AYES, rally. brave America,
Thy noble hearts and free,
Around the Eagle, a. he scars
Upward in majesty.

Upward IN majesty
zone halfthy emblem is the bird,
Outfacing thus the day
But. woudst thou make him wholly Time
Give him helpless prey"
This should be sung in Charleston at o'clock IN
the evening. when the drums are heard proclsmins
q dead Freedoms Wake" as they summon to their
homes or to the custody Of the police, every human
being with black skin who is found walking with
out pass from the white. Or it might have been
sung to advantage the night after Charleston had
shown her independence and care OF domestic insi
tutions by expulsion of the venerable envoy OF Mas
sachusetts, It's expression would seem even more
forcble than now when sung near the facts. when
the eagle scars so close above his prey.
How deep the shadow, yet cleft by light There
is counter curr that sets toward the deep. We
are inclined 10 weigh as OF almost equal weight
with all we have had TO trouble as to the pro
longaiion OF slavery the hopes that may be gathered
from the course taken by such man as Cassius
CLAW man open 10 none oil the accusations
brought to diminish the influence Of Aboliuonists
in general for he has eaten the bread wrought from
slavery. and has shared the education that excuses
the blindness Of the stakeholder He speaks one
having authority; can deny that he knows
where he is In the prime Of manhood. Of talent,
and the energy Of fine enthusiasm, be comes for
ward with deed and word TO do his devoir in this
cause never to leave the field till he can take with
him the wronged wretches rescued by his devotion.
Now he has made this last sacrifice Of the preju-
dices of Southern chivalry," more than ever will

right" And we cannot but believe his noble ea

more sacred, of purifying their homes
The event of which this day is the anniversary.
affords sufficient guaranty of the safety and prac-
tcability of strong measures for this publication.
Various accounts are given 10 the public OF the
of the British West Indies, and the foes Of enamel
patton are OF coarse constantly on the alert TO de
| tect any uniavorabe result which may aid them in
opposing the good work elsewhere. But through
all staieme nts these facts shine clear as the Sun
MONDAY, that the measure was there carried into
effect with an ease and success and has shown IN
the African a degree of goodness, docility, ca
pacity for industry and selfcuture entirely beyond
or oppo sed TO the predictions which darkened so
MANY minds with fears Those fears can never
again be entertained or uttered with the same ex-
cuse. One great example Of the safety Of doing
righ exists; true there is but one OF the sort, but
volumes may be preached from such text
We. however. preach not, there too many
preachers already in the field, ADLER. more deeply
devoted to the cause Endless are the sermons OF
these modern crusaders, those ardent sons OF thun

or falter till this one black spot be purged away
from the land which gave them birth They cry
aloud and spare not they spare not others, but
then, neither do they spare themselves, and such

| only TO the men of Lcnox, but TO all men, for he
| was in the highest sense the Friend of Man, the
unsullied purity of infancy. the indignation of youth
at vice and wrong, informed and tempered by the
mild wisdom Of age 1t is beautiful fact that this
should have been the last public occasion of his
life.
Last year a noble address was delivered by X.
w Emerson in which be broadly showed the Juste
mieu views upon this subject in the holy light of a
high ideal day. The truest man grew more true as
he listened for the speech, though ii had the force OF
fact and the lusre of thought, was chiefly remarka
be as sharing the penetrating quality o! the still,
small voice" most often heard when no man speaks.
Now it spoke through man, and no personalities
or preiudices or passions, could be perceived 10
veil or disturb its silver sound
These speeches are on record, little can be said
that is not contained in them But we can add
evermore our aspirations for thee, our Country
that thou mayest not long need TO borrow holy
day, not long have all thy festivals blackened by
ialsehood tyranny, and crime for which neither
man below nor God above can much longer pardon
thee. For ignorance may excuse error, but thine
il is vain to deny it, is conscious wrong and vows
thee to the Mammon whose wages are endless tor
