The next item to which will direct the reader is
the nmation that this dragging the slavery of the
churches into mere political associations has exerted
parayzng influence, blghting the fair prospects and
whitening the energies Of abolitonism Frustrating her
lovely form to the ravages of that fell destroyer, while
the demon Of OPPRESSION taking fresh courage from
this circumstance, has rallied to the combat, and well
nigh demolished our much loved citadel, &c. From
the grave and affecting manner in which he speaks,
we should be led to think he handling self-evdent
facts As soon as had recovered myself little from
the influence of his eloquence, and begun to have So

things so? Has the cause Of abotionism been sus-

Stop the Engine.

saw an enormous engine, of tremendous power
with wheels innumerable, great and small rolling rap
idly 1t was put in motion by seam but at every
wheel was man, turning with all his strength. Some
turned with the hand some with the feet, and some
with the eye for some wheels turned by looking at
them. Though the whole worked together, one might
stop while the others moved on, but with a retarded
motion. looked at the top of the engine, and from it
stream of fire shot forth fre-brands arrows and
death, over the country The fre-braEds like blazing
meteors, lit upon houses, setting them on fire, and
throwing the people in dreadful CONSERVATION within
The sped their way the hearts Of women and
children and death flashed in at the windows. The
inhabitants cried out and fed from shelter to shelter
The distress increased, and the cry was, "Stop the
engine; put out the fire Fire fire fire The en-
CINE the engine !" The men at the wheels said
True, the evil is great but we make money by turn
ing 1t is a very profitable business and if we don't
turn somebody else will" One said, 81 cannot stop
the engine can stop but one wheel" But he was
told if he would stop, somebody else would stop AT
length the secret discovered for stopping the en-
gine--handle not-hands off. One let co. and anoh-
err; and the engine groaned and the wheels grated
Those who remained at the wheels tugged and sweat
and swore, to keep it in notion and cursed those who
had left. Loud cries raised to stop the engine
One said he was willing the engine should stop, but
kept his hand the wheel and tugged At length
they all gave over. The engine stopped, and peace
and quiet were restored. Let every man pushing
on the engine Intemperance let 60 his hold, and it
would stop and thirty thousand victims about to be

THE FIR E L M A N .
For the Green Mountain Freeman.
My Country is not Free.

What mean those signs, what mean those groans,
And meanings of distress,
That in our country may be heard?
Who is it thus oppressed?
Whence comes that sad and mournful wall
That's waited by the breeze,
That mingles with the sounds of JOY
And shades our nations peace?
Why, tell me, why that Mother shrieks
With auguish'd looks so wild?
Why from her arms is borne away
That little darling child?
And tell me why from her he loves
That husbands forced go,
And that so often may be heard
The cry and the oppressors blow
All, is it not where slavery relgns
With its oppressive sway,
Where Brother from his Brother takes
His lawful rights away?
Yes, from the Delaware's bright flow
Unto Mississippis wave,
And too, beyond that river far,
In bondage weeps the slave.
But can this, can His be the land
Whose once oppressed sons
Their liberty SO bravely gained
The land of Washington?
Alas, my Country! yes It's thce
Thy sins are known to Cod
His vengeance waits thee: thou art guilty too,
Of the martyr Torey's blood.
From slaverys reign that Brother sought
The poor oppressed to guide,
The wrongd assisted twas for this
That he martyr died,
Oh, do not call my country free;
IT'S only free in part,
For now her Eagle banner waves
Der land Of slavery dark

DUTY Of Select Men.

We would call the special attention of the select
Of the various towns Of the State whose duty it is
to town meetings, to the following section Of the
License Laws
SEC. 9. The meeting of the inhabitants of every
town in the State who are voters in town and free
mems meetings shall be holden at the usual place of
holding town meetings on the lst Tuesday in March,
l847, and each year, thereafter at o'clock in the
afternoon, which meetings shall be warned and gov
erned in all respects as provided in chapter thirteen of
the revised statutes, entitled "Of towns and villages"
and continue open until five O'clock P. NJ.
By this it will be perceived that separate and dis
tnct meeting from the ordinary town meeting is con-
templated by the statute, and therefore, a special
warning must be posted up at least ten days before
the first Tuesday in March. We would respectfully
suggest the following as a suitable form for warning
the meeting:
TOWN MEETING.
The inhabitants of -- are hereby warned to
meet at --- on the first Tuesday in March next, it
being the ID day, at o'clock, p NJ, for the purpose
of giving in their ballots either for against licensing

statute specifies whose duty it shall be to govern the
meeting. temperance Herald.

q be family Circle,
The Family Meeting,

BY CHARLES sPRAGUE.
We are all here
Father, Mother,
Sister, Brother,
All who hole each other dear.
Each chair is filled, we're all at home,
To night let no cold stranger come;
1t is not often thus around
Our old familiar hearth we're found,
Bless then the meeting and the spot,
For once be every care forgot,
Let gentle peace assert her power,
And kind affection rule the hour;
We're all-all here.
We're not all here!
Some are away--the dead ones dear
Who thronged with us this ancient hearth
And gave the hour to guiltess mlrth,
Fate with a STERN relentless hand,
Looked in and thnned our little band
Some like the night-hash passed away
And some sank, lingering day by day;
The quiet grave yard some lie there,
And cruel Ocean has his SHIRE
We're not all here.
We are all here!
Even they-the dead-though dead so dear,
Fond memory, to her duty tru2,
Brings back theirfaded forms to view.
How lfe-like through the mist of years,
Each well remembered face appears;
We see them as in times long past,
From each to each. kind looks are cast
We hear their words, their smiles behold,
They're round US as they were of old
We are all here.
We are all here
Father, Mother,
Sister, Brother
You that love with love so dear
This may not long of us be said
Soon must we join the gathered dead,
And by the hearth we now sit round,
Some other circle will be found
O then that wisdom may we know,
That yields life of peace below;
So in the world to follow this,
May each repeat, in words of bliss,
We're all--all here
