The Fugitive.
BY EDMUND

We had the pleasure, recently, Of an hours
conversation with Jonathan Thomas, a fugi-
tive from the domestic institution of Ken
lucky, and heard from him a brief account of
his escape from Slavery, and the dangers and
suifeIings he encountered in e~llecting it.
Henry Beale, a wealthy planter, of the
county of Lexington, aud about eighteen
miles from the city of Lexington, was, by
the laws Of Kentucky, entitled 10 his ''ser-
vice or labor"
Bedle was what is termed a kind master,
and treated his slaves as well as the nature
and condition of servitude permits. "Nev-
erlheless," Thomas said, II had from child
hood a great wish to be free" After attain
ing the age of manhood, he made an agree
ment with his master to buy himself for one
thousand dollars; TO be paid, as he could. by
over-work, earn small sums and deposit them
with his master on account Of the purchase.
At the time of his masters death, in June
last, he had paid very near four hundred dol
lars, and he was then thirty-three years old.
Surprising him to have continued to pay for
the future in the same ratio, he would have
paid the whole sum and obtained his freedom
at the age of ffty-twO; sickness, casualties,
and other contingencies excepted. The SIM
pie Interest on his yearly payments would,
In that time, have amounted TO nine hundred
aud thirty dollars more, and thus, in reality,
this kind master who had so diSihtereSi6diY
permitted "A favored slave TO emancipaie him
self. would have really received, over and
above the fair daily earnings of a slave during
these thirty-one years, (aupposing the ar
rangement TO commence when the slave was
twenty-one years DID, nineteen hundred and
thirty dollars, fora negro ftiy-two years old
if measured by Times hour glass but, if
computed by labor done, and the wear and
tear of excessive over-work, incited by the
hope of freedom, we think he would have
found the infmilies OF seventy pressing up
on his shattered frame.
These reflections have pressed themselves
upon us, because this method of emancipa-
ton accords with the popular idea, and meets,
too, the popular notions of justice and free
dom, when applied to the relation of master
and slave on the subject of emancipation.-
People who pass for very honest folks, are
shocked at the idea of stripping the slave
holder Of his property without pecuniary
compensation, and will not stop to inquire by
what right or justice he holds that properly,
or who must be literally and truly robbed to
pay him for il. 1t is obvious, however, that
emancipation can never, TO any extent, be re-
allied by the over-work Of the slaves them
selves; for none but the comparatively favor
ed few, who have some mechanical trade,
can hope, by any possibility, to earn enough
by over-work to purchase their freedom.
At the time of his masters death, Thomas
was absent at work at his trade, which was
that of a millwright. On his return home
soon after, he found his masters son, John,
in possession Of the estate. This son he rep.
resents as g true specimen Of "the chivalIy,"

&C., have also Withdraw n from il, on the same
ground, and originated a Liberty League
with the express object of superseding the
present Liberty party. The seceders have
had the ad r%oiiness to hold their national ()
convention (about seventy persons, men and
toomen, voting on the occasion,) and nomi-
nate their candidates for the Presidency and
Vice.Presidency Of the United Sta,es-thus
beating in celebrity Of movement all the oiher
parties! The race, however, is not always
to the swift; and it is possible that, though
late in the field either the Wigs OF the Dem.
ocrats may gain the victory.
Under all these circumstances, the earnest
discussion which is going on in the Emanci-
pator and other journals, as TO the time when
the national Liberty party Convention should
be held, becomes a matter Of amusement, ra-
ther than of interest.

Did not this Divine parsonage say to his

is 1t matter OF surprise that truth should pro-
gress so slowly, and doubt and infdelity in
crease in the land Was there ever an age
in which the call was more imperative for a
renovation in tie churches than now
Friends Of every name, we address you UNI
der the influence Of l]ralernal feeling, believ-
ing the hour has come when Jerusalem
should be searched with a lighted candle :
and every wrong thing which tends to retard
our progress in moral excellence should he
cast out of the camp hat every plant " hich
the heavenly Father hath not planted NAV be
rooted up'-that when we bring our sacrifices
to the altar, we may remember, with lowli-
ness Of spirit, that justice, mercy and humili-
" are the incense which the Supreme Intel
llgence dcllghteth to receive. The exercise
of these inestimable virtues, we are persua-
ded, will utterly destroy superstition, bigotry
and an Idolatrous worship, together with that
loathsome spirit of caste which prevents the
exercise OF gospel freedom In a more unlver-
sal cooperation for the enlargement of the
human race.
When we shall have learned the immuta-
bility Of truth, that light can never c~oalesce
with darkness that the spirit Of the gospel
is active and energetic, not confined TO cells
and closets-thati ii rests not on a worldly eX-
pediency-that right is always eXpedient, and
to do justice the best of policy-that the spirit
Of gentleness, of kindness, Of forgiveness OF
injuries, is stronger than death-lhat love is
the strongest power-that by it God governs
the universe, by it He is now moving upon
the world of mind, and toy it He will ulti-
mately triumph and the sound of battle, the
cry of the wounded and dying, the clanking
OF Slavery's blood stained chain, shall no more
be heard, and all men shall acknowledge the
universal brotherhood of ~man'-when these
gospel truths shall be learned and practised
upon, may we not expect an absolute religion
to be established upon such a permanent ba-
sis, that all the combined influence Of skepti-
cism and a false theology will not be able 10
prevail against usl That we may attain so
triumphant an issue is the earnest desire of
your friends in the cause of truth and holi-
ness.

THE WAR-sHIp OF A
BY SAMUEL LOVER.

Sweet land of song, thy harp doth hang
Upon the willows, now,
While famins's blight and fever's Pang
Stamp misery on thy brow;
Yet, take thy harp and raise thy voice,
Though faint and low it be,
And let thy sinking heart rejoice
In friends, still left to thee.
Look out, look out acros the sea
That girds thy emerald shore,
A ship Of war 10 bound for thee
But with no waIlike store;
Her thunder sleeps-'tis Mercy's breatI
That watts her Ger the sea,
She goes not forth to deal out death,
But bears new life to thee.
Thy wasted hand can scarcely strike
The chords of grateful praise:
The plantive tone is now unlike
Thy voice of prouder days,
Yet, even in sorrow, tuneful still
Let Erin's voice proclaim
In Bardic praise, on every hill
