barism might have been reasonably expected.
But it is not so. Church, theatre, concert
room, literary lectures, social gatherings, all
alike exclude people Of color, and the Anti
Slavery Bazaar is almost the only public
place where this unfortunate class are not
subject to insult or abuse.
The Bazaar also affords opportunity for Alb
olitionists from all parts of the country 10 ex-
change c%ounseis and congratulations. With
out the formality of appointed meetings, it fur
nishes occasion for that mutual concert and
cooperation of effort which is Of the highest
importance to a cause like ours, relying so
little on popular favor, and deprived so gem
orally Of the instrumentalilies that customa-
rily aid a work of philanthropic effort.
1t is these and similar considerations that
render our pecuniary profit but one among
many Of the important benefits that the Ba-
zaar secures. In view Of the great amount
Of toll and responsibility incident to this par
ticular effort, we should call all these circum-
stances to mind that we may be impelled 10
" that patient continuance in well doing"
which frail humanity finds in general so diff
fcult. Looking back TO the commencement
of the Anti-Slavery enterprise is it too much
to say that ii all who had ever named its
name were now laboring for its success

works The hour of the final extinction of
American Slavery would be even at the doorl
Recall the names of all who were ever the
avowed advocates of the slave I'VE speak
not now Of those
- Hallowed and guarded from all chains by
death"
Their works do follow them but recall the
names of those who have excused themselves
from this service and gone 10 their farms and
their merchandise, and say if that eloquence,
and labor, and fidelity, and selfdevotion that
once wrought such miracles had been contin-
ued TO the present time, what had now been
the slaves couditionl Who can say it might
not have been that Of the Freeman!
We do not assume to Judge in cases of n
dividual duty. Those who were once so yea
Ious in his behalf, so earnest in stirring up
the minds of others, and now, as far as all
active labors GO, so unconcerned and indifer-
ent, are responsible, not to us, but 10 their
own consciences. The slaves condition is
the same as when they first felt it SO deeply
they can best Judge why their action has
ceased.
But we do know the general truth, corrob-
Grated by the voice of inspiration and the tes-
iimony of mankind, that Fidelity, Firmness,
Perseverance, are essential requisites TO the
success of any cause, to the perfection Of any
character.

a motion to amend, by striking out the pre-
amble, would be in order!
Then Mr.. Smith modified his amendment
so as to direct the committee not 10 inquire
wheiher, but 10 report a bill, &c. Somebody
else suggests another amendment, and some
one else another, but Mr.. Smith asks the
p~revious question on his amendment. The
House will not sustain it, so that it is evident
wisdom has not been justified this time by
her children. The wise, patriotic managers
have now got things pretty well confused
In the heat of the battle, the commanding
officer has changed front. The enemy sees
tina, all unity Of plan has been broken up
He moves an adjournment, but the 1" wise
and patriotic men are not yet badly fogged
enough to run-so they vote down this mo-
ton. Next Mr.. Bolts, seeing the beautiful
predicament of the Northern friends who
had been so anxious TO concede something
10 fraternity, now moves TO lay the whole
subject on the table but this would not APP
near well in the eyes Of constituencies
would never do to assume the awful respon-
sibilily of thus despaichiDg so popular a
measure outright. So this motion was voted
.down-ll0 to 81.
What next to dol All, there was the rub.
lOur wise" and ''patriotic'.' men were at
their wis end. The Southern men saw their
advantage, and began to propose their amend
ments.
Mr., Meade moved to amend by instruct
inr the committee 10 report a bill reinforcing
the legislation of Congress respecting the
delivery of fugitive slaves. This motion
was ruled out Of order. BY this time the
beautiful management Of the wise and pa
triotic men had resulted in what may be cal
led a .. scatteration " Of the valor and wits
of the hosts of freedom, and once more a
motion to adjourn was made-carrted By an
overwhelming majority.
Now, to understand the effect of this vote
on the resolution, we must reler to the pro-
ceedings next morning. The Journal hav-
ing been read, the Speaker announced the
first business, a resolution reported from the
Committee on Printing.
Mr.. Wentworth rose to a point Of order,
and asked the Speaker what had become Of

The Speaker replied, that it was on the file

Mr.. Wentworth. And we shall never

The Speaker. Yes, when the House pro-
coed with the regular order Of business, and

lie over.

our Observation-Disclosures ignorant,

tives TO honorable e%xerlions, scarcely
reached in their debdSement By the heaU-

deep-rooted and unchristian prejudice a.

ing evidences Of the wickedncss of the
white population, and all of whom had
been the victims of the most cruel OPP
preston. One proof of This prejudice, or
rather hatred, we shall give from the
Fifteenth Report ofthe Society. 1t says:
THE managers consider it clear that
causes exist and are now operating to
prevent their improvement and elevation

this country, which are fixed not only be-

We have no means of uscertaining the

they will not want friends in this coun-

But, without expressing want of conf

From the BRITISH Anti Slavery Reporter.

We perceive that the British Govern.
ment have recognized the independence
of Liberia. This small republic is COM
posed Of liberated American slaves and
free people Of color, who were sent thith.
er by the American Colonization Society.
To these has been added a numerous DO.
dy of natives, the total population being
estimated at $4,000. This Society was
founded in 1916, and whatever might
have been the motives of those with
whom it originated, it has been used by
shareholders for the most hateful purpo.
ses, and has proved a formidable hinder.
ance 10 the cause of abolition in the o.
nited States. 1t is based on on The sup.
position that black and colored men
ought not TO be admitted to the United
States, that their proper home is Africa
and that it is patriotic in American citi-
zens to send them there. 1t adopts, how.
ever, the language of philanthropy and
religion in the prosecution of It's objects,
and, by that means, manages 10 impose
on many g%ood'naIured people.
The estimation in which the benefcia.
RES oil Inc society are held, may be gath
cred from the manner in which they are
described by some Of its oldest and most
distinguished supporters. One Of these
says: "Free blacks are a greater nuisance
than ever slaves themselves" Another
describes them as "a horde Of miserable
people--the objects of univeral Suspicion
Another declares them to be "Ofall elias.
ses of our population, the most ricious-
contaminated themselves, they extend

who hang as a uile ercreScence upon so
