wo may never need that title agaiu; and
wherever we find the untoruished name of
SEwALL, VIC need have no apprehension.
NeS, there is Anti-Savery sentiment sufIi-
cient to put many persons on their good be-
havlor-suificient to bring Orville Dewey to
ms Knees, aud make him attempt to lie him
self out of a late delicate embarrassment
tgrcat opplausel That, to bo sure, is the
only way for a true-bearted American 10
apologize! Some men blame us for the per-
sonaliiy of Our attncks-ior the bad tnste OF
actually naming sinner on such platform
as this. Never doubt It's benefits again.-
Did not the Rev. Dr. go to and go IN the
earth, aud walk up and down in it, Offering
to return his own mother into Slavery for
our dear Unionj aud was he not rewarded
Dy our National Government 10y Chaplain
cy III tho Navy-as most men thought TO Sc.
cure him trip 10 the Mediterranean TO re.
pose his weary virtue? Where could pub
lie rumor more appropriately send him than
to TINT very spot on the Naples coast, where
his great and only exempar, Nero, devoted
his mother TO kinder fate than this Chris
tan imitaior designed for "a venerable rela.
tive! Could he have passed his life at Bauli
the genius of the place would have protected
her 50 deserving sou, and all had been well
But here a certain 'rub.a.dub agitation had
done so much mischief that even the Uni
tnrian denomination could not uphold its
eminent leader till nc had explained that hC
did not mean his venerable relative,' he only
meant his son How clear the lesson tO
that son not to treat others as they treat him
since then he might be led to do what
even his father deems inhiman, namely, re.
turn his venerable relative into Slavery to
save Union! Does DIR. Dewey indeed
think il 'eXtrnvngnnt and ridiculous to con.
sent to return ones mother to Slavery p
On what principle, then, 1t has been well
asked, does he demand that every colored
son submit patiently TO have it done? Docs
his Bible read thnt God did not make of one
blood all nations?
Yes, we have Anli-Slavery feeling and
character enough to humble Dewey; we
want more--we waat enough to save a Sims
10 give n sHio shelter TO Ellen Crafts.-
Hide the oulcast; bcwray not him who wan
dcreih,' is the simplest lesson of common
humanity. The Commonwealth, which,
planted by exiles, proclaimed by statute in
IS4l, her welcome to 'any stranger who
might fly TO her from the tyranny or oppres-
sion of her persccutors'--the State which
now seeks PEACE IN LIBERTY should not
content herself with this; her rcbuke OF the
tyrant, her voice of welcome to the Oppress-
cd, should be uttered so loud az TO be heard
tho South. Il should not be ne
cessary to hide the ou,cast. Ii ought not to
be counted merit now that one does not
liit hnnd against him. Oh, no. fidelity 10
ancient fnnc, To present honour, to duly, to
God, demands ,hat tho fugitive from tile op-
pressions OF other lnuds should be able to go
mp and down our highway, in peace-tel
his true nhine--ncet his old oppressor face
to face, aud ic.l that whole Commonwealth
stands between him ard all chance of harm.
God savo tho Commonwealth of Mnssa-
How coldly, often, does the old
prayer fall from careless lips How sure to
reach the ear of Him who heareih the sigh
ing Of the prisoner, when it shall rise, in
ecstacy Of gratitude, from the slave hut of
the CurOiiDas, or from the bursting heart of
iho fugitive, who, after deadly peril, rests at
last beneath the shudow Of her protection
