their occasional presence, these missions
would eventually drive out those miserable
grog shops, whose owners rob the planters
of thousands by encouraging their negroes
to steal. These missions, though estab-
lished long time, some are still in their
infancy in doing good, for the want of aid
mentioned above.
The gentlemen owning these negroes
owe them debt which, think, can only
be cancelled by their giving them the Cos

Noire, as the Times" is pleased to style
us, must act; but if we aid the one party
we become 7oarticipeS cysnos'suS in the re-
opening of the slave trade, and the estab-
lishment and protection of slavery in the
Territories. IF we assist the other, we
guarantee the existence of slavery where it
is, and endorse policy which looks to the
expulsion of the free black American from
his native land So that, despite the pre-
JUDGE existing against our independent po-
litical action, sound policy and correct prin-
ciples alike forbid that we should seek to
identify ourselves with either, and compel
us, if we act at all, to act independently.
We are reduced to the necessity of choos-
ing between two evils; and as every vote
withheld from the Republican side is vir-
tually thrown in favor of the Democracy, /
think we ought, while fully approaching
the sentiments which the Republican party
entertain towards us, to cooperate in their
efforts to cripple the power we would fam
destroy-not that we dislike prejudice less,
but that we hate slavery more.

JUSTICE TO WHOM JUSTICE rs DUE

1t is mistake to suppose that the peo-
pie of this country are, as whole, more
blind to the real value of the colored peo-
pie than any other people or nation. In
the late action of the Shareholders Con-
vention at Baltimore, and in the remarks
of New Orleans paper in reference to
the colored population of Maryland and
Louisiana, we have full evidence that the
South are wide awake to the value of the
colored people.
And then, too, look at the re-opening of
the slave-tradel Why is it that New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Newport, and Bris-
toll, are expanding such sums of money to
bring in new stock of African blood 7

and sixty years of age After his time he
became most learned antiquarian and
lawyer. Our young men begin to think
of laying their seniors on the shelf when
they have reached sixty years of age.
How different the present estim4se put upon
experience from that which characterized a
certain period of the Grecian republic, when
man was not allowed to open his mouth
in caucusses or political meetings, who was
under forty years of age.
Colbert, the famous French Minister, at
sixty years of age returned to bis Latin
and law studies. How many of our col
lege learned men have ever looked into
their classics since their graduation?
Ludovico, at the great age of 115, wrote
the memoirs of his own times. A singu-
lar exertion, noticed by Voltaire, who was
himself one Of the most remarkable in
stances of the progress of age in new
studies.
Ogilby, the translator of Homer and
Virgil, was unacquainted with Latin and
Greek till he was past fifty.
Franklin did not fully commence his
philosophical pursuits till he had reached
his fiftieth year. How many among us, Of
thirty, forty and fifty, who read nothing
but newspapers, for the want of a taste fol
natural philosophy! But they are too ola
to learn.
Accorso, great lawyer, being asked
why he began the study of law so late
answered that indeed he began it late, but
he should therefore master it the sooner
This agrees with our theory, that healthy
old age gives the man the power of accom-.
plishing difficult study in much less time
than would be necessary to one of half his
years.
Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, COM
menced the translation of the Iliad, and
his most pleasing productions were written
in his old age.
We could go on and cite thousands OF
examples of men who commenced new
study and struck out into an entirely new
pursuit, either for livelihood or amusement,
at an advanced age. But every one ia
miliar with the biography of distinguished
men will recollect individual cases enough
to convince him that none but the sick and
indolent will ever say, I am too old to
study.

CHEERING INTELLIGENCE.

Rev. Amos Gerry Beman, for many
years the gifted pastor of the Colored Con
gregational Church at New Haven, but
more recently the stated supply of the
church at Portland, Me-, has entered the
field as missionary, under the auspices OF
the American Missionary Association. He
will labor for the elevation of the colOred
people, visiting them, preaching and lectur-
ing to them, and stirring up their minds on
the great themes of religion and humanity.
We ask for him an earnest hearing on
these great subjects, as he isable, eloquent,

HOW SHALL WE VOTE?
o the Editor of the Amglo-Aficaa:

To the Editor Of the Amgl0-Afican
S1R-It has been we'll said that Human
ity never reposes one experience succeed
ing another incessantly-every age yield
ing its tribute of fanaticism to the great
hope of ameliorating the condition of man.
kind" In that hope the free colored pop
ulation of these States have largely shared
how largely, how vainly, you, and l.,
and all of us, well know. But still we
hope, and there is no idea to which we
cling with greater tenacity than that of our
ultimate equal participation in the rights
and privileges of American citizens. And
so, although chattelized on the one hand
and disfranchized on the other, we might
be thought to have no interest inthe affairs
of state; and yet every movement in the
field of politics affects us nearly, as tending
to accelerate or retard the object of our
hopes.
Therefore, it is but natural that we should
desire to throw the influence of our limited
army of twelve or fifteen thousand voters
upon thai side which seems to further best
the ends we have in view. But inlooking
over the political arena, and scanning the
men and measures about to be involved in
the coming Presidential contest, while
there is much to excite our interest, not to
say anxiety, there is nothing to elicit oul
sympathies towards either of the contend
ing hosts. By these we are deserted, as
slaves; by those disliked, as freemen.
On the one side, the sOi diSant Democra
cy are marshalling and drilling their forces
to secure the victories they have already
achieved in behalf of slavery. On the
other, a heterogeneous agglomeration o
political fragments, known as the Republi
can party, (facetiously, by their opponents
yclept Black, on the principle of lucas q
non tuce'ado, suppose are massed. They
aim to lead back the government to it
pristine condition of political soundness
and SO secure the present and prospective
Territories of the Union for the benefit o.
free acJaite labor. They seem to forget thai
to nations as well as individuals,

OUR NEWARK LETTER.
NEWARK, N. j., August %, l8i


Mr.. ED1roR:-In my last letter l alluded
to an alteration that took place in the Z
M. e. Church, between the Revs. T. A.
Davis and VIM. Butler AS the particu.
lars at that time were not definitely stated,
it is but just that the parties should be
placed before the public in true and right
light. 1t appears that the Rev. Mr.. But
Ter was at Newark by invitation Of thu
pastor, Rev. j. Trusty, whom he expectd
to meet at the church, but falling to find
him there, he concluded to await bis arri
val. Mr.. Davis, who was present at the
time, got into a debate with sister, with
whom the most friendly feelings did not
exist. They both used unbecoming Ian
guage, and were much excited Mr. Da-
Wis went SO far as to speak Of the reputa-
ton of her family. This was too much
for her to stand, and she became highly in
censeo. At this juncture Mr. Davis left
her and passed to the opposite side of the
church, and there met Mr. Butler, who,
having heard the row, and considering Mr..
d. to be in fault, proceeded TO reprimand
him for troubling the woman, and particu-
larly for making use of the language he
used towards her. This afronted Mr.. D.,
who replied, rather abusively' that he
would not allow young whipper-snapper
to call him, a man of a family, to an ac-
count Mr. Butler, as a brother, felt that
no had done no more than discharge his
dutv by stating what he had, therefore he
repeated the same. At this Mr.. d. be-
came ncensed, and used, towards Mr.. B,
Objectionable language, which was imme,
diately repealed, when one word broush
on another until the reputation Of Nj
Buffers family was Individually asSalled
in such abusive language that Mr. b., for
getting his position in society, and also tnV
place where he was then standing, resent
ed it by stating, in unmistakable Language,
that it was lie, and that repetition o.
the same would induce him to slap MS
cheek. Mr. D. did not hesitate to repea'
the Objectionable language, which was III
sooner done than Mr. B. slapped his race
Mr.. d., forgetting the humble injunction
to turn the other cheek, resented it instant
err by blow at Mr.. b., which rather mar
red bis appearance. A brother trustee !"

A SOUTHERN VERDICT. slave named
Charles was tried in Winsboro, La, on a
charge of striking and drawing blood from
his overseer-a capital offence. A ma
iority of the jury were in favor of an I'M
conditional acquittal of the negro; but fl
nally the following queer verdict was rem
dered: We, the court and jury empan-
led for the trial of Charles, slave, acquit
him of any capital offence, and from mo-
tives of policy, and not from the justice of
the case, sentence him to receive one hun
dred and fifty -four lashes by the Sheriff, but
not so as to cut the skin of said slave, on
the first day of September" An appeal
has been taken in behalf of the negro to
the Supreme Court.
