"If they would repress all tendencies to-
wards liberty and ultimate emancipation, they
must do more than put down the benevolent
efforts Of this society. They must 90 back
TO the era of our Liberty and independence,
and muzzle the cannon which thunders its
annual return. They must revive the slave
trade with all its train OF atrocities. They
must suppress the workings Of British PHI
lanthropy, seeking to ameliorate the condition
of the unfortunate West India slaves. They
must arrest the career Of South American de-
liverance from thraldom. They must blow
out the moral lights around us, and extin-
guish that greatest torch of all which Ameri-
ca presents to a benighted world, pointing
the way 10 their rights, their liberty and their
happiness. And when they have achieved
all these purposes, their work will be vet in
complete. They must penetrate the human
soul and eradicate the light Of reason and the
love Of liberty. Then, and not till then,
when universal darkness and despair prevail,
can you perpetuate slavery and repress all
sympathies, and all humane and benevolent
efforts among freemen, in behalf of the I'M
happy portion Of our race doomed to bond
age"
The second conclusion we draw is, that
Kentucky, of all the slave states, is the ripest
for emancipation.
Although, from the first, disturbed by this
greatest OF human curses, yet from the first
have her people been most mindful of the i'm
provement of the negroes. A bold spirit OF
liberty has ever been their characteristics
Not here, as in South Carolina and the other
planting States, could a rotten borough sys-
tenn be established TO sustain slavery. The
white basis has always prevailed, and when
our constitution was formed, the convention
came within a few votes of getting out of the
evil.
Nor has this purpose ever been abandoned.
True, from extraneous causes it has been de-
feated but Notwithstanding this, anli-slave-
ny sentiment has taken deeper and deeper
root in our soil. The advanced condition of
the slave in Kentucky goes far to prove this
fact. The number of those emancipated
yearly establishes 1t almost beyond tho pow
er Of contradiction. So that it needs only
that the generous and humane among slave
holders and non-slaveholders should express
themselves-should take the lead in the great
and good work-to relieve themselves from
ills which no human power can guage, and
the State from an incubus which no human
energy can sustain.-Erdminer.

The way TO Conquer a. Peace.

From all that is heard about conquering a
peace, and from the anxiety which prevails
in the anticipation of aught that would seem
to indicate an approach toward it, such as
the growth of the peace party in Mexico, the
election of Herrera, the peace candidate, to
the Presidency, the appointment of peace
agents by the United States, &c. &C., we
might infer that the people and the govern
ment of this country were exceedingly desi-
rous to conclude the Mexican war by con-
quering a peace.
They who hope for conquest, whether in
the physical or moral field, must employ eff
cient agents; and it is the part of wisdom to
choose such and such only as are best suited
to accomplish the desired end. With all due
Difference TO the military prowess and saga,
city of Generals Polk, Scott, and Taylor, il
is evident that their present method of con
quering a peace, is, unfortunately for this
country as we'll as Mexico, the worst tina
could possibly have been adopted. In thu
first place, the stealing of Texas, howeve
necessary it might have been to conquer
peace from the South, was not regarded by
Mexico as the highest possible evidence tina

freely on the different reforms Of the day,

Church.. To be an advocate Of peace and

S. Paul, who resides near Cadiz, made APP
plication for the Office Of Postmaster. A
democrat, and church member, informed head
quarters that the said S. Paul had expressed
his disapprobation Of the present Mexican
war, and was a political abolitionist. But
WIN. Reed, Esq, was an Elder of the Pres

friend and obedient servant,
HENRY CLAY.

Ever since the duty of secession from the
u. S. government has been advocated, its
friends have been sneered at as ''do-nothing
aboIitionists,' especially by members of the
Liberty party. "Why," said they, ''slavery
is a creature of law, and it can only be abol-
ished by Legislative enactment. Talking
against slavery will not of itself do any good
you must role as we'll as talk" They
even went so far as to insist that TO vote was
a moral obligation, and that he who disfran-
chised himself, or refused to cast a ballot for
the slave was a traitor to liberty. Such is
their talk at the present day, and the terrible
results of a peaceful withdrawal of abolition
lists from a pro-slavery government, are pre-
dicted in almost the same terms as pro-slave-
ry in olden time prophesied the consequences
of a peaceful abolition of slavery.
Thousands however, have felt it to be their
duty to disfranchise themselves. because as
true men they could have no birth-right in an
oppressive government. They do not sell
their birthright, for they have none there (;
nut on tne hlSH SIOuIu VI pIlHclPle tHoJ
take their stand, Noved thereto by a lofty
sense of duty. Yet there are those who
claim a birthright in the government, who
believe in the potency of the bal!ot-box, and
in the duty of voting, who are willing to bar
Ter all these, aye, and more, for a mess of
newspaper pottage. DR.. Bailey, in a recent
editorial upon the nomination of a Liberty
party candidate for the Presidency, says,
"As to voting, we who live at the seat Of
Government, have no vote. We are non-en-
titles in politics, so that we cannot feel the
same personal interest in the matter which
citizens Of the United States are expected to
feel"
So speaks DR.. Bailey, italics and all he
having, as it would seem, thrown away his
ballot, cast from him the staff Of accomplish
ment, become a political nOn-entity, battered
his governmental birthright for a fat subscrip-
ton list. For the sake of erpedieney, he

Annual Meeting.

The next Annual Meeting of the Western
Anti-Slavery Society will DO held at New
Lyme, Ashtabula county, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday. the 18th, 10Th g. Goth
Of August, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Let the friends of Freedom come up in null
titudes TO the gathering! Let there be such
an assemblage as will make glad the heart of
the slave, and hasten the day of his %redemp-
ton! Let all who can possibly attend be
there. At a time like this the friends of IL
berty have not a single man to spare. Now
is the hour for action-zeal, energy and firm
ness are needed now. We must not suffer
the %victors' shouts of triumph that come up
from the plains of Mexico to drown the voices
of those who are pleading for humanity. We
must not allow the National exulta,ion for
triumphs upon the battlefield, and the rem
zied love for military glory to roll over the
land without an effort to restrain them.
Our duty is plain, our work is before us,
and the present is ours to labor in. Shall we
be faithful 10 the trust reposed in US, or re-
creant TO the high duty we owe our country
the world, our brother, and our Creator?
Beside the advocates of emancipation in
the West, we expect to have with us on that
occasion, VIM. LLOYD GARRISON, JAMES n.

Patent Advertising.

Our readers have doubtless become some
what acquainted with an ingenious mode of
advertising which has been resorted to of late.
For instance; a man who is a manufacture
of pocket knives, wishes to introduce them
to public notice, and he straightway makes a
splendid article, and sends it with compli-
mentary letter to Henry Clay, or some other
great man, informing him where it was man
ufactured. A grateful acknowledgment from
the recipient of the gift of course follows, in
which is ingeniously introduced a commenda-
ton of the article presented. This, together
with the letter of presentation, is published
and goes the rounds of the papers much to
the satisfaction of the benevolent donor,
whose mandatory thus gets pulled at nc
other cost than a handsome pocket knife
Such a correspondence appeared in a recent
number of the National lntelllgencer.
Below is a somewhat similar one, which
came into our hands, we shall not tell how
nor must our readers be too curious to know
Il is perhaps best to add that we do not vouct
for its authenticity.

Criminality of American Citizenship.

Man owes certain obligations to his Crea-
tor which he is not at liberty to violate under
any circumstances The duty of each indi-
vidual should be performed faithfully, not
influenced by the wishes of friends, not per-
verted by the united or separate efforts of any
who neither regard their brethren nor fear the
law of Him who has established as an i'm
mutable truth that sin always brings its own
penalty upon the agent or author.
The responsibility, the conduct, the moral
character, the liability of no individual is to
be changed or materially modified by the re-
lations of children to parents, husband to
wife and rice verSa-either by citizenship oil
the relation of a citizen to the goverpment he
may be under. If a father be wholly given
over to sheep-stealing, and compel his sons,
so long as they remain under his care, to dc
the same, are they free from guilt if they con-
iinue to adhere to his ~authority7 No. Their
clear and explicit duty is to withdraw from
his authority, to repudiate and shake Off his
rule over them, and free themselves from all
that is evil. So when a government has be-
come manifestly corrupt, and efforts are in
vain made to reform it, It's the duty of every
well disposed citizen to renounce his allie
glance thereunto, for ii is as impossible for
an honest, intelligent man to support, to up
hold a vile, corrupt government, as it would
be for Satan TO enter the kingdom of heaven
while burning with malice against all that
bears the attributes of Goodness.
And how is it with regard to the govern
ment of the United States! Can man indi-
vidually live in accordance with the Divine
law of his being, lead a virtuous, uslul life,
and give it his countenance and support -
If so, then it is what it processes to be; and
this is a,land in which all the inhabitants are
allowed to enjoy equal privileges, each being
permitted to pursue the course he believes
best calculated to secure his own happiness
provided it does not interfere with the RIGHTS
OF others. Is this the easel Alas! metbinks

The boy was raised in the town Of Negro

ArrearaGeS,
Recording Sec',y.

We design sending out with this No. of
the paper, bills to all who are in arrears from
the commencement of the 1st volume, for we
are sorry to have to say there are d few such
on our subscription list. We hope that this
reminder of what is our due will be sufficient
TO insure an immediate remittance from them.
If it is not, we shall strike their names from
our books, for we find but little that is attrac-
tive in the patronage of those who use their
.neighbors' service without hire, and give
them not for their work. The price of two
years subscription is quite as much as we
feel disposed to bestow gratuitously upon
those who promised to give an equivalent for
the papers they received, and afterwards re-
fuse to do so.
If any of those to whom we enclose bills
have paid our agents, or forwarded money to
this office which has not been placed to their
credit, they will please inrorm us of the fact,
and the mistake shall be rectifed.
