The Liberator from Boston, Massachusetts • Page 3

WHOLE NO. 1122. yjjE CAUSE IN -NEW BEDFORD AND I left Id Concord last Saturday, to spend tome time in the neighborhood of New Bedford, in the service of CI n. the Massacnusew Anu-oiTvrj oocicty. Aiiett not dusty rid of three arrived here, and vu made welcome to the enjoyment and repose of auch a horn one can find only with the radical reformers ofthiaday of general mammon worship.

I have given my course of four lecture eighteen times aince -this year came in. My experience in new lieaioru has been the plcasantcst, by far, of them all. It is glwaVS a sjrvnv ptniaurv vu mv in aw uiv cuimcu jw- pie doingVell. I know that they are as capable of great and good accomplishments as any other people in the world. The cruel prejudice and oppression of the American policy towards the colored race of this country hare crashed, and still press, millions of our brothers and sisters, under an intolerable burden of justice.

The nominally free, as well as the slaves, are made to drink the bitter cup of social wrongs at our hands. The colored children of Boston are ex eluded from the public schools of that idolatrous city, although their parents are taxed to support these schools. Colored men are outlawed by Constitution and Statute in Indiana and Delaware, and, to a great extent, this is done by public sentiment in all the States of this Union. The Fugitive Slave Law, and the horrible scene of kidnapping which have resulted therefrom, take from the hole coloved population of he Union their just security to life, liberty and happi ticss. So far as this law can do it, four millions of Americana are deprived of protection, and placed in a condition of outlawry.

And this basenes, this national infidelity, is sanctioned and sanctified by the great body of the American churches, through the support they give to the infernal colonization scheme. The great body of the American priesthood stand before the world with the gospel of Christ in their bands, and say to the colored man, You cannot be a max in this Christian land. You are under a terrible burden of reproach and socinl injustice, and shall ever be, so long as yonpersist in dwelling in the land of your fathers. Go, then into exile. Leave the 4 land of your birth, where your affections are all garnered, and seek, a home among the savages of distant pagan Africa.

Once there, we will cease to molest, and oppress, and abuse you. But never hope for justice in your native land. God has made us 1 with a prejudice against you, and when we were regenerated by the Holy Spirit, we were born into increased hostility towards the poor colored man. So you must depart, and find a ome with pagans who have none of this Christian prejudice against your accursed race. The wonder is, that all this terrible injustice meted out ro persistently to the colored people of America, by their stronger and more numerous white neigh- bora, ever aince the aettlement of this continent by Tthe white man, has not utterly checked and ruined "tha colored race.

Look at the men of varied ac-'. eoaiplishments, and of rare mental and moral worth, belong to that race, and estimate, if you can, the cruelty, the utter atrocity of the American prejudice against the people of color. "I was very much gratified to see so many of the colored citizens of New Bedford at our anti-slavery meetings on Sunday and Monday. I was glad to learn that the colored people of this city are so generally prosperous and respected. I should be rejoiced indeed to see them arid their brethren, in this old Commonwealth, less under the control of a sectarian -religion, and more interested in the anti-slavery cause.

They ought to take one hundred copies of the Liberator in this city alone. They ought to be active and earnest in sustaining the anti-slavery cause for it is their hope, their life, their redeemer. The same may be truly said of all the workers of our country, their color. The anti-slavery cause must triumph through their exertions, or they become slaves. Tbis work waits For their aid.

While. they go by on the other side to their sectarian synagogues and pro-slu-'very parties, the chains are being forged for them and their children. If they suffer this great hour to go by Unimproved, the iron of Despotic Power will enter their souls. i The expense of hall hire is here so great, that we held our meeting, on Monday evening, on the steps of the City Hall. A fine audience gathered, and all orderly and attentive.

I had been speaking about twenty minutes, when the city marshal came, 'and ordered me to leave, because there was to be a meeting of the city council, and my speaking would disturb them. We were on the atepa at one end of the building; they were in the third story at the other end. Of course, there could could be no dis turbance from the power of any single pair of lungs. under such circumstances. The thing is simply pre posterous.

So I told the mighty official, that I would not disturb the council. They ahould be allowed to pass in, and come out, unharmed. I begged him to tell them not to be afraid; and I assured him I shou Id go on with my remarks, unless compelled to desist. At this moment, friend Ricketson interpos eil, saying that I was a friend for whose integrity he would vouch, and that I was an Agent of a Society to which he belonged, and proposed that I go on till he could see the Mayor, and get his decision on the question of my right to apeak there. To thia the officer assented, and I proceeded.

Mr. Kicketson ap pealed to the Mayor, his old school-mate, and at the present time a neighbor and ir.timate friend, to pro tret the right of free discussion. But in vain. He decided to sustain and enforce the decision of the marshal. So it was thought best to adjourn to the steps of the Court House, and there, with an audi ence of some five hundred, we finished our meeting on Monday evening.

I expect to apeak here asain to night, and anticipate an interesting and profitable service. 1 1 am informed that a larger number of Liberator eomes to New Bedford thsn to any other place in Maa sachusetu. This is the result of the faithful action of one of the moat faithful abolitionist to be found any where. Thia man, a mechanic, a hard-worker, without wealth, went round last spring, and got thir- ty new subscribers circulated some thirty copies of the ritings of William Lloyd Garrison' and now stand ready, aa he always has done, to put his strong shoulder to the wheel, and roll on the car of Reform. And now, if there was one auch worker in every town is the State, the subscription list of the glorious old liberator would be increased, in one year, to ten thou sand.

Will not some, who read thi, be moved to make a faithful effort to extend the circulation of the Liberator There are men and women, wherever the i -Wfraor Roee, who have leisure and influence, and they ought, I think, to make earnest effort to spresd Uospel of Liberty among the people, by circula ting thi paper. On Monday morning, I atarted out to get subscri-m and collect funds. I wrote, at the head of a aeet, a follow: We, the undersigned, believing we necessity of the constant nreachini? of th s-oa- Pl of deliverance to the people of this land, agree to we sum annexed to our names, in aid of the Mas sachusetu Anti-Slavery Society, to do thia momen a I00 ork' What has been thus obtained, with the cunday collection, amounts to 42 fio.

I spent Wednesday in calling upon the people.

I found the strolling influences there bitterly pro-slavery. One who is leader in the Orthodox church, de nounced Garrison called him an infidel said he ought to be hung, Jtc On Wednesday evening. I spoke at the same place, as I had done the day be fore. Some Whig Pharisees took mortal offence at what I said of the Whig policy some Orthodox Pha risees at what I aaid of Orthodox policy. The former expressed their feeling by getting up cheer for Scott and the fugitive Slave Law, and by biasing to disturb the meeting.

The latter called out to me, You are a renegade from the Orthodox church. But tho great majority of the five hundred who were pre ent were attentive and orderly, and expressed their disapproval of the conduct of the disturbers so deci dedly, thst they were, -at length, forced to desist. 1 found some very earnest friends of the cause in Fair haven. They were much; pleased with our series of meeting there and I have no doubt good will result. On the last evening, a young man took thi Liberator, and several other expressed a wish to do so as soon as they should be able.

I would suggest to the friends of the cause in Fairhaven, the propriety of making special efforts, from time to time, to 'enlarge the cir culation of the Liberator in that place. This work can be done often to much better purpose by those who live in town, than by agents who know none of thespeople. In Fairhaven, also, I collected $10 98 for the cause, and one man, who contributed $5 00 of thia amount, aaid he had twenty more at the service of the anti-slavery esuse, which he should forward to you in the course of this year. I felt a peculiar interest in Fairhaven, because there my dearest and best frienda had dwelt in fermer rears. May the anti-slavery cause, there and elsewhere, be revived May the unholy and inhuman partiea and churches of our land be broken up by the omnipotence of Truth May this people be associated into a truly democratic party, and into a truly Christian church, and work earnestly, constantly and successfully for the redemption of the world from oppression and superstition, and for the establishment of the universal brotherhood, in which the will of God shall be done on earth as it is done in heaven Yours, fraternally, DANIEL FOSTER.

New Bedford, July 16, 1852. THE BTBTiTi AND THE LIBERATOR. East Bridgewatek, July 18, 1S52. Friend Garrison I regret, exceedingly, that our friend Thomas Galbreath should deprive himself of the inestimable pleasure of the perusal of the Libera-afor, merely because some of its patrons happen to differ from him on the character of the Bible. Now I would say to that friend, I regretted the appearance of that letter of Mr.

Barker, in the Liberator, as much as himself; not because it was in the Liberator, but because the friend wrote it. Now, I have not the least doubt of the benevolent intentions of our fiiend in his assault on the Bible I believe he honestly thinks it sanctions slavery; and if so, who would believe it I do not believe our disaffected friend Gall beath would. I have a high opinion of the Bible, butl think the Liberator is not the place to discuss its good or evil qualities end I should expect a rejection of any opinions of mine, from the columns of the Liberator, for reasons too numerous to mention. I really hope our friend Galbreath will speedily change his mind, and immediately order the Liberator i and continue to profit under its benign influence and the more so, because I feel it to be a great benefit to me, and all others who read it. All its readers know it to be a free paper, and are willing to trust its conductor and if a friend choose to attack the Bible, for the benefit of the oppressed, you will, of course, admit him into your columns.

If I were ever so capable of exposing the abominationa of slavery, and could not be admitted into your columns, would I find fault? No neither would if five hundred such letters as friend Barker'a were admitted. I think friend Barker will find it difficult to convince people, that the Bible is false, or sanctiona slavery and I hope ail friends of freedom, every where, will attack Slavery, and not the Bible. I would say to our Ohio friend, that all the truth which is published in the Liberator is the word of God, as much as any part of the Bible. All truth is from God. Give me the principles held forth in the Liberatnr, or give me death." J.

LEONARD. HENRY CLAY PERSONAL GUILT. Friend Garrison Some of your readers complain of Brother Treat, because he condemns Henry Clay on account of slavery while he lived, making him a free agent and aince his death, making him out a machine, now many such machines would it take to free this land Henry Clay did nothing but curse the country while he lived. If he was a free agent then, he is a free man now if a machine now, he was so when he lived. It is foolish and absurd to blame men for sin that they cannot help, or to justify men for the good they must perform.

And for people to condemn the Bible, because they do not understand its teachings, is extreme arrogance. If one half our reading were Biblo reading, we should be better men and women. Let us lay aside all commentator, except Jesus Christ, ne says, Search the Scriptures, and gives the reasons John v. 39 and then goes on to tell us what the Scriptures are, in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If I find Paul casting with the Evangelists, I do not receive Paul.

The ten commandments are summed up in two Matthew xxii. 37,39 supreme love to God, and our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus Christ says, The words that I speak unto you are they are life. John vi. 63, and xv.

10 If ye keep my commandment, ye ahall abide in my love even as I have kept my Fathcr'a commandments, and abide in his love." Thus, by abiding in Christ, we can do what-aoever he commands us. Here is an end of all controversy. I do not wish to hear any man say he does not believo the Scriptures for if I do, I charge it to his ignorance of the same. I am no sectarian. I believe God is no respecter of person but in every land, he that doeth justly and worketh righteousness is accepted of Him.

Nothing but the spirit of Jesus can pro-, duce a reformation in Church or State and to do away Slavery we must have the spirit of Christ. He must be the beginning and the end, the first and the I love your paper, and shall continue to read it but I would like consistency, for it as a jewel. A FRIEND OF PROGRESS. Newburyport, July 18, 1852. NON-RESISTANCE.

Friend Garrison I read in the Liberator of 1 1th mo. 14th, 1851, an article from Edward Search, containing this sentence I feel assured that Henry C. Wright, great advocate as he is of the non-resistance doctrine, could not make out the duty of a slave to surrender himself voluntarily to 'his master and if he cannot make it out to be a duty on the part of the slave, his whole case is gone." Henry has never replied to this, or it has escaped my notice. I hope friend Search will not take it ami, should I make some remarks on his idea of non-resistance. True non-resistsnce is Christianity without adulteration.

Anything ahort of the spirit of non-resistance is just so far ahort of the heavenly mind that breathes peace on earth, and good will to In the first plsce, it is not the duty of any man to call another master in the next, it is not the duty of any man to obey another, when his orders conflict with right. It may aafcly be set down as a rule, that men should always be governed by their own sense of duty, and we should complain of no man when he lives according to the dictates of his own conscience but when he claims to be a Christian, and under a Christian precept or example undertakes to justify LIBER A TO IH.H 119 war, or the use of carnal weapone in shape, we may say, in truth, that he lets down the purity of Jesus to the common level of public opinion. From this it mast appear clear, that if we admit the spirit of war to be right and justifiable, there can be no limit to devastating effects power and perverted judgment being all that is necessary to carry craeliv and oppression to the very verge of human endurance. It would appear simple to undertake to prove that a Christian cannot fight, and almost useless to undertake to establish, by argument, the soundness of tho philosophy of Jesus it is so generally Bat, to the text. A slave is not bound to surrender himself voluntarily to any man, neither is he bound to work without wages; and the truth docs not require that he hide himself from his pursuer, but walk boldly forth as a roan, preaching the gospel, and earning his living by the sweat of his brow; and if tyrants oppress him, it is not his fsult he is not censurable.

He un-i dergoes not more than good men in all ages have done before, and, verily, he will have his A few such examples of true piety and moral heroism among the slaves would disarm the slaveholder more completely than all the rcvolvera Colt ever made. It is a law of nature, that like produces like; and the use of moral power alone can increase the growth of morals. A soft answer turneth away wrath, and angry words stir up strife. War kindles the spirit, of war, and lays low the feeling of peace on earth and good will among men. It is the same with every element of man's mind, whether it be caution, firmness, self-esteem, veneration, benevolence, or reason.

We must appeal to the faculty we wish to enlarge; and by this means the end will be accomplished, as certain as heat and moisture will aid in covering the fields with verdure. MICAJAH T. JOHNSON. South Creek, Harrison Co-, (Ohio,) 16 th of 7th 1352- t3T NINETEENTH NATIONAL ANTI-SLAVERY BAZAAR, To be held in Boston, dcriko tbz Christ mas Week of 1852. The Managers of the National Anti-Slavery Bazaar feel it unnecessary, on the present occasion, to enter upon any full or detailed exposition of their principles or objects.

These have been avowed and pursued for so many years, and with ao much publicity, as to render such a procedure superfluous. We would not. at the same time, lose sight of the great fact, that there may be many among us, whose consciences and hearts have been but recently aroused to a sense of the importance of this great question, who, though feeling much, may be doing little, and who would gladly welcome a medium by which their exertions will be made effective toward the overthrow of Ameri can Slavery. To such, we would submit the very briefest outline of our principles and aim. J.

We regard the idea of property in man as unparal-elled, whether considered in respect to its atrocity or absurdity consequently, that all legislation based thereon ia in the highest degree criminal. Any other doctrine outrages every intellectual perception and every human instinct. Considering the above self-evident proposition, underlying all religion and all morality, apart from whose recognition the words right, justice, become meaningless, we esteem its opponents, whether slave holders or the apologists of slavcholding, as implicated in guilt of the most fearful description, both against that God who has made of one blood all nations of and against their fellow-men generally, the rights of all being perilled by the enslavement of any. The promulgation of this doctrine is the end and aim of our association. By its presentation to individual hearts and consciences the country through, we would arouse so deep a spirit of personal repentance and self-sacrifice as shall result in a national contrition and reformation.

When this is accomplished, the American slave is free. No obstacles exist now, save those that ambition, and avarice, and cruelty, and kindred vices supply. When the heart of the nation becomes repentant, we may easily trust it to find the best modes of action for the accomplishment of its will. To this result, and this only, our funds are devoted. We have nothing to do with creeds or parties, with political enginery or theological warfare.

In the name of the common Father of all, and in behalf of humanity, in its most Buffering and outraged form, we appeal for help to all of every class, creed, clime or nation. Great as is the work, few and humble as are the laborers, we feel exonerated from all charge of presumption or folly as respects its undertaking. We are working in harmony wi'h agencies vast as inscrutable, and it is not for us to draw back from this field of moral conflict, because to human vision the contending parties are so unequally matched. We entreat that this appeal may be considered a personal one to all whose eyes it shall reach. We conjure ydu, the dwellers throughout this broad country, to recognize an individual responsibility in this matter.

Look beyond the petty emotions and interests of a merely mundane or conventional life, and ask, if the question of your duty to three millions of slaves was not settled for you, by the fact that your birth-place was the United States. This cause has claims on all, but in an especial manner on those who, by the very circumstance of position, must be, if not its opponents, its abettors. We ask your sympathy, your money, your time and influence, and proffer a medium through which all may be successfully employed. Any information necessary to individuals or associations desiring to co-operate with us, may be obtained by application to any member of the undersigned Committee. Donations of money, or article or materials for manufacture, may be sent to any member of the Committee, directed to the Anti-Slavery Office, 21 Corn-hill, Boston, 142 Nassau street.

Senator Davis presented in Congress, a few days since, a memorial, signed by about fifty of the most wealthy and influential merchants of this city, representing an aggregate of over ten millions of property, praying a recognition of IInyti as an independent State. Thia they pray, in order that our commerce with that country may be put on an equal footing with that of other independent To show the importance of (hia commerce, the memorialists state, that the American tonnage employed in the trade with Hnyti in 1850, was 74,67 1 tons navigated by 3,504 American aeamen our exports to Ilayti that year were $1,350,188, while to China our exports were only $1,605,270, and employed only one half tho tonnage that Hayti did. The trade with Ilayti ranka the eighth in importance among all the foreign nations with which we have intercourse. She takes about one third as much of our pickled fish as all the rest of the world, and largely of our domestic and other manufactures; and her trade ia from thiee to six times more important to us than that of Cuba. Nor is it of value to New England alone, for Ilayti imports three times as much of our flour as Cuba, and six times as much pork, so that the South and West are alike interested.

It is idle to expect that such a memorial will be heeded while the Slave Power rules this country. The servile, soulless Washington correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, writing in regard to this memorial and Hayti, says mark, the language tW If the U. S. Government should recognize their independence, a commercial treaty would be made with them, thht would be very advantageous to our commerce and navigation. But I have no idea that Congress would listen to such a proposition, even if the alternative was a total loss of the trade.

lne Southern States would consider it, and properly too, as an encouragement to the revolt of the slaves in other islands. It is hoped that no more governments of this sort will arise in America, and there is no necessity for it. for there is room enough in Africa for the whole of the black race.

Important Invention. We have been much inter, ested in looking at an invention of Mr. Anthony Sher-mer, of the Northern Liberties, for window blinds for railroad designed not only to prevent dust from enterine. but to blow out what is in the cars. It con sists of vertical slats of glass, placed at an angle of rorty-hre degrees, in a frame-sash, and inclining outwardly.

The draught created by the motion of the train will blow off all dust, and make a current from the interior of the car sufficient to draw out whatever dust or foul air may have entered. The sash in which the glass slats are fixed is made to torn on a pivot, so that it may at once be adapted to a reversed motion of the train. The Pennsyloania Railroad Company are shortly to test the invention on one of their cars. rtuladelpfiia Bulletin. A New Nomination.

Anti- tSUitery' Demonstration. The gathering of thr old seho! anti-slavery men and women at Abfotoa4-ora the 5U, was Unprecedented in the annals of that Society.
