefore
a good omen. AS remarked few weeks
since, some who have formerly seemed to
go ant-slavery. are made to believe it all
important that they go it this once' for
slavery; while believe many more who
have but just awakened to the subject, and
some who have hardly taken an anti slave
ry paper, come in to fill, and more than fill
the ranks Of the first. trust there are
more than seven thousand freemen, in
Vermont, who will not be duped TO how the
knee TO Baal (slavery) at the coming cleo
lions. AS Returned Saturday night, have
found but little time or room for remarks 10
this number, but as design remaining al
home for season, shall lie, the readers have
more hereafter. J.H.

PROPOSAL.

lz@ AS the order of the day is TO make
proposals in matters other than marriage,
have thought proper TO make one respecting
the circulation of this paper. will there's
fore say 10 all who desire the extension of
matter contained in the Voice Of Freedom,
that any one who will forward the money
free of expense TO me for ten or more copies
| will forward the paper to them at forty
cents each copy for twenty numbers, direct
ed to any one place of deposite, in any
town in the State, and pay the transporta-
ton of the papers. Is that cheap enough =?
If so, hand over the cash and let all the
lreemen know the why's and wherefore's of
this effort 10 turn the political as well as
moral world, upside down. would like
the names of those who take, that part at
least may be secured as subscribers when
the 20 Nos shall have been furnished.

presidency was on account of his iavoring

recently published in the Richmond Wing,
Andrew Jackson declares TO the people of
Louisiana, il being on the eve IF their cleo
