military weapon but I take them both together as varied examples having the same perni cious effect of all military exhibitions The most immediate effect of both manifestations was that they served alike as blinders The funeral escort tby its fascinating gaudincss gave a trium phant rather than a melancholy aspect to the proces sion and thus put out of mind for a time at least the absurdity of an unreal funeral for a man whose body had been buried a month previous in a grave four hundred miles distant which by most ra tional persons was perceived and ridiculed The rapid and skilful evolutions of the Artillery on the second day excited an admiration and interest winch threw a veil of oblivion over the imagination ofthe murderous purpose for which these instruments were designed and had been employed in Mexico These exhibitions gave also similar of the tendency common to all military operations to destroy the individual liberties of the people In both there was arbitrary command on tho part of one man and implicit obedience in all the rest Massed of human beings considered free and intel ligent are impelled by dictation to arrange them selves and move with a regular mechanical order like inanimate machines no more volition is allow ed them than to the horses that accompany them A still more coercive tyranny is seen in the repression of the encroachments of spectators by the muskets and bayonets of guarding sentinels which though yet in some degree resisted by the spirit of inde pendence is becoming more1 and more acquiesced in by the people It may beisaid that these evils are merely temporary tolerated only from necessity on the few days of parade and that the soldiers and even the inflated officers return at other times to their social equality with other citizens but it is plain that the more interesting these exhibitions are made the more frequeiit they will become and larger portion of citizens will be drawn into the military ranks and in proportion to the multiplica tion of these days of parade will the public mind lose its just repugnance to military rule and submit more readily to its tyrannical yoke Let this love of military display be perpetually augmented and the day may not be remote when the whole nation like those of antiquity may be subjected to the most se vere and irresistible of all military despotism a mili tia despotism which neither our boasted republican forms our elections our public meetings or even the unbounded freedom of the press will be able to with stand I pass with a mere allusion to the effect of nil military parades to perpetuate the childish love of pageantry so enfeebling and corrupting to the in tellects and morals of a community because this is not the effect of military operations exclusively and proceed to remark on the most important and lamentable of the evil effects of all military exhibi tions They invariably engender a martial spirit in the people a spirit the most opposed to the univer sal love of the Gospel the most malignant in its nature and most disastrous in its consequences to my body and soui to the hell of slaverv To do so would be treason against human HENRY WRIGHT rom the New Englander REDERICK DOUGLASS I went to the ugitive Slave Convention at Caz enovia the other day for the purpose of daguerreo typingthe world known man whose name is at the head of this article The meeting was held in a pleasant orchard owned by a friend to humanity who kindly permitted the colored Kossuths Garnbaldis and others to meet under her vine and fig tree where no tyrant dare molest them or make them afraid At the proper time for the commencement of the services of the meeting a large number of per sons of every sect in religion of every party in poli tics and of every shade of complexion met in this magnificent temple of nature The golden chanda lier in the blue roof above shone down like the smile of God upon that happy group of beautiful women and brave men for though some of them were black they were comely 'There was Lougan a noble jxirtly dignified looking black who escaped from sla very several years ago He is now an acceptable and" popular preacher of the gospel There were the beautiful Edmonson girls who werc recaptured on board of the Pearl but who hive now found a safe and welcome asylum here at the free North They tire emphatically bright mulattoes wiith even features soft voices perfect forms and eyesl radiant with in telligence Wo be tothe men who hold such in bondage!

By letting the op pressed go free No By doing justice to his slaves? No By making restitution to those of his fellow beings whom during all his life he had despoiled of their all No He freed not a slave he made no restitution ho healed not one wound which he had inflicted on humanity nor expressed one regret that he inflicted those deep enduring wounds He left 300 men women and children to all the untold hor rors of American slavery And thus that man with the honest as rederika Bremer tells us tried to do his Dear James I have often heard you express your admiration for rederika Bremer Who that has read her writings has not admired and loved her? What can you say of her or for her now She came to America went to Washington was petted and patronized by slaveholders and she has bowed to the dark spirit of slavery and laid her humanity on its altar She was the much honored guest of the slave holder in the 'npital and she heralds to the world his love his gentleness his justice his honesty his piety Let her spend one car on Zachary Tay plantation as the whipped and outraged slave of that man with the honest and then see if she will say that truthfulness and conscientiousness were the unswerving qualities of his But I forbear I am sick at heart when I see such a woman treacherous to her nature and her God She came among us was weighed in the balance and found wanting I have watched her course as have many others with solicitude to see which side she would take on this question of slavery I know not that she has written one word to sustain abolitionists She has taken occasion from the death of her slave holding friend Zachary Taylor to say all the slave holders could wish her to say in favor of slavery She han Jully endorsed the slavehold iny character She will return to Europe a fallen woman The execra tions of three millions of God poor afflicted children will accompany her for she has in the only efficient way possible struck hands with their oppressors The hearts of many will grieve over her fall Her writings can never be read again by the abolitionists of this country as they have been Would that red erika Bremer had never set foot on American soil I Better had it been for her had she found her grave in the deep sea ere she landed here to swell the anthem of praise over one of the direst and most re lentless slaveholders that ever cursed this world Let her be dumb henceforth as to the despots of Europe for in our capital she has done hom age to a more heartless more inhuman tyrant than ever filled an European or Asiatic throne Let her cease to bewail the condition of toiling mil lions for she has turned her back on the sufferings of the enslaved millions of this Republic You may think me severe and unjust I am not I feel I think I speak as a slave on Zachary plantation as his poor imbruted despised heart stricken slave and not as his honored guest in the White House Yes I am a slave under the lash denied my manhood herded wilh brutes and driven to unpaid toil as a beast of the field and compelled to feel after God and eternal life amid beasts and creep ing things Can I otherwise speak of the woman who thus lauds the honesty and piety of him who thus consigns I cannot ity REDERIKA BREMER AND ZACHARY TAYLOR THE SLAVEHOLDER Mesopotamia (Ohio) i Sunday September 8 1850 To James Haughton Dublin Ireland: Dear My heart is sorely grieved and turns for sympathy because in thy domestic circle I have so often spoken with thee in heart felt admi ration of the person who has sent anguish to the hearts of three millions of slaves of all those in this land who feel for them as bound with them The facts are these Zachary Taylor late President of this falsely named republic claimed held and used three hundred hu man beings as slaves turned them into brutes and compelled them to live without marriage crushed and sundered all their domestic ties and en dearments by tearing asunder husbands and wives parents and children brothers and sisters bred and reared human beings for the market as he did mules and swine and merged the bodies and souls of his slaves their reason their conscience their time and eternity their God their entire being in his own pe cuniary profit This same Zachary Taylor in con nection with Cuban bloodhounds led on the extermi nating war against lhe Seminole Indians to destroy them solely because they gave refuge to men and wo men fleeing from the whips fetters and horrors of slavery lie led on the war against Mexico waged solely to extend and perpetuate slavery to increase 'the profits of the slave trade and to give efficiency to slave breeding Eighty thousand Mexicans were murdered and several thousand Indians were torn to1 pieces by Zachary Taylor and his coadjutors because they would not give up their soil to the dominion of slavery and because they would feed the hungry clothe the naked and give shelter and protection to the wandering punting hunted fugitive from repub lican whips and chains Had the king of Sweden or any nobleman in that kingdom done exactly what Zachary Taylor did as a slave breeder a slave tra der a slaveholder and a warrior what would rede rika Bremer have said of him And Taylor lived and died without one expression of regret or one act of restitution for the wrongs he had done to the slaves the Indians or the Mexicans Not a slave did he free but he loft three hundred men women and chil dren to the pollutions outrages and horrors of sla very Several months ago rederika Bremer the author of and of many other works that have been read with deep est interest by the abolitionists of America because of their tendency to humanize man and help on his progression in love justice and goodness came to this country to study its maxims manners customs and institutions During her residence here slavery in connection with Mexico California and fugitive slaves has absorbed the entire mind of the nation almost the only topic of discussion in the family the lyce um the social circle in the newspapers and period icals in the halls of legislation and in the steamboat and rail car rederika Bremer knew the past and present life of Zachary Taylor She could not have been in this country as she has been and not know that he claimed and used three hundred human be ings as brutes and chattels She must have heard the groans of the mothers bereft of their children by him she must have seen the tears and the lacerated backs in her eye of the men and women on his plantation in the south west Knowing all these things as she must have known them with the crimes of that man staring her in the face with three hnrefl bv that man of every right even the right to their own persons of the right Io husband and wife to parent and child to brother and sister to education to worship God to body and soul to time and eiernity to God and heaven lying in misery before he eyes hear how she speaks of him in an arti lc in Sartain She visits him sees him amid friends and little children and speaks of his 'honest "unassum ing forward friendly the firm and cordial pressure of his his standing serene smiling to the as a gallant true American as one whose speech flowed on so pleasantly and so cheerfully while he spoke of the Indians whom he knew as one who had long long since made of death a friend as one to whom had been and was the spring of his life and as one in whom truthfulness and conscientiousness were the unswerving qualities of his mind" and who in these virtues was In summing up she says Happy the man who lived and died as he who on his death bed looking over a life of great military and civil import could se renely say I am not afraid to die I havc tried to do iny Such is Zachary Taylor as delineated by rederi ka Bremer She has eulogized that man gory with the blood of 80000 innocent Mexican men women and children gorged with the flesh blood and brains of innocent Seminole women and children torn to pieces his bipod bounds and covered by the exe crations of three millions of slaves whose homes he has made desolate whose wives and daughters he has consigned to prostitution and whose tears and blood he has drunk with his every meal this man thus stained with every crime she has exhibit ed to the world as gentle kind loving just honest truthful merciful pious and worthy of all imitation in his life and in his death AVhat will Zachary Taylor be when he is entered upon the page of histo ry by some fugitive slave by a rederick Doug lass by a WinAV Brown an Ellen Craft or a Henry Box Brown What will he be when he is drawn by some son or daughter of a Seminole Indian or by the victims of hie lust and brutality in Monterey and Bu ena Vista when he gave up the women and children of those towns to' the rapacity of his soldiers Thn history of Zachary plantations inl ennessee and Mississippi is yet to be written Then if red erika Bremer has one feeling of sclf rfcspect Or hu manity or love for her kind one principle of justice or right in her nature she will lament the day that she ever saw that man or drew a pen to laud a slave whose life for forty years was spent in giv ing security extension and perpetuity to the most flagrant system of concubinage robbery murder and piracy the sun ever shone upon She speaks of her interview ith the slaveholder in the following strain It was truly a republican acene one of those we would fam see more

Garrison I have been highly interested in the perusal of an ably written criticism in the Boston Post 14th inst of a work entitled The English Language in its ele ments and forms with a history of its origin and de velopement designed for use inColleges and Schools By William owler late Professor of Rhetoric in Amhert College New York Harper Brothers Boston Bedding Co I cannot but think that the critic has done no small service to thecause of Amer ican literature There would be little occasion to coinplain though we were deluged with school books if in the main such books were faultless But it sometimes seems as if our authors were determined to make amends for a deficiency in the quality by an excess in the quantity The critic ot the Post has shown most conclusively that Mr owler is not the grammarian of the age Judging from the specimens which he gives of the accuracy it certainly would noUrequire an exceedingly bright school boy to supersede him in syntax The treatise contains nearly 700 pages room for many errors Of these pages the critic has already noticed some fifty or more whereon he has detected gross faults It would seem that when a man be comes a Professor in one 'of our institutions it not unfrequently happens that the position honors the man too much while the man honors the position too little or perhaps none at all I have said that in my estimation the writer in the Post has done good service and here let me add I hope and trust that end is not that he will follow the task so well begun and not lose sight of his work until every page now marked or which may be marked hereafter for criticism shall have been thoroughly scanned and its errors exposed to public view OLD COLONY Plymouth Sept 17th I860 rederick Douglass is nearly six feet tall and well proportioned Ho is a' mulatto not much' darker than some of the slaveholders at the South He has crisped hair which is marked with a few silver threads: a square brow which does not indicate the giant mind of its possessor an aquiline nose a wide mouth and compressed lips which show the un yielding firmness of the man He has a habit of twitching the muscles of ths mouth when he be comes excited as though a speech was breaking out of it in silent syllables He dresses 1 neatly moves about deliberately and gracefully is courte ous and gentlemanly in his deportment He is per fectly free from affectation and dissimulation The honesty of his intentions shines transparently through his actions As an orator he ranks with the best speakers in Congress Indeed there are but few men in the Senate whose language is as pure nnd forcible as his One of the most eminent reporters in this country observed that he never heard but two speakers whose impromptu addresses were fit for the press as they fame fresh from the lips of the orators and these two persons who speak so ac curately are the Governor of Canada and rederick Douglass While but few of oureducated men have such a command of classical English as Mr Doug lass a still smaller number can equal him in elo quence and originality His glowing logic biting irony melting appeals and electrifying eloquence astonish the multitudes that throng his meetings It is universally admitted by the literati of Europe nnd America that Douglass is a great man whose mind bears the unmistakable stamp of true genius Yet this man who had sufficient ingenuity and cour age to escape from the prison house of bondage who has talent enough to make a name that will not die who has been received into the best society in the old world is not permitted to sit at the same table with white men is insulted on board of oor steam boats and rad cars driven from our otnnibusfses and stage coaches because of his complexion Not long since lie was mobbed in the city York because ho walked io the street in company with some white ladies of distinction who crossed the Atlantic to pay him a visit Since that time a band of ruffians as saulted him in the capital of Ohio because he was black Shame on the people who by their voice and their votes will sanction such an outrage! Shame on the parties that do not aim at the political regeneration of this country Shame on the Church that remains when she should cry aloud and lift up her voice like a trumpet against such sms Let us for a moment look at the wickedness and absurdity of this prejudice against color A few months ago Douglass was grossly insulted by the spruce captain of the Why did this white fellow treat' his passenger with such indignity He paid his fare treated all present with the utmost re spect did not assume any pompous airs committed no crime obeyed the rules which white people are requested to observe The only fault in him was the color of his skin Now place these men side by side and look at Douglass is the more perfect model of the two and decidedly the better looking man In a personal encounter he would prove to be more than a match for lys fair or rather unfair brother But we say the mind makes the man Give to each ti pen and paper and ask them to write an es say on whatever subject they Choose to select The captain could only write a few dull common place disjointed sentences that would fall like feathers in a vacuum whilst the fugitive slave would write thoughts that breathe and words that and his rich essay would make a grand toyrpfthe press elic iting the admiration of men and women of taste and talent in both hemispheres! Lead them tn the platform to address the masses IjOt the captain speak first He trembles his tongue thickens he cannot collect his thoughts although they are not numerous but he speaks words words nothing but words and they are neither con structed according to the riilesof grammar nor pro nounced properly He says he is done and the peo ple shout Amen Douglass is called He rises de liberately Owing to his color you cannot tell wheth er the blood rushes to his lace or recedes from it but the trembling of his hands the twitching at the cor ner of his mouth and the shake of his voice betray his embarrassment He is modest humble and urns suming His fine figure and manly tones command i 1 gotten that he is a colored man their sympathies and stout men weep like children ne touches their mirlhtuiness and the sunshine ot good humor lights up every countenance He says that he must stop on go exclaimthe'hear ers from all parts of the hous Off he goes again chaste his says one What a su blime observes another you ever hear such thrilling inquires a third Now permit nie to ask Ought Douglass to black en that boots and eat off his dirty plate at a second table Is he such a contemptible creature that he ought to pay cabin fare and then be kicked from the table into the steerage when he answers the bell which calls others to their meals? Must he be compelled to sit outside of the stage coach because inside there happens to be a white tnan with such a wooden head and such a wicked heart he cannot endure the presence of his black brother? Shall we exclude him from our vision rooms because a few tyrants at the South (and a few trucklers at the North) whose dwellings are cemented with the sweut and blood of the slave insult their Maker by tramp ling on what he has made? These plebeian pale faces who contemn a in because of his complex ion show an obtuseness of mind and hardness of heart which fit them for no other placethan that now occupied by the slaves Place them in the rice and cotton fields let them cultivate crops of sugar and tobacco and they will never do anything to secure their own emancipation Shall such men as Doug lass be returned to chains and slavery The English people have paid a large sum of mon ey to the man from whose clutches rederick Doug lass escaped They did so to prevent his being re captured Now suppose Douglass was a fugitive and no money had been paid to secure his liberty He visits Massachusetts at a time when a number of Southern Senators are visiting a distinguished man at Marshfield goes says Clem ens Let us give chase and catch says oote ne win not run 1 here he stands like a lion at bay before the hounds that dare not whet their langs in his blood They approach him with bowie knives and pistols Douglass knocks the weapons from their hands and grasping them by their coat collars puts their heads closer together than they ever were in Congress They cry Enough and consent to argue the case in aneuil Hall A public meeting is called The slaveholders speak first the fugitive follows and answers their arguments He batters down their hiding place and builds a fortification for himself with the ruins Even these men reluctantly acknowledge his power and would deem it no dis grace to be beaten by a white man equal ability Douglass hasimperfections He is sometimes fe rociously severe Some of his plans are impolitic and impracticable His firmness amounts to unbendiror obstinacy He does not give due credit always to the stannch friends of the slave that are not found within the pale of his party He is the Editor of the North Star a paper which deserves' an extensive circuiatijn ew men have a greater versatility of talent than Mr Douglass He can write a splendid essay deliver an eloquent speech labor a strong ar gument mimic the mountebank jugglery and 'tom foolery ot politicians in search of office and scourge with the lash of sarcasm the Priest and the Levite who pass on the other side when the slave is bleeding in chains Crayon or the Liberator AHE8PONSE MVP a 5 I Ter tht Call for a Convention to lake into consideration rrr rthe sutyect flights Ap List now to the call for this novel Brethcn nwaken and give your attention Complaints fro the aggrieved albeit ideal ShouldL arouse the brave heart to sympathy real Let uaimcct then atonce our noble accuscrs Nor longer remain their mistaken abusers Who knows but we as the of Have verily given this high provocation Arid iff the excess of our pride and our power Have trampled on woman this very hour Sat 'cvcri ns gods and declared her to be Inferior to man by Heaven's decree Whg knows but thus in our blindness of vision We have' marked as her a condition Or petted and spoiled what else xvasTdcsigncd OuTjCompecr in all ay even in mind Till nt length she's heroine contented to 1 Theloy ofour sex the weak trifler we see?
