36 POETRY For tho Liberator. REMEMBER THE SLAVE. Ediths The following original stanzas are taken front the AKmh of a friend. They were written by one or the tost devoted anti-slavery women in Massachusetts. Jlnwier I Amsj lAer so, as "'d While life is bright before thee, And a happy heart is thine, While a cloudlet sky i o'er thee.

Clear, beautiful, benign Oh remember those in bonds, as thou Wert shackled with them even now. When mingling with the gay. The happy and the free, And the time flies swift away, To return no more to thee Plead for the thoo with him wert bound By chains that clasp his soul and body round. When on the bended knee, Before the throne of grace, Thy silent prayer goes free To the heavenly dwelling-place Pray for the slave, as thou didst groan beneath The stripes that goad from infancy to death. Jn youth or in decline, In sorrow or in joy, When lonely thoughts are thine, Or prayers thy mind employ Oh remember those in bonds, as thou Wert shackled with them even now.

E. B. Fall River, 1839. From the Pateraon Intelligencer. THE STORM SPIRIT'S TALE OF THE LEX INGTON.

BV RKV. CHARLES W. DENISO. I saw her loose in the anchored bay, And proudly steer on her wintry way, Her banners flung on the eastern gale, Like a living thing that might never quail. I saw her sweep by the ships and shore.

With her dashing wheels and her fiery roar. And the landsmen said as. she flitted by, Though she hath not wings she doth almost fly. I saw her out on tbe heaving sound. And she leapt a score of waves at a bound; And on as she sprang, the shores grew dim, And the light-house rose with its distant glim.

I saw her mass to the eabias crowd, And their step was free, and their laugh was loud; And they cried, a they heard and felt the boat, How swiftly and gaily we onward float I saw a cloud from the deck arise. And quietly soar to the evening skies 'Twas a little cloud, as loft it sped, But a larger came and beneath it spread And they grew, and uprolled on the nightly sir. Till the flame burst forth with a frightful glare And oh what a sight did I sec there, then, 'Mid the crowd of children, women and men What sounds I heard, in that fearful hour. When fire and frost were in sovereign power For before was a grave of consuming heat, And a freezing tomb was beneath their feet. Their step was bound, and their laugh was still, And the blood in their hearts grew clammy and chill And they shrieked, Ho help till their voice fell To rise no more in the rolling swell.

They threw them down by star-light, To toss in the sea for repose that night Twas tbe bed of death 'twas the couch of waves And their sleep was the sleep of old ocean's graves. I saw Beauty there, o'er the sleety tide, And aba wept as a Jarvis laid down and died And Freedom groaned from her bleeding breast, As Follek sank into the deep to rest. But who can tell what I heard and saw That night of the elements' terrible war; When red flame and hoar flood their weapons drew, And a hundred souls were the prize in view Good God to Thee, and to Thee alone. That tale of carnage is fully known To Th we bow to Thee wo pray For grace 'till the all-revealing Way. THE RAILrROAP LOCOMOTIVE, 0 JR9S According to tie Knickerbocker, has just began, its career Bat not alone on the stormy sea, Not alone through the vales of the northern dime, Where he travels now so gloriously, Shall hie destined path in the future be He shall cross the Alp am! the Appeniua, His voice shall be heard by the winding Rhine; Bv the fallen fanes of the olden time He shall send the roar of his rolling car, Through the wide domains of the norther czar Through Sannatia's wilds, and the Switzer'a snows, And along the vales where the Danube flows Where the Moslem hears the Muezzin's cry, To prayer to prayer he ehall hurtle by Where the deep blue heaven- of Asia smiles, O'er her storied plains and countless isles, And the flowers that breathe in the balmy air, Are bright as the pearls that are shining there Where the Afric sun pours his scorching beams Where the Pharaohs, in their kingly pride Were rolled by night in the Red Sea's tide, 'Neath the palm trees' boughs, tbe banyan's shade.

His iron path-way shall yet be laid. On oar mountain ridges his' chariots gleam, He follows the track of the winding stream He will carry us forth from our early homes, To the fairy scenes of glowing West, -Where the Father of Waters in grandeur roams, Through broad savannahs in verdure drest. Away! away! with his ceaseless roar, The valley and stream he will hasten o'er Away away where the prairie lies, Like an emerald sea, 'neath the fair blue skies. With nought in view save tbe waving grass. The flowers that bend as his chariots pass.

And in black and fearful host afar, The countless herd of the buffalo, That start at the gleam of his shining car, And away, loud bellowing and thundering go'. With a speed that no foot of the deer can surpass. The prairie-horses shall toss the Tear the ground with their hoofs, and neigh aloud, When this stranger-steed o'er their free domain, Comes rushing on like a flying cloud Bat he heeds them not, as he onward speeds, With a tread as loud as a thousand steeds. A sound shall be heard through the mountain caves, A sound, through tbe gloom of the pathless glen. Like the hollow murmur of breaking waves, Or the measured tramping of mail-clad men 'Tie' tbe Iaos Hoasx he bath passed the bound Of the wild sierras that fenced him round He bath bo more on the land to gain.

His path is free to the western main PRAYER. Give bm, oh God, the power and will To do to ethers as I still Would they should do to ue. Give me a conscience free from guile Teacn me on earthly things to smile. And turn my heart to Thee. 7fceiw I have erred.

Error. Corrected-. Br. Garrison I tun persuided that you will do me the justice to give the following an insertion in your next paper. It is to be regretted that any of our discussions should be characterized by misrepresentation.

A considerable portion of Mr. Ballou's Reply to me is based on a gross misconstruction of my words, as odious in my view as it can be in his. In my brief review of his address, in order to bring the true point at issue before the mind of the reader. I stated several points in which the advocates and of human government agree. Among laese.

1 remarked. coruiauv untie iu wu brethren in declaring 44 We ouffht to obey God, rath' er than" men." It is fully admitted and zealously maintained by us all, that 44 human government, properly so called, can in no case be cither superior to, or co-equal with the divine." (A quotation from Mr. If any human statute violates one that is divine, we are not to hesitate a moment We must resist it unto death meaning, obviously, that we must rather suffer death, like the martyrs, than disobey God. 1 then proceed to remark 4 We are also agreed, that, clearly showing that I was stating not my own sentiments stmply, or the sentiments of those who agree with me in respect to human government, but also the sentiments of Mr. B.

and of those who ac cord with him. The apostle, reminding his persecu ted brethren that they had not yet suffered- as their Master, says, Ye have not yet resisted unto blood? e. unto vour own death, lieb. 12. 4 I used the phrase, trie must resist it e.

the human statute which violates God's law) unto death! the same sense. We must be like the ancient believers, who loved not their lives unto the death? Rev. 12. 11. Now, in the name of common sense snd charity, I ask how is this a platform of rebellion to government, broad enough for all the religious revolution-jsts that ever figured in any age or nation How is this, as my accuser declares, making physical resistance, open insurrection, rebellion and revolution by sword and death, the positive duty of christians in certain cases Why, I ask further, if he so understood me, did he not complain of my false representation of his ottm sentiments I protest against his unwarrantable comment, and reject it with abhorrence.

But this is not all. In connection with my remark in relation to the duty of passive resistance unto death, Mr. B. quotes my remark, It is civil government and not the abuses of it, that we Then, because 1 will not advocate evil in government, he, very logically and candidly, infers that I will oppose it, sword in Because I would oppose 4 abuses by ra-'tional and moral argumentation, I am to be associated with the 'Fifth Monarchy who set themselves up, sword in hand, (as the saints prophesied of by Daniel,) to put down all abuses He might as well say that, because I will not advocate the abuses in the christian church, therefore I am another Guy Fawkes, ready to blow up with gunpowder the church, parliament, and all Permit me now seriously to ask, whether it is subserving the cause of truth to without any exception or correction, such a communication to readers as an 'able rejoinder I do not charge Air. B.

with wilful perversion but, (considering the connection in which my remark stands, ana the plain avowal of my non-resistant sentiments in the very same article,) I consider his remarks as indicative of a state of mind that disqualifies for fair and intelligent discussion. Fearing that I might incommode you by offering a longer article, for immediate insertion, 1 postpone further strictures. Yours tor the truth, HENRY GREW.

THE I BE AT OB MISCELLANY.

From the Boaton Conner. Beet Sugar. David L. Child, Esq has received from "the Massachusetts Agricultural Society, the premium of one hundred dollars, offered for the most successful ex-noriment in the production of beet sugar. Mr.

Child hM inst Dublished a treatise on the cultivation of the beet and the manufacture of tbe sugar, embodying, we presume, the results of his own experimental practice as well as the facts he obtained from personal observation, during a tour in France, Belgium, and Germany, arid from his intercourse with cultivators and manufacturers, distinguished for science and success. The design of the treatise is to bring together, in as small a compass as is compatible with clearness and precision, all that seems essential to enlighten the judgment and direct the measures of American fanners in reunion to uiis new and pleasant branch of rural economy. It seems rn us that Mr. Child has been peculiarly successful in accomplishing his design, and we commend his book to the attention of every farmer and gardener. The work treats first of the culture ot the Deet secondly, of the manufacture of the sugar and lastly, of the history and prospects of the business.

The first and second parts are those, of course, which will be the most practically The history, however, which forms the third part ot the treatise, is highly interesting, and discloses a variety of facts and statements, tending to encourage this branch of industry. We copy the following calculation concerning the labor required in the cul tivation of the beet: In France they allow thirty days work to acre, twenty-four of which are days of women and children, and the weeding is mostly done by hand and the hand In the United States, so far as we have had experience, it has taken from twelve to sixteen days work to cultivate an acre of beets, according as the land was more or less weedy. This did not include ploughing, harrowing, and cartin manure, for all of which we add three days, making the whole number fifteen to nineteen days. 4 The erowth of the cane requires nine months, that of the beet three to four months. The work- in days in nine months are two-hundred and thir- tv-two.

in four months one hundred and three one hundred and three divided by seventeen, the medi um number of days required for an acre of beets. gives six acres ana a iracuon over, as ine ex tent which one man, with proper implements, and a horse can cultivate with beets one acre more -than a man, though closely driven, can cultivate with su crar canes ratwo and a Quarter tunes as many (lavs fn other words, the culture of the cane costs two and two thirds times as much as the beet. If we add to this fact the other, that only half as much product in sugar is obtained from an acre of canes, as from an acre of beets, the difference in favor of the latter, as far as culture is concerned, will appear enormous. 4 But it does not end here. The beet culture deep ens and loosens the sou the cane, by its nu merous and spreading roots, (it belonging to the family or grasses,) binds and stinens the soil, leaving it always in a had state for a succeeding crop.

The cane field requires fallowing, or rest, two years for every two of bearing the beet not only requires no fallows, but is itself a substitute for fallows, and saves the necessity of them for other crops. The cane exhausts, the beet fertilizes the land. The cane affords no manure except the tops and blades left on the ground the beet, besides leaves and tops, mul tiplies the barn manure in an extraordinary manner. Finally, the beet feeds and fattens multitudes of cattle, sheep, and swine, while the cane affords noth ing for such a From this and various other estimates and calculations, Mr. Child supposes that 4 beet sugar can be made in the United states.

at a cost 6t tour cents pound and if so, it will be secure in its existence, and may smile at the efforts of any competitor, though backed by the cheap hosts of Hindostan. Mr. Child exhibited specimens of his sugar, manufactured at Northampton, at the late fair of the Mechanic Association in this city, and received the Society's silver medal. Specimens were also ex hibited to several gentlemen of the Worcester Agri cultural Society, and the brown was found to be pure, very sweet, and entirely free from any bad taste and its quality, in every respect, was highly satisfactory. From the Peoria (III.) Register.

A rEBitocs Advewtcre. During the severe snow storm, on Wednesday night last, as the Chicago mail sleigh was passing from Peru to Henne pin, and when within four or five miles of the lat ter place, the driver got lost, and, with the passen gers remained out all night. 1 he snow had completely obliterated the track, so as to make it impos sible, in the absence of all houses, fences, or other land marks, to keep it wind also was directly ahead, and blowing with great violence. There were two who encouraged the driver to keep the team in motion, and thus four hours were spent in wandering about the prairie. Reaching at length a clump of trees, they determined to make a halt, and wait lor daylight.

The driver, in secur ing his horses, became necessarily more exposed to the storm, and was ready to perish ere he had tin ished. The two passengers, one of whom was Mr. Bigelow, rail road contractor, were provided with buflalo robes, and laid down in the snow, which was whirled about them by the wind with unremitting fury. Mr. B.

says he felt a strong tendency to sleep, which he knew must prove the sleep of death. Rousing himself, therefore, he sprang to his feet, and, with his fellow. iinnuL, nifc- uiubtulcd to look sfter tha driver, who was found almost lifeless. By shaking and rousing him to exercise, consciousness was at length restored, and the group, adopting various ex pedients to keep in motion till daylight, then saw where they were, and in an hour afterwards reached Hennepin. Advice to Men ix Debt.

Ascertain the whole state of your affairs. Learn exactly how much you owe. Be not guilty of deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken suspicions of dishonesty, when your intentions were tar otherwise, ueiiueraiciy and fully make up your mind, that come what will, you will practice no concealment, or tnex, which might have the appearance of fraud. Upenness and candor command respect among all good men.

Remember that no man is completely ruined among men, until his character is gone. Never consent to hold, as your own, one farthing which rightfully belongs to others. Beware of feelings of despondency. Give not place for an hour to useless and enervating melancholy. Be a man.

Reduce your expenditures to the lowest possible amount. Care not to figure as others around you. Industriously pursue such lawful and honest arts of industry as are left to you. An hour's industry will do more to beget cheerfulness, suppress evil rumors, and re trieve your affairs, than a month's moaning. If you must stop business, do it soon enough to avoid the just charge of an attempt to involve unsus pecting friends.

Learn from your present difficulties the utter vanity of all earthly things. Dr. Four. The Evening Post says He was man ot strong intellect, much cultivated in the various departments of knowledge and inquiry, and his judgement was calm and solid. His expen ence in the evils of arbitrary governments, joined to the feelings of universal good will, and to the genial spirit of hope which was ever strong within him, led him to embrace the purest democratic prin ciples in regard to government and legislation.

The world had not a firmer, a more ardent or more con sistent friend of human liberty. His passions, naturally energetic, were all so perfectly subjected to uie control or we nigner qualities oi nis cnaracter, that although you saw they were not extinct, you saw, at the same time, that they were held in their place and overruled by justice and benevolence. No man could have known him even slightly, with out bemg strongly impressed by the surpassing benigmitv of his character. He is taken from us bv a mysterious providence in the midst of his Tri.xidad. The first accounts from the emigrants to this island are, on the whole, highly favorable.

We learn that Frederick A. Hinton, of this city, has been appointed the Agent of the British Colonial Government, in this city. To the voluntary self-induced emigration of such of our colored citizens as choose to try their fortune in another clime, we have no objection, whether they choose the arid coast of Africa the woods of Canada, or the is lands of the West Indies. We wish to see them free to go or to stay, and to enable them to be so in reality, we shall continue to do all in our power to place them, in the "eye of the law, upon an equality with their tchite neighbors. We wish to take away from them, all inducements to emigrate for the pur- IMM nf lT a rrf fwwii vwWMnrirtn an1 1ait1 Jim.

I The Gasr enforce Tfce rtzbt of Petition cloven down Abolitionists, take eoarasc The Guardians of our Southern Patriarchal Institution, and their obedient Northern harmonizers, have finally succeeded in bolting the doors against all petitions in relation to the peculiar system. They have howled around the halls of Congress till they have accomplished their anti-human purposes, and made their most Anti-Republican resolutions standing rules of the House, during this.

Congress. But, they are fast listening to the end of their race. They were only able to carry their project by 6 majority. The North is beginning to open her eyes, and soon, if we mistake not, she will burst the chains forged by the South, which, hitherto, she, the North, has consented, tamely, to wear. Let Abolitionists be true to the slave let them continue stedfast to their doctrines, and wield" the sword of the spirit, and public sentiment will frown upon these haters of crushed humanity till they will be glaa to tug troai their rrraves these consisrned memor ials of the crush ed riehts of Republican freemen.

Cazenovia Her ald. The House of Representatives have at length, after a long debate, adopted a standing order, to the effect, that no petition, resolution or other paper respecting the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, or respecting the slave trade in the district, the territories or between the states, shall be received, but on neing presemea snail oe considered as objwwuw ouu CJ without debate. or our own pan we rcs auv." like that which seems to guide and guard the stifling the freedom of debate, and for shutting! bark, be now interposed to arrest, avert, dash out any class ot our citizens irom uie usual way oi making known their views ana wisnes to ixmgress, with utter abhorrence. We.lookupon them as ty- rannical, and of most dangerous precedent Let the principle on which they rest be once recognized and they may be indefinitely extended until the right of discussion on the floor of Congress shall be con fined to' very narrow limits, and the despotism of the majority will be as complete within its walls, as the despotism ot Austria within her Boundaries, it is not that we suppose that the abolitionists will be si lenced by any such proceedings. Zealously, even fiercely, attached to their doctrines, fond of controversy, ever on the watch for opportunities of debate and dextrous in seizing them, they will take care that the forbidden question be kept before Congress as they have done for several sessions past in spite of the rules and restrictions of the majority.

Al- ready have we had nearly a six weeks discussion of abolition before adopting the standing order to wnicn we aiiuae, ana una were me second ses- sion ot Congress, there would hardly remain sum cient time to get the appropriation and other ne- cessary bills through both Houses ot Congress. But we fear for feebler interests, supported by more timid and less hardy advocates wrongs and claims little known in the community.

Of our sixteen millions of people, only two millions are authorized to sneak their sentiments to their Representatives through the commanding medium of the ballot-box. The other fourteen millions, though equally and eminently affected in their lives and property, their persons, rights and welfare, by the acts of their rulers, can only appeal to them in the humble form of petition or remonstrance. The Kight of Petition to voters an alternative to be used on peculiar occasions is to these fourteen millions their all.

It is a right never denied by the bloodiest despot of Asia to the basest of his abject millions. Petition is the attitude in which the mean est subject may approach his monarch the most degraded slave his master tbe vilest sinner his God It is an attitude respected every where but in the ederal House of Representatives. It cannot be that there are any so besotted as to say that a denial of the right to petition on one point is not a general subversion. Whenever the power to be approached prescribes the subjects on which it may be petitioned, or declares beforehand that it will not hear petitions on certain subjects, the Right of Petition is To be allow ed to petition only for such action as Power is pre disposed to grant, is no right at all but the emptiest I I I 1 puuusnea in orcece, tne Ionian islands, and Tur-JournaL hey.

Freedom and Slavery The following passage from the address of R. C. Winthrop, on the anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims, pursuing the parallel between the Jamestown and Plymouth Colonies, is replete with interest as pointing out the earliest introduction of the principles of freedom and slave ar into this country: The vear 1G20 was unquestionably the great epoch of American destinies. Within its latter half were included the two events which have exercised incomparably the mo3t controlling influence on the character and fortunes of our country. At the very time the Mayflower, with its.

crat states that 4 previous to the trial of the Africans I of the Amistad. before the United States District I Court at New Haven. Jadfre Judson nresidin Mar- tin Van Buren addressed a letter to the Judge, re- commending hnn and urrin(r to order the Afr 1 cans to be token back to Havana in a Government I vessel, to be there sold as slaves and that about the I same tune, the United States schooner Grampus was ordered to New Haven to receive them. do not know how much truth there may be in the I fact stated in regard to the President, but we do I know that the Grampus was here on a mysterious errand, and lay in our harbor without any acknowledged object until the decision of the Court It was also understood that it was the wish of the Executive that the Africans should be criven up to the Spanish authorities, and appeal is now instituted with that view. It was said that the Grampus was provisioned tor a cruise ot twenty months, but, aner leaving our naroor anu lying on iew jjondon fora week or two, she returned to New York.

This interference of the Executive with the Judicial power, savors a little too much of 4 the Democracy 2f Turkey. We doubt if Cinques and Grabeau, as Judge Judson promised, ever get to Africa.
