An anecdote. relative to the late Professor
Wilson is just now circulating. When the
suitor for the hand of Professor Wilson's
daughter had gained the lady's approbation,he
was, of course, referred to papa. Having
stated bis probably, not unexpected case, the
younger gentlemen was directed to desire the
lady to come to her father. and doubtless her
obedience was prompt. Professor Wilson
had before him. for review. some work. on the

'-'5 HOW TO EMASc1rATE THE SLAVE.
It may seem strange for me to say that the
lever with which to lift the load of Georgia. is
in New Y ork, but it is. do not believe that
the whole free North can tolerate grinding in.
justice toward the poor, and inhumanity to-
ward the tailoring classes without exerting an
influence unfavorabe o j istice and humanity
in the South. No one can fail to, see the in
consistency between our treatment Of those
amongst US who are in the lower walks of life,
and our professions of sympathy for theSoqth-
ern slaves. How are the free colored people
treated at the North ? They are almost with
out education. with but little sympathy for
ignorance. They are refused the common
rights of citizenship which the whites enjoy.
*a* *We must quicken all The springs OF
feeling in the free States in behalf of hum an
liberty. and create a public sentiment, based
upon truth and true manhood. For if we act
to any good purpose on the minds of the South
we have gotlto doitl through salutary and
public sentiment in the North. When we have
corrected our own practice, and set an exam
pie of the right spirit, then we shall haze q
position from which to exert beneficial pub
lie influence on the minds of the Southern
slavhGiders. For this there must be full ant
free discussion. Under our institutions, pub
lie opinion is the monarch. and free speech and
debate form public opinion. s't 'aii a'j-a-

GODS srErsToNEs TO LIBERTY,


We are to leave no pains untaken, though
the Christian conscience of the South. to give
to the slave himselfa higher moral status. I
lay It down as an axiom. that whatever gives
more manhood to the slave ,slackens the bonds
that bind him, and that whatever lowers him
in the scale of manhood, tightens those bonds.
If you wish to work for the enfranchisement
of the African, seek to make him better man.
Teach him to be an obedient servant and an
honest, true, Christian man. These virtues are
Gods stepstones to liberty. That man whom
Christi FIRST makes free, has better chance to
be civlly free than any other To make a
slave morose, fractions, disobedient, and nm
willing to work. is the way to defer his emanci-
patton. We do not ask the slave to be satis-
fed with slavery. But feeling its gliepous bur.
den, we ask him to endure it while be must,
as unto God and not unto man. not because
he does not love liberty, bat because he
does not love Christ enough to show forth
bis spirit under grievous wrong. Poor slaves
will never breed respect, sympathy and eman-
cipation, Truth, honor, fidelity, manhood
these things in the slave will prepare him for
freedom 1t is the low animal condition of the
African that enslaves him. 1t is moral en-
frnnchisement that will break his bonds.
