most extensive shipping interests in New England,
to the effect that for several months past this house,
one of the wealthiest and standing conspicuous and
almost pre-eminent in the estimate of the mercantile
and commercial community for its proverba integr.
ty and successful enterprise has been directly and
extensively engaged in relieving an Eastern empire
of its surplus and refuse population, and hurrying
to an untimey DEATH consignng to life of slave
ry in their immense and almost boundless noun.

anything we read of in modern African bondage,

For the credit of New England, in this nineteenth
century, hope not but if they are let the names
of these modern kidnappers be made public, that

Tracing shadows on the embers,
At the silent close of day;
Tracing shadows on the embers,
Of the loved ones far awayl
First my Fathers form is bended
As it often was of yore;
And with open hands extended
Dealing good for ever more.
Then INV Mother comes before me
As when sitting by nv side;
Then she stoops as leaning DER me
With mothers hope and pride:
But q coal has quickly vanished,
Both those forms now from my sighti
Ahi poor coal you sadly banished
Many thoughts from me tonight.
Now. spy upon another
Two loved forms in beauty beam,
Tis Sister and Brother.
With glorious light they teem-
All But now another dearer
Than all other things beside,
And this form seems nearer, nearer,
In his glowing nianhoOds pride.
Tis a loved one tis q loved one
That / oft have wished To meet,
That forever in whose bright sun,
might sit beneath his feet;
Then this life would sweetly glide;
All nv moments pass in bliss,
And while sailing down lifes tide
would sing thSre's love in thisl
Then my praise TO God extending
For the mercies of his grace,
Till my blissful life in ending
Found my soul in Heaven place.

LETTER FROM MIR. FILLMORE.

LETTER FROM MIX FlLLMORE.
The following letter written by MIR: Fillmore to
sage sentiment which will find q tardy response
from the mass of the voters in the Union. The let
ter was penned, not with a view to reach the public
eye, but for private perusa and hence we must con.
cude that it expresses the true opinions of the wri
ter. "God save the country, for 1t is eoident the
city declares that the people are NOT CAPABLE
OF SELF-GOVERNMENT, because he was not
elected as Governor of New, York, and Henry Clay
was defeated for the Presidency in 1874! Truly
this is an exhibit to be made by man who is now
seeking the surages of that same people who he de-
cared were not capable of selfgovernn.ent
