out the arms OF Fathers love TO you, TO
the vlest sinner, and says, "come unto
me, and be ye saved"
You can, perhaps, read; if you can,
read the Scriptures - read them without
note, and without comment, and pray to
God for his assistance, and you will be
able 10 say, when you pass from prison
10 execution, as poor slave said, under
similar circumstances, :" am glad my
Friday has at last come"
If YOU can not read the Scri p!ures, the
Ministers of our holy religion will be
ready to aid you; they will read and ex-
plain to you, until you will be able TO
understand, and understanding to call
upon the only one who can help & save
YOU, Jesus Christ "the Lamb OF God
who taketh away the sin Of the world"
To him commend you; and thro' him
may you have that opening OF the day
spring of mercy from on high, which
shall bless you here, and crown you in
an everlasting world, as saint, forever
and ever.
The sentence of the law is, that you be
taken hence 10 the place from whence you
last came, thence to the gao of Fairfield
District, and that there you be closely and
securely confined until Friday, the 26lh
day of April next, on which day. between
the hours of 10 in the forenoon, and 2 in
the afternoon, you will be taken to the
place of public execution, and there be
hanged by the neck till your body be
dead; and may God have mercy on your
soul.

THE Truth PLAINLY SPOKEN Mrs.
Rachael Barker, member of the Society
of Friends, few Sundays since preached
a sermon in the capitol at Washington.
"She lashed members of Congress
and politicians Of all grades. without mer-
cy. She declared that the practice of
duelling was sustained by towards, who
were too much afraid of perverted pub,
lie opinion TO refuse a challenge. She
said all they wanted to make them a
blessing to the country was little hon.
esty. After she had spoken her mind
for about two hours. she put on her bon.
net and shawl, and bid the audience an
adectionate farewell. No man would
have dared to say the things she did"

Hank the war-rump soundeth now,
Up, and to the fight again
Up, for chains are binding still
Human limbs at human will.
Still the signs are deep as ever,
Still the tears as warmly flow

By Potomac's wave Of wo-
There the fond embrace is given,
And the hearts dear ties are rivsn!
There the weary mother bendeth
O'er her task from morn till eve,
Till at night her way she wendeth
TO her hut to weep and grieve--
For the babe she late caressed
Sleeps no longer on her breast.
All the skies are dark to her,
And the golden sun and stream
Wear a shadowy gloom, and stir
In her bosom but dream
OF her own dear sunny home,
Where she never more may roam.
Give that mother back her child,
By thy hopes Of Heaven above
BY its bitter meanings wild
For the bosom Of its love-

With many OF these, arrangements have al.
ready been made, as well as with others whose
reputation is sure, though yet to be established
in the public regard. The proprietor entertains
sanguine hopes Of accomplishing an object TO
which he looks forward with pride - the secured
cooperation of regular and occasional contrbut-
ors, forming list unequaIed in this country.
In each number there will be two or
more Engravings, after such artists as
Chapman, Mgham, Inman, Osgo od, &c.,
engraved in mezzotint, line, and stipple,
by H. S. Sadd w. L. Ormsby &c be-
sides a plate of Fashions colored, and
occasionally other illustrations, so that
every subscriber will receive, in the
course of the year, at least twenty -four
elegant productions of the graphic art,
which could not be otherwise procured
at three or four times the annual cost Of
the whole Magazine.
In each number there will also be two
pages of Music, original, or iudiciously
selected by competent professor of the
art. Proper regard will be paid to the
current issues from the book press; not
so much, however, with view to notice
all the volumes that may appear, as to
the expression of matured opinions con-
corning those which shal il be deemed
worthy of the public attention and con-
Gdence. The aim Of the Editor will be,
rather to furnish judicious criticisms, on
which readers and purchasers may rely
for guidance, than to present more
audatory chronicle of new publications.

find filled aUith contributions from the most
| eminent and accomplished acrafeTS Of
the country.
| THE motives which have led TO the com.
| 4 mencement of this undertaking may be briefly
stated Ii is believed by the proprietor that there
! is in the United States an immense provision of
literary ability, for which as yet there is no ade-
quate encouragement, or field OF display; that
besides the numbers Of clever and successful
writer's, whose productions are weekly, and
monthly, and annually read with delight by thou
sands, there are yet greater numbers constantly
| arriving at maturity OF power, who have only TO
appear on the stage OF publication to receive a
brilliant award of fame; and that the powers of
those whose names are already pronounced with
respect by lips of wisest censure, are capable of
more and still higher eXertlon than has yet been
called forth. 1t is believed, too, that the demand
for literary production IN this country, especially
in The periodical channel, exceeds the supply in
a very large proportion, and that new supplies
have only TO be presented of the right quality
and in the right way, to ensure a hearty welcome
and profitable reception. NO doubt is entertained
of the American minds ability TO sustain itself
certainly on its own ground, if not abroad
against all the competition that the intellect of
other lands can bring TO the encounter; and full
assurance is felt that among the milo ns of Amer
lean readers there can be, and is cordial well
come for all that American writers can produce
Of excellent and interesting.
From these premises it is undoubtedly inferred,
that there is abundant room for another Maya
zIne, Notwithstanding the merit and success of
those already in being; that there can be no lack
of ability to fill its pages acceptaby, within the
reach of capital and liberal enterprise; and that
such periodical will moi fail to be greeted as
welcome visiter by thousands upon thousands,
who as yet have done little Or nothing toward
the support and development of American period
icaI literature.
Another and strong motive has been the feel
ing that NewYok, the first city of the Union,
should be the home of periodical owing no
superior IN either merit or success.
The Columbian Magazine will be published on
the first day of every month. Its mechanical
arrangements will comprise the best of paper,
type, and workmanship that money can procure.
Its contributors will be sought for among the
ablest and most popular writer's in the country;
and no Efforts will be spared to secure the aid OF
