full. Wrong that is sanctioned by time, and
law, and the tacit submission of good men, is
often looked upon as right; and i may even
sometimes cease to be criminal though it can
never cease to be wrong. | regard that only
as crime, which carries with it the conscious
ness of guilt; but without that consciousness
and therefore without positive crime, we may
often do our brother grievous wrong, even when
we think We are doing God service.
We who live far from the direct influences Of
Slavery can see the evils that are inseparably
connected with the institution, more clearly
than those who are educated TO look upon
them as a matter of course, or even as parts of
the Providence of God for which they are in no
way accountable. Our perception of those evils
would make it crime in us to do anything to
uphold the institution ; but we have no right to
charge the stakeholder with crime, unless we
are sure that he has like perception. We
may, however, fairly accuse him Of upholding
wrong and show him the extent of the wrong
that he is hourly committing We may do our
best to arouse his sleeping conscience, so that
slaveholding may become as really crime in
him as it would be in ourselves and he may
feel obliged to form plans for.sts overthrow /;
and, for so doing, no man can rightly blame
us, however much we may be liable to censure
for the neglect of other and perhaps more i'm
pOrtant duties.

anywhere on earth-the advantage, if any,
lying with the mother nation to which we
must accord also singular advantages for pro-
ducing an energetic and enterprising race,
possessing, as it does, magnificent climate,
and physical character of country adapted
for a military and naval people.
Ii may be presumed that these races have
about an equal chance of success in any enter
prise or feeling that may become popular
And yet how unequal the distribution of ia
vors! And how severely are the unfortunate
prejudged and condemned by us
Switzerland is comparatively free, yet Po-
land is enslaved. England has an appearance
of freedom among her middle class; and yet
Germany, with all her aspirations, and after
centuries of struggles is enslayed. France has
made a great advance, and founded laws and
institutions more democratic than any In Eu-
rope; yet Italy, the land of republics, the giant
struggler against the effort of feudal Europe
and barbarsm for a thousand years, is at
length enslaved. Where and how are these
destinies TO be accounted for
When Switzerland gained her freedom, she
was Catholic. The ancient Grecian and ltal-
ian States loved liberty, and yet were Pagan.
Each and all of these had learned half the
truth, in escaping from the despotisms of Asia
Man was, as ever, struggling for his lberty-the
liberty to live, the liberty 60 work, the liberty
to act for and govern himself The more per-
feet the moral government Of the individual
the stronger the chances for liberty; and
whichever system, Catholic, Protestant Ma
hometan, or Pagan, moralizes him, and leaves
him free to act and think, gives him the great
est chance of independence. But when grown
men submit their minds to other men, as when
they were children, under infdel pretexts of
| superstition, they must expect to make little
way, and to lose their mental and moral ener-
gies.
Now, Switzerland felt the hand of tyranny,
and rebelled SO it was with Poland so with
England, France, and Germany But few
thousand men in Switzerland's mountain fast.
nesses could do the work of hundred thou
sand ON the plains of Poland, or in other
open countries. And thus she succeeded in
gaining and retaining that liberty which Others
rs continually lost again. We know how otter
Germany has been deceived in her expecta
tons. She was sold in 1915, and in lS4S how
egregiously frightened and hoodwinked int
the very despotsm she hated
We know how calamity England won bel
freedom under Cromwell, and how easily sh,
resigned it TO Charles H. She was sick of civi
war-like Germany, like France, now-a-dsys-
and yielded herself blindfold to the silly prom.
ises of her tyrants, and implicitly gave credit
to all their calumnes.
Twas then, as it is now, question of the
pocket aud of the stomach. Can one afford
to lose so much profit" or wages Can one
afford to lose so many dinners

of responsibility to others The natural system
directs the choice Of reading TO books on sub
stantlal science; the mere book system, de-
stroying taste for the beauties and wonders
oil nature, leads TO the reading of trashy fiction,
to satisfy and promote an unnatural, sickly
Imagination.
The moral system tends to lift up the noblest
energies OF the soul 10 heaven the selfish sys-
tenn tends 10 crush those energies to the earth.
The one, carried out, would change school
houses and dwellings into crystal palaces -
the other makes demands for houses of refuge
faster than they can be supplied. The path of
the one is delightful, constantly placing before
the traveller a splendid mansion, stored with
nexhausuble riches; the path of the other is
rugged, thony, and dreary, presenting only
darkness and gloom, without change, except
by becoming more dark aud gloomy The one
tends to secure the purposes OF human exist
ence the other, to defeat those purposes.

For the National Era.
WHO is THE BRAVEi
BY LUCY LARCoM

Who is the bravel
He who would ever the war.banner wave?
Who laughs at the sight of the red battle-ground,
Where carnage rides rampant, and death-groans re
sound
Who presses, through blood to the charge with tbs
foe,
Nor falters till crushed by the last mortal blow,
Then triumphng, sinks to & laurel-wreathod grave
Him call ye brave,
Brave he may be-:
Yet with the brutes there brave ones as he.
Brave is the lion, when reused from his lair;
Shielding her cubs, bravely struggles the bear;
Brave is the dog when he fights for a bone,
Nor yields up his right till the contest is won.
Rivals like these must the warrior have.
Are they not braye2
Brave is he
Whose strife is for duty, whatever it be-
Who, having determined his glorious aim,
Fulfls it, through poverty, scorning and shame
Who fearlessy grapples with and wrong,
When equity sleeps, and the wicked are strong.
Low may his roof be, unnoticed his grave.
Yet he is brave.
He too is brave
Who conquers his passions when madly they rave
Who scorns in the silken enthrallment to stay,
That pleasure and sloth on his spirit would lay;
Who tramples his pride in the dust, and walks on
In the pathway that leads where Saviour has gone
His plaudit shall sound DER eternity's wave;
Heaven calls him brave.

EXTRACTS FROM OUR CORRESPONDENCE.


Spring Creek, Cdss co., Ia, FEB. 20, 1853
The Free Soil measure is gaining ground rap
idly. All the people want in this section Of
country, is light and truth on the question of
Slavery-the only question that is now agita-
ting the country Many of the Wings have
voted the Wing ticket for the last time, and
very many of the old line Democrats have
voted that ticket for the last time; and instead
of Cass county giving fitty-two for Hale and
Julian, as it has DONE it will give five hundred
and fifty ut the next election.
Vermont, H. Feb %, l853.-lllinois has
had the curse Of Slavery inflicted on it by its
enlightened and Christian Legislature, at the
recent session. call it slavery, for have no
other name for involuntary services, apart
from crime Yes, it has cursed us with slavery,
Notwithstanding many of us left our native
States and sought the prairies of Illinois as a
refuge from its whitening influences. think
| am well enough acquainted with the feelings
of our people to venture the assertion that
every wel-behaved negro who is sold out to
pay his fine for coming into our State, will
make more than one thousand votes in future
for liberty The Fugitive Slave Law has made
more supporters to the cause of freedom than
any other one thing that has ever been done !;
and believe the Black Law Of our State will
make as many here as the Fugitive Law did.
These laws have only to be read and under
stood by the masses of the people, to be alb
horred by them.
