"The grand army are here, en- route to

Vera Cruz, of its success have no doubt.
There is something inspirating in the ap-
pearance of our army--the cannon, the
banners, the music. Worth is in his glory,
he commands the finest division OF the
army, and will doubtless be next in COM
mand to Scott, as General Taylor will not
presume, go with them. Whether he
will remain OIL the line, or go home on

no news from him for a month. We get
most of our army intelligence from the

however, by means OF their spies, which
are as humorous as the nation. Every

The Concert that was 10 be.

A number Of friends have inquired Of us,
whether it was expected that the singers who
were in attendance at New Lyme would be
at the Convention at Salem. We were then
unable TO give a definite answer, but have
just received a letter which assures us that
a portion Of them will be here-Cornelia r.
Cowles of Buffalo, Be,sey NJ. Cowles of
Grand River institute, and Mr.. and Mrs. Bis
sell Of Aus,inburg. When it was ascertain
ed that there was a probability of their COM
ing, some Of the anii-slavery friends thought
it desirable, that whilst here they should give
a concert Of anti-slavery and other reformato-
ry and moral songs, and accordingly applied
to the Cd Baptist church-the self-styled
anti-slavery church, be it remembered-for
the use Of its meeting house, not doubling
but it would be freely granted, as it had re-
sounded not many months before with CdkO-
mel and Anti CaEo-msi songs, &c. The APP
p~licants were mistaken. Those having it in
charge, we suppose, were afraid that moral
and reformatory sentiments would shock the
religious sensibilities Of The worshippers
there. We are unable in any other way to
account for their refusal to open it; and per-
haps the Trustees may be surprised to learn
that all of the singers are members in good
and regular standing in Evangelical church
es, the first named receiving, as we have
been informed, a stated salary from Baptist
church in Buffalo for her musical services.
We detest such littleness OF soul, and con-
temptible bigOtry as the I'd Baptist church Of
Salem manifests. 1t blasphemes the God OF
Freedom, and uses his name in vain when it
claims to be an advocate for Liberty.

How THEY LOVE THE coLoRED MANA
Washington correspondent of the True Dem
ocrat, says,
"a short time since, about IA slaves were
manumitted by will, on condition of being
transported to Liberia. They were District
slaves, by sole permission of the whole peo-
pie of the United States. A report is atioat
that Mr.. Mclean, Secretary to the Colonial
ton Society, has given orders to have one oil
the men slaves worked in the colony with a
chain and ball, until he shall have paid for
his cost to the Society. In my next shall
probably be enabled to furnish all the accu-
rate information about the matter"
The report is probably untrue, but if il
were literally so, the Treatment would not be
more cruel than that which is bestowed up
on the colored man by very many Of the
friends and supporters of that Society, its
President, Henry Clay, not excepted.

Said he, one day, to member of the class,

The reply was promptly given, and in the
negative.

one hand within the other, as though he was

NEGROES

1t is cur private opinion, publicly express
ed, that the negroes Of this town and lis vi.
cinity, ought TO be a little more restricted in
their night tSaking privilege we have, with.
In the last few we, ks, frequently observed
negroes OF both sexes, prowling about the
streets, at all hours Of the night, without the
least apparent fear Of the threatened conse-
quences. Ask them, as we have, il they
are not afraid Of the night watch, and their
reply will be
ooh no, the night watch never troubles
me-"
This state Of things should not be permit
ted there is no safety to property where the
negroes are suffered to roam ut large, after
the usual hours of retiring; and life even is
hazarded by such unbridled license.
This subject has been urged upon our at
tention by several Of our most respectable
citizens; and personal observation has ron
vinced us of the propriety Of their complaints.
We do not know precisely who are the guar
dams of the town-the Board of Trustees
but we do Know tina: some regulation ouph,
to be adopted by the Board, and its action
enforced, by which the negroes would be de.
barred from prowling about the streets aftel
10 o'clock at night, without a written permi
from their masters. If some such regulation
is not put in execution, our citizens will er,
long suffer much more serious injury thai

Slavery vs.. Light.

She is the same dragon-hearted bag she
always was. No night bird or beast Of prey
ever hated the day-dawn, or shrunk so in.
stinctively from the light as does slavery
Talk of teaching slaves to read, and giving
them the Bible while their masters hold them
as chattels You would as soon persuade
the coal miner TO carry a naked light into the
sulphurous gas of the deep unyentilated mine,
as to induce the masters to open their slave
prisons for the lamp of Truth. Slavery breeds
a fire damp, which will not bear that light
you will have an explosion. The tyrants
know it, if our Northern Christians do not.
