The Leliigh, Mammoth Vein, Locust Moun-

of the firsrrlass, and are ackn edged by
dealers to have no superior. For furnaces
and all_stoves with strong droughts, the Le-
high coals cannot be surpassed, being hard,
enduring and very pure. For ordinary do-
mestic purposes. the Mamnioth Vein, Locust
Mountain and Council Ridge Goals, stand un-
rivalled ; burning more freely than the Le-
high, making no clinker, and leaving less
ashes and slate than most any kind of Coal
known fu’Ethc market.
As to the Trevertou. we can say to any
persons trying it, that if it, does not any
swer the recommendation and prove entirely
satisfactory, we will take it back again if de-

Bright beautiful star, in yonder ekv,
Thy pensive light in glory chines,
Far away where the eainted can never die,
Thou wanderelt as the night declines.
With a tender glance thou vieweat the earth,
War the mountain high and valley low,
Alike in its pleasure, alike in its death,
When all to thy beauty do bow.

Then contest a saddened glance ,
And who when gazing upon thee could wish
E’eu but goodness and truth to advance.
In the silent vale where the flow’reta hide,
lid its foliage sweet and rare, ‘
On a summer’s night thou amongst them glide
And enhance them with loveliness fair.
Then shine on then holy child of you heaven.
And shed thy glories o’er the earth,
’l'hro’it a beacon light to us mortals given,
To lead us with love to that perfect haven
Where the good shall rest.

thoughts, because they bevenot heerkeued

This is a terrible message. It was
God’s word of old by the mouth of his
prophet Jeremiah. The occasion of it
was a sudden eruption upon Judah of vic-
torious enemies. God sent the prophet
to reveal the cause of this disaster. The
prophet declared that God was punishing
them because they were selfish and unjust
and covetous, and because the whole
church was whelmed with in ministry, in
the same sins. These miscloiefs had been
glossed over, and excused, ‘and'lpalliated,
and hidden, and not healed. here had
been a spirit that demanded union and
quiet, rather than purity and safety.—
God therefore threatens further afflictions,
because of the hardness of their hearts ;
and then—for such always is the Divine
lenity—as it were, given them anoth-
er opportunity and alternative, he
commands them to risk after God; to
look for a sense war; to stand and
search for the old way, the right way,
and walk in it! -

I do not propose, at this time, to ex-
press my opinion upon the subject of
slavery. " I have elsewhere, and often,de-
liberately uttered my testimony. Reflec-
tion and experience only confirm my judg-
ment of its inexpressible evils. It is a doub-
ing master and slave ; a pest to good
morals ; a consumption of the industrial
virtues ; a burden upon society" ; in its
commercial and whole economic arrange-
ments ; a political anomaly, a nuisance,
and a cause of inevitable degradation in
religious ideas, feelings and institutions.
All other causes of friction, put together,
derived from the weakness or wickedness
of men, are not half so mischievous to our
land as this gigantic evil.

Can any light be thrown upon this
difficult path? Some light may be shed;
but the difficulties of duty can never be
removed except by the performance of
duty. But some things may be_ known
beforehand, and guide to practical so-
lutions.
I shall proceed to show The Wrong
Way and The Right Way.
1. First we have no right to treat the
citizens of the South with acrzmony and
bitterness, because they are involved .in a
system of wrong doing. Wrong is to
be exposed. But the spmt of re-
rebuke may be as wicked before God,
as the spirit of the evil rebuked.—
Simplicity and firmness in truth are more
powerful than any vehement bitterness.—
Speaking the truth in .love, is the Apos-
tle’s prescription. Some men so love that
they will not spread painful truth, and
some men utter truth so bitterly as to-
destroy love; and both. are eviledoers. A
malignant speech to iilavery will not do
any good ; and, most of all, it will not do
those any good who most excite our sym-
pathy—the children of __ bondage. If we
hope'to ameliorate tho condition of the
slave, the first step innit not be taken by
military base, without supplies, without J
lug there has been.

once i But as they cannot be, will not
be, for ages, is it best that bitter discon-
tent should be inspired in them—or Chris-
tian inqnietness and patient waiting? If
restlessness would bring freedom, they
should never rest. But I firmly believe
that moral goodness in the slave is the
harbinger of Liberty ! The influence of
national freedom will gradually reach
the enslaved, it will thereby inspire that
restlessness which precedes development.
Germination is the most silent, but most
disturbing of all natural processes. Slaves
are bound to feel the universal summer of
civilization. In this way they must come
to restless yearnings. We cannot help
that, and would not if we could. It is
God’s sign that spring has come to them.
The soul is coming up. There must be room
for it to grow. But this is a very differ-
ent thing .from surly discontent,_stirre_d
up from without,aud left to rankle in their
unenlighened natures. The time is rapidly

removed from a revival of the doctrines
of Christian manhood, and the divine
right of men. When this peutecost comes
the slaves will be stirred by their own
masters. We must work upon the mas-
ter. Make him discontented with slave-
and he will speedily take care of the
rest. Before this time comes, any at-
tempt, to excite discontent among the
slaves will work mischief to theta, and not
good. And my experience—and I'have
had some experience in this matter—is,
that men who tamper with slaves and in-
cite them, arc not themselves to be trust-
ed. They are not honest men, unless they
are fanatical. If they have their reason,
they usually have lost their conscience.—
I never will trust such men with money,
ncr place any confidence in them whatso-
ever. I do not know why it, is so, but
my experience has taught me that men
who do such things are crafty, and come
forth from such tampering unreliable men.
Conspirutors, the world over, are bad
men. And if I were in the South—and
I think I leave the reputation there of
being a tolerably stout abolitionist—J
should, not from fear of the master, but
from deliberate sense of the injurious ef-
fects of it to the slave, never by word,
nor Sign, nor act, do anything to exaite
discontent among those that are in sla-
very. The condition of the slave must be

one part of the community alone. There
must be change in the law, change in the
in the upper classes,
change in the middle, and in all classes.
Emancipation, when it comes, will come
either by revolution or by a change of
public opinion in the whole community.—
No influences, then, are adequate to the
relief of the slave, which are not of a pro-
portion and power sufficient to modify
the thought and the feeling of the whole
community. The evil is not partial. It

3. No relief will be carried to the slaves of
the South, as a body, by any individual or
organized plans to carry them off, or to incite
them to abseond.
The more enlightened and liberty-loving
among the Southern slaves, bear too much of
their masters’ blood not to avail themselves
of any opening to escape. It is their right;
it will be their practice. Free locomotion 1!

speed to a final safety. . If there were as many

in such feelings and purposes. Ten thousand
men. even in the South would feel and do the
same. A man who would not help a fellow
creature flying for_his_liberty, must be either
a politician or a Villain, . .
But all this is very different from stirring
up discontent. and setting on men to escape
b outside influence.
1 stand on the outside of this cordon of dark-
ness,and every man that escapes from it, run-
ning for life, shall have some help from me,
if he comes forth olhis own accord ; yet I am
not the man to go in and incite slaves to run
ay, or to send any other man to do if, to
rove it, or to countenance it; I do not
believe we have a right to carry into the sys-
tem of slavery exterior discontent . and for
this reason, that if is not good for the slaves
themselves. It is short sighted humanity, at
best, and poor policy for both the blacks and
the whites. And I say again, I would not
trust a man that would do if. It would injure
the blacks chiefly and especially. How it
would injure them will appear when I come to
speak positively of what is the right way to
promote the liberty of the enslaved: I may
say, however. that the higher a man _is raised
in the scale of being, the harder it will be to
hold him in bondage and to sell him ;_ while
the more he is like an animal, the easier it
will be to hold him in thrail and harness. The
more you make slaveholders feel that when
they oppress and cell a men, they are oppres
icing God’s image, the harder it will be for
it should come again as of old through .terri»
hle plagues on the first-born,.and by other
terrors of “1,1 should submit to the Divine
behest ; yet, so far as human instrumentation
is concerned, with all the conscience of a man
with all the faith of a Christian, and with all
the zeal and warmth of a philanthropilt,I
protest against any counsels that lead to in-
surrection, servile war, and bloodshed. It is
bad for the master-bad for the slave—bad
for all that are neighbors to them--bad for
the whole land—bad from beinning to end !
An evil so unminded and malignant that its
origin can scarcely be doubted. -
I believe, however, in the right of a people
to assert and achieve theirliberty. The right
of a race or nation to seize their freedom is
not to be diSputed. It belongs to all men on
the globe, without regard to complexion. A
peeple have the right to change their rulers
their government, their whole political‘con
dition. This right is not either granted, or
limited, in the New Testament. It iszleft, as
is air, water, and existence, itself, as things
not requiring command or legislation. But
according to God’s words. so long as a man
remains a servant, he must obey his master.
The right of the slave to throw off the control
of his master is not abrogated. The right
of the subject to do this right neither defined
nor limited.
But the use of this must conform to
reason and to benefit. The leaders of a peo-
ple have no right to whelm their helpless fol-
lowers into terrible disaster by inciting them
rebel, under circumstances that afford not the
slightest hope that their rebellion will rise to
the dignity of'a successful revolution.
The nations of Italy are showing great wis-
dom and fitness in their leaders for their work
’1 this very thing that they are quelling fret-
ul and irregular out break, and holding the
people steadfast till success shallsurelyerown
uprising revolution. This has been tue emin-
ent wisdom of that Hungarian exile—Keenan's.
In spite of' all thatis writen and said against
this noble man, I stand to my first full faith
in him. The uncrowned hero is the noblest
man. after all, in Europe! And his states-
maoship has been shown in this ': that his
burning sense of the right of his people to be
tree, has not led him to incite them to prema-
tni‘e, partial, and easily over matched revolt.
A man may give his own life rather than abide
in servitude, but he has no right to lead a.
whole people to slaughter. without the‘strong-
est probabilities ol'success.
If nations Were all armed men, it would be
different. Soldiers can die. But a nation is
made up of other materials besides armed men
it is made up of”women,aud childrennnd youth.
These are to be considered—not merely men
of muscle, and knuckle, and bone. And :a
man that leads a people has no right to incite
that people to rise unless there is areasoziable
prospect that they will conquer.
Now, if the Africans in our land were intel-
ligent; if they understood themselves ; if they
had self-Governing power ; if they were able
first to throw off the yoke of laws and consti-
tutions,and afterwards to defend and build
themselves upon in a civil state; then they
would have just the same right toassume their
independence that any nation has.
But doesuny man believe that this is the
case? Does any man believe that this vast
horde of undisciplined Afiicans, if set free,
would have cohesive power enough to organ-
ize themselves into a government, and main-
tain their independence? If there be men
who believe this,I am not among them. I
certainly think that even slaves would be
made immeasurably better by liberty ; but I
do not believe they would be made better by
liberty gained by insurrection or rebellion.—
A regulated liberty ; a liberty possessed with
the consent of their masters; a liberty under
the laws and institutions of the country;a
liberty which should make them common
beneficiaries of those institutions and princi-
ples which make us wise and happy—sucks
liberty would be a great blessmg to them.—
Fi'eedom,witli law and government, isu good,
but without them it is a mischief. And any-
thing that tends to incite among men a vague
insni-rectionury spirit, is a great and crue
wrong to them. .
If‘,iu view of the wrongs of slavery, you
say that you do not care for the master, but
only the slave, I reply that you should .care
for both master and slave! If you do not
care for the fate of the wrong-doing white
man,I do care for the fate of the wrong-doing
white man But even tho’ yon sympathy were
only for the slave, then for his sake you ought
to set your face against, and disconc tenauce
anything like an insurrectionary spirit. _ .
Let us turn,then, from these specifications
of run wnoxo war to some consideration re-
lf we would benefit the African at the South
we must begin at home. This is to some men
the most disagreeable part of the doctrine of
emancipation. It is very easy to labor for
the emancipation ol‘beings a thousand miles
off ; but when it comes to the practical appli-
cation of justice and humanity to thOSe about
as, it is not so easy. The truths of God, res-
pecting the rights and digiiilies of men, are
just as important to free colored men, as to
enslaved colored men. Itmay seem strange
for me to say that the lever with which to lift
the load of Georgia is in New York, but it is.
I do not believe the whole free north can tol-
erate grinding injustice towards the poor,and
inhumanity towards the laboring clasaes,with-
out exerting an influence unfavorable to juS-
tice and humanity in the South. No one can
fail to see the inconsistency between our
treatment of those amongst us who are in the
lower walks of life and our professions of
sympathy for the Southern slaves. How are
the free colored people treated at the North ?
They are almost without education, with but
little sympathy for ignorance. They are re-
fused the common rights of citizenship, which
the whites enjoy. They cannot even ride in
our city railroad cars. They are snuffed at in
the house of God, or tolerated with ill-dis.
guised disgust. Can the black man be a. ma-
son in New York? Let him be employed asa

'l‘here is scarcely one in which he can engage.
He is crowded down.down, down, through
the most menial calliiigs, to the bottom of
society. We fax them, and then refuse to al-
low their childlen to go to our public schools.
We tax them, and then refuse to sit by them

obloquy more atrocious than that which the
master heaps upon the slave. And no twith.
standing all this, we lift ourselves up to
talk to the Southern people about the
rights and liberties of the human soul, and
especially the African soul! It is true that
slavery is cruel, Ilut it is not at all certain
that there is not more love :0 the race in the
South than in the North. Tuey love their
property. We do not own them, so we do not
love them at all. The prejudice of the whites

dure to ride or sit with a black man, so long
as they do not own him. As a neighbor,they
