Your bed of down, how soft and warm, 8weet slumbers close your eyes, No cares disturb, no fears molest Then, Lady, do not rise. Sleep till the sun, with silent pace, Has reached bis highest noon; Then rise to breathe the balmy air And fragrant breath of HEALTH. Oh, Lady, list not to the lay 2 That artful syren sings fi No tongue the countless woes can tell, in her train she brings. Then, Lady, riae the morning air Your languid frame shall brace, Shall give new vigor to yc ur step, And beauty to your face.

The eastern skies are tinged with gold, Rich music fills the air, There's perfume on the morning breeze, And beauty every where. 7 Ob waate not thus the morning's prime, Nor let me call in vain Think, Lady, think, if now refused, I ne'er may call again. Disease, even now, with secret power, Is busy at your heart, Has plucked the roses from your cheek, And cankered every The Lady heard the warning voice, Her heart was filled with dread Her curtains slowly she unclosed, And raised her languid head. With anxious eyea she gazed around, Then tried in vain to rise, While Indolence, with gentle force, Pressed down her weary eyes. With chains invisible, though strong, She kept her in her power.

I NO N-R ESI ST A NCE. Xetter from II. Wright to Asnoe A. Phelpe, Bosxojr, June 1840. Dear -v In recent communication in the Liberator, giv ing an accouut of the anniversary of the Connccti cut state A.

s. society in new tiaven, i ntzea mat A. A. Phelps was the first ma that went to hear the Grimkies lecture in Boston, and then followed them to Lynn and led the men of Lynn to bear them. ou request me to make the following correction, which I do most cheerfully.

accomDanvine it with some remarks as to an erring friend and brother. That in Lynn you first heard the Grimkies lecture, not in notion. That You did not hear them in Hot ton till vou heard them in the State ILmsei in the Hall of RevresentatireM. before a Cotnmlilet oA the Mattackuaeils Legislature. You did.

then, iro to Lvnn to hear them lecture, and. by croinjr yourself, encouraged the men of Ahat town to go and hear them. At Lynn their meetings were ooened to men. and men were encouraged to attend with the women to hear women speak in an- ti-slavery meetings in this State, and, as it seems, mainly through your influence. This was in June, Ie37.

Witnin less man one year irom mat time, you publicly declared it a sin and a shame in wo- man to speak and vote in an Anti-Slavery Conven tion and that the Convention sinned in inviting, or allowing her to do so. here was your con science when you went nine miles to Lynn to hear a woman speaK in an anti-siavery meeting, and oy your example encouraged other men to go and hear Was it less a sin and shame for woman to speak in an anti-slavery meeting in Lynn in June, 1837, than in an A. S. Convention in Boston in May, 1838, both being composed of men and women Was it less a sin in men to hear her speak in a promiscu ous assembly in one place and time than in the other Jn February cob, you went to hear a woman speak in the Legislative Hall of this State, and ad dress a multitude of men and women, some 500 leg islators' being of the number. Was it a sin and shame in her Was it a sin in you and the other men to countenance her by going to hear? There was teaman in a Hall of Legislation, addreis ing five or six hundred legislators on the mora! and political bearings of slavery and you were present to hear and sanction her.

Where was vour con science then Where the declarations of Paul about woman's keeping silence in the church, which you so otten quote against woman speaking in anti-slavery meetings i Did you think of them when you, in that Hall, heard the cause of humanity plead Pd nv woman's I ins Hid Rhf Bin Hid vnn am 3 Yet in about three months after this, you solemnly affirmed it to be a sin and a shame for woman to speak and vote in an Anti-Slavery Convention and tha the Contention smned against God in allow ing her to do so. In April, 1838, 1 was present at the Odeon, and heard a leoman plead for the slave in the presence of thousands, men and women. It is my impression that Amos A. Phelps was in that throng. Had you a thought that she sinned against God, or that you and the rest of the men were sinning in hearing her Yet, bur a few weeks after this, May 31, you declared, in the Marlboro' Chapel, in the presence of a multitude, that it was a sin and a shame in wo man to deliberate and act with men in an Anti-Slavery Convention, and that the Convention sinned in permitting her to do so.

You desired to have your name stricken troin the roll ot the Convention, be cause woman was allowed to speak and vote with men and you entered a written protest against it. I do not call these things to your mind to taunt you. have no personal Ul-wiii to gratify, our personal treatment of me has given me no cause for any but kind feelings towards you. But I regard you as the prime mover in the division in the anti- slavery ranks. If this division hinders the progress of the principles of human rights, the guilt, I be lieve, must rest primarily with you.

You have sub jected the cause to this expense and trouble? be cause woman was permuted to speak, vote and act with men on the anti-slavery platform as her sense of duty dictated. Since your declaration of May 31, 1838, in the Marlboro' Chapel, that it iras a sin and a shame tor woman to speak and act in an Anti- Slavery Convention, and that it is a sin in the Con vention to permit her to do so, you Jiave been un ceasing in your efforts to bring reproach on the an- ti-slavery organization, as at first formed, which ac cords to every human being liberty of thought and communication according to their sense of duty, and which admits all to an equality of rights. This organization you have spared no pains to destroy, be cause it would not exclude woman from the use of her right to speak, vote and act with her brethren in the cause of humanity. It is due to justice and to the principles of human rights, that your course, as leader in the attack on those principles as applied to woman, should be known as a matter of record. You have statement or explanation of your former course, when vou followed woman from olace to nlace to hear her speak for the slave nor have I seen any rea sons assigned why you now think it 'a sin and a shame for you, as ft member of an Anti-Slavery Convention, to hear a woman speak and vote and why you think it wrong to belong to a Society which allows woman to speak and' vote at its meetings, as she thinks duty calls.

In 1837, you could travel nine miles to hear her speak in a public as sembly in lc4U, you travel hundreds ot miles, and cause an expense of thousands of dollars, to avoid hearing her, and to prevent her from speaking. In 1838, you could go with lawyers doctors, judges, ministers and legislators to hear women speak in the halls of legislation in 1839-40, you would break up all existing A. S. Societies, and move heaven and earth, because woman is allowed to plead for the slave under the very circumstances in which you were once so eager to hear her. Were you sinning then? Ur are you sinning now Were yon violating moral principle, outrag ing propriety, and retarding the progress of emanci pation, when you so eagerly followed woman to Lynn and to the State House, to hear her preach abolition to men as well as women or are you committing these sins and injuries nowf Your present or your former covrse must be wrong tor they are diametrically opposed.

Which is ltr 1 have nev er known you to feel or express the least penitence for going to hear woman speak in Lynn or in the State House. When you solemnly affirmed that it was 'a sin and a shame' for women to speak and vote in aa anti-slavery meeting with men, you uttered not one word of sorrow that you had so recently sinned and done all you could, by example, to encourage her thus to speak. My brother, allow me to speak plainly. Your case demands lL I believe you will one day thank me for being plain with you. When you adopted the principles of abolition oi human rights you adopted principles that you were not able to carry out you were not willing to apply them to man as man.

irrespective of sex or condition. The princi ples called for a sacrifice of the prejudices of your education and calling, that you were not prepared to meet. When you saw the stand taken by ministers in the Pastoral Letter of June, 1837, respecting wo man lecturing ln men, and the general prejudice excited against that course, by that 'letter, you quailed. To extend the right to deliberate and communicate to woman as you did to man, in the face of that Pastoral Letter and of th great body of the clergy, was an exercise ot devotion to principles from which you shrunk. Hence in contradic tion of your former practice, you declared it to be a sin and a shame for women to speak and vote with men in an A.

S. Convention. You then proved false to the principles for which you had before so nobly contended and suffered. For some cause, you shrunk away from carrying them out in respect to woman. You would wrest from woman, because she is woman, her right to deliberate, speak, vote and act for God and humanity, according to her own eiMeof duty.

From that time, you have been departing wider and wider from a simple, child-lise adherence to principle. You are wrong, my brother and will not find peace and rest to your soul till you return and commit yourself to your principles firmly following wherever they lead. 1 cannot speak doubt- ingly. I ou are wrong. freedom ot conscience, thought and speech, is an inalienable human right.

You, and those who go with you in the 'new-or ganization, are determined to denv this right to one half of mankind, solely because God made them women. You cannot disguise it. To say that woman, because she is woman, shall not speak and vote, as her conscience dictates, with men, in anti-slavery meetings, is to rob human being of an inalienable, heaven-born right. It is slavery. as well as man, is responsible to God, not to man, for the use of her talents.

Youv would hinder her from using her talents for justice and humanity, as her conscience shall direct and thus assume to dictate to her when Rod where she may speak for God and the right. You are wrong: and a you would answer to I a LIB ER A It. Him who poured out his spirit on woman, and commissioned Acr to pray and prophesy, in whose kingdom there is no inequality of gex, and who makes each individual personally responsible to Him, may you coaoe back to the simple truth aa it is in Jesus, on the subject of human rights, and abide by it in life and in deam nrm and dauntless to meet every 1 foe and ti follow principle to bonds and to the croaa. THE CHURCH CLERST. I would say one vword to yon on these topics.

Yon, and those who are new-organized with yoo, would give the impression that I am opposed to a Christian church and Christ ion ministry. You so construe what I say against a church and ministry that fellowship slavery and war and thus support robbery and slavery is rolberyf yourself oetng witness; ana armed resistance, or war, is murder,) as to make it tell againt a Christian church and ministry. Do you believe I am opposed to a Christian church and ministry You know I am not Why then try to make the impression that I am Is it not to brinjr odium on the old anti-slavery organization, which extends the right to deliberate and communicate to all alike, to tcomen as well as to men You hate this policy, and would crush the society that pursues it. But can you, and those wno go with you, hope to gain your end by repre- senting those who adhere to the original platform ana cany oui its principles, as opposed to a vans- tian ministry and church, when von know we are not 1 say, when you know we are not, for you have not quoted, and cannot quote a line, from any thing spoken or written, that looks that way. No, my erring brother you know that my oppo sition is not to a Christian ministry and church, but to tnat cnurcn and ministry that, bv silence or di rect apology, sanction concubinasre.

I say in the language of another The slaveholder, be he Christian or infidel, saint or sinner, minister or layman, is a RUBBER, a wrong uoer oi me worst possioie character tl he is a learn ed, intelligent, piMS, derated, pra jfin, godly, minis ter, why, then he ia LtAllIS tU, I "VrKLLlUENT, riOUS, DEVOTED, FRAYING, GODLY MINIS TERIAL ROBBER. And the only difference be tween him and other robbers of the same kind is, tnat addition to the first rubbery, he steals the liverv or neaven to serve the devil in. and thev do not.

He is as much worse than a highway robber, as the man "himself purse and all, is ot'more value than the purse and he should be regarded and treated accord- uo you recognize mis ou wui una it in a re view oi the Clerical Appeal Liberator, Aug. 18, ioj, Dy amus A. Apply the lan guage to those also who countenance and sustain slavery by silence and apology, and you cover the whole ground. I could ask no more. The slave would ask no more.

Were you then opposed to a Christian church and ministry So far from it, that in this very language you showed great regard lor a true Christian minis try and church. Thus would I show my regard now. 1 would hold up the 'pioua, devoted, prayinc. godly, ministerial slaveholder, and apologist for slaverv. as a 'PIOUS.

DEVOTED. PRAYIlVfl GODLY MINISTERIAL an object of universal and eternal aonorrence, wno steals the livery of heaven to serve the devil in As I would honor Him who hath loved me and died for me, and see his peaceful empire established on earth, I will not cease to rebuke and denounce the clerical slaveholder, and apologist for slavery, as you have taught me to do, as 'a robber or the worst possible charac a PIOUS, DEVOTED, PRAYING, GOD LY MINISTERIAL ROBBER e. a HYPO CRITE. For doing this, will, you and the new-or ganizers accuse me of opposing a Christian ministry Do you ask, what constitutes a Christian church What a Christian minister I am ready to answer these questions, affirmatively, should you wish it in a proper time and place. Now is the time, and the LIBERATOR the place, to answer them negatively ano say wnat is not a tnnstian cnurcn and ministry.

Taat is not a Christian church that sanctions slavery, directly or by refusing to bear testimony against it- That is not a Christian ministry that fellowships and countenances slavery by apology or by silence. It is a libel on Christianity to call such a church and ministry Christian lor they sanction adu tery, tnett, roooery and murder 1 hey are PIOUS, DEVOTED, PRAYING, GODLY and do but 'steal the livery of heaven to serve the devil in. They are II YPOCRITES. To be concluded nest week. MISCELLANY.

Life of the Rev. Theobald Mathew. Mr. Muthew was born in the year 1789, at Thom- astown House, the seat of the Earl of Llandaffjinj the county of Cork. hen about twenty years of age, he entered col leee, where, havinsr completed the usual course of studies, he took or- ders as a Franciscan friar.

On leaving college, he fixed his residence at Cork, where, in a short time. ho earned a high reputation by the zeal with which he aiscnarged tne duties ot his sacred oth.ee, and particularly by his powers as a pulpit orator. To enu merate the services which he rendered to his fellow citizens, particularly the humbler classes of them, is a task agreeable in itself, but one which would require more time and space than we can afford to bestow. Let it be sufficient to say, that he has spent the last five and twenty years in continual exertions to mitigate the sunerings ot the poor of his neighborhood, and to raise them from the moral and phys- 1 ical degradation to which they had oeen reduced. Never, during that time, was an attempt to effect any ot the great ends ot charity, to instruct the ig norant, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, that did not either originate with him, or at least receive his most ardent support He never stopped to in quire whether 6iich an attempt originated with a Protestant or Catholic he required but to be told that its object was to confer a benefit on his fellow man.

By such a course of life, Mr. Mathew gained, in i short time, an unbounded influence over the minds of the surrounding poor. About two years ago, it was suggested to him, by a tew benevolent individuals who had attempted to establish a total absti- nance Society in Cork, that he could not better em- nlov his talents and inflnpnp.n than in reclaimintr tho I humbler classes of his fellow citizens from the vice of I drunkenness, which prevailed at the time to a fright ful extent amongst them. He embraced the propo sal without hesitation about the commencement of I the year 1838, he formed the first total abstinence Society. The temperance movement, like all great revolutions, has grown from small beginnings.

For several months alter the first Society was establish ed, the number of its members scarcely exceeded five hundred. In October last, he commenced his tour through the south of Ireland, visiting Limerick, Waterford, Dungarvon, Clonmel. Killarney. Tallow. Galwav.

Lougbrea, Dublin several other places, addressing the people and administering the pledge ui wui lusuueuct; irom nil mat intoxicates to im 1 a- i i mense masses of men and women who flocked around him. Not less than 1,000,000, it is now supposed, have received the pledge from his hand, and among these not more than one hundred have resigned it back. His toil has been unremitted, and bis deportment 6uch as became the Christian and the man. The blessing of thousands who were perishing is upon him. Jits immediate family consists of four brothers and a sister.

One of those brothers. Mr. Thomas Mathew, is proprietor of a large distillery at Cas- tlelake, in the county of Tipperary. Two others, Charles and John, have shares in this establishment, and have property embarked in it to a considerable amount Each of these has suffered more bv the present movement tnan pernaps any other persons in ireianu. nut mis is not ail.

i'ne sinter. Ger trude Mathew, is married to another extensive dis tiller, Mr. Hackett, of Middleton, county of Cork. Mr. Charles Mathew is married to Miss Hackett whose fortune is embarked in the Middleton distillery.

Thus there is not a single member of his family on whom he has not inflicted a serious injury oy his aavocacy oi temperance. Mr. Mathew is somewhat under the middle size we should sav I about five feet eight somewhat corpulent, but not so aa to render him in any degree inactive. In his countenance there is a peculiar expression of benev- oience. win unaenane to say that no one ever yet sat one hour in his company and left it his enemy.

The most valuable part of every man's education is that which he receives from himself, especially when the active energy of his char acter makes ample Rtueuds for the want of a more finished course of study. Olive Leaf. I.tDiA At an interview with the Manchester Chamber of Commerce, few weeks since, much information as to the culture of cotton in India was communicated by Mr.

Brown, a large lRnd-owner and spice-grower on the? Malabar coast. Tho grand impediments which existed against the culture of cotton to an indefinite extent, and of an excellent quality, he represented to be, bad roads and excessive taxation. He said the taxes, or assessments, in one shape and another, were so enormous as to exceed the profits' of cultivation, and thus to render the land valueless. Multitudes, he states, have abandoned their farms, in order to get rid of the continual exactions imposed upon them, and thus a large part of the country has been virtually confiscated by the government. Mr.

Brown gave it as his opinion, that if the fiscal impedements now existing aerainst the cultivation of cotton were removed, and only a moderate export dnty laid up on the article, if might be put on shp, for three hay pence per pound and the cost of conveying it to England would probably be as much more. At this rate, the cost of India cotton in England would be only about six cents a pound A number of cotton-growers from Mississippi and Louisiana are now on their way to India, and wil impart such information as they possess, relating to 1a a mi i cutuvauon ana management, iney were inaucea to go out, by British agent, who doubtless satis fies their expectations in respect to 1 the It would not. be strange, therefore, if, in the course of a few years, our cotton should encounter a more spirited competition in the English market tnan tt has hitherto done.
