WHITTIER on THE FREEDMEN

John G. Whittier, tn, poet, sent
a letter to William Lloyd Garrison,
in answer to an invitation to attend
the anti slavery convention at Phil
adclphia, in which he said:
"White we may well thank Col
and congratulate one another on the
prospec. Of the speedy emancipa-
ton OF the slaves OF the United
States, we must not for a moment
forget that from this hour new and
mighty responsibilities devolve upon
US, To aid, direct and educate these
millions, left free, indeed. but be-
wildered, ignorant, naked and food
less in the wild chaos of civil war
We have to rfhdo the accumulated
wrongs Of two centuries; to re-
make the manhood that slavery has
we'll nigh unmade: to see to it that
the long oppressed colored race has a
fair field for development and i'm
provement, and to tread under our
feet the last vestige of that hateful
prejudice which has been the
strongest external support of south
ern slavery. We must li!t ourselves
at once 10 the true Christian aiti
tude. where all distinctions of black
and white are overlooked in the
heartfelt recognition of the brother
hood of man.

RUSSIA AND THE RUSSIANS.

Bayard Ta, lor, Esq, late L. S.
charge des Affairs at ST. Peters
burg, is lecturing with applause on
the subject of "Ru+sia and the
Russian People" His repeated
visits and extensive travels in Rus
sia, followed by two years of Off
cial residence at the Court, have
given him extraordinary knowledge
as to the true condition of that great
empire; and he has looked at every
thing with American eyes, and de-
scribes what he has seen in his
usua! graphic and straightforward
style. 1t is not surprising that his
representations differ very essentl-
ally from those we are accustomed
to receive through French and
English channels the one always
remembering the Napoleon cam
paign, and the other always fore
boiling the approach of the Rus
SIAN frontier toward India. Mr.
Taylor sees clearly the identity of
the principles of reform adopted
b. the Emperor Alexander II. with
those which underlle our own civil
Iization, and which no other Gu
ropean nation has taken--vlZ: per-
sonal freedom, the ownership OF
land by the laborer, general educa.
tion, and the protection of public
Justice. And these are to be car
ried out as last as the people can
bear them. In regard to Poland,
Mr.. Taylor states the facts in a
clea- Manner; that the trouble was
begun by the priests and petty no
bles, who consplred to avail them
selves OF the eunbarras con
nccted with the abolition Of serfdom
to create reactionary revolution
in the interest OF France and the
Pope; that the bulk of the people
have never participated in the plot;
that the so.calcd conscription at
Warsaw was the consequence and
not the cause Of the conspiracy:
that the alleged uhanimlty Of the
people is produced by system Of
espionage and violence more afro
cious, if possible, than that prac-
ticcd by our slaveholders in Texas;
and that the reconstruct of an
cient Poland, after a century OF
foreign rule, is neither desirable
nor possible. .-Mdfpendcnt

really were. IN state of develop
ment; and in this respect their case
resembles our own, with enormous
advantages in our favor. These
nations. while undergoing the trials
OF war, were oppressed by the evils
of an immense exodus OF their reo-
pie, caused by tho density of their
population, the lmpossibilty to pro-
vide occupation for them. the low
price OF labor, and the scarcity of
territory. Compared with our own
country, they possessed slight room
for future development; they were
settled in every part, and no vast
territory lay invltlngly open to en-
courage enterprise and settlement.
Their great problem has ever been
what to do with their surplus popu-
laton, which, in lis turn, has sought
rev fields for adventures and self
support IN countries like our own,
where an illimitable territory waits
to he developed, and where incalcu-
liable resources invite industry and
energy. The encouragement to he
derived from these facts and com
parsonS of circumstances is very

try is onward and upward, and that

class of the South. This may be
by the education of the freed ne
groes; by their emigration, white
cultivators succeeding them; but
probably by both together, as the
South will support a uuch larger
free than slave population. Such
an infusion of Nankee industry and
energy as the South is sure to ex-
perience after the war-as is indeed
already felt in the subjugated dis
tricts-wiIl soon make that section
much more productive, ard conse
quentlv richer, than it ever could
have been under the lazy and thrift

here is another economical reason
for desiring the general confiscation
of rebel property; it will not only
lit large portion of the national

in condition TO pay in future 4
more liberal share of the taxes by
which the whole debt is to be ulti-
mately liquidated.

TIE NORTH AMERICAN.

The great literary event of the
new year will bc the appearance of
the North American Review, under
the editorial care of Mr. Lowell and
Mr.. Norton. Mr.. Lowell is purely .
literary man, of high tastes and aims.
It is pleasant to find two men, like
Mr.. Lowell and Mr.. Emerson, who
do not rush into print on the slightest
provocation, or without any provo
cation. When Lowell prints apoem,
it is sure TO be n good one. and his
book of Firesidc Travels has been
promised two or three years and is
not here vet. When it comes it will be
fresh and new that is TO those who
have forgotten Putnam's Magazine,
as almost everybody has. Mr.. Nor
ton is n gentleman of much ability
and excellent taste and culture, who
takes great interest in public affairs,
and is more likely than Mr. Lowell
to be on the RIGHT side. The North
American cannot help being greatly
improved under the new editors.
Ticllnor and Fields must look ont, or
the people will be more anxious to
sec the Quarterly and the Christian
Examiner than the Atlantic-S SPring-
.fed Mass J Repujiicaa.

ALL yIHTUIs IN LOVE OF COD.

In the early ages of Christianity,
there was little care taken to analvze
character. One momcntous question
was heard over the whole world.
Dost thou believe in the Lord with
all thine heart ? There was but one
division among mcn,-the great unta-
oneable division between the disci-
pie and the adversary. The love of
Christ was all in all and in proper
ton to the nearness of their memory
Of his person and teaching, men un-
derstood the infnity of the require
mcnts of the moral law, and the
manner i'm which alone it could be
fulfilled In their pure, early, and
practical piety, the early Christians
saw that there was no need Of codes
Of morality or systems Of mctaphy-
sizes. Their virtue comprehended
everything, entered INTO everything
it was too vast and too spiritual to
be defined but there was no need OF
its definition. And, therefore, when
any OF the apostles have occasion to
describe or enumerate any form OF
vice or virtue by name, there is no
attempt at system in their works.
So, also. speaking of virtue, st. Paul
gives up all attempt at definition; he
leaves the definition to every man S
heart, though he writes so as to mark
the overlooking fullness of his own
vision of virtue.-Ruskin.
