CORRESPONDENCE OF THE IND F. DEM.

Mr.. EDITOR Pro bono pUJljco, God and my
country, impcl me to action. Seeing that dust is
the alma mater of man, all sprngng from the same
source and placed upon tho same grand platform, a
monitor within cries out Gire all men erery whcre,
equal rights.
But how is this abused IT, reins are held fast
by men of sinister motives; those, too who should
be beacon lights in the onward march Of Freedom
Freedom has ever beSn opposed since the world
began; and because the ancients succeeded meas.
uraby in chaining it fast the moderns think they
must increase their glory by doing the same but
Liberty's God still lives Although men may chain
mercy fast, yet oppression's bands shall be torn
assunder, and thrown to the winds. May God speed
that long-prayed-for, happy day, when Freedoms
Sun shall rise, and like a steadfast planet, mount
and reign trumphanty DER this slavery sin-cursed
nation.
What age is this? Is it not the age Of Gospel

the bounds of sacred walls-1t is, IL is.
If so, why then not initiate Slavery's sons intq
it's privileges? why not grant them Gospel liberty
They need not the Gospel" cry men of this Chris
uan day, If such an answer had come from fend
in hell, we would have thought il in accordance
with his nature and position; but mon living in the
midst Of Christian influence and Bible privileges,
to decide thus, undoubtedly proves them non con-
pos mentis.

the Eden Of Slatery yet aperfect hospital Of misery
where man is classed with brutes and made slave
called slave, without soul, because black ill
clad, i'll fed without Gospel and the Bible TO waste
and die as ours, unnoticed without one pitying eye
and If you do not conclude that Slavery is wrong,
we'll think you are lost to all humanity. God save
our State from such a curse
IL is our opinion, Mr. Editor that f all Christians
would devohy pray for the aunihilation of Slavery
in our Union, it might be accomplished But alas!
how different. We have heard ministers in the
public congregation pray for "0od to enliglten the
North, and teach them the error Of their ways
instoad Of praying for their own slovery-cursed
States. Slavery is not in accordance with the
teachings Of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for It is
"glad tidings of great joy and all who comes M
to its requirements live in peace and joy. What
is Slavery is il joy and peace or misery and woe
DO its subjects partake of this joy or Of sorrow
and degradation? Let the advocates of Slavery
answer The curse of the Almighty has rested
upon Slavery ever since its birth.
Pharaoh, that old STAKEHOLDER Of Egypt wa
cursed with frogs lice md such like, and at lasi
himself and host were swallowed up in the deep.
while those poor Isracltes, scourgcd and treated
worse than old Pluraoh's kitchen eur, were at last
delivered most gloriously. Heaven have mercy
upon the Pharaoi,s OF our day,
The South is continually filling our ears with
the cry, Slavery exists among US, and we can't
get rid Of it, Cannot the South rid herself Of
that rigid cruelty exercised over her slaves? Can
she not lcgislato laws to prevent wife and husband
from being toru from each others kind embrace?
Docs the South suppose that negro fathers and
mothers have no feelings? that they have no regard
for their offspring? Does the South suppose that,
bccoose they are Jtdck God gave them no soul that
the Gospel does not regard them as fit subjects to
attain eternal life? Dare the South say that negroes
by nature arc not as good we nrc ?-that they
should not have equal rights with ourselves? We
trow not we hope better things. We do not be.

viii answer in this case, or we might apply it; but
our glorious motto, ''E pi,OijHs uiuB." will stand

JAMES JONES, J.P. Seal

This letter in the Observer is important at the
present time by calling attention to this parcu-
llr subject Its bold alirmations in behalf OF
Shareholders, and its strong donunciations Of Mrs.
Stowe, have led us to look to these questions as
sustained by public opinion in slaveholding com.
munities and ombodiodin their laws.
The laws Of any community particularly those
off general nature, the manifestation or expires
sion of the moral sense Of that community-they
are the embodiment Of the feelings of the law-ma-
kers on thoir specific subjecs--they are tho visi-
bic exhibition of the heart of society and thus it is
"--that the moral and progressive condition of any
community can be seen in its laws, and more espe-
ciay in those laws that relate to its industrial re-
lations and interests. Hence in all those countries
and States where labor is honorable, and industry
is sustained by public sentment---where the indi-
viduOs who perform these important services are
educated and arc in the possession Of their own
manhood--all these countries and States have made
and are making progress in the abilities ofa high
and paramount civilization. The evidence thereof
a.enot visible only in the condition ofhe laborer but
also in the nature and humanity and excellency OF
their laws. On the contrary, those countries and
States who are so far in the Of civilization as
to frame laws forbidding the education Of the mas
SOS who perform their daily labor, and who declare
the best condition Of the laborer is that of chatle
ship, can of necessity make no truo and enduring
progress Their laws must indicate their internal
State, aud hence we are not, by any meana sur
prisod to see rewards offered for killing an esea
ping ohatle sanctioned.

from st Louis Of Slavery unl its influence upon

Agricultural improvement has not as yet made

more inviting character of the fertile praries Of IL
iHlois hhd othef western STATES, ana me lhhuence
of Siaray in deterring emigrants from lie fac

latter objection is the more common one urged a.

wonder that the intelligent citizens of Missouri so
few Of whom are slave owners, have not before
this time taken measures to rid their fair State cf

RIVAL TO TEA-THE LEAVES OF The
COFFEE PLANT.-'The Singapore Free Presx
recommends the use of the coffee leaf as n sub.
stitute tor the berry. The writer appears to be-
an English planter of the Ducth settlement of
Padang, in Sumatra, where the coffee plant has
been cultivated for several generations and where
1t Is now produced in larger quantity and Z
better quality than in any country of the Mala-
yam Islands, Java excepted. The coffee plant is
an evergreen large shrub, which yields pro-
fusion OF leaves, and bears fruit for about tWen-
ty years. The leaf, and even the twigs, have.
Il; minor degree, the same stimulating and ex-
hilratingI property as the berry, and its habituai
use by the natives of the country, agricultural
Malays of very simple habits. and little amen
dable to innovation. shows that they at least find
tile coffee leaf to make wholesome and apreea-
BILE beverage. The introduction of this article
into our consumption would. we cannot help
thinking be a benefit to the poor, and to our COL
onlal planters. In order to render coffee leaves
marketable for European consumption, the best
mode OF preparation will consist in subectiug
them to the same kind of manipulation as tea
undergoes, and for this purpose it would proba-
oily be expedent. at first. to employ, for instruc-
ton, such me as Mr.. Fortune lately brought
from the northern provinces of China to Upper
India. The leaves of coffee, neither Aesby nor
succulent, are even more easily dried than those
OF tea; and being larger and more abundant
while the plant itself is more easily reared than
tea, and embraces much wider geographical
range, it is certain that they might be sold at
lower price than the poorest Bohea. 1t NAV be-
added that the leaves so prepared would not be-
amenable to the charge of adutelation so often
urged against the ground berry.

INVOCATION TO SPRING.
BY JOHN GREET.
Haste thee, Spring thelight, the happy.
Earth to do thee homage waits:
And Aurora. to allure thee
Wider opes her matn gates.
Plumy voyagers, care erng
To yon bright, cerulian plain
Ask thee, with celestial warnings,
10 resume thy vestal reign.
Zen the gurgling roadside spring
With carol gay pursues its way,
AS Its stainless ripples play
10 the sounds ofcoming Spring.
Come, sweet spirit, wherefore tarry7
Haste. with footstep debonair;
Bring with thee rich dsmask roses
To perfume the evening air.
Nature has, as yet, been sparing
Scarce flower sautes our view:
True we have the jaundiced crocus,
And the snow drops paid hue
But we want thy golden beam,
1t can difiuse luxurious hues,
Such poets fain would choose
To ornate Flora's dadem.
Come thou ever fair cnchantress.
Lend the hyacnthits bloom,
And, beside the modest ly
Give the beauteous tulip room.
Bid creation own thy sceptre,
budding hedge row, tree and bower;
With earths loudest diapason
Jubi'ate thy natal hour.
Come. then. Spring. with iocund tread
hesume thy sway: bird, flower, and fay,
Beckon thee to come away
And In the woodland, vale and mead.
Hold joyous holiday.
