33. BOSTON, FRIDAY; AUGUST 19, 1853. AVHOLE NUMBER 1176. SELECTIONS. EUtTESSIOCT OF THE SOUTH FBOM TILE NORTH.

The anniversary of West India Emancipation was celebrated in mass meeting at Flushing, (Long Island,) on the 4 th of August, under the auspices of the New York City Anti-Slavery Society. The meeting having been addressed by William Lloyd Garrison, he was followed by Mrs. Erxe3tink L. Rose, who said Friends I can hardly leave this place without raising my voice in unison, with those who havo spoken here. Indeed, tho exercises of- this celebration would nut appear to me complete, without having woman raise her voico in this great and noble cause (applause) for when has any good ciuso been effected without her co-operation We have been told, to-day, that it was a woman that agitated Great ISritain to its very centre, before emancipation could Ik? effected, in her colonies.

Woman must go liand in hand with man in every great and noMe cause, if success would be insured. I lve to attend )inn anniversaries I think the eff-'ct is very beneficial. Many such are celebrated in this country. New England celebrates the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, and well she may for when those Pilgrim Fathers left their native it was to obtain that civil and religious freedom which was denied thent in the mother country; and in so far as the same free-. dom is desirable for all, it is perfectly right and proper that their descendants should keep the anniversaries of the landing of their ancestors.

Thousands attend these anniversaries, I doubt not, with joyful hearts and grateful memories and though I am not myself an American by birth, and have never had the pleasure of attending such an anniversary, yet my heart is always wkh those who do, for they hail a day of freedom. But there are other anniversaries kept in this country, one of which I presume you all love to celebrate and that is the anniversary of tho Declaration of Independence. That great and glorious day did not create, but gave to the world' a great truth that all men are bora free and equal, and are therefore entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. My heart always rejoices in that day. and I shall never forget the emotions I felt when first witnessed its celebration in this country.

It eeemed to me as if the sun shone brighter, the birds sang sweeter, the grass grow greener. Everything ia nature seemed transformed from deformity to beauty. Ah, were only that great, noble truth of the. Declaration of Ijdependence carried out, as it ought to be, there would be no need of our meeting here to-day. (Applause.) Then indeed might we all reioice when the Fourth of July arrives.

But whether it is carried out or not, the truth remains the same. Alas that it should come up in judgment before this great nation But though I rejoice when that great day comes round, I cannot help contrasting, as I sit here to-day, the which that commemorates with the one which we are met to-day to commemorate. All ray feelings and principles are republican I may say I am a republican by nature but in comparison to the liberation of 800,000 slaves, the Declaration of Independence falls into utter insignificance. (Applause.) It falls short, just as theory falls short of practice. (Applause.) There is almost an immeasurable distance between the two.

Tho one was the utterance of a great truth, that will last forever the other was a practical application of it. How different the results the Declaration of Independence has it yet abolished Slavery But the great act of the emancipation of 800,000 human beings has shown to the world that the Afri-- can race are not only capable of taking care of themselves, but are capable of enjoying peacefully 4s much liberty and as much freedom as the white men. Thus it has done far more towards the cause of freedom towards emancipation from all kinds of slavery than the Declaration of Inde- E-ndenco did. For In spite of that eclaration in sadness and sorrow do I say it the United States of America'are guilty of outrage and recreancy to their own principles in retain-in slavery; while Great Britain, without that Declaration, having yet a great deal of oppression and tyranny in her midst, has shown a noble example to the world in emancipating all her chattel slaves. 1 It is utterly impossible for us, as finite beings, with the utmost stretch of the imagination, to conceive the depth and immensity of the horrors of slavery.

1 would that, instead of speaking and listening to day, we could all sit down in perfect silence, and each and every one of us ask ourselves what is it to be a slave what is it to emancipate eight hundred thousand slaves Wo have the evil among us we see it daily and hourly before us we have become accustomed to it; we talk about it; but do we comprehend it do we realize it r.r:t i be your own, bodily, mentally, or inorallv that is to he a slave. Ay, even if slaveholders treated their slaves with 'the utmost kindness and chari-iy if I were told they kept them sitting on a sofa all day, and fed them with the best of the land, it is none the less slavery (applause) for what does slavery mean? To work hard, to fare ill, to that is not slavery; for many of us white men and women hare to work hard, hare to fare ill, have to suffer hardship, and yet we are not slaves. Slavery is, not. to belong to yourself to le robbed of yourself. There is nothing that I so much abhor as that single thing to be robbed of one's self.

Wo are our own legitimate masters. Kuhi.ik i wif AMufiul tii'il' fu.i anjl fill trn a TlfttlirA has created man free as the air of heaven. The black man and the white man are equally the children of nature. The same mother earth has created us all the same life pervades all the same ipirit ought to animate all. Slavery deprives us of ourselves.

The slave has no power to say, I will go here, or I will go The slave can-ot My wife, my husband, or my He doesno't belong to himself, and of course cannot cUiui anything whatever as his own. This is the eTeat abomination of slavery, that' it deprives a an of the common rights of humanity, stamped upon, biin by bis Maker. Not being a native of this country, I have probably had some different ideas with regard to the workings of slavery from what many abolitionists hafe, I do not belong to any abolition Society, ny friend by my side said ho was compelled to Moog to the Garrisonian Society (laughter); with my whole heart, mind and soul, I bless, him for having been the great and noblo voice of humanity to this country for emancipation. (Ap-PUuie.) I go for emancipation of all kinds white aod black, man and woman. Humanity's are.

A ins Humanity, tho great mother of has thrown around us ties, sympathies and feelings which are more endearing, more effectual, and more noble, than any other that have ever bound man to man. Our friend who has addressed you to-day, has mentioned the fact that the opposersof emancipation are fearful that the South will not trade with the North.

No greater folly was ever conceived. The South forsake the North What will they Six years ago, I was in Columbia, S. C. A senator, returning from Washington, made a speech there, in which he talked a great deal about Abolitionists and Disunion! ts of the -North. A young lawyer, who boarded at the same hotel where I stopped, came home full of these ideas, and com menced a conversation with me on the subject of slavery and he was so full, that he could scarcely find time to express his indignation.

We don't want the said hc we are independent of the North, and we can afford to dissolve the Union I let him go on for some time, for I knew he would run himself out. (Laughter.) After he had done so, I told him I did not wish to have the Union dissolved I would like to stick to you, because you need us. (Laughter.) I then asked him, Wherein could you be independent of the North Who are your teachers and professors? Northern men. Who weave your cloth and bedeck you Northern laborers. Who grow much of the food that nourishes you? Northern men." (Indeed, S3 greatly impoverished is the land in th South; that it i a positive fact, that I onee saw a cow held up while Bne was fed.) (Great laughter.) Jnst remember, my dear said 1 that from your head to'j feet, you were maou- (Laughter.

From him who first taught yuu jour alphabet, to the professor 'who gave the finish to your education, and taught vou to make black ap pear white, they were all JNorthern men. Nevertheless, I don't want to see the Union dissolved for as long as we are united, we have an influence over you indeed, you stand so greatly in need ot us, that 1 should be very sorry to laave you. (Laughter.) Mrs. It. here made an appeal in behalf of the prin ciple of refusing to consume slave products, believing it would have a great tendency to abolish Slavery.

Not being able to find a market for their products, the slaveholders would have either to go to work to feed their slaves or free them. And as for working, there was an entire inability on the part of the slaveholder. He was a poor, miserable, 1 i A. -1 'lL 11 inactive, lazy, unioriunace creature, ami wnu uii her heart and soul she pitied him. (Laughter.) When I first stepped on slave soil, said she, I read the curse of Slavery upon it.

A gentleman onee asked me at the South, vhat I thought, on the whole, of South Carolina. I told him I am sor ry to say that you aro a century, at least, behind the means ot (Laughter.) tie wanted to know why I thought so. I said 4 The only civilization you have exists among your slaves 1 it lUr it lnaustry unu mu mucuauicai aria arc me great criterion of civilization, (and I believe they are,) then certainly the slaves are the only civilize ed ones among you, because they do all the work. (Laughter.) (in Charleston, and Columbia, a. tho slaves are painters, glaziers, carpenters and masons in fact, all the trades are filled with slaves.

The owners cannot do any kind of manual labor, because it is disgraceful, so that everything is done by slaves.) lie told me I had to thank my stars lor being a woman. (Laughter.) 1 said I always thanked my stars for being a woman, (renewed laughter,) but I wanted to know wherein I had to thank my stars in that particular instance. Said he, Our State has made provision for many cases, but not for all. For instance when we catch a good Abolitionist, we give him a coat of tar and (Laughter.) I then told hi in that, as for me, I was an Abolitionist in the fullest sense of the word, (applause,) and be I a woman or not, said you are so exceedingly lazy and inactive here, that it would be an act of charity to give you something to do, were it even to give mo a coat of tar and feathers. (Great laughter and applause.) To say that he was enraged would express no idea whatever.

(Laughter.) lhen 1 said to him, 31y ar sir, you have to thank yourself for this alter cation: I did not begin it; 1 knew your weak spot, and did not wish to touch it. (Laughter.) You thought that I would be a coward and recreant to my sentiments. I tell you, sir, that if I had never been an Abolitionist before, I would have become ono here, and you would hare helped to make me (Applause.) Let a Northern man or woman go to the South, and the moment they touch the slave soil, they are looked upon as if they had come prepared to steal negroes, and they never will let you alone, no matter how silent you may be they will commence to draw you out and discover wnat rour principles are. And it is a shame to acknow-edge it, they find too many cowards from the North, who are recreant to ineir own principles onu uav- mg succeeded so many times with persons ot this character, they think they can always succeed. They think that, for the sake of getting into society i i i xi i i i ii ana oein; puiromseu uy uie iiijriierciussvw, you win say, yes, your institutions are the best that can possibly be tor your, portion ot tue union.

It has always appeared to mo to be tho greatest error and absurdity to suppose that the South is ever going to forsake the North. Where are they to go It was a sheer political trick, raised for the purpose of making political capital, our politicians in 1S50 raised the cry which (look ing at. the reporters present) of course the newspapers had. to echo (laughter) that the Union was in danger. There was not a man of sound sense in the South, I venture to say and there are many such that believed it for a moment.

It was got up by political gamblers of both sections for the tMirpose of makiug capital. If you could only estimate the immense injury that Slavery does, not only to the South, but to the -North in fact, the whole world you. would aay, 'Leave us, if you will we will willingly give you a passport, if you will riJ us of the Our friend Garrison has repeated to us the many lt blessings resulting irom uprigns acwons. iea, every act brings its own reward or its own punish-mnt. r.v(r imod act ti reduces its own correspond ing reward, and every bad act its corresponding punishment.

'Mr. Fillmore made him a Chaplain in the Navy, at an annual compensation of $1,500, for which he did not preach a single sermon, or do any other duty during the years ne held the office, except very regularly to draw the pay This is the first instance in the history of the Government of the United States, in which, office has been utterly and wholly a sinecure.1 We find the above paragraph in the JJliax Daily Gazette, without one word of defence or explanation in behalf of the Rev.

But now there is no more fat advertising By from Washington, and tho Gazette eehoes the sneers of those who despiso the efforts of Dr. Orville Dewey for receiving $1,500 a year from the Gancral Government, which he rendered no sorvices.

If the secrets of the Public Departments at Washington were revealed, it" would bo found, we fear, that many others, besides Rev. Dr. Dewey, prostituted their calling and position to the use of the Slave Power for a consideration. Raman Citiztnl 'r CorRTESfES of Debate. 'The other day, in the Convention, while the subject of Harvard University was under consideration, Rev.

Mr. Braman, of Danrers, wandered out of his course of remark for the purposj, as it seemad, of attempting a little ridicule upon those who had petitioned for the enfranchisement of womjn. In this purpose, he alluded to Mr. Lucy Stone and Miss Wendell Phillips' a slur unbecoming alike one of his cloth and the body of which he is a member. II n.

Rodney French, of Bodford, however, promptly noticed the affront, and, liko a truo. gentleman, re- plie'd in the following terms I regret, sir, that any jintlcman upon this floor, any m3iu'oor of this Conveution, should undertake to hold up to ridicule tuo laay and gentleman wno had the honor of appearing bafora the Committee on the Qualification of Voters but they need no defender in me for if that lady and that gentle- man wore here, and had an opportunity of defend- ing themselves, I run no risk in saying that no membor of this Convention would envy of the delegate from Danvors, who so irrever ently attacked them. There are gantlemen whoso position enables them to say what they please, in many places, and no reply can be made. It is not so here. Let me say through you, sir, therefore, to that gentleman, that although he may slander and hold them up to ridicule, and attempt to excite themirthof this bodyby saying "Mr.

Lucy Stone" and Miss Wendell Thillips, he is powerless to reproach them. In a speech before the same Convention, respect ing the government of Harvard University, Hon. Ienry Wilson, referring to Prof. Bowen, the sym pathizer with Austria as against Hungary, said 1 Smarting under Mrs. Putnam's exposure of his gross ignorance, falsifications and he came out in two rejoinders in tne ioston uauy Advertiser.

Braman) was reserved the high honor of originating that feebje sneer at a woman. It is probable that the tone and temper exhibited toward Mrs. Putnam by Bowen, in his replies, may have won for him the admiration and support of the member from Danvers. A fellow feeling makes us wondrous Bowen will be highly gratified to learn that there is another man in Massachusetts and he a member of this Convention capable of offering an insult to a woman. Tnonirn Titiv nnv Ol.D A TOonc woman of neat appearance, by the name of Eoenora Taylor, arrived here on riday, Sth on the Undorjrround Lxpress train Irom wneenng, with her infant, a child of two months.

She wishes to say to-her old master, Mr. Joseph 31. liush field, that she did not fancy the arrangements he was making to send her off to the cotton plantations of the far'South, in the hands of Parker Campbell, a soul driver, who was prowling about Wheeling. She is now happy and contented on the free soil of Canada, exercising a parental care over her darling infant, who was to be torn from her by the same arrangements, and sold to another person. By her timely departure, she feels happy that she has relieved Mr.

Bushfield of the trouble of thus disposing of herself and offspring, as well as the necessity of any longer taking care of her, for she has no doubt or her competency to take care of herself for the future under the protection of the British Lion. Voice of the i si From Oid Kmvcx We are happy to announce the arrival of eight females by the last train of the Underground Railroad from Kentucky. They are all one family consisting of a mother and her daughters the mother brought an infant in her arms also. It has scarcely ever been our lot to witness such a respectable and intelligent family of females from slavery, and if we are not much mistaken by appearances, they will be an ornament in the future to our social circle in Canada. Too much credit cannot be awarded to the igilant attention of the Underground Railroad agents, ia facilitating tho passage of those defenceless refugees, especially in the State of Michigan.

Much credit is- also due the benevolent ladies, (the Lord bless them) the wires, daughters and sisters of the Stockholders, Conductors and Engineers of this railroad, for their timely aid in supplying the wants of their escaping sisters, particularly tho ladies of Ypsilanti, Adrian and Coldwater, ia the State of Michigan, where articles of apparel, money, Jbc, were furnished by them to these fugitives. We would here remark in this connexion, that the only phaso of clothe donations, that is advisable or tolerable, is under these circumstances, where such things are furnished to the fugitives themselves, by the donors, whilst on the road to Canada. This insures the reception of the articles by the proper persons, as well as a satisfactory distribution of the game. And it would be a decided benefit to our people in Canada, if philanthropists in the States would reserve such articles to distribute, the wayfaring fugitive, instead of sending them to Canada, to be a bone of contention to mar the peace, and happiness, and future welfare the colored people in this Province. Will our friends please tike proper notice, and govern themselves accordingly P.

An interesting family, consisting of five persons, arrived here on the cars of the Underground railroad a few weeks since from Kentucky. They were owned by a rich slave trader of Kentncky.

Amongst his slaves there was one favorite family, whom he considered trustworthy. The man-servant was a barber by trade, and was allowed to carry on his business in Louisville, Ky. when he was not otherwise engaged in attending to other business for his master. He was frequently sent to Cincinnati, Ohio, by his master, to transact business. At length the master permitted a little daughter of this valuable man-servant to go to Cincinnati, on a visit at his request but as she did not return at the appointed time, the father became quite uneasy about her, and prevailed on the master to let his wife, who was also the child's mother, go after her so she was given a written permit by her master, and allowed to take with her two of her youngest children to Cincinnati, under a promise that she was to return within a few days.

But the time expired and she failed to return, which caused no little uneasiness on; the part of both master and husband. The husband told the master that ha knew that she must be sick, and be was satisfied that nothing shorter than sickness or death would have detained her so long, and that he had better let him go and bring thorn all home. This reposition was readily acceded to, and the hus-and was fitted out with a written passport to Cin cinnati, for his wife and children. But when he reached Cincinnati, he learned that they had start ed on their way to Canada, where colored men are free and he, of course, had to follow them but never overtook the family until they had cross ed the American line, which immediately absolved the lesil relation between master and slave.

So they plunged in and struck out boldly, buffettin the swells which the paddles made. It was a hard task, and one of them would have gone down, bad not the other helped him as Cassius did Caesar in the Tiber but they made the shore i i and turned toward tiancinnau, wnne ine sleeping Haley kept on down the river, unconscious of the theft (which in the opinion of our contemporary is a villaoy of the most atrocious character.)

This TJ. G. Railroad deserves a puff from our press. It is enlarging its business every day and the value of freight, ia already immense. The capital is ample and the dividends large and what is most wonderful, it has never lost a passenger in all the Northwest, since the passage of the law of 1850, by which its importance was so much enhanced.

When it is remembered how many rail-rood accidents there have been within six months si past, it is certainly greatly to the credit of the management of this useful line, that it has not lost a. passenger in three years.

The Cincinnati Christian Advocate states that the slave arrested at Indianapolis, and sworn to as a has been proved to be free by very affecting proof.

The trial, it -will be remembered, was postponed sixty days, -to enable Freeman, the alleged slave, to send to his former residence to obtain proof of his freedom. His attorney went to Georgia, and thera found a venerable man named Patillo, who once owned and liberated Freeman. Not content wh simply giving testimony to this fact, the generous man insisted upon going to Indiana, and bearing his personal testimony in the poor man's favor. He was introduced to Freeman, who knew nothing of his presence. When asked if he knew Mr.

Patillo, he raised his eyes, and looked full in the faco Of his noble benefactor, and then calling his name and grasping his hand, the poor prisoner wept aloud. The good old man was completely overcome. All present were deeply affected at this affectionate recognition, and all were glad this fraudulent and desperate attempt to rob this man of himself had so gloriously failed. Mr. Patillo talked some time with Freeman.

All present were perfectly satisfied that the man was free. His persecutors ought to be severely punished for perjury and kidnapping.

The action is brought under a State law, which prohibits lotteries, and declares all prizes disposed of by means of them forfeited to the State; and the Attorney General appears to hold in his petition that a raffle is a lottery. The statute admits of a prosecution, either by criminal information or by a civil process.

Mr. Thayer an American clergyman, written within the Austrian dominions I will give you a little idea of the watchful way in which they manage all foreigners, in this land of passports and police. -When you enter a place, your passport is taken from you, the hour at which you entered the gate of the city is noted on it, and it is deposited at the police office, where it must remain until you leave. You then receive a certificate, allowing you to stay twenty-four hours, and before, that time expires, you must appear at the police office, and obtain another paper, which gives you permission to remain a certain number of days or weeks.

1 When you leave the place, you must go again to the police, and obtain permission, and have your passport vized and if you stay twenty-four hours after this, the vise runs and you must have it all done over again. If you want to go out of the city, to visit a neighboring town, you are obliged, in some places, to get leave of the police, and have your passport vised, and if you afterwards wish to go -from that place on your journey, you are obliged to go back again, thirty or forty miles, to get permission and another vize to the passport. When you enter a city, you are required to inform the police how long you intend to stay at what hotel you stop, and if you change your hotel, must give notice of your whereabouts. When you reach your hotel, you are required to sign a certificate, giving your name, age, -profession or business, the place or country of your birth, the city or town from which you came last, and the city or place you are going to when you leave and you must go the route you name, and to that particular city or place, however much you may wish to change it afterwards.

Dr. Ross, says in the Advertiser of that city, of the puerile-' resolutions of the new school Presbyterian General Assembly on Slavery, The resolutions which were passed by a minority the number which originally met, and after that origiaal, number had given the whole thing the go-by, will not express the mind of the Assembly. Besides, the whole thing was intended to be nothing but a bag of wind. I hope, therefore, the South will be steady, and sot feel the least concern from this agitation.

Besides, they are vulnerable' you can bust 'em. And when confined gas does escape, it smells bad. And the remembranoe ia any thing but fragrant.

For these and, other: philosophical reasons, we don't anticipate, with much confidence, the success of the Presbyterian enterprise of taming down abolitionism with a wind bag. One thing is secured, however, a proper name' for the windy exhalations of the ecclesiastic gas ometers of America.

We speak of this from the feeling that is known to exist among our citizens generally. There is no law to these rejoicers in mob violence to overthrow, law.

And under the existing state of things, we suggest that it may be well for Dr. W. to consider the disgrace that will attach to his Hall, if he permits -these black banner rowdies to occupy it, to say nothing of other unfavorable circumstances that may occur.

The Wilmington (N. Jaurn-' al states that there is an old negro in the county of Sampson, belonging to a Mr. Williamson, who was one hundred and fourteen years old on the bast 4th of July. He has been recently, visited by, a correspondent of the Journal, who states that ho found him cheerful and in fine and busily' engaged in making himself a pair of pants without spectacles he being a tailor by trade. His first master, Archibald Bell, died about ninety-eight years ago, at which time Delph was thirteen years of age.

He remembers seeing Lord Cornwall is and his army, as well as other persons and things of note in those early days. He was taken prisoner near the residence of William Fryer. He saw the Tories kill John Thompson he (Thompson) lingering some three days. The old fellow lived by bim-r self, not another soul being near him he is tort of doctor, and-travels as much as fifty miles to see" sick persons, and many persons visit him for medical aid. He cooks, washes, milks, and makes his own clothes, in a very independent manner.

Ilis present Mr. is seventy-four, and therefore an old man to the rest of the world, but quite a youth in comparison to There "is little reason for doubting the old negro 'a age, of which he himself is confident, besides having been known in Sampson from time immemorial almost.
