Farewell! farewell! is often heard

But give TO mo the lips that say
Tho honest words-'Good bye!'
A dienl alden! may greet the ear,
In the guise of courtly speech;
But when we leave the kind and dear,
TITS not what tho soul would teach.
Whenever we grasp the hands of those
We would have forever nigh:
The fame Of Friendship bursts and glows
In the warm, frank words G God bye!'
The mother sending forth her child
To meet with cares and strife,
Breathes thro' her tears, her doubts and fears
Fer the loved ones future life.
No cold 'udieu' no farewell lives
Within her closing sigh;
But the deepest sob ofanguish gives
God bless, thee boy! Good bye!'
Go watch the pale and dying one,
When the glance has lost its beam
when the brow is cold as the marble stone,
And the world passing dream;
And the latest pressure otthe hand,
The look of the closing eye,
Yield what the heart must understand,

His Views or the Subject Of Slavery
and Plan Of Emancipation.
New ORLEANS. Feb, u, 1S4

DEAR SIR-Pnor 10 my departure from
home in December last, in behalf of your.
self and other friends, you obtained from
me promise 10 make public exposition
ofmy views and opinions upon grave and
important question, which, il was then an
licipated would be much debated and con.
side!ed BY the people Of Kentucky, during
This year, in consequence Of the approach
lug Convention, summoned 10 amend their
present Constitution. I was not entirely
well when l left home, and owing TO that
cause, and my confinement several weeks,
during my sojourn in this city, from the
effects of an accident which betel me, !
have been delayed in the iulilment Of
my promise, which now propose to exc.
cute.
The grave question, TO which I allude
is whether African Slavery, as il now ex-
lists in entucky, shall be lett to perpetu
al or indefinite continuance, or SOME pro-
vision shall be made, in :he new Constilu
ton, for its gradual and ultimate exiinc-
lion.
A few general observations will suffice
my present purpose, without entering on
the whole SUBJECT of slavery, under all its
bearings and IN every aspect o! it. am
aware that there are respectable persons
who believe that slavery is blessing, that
the institution ought 10 exist in every well
organized society, and that il is even favor
able 10 the preservation Of liberty. Happi
ly the number who entertain these eXtravq
CANT opinions is not very great, and the
time would be nselessly occupied i'll the
elaborate refutaion of them. would
however, remark thatif slavery be fraugh
with these alleged benefits, the principle
on which it is maintained would require
that one potion ofthe white race should be
reduced to bondage 10 serve another por-
ton OF the same race, when black subjects
o slavery could moi be obtained; and tina
in Africa, where they may entertain as
great preference Tor their color as we do
for ours, they would be justified in redu.
cling the white race TO slavery, in order &c
secure the blessings which that state is saie
TO dllluse.
An argument, in supper, of reducing the
Africans 10 slavery, is sometimes derived
from their alleged intellectual inferiority te
the white races, bu; if this argument b'
founded in fact, Gas it may be, but which

CIRCULAR.

TIME UNDERSIGNED proposes 10 publish a
Il political Weekly paper in the German Ian
guage in the City Of Washington, in support OF the
principles by which the Administration of Gene
raj Taylor came into power, and being DESTROYS to
obtain the aid and cooperation OF theW hlg party
he would respectfully state the reasons which, in
his estimation make it desirable and necessary
that such paper should be established at the seat
of Government
l. The number of those who use the German Ian
guage as their medium of intercourse is upwards OF
Three Millions, and this number is constantly IN
creasing by immigration.
9 The name of Democrats being the appelaton
of the liberal or popular party OF Germany, 10
which all the immigrants before their emigration
belonged they do of course, range themselves with
the party bearing that appelation in this country
as soon as they able TO exercise the elective
franchise; and the more so, as the country teens
with Democratic papers in the German language,
whose particular object and anxiety 1T is to use this
misappeaton 10 the best advantage.
3. Although there few Wing papers IN the
country, they bear principally local character,
and relying for their support more on local patron
age than their subscription lists, they do gene
rally stand fall with the defeat of the
Wing party in their particular section.
4. The Germans, however, being an Intelligent
and reading people, are accessible to sound argu,
ment, and paper conducted with uPrightness' and
speaking the plain truth, will be able, by degrees,
TO overcome preludices, correct errors and misap-
prehensions, and by its own direct influence, as
well as by its influence upon the local Wing pa
pers, now IN existence, Will, IL Is hoped, produce
the desired effect and gain the rejecting and think
ing, that is the influential portion of the German
citizens, over to the Wing ranks.
s. The undersigned is well aware that he has
many and serious obstacles to overcome, but rely
ing upon the power of truth and the cooperation
of the Wing party, on account OF the intrinsic
merits of his enterprise does not fear to be charged
with entertaining too sanguine hopes, if ne antci'
pates satisfactory result.
