FREE SPEECH AND FREE MEN

With all our boasts of the entire freedom Of
thought, with Truth left free to combat error,
all over these free, enlightened and glorious
republics, il is yet an ncongruous and melans
choly fact that the tendency in these latter times
every where, is TO absorb all individuality and
to suppress every thing like personal indepen-
dence of thought aud of action. One of the
most marked aud notable instances of the truth
Of this statement is found in the persecution of
Mr.. Underwood Of Virginia. Living in a slave
community, and having deep personal inter-
est, as citizen Of that community, he had
watched the workings OF the slave system, and
had arrived at the conclusion that the best in
teresis of his stale demanded a course Of action
calculated TO check its further extension. En-
,ertaining these views he thought proper TO at.
tend the Philadelphia Convention, where he
spoke manfully but inofensively, the conyic-
tions of his judgement, For this, he is threat
ened with personal violence and is warned no,
to return to his home lie was obliged TO send
for his family and is now an exile from his
state. venerable Bishop of the Episcopal
Church in the same state, had the temerity, in
