New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1845-11-28

Stood the great giant Algebar,
Orion, Hunter OF the beast
His sword hung cleaning by his SIDE,
And on his arm the lions hide
Scattered across the midnight air
The golden radiance OF its hair.
Then pallid rose the moon and faint,
Yet beautiful some fair saint,
Serencly moving on her way,
In hours of trial and dismay.
As if she heard the voice OF God.
Unframed, with naked feet she trod
Upon the hot and burning stars
AS on the glowing Goals and bars
That were to prove her strength and try
Her holiness and her purity
Thus moving on with silent pace
And triumph in her sweet, pale face,
She reached the station OF Orion.
Aghast he stood in strange alarm
And suddenly, from his outstretched arm,
Down fell the red skin Of the lion
Into the river al his feet
His mighty club no longer beat
The forehead of the bull, but he
Reeled as of wore beside the sea,
When, blinded by Gnopion
He sought the blacksmith at his forge,
And climbing up the mountain gorge
Fixed his blank eyes upon the sun.
Then through the silence overhead
An angel with trumpet said
"Forevermore forevermore
Tie reign of violence is DER"
And like an instrument, that filings
Its music anothers strings
The trumpet Of the angel cast
Upon the heavenly Tyre its blast,
And on from sphere TO sphere the words
Reechoed down the burning chords
"Forevermorc forevermore!
The reign Of violence Is DER!

THE ARIsTocRAcY OF CoLoR.-We perceive
by the New Bedford papers that there has been
some excitement in that town recently on the ques
ton of admitting colored persons TO share on equa
terms with others the advantages OF the Lyceum-
In past wears tickets of admission freely solo
TO coored persons and objection was made to the
becoming members of the Lyceuun but this year tick
cts refused this class, and the Lyceum decided
by vote of ~ 81 TO permit them TO become mem
bers. portion of the minority, embracing some OF the
intelligent citizens OF the place well as some
the most efficient supporters of the Lyceum thereupor
presented Protest which, however refused place
on the records The prejudice in this country agains
coered persons very deeply rooted and will requir,
much patient effort remove it. In proportion how
ever as This unfortunate class become intelligent and re
spectacle they will the foundation of the prcju

certainly curious fact that while in Great Britain th
color Of the skin regarded us any bar 10 social in

resident in New Bedford-is even now receiving honor

ford should rcfsse admit its lectures except me

course are nos local but Of general application.
We protest fTs against this action of the Lyceum n
contrary 70 the spirit of the Constitution which wa
formed for the advancement OF the cause OF Education
and for the diffusion OF information among the people,
We arc at loss TO perceive how these ends can be an

We protest secondly against the proceedings OF me ~

such exclusion is contrary the divine spirit which IN
