A word, sir, about giving people their liberty
before they are fitted to enjoy it, Here, sir, you
seem to be in the wilderness, as well as the Israel
ites. But alas, you have not like them a cloud to
guide you. God did not lead the Israelite into
Canaan immediately, because of their unbelief;
but he did give them all their fVberty immediately,
and executed terrible vengeance on Pharaoh and
all his people, because they would not let his peo
pie go. The emancipation was immediate .and
unconditional. God did not leave his oppressed
people to be fitted to enjoy liberty under the iron
yoke of cruel task-masters. He first gave his
people their liberty, and then undertook himself
to prepare them to enjoy their liberty. Here is
the perfect pattern which abolitionists wish to fol
low. Would not Mr. Cresson, bad he been con
suited, have taken a very different course ? would
he not have said, you must first prepare these
slaves to enjoy liberty, before you emancipate
them? God's thoughts, Mr. Cresson, are not like
our thoughts, nor His ways like our ways. But
is He not wiser than man ? and will you not learn
from His example to preach immediate and un
conditional emancipation ?
From the subject, as presented, it seems natu
ral to make the following remarks :
1. Colonies have been settled by good men, and
they have been settled by very bad men.
2. That apostate priests have been ready to
countenance bloody and idolatrous colonizationists,
and may do so again.
3. That very wicked men may be presidents of
colonization societies.
4. That those who preach, 'you must prepare
slaves to enjoy liberty before you emancipate
them,' exactly reverse the order which God has
established. He emancipates, then teaches.
5. The doctrines of the abolitionists agree with
the conduct and claims of God. They say to
slaveholders, as God did to Pharaoh, let the op
pressed go unconditionally and immediately.
Their doctrine is as old as Moses. And those
who resist this doctrine, may be found fighting
even against God, and have their portion with
Pharaoh and his host.
6. It is no evidence that claims are not just be
cause wicked men resist them, and are driven by
them to acts of desperation. Such was the case
with Pharaoh, and the oppressed were made to cry
out under his oppression. And the truth often
drives wicked men to desperation.
7. The same spirit that led Pharaoh to oppose
the immediate emancipation of his slaves, will
doubtless lead all his children to oppose the imme
diate emancipation of their slaves.
8. Mr. Cresson must be a very unsafe guide as
to facts and reasoning. And those who depend
on his statements will be very likely to be decei
ved, if all his statements are as incorrect as those
we have considered. If he be an honest man, he
must see with his fingers, and reason with his el
bows. And when public lecturers can throw out
matter so crude and incorrect, those who hear will
do well to examine facts, and reason for them
selves. KIAH BAYLEY.

Orleans County Temperance Convention.
Agreeably to previous notice, a meeting of the
friends of the Temperance Reform was holden at
the Metjiodist Chapel in Barton, on the 26th Feb.
1839, (it being an adjourned meeting from the 18th
Jan.,) for the purpose of forming a Courtly Young
Men's Temperance Society.
John H. Kimball, Esq. was called to the chair,
and S. S. Clarke appointed Secretary pro tern.
Prayer by Kev. Mr. Ohapin, ot Ureensboro . I he
Committee appointed to prepare and report a Con
stitution for the Society, reported the following,
which was adopted :
PREAMBLE.
Whereas, the improper use of intoxicating li
quors has been found to be the source of evils of
incalculable magnitude, both as to the temporal
and eternal interests of individuals, families and
communities, and whereas this vice has such a
fatal tendency in hindering the success of all the
means which God has appointed for the moral and
religious improvement of men, and whereas the
various measures which the friends of christian
morality have adopted, though not altogether un
successful, have been found quite insufficient to
give any effectual check to this desolating evil,
and whereas some more vigorous means are evi
dently required some system of instruction and
.action which will make a steady and powerful
impression on the present and future generations,
and will in this way ultimately effect a change of
public sentiment and practice in regard to the use
of intoxicating drinks, and thus put an end to the
wide-spreading vils of intemperance ; therefore
re3olved.that the friends of lemperance now pre
sent, form a Society, with the following
CONSTITUTION.
AnT. 1. This Society shall be called the Or
leans County Young Men's Temverance Society
Art. 2. The officers of this society shall be a
President, one or more Vice Presidents, a Secret
tary, a Treasurer, and an Executive Committee
of five, who shall be elected annually, and dis-
cnarge me uunes usually assigned to such ofii
cers.
Art. 3. Members of town societies within the
County, formed on the principles of this society,
and those who sign the following Pledge, shall be
considered memDers ot mis society.
PLEDGE.
We, the undersigned, do hrrpW nmu itmt
will abstain from the use of all intoxicating liquors
as a beverage that we will not traffic in them,
nor provide them for the entertainment of friends,
or tor persons in our employment, and that we
tlriJl fTble ways Countenance their use
throughout the community
Art. 4. The annual meeting of this society
a mo committee shall direct.
TIIE
Art. 5. This ennstitution may be altered or
amended by a vote of two thirds of the members
present at any annual meeting.
The Committee to nominate officers of the soci
ety reported the following, all of whom were duly
elected, vtz :
Lemuel Richmond, President ; Thos. Jameson
and Enoch B. Simonds, Vice Presidents; Sime
on S. Clarke, Secretary ; Geo. H. Cook, Treas
urer; Hubbard Hastings, Daniel Bates, Sidney
S. Hemmingway, S. 13. Colby, and William
Simpson, Executive Committee.
Voted that the Presidents of the several town
societies within the County become Vice Presi
dents (ex officio) of this Society.
The committee on resolutions reported the fol
lowing, which were taken up separately, and af
ter some very spirited and appropriate remarks
from several trentlemen present, were passed:
Resolved, That every young man, in view of
the benefits that may result lrotn his example ana
influence, is morally bound to give this cause his
prompt and energetic suppfirt.
Resolved, That the females of this County, in
view of the powerful and salutary influence they
may exert, and the blessings which they may be
instrumental in conferring on future generations,
are respectfully and earnestly requested to give to
this cause their united and persevering ellorts.
Resolved, That the time has arrived when the
friends of lemperance are urged bv a sense of con
sistency and a desire to do good, to seek after new
means, and employ new efforts for the promotion
of the enterprize in which they are engaged.
Resolved, lhat moral suasion, wnicn, under
the divine blessing, has accomplished so much in
this work of reformation, cannot be expected to
continue an adequate means to accomplish the
whole work, for the reason that few are left unin
fluenced who are subject to its power.
Resolved, 1 hat the value and importance ot the
temperance reformation are so generally known
and so highly appreciated, that there is no danger
n employing the lorce ot law to aid in the comple
tion of this work.
Resolved, That the General Assembly of this
State ought to be urged with a zeal which will
brook no denial, an argument that cannot be resis
ted, and a perseverance which will never tire, to
interpose the shield of a legal enactment to save
those who will be saved in no other way.
Resolved, 1 hat while employing the legitimate
means which we possess, we should still depend
upon God's blessing to crown our labors with suc
cess. A very appropriate and interesting address was
delivered on the occasion by S. B. Colby, Esq. of
Derby, to a crowded and attentive audience.
Voted, that we will use our utmost exertions to
promote the circulation of the Temperance Star,
soon to be published at Montpelier, under the di
rection of the Vermont lemperance Society.
Voted, that the thanks of this society be pre
sented to Mr. Colby for his able and interesting
address.
Voted, that this society hold a semi-annual meet
ng at Derby, on the 4th of July next, at 10 o'
:lock, A.M.
Voted, that the doings of this meeting be signed
by the President and Secretary, and sent to the
Voice of rreedom and the lemperance btar for
publication.

Temperance Convention.
In the absence of any official account of the
proceedings of the late Temperance Convention
at Woodstock, we give the following, from the
Vermont Chronicle :
The State Temperance Convention met at
Woodstock, according to appointment, on Wednes
day last. Hon. Jacob Collamer, of Woodstock,
was elected President: lion. Zimn Howe, of Uas-
tleton, Vice President ; George B. Manser, Esq.,
of Montpelier, and William Weston, Esq., of Bur
lington, Secretaries.
Delegates were present from all parts of the
State, and the business was conducted with much
pirit.
The leading subjects before the Convention were
the circulation of the " Temperance Star," and the
License System.
Lhc Vermont lemperance Star is published at
Montpelier, under the direction of the Managers
of the State Temperance Society. It was obvious
Irom the statements made and the spirit exhibited
that the Star would have an extensive circulation,
at least in some parts of the State. In some towns
arrangements had already been made to procure
and circulate at least one copy to every two fam
ilies. At a meeting of the Temperance Society
in this village on Saturday evening, subscriptions
were obtained for more than 1U(J copies, and a
committee appointed to extend the subscription so
as to secure a copy for every family. We have
a letter from the President of the State Society, in
which he expresses the hope that arrangements
will be made for placing a copy in every family
n the State. Let the friends of the cause take
hold with becoming zeal and perseverance, and
the work is done.
" Terms. The Temperance Star will be sent
to subscribers for one year on the following terms:
copies directed singly 50 cents each ; 12 copies to
one addrpss 25 cents each ; 26 copies do. 23 cents
each ; 50 copies do. 20 cents each ; alivays in ad
vance. Address George B. Manser, Montpelier,
postage paid."
In regard to the second subject named, the con
clusion, we understand, was, that Memorials to
the Legislature should ask for an Act repealing
the License Laws, and prohibiting the traffic in
ardent spirit as a beverage ; and that the act be
referred to the people for eanction or rejection.
We were unable to attend the Convention, and
have not sufficient account of the proceedings to
warrant us in attempting to give details.

BANK OF WINDSOR.
The undersigned, Directors of the Bank of
Windsor, aware of the difficulties they would have
to encounter in attempting to redeem the paper of
the Bank, and sensible, too, or the general preju
dice existing in relation to its solvency, have nev
ertheless, from the date of its suspension to the
present moment, put forth their most strenuous
efforts to acquire the means of taking up its circu
lation. We have seen with regret, for we have
been unable to prevent it, that great sacrifices have
been submitted to by the bill-holders. Nothing
VOICE OF FREEDOM.
has been more ardently desired by us, than that
the period might soon arrive when we could, in
good fuith, hold out to the community the expec
tation that the obligations of the Bank in respect
of its notes would be amply satisfied.
But many and formidable obstacles were found
in the way. These it is unnecessary to particu
larize. Some of them are well known to the pub
lic. The labors, the hazards, and the anxieties,
however, attending the removal of these hindran
ces, can be known only to those who have suffer
ed them, We indulged the hope that certain
claims in favor of the bank vould, sometime since,
have been in whole, or in great part, secured, and
that thereby sufficient assets would be obtained.
While our operations to such an end were in pro
gress, we could not have made any declaration as
to the ability of the institution to take up its paper,
without incurring the heaviest personal responsi
bility, and exposing ourselves to deserved censure
in case of failure.
But it is now in our power to break silence.
Having very recently succeeded to obtain possess
ion of sundry securities on which we rely for the
realization of assets, we feel justified in saying
that, allowing for those contingencies against
which no human prudence can furnish a certain
guaranty, the outstanding notes of the bank will,
according to our best judgment and sincere belief,
be eventually redeemed by payment in full. So
strong is our confidence in the certainty of that
result, that we regard it as our imperative duty to
caution all holders of said notes to retain them in
their hands for redemption at the bank.1
, It may be proper to add that the Bank Inspector
has been invited to examine the affairs of this bank,
and that, so soon as his inspection shall have been
made, an exposure of its condition will be given to
the public.

Correspondence of the Atlas.
Bangor, March 10, 1839.
With the close of the week subsided its excite
ment and bustle, and we have again a peaceful and
quiet day which no express nor swifter rumor
from the Frontier has disturbed. We wait with
patience, yet with some anxiety, the action of our
Stale authorities, induced by the proceedings ol
the General Government. Something, I may say
much, has been gained lor Maine by the stirring
events which have convulsed it to its centre. A
distinct, deliberate denial of the British claim to
possession and jurisdiction of her territory has been
made in a quarter, which will at all events com
mand respect a denial which must cause its spee
dy withdrawal or bring the question to a final
issue. VVc think, notwithstanding Mr Van Bu
ren's suggestion, that the next arbitration of the
dispute must be the arbitrament of arms. I have
little doubt that but for the perplexed condition ol
her relations with Russia, of her East Indian pos
sessions, and the volcanic stale of the Canadas,
England would buckle on her armour and con
summate her arrogance and bad failh by waging
an unnecessary war for an unjust and groundless
claim, first faintly insinuated, at length stated in
terms, and since persistPii in with nn obstinacy in
creasing by time and becoming bolder by resist
ance and opposition. She must have intended to
fight for it it necessary, or if she expected us to
yield to her demand, must have thought the Amer
ican nation dead to all self respect, and destitute
of the qualities which are essential to form a re
spectable national character. Former lessons
might have taught her better than this, and I think
have done so.' What course she will take under
existing circumstances time will discern. We are
not without hopes that Mr Webster will be sent
on the Special Embassy, If there is any dark
ness in the lintish Councils on this question, a
few rays from his enlightened and clear mind will
dispel it. It would be for the administration a
judicious appointment, and I think a well timed
act of magnanimity.
You will see by the Augusta papers that the
Cumberland detachment of militia were reviewed
at that place and addressed by the Governor on
Friday. Gen. Scott is there, and has received the
civilities of the Legislature and the citizens, and
Mr Allen, our Representative, gave him on their
behalf, an appropriate welcome to Maine. En
passant, I will notice the fact that Sir John Cald
well, from the Province, arrived here last night,
and as no one at this busy and speculating time
can pass through the city without having a specif
ic errand assigned him, so it is said that he carries
a proposition from Governor Harvey to our Govern
or or to Washington, the tenor of which is, that the
British may establish a road directly from the
mouth of the Aroostook to Madawaska, and so on
to Canada, yielding to them the territory north
of said road, which would be a small strip south
of the St Johns river, and about half the disputed
tract north of it, for which we are to have the free
navigation of the St Johns. This I presume is
idle conjecture, and not deserving any attention
but I mention it to show you that the quietest day
here is not without its rumor.
Augusta, March 9, 1S30.
The reports that have reached us that a regi
ment of British troops had arrived at Madawaska,
from Canada, were not, probably, correct. Infor
mation that can be relied on was received here last
evening, direct from Quebec, that the 11th regi
ment of Infantry left that place on Tuesday last
and that they were the first troops that had left Can
ada this season, for New Brunswick.
Maine Boundary Dispute.
As the difficulties on the Maine frontier are as
suming a more formidable aspect, we have gath
ered from various sources a succinct account of
the history and merits of the dispute. The dis
trict which is now called Maine at that time inclu
ded a portion of the province of Massachusetts
Bay, was acknowledged by the King of Great
Britain as "a free sovereign and indpeendant state"
in the treaty of peace of Sept. 31, 1783. The
second article of that trea'-y defines the boundary
line between the United States and the possessions
of Great Britian. It says " It is hereby agreed
and declared that the following are and shall be
the boundaries of the United States, to wit :
" From the northwest angle of Nova Scotia, to
wit, that angle which is formed by a line drawn
due north from the source of the St Croix river to
the highlands, along the said highlands which di
vide those rivers that empty themselves into the
St Lawrence from those that fall into the Atlantic
Ocean, to the norwesternmost head of the Connect
icut Iivcr. " Again, further on, it says, " East by
M'.'SBUJ fl- L
a line to be drawn along the middle of ihe river
St Croix, from it3 mouth in the Bay of Funday to
its source ; and from its source directly north to
the aforesaid highlands which divide the rivers
that fall into the Atlantic Ocean from those which
fall into the River St Lawrence."
The attempt to ascertain the line indicated by
these words, has given rise to the whole dispute.
British authorities place " the nortwestern angle
of Nova Scolia" at Mars Hill, about forty miles
north of the source of the St Croix, and then run
the line in a south westerly direction, through the
region enclosed by the valleys of the St Johns, and
Penobscot rivers. ' The United States claim that
the line beginning at the source of the St Croix runs
about one hundred miles north, across the St Johns
to the sources of the small streams emptying into
the St Lawrence. The land in dispute contains
about 6,000,000 acres, nearly one third of the state
of Maine, for the most part uncultivated but a
bounding in forests thought to be of great value.
It is remarkable that the boundary claimed by
the United States, has been recognised on several
successive occasions by the acts of Great Britian,
first in the proclamation of 17G5 establishing the
province of Quebec, and afterwards in the various
commissions issued to the Governors of that prov
ince. There can be no doubt that the lines desig
nated had a definite and certain existence.
This is confirmed by official admissions made
by Great Britain before her .present claims were
asserted in 1814 at the treaty of Ghent. When a
joint commissioner under Jay's treaty in 1795 pro
ceeded to fix the source of the fet Lroix, the lintish
emmissioner in several instances acknowledged as
well known and unquestionable the very limits
which the Americans now assign. British pam
phlets published before the treaty of Ghent admit
the justice of our title and insist upon "the impor
tance of changing the line and obtaining accession
of this territory ;" and accordingly the Biitish a
gents at Ghent suggest " such a variation of the
line of the frontieras may secure a direct communi
cation between Quebec and Halifax." Up to this
period the case was clear. But Great Britain
subsequently finding it to be her interest to run an
other line ; made the whole matter a subject of
a long negotiation, which was referred in 1S27 to
tne arbitration of the King of the Netherlands.
That monarch, confused Ly the multiplicity of
conflicting statements or lor some other cause, a
warded a kind of compromise which the Senate
of the United States in 1S32 decided was no de
cision of the case submitted to him, & of course not
binding upon the States. The negotiations which
have since taken place are replete with all the
subtlety and special pleading of diplomacy. The
British Government re-asserted its claim to the
whole territory, in the convnunication of December,
1S35. The plan proposed by Mr Livingston, then
Secretary of State, was a new and thorough sur
vey of the whole face of the country. After many
propositions and demands on both sides, a new
joint survey was agreed on in IsJb, with the under
standing that both governments adhere, it they
please, to the respective interpretations which have
been given to the various treaties. So far, then,
as the negotiations of the general government and
Great Britian are concerned, the business is no
nearer its termination than it was many years ago.
But the ground which Maine last year assumed,
presents ,it as one of immediate practical impor
tance, likely to involve the Union in war, unles.
bro't to a more desirable issue by the justice of the
adverse power. In March, of' 1S38 that Stale
determined, should the Federal Government not
appoint a commission of survej' by September of
the same year, to make such an appointment of
her own authority, and carry it into eflect at all
risks. Whilst the decision is pending, there has
hitherto existed a tacit agreement of the two gov
ernments that both shall abstain from acts of ex
clusive jurisdiction over the disputed territory.
That such is the fact is evident from the follow
ing extracts :
Mr Livingston, in his communication dated Ju
ly 21, 1832, remarks" Until the matter shall be
brought to a final conclusion, the necessity of re
fraining on both sides from any exercise of juris
diction beyond the boundaries now actually poss
essed, must be apparent, and will no doubt be ac
quiesed in on the part of His Brittanie Majesty's
Province as it will be by ihe United States."
In reply Sir Charles R. Vaughan, says, "He is
further toassui'e Mr Livingston that his Majes
ty's Government entirely concur with that of the
United States in the principls of continuing to
abstain during the progress of the negotiation,
from extending the exercise of jurisdiction within
the disputed territory, beyond the limits, within
which it has been hitherto usually exercised by the
authority of either party." JV. Y. Eve. 1'ost.

Characteristics of tho Work
It is hot a mere diary of events which hefcl the travel
ler, but contains thousands of facts dates, numbers, pricos,
&c., &c, which arc cither original or gleaned from sources
not accessible in this country.
Incidents, anecdotes and scones have been freelv intro
duc.cd; but only such as tend to make the reader belter ac-
quainted with the country;
The most perfect impartiality is shown to every sect of
Christians, and such details given of the various Missions
as will make the work equally acceptable to every persua
sion. Such sketches are given of the history of the Country.
Towns and Missions which are described, as rcrre to.
throw light upon their present condition.
The map is beautifully executed, and may be consider
ed original. Many important corrections have been madu
by actual observation, and the remainder is chiefly drawn
from original and unpublished surveys by British oflicers
and Engineers and Surveyors, to which the author wa
politely granted access.
The pictures are wholly new, and form an important
addition to our stock of oriental illustrations; no pains or
expense has been spared in these or the mechanical execu
tion. Five of these are on steel, showing landscapes of
Maulmein, Tavoy, Mergui and Sagaing, and a curious
page exhibiting specimens of 15 different oriental languages
A great part of the work relates to countries almost en
tirely unknown, even to the best informed persons in our
country.
The author from the important character of his mission,
his intercourse with distinguished civilians and experien
ced Missionaries, his deliberate stay at each place, his pre
vious familiarity with foreign countries, and his long expe
rience in the board of Missions, enjoyed Ihe highest ad
vantages for gathering ample and correct details for the
work.
Chapters on the mode of conducting modern missions;
or on the measure of success which has attended the en
terprise; on the almost unknown tribes in and around Bur
mah; and other important subjects are added at the close of'
the work, and must constitute no small part of its value.
The cost of the two volumes will probably not exceed
$f'2 50, at which price it will be one of the cheapest worl'g
issued from the American press. The publishers rely for
remuneration rather on a large sale than a high price.
A portion of the proceeds of the work are to be appro
priated to the Foreign Missionary Board.
(CyThc publisher of any paper, giving the above ad
vertisement three inside insertions, shall be entitled to a
