Advice.
H.. REEVE.

Give to society all that is due, tell the peo-
pie what they have done, and what they have
not done that they ought 10 do. Never over
turn what virtue there is in the world-if
the church has any moral honesty, or any of
her members, they are entitled to the credit
of it: if they are stubborn, s. rebuke them
sharply, that they may be sound in the faith
Never fritter away Tie truth for the sake of
their good will or i'll will. Lecturers need
a great degree of meekness, but not enough
to make friends with the devil or his associ-
ales. 1t is an old adage, that "a sermon is
not worth much unless the devil is made
mad "-if he is some one or more is bene.

To THE EDIroRs OF THE BrGLr -

To THE EDIToRs OF THE BrGLE -
My attention was called TO an article in
your paper Of last week, from the pen Of Ham
mond Thomas.
Tho article is, beyond all doubt, intended
to injure the reputation of the American
House, and is in itself a SANDER upon its land
lord. ] AIN sorry to see such an effort put
forth, especially in a paper purporting, in cv-
cry number, to be in favor of Temperance.
The truth of the matter is, that this same Mr..
Thomas had sought employment in the ser
vice Of the landlord Of the American House,
and for reasons not necessary here to enume-
rate, he was not employed. And afterwards
a conversation is distorted, and misrppresent-
ed, in order TO inlict an injury upon one
whom he could not reach by iruih. Tempe
rance men and anti-slavery men, who were
known TO he such, have testified of his hos
pitality through the nj dunn Of the press;
and rs a citizen and a Temperance man, with
others, ] have always considered the AIneIi-
House as a great auxiliary to the cause
of Temperance in this village, and a benefit
to community in general. The card below
will set the matter TO rights.

others a SAVIOR Of death unto death. We
have a great work before us-our platform is

sentiment. We invite all irue.hearied reo-
pie to assist; and | expect they would, if
they could behold the labor Of love we are
engaged in. NJ. f.

HOrrid Massacre Of HISTORIANS,

The N Y. Courier publishes from the cor
respondence of the London papers long ac-
count Of the massacre Of large number Of
HISTORIAN Christians by order of their great
prosecutor, Beder Khan Bey, in the month Of
October last. 1t seems that Beder Khan Bey
collected various detatchments of troops under
the command of the Beys of Halkasia and Be-
var himself taking command of large body
Of Kurds, marched into the country of the de.
fenceless and unresisting HISTORIANS He ther
divided his force into small parties, and fell upol
the villages. The correspondent of the Nor
ming Chronicle gives the following revolving
details of this expedition

trials, have been said and sung the world over,
and enlisted the worlds sympathy and admira-
ton. And yet the dangers which Charles Ed.
ward braved, and the suferings he endured, we
venture to think were less than those which this
poor ignorant negro encountered. Every man,
woman, and child, among whom the former
sought refuge, were intent, at every sacrifice, to
succor and save him from the fangs of the sold
iery who hunted him. Every man, woman, and
child, in the slave States, are bent upon arrest
ting the fugitive slave, and none may aid or sue
cor
How Jonathan Thomas contrived to elude
his pursuers and for eleven weeks to drag his
weary way, crippled as he was, through Ken
lucky, Virginia, and Maryland, to Baltimore,
where fortune favored him, is more than we can
conceive. Nor is it well yet to divulge the ways
and help which sometimes avail with stout
heart and determined resolution, to free slave
from American bondage
From Baltimore to Boston, by a rare combi-
nation of circumstances, he was enabled to trav-
ell with ease and despatch By another turn Of
good fortune he was directed to call upon the
slaves friend at Boston, who Immediately add
mnstered to his wants, and placed his leg I'M
der surgical advice. Upon his first arrival it
was painful, and to our common nature humili-
atng, to observe the fear and suspicion that
haunted him in the presence of white men. 1t
required some little assurance to convince him
that they could be his brethren. His untutored
gratitude and joy, when this truth was realized
would have touched the heart of the most invet-
crate despiser of his race In one week after
his arrival, he was comfortably seated in the cars
on the Western railroad with all the means
necessary, of reaching his anxiously expecting
wife and children in Canada.
Doubtless there are many under whose eye
ibis brief narrative Of common occurrence may
fall, whose misfortune, or IT may be whose fault
it u.s. to feel no interest in, or look with contempt
upon manly struggle and heroic achievement
when performed by one of the despised race
Let such remember that the negro is none the
less their BROTHER aud that he is d" God image"
though carved in ebony; and let the Christian
and the citizen, by such occurrences as this, be
ever reminded of the gross hypocrisy and wrong
that prevails in this boased land of freedom,
and is sanctioned and is sustained by he Church,
and State, of which he is an equal and respon-
sibe member

The Whig Party and Mr.. GiddinaS

Here at the North, and especially in those
States, Districts or Counties where the whie
party is in great need of votes, and the Lbert,
men have many votes, and the state of public
feeling indicates probability that they will have
more, it is quite common for the idea to be sed
ulousIy inculcated that the views held by such
men as Mr.. Gddings, Mr.. Pallrey, and the like
are the views of the wing party. We have been
obliged to take great pains to couneract this
false pretence, and still it keeps coming up a.
gain. Now we have ample evidence that such
men as these are merely tolerated in the whq
party because they are neceSsary-and because
they serve as "decoy-ducks" to secure some alb
clifton votes which the party cannot do without
But their abolition views are wholly rejected by
the party, and they themselves are always made
to know their place, by indignation which would
seem sufficient to arouse their selErespect Our
readers will see the sketch of Mr. Giddings's
speech on the war. 1t does him honor, and ex-
hibits in the main, the true position Of a christ
ian patriot And we have no doubt it would
exert an influence, if he stood on independent
ground; but SO long as he leaves it to be under
stood that his party which rejects all his posi-
TONS may rely upon his vote and upon his in
Auence to keep the votes of other aboIitionists
they are content to let him talk as he pleases
and simply disown and treat him individually
with indgniiy. The Atlas speaks of his speech
thus
" A sharp and very improbable discussion
occurred in the House between Mr. Gliding anC
Mr.. Payne, on the reference of the President
message which necessarily involved discussion
Of the cause and objects of the war, and calico
out bitter expressions on both sides Mr.. Payne
assumed that Mr.. Giddngs spoke for the viii!
party and treated his argument accordingly
though he has had quite enough experience il
the House to know that Mr.. Giddngs embodie
no such authority"
! And the New York Tribune, which some Q
our friends have Supposed to be nearly an anti
slavery paper, says
"Some Loco Foco is usually in the chat
when the House is in Committee of the Whole
In the excitement of debate, there are some
times twenty or thirty members on the foe
shouting and gesturing to catch the Speaker
eye and ear. 1t too frequently happens that
if any wing, whose views are not sustained
the party, is up, he gets the floor in preference
to some truer exponent of our principles. II
for instance, debate arises on question in
| volving slavery, the floor is given rather to Mr.
Giddings, whose views are not recognized b
the whole wing party, that his opinions may b
quoted as wing doctrine in the South"

State Convention,

We publish this week the call of the Committee for
the annual State Convention. Let the Liberty men
and women be. making preparations to attend this
meeting. We need an od-fashioned, grand rally, such
as was had at Randolph two years. and at Rochester
three years ago. Don't begin to argue-the distance
is great-Ihe weather is severe--the snow-drhs are
almost msumounabe, and it will be of little use to GO
We have reasoned thus too long already Millions of
bondmen raise their imploring to Us, and their only
hope of delverance is in the fidelity and vigilance
with which we labor in their behalf Yes, the New
Years day which has Just passed. laden with rejoicing
and hilary to u.s. has witnessed the sunderng of thou
sands of heartstrings upon the auction block through
out the slave land and their groans and blood and tears
are crying to a righteous God for vengeance. Millions
of benighted brethren yearnng to be fed from
the tree of knowledge; pershng for the Bread of
Life, and the waters of Salvation. And shall we in
such time this sit down supiney, Jonah-like On
der our gourd, t. witness the death Of all their
fond hopes and the consummaton of their temporal and
eternal ruin? Shall we, while the powers that rule the
land are pouring out its blood and treasure to enlarge
the aera and multiply the victims of this cruel opprcs-
sion while slavery sits enthroned in all the high pa
of power both in Church and State threatening to
destroy with its pesferous breath all that is dear to
in this life, or hoped for in the life to come
shall we fail to use all the means which "Chrstans may
and Freemen can" to vindcate our religion and re-
publicanism from this burning reproach?
Why is it that the Liberty in Vermont has
made so little progress comparatively during the past
year, while in New hampshire Maine, Massachusetts
and many other States, the Liberty increase has beer
almost without precedent? Is it not for the want of a
more hearty adoption of the cause of the suffering
bondman our otOn-for want ola juster appreciation
of the amazing interests involved in enterprise, ant
the great lack of prayenul systematic, patient and per
severing labor? These and these alone, are the true
reasons. Let then, the Liberty men and women of the
State prepare to come up to this annual ro"'Vca
ton of free spirits and con0oo'ute themselves anew
upon the altar of Freedom and Humanity. Let the
work be commenced with spirit and determination
worthy ofthe righteous in which we engaged
and we shall surely succeed, and meet with glorious
reward.
0J@Wh regard to speakers from abroad we cal
only say, that MILTON CLARKE, the WHITE sLAvI
from Kentucky, will be present, and efforts are being
made to secure the services of Others of the success
which, due notice will be given hereafter.

without completing all the improvements with which
we designed to commence the new volume
FUTURE COURsE.-WIth regard to our future course,
we have no loud promises or empty boastings to make
choosing rather to let the past be guaranty for the
future. While the chief aim of the Freeman will con-
tinue to be, to discuss the great subject of Human
Rights in all its bearings and endeavor to arouse the
whole community to the fact that the first great duty
they owe to American Repubcansm, is, to wipe out
the dung lie which slavery has written upon its page,
and their first duty to God to regard His image
still, we shall continue, as heretofore, to devote lib
era space to Temperance, Education History, Agri-
culture, Moral and Religious reading, and whatever
tends to improve and elevate the condition of society
and aid parents in training their children for usefulness
here and happiness hereafter.
NEW SUBscRIBERs.-Now is the time to send in
new subscribers for the Freeman; and we assure all
our friends that need their aid and the cause needs
their aid, in increasing the circulation of the Freeman
Liberty papers are starting up in different sections Of
the state which will necessarily draw off many of our
subscribers in their vicinity and our only hope of sus-
tanning ourselves and meeting the heavy liabilities we
have incurred in endeavorng to meet the necessities
OF the cause throughout the state depends upon the
degree of interest manifested by the friends generally
to extend our circulation. Our grateful acknowledge
ments are due to several who have taker deep inter
est in our behalf and added materially to the subscr
bers to the Freeman.
STOPPING PAPERs.-If any of our subscribers have
determined upon stopping the Freeman (which we
sincerely hope is not the case, let them no,c, thro
their postmaster, order their paper discontinued, in
stead of delaying five or six weeks and then return
paper or send letter taxing us with the postage

SOM of the Slave.

This boosted land, so free and brave,
Has robb'd me of my all
Pronounces me a chattel slave,
And holds my limbs in thrall.
They stole away the noble crown
My maker gave to me,
And hurl'd me from my manhood down
Among the beasts to be.
They would not let my mind arise,
Aspiring to be free,
Lest should learn the boon
Of glorious Liberty.
They veil'd my souls immortal light
With shadows dim and drear,
And bid me in the cheerless night
Drag out each weary year.
Should l, because God gave to me
A skin of darker hue,
To frail mortal bend the knee,
And for his favor sue?
All, No! scorn the hateful thought;
cannot be a slave;
| tciA not be at auction bought
I'd rather find my grave.
And have left the sunny land,
Where bitter waters flow,
And here before you wounded stand,
My griefs to let you know.

is no way to keep such from deserving a pro-
