Nature has placed the natural eye OF man
unon the sgont side Of the head. False ed
uration has twisted around the mental eye
of some men, so that 1t looks ont at the
back side of the head. Hence the two par
ties in the world--ihc Forward looking,and
The Backward looking; OF the Progrcsslves
and the ReirogreSSlves.

There is no kings crown or head upon it
On one side is wreath encircling the words
IS Francs, lS48." On the circle between
he wreath and the edge of the coin are the
words " Republique Franchise" On the
other side are three figures which are not
exactly NEUROLOGICAL, but are no worse for
that. The centre figure is evidently Her

side of him is a female figure. One has a
staff, surmounted with hand opened up

their hands being united in front. These
two females may represent Liberty and f.

deuce, I'LL the arches of Faneuil Hall echo

better appreciation Of slavery. no more hated

hrouuht into the Union, after the North had
felt angeted by constant insult, and still.

ers. than when he left Massachusetts to 20

Well, if the last fifty years are to be the

the Unionl DO you hope for any better
men! Can we hope for any better times!
VIII YOU find any honesier men than those

Are their children any honesier ! trow not.
There are no hOuester men than they were.
They expected of it freedom. We have tried
the experiment and ii has resulted in the ex-
tension Of slavery. You know that the
Adanses, the jays, the Lees, Governor
Morris, Luther Martin, Roger Sherman.
Judpo Wilson, you know that these men,
v.ben they framed the Constitution, had
the hone, the expectation that his instrument
would result in the emancipation of the slave.
Is he not recreanl 10 his duty, who, with the
experieEce Of The last fifty years, says | will
disgrace their memory-l will say they lied
when they hoped liberty from the Consiitu-
ton Of the United States; they meant that
slavery should rule at the capitol; thew
meant that the Northern States should be the
vassal of the South, that slavery should over
lean everything; that it should govern the
Northern politics, the Northern press, the
Northern conscience; ! accept the legacy, |

that we did not mean to shipwreck the cause

Annual Meeting.

The 9th Annual Meeting of the WESTERN
A%NTl-SLAvERY Society will be held at Sa-
lem, Columbiana Co., on Wednesday, Thurs
day, and Friday, the 10th, l7th, and 18th of
August, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Let d full representation Of the slaves
friends come up on this occasion from all
parts of the Great West. The political lead
ers are marshalllng their hosts for a conflict,
their followers are rallying by hundreds Of
thousands to the support of their party BAN
ners. Time, and money, and labor are ex-
pended to secure their object. And shall the
friends of Freedom, whose faith should be
strong in the power of Truth, be lukewarm
and Indifferent while politicians are so ear
nest ia their labors, so untlrlng in their zeal!
The events of the past year should encourage
us to renewed effort, for every movement OF
importance which has been made, having any
bearing upon the question OF slavery, tore
shadows the destruction Of the system, and
the oppressors feel that it is so. The poIIti-
cal parties will make a desperate effort TO save
themselves from the destruction their corrup-
ton has brought upon them; and the efforts
of the abolitionists TO maintain and enforce
the Right should be proportionably great
Arrangements should be made at the coming
meeting to continue the anti-slavery agitation
by the lips of the living speaker, and to ex.
tend more widely the circulation of the So
ciety's paper-the Anti-Slavery Bugle. lie
none of the friends who can be there, absen
themselves for any light cause, for the pre-
sence of all, and the counsel Of all is desira
Bile.
Besides the friends of Liberty in the Yves
who will be present on the occasion, HENRY
C. WRIGHT and CHAs. c. DURLElGH are eX
pected to be in attendance, and perhaps otbeI
representatives of the East.

fulfill their part of the contract, and receive
in return the price of blood. This is no more
than might be expected of those who do not
claim to be abolitionists, yet the fact, and the
declaration of the South that it is a fact that
all her dependence for the perpeIaity or pro-

and guarantees Of the Constitution, should
lead every abolitionist to take firm and de-
cided stand against that compact, which our
fathers, in an hour of darkness, or weakness,
or wickedness entered into with the South.
Let not the approaching political contest
render them oblivious Of this fact, but let
every one who loves the slave remember it is
the South who declares-an interested wit
ness, it is true, but whose testimony in this
case is therefore entitled to greater weight
that it is to the Constitution alone that slave
ry looks for support. Let them remember
that every man who, by casting his vote I'M
der it, becomes a party TO the contract there
written out, and in so doing s%ustains that
which s%ustains slavery, strengthens that
which strengthens slavery, and endorses that
which endorses slavery.

or foes, whetheri it is perverted from its origi-
nal design, or used as the builders intended
it should be the fact that it protects the enc
my who cannot be dislodged without the des-
~truction of his defence, is not affected by it.
