4 Louisiana paper, of recent date, contains
the following announcement
NOTICE.-Several respectable citizens
have informed US that there is a fellow in
this place, who is in the habit of holding
close conversation with the slaves about town,
and those upon the plantations which he hap
pens TO visit.
We have also been told that a respectable
planter on Bayou Lafourche intends TO give
him twenty-five lashes ir he ever catches him
again on his place.
If these things be true. and we see no rea-
son 10 doubt it, would it not be well for us
TO keep a sharp look out on the movements
of such fellowsl
We are now in a precarious situation, a
great many Of our most efficient men have
gone out to defend the country, and we DO
not think it prudent, at such a time ds this,
TO permit men of rather suspicious characters
10 tamper with our slaves under the cloak OF
a profession.
The citizens Of Louisiana having sent their
deficient men" to Mexico, TO fight for the
extension Of slavery, under the p%retence OF
defending their country, naturally fear that
the example may prove an useful one to the
victims Of their oppression at home, and that
they may take the opportunity. to give the
world practical evidence that they agree with
their masters in the belief, that resistance
10 tyrants, is obedience 10 God" And per-
haps these shareholders are apprehenslve that
their slaves have sufficient intelligence to
reason thus, "If it be honorable and noble
and Christian, to pour out human blood on
the battlefield, to lay cities in ruin, to mas
sacre men, women and children, for the sake
! of strengthening and extending slavery, how
much more honorable and Christian must il
be. to do such deeds for the sake of restoring
liberty to enslaved millions !" 1t lisa dan
gerous lesson which You are teaching your
bondmen, We warning enslavers Of your fell
low men. DECEASED in intellect as you have
succeeded in making them, they can still rea-
son too acutely for your safety, and you haz-
ard much when you permit your shouts for
liberty, your Fourth of July celebrations,
your boasts of brave and patriotic s%ires, and
your Qualification of this Mexican war, 10
erect their eager eyes or ears. The veal OF
your peculiar institution demands silence,
deep as death, upon all such topics.
But what a commentary is this "Notice'
upon the frequent and bold assertions o~fslave'
holders and their aPologists, that the slaves
are happy and contented, and would
not take tnelr lfeeuoW II IL was ohele'
to them Such testimony as il contains, a
least, saves us the trouble Of attempting t
prove that the advocates of slavery do moi
generally, believe their own assertions res
pecting the slaves willingness to wear hi
, chains. We are glad that the Lonisianian
are waking up to a consciousness OF thel
''precarious situation" Its difficulties an
dangers are fast Increasing, and there is b.
! one way Of escape from hem.-Pe"nsyran

platform, at the south end Of the Hall, facing
the door of entrance at the north end. The
Hall, as | look off from the platform, seems
like a forest of evergreens over the platform

hind it and one at each end-so that | I'm
really sitting and writing beneath cedar trees,
and hid under their branches. Across the
platform is a line, fastened a: each end TO the
cedars, and on the line hangs a splendid
black satin %visite, or cloak, the work and
contribution of Mary Welsh. On the left Of
the platform is the Book table, where sits
Maria w. Chapman; on the right of it is
the Edinburgh table, and down in front of it
is the Glasgow table. Down further, in the
centre of the Hall, and directly under the
immense g~asalier, is the Toy stand,-a large
circular counter, or table, covered with all
imaginable toys for children, of all materials,
forms, sizes and shapes from the New Ha-
ven fsh-wife, Of Scotland, with her creel on
her back, going to market, TO the splendid
wax doll from Bridgewater, in England "a
toy which is the admired Of all doll admi-
rers. That table is, at this moment, sur
rounded by admiring and enrapt children,
making the hall ring with their merry and
delighted exclamations. 1t is impossible 10
sit here and look down upon that enraptured
thTong of children, and not feel that it is
good and pleasant TO be here. Ii is worth a
voyage over the Atlantic to see that table and
the delighted little ones who at this moment
surround it. To crown the enchantment, the
TOW stand is EMPOWERED in beautiful higi
arches of evergreen, and the gas lights re
fleet a glorious light upon the whole group
On each side of the Hall are two lows of Ia
bles, or stands, and several women attend
ing at each-some standing behind, and som,
in front of the tables, to accommodate tn
purchasers. On the right of the entrance
door to the Hall, is the Provision table, co
vered with all sorts of fruits and vegetabl
food and ice creams. Ice creams in winter

an Anti-Slavery argument, is Of still greater
value. No man or woman can come here
as thousands do-and not 20 away deeply

ocally TO the Shareholders and their abettors,
s~aying-"The sentiment Of the world is

Hall, since the 2lst, has uttered the voice Of

{. NJ. CLAY.

The following is extracted from a letter
written by Mr.. Clay 10 the Louisville Exam
liner.
''The true friends of the South were not
behind their brothers Of the free States in
feeling the evils of slavery. Not content
with injecting the pulpit, the Legislative Hall,
and the social circle, it breathed upon the
liberty Of the press, and despairing silence
sat upon millions. Here and there, at long
intervals, some one more daring than the rest,
gave uIterance TO the boldest instincts Of ma
ture, and spoke out against the giant curse
1t was but a momentary ripple on vast sea,
whose waters again subsidized into more than
original stagnation.
The "Examiner" has succeeded the "True
American" My detention in a Mexican pri-
son delayed my return longer than was anti
cipated: the editor Of the Examiner" has
forestalled my wishes, and is now fulfilling
all my obligations TO my subscribers by SUBJ
shutting his paper for mine. Those who
have seen both papers, will not regret the
change. | ask for him the continuance OF
that generous support in that cause which
was in lie shown dear TO so many noble A.
mericans. The first scene in the drama is
accomplished: brighter hopes dawn upon
Kentucky and the American Republic. The
extraordinary events at home and abroad fol
the last few years, have aroused the con
sciences and startled the minds Of millions.
Go read Guizot's History of Civilization
and take courage. Faith in the progress o
mankind is no longer the dream of 'jarafics.'
The spirit of large and liberal inquiry, an,
consequent amelioration, is moving all ma
tons. The land Of '76" cannot long follow
in the unwilling wake ofTrans-.AilanIic des
potism in securing the liberties Of men. A

otherwise she would not devote her superior
talent and energy to building up a political
party, which does not recognize her right to
participate in politics. Perhaps, she does
not think it right for women to have a direct
voice ia the Government. We think, how

SO, she would think herself, LAS many of the

GRAHAM's MAGAzrNE.-The January No.
of this popular Magazine has CONS to hand.
The engravings of this Number are We
ry fine, and the contents generally interest
ing. One Of the engravings is a portrait of
Gen. Butler. We are sorry that the pub
fishers are so badly of for subjects for their
exquisite embellishments, as to be under the
necessity of seeking them among the "Army
Heroes" Can it be that the tastes Of the
readers of the Magazine demand that the
portraits of these men of blood should be
thus placed before them? We would fain
hope better things than this. We shall re-
joice if the publishers are taught that their
patrons do not want the portraits of such
men.
How great the contrast between the beau
tiful mezzotint engraving of "lnnocence,"
and the portrait of the "Hero" General But

FREE WILL BAPTISTS.

The following resolution and accompany
ing remarks have been handed us for publ
cation. The resolution is very singular and
a very indefinite one. What is meant By a
Recommended christian we are puzzled to
imagine. The publication of the resolution
ii We are correctly informed, is asked for on
account Of reports having beer circulated that
the meeting houses referred to, have been re-
p~eatedly refused TO the ad 7ocates or reform,
which reports we fear are but too true. This
resolution goes rather to confirm the charges
it seems to us, than to remove the impress
sion that they are true.

FRIENDS EDIToRs:-
1t is "a we'll known fact that the Free will
BGpiists are a society Of reformers, believing
it takes all moral and religious subjects to
constitute pure and undefled religion. We
believe no man can be a christian and not he
concerned for the welfare of mankind. We
believe we ought to speak out against all
evil. Believing slavery to be the greatest evil
that ever polluted the American soil, we
therefore take an active ,part in the Anti
Slavery reform. We also actively engage in
the Temperance movement. At the recent
Conference at New Middleton, the following
resolution among others, was adopted.
V. Il.
Resoirea, That in the opinion of this Con.
ference it would be right to open our meeting
house to all recommended christians, to
to speak upon all moral and religious sub
jects.
