JAjNT 21. DAY. bright day grew brighter still, and the cultivated 1 plain mom beautiful, as I entered on my labors in the romantic Mystic Here lectured eight timer; is the Seventh Day Baptist church three times, in the cburch once, in the Baptist church, near the 'brUge 'once, in the Cradle of Liberty (a name bestowed Wpon th old-fashlouod and homely hall used as a "cuarch by a company of Rogerine Quakers) once, and in the Baptist church at the head of Mystic river twice. The contributions in this valley amounted Jo $10.00 'overall expensesmore titan half of which was con-stributed by the Seventh Day Baptists at their house. The pastor of this church is a free man, and maintains the principles of free investigation and free discussion to the fullest extent.

He was engaged in a public dis-eatsion last winter, in his church, through a aeries of evening, with a professed infidel and a strong man, 'upon the character and claims of Christianity, and the doctrine of immortality on which Christianity is based. iThe result was most salutary. So would be the result of free discussion through the whole world. Yet bnt few of our ministers would dare to try this crdeal. Hare they any faith in their professed views 1 The members of the aforesaid Quaker community, and the members of the Seventh Day Baptist church in Mystic, have opened the other churches by the stand they hare taken on this question of fife discuss" on.

The pastor of the latter body attended the meeting of the New England Anti-Slavery Convention last May, and spoke re-: peatedly and efficiently in the deliberations of that Con-Tendon. The discussion of the Sabbath question by the Seventh Day Baptists has been a powerful leaven in society in the Myitis valley. This discussion has led oth- ers to examine the question. The pastor of the Baptist ehuwh at the head of tlie river has preached on the subject, and taken the ground that the Sabbath ordi-" nance of tho Jewish dispensation is wholly done away by the more perfect law of Christianity; that there is titwAem ilnvs mnA win Btli1i bin TOWAlbl A a v. 1 Sabbath desecration.

And I see not how any man can consistently occupy any other position, unless he keeps the SabbatK appointed in the Decalogue as a memorial of the creation. That day is expressly designated as the seventh day of the week. And no change to the first day fe any where authorised in the Old or the New Testament. I have never been with the Seventh Day Bapti sts be- fore. I enjoyed my visit to them greatly.

I do not agree with them in the perpetuity of the Sabbath ordi- nance; but if I believed in a Sabbath day, I should fall back, as they do, on the Decalogue, and keep the Sev- enth Day. I honor their manly consistency and liberal conduct. Such a Sabbath as this Mystic church keeps i. a day devoted to the welfare of the whole broth- erhood had such a Sabbath been kept by the American people, it would have called out no concern or or Anti-Sabbath Convention from the earnest re- formers of this country. In connection with what has been said on free dis-1 eussion, it may be proper to relate a fact with regard to the course of the New York Independent.

Mr. wold related this fact while urging his friends to sub-' scribe for The Liberator, because it is a free paper, 1 and gives free thought a fair hearing in its columns, come from what quarter it may. Some time since, a discussion wa3 carried on in the Independent, on the question whether it was a desecration of the Sabbath for nersons living in Brooklyn to cross the ferry to New York to attend meeting on Sunday, and vice versa, re-specting the dwellers in the city of New York going to Brooklyn to meeting. Mr. Griswold wrote a letter to the Independent, asking if it would not be well to set-7 tie, ra the first place, the question as to the day which ought to be observed, affirming that the seventh day of the week was the only day set apart in the Bible as a Sabbath, and offering to show that the practice of the 1 Independent, in keeping the first day of the week as a Sabb-ith, was altogether unscriptural.

tfell, what was i the result The inttant suppression of the whole eussion The question which the Seventh Day Baptist wishes to discuss, with the Bible as the court of appeal, cannot be discussed in the Independent. Prove all things and hold fast the good, is a rule whicn is not often applied in the conduct of our American parties UUCUUnunt v. also, they who sit under the droppings of the sanctuary i -i tTmim n.v fMirnf inTPsrimtinn.

1 central home. War arose between our fathers and the Pequods, brought on by the injustice of the white man towards his red brother. An army was assembled, under Capt. Mason, for the destruction of the Indians. The Rev.

Thomas Hooker, a very distinguished clergy. 1 man of that period, addressed our troops when about to set forth on their bloody enterprise. Mark his. spirit, and contrast it with the spirit of the Prince of Peace, who came to seek and to save the lost: Fellow-soldiers, countrymen and said he, 4 you are this day assembled by the special providence of God, Your ravse is the causs of Heaven. The enemy have blasphemed your God and slain his servants.

You are only the ministers or justice, ne natrea oi your cne- my is inflamed. Their lips thirst for blood. They would devour you and all the people of God. Bnt, my braTe soldiers, their guilt has reached the clouds. They m're'ripefor destruction.

Their cruelty is notorious, There is nothing to prevent your certain victory but their nimble feet, their impenetrable swamps and woods. From these, your small numbers should entice them, or courage drive them. And now I put the question! who would not fiffht in such a canse You will secure the liberty, the privileges and the lives of Christ's church in this new world. You will procure safety for your at fectionate your prattling, smiling, harmless babes. You will secure all the blessings enjoyed by the people of God in the ordinances of the Gospel.

Distinguished was the honor conferred upon David for flgktine the battles of Vie Lord. This honor, ye courageous soldiers of God is now prepared for you You nolo execute His judgment on the heathen. You trill bind their kings in chains, and thtir nobles in fitters of iron. But perhapa some one may fear that some fatal arrow may deprive him of this honor. Let every faithful soldier of Jesus Christ be assured, that if he li taken away, it is merely because the honors cf this world are too narrow for his reward.

An ercr-' lasting crown-is set upon his head, because the rewards of th; life are insufficient. March then with Christian courage, in the strength of the Lord. March with faith Ja his divine promises. And soon your 'swords thall find your enemies, soon shall they fall like leaves of the forest under your feet. Well, these soldiers of God marched into this valley, and surrounding the Pequodfortat break of day, attacked it on all sides Being repelled, Capt.

Mason ordered the torch to be ap-: plied to the wigwams in all parts of the town. drawing his men back, they deliberately shot down and sabeed men, women and children, till the work of destruction was complete, and over four hundred the population of the- whole town miserably perished. A day tf general thanksgiving and praise was kept through New England, in view of this wonderful inter position of divine Providence in the cruel burning and slaughtering of over four hundred helpless savages, whose only crime was a love of their fathers homes, which led them to attempt to defend them from the grasp of the Christian white man. How very strange that tlie Indians of this country refused to be Christian bed! Miantinomo was an independent sachem of the great Naragansett tribe. He was one of tho noblest of the rly Indian chieftains of that doomed race.

In a battle with Uncas, a chief of the Mohegans, his bitter foe, Miantinomo was taken captive, ne was given np'to our Sabers in Boston. This was in 1643. The Got ernor and Council gave him up to the Congregational Association of iniuisters, then holding a session in Boa and: a DiuanT COXCtCPED. i ton', at which some fifty were They were to decide upon his fhteJ They appointed live "ministers to try' him. 1 Their decision was that Miantinomo was 'proud, turbulent, and restless, and what had they to do with him, if be was Were they meek, peaceful and patient men i Who gave them jurisdiction over an Independent sachem? and that he should be delivered up to Uncas, his savage foe, to be put to death in the presence of two soldiers who were to accompany the unfortunate man to the place of This was done.

The brother of Uncas, walking behind the Nar-ragansett chieftain, at a signal from Uncas, sunk his hatchet in the head of Miantinomo, and he fell according to the sentence of these Christian ministers. Uncas cut a piece of warm, quivering flesh from his fallen foe, and ate it with savage exultation, exclaiming, It is the sweetest morsel I ever tatted; it makes my heart Christian men preparing such a feast for the savage cannibal About the same time, forty-seven Pequods, captured in war, were sold into slavery. Still larger numbers were shipped off and sold in the West India Islands. And that is the kind of Christi-' anity which has planted and nourished, to its present gigantic growth, American slavery, the war' spirit, in- temperance, a godless commerce, and a most damnable prejudice against four millions of the citizens of thesa United States, becau-ie of their origin, condition and color. -The whole system is false, or such fruits could not come therefrom.

May we take Christ as our pat- tern, and toil on till we reform the world and establish 'the glorious, the universal Christian Brotherhood My new year's present to the anti-slavery cause, the result of this tour, is a collection, over all expenses, of more than twenty dollars, and four subscribers to The Liberator. May the generosity of the people enable your agents to bring many such gifts to the altar of Liberty and Love this new year Yours fraternally, DANIEL FOSTER. Jan. 12, 1853." i N. B.

I ought to allude to the Tisit of your agents, Mr. Ford and Miss Stoxe, to Mystic valley last spring. Their lectures made a deep-and abiding impression, as I discovered in going round among the people.1 The people of this valley are anxious to welcome them again, and listen to their anti-slavery teachings. They are also very anxious to hear Mr. Garrisox, and if he can ever go there, they will give him a reception which will make his heart glad.

D. F. BOARD OF FOREIGN MISSIONS. Framixgham, Jan. 9, 1853.

Garrisox Noble Friexd jf re there any slaves in this great and free country Have you not, for a quarter of a century, been fighting a phantom a man of straw Has it not been a night-mare dream of yours, that the hideous monster. Human Chattelism, has preyed up on the liberty, religion and morality of this na tion, until the skeleton of these noble attributes scarcely remains? Have you not been suffering from an attack of chronic dyspepsia and hypocondria I fancy your reply Would to God it were so If it were so, and there be any efficacy in Hydropathy, you would have been long ago cured, for you have had cold water enough thrown jon you and your efforts since 1828. I make these inquiries, because I have heard to-day the voice of the American Church, through one of its representatives in Boston, the Agent of the American Board of Foreign Missions. An abler advocate the Board could not easily find. In a comprehensive and attractive style, he portrayed to the minds of his hear ers the progress of this nation, in wealth and physical power, from Plymouth Rock to Californian gold show ing how God had hidden the Rock and the Gold from Papal Rome, and revealed them to Protestant Anglo- Saxon All this wealth and power were a trust in our hands from God not an end, but means wherewith to spread the Gospel over the world.

Africa, Asia, India, China, were enumerated as without the Three-fourths of the human beings on this earth were described as sinking into the because they had not the Bible, and knew not Christ. Home missions were not omitted. Oh, no The red man must be sought and brought to the light. The great West and the golden shores of the Pacific were spoken of as fields of labor for the American missiona ry. It was also plainly intimated that Papal influence, first established by French colonies between Canada and New Orleans, must fall before the sickle of the Ameri can Protestant Giurch.

But this eloquent preacher did not mention or allude, in any remote degree, to the heathen in South Carolina and other barbarous States of this Union. He groaned over the barbarism 6f Africa. He had not the faintest sigh for the American barbarity practised, before our wrv eves, on the sons and daushters of Africa. He read part of a hymn, omitting this stanza Oh, when shall Afric's sable sons J'njoy the heavenly word. And vassals long enslaved become The freemen of the Lord? From these facts I am led to infer one of four things, Either, 1.

There are no slaves in this land without the Bible and the Protestant right of 'private -without Christ; and that you have been under a life-long delusion or, 2. American slavery has been abolished since the issue of the last Liberator, (I think you would have mentioned the fact in that;) or, 3 The preacher is entirely ignorant of the existence of slavery didn't see the court-house chains the judges bow their necks to sit in judgment on God's freeman, and never heard how Thomas Sims was sent back to bondage or, 4. That the Boston Agent of the American Board of Foreign Missions, consciously, wil fully, wickedly ignored the heathenism of American slavery. That while he demanded the gospel for 750,000,000 of human beings in foreign lands, he deliberately cut off three and a half millions of fellow-men in our own land from Gospel light, and Eufiered them to sink into the without one word of ap peal in their behalf. When the Grand Duke cf Tuscany imprisons a man and his wife for reading the Bible, the clergy call mcet-inirs of svraoathy and remonstrance.

The Grand Dukes a of the South, the lords of the lasb, imprison, scourge, mutilate the colored man and hit wife, a million times and where is the voice of sympathy and remonstrance from the American clergy Here and there only a hero ic soul cries aloud for the dumb to meet only con tempt and excommunication from the abettors of Pro testant tyranny in America, and the opposers of Papal nnrion at Rome. What 'ails the slave, that the vrr Bible should thus be denied him that the American clergy should give him over to hell nas slavery veritably crushed the soul out of him, so that he can't be saved What, then, shall become of the oppressors who keep him in darkness Or has avarice and cowardice, self-righteousness and hypocrisy, so blinded the aforesaid Agent and his Church, that they cannot and "will not see in the victims of republican heathenism, Christ himself pleading to be owned He told us, to-day, that the rype of our national Christianity was especially adapted to missions so free from State shackles; while he acknowledged that the life was Tastly deficient. The Southern padlock upon his mouth hindered him from stating wherein most deficient. The cotton film over his eye, poor man, perhaps, prevented him from seeing too The American Board of Foreign Missions acknowledge, through their Aeent. that they are sending only 4 types' and forms of Christianity to the heathen.

Clear-eyed brother! you have seen this all along, and faithfully striven to infuse the life cf Christ into their hearts. Types' and forms' Why, suppose, every week, there had been sent out from your printing office the mere types and forms, without the living, glowing, truthful soul to give them intelligence, which, for more than twenty years, has constituted the life of The Liberator; where, think you, would have been the name of anti- slavery seal which now spreads over the land, trying the pure gold of principle, and burning up the dross of 1 compromise I Only a spark in a few faithful bosoms. I is OZUmSE tWAXTfO- The American Church is striving to spread the Gospel by publishing merely the types' and forms of Christianity." It does not possess the Jesus would never forget slavery in America he remembered heathenism in India. No wonder that Slavery, Bigamy and War are adopted children of such a Church. The sooner such type is pied, such forms broken, and newly distributed, to be set np by faithful and godly compositors, the better And now, my brother, in view of my experience today, and my knowledge "of ecclesiastical influence in this land, I thank God for every true though stern word you have uttered concerning the American Church.

Your God's-word has shaken it to its foundations. You need not my small voice to stimulate you to further efforts, until a Church shall rue on her ruins which will not ignore the slave, but will make him free." Yet, to relieve my own heart, I could not refrain from reminding you that her foot is still on his Let us remember, too, with encouragement, that she says, through her accredited agent, what we all feel is true, that she has only types, and forms' of Christianity to give to men and women- not even these poor baubles for the slaves. With ever new love and respect, Yours, H. O. S.

SUGGESTIONS OP CHHISTMAS DAY VISIT TO JOSEPH BA m. h'JJL Miixwoon, Knox (Ohio,) Dec 25, 1852.1 Dear Garrison This is Christmas day, set apart to celebrate the birth of Jesus. II.

It is true, few men have ever occupied the station oc cupied by Jesus in this world's history. Should future ages take what is now called Christendom as the true exponent of his spirit, his principles and life, no man destined to sink lower in the estimation of mankind; for they have linked his name to all that is false in principle, infernal in spirit, and inhuman in practice. But the name of Jesus, as one of this world's reformers, will yet be vindicated from the odium which bis professed disciples of the present and past have cast and are casting upon him. But it is a disgusting farce to see what are now called Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus.

It is pleasant to sit here, in a log cabin of the far West, and think of the manner in which those I love, and whose memories are so dear to me, are at this moment keeping Christmas. You are all gathered in Horticultural Hall, mingling your sympathies and anxieties for the oppressed of this land, accursed of God. This Republic rushes with fearful rapidity to its doom. The politics and religion of the country are rapidly assuming a Northern and Southern character and atti tude. National parties, to establish and perpetuate re- ligion, liberty or justice, are fast disappearing.

In all its great interests, in literature, commerce, religion, government, and social and domestic life, this nation, is fast resolving itself into two great parties, slavery being the sole dividing line; one party for it, the other against it. Certain I am, that in these Western States, this desirable end will, at no distant day, be gained. May the entire North soon calmly but firmly present to the South the great practical, inevitable issue, ABOLI TION or DISSOLUTION God grant this may soon become the watchword of the North No Uxiox with Slateholdebs It is the last stronghold of liberty on earth. What a stupendous mockery is a government so formed as to extend equal protection to slavery and liberty It is as monstrous as that religion which would incline our hearts to give equal reverence to a God of wrath and a God of love; to a God of vengeance and a God of forgiveness; to a God of war and a God of peace, and requires us to extend our love and fellow ship alike to slaveholders and non-slaveholders. Ohio, under her Democratic rule, is seeking to propitiate sla very.

She is now deliberating about expelling her col ored population from her borders, lhe Whigs, as a party, are annihilated as they deserve to be and they are now earnestly looking to a new organization, making slavery and liberty the great If they do, and work in earnest, the Democratic party would be short-lived in this State. I am in the happy home of Joseph and Frances Barker. They live here in love and peace, with their three children two sons and one daughter, the eldest twenty- one and the youngest seventeen. They have one of the finest farms in this region iw acres ana a more healthy situation could not be desired; an abundance of purest spring water flowing from two large springs close to their door, and an orchard that yielded this year over 850 bushels of apples. I wish you could hear the crowing of cocks, the cackling and clucking of hens, the quacking of ducks, and the harsh note of Guinea fowls.

Their log cabin is surrounded by some 200 chickens, a quantity of ducks, and lots of fat turkies; a fine flock of sheep, several horses and colts, a number of cows and young cattle, and a noble great dog, that goes out and in, watching over all in the cabin and out of it with Yankee care and Newfoundland dignity, Amid this rural scenery live Joseph and Frances Bar ker, with their children, in great comfort and plenty. I knew them and was with them amid persecution and obloquy, poverty and depression, endured for humanity's sake, in Newcastle on Tyne. Then they were hunted by sectarian priests and "bigots, and scarcely knew from day to day whence was to come their next meaL It docs me good to see them surrounded by comforts, earned by honest and beneficial industry in serv ing the cause of the oppressed; for if any man has served the cause of the toiling millions of England truly and perseveringly, amid poverty and misrepre sentation, that man is Jos tra Barker. He has not come here to luxuriate in idleness. Of all the acts of his life, none has touched my heart more deeply than that which has identified him with the cause of the American slave.

Joseph and Frances Barsxr, and their children, will not add one feather to the load that crushes the slaves and free colored people of this mock Republic. They will help to lighten that burden, to break the chain of and hasten its abolition or the dissolution of the Union. Dear Garrison, It is good to be here. The Spirit of God is here, so is liberty. I have been here three weeks.

It has been to my soul the house of God and the gate of heaven. I hope you will one day refresh and strength en your spirit in this happy and intelligent circle. leave to-morrow, and it will seem like going from home. May such family circles be multiplied The contest for Humanity deepens, uod sfees thr Right HENRY C. WRIGHT.

The people of our Village assembled at the Town Hall at an early hour on first day erening, 2d until some twelve or fifteen hundred had densely filled the room. At about seven o'clock, Sallie was introduced to this large and respectable audience by Dr. Aloricb.

fche commenced her lecture by readins a portion of Scripture from Matthew, showing most convincingly who will stand justified in the sight of God from their acts towards their fellow-man. This was made, in a great measure, the subject of her discourse, and a more attentive listening assembly I have rarely ever witnessed. I feel altogether inadequate to give even a faint description of the interest which pervaded the whole audience for an hour and a half during the lecture. Her allusions to the cause of the rise and fall of empires and nations was most graphic and philosophical, and uttered in language clear, concise and convincing. Application was then made from the past history of the world, and brought to bear upon our own times with a force of expression and energy of purpose which can be fully realized only by those who were present and listened (I had almost said) to her voice of inspiration.

Passing from this to the more special object of her lecturethe emancipation of her. enslaved brothers and sisters it would require the pen of a Parker or Macau-lay to do justice to her efforts to arouse her audience to a due sense of the horrible condition of more than three miQions of human beings, reduced to a state far below the brutes that' Suffice it to say, that the man or the woman who could listen unmoved to such a description of misery and wo as fell in angelic strains from her lips, must "be adamant at heart, and deaf to the supplications of the poor and the needy', and the down-trodden by the despots of the earth. Convictions of truth, justice and humanity, I hum- bly hope, were made on many minds, jnot soon to be id all erased and I believe the acclamation one and was and is, that we may again have the pleasure and delight of another visit from our dear friend, Si llie Hollet.

13, 1853. We have received a letter from our friend S. W. Wheeler, of Providence, highly commending two ad dresses delivered by Miss Hollet, in that city, last Sunday forenoon and evening but we have no room for it this week. Such testimonies, elicited wherever she is heard, must be very strengthening and encour aging to her.

She will lecture again in Providence, in Westminster Hall, on Sunday evening next. The Liberator. This faithful pioneer of the Anti- Slavery cause commenced its twenty-third volume with the new year, making its appearance, at the same time, in a new typographical dress. Commendation of this old war-scarred, heroic sheet would, on our part at least, be superfluous but we cannot withhold an expression of our heartfelt wish that a journal which has done and is doing so much to enlighten and elevate the human race, and especially to break the chains of the slave, may have the hearty support of earnest-minded and heart-devoted reformers of every class. Penn.

Freeman. The Liberator, the scarred and war-worn, yet none the less viarorous veteran of the anti-slavery crusade, enters upon its twenty-third volume in an entire new typographical dress, continuing its ever-remarkably neat appearance. We rejoice in its success. Though differing with its faithful editor as to the best policy to be pursued, we are not unmindful of his steadfast advocacy of the cause, nor of the powerful aid he has ever given "to the great reform. May he live till there is not a slave in the land Commonwealth.

The Liberator has just entered upon its twenty third volume, and dons a neat new dress. suppose it heretical to speak approvingly of this paper; but the truth is, there is no paper more free than The Liberator, and freedom is what we need. Blessings on the head of Garrison success to his Liberator Banner of tht Times. The Liberator comes to us in a new dress. There is scarcely a paper among our list of exchanges which we prize more highly than.

Mr. Garrison's. We often differ widely from it but it is honest, able, and to us exceedingly entertaining. Hartford Republican. The Liberator.

The last No. of The Liberator commences its twenty-third volume. And it makes its appearance printed on new type. And its Editor is better than new, for to his youthful zeal and devotion, is added his valuable experience. That it is uncompromising as ever with wrong, its readers very well know.

May their numbers be speedily multiplied by hundreds and thousands Anti-Slacery Bugle. The Liberator. This venerable Anti-Slavery Journal, the pioneer sheet of our beneficent enterprise, comes to us this week in a new dress, having now reached the commencement of its 23d volume. Its veteran Editor fronts the battle as gallantly as ever, firm and fearless, buoyant and hopeful, yet calm and unwearying, amid all the trying vicissitudes of the conflict. We rejoice at his prosperity, and take courage from his noble example of truth, fairness and fidelity.

Differing from The Liberator as to the duty of voting, we desire nevertheless to imitate it, according to the measure of our ability, in its uncompromising hostility to slavery, prejudice against color, and every influence in Church or State, atThome or abroad, which serves to perpetuate their inhuman reign. Frederick Douglass's Paper. The Liberator. This scarred and veteran paper comes to us this week in an entire new and beautiful dress an index of prosperity most richly earned. The Liberator is the most independent paper in the world.

Though conducting the anti-slavery warfare in a different manner from that of Mr. Garrison, we have never failed to appreciate the dauntless courage, ability, and uncompromising fidelity with which he has maintained the strife. Greylock Sentinel. Pnor. Allex's Lectcre.

The first lecture of the series was delivered before the Literary Association of this village, by ProC W. G. Allen, of McGrawville College. His subject was, The great men of a nation are a nation's vitality, which he illustrated by refer ence to distinguished statesmen, patriots and reformers, occasionally bringing in a touch of the radicalism peculiar to that class of men with whom the gentleman acts, and giving the conservatism of the day some rather severe hits. However much we may dissent from some portions of the lecture, we must concede that the sub- ject was treated with remarkable ability, and that the lecturer fully sustained his reputation as a gentleman of talent and education, lie has a good voice, and speaks moderately and distinctly, yet with sufficient animation to secure the attention of his audience.

We regret that we cannot notice the lecture more at length the crowded state of our columns prevents us from so doing. Cortland Democrat. Prof. Allex is spending his vacation in Boston, and has lectured to very great acceptance in various places last Sunday evening at Salem. He is a colored gentleman, of cultivated mind and.

true refinement of manners, and wins respect wherever he is known. He deserves, and we hope will secure, a crowded audience whenever he is advertised to lecture. A NEW TAPER.

STrLL)3 GASH We most cordially endorse the following certifi cate, and commend Peter Still to the benevolent, BosTOX, Jan. 3, 1853. The bearer, Peter Still, was kidnapped, in early childhood, on the borders of Delaware river, in New Jersey, and carried tlienee to Kentucky, and subse quently to Alabama. After being held in slavery more than forty years, he succeeded in purchasing his freedom; and being obliged consequently by the laws of Al abama to leave that state, he came north to Philadel phia, where, by a singular coincidence, he became ac quainted with his brother and the family from which he had been so long severed. He has left a wife and three children in slavery in Alabama, whom he naturally and ardently desires to bring into freedom and have with him at the North.

For this purpose, he now appeals to the sympathy of the benevolent for such pecuniary aid as they may be disposed to give him. We, the undersigned, have carefully examined his letters and papers, and have obtained some knowledge of him from other sources. From this examination, we are satisfied that his story is true in all its pi.rticuk.rs; that he is himself a worthy and virtuous man, whose extraordinary history gives him a strong and peculiar claim upon the public sympathy and aid. Any contributions for the object above named may Xxs forwarded to any of us. s.

The Rescue Trials. These harassing trials are to come off in Albany, on the 25th January. The government seems determined to do its worst to ruin the alleged rescuers of Jerry, and will, doubtless, make a desperate effort to convict them of the so-called crime.

The occasion will be a deeply interesting one, and will probably attract a large gathering of the friends of jus tice to Albany, uebrit smith is retained as counsel for the rescuers, with others learned in the law. It will be worth a journey of many hundred miles to be present, and, if possible, we shall be there. Douglass's Paper.
