Henceforth let the society say no more

How potent ate the attributes Of honesty and
virtue! Thus we see these ennobling quail,
ties so prominent in the character of General
Taylor, attracting towards him an association
of his fellow citizens proverbial for their up
rightness and the moral virtues that adorn
human nature. 1t is a high compliment to
be SO esteemed by the Friends COrTesPon-
dence of the National I~nfehigenesr.
The early Friends were as free from the
spirit Of the vote-the brute power in which
the majority rule, right or wrong-and as
free from the spirit of all governments found

pure gold is free from dToss or Tust. So far

For the authenticity Of the following letter
we cannot vouch. Indeed, from internal evil
dence we would almost venture 10 pronounce
it a Roorbach, Notwithstanding we found ii
som days since among our other letters from

rent Of his, and a friend TO the Abolitionists,
whose opinions he values. We can conceive
Of such a person.

~ Political slavery is an abomination in
the eyes of our friends on the other side of
the Atlantic-social slavery an unobjectiona-
BILE condition of humanity. We have receiv-
ed a file of New Yok papers, and there is
much amusement, if but little information, TO
be extracted from the anomalous tumble of
ideas in which the citizens of the United
State are involved by the actual situation of
American and European affairs. The figure
OF a spare, yellow slnewy man, holding in
one hand a red banner, inscribed with the
words, " Death to Tyrants," and in the 9TH
er, a cat-o'-nine-tails, would afford a not in
opposite image Of the present condition OF
the American mind as reflected in the press.
For every invective hurled against the "des'
pots :" of the Old World, there will be found
as a counterpart, somt u f cling joke againsI
the pretensions of The coiored population Of
the States TO raise themselves TO civil and
social liberty. We have the quasi wing can
didature Of Zachary Taylor, and the free sol
candidatuTe of Mr.. Van Buren,; we have abo
liiionism "in white and black Slices" &C
cerding 10 the complexion of the assailant'
of the odious principle {; we have the Irish as
ISOLATION publishing a manifesto, in which i
announces that the Irish rebellion has pro
we'd an abortion, but at the same time init
mates its determination TO retain possession
of the funds raised in the States in aid Of IN
movement, without accountability, until Ire
land shall become a republic, or some othe
Greek Kalend contingency of the like kinC
shall occur; finally, we have a report of tn
triumphant reception given to Hecker, tn
Geman refugee, the representative, OF tn
massacres and sanguinary tumult of Frank
fort, and a Numbering leading article in y
dicule and denunciation of the negroes
This is the white and black side of tn

philippics In favor of Liberty, Blanqui an
