Free Produce.

The following extract is offered with a
view to awaken thought ON a subject which
has not as yet received the attention il merits.
Abstinence from the fruits of slavery, is, in
my view, the duty of all Abolitionists, and
an important agent in the work of enamel
patton; since to me it is clear that he who
buys stolen goods encourages the thief, and
that when the demand ceases, the supply
will stop also. The article was written with
reference to the slave trade, but will apply
equally well to slavery. ii.
"The slave trade owes its vitality to sla-
very, and slavery derives its nourishment
from the market for the produce of its labor.
Ii we could effectually cut off the demand
for the products of such labor, no naval force
would be required to eXtinguish the traffic in
the bones and sinews of men. Complicated
as the commerce in the productions of slave
labor now is, aud varied as are the interests
involved in il, we cannot reasonably expect
any sudden change in our commercial rela-
tons. Yet here is evidently the vulnerable
point; and a point, too, OH which individuals,
as we'll as communities, can exercise an in
~fiuence. Every one who withdraws his sup
port from the market, which is replenished
by the labor of slaves, diminishes, to a linn
tied extent, the demand OIL which the system
depends. If individual influence, on this
complicated system, is necessarily small, it is
not to be forgotten that the pillar on which
the fabric rests, is composed of individual
influence. We may also reflect that the eX-
ample of each individual operates mi sphere
of less or greater extent upon the conduct OF
others. Aud the higher the character, the
greater will be the influence of the example.
Whatever remedy may be devised for sla-
very or the slave trade, it is not to be eXpcc-
ted that a system which has grown with the
growth of our nation, and extended its roots
into all our commercial relations, can be eX-
terminated without labor and sacrifice. The
Saviour, Oh a certain occasion, informed his
disciples that the demon whom they had
vainly attempted to exercise, was of a kline
tina went not out but by prayer and fasting
and in the case before us, the fasting may
probably be an essential condition."

A "Reminiscences.

EDMUND QUINcY, in one of his racy letters
to the Standard, giving an account of n re-
cent visit to Worcester, the heart of the
Old Commonwealth" thus refers, in his pc
cuiiarly happy style, to a former period in
the history of the Anti Slavery cause:
j could not help thinking while there of
my first Anti Slavery visit TO Worcester some
dozen years ago. 1t was u County Conven-
ton, and | can tell you we thought no small
beer of it then. We were what would be
called n strong team. There was Birncy the
Just, who has since narrowly escaped the pc
rilous eminence of the White House. There
was poor Phelps, writing under the first APP
plicatiOn of the ecclesiastical torture under
which he at last succumbed, receiving that
reward of neglect and contempt which In
g~uisitors always bestow upon recanting here
tics. There was Stanton who has at last
gone to his own place. mean, of course,
nothing worse than Old Hunkerdom, into
which beatific state, as | understand, he en-
tered rejoicing, like Hopeful, when the Free
Soil Party went down into Jordan at Utica.
There was St. Clair, whom New Organiza-
ton itself proved out of its mouth as more
than even its Ostrich gullet could swallow.
There was lchabod Codding, whose name
would have been well bestowed if he had
ever had any glory to depart from him.
And, / believe, there was tie great Leavitt
himself, the nOblest Roman Tor Creek of
them all, who knew more than his whole
tribe put together, and whose impudence,
soaring into the Sublime, challenged the add
miratiOn of those who could not give him
their esteem. And as to ministers, why,

pulpit. And of all that goodly company L
believe none survive excepting Samuel May,
Wendell Phillips, and your humble servant!
And we were but Anti-Slavcry stockings
then. / apprehcnd that the Anti-Slavery
cause is none the worse for being disencum-
bered of those helpers, they being what they
were. But where might it not have been
had they, and the great body they belonged
TO, been but true? 1t is hardly too much to
affirm that it would have accomplished its
work. What have not these men to answer
for?

From the Pennsylvania Freeman.
Slavchslding Humanity. "Turning Loose

An instance of slaveholding humanity and
honor has recently come to our knowledge,
which is so characteristic of the slave sys-
tenn and the slaveholding spirit, that we will
naITate it.
A colored woman named Sarah Cromwell,
nearly ninety years old, arrived in this city a
few weeks since in the Baltimore cars, under
the following circumstances. She was rails
ed and had always lived as a slave in Balti-
more, and for many years had been owned
by a master whom she had nursed in infan-
cy, and tended through sickness and health,
until driven, by his own hand, from his home.
A few months since she met with an acct
dent which disabled her somewhat for ac-
tive labor, and deprecated her value as a
piece of property. Finding she was likely to
become an expense to him, her master sent
her to Wilson's slave prison for sale, order
ing the trader to get rid of her TO any body,
and at any price; but no purchaser could be
found to take her.
While she was there, two intelligent gem
tlemen from Chester county visited the pri-
son.
"Gentlemen," said the slave-trader, after Il
lew moments conversation upon his busi-
ness, 4" here's a chance for your philanthro-
py." Then stating the facts in this case, and
adding that the old woman was unsaleable
and worthless, and a disgrace to his estab-
lishment, he proposed that if they would
take her TO Pennsylvania, they might, and he
would pay her fare.
"Old woman!" said he, in the true slave
drivers tone, "Come out here!" She came
out, withered and lettering with age, an OBJ
ject to move the reverential pity of every
feeling heart. lie repeated his proposal 10
her, and asked her if she would go to Penn
sylvania.
"No!" was her indignant reply, and her
eye flashed fire as she spoke, al told master
that he had worn all the flesh off my bones,
and he should not throw the worthless bones
upon any other hands. | was worn out in
nursing and taking care of him, and he shall
not turn me off to die with strangers"
But, poor woman! she was a slave, and
her will was powerless. A few days later
the heartless soul-trader, by order of the
more mhuman master, took Sarah CrumwelI
to the cars, paid her fare to Philadelphia
gave bonds to- the railroad company to save
them from liability, put two dollars and fifty
cents into her hand, and sent her to PhiIadei
pima; threatening vengeance upon her if she
ever returned, and telling her that the "damn,
ed Quakers would take care of her." Thus
infirm and decrepid, she was turned on
homeless, friendless, and almost ~pennyles,
into a strange city. Here she ~f6rtunateI,
found that the world was not all peopled by
demons or monsters. Generous hearts anS
kind hands, rich in ~benevolence, though poo
in the worlds wealth, gave her a home wher,
she now is. These facts are fully confirmed
by other testimony than her own, from mos
reliable witnesses. We have no words /,
speak the loathing and shame which such
deed, perpetrated by a human being, excite
within us. Such is American slavery Sucl
the spirit and feeling which it breeds!

proper instruction and care, become such
eminent " model Christians as to merit the
special commentator of the pastor of the
First .3ngto-sGron Baptist church of this city,
Moreover, these African "model Christians"
seem to have something of worldly thrift and
economy, for our witness ~testifies that they
have paid $4,000 in four years, supported
their pastor respectfully, are out of debt, and
have a missionary fund.
We shrewdly suspect that some of the An
g%lO-saxon "model churches" of this city can
not exhibit as satisfactory a statement of
their affairs as is here presented by q gentle
man well qualified to Judge of such matters,
and who is doubtless authorized to speak
"by authority"
The prosperous state of this % model Afri-
can church" will appear the more remarka-
bic when we remember that the slaves can
acquire nothing except by consent of their
owners, and that the free negroes are inten-
tionally and Systematically excluded from
nearly all of the more profitable employ
ments. And here we may remark, in pass
ing, that the facts stated in Mr.. Sears letter,
completely overset the favorite argument of
our pro-slavery advocates, to wit: "That the
antl-slayery agitation in the free States has
made the condition of the negro much worse
in the slave States" This model church .
OF slaves and free negroes, with its good or
der and %solemnity, ats elegantly dressed
members" " its energy, its piety, and its eX-
celleDt organization" combined as these are
with w%ell-marked worldly thrift, has grown
up and prospered in a period when the anti
slavery question has been more thoroughly
agitated through the entire Union, than ever
before since the formation of our confedera-
cy. we would thank our pro-slavery Chris
tan friends to account for this strange phe-
nOmenon.
We intended in this article to notice at
length that portion of the gentleman's letter
in which he compares this African model
church, organized in a slave State, with the
churches of the same character in the free
States, to the evident disadvantage of the lat
ter, II to point out some of the consequent
ccs which necessarily flow from his premi-
ses, if they are admitted to be true-but must
defer this for the present.
We cannot, however, conclude, without
p~ropounding to our pro-slavery Christian
friends, a question which appears to us a
pertinent one, in view of the matter now UNI
der consideration. 1t is this: What are the
peculiar Christian graces which properly
distinguish a "modcl African Christian
church" from a model Anglo-Saxon Chris
tian church, and wherein do the duties which
the members of these churches owe eacl

they will, many of them, do so. And not
without a show of consistency for they can

that is nothing. We have no doubt that the

as 1t chooses to occupy a position from which
IT must needs fire as many rounds upon their

The truth is there can be no Anti-Slavery
political party of any efficiency that shall moi
be at once unconstitutional and sectional
These are necessary elements of such a par
ty, and as soon as men are willing to be
openly as INSCRIPTIONS as they must be sc.
crctly, perhaps umconsciouslv, if they attempt
to attack Slavery through the sides of the
Constitution, they will begin to do something
effectual. There can be no attack upon Sla-
very, under the Constitution in strict good
faith. The Shareholders are right when they
demonstrate against any such. They who
consent to enjoy the benefits of the Consti-
tuition, or what they esteem such, ought TO
do the work for which they are receiving the
consideration. If they do not like it and do
not mean to do it then there are two sensible
and open modes of procedure. One is TO re-
fuse to use the political privileges as long as
they are hampered with these terms and to
do ones best TO break up and renew the
whole concern. The other is TO declare
openly, as the basis of political action that
the party adopting it will he bound bv none
of the restrictions of the Constitution which
arc intended TO keen its hands off of Slavery.

Hatred of the South toward Haiti.
From the Richmond 6va.l Wing.


The black rascal, who has lately been declared
Emperor of Haiti, proposes to himself a magnif-
iccnt role. He meditatcs the subjugation not
only of the Spanish half ofthc Iaafff, Due OF an
the West Indies. "Bchold his ambition (says
a letter. He means, in his sphere, to prove
himself another Napoleon" But dreams of
conquest do not permit him to neglect the de-
tails of luxury and magnifccncc. He means
that his Court shall cut a shinc-and has for
warded to London $4,000 to buy a diadcm. The
salary of his Imperial Majesty was fixed by his
faithful Senate at $3.50, 900 but the Conscript
fathers increased it $4,000, on the score of pin
money for the Empress.
His sable Majesty recently sent an Ambassa-
dor to Franco. The woolly-hcadod fellow was
received by NJ. dc Tocqucvillc with the remark,
"Yom Government docs not know how to oh
serve the faith of treaties" This reception be-
ing communicated home, all the chivalry of Cuf-
fcc-dom was cnragcd, and an immediate dcclara-
ton of war was proposed. But His Black High
ness, more prudent than his impctuous COUNSEL
lors, contcnted himself with protesting against
the want of courtesy exhibited towards the Rep
roscntativc of the Empire of Haiti.
The dcthroning of this black rascal will be u
pleasant afternoon amusement for our Round
Island Adventures some Of these summer days.

In this letter are statement which may
furnish abundant matter for n running com
mentary. This first African church may
be properly regarded as a model cOIored
church," and as there cannot be a "model
church" without "model Christians" we are
naturally led to ask, of what description of
persons is this "mOdel church" composed ?
The answer is, partly of free negroes and
partly of slaves so that it seems that those
t" lazy, worthless, pillering free niggers," of
which we have heard so much in the late
discussions on Emancipation, may, under
