Criticism Necessary 10 Reform.

The English were the first great nation in
which the principle of II practical criticism
was admitted as the political basis. There
was u nearer approach TO this in tie polity
of Greece aud Rome, than in any other mod
ern State and, perhaps, the only reason why
this principle in those nations did not devel-
ope the modern fact of national regeneration
may be found in the existence of Slavery
among them. So long as person can exist
in the state without rights, so long the true
and only foundation for political criticism is
wanting unless the principle is admitted
that every man is free, no good reason can
be given why any man should be free. The
reason why the detrimental influence of
Slavery was so long inert in the ancient ma
tolls, was, that the condition of Slavery had
never been criticised. No error becomes i'm
mediateiy demOrd,ising until Il is The subject Of
criticism. hundred years ago, man might
get daily drunk, aud still retain his self.
respect. Now drunkenness is ruin. So in
the ancient States, Slavery might exist, and
its fatal effects appear only after the lapse OF
centuries, and then bc ascrbed to other
| causes Our Southern Stntes are an obvi-
Gus example. Freedom of the Press does
not exist, criticism does not exist, political
or literary. Surely that is n strong iuitlt
which believes this state of things can bG
lasting. We have seen freedom of though
exist in Germany with censorship OF ia,
Press; hut freedom of thought can surel,
not exist where the whole energies of the
mind are excr,ed in defence of hlsehood
Suppose the energies of the Greek mind tc
have been turned by circumstances TO the
defence of their system of scryitude, whai
would the world have known of them after
history?
The philosophy of this state of things is
this :-as long as on institution is not crili-
ciscd, we view il as n fixed fact. Ii has,
therefore, no prominent Place in our thoughts
among other questions. When criticism OF
il begins, every man is called on TO make up
his mind in relation to it. Supposing then
the institution to be either false in ITSELF or
worn out and become false, we arc reduced
TO the necessity of either removing it, or OF
loving II lie for the sake of our interests; n
state of which u man is always more or less
clearly conscious and which soon proves de-
moralising and iutal.--.Eiiheiic PaperS-S

Fngiiives.-.Nr. Clay.
From the Pennsylvania Freeman.

From the Pennsylvania freeman.
Mr.. Clay notices the fact that the difficult
ties in recovering fugitive slaves have great
ly increased during the last few years, on
account of the growing anti-slavery senti-
mcnt in the North. This fact, which every
true lover of justice and OF man would re-
ioice in, he lameuts over, and censllres those
who have caused IT, In it lie might learn
how treacherous is the foundation OF his
hopes for the worlds sympathy in behalf of
the slavery party, in this conflict. lie eN-
poets the nations of the earth TO respect the
constitution, and give their hest wishes TO
those who adhere TO il. Why, even in his
own country, they who have been taught TO
reverence Il as sacred thing, as the Palla-
dunn of their liberties, TO whose hearts IT
was bound by thousand dear associations,
impclled by higher love of Right, and deep
er reverence for God, are crying out,
"Oh! fling it to the wind,
That parchment wall that bars Us from the
least of human kind J"
And will the good and true of other nations,
who have 10 such ties of affinity TO IT, re-
spect il more? Mr. Clay says truly that it
| is becoming more aud more difficult TO re-
capture the fugitive slave, when he has
found refuge among the free hearts and
homes of tie North. The love OF freedom
and bonds of human fraternity, arc, i'll their
nature, stronger than Constitutions. Let
Henry Clay listen, and he will hear from
New England, from New York, from
Pennsylvania, and from Ohio and her sister
States, the voice OF tie free North, respond
ing 10 his constitutional demand;
ave owe allegiance to the State, but deeper,
| trucr, more,
To the sympathics that God hath set within our
spirits core -
Our country claims our leOltyi we grant it So
| but then,
Before Man made US ci,izens, great Nature
made us men.
He's true to God, who's true to man whcrov-
or wrong is done,
To the humblcst and the weakest meath tho
all-bcholding sun,
That wrong is also done to usi and they orC

Whose love Of light is for themselves, and not
for all their race

The Fosters.

Stephen s. and Abby X. Foster have been
laboring for some time past in the valley OF
the Hudson--a field hitherto greatly neglect
ed, but which under the operation OF their
Sub-Soil Plow, promises an abundant har-
vest. In letter TO the Standard, ftom Iiud-
son, Abby suys that, when they entered upon
their labors in that region, dit seemed almost
like going within the arctic circle 10 SOW
wheat" Nevertheless they found much TO
encourage them. In the first place they
visited (lfellenpile) they held six meetings in
the Methodist church, which proved quite
too small before the close. Here they obtain
ed sixteen subscribers for the Standard, and
scattered many books. At Leeds, on the
west side of the river, they had five meetings,
were bitterly opposed, but obtained eight
subscribers. AT Pdlenpille, 'under the deep
furrowed, ffowning brow Of the Catskills,'
they held four meetings. A rumscllng Ed
replied, that if he were right they were in
tbeprnctice of baptiziug cattle into the name
of the Father and of sitting at the coinmu-
Mon table with cattle. At this place, too
the Bible was quoted in defence of Slavery
When they announced their meeting closed,
the Dutch Reformed Clergyman, who had
attended throughout, but had kept silence
since the first meeting, gave notice that he
would hold a meeting there the next Thurs
day evening to show that the Church OF
Christ had been misreprescntcd and SIAN
dered. MIR. Foster, rising said, if the Church
had been misrepresented no one was so
deeply interested to know it rs himself, as il
was not his intention TO misrepresent any
one; therefore he should endeavor TO be
present to listen TO the discourse. This val
liant defender of the faith probably did moi
think it discreet 10 reply to the advocates OF
the slave until he supposed they could not
be present TO answer. How courageous!
At Hudson they were much annoyed by
rowdies. The Friends (Hcksite) meeting
house was open TO them, however, and many
seemed anxious TO hear.
1t is pleasant to receive such favorable nc
counts from agents so much beloved and sc
faithful to the cause.
