For the Voice Of Freedom

PRINCIPLES OF PEACE.a"No'
War, both in its internal operations
and its in Auences is inconsistent with civil
and religious liberty. War indeed is the
palent of slavery Says a late writer,
said by the Editor Of the Globe, TO be one
of the first inteIIects Of the South: The
truth is, that property in man has existed
in all ages of the world, and results
from the natural state OF man, which is war.
When God created the family ofman,and
gave them the fields Of the earth for an
Inheritance, one of their Number, In ODE
dience TO the impulse and passions that
had been implanted in the human breast,
rose and slew his brother. The unlvels,
al nature Of man is alone modified by CIV
ilzation and law. War, conquest, and
force have produced slavery" &c,
Here in the language of undisguised
truth, is exhibited The sentiments and ef'
fects of war. And were | TO seek for des.
potism and servility in .heir most absolute
forms, | would 60 to the regular army in
time Of war. 1t is here more than any
where else, that the liberty, and even the
life of the subordinate is al the disposal of
the sovereign. The motion of the eye,
the hand, the foot or the tone OF the voice,
and even the expression OF opinion are
matters Of command, and may incur pen
ally. Such are its established laws
Saws Vattel, Law of Nations, Book 8,
Chap. ii sc; "The troops, officers and
soldiers, indeed all by whom the sove-
reign makes war are only instruments in
his hands; they execute his ill,not their
own. The arms and apparatus are only
instruments of an inferior order" And IS:
every member capable of carrying arms
should take them up, at the first order of
him who has the power of making war;"
Also, ISL: Auxiliary troops are to
obey the prince to whose assistance they
come, yet he has no right to transfer them
TO third power" Such are the re1uted
guardians of liberty. Experience, how
ever, has proved that it is not within the
power of earthly authority to sanction
and secure such state Of servllty. The
successful warrior therefore, has never
failed TO avail himself of RELIGIOUS sane
ton of some sort, and the cooperation Of
a priesthood also, either Pagan, jewish
or Christian or perhaps we might say
combination of all these, since the days
of the Roman See.
This may account for the combination o.
Church and State, and the union and mu'
tual concert between civil and eccleslas'
teal authorities. Law of Nations, Book
/, Chap. xii. Sl29 "The establishment
Of religion by the laws, and its public ex
ercise are matters Of State, and are neces

ADVANTAGES OF TRAvELLrNG.-

ADVANTAGES OF TRAVELLING.--
1t is surprising how little knocking
about in steamboats,, and railways,
and dilligences, and schnell-postS-
and votures, of all sorts, and hotels
with every variety of perfumes,
shakes man out Of his sluggish
thoughts and opaque humors. 1t is
the best Of all constitutional rene
dies for mind and body, although it
acts but slowly on the whip-cord
nerves of the English. 1t is good for
the brains and the stomach. 1t in
vigorates the imagination; loosens
the blood, and makes it leap through
the veins dispels the rebutous mass
,of the stay-at-home animal and,
liberating the spirit from its drowsy
weight of prejudices, sends it re-
bounding back, lighter and brighter
than ever, with the fresh morning
beams lhrobbing in its pulses
There is nothing in this dwelling
world of ours which so ehectually
annihilates conventional respectable
ity as travelling. 1t tumbles down
with single blow the whole wire
and gauze puppet, reducing its emp
ty length and breadth to mere finery
and saw-dust. All our staid, sol
emn properties, that beset and check
us at every hands turn like inaue-
uration mysteries, as if we were, ell
terlng upon some esoteric novitlate
every day Of our lives-aIl our fam
lily pride and class instincts-our To-
cal importance and stately caution
-paddocks and lawns - Iive1ies,
revenues, and ceremonials-all 90
for nothing in the swirl and roar of
the living tide. A great landed gen.
tleman cannot bring his ten-leet
walls, his deer-park, or his parish
church with its time-honored slabs
and monuments, i'll the palm Of his
hand to the continent; he cannot
stick the vicar and the overseer, and
the bench of justices, in his hat
band he cannot inscribe the terror
of the treadmill on his travelling bag;
he cannot impress everybody abroad
as he can at home, with the awful
majesty of his gatc-house, and the
lump of plush that slumbers in the
padded armchair he has passed
out ofthe artificial medium by which
he has hitherto been SO egregiously
maGnified, and he is forced, for once
in his life, to depend solely on him
self, docked Of his lictors, for what
ever amount Of respect, or even at
tentlon, be can attract. This is a
wholesome and healthy ordeal, very
good for the moral as well as the
hillary ducts. 1t sets new and I'M
expected value upon whatever little
sense or self-reiiance one may really
possess, and makes a man under
stand his manhood better in month
than he could have done in twenty
years through the mirage of a false
posilion.-Foro$g@ Quarterly RcUjew.

SPRING AND DEATH.

To the climes ye visit, beautiful Spring,
VIVA, are the gifts ye will deign TO bring Z
twill bring bright flowers with sweet
perfume,
The budding rose and the lily's bloom,
The song CT the bird in the leafy grove,
And the hum of the bee in the green alcoVe'
| will deck the forest in robes oil green;
will gem the shrub by the rivers sheen,
VIII hang gay Tassels on groves OF pine
And wreathe their trunks with the trusting
vine.
7 will tinge the stream with the lovely hue
Olthe Aowery meadows it wanders through,
And ull its waters with songs to sleep,
While The bright stars watch in lis quiet
deep"
But what do you ask in return, fair Spring,
Fer the lovely things, and the gifts we bring
81 ask for the foloers, yet not the same
That gave to the beautiful when ] came /;
| ask for the StarS-but they do not glow
In the skies above or the waves below
The rosy lip and the laughing eye,
The heart whose throbbings are wild and
high,
The smiling cheek and the glossy hair,
The peary brow and like seraph'S fair,
To deck for his banquet DEATHS loomy urn !!
These are the gifts that l ask IN return"

MADR1D.-Madrid, situated on a
plateau elevated more than 1900 feet
above the level of the sea, is in the
most irritating atmosphere Of all
Spain. The wind which blows
there, during almost the whole year,
from The mountains OF Guadarrama,
and the fatal effect of which have
give rise to so many proverbs, pene-
trates with an insupportable cold
which would affect the strongest
lungs, if they were not protected by
the skirt of the cloak thrown over the
shoulders, as well as adds to the in
huence Of the climate in producing
the most painful cholics in a great
number Of foreigners. 1t is this
wind, blowing SO frequently, and
sometimes SO violently, from the
month Of February to the month of
May, which insessantly raising i'll
the air columns of nilrous powder,
irritates the eyes of a population
tainted with scroluious and various
affections, and gives rise to those
ophthalmias which, from the rever-
bcrallon OF the sun and the GOODNESS
of the nights, are sure in no long
time to terminate fatally.

THE FLORIDA FUGITIvEs.-The
United States Revenue Gutter Maui
illus had arrived at Nassau, to de-
mand thc slaves who fled from Flori-
da some time since, committed a
murder at Key Biscare, and then
took refuge at Nassau. The Nauli-
lus was compelled, however, to sail
again without accomplishing her OBJ
.lect. The authorities of Nassau re-
fused to give up the fugitives from
justice, on the plea that the proofs
were not sufficient Courier and En-
guirer.

out being demanded from the Bri-
fish Government, especially if they
happen to kill man who attempts
to arrest them, or take away their

RUSSIAN SEvERlTy.-Tn a Ger

RUSSIAN SEvEnlTy.-Tn a Ger
man paper, the well known author
css, Fanny Tasnow, gives the fol-
lowing affecting description of the
fate Of the Prince and Princess Tru-
bezkoi. The prince was concerned
IN the conspiracy which took place
Immediately after the death Of the
Emperor, and was condemned to
work for fifteen years in the lead
mines Of the Ural Mountains. The
princess, who was nearly connected
with some Of the oldest families in
Russia, accompanied him volunlari-
| ly into exile in the year 1926. In
this terrible situation she bore him
five children. In Siberia the chill
dren of a convict ale also consider
ed convicts. They are not allowed
to bear any family name or receive
any education, and are distinguished
by numbers only. At the expiration
OF the period Of punishment in the
mines, the fllends Of the prince hoped
that he, his lady, and his children
would now have a better fate; but
an ukase ordered the Prince Tru-
bezkoi into one of the most remote
places OF the icy deserts of Siberia,
where he and his family were to
found colony, and in a spot where
they would be deprived Of all aid and
assistance. In vain the prince and
princess begged to be allowed, at
least TO settle in the neighborhood Of
Tobolski where there was doctor
and apolheca1y for their sickly chill
dren.
Their prayers seem to have been
lost in air. The German authoress
has now come forward to ask for
mercy for the prince.

FATE OF A RETAKEN FUGITIVE
SLAvE.-The Albany Patriot gives
the particulars of the case of VIM.
Johnson, fugitive slave who escaped
with his family into Canada from
Missouri about three years ago
Soon after, he engaged himself as q
cook on board one of the Buffalo
steamboats,, in which situation he
was seized by his old masters son
and carried back to Missouri. In
order to compel him to confess where
his family was, he was placed in the
stocks, and burnt with read hot
irons on his right side and arm, his
tormentors cursing and disappearing,
and threatening TO burn his heart
out The President and Secretary
of the Albany Vigilance Committee
in their report OF this atrocious out
rage say: THE man is a cripple for
life, his whole side seems partially
paralyzed from the effects of the
stocks and burning. He is constant
ly in pain, and halts when walking
is compelled to use a staff. He
