Wholly and inexcusably false.

To offer such I resolution at this period of light, belokeus surpris i ignorance or brazen audacity. Resolred, That if the turning of the colored man rom his fire-side, if the severing of the nearest domestic relations by the man stealer in Africa, is to be renrobaled.

This publication having been primordial iu the anti-slavery contest, has indisputably the strongest claims upon the frieuds of emancipation for support. Our esteemed aud veteran coadjutor, a.min Lcsdt, has been absent ueaily a year from this, country, on a mission full of personal difficulties and dangers and as nothing has been heard from him during the last five or six months, some fears are en- tertauicd with regard to bis safety, although we trust he is yet alive aud in good health. In his last letter he stated that he had had several attacks of the cholera, but was then getting better. He has given the Genius in charge of Ev an Lewis, by whom it is to lie conducted iu future, and published at Philadelphia, instead of Washington. Price $1,00 per annum.

The irregularity with which it lias heretofore been issued, ami which has ksl it many subscribers, is hereafter to be rectified. Mr. Lewis is a father in this mighty cause. He belongs to the old school of abolitionists, at the head of which were Franklin and Risii. He has ever Ih.ch the firm friend of immediate emancipation, ami the unbending opponeul of the American Colonization Society.

lie has a cool and clear head, a ripe judgment, large and sound sense, aud writes with, exemplary conciseness, strength and boldness. Whatever becomes of the Liberator or Emancipator, we hope our while ami colored friends will not forget the ticuius of Univer-J sal Emancipation. 17 We have commenced the publication of a series of numbers from the Christian Watchman, over ilio signature of A Bap They are from the pen of a Baptist clergyman, who has a wide reputation for hit talents, independence and moral worth.

Much Ado about XothiwA For learning and discreetness, the Common Coun cil of the city of Ulica seem ambitious, and certainly bid fair, to push the authoritative Dogberry aud his courageous Watch into the shade, or, at least, to be their equals. We have already given a sriecimca of their wisdom aud patriotism, as manifested in their solemn objurgations of President Green aud the Rev.

Mr. Dauforth for daring to discuss the treasonable question, in the precincts of their official supremacy, whether all men are born free and equal, and whether the American Colonization Society is worthy of public confidence and support. It has also been reported by us, as faithful chroniclers of deathless transactions, that these sage conservators of the public morals have washed their hands in a puddle of innocency, aud acquitted their consciences from all blame, by adopting and transmitting to Congress, a scries of resolutions, deprecating the 'demoralizing' tendency of all such 'treasonable' discussions, as above alluded to. It seems by the following postscript iu the last that they have come within one of doing another expiatory deed to redeem Ulica from the pollution of liberty. The Emancipator treats the affair somewhat seriously with us it defies all gravity of countenance, and seems legitimate game for the broadest satire.

Hence the introduction of the extract at the head of this article. Incredible. We hesitated to state, until we heard it from three diiferent sources, that an auempt was made in the city council of Ulica, to have I'enali Green indicted for Treason and that there was only a majority of one vote against the proposition A PRUDENT REFORMER, In a speech delivered before the New-York Young Men's Temperance Society, a few weeks since, Benjamin F.

Rut for myself, 1 have all along thought that those who were desirous extend the pledge, to the proscription of other drinks, were in error. Ardent spirit is the giant enemy, and must be first slaiu. All other intoxicating liiuors are but pigmies, and if found troublesome, cau bo easily crushed, when the giant is away.

notice in the' history of all reformers a propensity to push things to This gentleman is a noted colonizalionist, and therefore he would be one of the last persons in the laud to push things to in a case of re form. It is quite evident, from the above extract, that he is sadly troubled lest the decanter of wine be degraded to a level with the ruin bottle, aud he bu called upon to lake up the cross of self-denial iu a manner winch he lias never yet done. lute only such vulgar liquors as brandy, rum and whiskey were forbidden, the genteel wiue-driukers saw nowhere a propensity to push things to extremes but as soon as a question arose as to the consistency of those ho denounced the moderate use of alcohol and water, and yet freely used alcohol and wine as soon as wine was analyzed, and iiicoutestibly show lo be full of poisonous qualities then, indeed, came a breeze then ihe eyes of the blind were opened then the ultra temperance men ere seen as trees walking then was discerned that trouble-sonic propensity of reformers lo push things to ex of which their history bears testimony Ardent spirit is not the giant enemy to be slain. So loi.g as the moderate use of intoxicating, poisonous wines is tolerated and made popular, the tempeiance reformation cau uever be thoroughly achieved it is rotten to the core, aud will ultimately roll back with lesistlcss impetuosity. Rum, and brandy, and whiskey, arc the waves which break over the temperance SHir frightful, indeed, but not insurmountable.

Wine is the insidious leak, which, unless it be seasonably stopped, will sink her with all her princely freight iuto the grcal deep of intemperance. The Devil is not half so formidable or successful in his true character, as hen he transforms himself into an aiirel of lijiht. AN ADMISSION. The last Portland Mirror says 1 We do not deny that some slaveholders are man- stealers; we know not what pioporlion. It maybe one-fourth, it may be ninety -nine Pray, how does the editor know that any of them are kidnappers What constitutes the crime 1 Is it mere treatment or the acknowledgment aud pos session of human beings as property What is the standard 1 PERVERSION OF THE TRUTH.

The Mirror asserts that there are those holding slaves who were brought iuto their hands, and left upon their hands, withou any choice or agency of Tiil.iu own that they are obliged tore- tain tlie visible relation of master, iu older lo afford protection to their slaves and that they no more deserve this appellation, nian-slealer, than the chaste aiul faithful husband who picks up a foundling child on his premises, deserves tlie name of adulterer and murderer That is to say they have not the po'Aer lo emancipate their slaves, and therefore they are not guilty, but the laws! they are obliged lo with meii-stealers visibly as one of their nun. her, iu order to benefit iheir property, or, iu other words, obliged to do evd that good may come This is a of Christianity indeed Let this editor reflect, for a moment, upon the sanctity which is thus given to the whole system of oppression, and lo the conduct of the hole slave- holding banditti, by just such exceptions as he has made. Those professedly good aud humane men, who retain their slaves iu Injudage, serve to make slaveholdiug an honorable, or at lst a venial act lo deailen the sympathies and modify the indignation of the people to shield the cruel, tlie base, tlie incorrigible, as well the slave trader as the slave driver aud therefore their guilt is more aggravated ihan that of those, to whom lliey act as a body guard against the friends of liberty. The example of George Washington, iu holding slaves, is constantly adduced as a proof that it caiiuot be so eery wicked lo do likewise and it is far more pernicious than that of Austin Woollblk, the notorious slave-trafTick-cr of Baltimore. It is not tlie dissolute drain-seller, but the rum-selling deacon, who is most odious and niost guilty of poisoning his fellow-men.

SUSPICIOUS OCCURRENCE. We learn by the last Brooklyn Unionist, that Miss Crandall's house was discovered to be on fire on Tuesday afternoon, 27ih under such circumstances as lead to the belief thai it as the work of an incendiary. Fortunately it was extinguished without much difficulty. A short time since, the Brook- JOURNAL OF THE TIMES. 23 lyn Advertiser, a worthiest and illiterate print, (the pliant tool of Andrew T.

Judson,) audaciously intimated that effectual measures would be taken to break up Bliss Crandalls school in the course of a month. Rase and desperate as her persecutors have shown themselves lost lo decency, honor and intelligence still we dare not believe, without the strongest proof, that ihcy were accessaries to a deed so truly diabolical. It is beyond the turpitude of those whose infamy shall thicken upon them with the increase of days and years. OUR PROSPECTS. The kind exertions of our friends, in various places, to extend the circulation of the Liberator, has been attended already with flattering success.

During the month of Jai.uary, not less than SIX HUNDRED new subscribers were added lo our list. A trust that ihe announcement of this encouraging fact, so far from checking die eflorts of those who feci an interest in our success, will stimulate them in iheir labor of love; for the low terms at which our paper is afforded, aud the numerous obstacles which have impeded our progress in past years, make a further augmentation of patrons indispensably necessary for the maintenance of the Liberator. The hint which we gave iu our first number, for each subscriber to procure us a new one to the present volume, has been improved by many, (who will accept our thanks,) as we hope it will be by all. Particularly are we indebted to our agents in Portland and Providence. Since the commencement of the new ear, our paper has been issued irregularly up to the present number, in consequence of the loss of a eek by our absence.

We are aware that our subscribers (especially in New-York and Philadelphia) have made some complaints, but wc have done the best that we could, under "all the circumstances of the case. Hereafter, the uncertainty of steam navigation and ihe irregularity of the mail excepted, shall strive to be very punctual. Under this head, we gratefully acknowledge the receipt of a handsome New Years Gift from Philadelphia, part of the proceeds of the Abolition Fair held in that city in December. Having personally expressed our thanks to the donors, they do not need a repetition of them in our columns. The names of the Managers of the Fair are as follow Mrs.

Our subscribers in that city, and throughout ihe Slate of Pennsylvania, are therefore authorised to pay their subscriptions to him. We have already informed them that Mr. James McCrcmmell is also appointed an Agent for ihe paper in the same place.

Recollect that the Maryland Assembly goes all length in its approbation of the benevolent American Colonization Society; and yet a motion to instruct a committee simply to inquire into thecr- pedietwy of abolishing slavery, not immediately, but after a certain period, called up a tempest of wiath, and was deemed so insulting that a vole was passed lo expunge it from the Journal of the House It is gravely added, it no doubt was offered with out How long will the people of the free States be de ceived by the cunning, ihe hypocrisy, and the treachery of the Colonization Society and southern slaveholders Neither Maryland nor Virginia has the least intention of abandoning iu detestable oppres- Concert. Miss Paul's colored pupils performed admirably on Tuesday evening, at Columbian Hall. The hall was crowded with delighted spectators; but, unfortunately, it was too small lo accommodate all who were desirous of listening to the juvenile singers. A large nunilcr went away, unable to ob-taiu admission. Another concert, however, is to be given hereafter by this little musical baud, iu a more commodious place.

Their articulation aud pronunciation of words were remarkably clear and accurate, and uniformly belter than those of any while juvenile choir it has been oui privilege lo.hcar. Miss Paul cannot but feel rcwaided for her strenuous exertions, iu the proficiency of her scholars, and in the unqualified approbation which their performances elicited from the audience. An exhibition like this has a powerful tendency to beget sympathy, to excite admiration, and to destroy prejudice. We are pleased to see the following notice in the Mercantile Journal of Wednesday Mr. Editor 1 was highly gratified with the exercises at Miss Paul's Juvenile Concert, last veiling.

The children wcie for the most part very young, bul they performed their several parts admirably. I could but wish a larger hall had been obtained so that au opportunity might have been given to all the lovers of music to attend. Aud 1 hope, Mr. Editor, the concert will be repeated in a more spacious and convenient Hall, or in a meetinghouse. 1 have no doubt it would be crowded.

We have received and shall make some extracts from a cogent and inflexible speech against the Americau Colonizatiou Society, delivered at Ulica, during the late Great Debate by A. B. Johnson. It is an admirable effort, and the more valuable inasmuch as the author declares that he has not read any anli-colonizdlion productions, but has coine to his present conclusions by an examination of lite documents put forth by that Society. Abolitionism aud Temperance go hand in hand, and are alike hated by the enemies of freedom and sobriety.

A striking proof of this is seen in the account of the reccut outrage committed at Ulica, cop ied into our present number from the Elucidator The persons, burnt iu effigy by the senseless mob, arc said to have been Pres. Beriah Green aud Al-van W. Stewart, Esq. The patriotic aud intelligent members of the Common Council of ihat citv, who mean lo lei Congress know- that they deem a discussion of the question of slavery uemoraliz ing' and 'treasonable (O! wise and honorable men!) seem not to have had their virtuous sensibilities and orderly iusiiucis startled by the luibulent proceedings of these, lovers of rum and slavery.

Yet the Repository has been, and continues to be, the sneering antagonist and feeble calumniator of abolitionists. So much fur consistency Discrepancy.

Pilate therefore asked him, Art thou the king of the Jews I Christ did not deny that he was a king; but said, 'My kingdom is uol of this aud for that reason his servants would not fight for him. This forcibly implies, that the cause of religion, the kingdom of Christ, is not to be defended by tlie sword of the magistrate, nor of the soldier. Bul it is far otherwise with the kingdoms of this world. It is natural and necessary that ihcy should be upheld by military force.

Maryland. We learn from the Baltimore American that another special act, auUiorizing the introduction of has lately passed the House of Delegates of Maryland. This is the State which, according to the asseverations of colonizationists, is so extremely anxious to abolish slavery Perhaps, however, it wishes to get as many slaves as possible, to send them all to Cape Palmas, where, by express contract, nobody is to get drunk or sell rum Let us be charitable. N.

B. It appears that a tax is to be laid on such slaves as may be introduced, and the amount transferred to the use of the State Colonization Society. This is the slaveholder's mode of abolishing slavery To BE REMEMBERED NOW AND HEREAFTER. The late annual meeting of the New England Anti- Slavery Society, held at Boylston Hall, was one of the largest, most respectable, and most interesting, ever held on any anniversary in this city yet it has not been noticed in any shape by any paper in Boston, excepting the Liberator I The prodigious growth of the anti-slavery cause cannot be hidden in this manner.

I. Examples of the power of mind over mat ter, and of the struggles of self-taught intellectual men bursting the cerements of ignorance, and, despite all obstacles, gaining a lofty niche in tlie temple of Fame are not wanting in every age and country of the habitable globe. Their names stand in bold relief on the historic page, and their pathway through the barriers of poverty, ignorance, envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitable-ness, fmlliant under every circumstance, seems in many cases truly wonderful. Peculiar positions of name, locality, and surrounding circumstances, often, however, give a factitious splendor to such examples, and they occupy a space in the public eye which others, under different positions, would have more justly and properly filled. Without discussion of this subject, I will only say that I was led to these reflections by the perusal of a review, in th Christian Observer, of the memoirs of Solomon Bayley, a colored man and I perfectly accorded with the sentiment of the reviewer, that nothing but education and opportunity were wanting to develope an order of intellect, which the most cultivated European might envy.

I truly wondered that a man, who had led such a life, should write as he did. I wish this narrative could be reprinted, and circulated all over the country; for I do believe that it would do much to convince the world that in the character of the slave, sanctified by the grace of God, are often exhibited traits of moral greatness, which the most exalted Christian might feel it an honor to emulate. The narrative is given in Bayley's own words, with merely the alteration of the orthography. And from this it appears, that he was born a slave in tlie State of Delaware but being removed by his roaster to Virginia, he became freed by such removal, and took measures to get his freedom established by the judgment of a Court of law. Two days before the Court was to sit, his master kidnapped him, and placed him in irons in Richmond jail, till art occasion offered of sending him off to the western settlements, to be again reduced to a state of slavery.

lie escaped on thft journey, and returned to Delaware, determined to try the'eause of his free dom with his master. But the latter, know ing Bayley had the law with him, made a compromise with him, and allowed him to purchase his freedom for a moderate sum. Bayley was an honest, industrious, and religious man, and much respected by all who knew him. He became connected with the Wesleyan Methodists of his vicinity at Cam den, and was considered by-them quahhud and called to become a preacher of the Gospel. He succeeded, by the blessing of God upon his industry and self-denial, in purchasing the freedom of his wife, and afterwards of his eldest son.

And his account of tlie affecting circumstances connected with these purchases, must excito in every man of hu manity, and still more of every Christian, a new horror of the multiplied abominations of slavery. Not having access to the volume itself, I can only give such scanty details, as the review I have spoken of can furnish me He begins his account iu a singular style, and as he had probably read no book but the Bible, probably examined both Testaments to see how he should set forth the statement, which however it may appear was not designed for publication. The reviewer says thlit by combining Nebuchadnezzar and SL Paul, he effected his purpose, and that the reader's smile at it will be changed as he progresses in the Narrative, for one of affection and re spect for the man who exhibits such intellect und religious attainment under circumstance of extreme cruelty and suffering, lie begins thus 4 Solomon Bayley unto all people aud nations and languages grace be ui-to you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus I will conclude my pres ent number with his account of his mother, who was a Guinea womun. 'My mother had tliirteeii sons and dattgh ters she served thu same cruel lauiiiy until they died. Then great distress and disper sion took place our young unstress married and bruugnt our famny out of Virginia into tbe states ot Delaware.

On the same night as above cited, my mother being in the house, they meant to take her: but site made an excuse to go out at the door, and ran and left her sucking clftld'and her two other children and her husband tny father: now it being winter time the child cried they therefore left it, and carried away my fattier and the other two chiidren.
