TEMPERANCE IN WISCONSIN. The
first Temperance Address in Wisconsin,
was delivered at Fort Howard, (Green
Bay) by Col Samuel Ryan, on the 10Th
Of July, 1888. "The Fort Howard Tenn
perance Society,"" containing about IS
members, and established on the LIST OF
February 1888 was the first Total Absti-
nence Society in Wisconsin. Now, we
can safely estimate the number of per-
sons belonging to similar Associations in
Wisconsin, at not less than 10000! What
wonderous change in eleven years!

ANTI-SLAVE
From the Northern Star.
OUR NEW VOLUME.

AS the "NoRrHERN STAR" now APP
pears in an enlarged form, and is issued
from the metropolis, as we'll as from AL
banv, Schenectady, &c. we will venture
a few remarks upon the occasion. The
Northern Star, during the last eighteen
months has been devoted TO Temperance,
Education, and Moral Reform, as means
for the elevation of the People OF Color,
and of slaves. We would now humbly,
but firmly, assume still higher ground-we
desire TO become the exponent OF the
condition and relations of the Free Col
ored Population, and the channel through
which ADLER and wiser men may set forth
the duties of the same people. Our o.
5sct, in assuming this high attitude, is, to
promote the cause of Human Freedom
for, it is true that the cause OF Human
Freedom, so far as the influence of the
American example is concerned, now ban-
ges upon the actual condition of the Free
Colored People of the North. The argu-
ment stands thus. "Granted that 1t is
wrong TO hold men 10 bondage; granted
that slavery is great moral and political
evil; but ii the slaves are set Tree, they
will become just such miserable race as
she Tree blacks ofthe free states." This
Is me present stage of the argument. The
...1le endeayor OF southern intellect is
.,7 earnestly devoted 10 make out their

pertinent have been so complete, had
these various parties had an even start
had there been perfect equality in the be-
ginning, for then there would have been no
trial of the working Of the principles-no
cases for the experiment, Had all been
equal, human equality would not have
been a question. And having been a
question, tried, and decided upon, it would
have lost its vitality as one ofthe elements
of our political existence Had there
been no slavery in our republic, how diff
ferent at this moment would be the public
sentiment on the right of petition, from
what it now is These great principles
must be tried in our government, and in
order that they shall be tried, Providence
has made up the "chequered union as it
now exists. The burden, the proof of the
Experiments rests upon our SHOULDERS
Equality, Rights, are to be gained BY US.
The fame oflibery must be kept constant
ly alive upon the national altar, and we
are the elements selected by God to feed
that fame. Ifneed be that we must bring
hard toll, crucifed feelings, and crushed
hearts, as meet offerings upon an altar SO
sacred, for the cause sake, let US bring
them, but let US bring them with an intel.
ligent view of the dignity of our position,
and of the high destiny we fulfil.
The worst trial for US is past we have
touched the lowest depth of our degrade
lion, and our course is now upward. Let
US keep this fact constantly in view. Let
our tone change with our changed circum-
stances. Instead of feeble complaint at
our oppression, degradation and wrongs,
let US cheer each other in our toilsome
but on ward path We are no longer the
most degraded portion of the community,
our foes admit this.
There are certain leading doctrines
which we shall endeavor, through this pa
per 10 inculcate. The first is that our peo-
pie should under God, rely on themselves
for their elevation. We have hitherto re-
ceived aid from no one; our improve
ment thus far is our own labor we are the
best Judges of what we should do and we
must rely upon ourselves. All that our
friends can do, is to afford US the opportu-
nifty. Secondly, we shall inculcate the
necessity of sound learning. We mnst
get learning at any price short of crime;
learning is our only high road to Freedom
As a means for this we shall advocate the
establishment, in or near one of our large
cities, of high school, well founded and
complete in its appointments. Further re-
marks are deferred till our next.

LETTER FROM HIRAM WILSON,
CANADA
Da,Dn Mills, Feb. 16, 1914.

Dawn Mills, Feb. 16, 1914.
MY DEAR BR. MATLAcK,-Your kind
and very welcome letter ofthe 10th ult.
apprising me of money in your hands,
for the Canada Mission, was duly receiv-
ed by my wife during my absence from
home.
1t gives me great pleasure 10 learn that
the infant class and Sunday school con-
nected with the Fountain Street Wes-
leyan Church, Providence, R. | ;, feel an
interest in the welfare of the poor fugi-
tives from slavery, who are continually
running to Canada. am happy to in
form those dear children, that we are do
ing all we can to enlighten the minds of
the poor outcasts and their children. We
have in Canada West, eight or nine
schools for this purpose, and are teach
ing many of them on the Sabbath as we'll
as during the week. Besides these
schools, we have an institution in Dawn,
called the BRITISH AMERICAN INSTITUTE,
on the manual labor system. This plan
works well, because it gives employment
to the scholars, by means Of which they
earn their bread and maintain themselves
by their labor, as all people ought to do,
while we give them their tuition without
charge. We have here upon beautiful
piece of ground, purchased about two
years ago, more than sixty colored schol-
ars, who are now receiving daily instruc-
ton, where the heavy forest trees were
then growing. We feel that our work is
an important one, but we have good en-
enlargement for going forward. The
Lord has blessed our enterprise and
sanctioned it by the outporing of his Ho-
ly Spirit. Several sinners have renoun-
ced the world and bowed their hearts at
the Saviour's feet. We make it our bu-
siness every day, and especially on til
Sabbath, to tell them Of Jesus and of the
great salvation by his precious blood. We
have many difficulties and very great
trials to encounter, but the grace Of God
is sufficient for us at all times to enable
US ''to endure hardness as good soldiers,
and to perform the acceptable and per
feet will of Cod" Instead of living in
fine elegant seated houses, with rich car
pets and splendid furniture, and every
thing convenient and comfortable arounc
us, we dwell in log houses and cheerfully
subject ourselves to many inconvenien
ces ond privations, such as people in cit
Z les and villages OF aid settlements are Blu

OPPRESSION SHALL NOT ALWAYS
REIGN. -

BY THE LATE HENRY WARE, JR.
Oppression shall not always reign;
There comes brighter day,
When freedom, burst from every chain,
Shall have triumphant way.
Then right shall over might prevail,
And truth, like hero armed in mail,
The hosts OF tyrant wrong assail,
And hold eternal sway.
Zen now, that glorious day draws near,
It's coming is not far;
In earth and heaven its signs appear,
We see its morning star; 40.
It's dawn has flushed the eastern sky,
The western hills reflect il high,
The southern clouds before il fly
Hurra, hurra, hurra
Il flashes on the Indian isles,
So long to bondage given;
Their faded plains are decked in smiles,
Their blood stained letters riven.
Eight hundred thousand newly free,
Pour out their songs Of jubilee,
That shake the globe from sea to sea,
As with shout from heaven.
That shout which every bosom thrills,
Has crossed the wondering main,
1t rings in thunder Ger our hills,
And rolls DER every plain,
The waves reply on every shore,
Old Faneuil echoes to the roar,
And rocks as it meier rocked before,
And never rocks in vain.
What voice shall bid the progress stay,
OF truths victorious carr
What arm arrest the growing day,
Or quench the solar starr
VIVA, bastard soul, though stout q strong,
Shall dare bring back the ancient wrong,
Or slavery's guilty night prolong,
And freedoms morning bar?
The hour of triumph comes apace,
The fated, promised hour,
When earth upon ransomed race,
Her beauteous gifts shall shower.
Ring, liberty, thy glorious bell,
Bid high thy sacred banner swell,
Let trump on trump the triumph tell,
OF heavens avenging power.
The day has come, the hour draws nigh
We hear the coming car,
Send forth the glad, exulting cry,
Hurra, hurra, hurra
From every hill, by every sea,
In shouts proclaim the great decree,
'All chains, all men are free!'
Hurra, hurra, hurra!
