BIT TIE EDITOR.

When Thomas Jefferson was in France, and
learned of the passage Of the Slave Bill in Vlr.
glnla, he wrote the following;
"What a stupendous what an lncOmprchenslble
machine is man who can endure toll famine,
stripes. imprisonment, and death ITSELF In vlndl-
cation of his own liberty, and, the next moment,
be deaf to all those motives whose power support
ed him through his trial, and lnhlct on his fellow
men bondage, one hour Of which Is fraught
with more misery than ages Of that which he rose
In rebellion 10 oppose! But we must await, with
patience, the workings of on OverFullng Pr0vi-
dence, and hope that that Is preparing the deliver
ance of these our suffering brethren. When the
measure Of their tears shall be full, when their
gr0ans shall have involved heaven Itself In dark
ness, doubtless q God Of justice will awaken to
their distress, and by dluslng light and berallty
among their OppressOrs, or at length, by his eY-
terminating thunder, manifest his attention to the
things Of this world, and that they are not left to
the guidance Of blind fatality"
These are burning, prophetic words, and III
faith and trust In Gods Providence which inspired
them are sublime, During oil the long, dark
years of prO-slavery prescription and persecution
through which struggled, my faith In Just God
never ialtered. He who noted the falling Of q
sparrow, and who numbers the hairs Of our heads,
surely would hear the groaus Of four millions Of
the human race, for whom Christ died.
It will not do to say that this Is oil past now.
just so long rs one set Of laws and constitutions
are provided for the white man, and another set
for the black man, just SO long does the spirit Of
slavery exist II the black man Is Inferior to the
white man, then he requires more protection
