A SABBATH AMONG THE SLAVES.

The following letter was addressed TO gen.
tleman in this city, and we insert it with the
fullest confidence in its truthfulness:
PINE GaovE, ND June 10, 1853.
DEAR BROTHER: Understanding that the
colored people are holding meeting today in
an adjacent grove, determined to 20 in the
afternoon, as had never heard them preach.
| went about two o'clock, and found the even
ing services already commenced. The place is
most appropriate for religious worship, being
beautiful grove of venerable oak and pine trees;
and, although the sun was shining in all his
strength, his rays but family penetrated the
dense foliage Of this quiet and shady retreat.
In the centre Of these woods rude stand was
erected for the preachers. One was quito a
venerable colored msn, With bald head and
locks Of gray, who sat with his head reveren-
TALLY inclined, and eyes bent on the ground.
He seemed as father to the younger brethren,
who regarded him with degree Of considers
ton and respect. Those who occupied the scat
with him were Of darker color, bat good. look
ing men. Benches we're placed around the
stand, and were occupied BY goodly number
Of colored people Of both sexes very respecta-
bly, dressed, who listened with intense interest
and oppressed their appreciation by smiles and
frequent responses.

Bile Free-Soil and Abolition paintings have got
ten out in like manner.
"The Free Sellers have acted wisely. DR..
Bailey has not been allowed to labor without
reward, or the hope Of reward. Each indiyid.
ual OF the factionists hasconstituted himself an
agent of the organ, and Iabored to build it up.
and to give it character and influence. The
result is natural. His hands being held I'D by
his followers, the leader has felt himself AMI
mated for the conflict, and has labored harder
than them all. A generous support has Gre.
ated sentiment Of courage in the breast of
the editor. Paying subscribers and plenty of
them, will always, as in this case, give power
TO the editor and success to paper.
aft handful of factionists, scattered through
the length and breadth of the land, can thus
sustain an enterprise of magnitude in opposi-
ton to truth and justice, what ought those 70
do who are in the rights
But unfortunately, experience teaches the
sad lesson that the votaries Of truth are les
jealous, usually, than the lovers of error. The
advocate of falsebcbd win Propagate his creed
by sword and violence, while the servants o.
the true are content to rely upon the innat,
power of their principles. Hence the maxim
that error will travel leagues while truth il

flies swifter than the tainted atmosphere while
truth is lame, and needs the aid of drome
