NEW HAMPSHIRE.
By J. C WHITTIER.

-
God bless New Hampshire from her granite
peaks,
Once more the voice of Stark and Laugdon speaks.
The long-bound vassal of tn ex~ulting South,
For very shame her self-forgcd chain has broken.
Torn the black seal of Slavery from her mouth,
And in the clear tones of her old time spoken!
Oh, all undreamed-of, all unhoped-f for changes
The tyrant's ally proves his sternost foe;
To all his biddings, from her mountain ranges,
New Hampshire thunders an indignant No
Who is it now ~despairs? Oh, faint of heart,
Look upward to those northern mountains cold,
Floutcd by Freedoms victor flag unrolled,
And gather strength to bear n manlicr part.
All is not lost. The angel Of Gods blessing
Encamps with freedom on the field Of fight.
Still to her banner, day by day, are pressing
Unlocked for allies, striking for the right,
Courage, then, Northern hearts BE firm, be
What one brave state hath done, can ye not also
do?

was required to give my personal bond for 81 900
not to enter the State ngain. Although l felt it
was unjust, thought it best to do so, that | might
be at liberty, to bring suit. l found my family in
a needy condition, although they had some friends.
But such is the Southern influence here, that there
is not a half n dozen men in Evansville that dare
to speak their sentiments OH slavery. While |
wa. in prison, a man named Easton visited my wife
with a lie in his month, and tried to induce her to
leave Evansville. lie told her that | could not be
released unless they left, not only Evansville, but
Indiana.
"lf such treatment as l have received be toler-
atcd by the citizens of the border Statos, it will
not be long before tho Southerners will strike out
the line between the North and South, as they have
done in Kansas"
Of his prison treatment Mr.. Briant says:
81 was kept in Jail all winter, in a room where
there was not a spark of fire. They gave me a
matrass about one and a half inches thick. Nv
food at times was unfit for a brute. On one occa-
sion, the beef being too raw, l complained to the
'jailor, L. W. Brown, who cursed and abused me
like a dog. I.wish the public to know his course,
particularly the citizens of Hender son county,
Kentucky, When talked to concerning the jail
iaro, he says the cooking department is under the
charge of Mrs. Colin, and that he has nothing
to do with it. Henderson county jail is one
OF the worst managed in Kentucky, and the
jailor a wicked and inhuman w~retch-and to the
disgrace of Henderson county be it said-s perfect
sot."
We have seen no notice of these facts except the
above, and yet we have no reason to doubt their
truth. Mr.. Briant was a laboring mana me-
chanic employed in Henderson, and the slavehold-
crs doubtless thought that, as he degraded him
self by labor, he should be a slave, and therefore
sought his cnSlavement in the penitentiary.

KN0W-No1HlNGIsM AND PREJUDICE
AGAINST COLOR.

An amusing debate occurred in II Cincinnati
Committee Of arrangements for the 18th, in which
knoU.Nothins prescription was rittcd against
negro prejudice.
Tho reports of tho various committees being
called, the committee On Music reported that a
German baud could be engaged to play duriug
the 4th, of July for 5000, and advised their employ
ment.
John Waggonor, Esq, was opposed to the re-
commehuatlon OF the committee. fle was on the
committee on Music, but had not been consulted,
lie was opposed to marching behind 4 lot OF Dutch
who would be drinking lager beer.
The report of the committee was finally accepted
and n resolution passed that they should be en-
powered to hire Audcrson's Brass Band (colorodl
if it could be procured.
The reason for this was that it was supposed
that the charge ui the German band was exorbi-
tant.
Mr.. J. Ross wished to reconsider the resolution
pa sscd relative to Music. lie was able to stand
something wrong, but could not feel contcnted to
have it said that they (thc committee) were going
out TO hire the short haired band for the sake Of a
little extra expense. lie wished the privilege of
hiring Anderson's (colored) band withdrawn. 1t
is, said he, cast up almost every day, that there we
are to get our support, aad | wish the motion re.
considered.
The motion to reconsider was passed.
Mr.. >. TOSS moved to strike out the word "col.
orcd' in the resolution to hire, and then the rcso-
tNi'AA Nbtih Nta,'Nti NiC committee 10 nllG any
band they saw proper.
Mr.. John Waggoner.-So far as my American
feeling is concerned, | would rather walk behind
AN African than a German or an Irish band either.

procession.
If they are, they will be running out to get
whiskey or lager beer.
The chairman hoped no reflections would be
made against the band proposed to be engaged,
who were all gentlemen.
Mr.. Waggoncr disclaimcd any reference to them.
lie was not ashamed to walk behind the blacks.
lie had been thirty years in Cincinnati, and pro-
ierred 1t IN many respects to Kentucky, but he
preferred colored men who would fight for liberty
and country, to all the Irish in creation.
Mr.. J. RosS-The gentleman wished to let him
self out a little, and | had no objection. but | hope
'colored" will be stricken out.
On vote the word was erased, and the ommitte
empowered to ire any band they saw proper.

PRUSSIA, EDUCATION AND SLAVERY.

1t has been the wonder of many that a dcspotic
government like Prussia should maintain so gen.
eral and excellent a system of instruction as
that attributed to it. The government itself
seems to have come to the conclusion that it has
o~verdone, or too well done the work of education,
for the stability of its power, and has recently ia
kcE a long step backward. 1t has come to the
same conclusion with Virginia that schools and
school teachers are dangerous foes to dcspotism.
Although Prussia does not 60 the length of our
Virginia despots and prohibit schools and impris-
on teachers, it is moving in that direction. 1t
adopts what is perhaps n wiser course, substit
tutes the catechism for science and so limits the
education and general intelligence of the teachers
as to make them the willing instruments of its
power. According to the Royal mandate, ~instruc-
tors, are hcnceforth to learn only such branches as
they are expected to teach, and in the Normal
schools, where six hours each week have heretofore
been devoted to the science of teaching, only two
are hereafter to be thus employed and the time
thus saved is to be devoted to the study of the
catechism. Teachers are only to be made &C.
%quainted with the branches taught in the public
schools.
In the matter Of slave rendition, the Prussian
government is also manifesting its decided sympa,
thy With our peculiar institution. The Cincinnati
Gazette publishes the following from Il corrcspon.
dent in Saxony under date of June 10Th:
81 have taken the liberty to acouaint Won with n
most singular decision which was given Yesterday,
and particularly confirms our fugitive-slave law.
AS, nc decision smanstes from the highest tribu-
nal OF the kingdom of Prussia, it is certainly an
authority which may be successfully quoted here,
after. 1t @ppears that a DR.. Ritter brought with
him to Berlin, Prussia, a negro slave which he had
purchased in Brazil. All the proceedings which
are SO often and successfully had in the free States
were Immediately instituted by the European abo-
litionist, and although the slave was first declared
to be free, or rather the owner prevented from tax
ing possessions of him, it has been decided, after
full investigation, that the case has to be adiudged
according to the lee loci, and the application of the
slave has been refused, and he has been remanded
to his owner. AS far as my information on the
subject, after dilligent inquiry, goes, this is the
first case ever decided in Prussia and it is, there.
by, fully conceded that the owner of a slave ma
bring him with him to Prussia, and there retail
him and again export him as a slave"

THE ASHMUN INSTITUTE,

We are under obligations to numerous friends
for newspapers, (sonie seven or eight containing
an account Of the proceedings of the PRESBYTERIAN
General Assembly at Nashville, concerning the
Ashmun Institute. The editors nearly all declare,
as did the Reverend gentlemen composing the As
sembly, that they are not abolitionists, seeking by
windy declarations to ruin the peace of both
races, but they are the true friends of the colored
man, seeking to elevate him by education. And
they then lift their philanthropic eyes, and bid
the ~misguide | abolitionists to go and do likewise.
Now we are certainly pleased to see the Ashmun
Institute established we hope that it NAV be
crowded with students every term for education
is what we want, and, like the old lady who thanked
God for her loaf Of bread, Though the devil
brought it." we are thankful whenever opportunl-
ties Of education arc multiplied.
But it is certainly II cool piece of impudence in
these gentlemen editors and reverends, to censure
the abOlitionists, the men whose constant exposure
of the sin of slaveholding pass aroused their dor
mant consciences, and caused Them to do that in
which they are now engaged. If the colored man
has any real friends in the United States, they are
found among the abolitionists.
They who flavor everything they do for us with
abuse OF the abolitionists, and hbels on the colored
people, arc certainly enemies.
When the abolitionists commenced their work
of agitation, the colorod man was everywhere re-
fused admission, except as q favor, into the educa-
tional institutions of the country now, in every
free State there are colleges and schools of high
character opened to him as n right, and in neariy
all, their education is provided for in the public
schools of the State. All this has been brought
about by tie uutiring efforts of the abolitionists,
and it i'll BELTS these tardy corners into the field of
