Thoughts come like blazing comets, 'thwart the

And wonder stricken millions look with terror up

They dread lest ey'ry fabric in this God-made

Lest comet SO portentous should o'erwhelm and

But thoughts too have tier orbit, all eccentric

Thoughts come like Spanish gulleons, with treas

With richest jewels laden, bright donations for

Each soul is on Tie ii p-toe, as their %gallants touch

Our hearts with high hopes laden as those vessels
drawing nigh;
God grant each noble vessel may its destined lar
Dor win,
His fav'ring breath safe watt them with their pre-
oious cargocs in.
Thoughts come like ayalanches from the loft,

an increase of their per diem. Whether they in

Hope they will.
The Bill to increase the Salaries Of Members Of

Judges at 81 800 for the Chief Justice and $3.50
for the Associate Justices. 1t gives to each SonO

Stephens, Of Georgia, undertook to show that
the Nebraska Question had nothing to do with Nor

S. to the rack on his absurd points, and endeavored
to get the Georgian to toe the mark on the point

exclude Slavery from any Territory-S. having

excluded Slavery from a portion Of the Territory

ABOLITION OF SERVITUDE.

THE fifty years which We celebrate, have tlher
mighty strides towar is the abolition of servitude
Prussia, in the hour of its suherings, and its great
est ~calamities, renovated its existence, partly By
the establishment of schools, and partly by chang
ing the attempt towards preserving the nationality
of the Magyars may have failed but the last YES
tiges Of bondage have been eiiaced, and the holders
of the plow have become the owners Of themselves
and Of its soil"
Tho above is the meaGre cpitome, according to
Mr.. Bancroft, OF what the world has done in the
last fifty years for the abolition of Servitudo."
Why was not the historian bold enough to say what
the last fifty ycrrs have done for the perpetuatiOn
Of human scryituic, and thus let us see how little
he was justified in saying: Finally, rs a consc-
qucIce of the tendency OF the race towards unity
and universally, the organization OF society must
more and more represent the principle Of FREE
DOM" Never before in the history OF mankind
was the diversity Of the races more powerfully ad-
yocated. and more respectfully endorsed. The idea
is adopted wit ayidity Ivy q large portion of the
people Of tho Sonth, and TO believe in the unity Of
tbs races viii soon he as obuoxious ms Abolitionisin
itself. Does Mr.. Bancroft forget that Mr. Wise
has Just written q pro-slaycry letter, that openly
and d~ciantly advocates lho seryitude OF the race,
ana that the doctrine is moro boldly set forth in
our papers and in our halls of Congress than uni
gotten that the word FREFDoN, itself, rs it now
stands in small caps in his printed addrers, will
carry alarm to thousands Of his American readers,
and call down anathemas upon his "mawklsh SEN
timentality ?" Abolition of seryitude, indeed
Mr.. Bancroft felt abe letters upon his orn mind
when he wrote the paragraphs VIC have quoted,
and his very heart strings pnlyituted, lest by such
soft brcathings, as seem like hintings in favour Of
freedom, he would call down the denunciations Of
an american press! which he says he believe,
constitutes itself the organ of collective human
ity.' a SOUTHERN FREEMAN.

TILL WESTERN ANTl.SLiyEGY FAIR,

For 1854, wHl be he5d in salem, on Friday and
Saturday 22d and 23rd Of December.
The proceeds of the Fair will be applied directly
and Immediately in efforts for the abolition Of sla-
very and we trust our friends-tlle friends of the
slave and universal freedom, need no labored argu-
mcnts to convince them that the late manifestations
of the slave power should stimulate us to greater
and more determined efforts for its overthrow. and
we therefore ask all the friends of freedom for aid
in this enterprise, in the confident hope Of a gener-
Gus response The scarcity Of the season should
servo to remind US that the slave has no resources,
no hope but the untiring efforts of the abolitionists.
Grain, Flour, Frait, Vegetables and provisions
of every kind are particularly acceptable. We
would suggest that if our friends when laying up
their winter stores, would set apart a portion for
the Fair, it would then be ready to send by tho FIRST
opportunity, All kinds of Merchandise, the pro-
ducts of every industrial vocation, every thing in
common exchange will be thankfully received and
appropriated to the best advantage. Will the sew
ing societies be %punctual in sending their coutribu-
tions, not too soon, lest there be some missing
stitches" not too late lest we should not get them
Will Artists remember that specimens of their
handi-work are ever welcome and most appropri-
ate and fitting offerings on the altar Of humanity.
If our little friends in the country would ask how
they could help US, we would suggest by a portion
(tho' SMALL might be- of the newly gathered store
Of nuts.
Boxes or parcels can be forwarded to or left at the
Stores of James Barnaby and Joel M'Millan, on

STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN SMIru.-The disclosures
O fCaptain Smith in regard to the slave-trade, which
we copy from the Evangelist, are contradicted by
che SLAYER captain, in the following note to the
Tribune:
TO the Editor Of Ike NJ Y. Tribune;
SIR: / road, in the Tribune Of the Sth instant,
Confessions said to have been made by me, relat-
sng to the Slave Trade, to the Editor Of the Evan
gelist. | beg to inform you that these statements
are entirely false nor can | see the reason of this
clerical gentleman for publishing such fasehood,
unless he intends to influence the public mind
against me. or, after having read Capt. Canot's
work, tried to publish a similar novel, which to
him, no doubt, is very interesting.
beg of you to do me the favour to give these
Zines q place in your paper, and ohlige,
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES SMITH, Capt.
City Prison, Dec. 10, 1854.
The statements of the Evangelist will probably
receive credit, rather than this last publication.
II is said the Auditor of Indiana has made
$4,000 fees by the return of bills Of the State
Stock Banks of that State.
