22, 1S52. To Edward Search, London Dkar Friend. I am on the banks of the clear, Tapid, and most beautiful Kalaroasoo. not far from the shore of Lake Michigan, into which this river empties, and about 1000 milea in a direct line west of Boston. It would do your very soul good, on some bright, sunny summer morn, to rise from the smoke, dust, noise and confusion of Cheapside, Leadenhall, Lud-gate Hill and the Strand, and be wafted over the once brood but note vastly diminished and contracted Atlantic, (it having been narrowed down from a bteadth of three months to one of twelve days,) and leisurely in a buggy, or whirled by the power of stedm, pas over these fragrant prniries and oak -openings.

Michigan is a geological as well as a social and intellectual wonder. Surrounded on three sides by Lakes Erie, Huron and Michigan inland seas such as the earth boasts not in any other land it is a great peninsula, open to land egress only on the South. No one can pass over it, and note its soil, its gentle, sandy undulations, and its multitudinous little ponds and lakes, gradually being covered with soil by annually growing and decaying vegetable substances, and not be compelled to the conclusion that the lakes which now surround it on three sides, at no distant period of the earth's history, covered its entire surface. Twenty five years ago, inland, it was nearly an unbroken wilderness, except the openings made by nature. Now, it teems with an intelligent, enterprising, thriving, daring population, gathered in beautiful villages, and scattered over the surface.

Railroad's are crossing the State in every direction. The farmers I mean the owners of and actual laborers on the land are within a few hours reach of the New York and Boston markets, and within fi teen days of the markets of Liverpool, London and Paris. Dear friend, let ine say to you. Rise come f.irth from that grcnf, dark sepulchre, London cast off its grace clothes, and come over and look on these clear blue skies, roam over these boundless prairies, pass through and gare on these deep, mighty forests, pass over and around these inland seas, inhale these fresh and fragrant firs, and let your soul grow and expand, one year, amidst Nature's mightiest handiwork. Then go back to the narrow streets and smoke of London, and lie down and say' Now, let thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy But I am heart-sick.

I cannot speak to you of our prairies, our forests our rivers, lakes and mountains, nor of the energy and activity of our population, the boundless extent of our national domain, without shame and horror. Not a forest so deep and dark, not a cavern, not a mountain top, not a river nor a lake, not one little spot, is sacred to liberty. Slavery and slave-hunters are every where. Go where you will, the tears of three millions of slaves are ever before your eyes, their groans ever in your ears. it is most rending to the heart of humanity that this fair heritage should be consecrated to a demon so loathsome, where slave-traders and slave-hunters may hold their infernal revels, and howl out their songs of tri umph over the helpless and the innocent.

God help me It is hard to bear. This land of broad rivers and streams, of sweet flowers and majestic forests, of Talleys of boundless extent and fertility, and mountains on which the impending heavens delight to repose this land of beauty and grandeur one huge al tar, on which Humanity, with all its sympathies and affections, its inborn dignity and glory, its eternal hopes and aspirations, is daily and hourly offered up, a victim to slavery And Louis Kossuth, the world's vaunted champion of universal liberty, for the time being, is the great High Priest of the terrible sacri fice. Why does he thus, consent to cast robe of sanctity around the earth's direst criminals rises from the tomh of his Turkish prison in Asia, traverses Europe, crosses the Atlantic, and is now sweeping through this nation, stirring nil hearts wherever he goes. What is his theme What the obiect of his mission? Is it to vindicate the rights ol humanity i No. Is it to establish justice No.

Is it to rescue man from the auction-s'and No. I it the physical, intellectual and social eleva tion and progress of the race No. Is it to vindi cate the sanctity of the connubial and parental rela tions? No. I it to vindicate the sanctity of indi vidual freedom and the abolition of personal slavery i No. In a word, is it to rescue man, as MAN, from the deep damnation to which oppression dooms him Is it to restore man tohis manhood.

and to vindicate the sanctity, glory and immortal des tiny of our common nature No, no 1 NATION' ALISM i his only theme. Shall Hungary be under the jurisdiction of a few men Pcsth or Vienna? This, merely this is the only object of his inUsion. He sees not, he hears not, he heeds not, the tears. the, sighs, the groans, the anguish of humanity, with ering under the tortures of chattel, personal slavery Not one allusion has he made to slavery in thiscoun trv. The word slavery cannot be found in one of his speeches, pronounced before an American au dience.

The word liberty, even, he never uses, since he was at Baltimore and Washington, without a dis tinct, emphatic qualification, to show that he means no more than Nationalism the right of one nation to manage its affairs independent of all others. The right of each tribe, state, nation and kingdom to do what it pleases to its own individual ci'izen. undisturbed by the remonstrances, or interference of any other state or nation the right of Hungary, Austria, Russia and America, to reduce nine-tenths of its pop ulation to the condition of brute beasts for the benefit of the one-tenth, without the interfering of other nations to prevent the outrage. This is all he means by liberty the right of each government to inflict whatever wrongs and outrages it sees (it upon, its own subjects, without being disturbed in its evil doings by other governments. He says he has no right and no wish to remonstrate with this lie public, because it enslaves one-sixth of its inhabi tants, if it will but give him hospitality, and en sure him aid for tho future of to establish and maintain lis nationality.

Ihis, this is all he seeks; the only great, grand, glorious object of his mission. The reduction of millions of men, women and children to the condition of brutes and chattels is too inconsiderable an affuir for his no ticc. Kossuth, Kossuth, were thy wife and chil dren, and thou thyself on the auction-stand of slave ry, on the slave plantation, driven under the lash of some merciless driver, how soon thy tono would change 1 How contemptible would seem Nationalism compared to individual liberty how worthless to thee would seem Nationalism, compared to Humanity 1 Would some slave-hunter but seize on thee, thy wife and children, and sell yu to some Southern planter on whom thou art now fawning, how suddenly -would thine eyes open to ce how infinitely is MAN ABOVE INSTITUTIONS how utterly worthless ia Patri otism compared' to Humanity and how contempt! hie and deplorable was thy folly in exalting the cUi-ttn above the matt, and in bartering and betraying thy manhood for Hungarian nationality My dear friend In deep anguish of spirit, I cannot ul deplore the conduct of that man, of world-wide mown, since he came among us. He haa shown an tier destitution of sympathy for earth's oppressed -4i enslaved millions. He is ignorant of the very Jrst principles of human liberty.

The character, 'tappine and destiny of human beings have little snnection with the question whether this or that shall be at tho head of the government, or as to oform of the government. Iv fad, and one diich the friend of freedom oughtjwell to weigb THE LI EE A OK that tinder this conatitutiontl government, where suffrage ia more extended than in any other nation, man is more cruelly oppressed and crushed than under any other government on earth. I merely state a fact, which none will or dare dispute, that this Republic, at this hour, ia devo'ing its energies to sustain. strengthen and perpetuate the most cruel system of slavery the eun ever shone upon. Yet Kossuth, adopting the phraseology of these republican tyrants, declares that thia is a pure and model Republic pure and spotless as a virgin's heart! Ia it such a Republic that he seeks to establish in Hungary? Judging from his appreciation of individual freedom, he is not to be trusted for a moment.

He is ready to sacrifice max to the citizen, HUMANITY to Nationalism. God regards and deals with man as man, not as nations. Human beings must be regenerated and redeemed, not by nations, but by individuals. When we. Abolitionists, talk about liberty, we mean man's inalienable right to liberty, as man Kossuth thinks only of the right of a nation to dispose of its own citizens undisturbed by foreign interference.

I have read about every speech be has made in this na tion. He has not uttered a word against slavery or favor of freedom. Hungarian Nationality is his only theme. HENRY C. WRIGHT.

CORRECTIONS REQUESTED. Mr. Editor: Deae Sir, Danvers is a better place than Boston, but having no right to claim residence there, I beg to be printed Dr. Mann, of Boston, 210 Washington street, where I and Dr. Blake, Dr.

Goodno and Dr. Haskell do business all of us pretty good abolition ists and VERT good dentists. I never seceded from the old Society, or attempted to injure the Liberator. I was at the South and elsewhere in those days, and after my return, became an abolitionin, and joined the new organization, for the sake of political action, but with no feeling of hostil- i ity to the old Society. It i true, however, that I at- tempted to defend the clergy, believing a large majority of them sincere and goo-'s I now see otherwise, and cannot wholly excuse my blindness then.

I do not recognize Sumr.er, Hale, and the Free Soil leaders generally, as abolitionists, however much I honor hem for what they are. If they understand the Constitution to require the return of fugitive slaves, I do not understand how they can swear to support it. I have so sworn, and believe that I shall act in accordance with my oath in protecting and defending the slave, at least till his claimant proves that he oxer service or labor a thing, of course, impossi ble. I presume that all abolitionists who swear to support the Constitution take the same view. (1) I believe in the doctrine of Jackson's Veto Mes sage, that every man acting under the Constitution is bound to obey it as he understands it.

I understand it as it is written. I care not for the intentions of those who wrote it. The intentions of rulers and legislators must be taken into account in interpreting their laws, for they have authority to enact their intentions but not so with committees who frame constitutions or draft resolutions, or printers who make blank deeds, or the writers of any mere forms, which are to receive their efficacy by the adoption and sig nature of others. In such cases, the language only is to be regarded. If a ruler whose right I recognize issues a proclamation, lam bound to obey it according to his intentions, whether I understand them at the time or find them out afterwards but if he issues proposals for a contract, which I accept, then I am bound only by the specifications.

(2) When it is said that the people of the United States mutually understood each other to mean something not written in the Constitution, I say that not one in a thousand understood any thing about it, and cer tainly are not bound by any secret understanding of their (3" I have not at hand the proof of what I said con cerning O'Conncll's opinion but Mr. Garrison's ad mission of the uuanswerablcness of the logic of Mr. Spooner's Unconstitutionality of Slavery is enough If the logic of an argument is unanswerable, the con clusion must be true. If the premises be unsound, or the conclusions do not fairly follow, then the fal lacy can be shown and the argument confuted, with out recourse to the invariable action of Government and the decisions of the Supreme which may violate a Constitution, but cannot unmake a logical truth. (4) I wonder that the Liberator should quote the action of Government to prove the Constitution pro-slavery just as if Government would not have done all that Slavery required, even if the Decalogue, or Christ's Sermon on the Mount, or the Constitution of the Society, had stood in the place of the Condi tutinn of the United States.

Do tyrants "ever fail to find a plea for injustice? (5) The Supreme Court has no authority to expound the Constitution except for itself, in cases brought before it for adjudication, as is conclusively hovn in the Veto Message referred to. Its interpretations are not binding upon other departments or officers ol Government, nor upon the consciences of individuals. It can settle cases for others, but prim-iples only for iutlf. 1 rejeet, and leave out of the account, the principles and opinions of a slaveholding and pro-slavery Government and judiciary in thia matter, because they are partial judges. They are interested, and, in effee', bribed to decide for slavery.

I respect the opinions of Messrs. Garrison, Phillips, Quincy, Francis Jackson, but I offset the opinions and arguments of ISirney, Gcrrit Smith, William Good-ell, Theodore D. Weld, Lysandcr Spooncr, Frederick Douglas, Richard Hildreth, and find myself supported by a large majority of those who are in a situation to judge impartially. (6) I do net insist that lY.e Liberator is bound to receive these opinions but that it should respect them. It can serve no rational purpose to pronounce opinions absurd, which are held by men of unquestionable ability and integrity, and which are supported by 4 unanswerable logic and to assume, in spite of the known prevalence of these opinions, that all who support and eulogize the Constitution thereby commit themselves to slavery, is to adopt a mode of controversy which might as well be rejected.

(7) D. M. (1) We do not recollect precisely when D. M. joined the new but the hostility of that organization to the American A.

S. Society and the Liberator was extremely virulent and active, of which fact he could not be ignorant. It ia gratifying to us to learn that, since that period, his vision has been very much purged. (2) D. M.

says he'is for acting under the Constitu tion as he understands iu Has it, tlwn, no distinct purpose, no definite character He does not care for the intentions of those who wrote it, But those intentions were sanctioned by the people in the adop tion of that instrument will he violate them, and yet take the oath All the specifications' in the Constitution, pertaining to slavery, were interpreted in one way only, by those who ratified them. (3) Is it not extremely preposterous, and a desperate expedient, to say not one in a thousand knew what was intended by the Constitution when they voted font? (4) Verbal criticism may be logical, and yet utterly worthless, because not going to the root of the matter. (5) If the United States Constitution docs not sanction slavery, why has it never act free single lave? (6) How haa it happened that we have had a slaveholding and pro-slavery Government' ever since the adoption of an anti-slavery Constitution It is a hitorical phenomenon. (7) D. M.

doet us injustice. We hare never aid that those who give an anti-slavery construction to the Constitution commjt themselvea to but only that such a construction is virtually a dissolution of the Union, and not warranted by any thing in the estimate and treatment of the colored population, in this country, for the last two hundred yeara. JAMES O. BIRNEY. Htaxxis, March 12, 1852.

Mr. Garrison In your paper of last week, I noticed a communication from Gcrrit Smith, stating the position of the Colonization Society as it now is. To me, it was interesting, but more particularly because of his sl lusion to James G. Birney. Mr.

Smith, in attempting to excuse Mr. Birney in regard to his pamphlet, recently published, I think has not fully defined the position of that 'just' man. It is well known that Mr. Birney was once a Col-onizationist. He saw the fallacy of that Society, and left it at once.

An abolitionist he became, and to this day, he has been true to his principles. He is no conservative. He possesses not a party spirit. He i no sycophant, no man-pleaser but the the 4 right- is his standard of action, and never, nev er have we found him maintaining other than those principles. I know him well I love him ranch.

Two years was I an inmate of his family. 4 Birney the just, I had heard him called; and my heart now responds to the same sentiment. Recently, he sent me his 4 pamphlet, which advised the free blacks to go. to Liberia. I read it, but did not find in it a Syllable indicating he mm faeora-ble, even, to the Colonization Society.

His kind heart felt their oppression by the prejudice of the North as well as of the South. He saw their true condition. He saw them as a people scattered and peeled, with no brighter prospect before them on the morrow than there is to-day. He saw the strength of1 prejudice in public opinion against them, and to him, mcthinks, appeared futile all our attempts again -t such public sentiment; and his heart died within him in view of these things and in faint moanings he says, 4 Go to Liberia, to those for whom he has spent his time, his money and his talents for the past many years. It was his feeling hcr.rt, in my opinion, that induced him to write that 4 pamphlet the same feeling heart that has actuated him to stand firm in his principles when mobs and calumny cire'ed his way.

Let those who call James G. Birney 'a Coloniz.Uionist look well ere they make that assertion. It is a Society that his magnanimous soul must and does despise and I douht not his feeling coincides with my own in saying My soul, come not thou into their secrets." Previous to my reading his pamphlet, frequently was I obliged to hear the significant expression Mr. Birney has changed his sentiments, and gone back to the Colonization pnriy; and often have I thought that it was a glad time for his calumnia'ors, and that they felt 4 Aha and so would we have it. Did I not know him well, and appreciate highly his candid mind, I would not attempt to exonerate him in the posit jon which I doubt not he has to many persons apparently assumed.

To be an abolitionist at this day, we must possess true moral courage and shall we shrink from the truth No, my heart answers, while it blesses God that, through the influence of James G. Birney, it has learned to hate slavery, and that it has NO FELLOWSHIP WITII SLAVEHOLDERS. A. J. KNOX.

Thus he bore a testimony against all wars for if there ami) possibly be a case wherein men could be justified in fighting, theirs was such an one. I have, from the commencement, been sorry to see the people of this mtion so excited at the presence of Kossuth; but like all other false excitements, it will soon have an end. It exists more in the animal than ia the mental or spiritual nature; it is a filse fire that will soon go out will last while Kossuth is here to fan it with fl itter, and no longer. It has not its seal in the genuine love of liberty ifor if Kossuth was actuated by the love of universal liberty and right, to tell the Americans of their own heinous sins instead of flattering them, he would have to flee for life.

CP" The Black Swan is accused of having yielded, at her concert in Buffalo, to the restriction whereby the colored people had separate seats assigned them.

The pastor of the Colored Presbyterian Church, iu deacon, and the deacon of the t'-olo'red Baptist Church, all earnestly remonstrated with her, entreating her yicia to sucn a restriction-. isu sn tint yield. The restriction waa ordered by Mr. E. Howard, President of the Musical Association of that city.

So says a correspondent of Frederick Don lots' Paper. Why do not the blacks stand out with moral cour-ge agaiuat every prohibition entailing social contamination upon them? If this charge against the Swan be true, as it seems to be, she is practically against and not for her race, and deserves public reprobation No wonder the colored people eel a wholesome indignation at such conduct.
