OUR TRENTON LETTER.

TRENTON, Jan. IA, 1850.
Mr.. EDlToR:-On Tuesday last our Leg
islature convened and organized 1t was,
of course, a great disappointment to the
Republicans to find that the straight-out
Americans and Democrats had formed a
coalition, and were able to secure to them
selves the control of the Assembly as well
as the Senate. We, though sympathizing
with those whom we believe to be our
friends, do not wonder to find them falling
short, when their leaders, in the L. S. Sen
ate and House of Representatives are re-
pudiating the first principles of Christianity
and also of humanity, by saying that there
is no natural equality with men, if they
happen to differ in complexion, thereby
cancelling the universal belief that God is
the author of being, and that we are all the
descendants of Adam If our friends are
driven to the wall by the sublety of their
opponents, why not shelter themselves un-
der what have appropriately named Gov.
Banks shield When asked, in the House
of Representatives of the United States,
if he considered the black man equal to
the white man, he answered, CAS- to his
equality l will not say, that remains to be
proved-I would give him the same chance
as others, and then let him prove his..equal-
ity"
Now, sir, my firm belief is that such
answers go farther to assist our cause, than
all the arguments that can be uttered to
prove our equality, because under existing
circumstances it is impossible for US to de-
monstrate an equality-they, from causes
beyond our control, holding superior and
we an inferior position in society. Again,
if | understand the principles for which
we contend, they are neither an intellec-
tual nor physical equality. We contend
only for an equal chance to develope these
natural gifts; for the same opportunity to
employ all the faculties that God has given
us, whether great or small, weak or strong,
to our own benefit, that they accord to
others, and then if we are found equal to
those who, like the Jews, claim to be the
favored of the Almighty, let us stand or
fall. AFRI

LETTER FROM HARTFORD.
HARTFORD, Jan. IA, 1860.

MR.. EDIToR:-Knowing that the inter
ests of the Redeemer's Kingdom every
where are dear to the heart of every Chris
tan, venture to obtrude on your notice
some Of our affairs The cause of RELIGION
does not flourish here as we wish it did.
We do not grow in grace; we do not in
crease in numbers, and our zeal is in some
measure cold. There is, however. some
effort, and IN our stated periods of wor-
ship we often receive blessings from God
and help from the spirit, "inditing our pc
titions for us and kindling anew the fame
of love in our hearts. Some of our yonng
people, too, have united themselves in an
association for their religious and social
benefit. They held fair and exhibition
last week, which was every way creditable
and successful. The movement is not.
however, as general as is desired, many
denying themselves the benefits which
would accrue from union with the asso-
citation.

The application Of such terms as noble

thief robber, a man who has been all hi
life cheating men out of their just dues
simply because for political effect he grants
tbe bodies of two men whom he did every.
thing in his power to kill for no crime
whatever save for magnanimity of soul, is
TOO great stretch of our fancy, is toe
great tax upon our understanding
Words are the exponents of ideas, and
have not heard a single individual outside
tle committee place such a construction
upon the words used as they have. In
stead Of ''Banneker" having "the wool
drawn over his eyes" Hsop" has endeav-
cred TO convert the English language into
something else, in order to defend a posi-
ton illogically assumed. Why not call
Capt. Kidd, Joseph Thompson, Hare, and
other pirates and highwaymen, humane,
generous, magnanimous, &C. for they have
nj exhibited signs of being human beings,
and many Of them have been more entitled
70 such character than Gov Wise. No
truly noble, generous or magnanimous man
requires to have those traits of character
oaradel before the world in order to induce
them to exemplify the truthfulness Of the
statement; but vain and arrogant coxcombs
are sometimes induced to initiate the deeds
of generous and noble hearted men, by
having their passions appealed to and not
their better judgments aroused. Admitting,
for the sake of case, that the language of
the petition will bear the construction
placed upon it by "Hsop," yet is it not
little out of the ordinary course Of proce-
1Gre in such cases for committees to publish
10 the world the result Of their delibera-
tons before they make report to the body
which created them2 1t seems so to me,
whatever " Hsop" & Co. may think of the
matter: but for them to think otherwise,
contrary to the opinions Of Jefferson, South
erIand and Matthias, is no greater presump-
ton than that of their mouthpiece, in i'm
parning my motives with regard to mat

LETTER EROM JAMAICA. Ii


j OAMAlEA, l.. l., jail. 10, lSDU.
MIR. EDIToR:-I take pleasure in an
nouncing the fact that the little town OF
Jamaica has once more awakened out of a
sound sleep. By the combined efforts of
Mr.. Robert Henson and Joseph Henson,
of the Henson Base Ball Club, grand fes-
tlval was given at Edwards Hall, on
Thursday evening, 18th inst The affair
was quite brilliant one, the hall being
decorated with great deal of taste by the
members of the club In the centre of
the room, Immediately beneath the three
gas-burners, were suspended three beauti-
fully decorated bats; also, suspended from
the ceiling and encircled by a wreath of
Christmas greens, was that beautiful prize
ball won and carried off in triumph by the
Henson Base Ball Club, of Jamaica, in
their late match with the Unknown" of
Weeksville, L. l., and for which they de.
serve great deal of credit, the club being
but lately organized. Upon each of the
bats was hung neat little velvet cap of
blue, with a white peak, emblematic of
those worn by the members Upon the
front side Of the wall was long flag or
pennant, festooned in several places.
1t was the intention of the club to give
ball, but the prejudice is SO strong here at
present against the colored people that
they were denied the use of the hall for
that purpose; but after obtaining it, some
two or three young Anglo-Africans, bent
upon having some fun for their money,
commenced whiStling the 'Iiger Polka
and availing themselves of the music, some
of the gentlemen took partners, and dane
ed till the music ceased for want of an ex-
ira pair of bellows to keep it going
The evening passed off very pleasantly
indeed, and the company, after having dis
cussed the merits of the edibles so bounti-
fully provided by the club, rendered Cap
tain Henson their sincere thanks, he hay
ing spared no pains to make everything
comfortable and agreeable.
