THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
For the Voice of Freedom.
Mr. Editor :
I am one of those persons who are sometimes
denominated apologists for the South. I have
long thought that the views of the large class of
persons to whom this term is applied, are not fully
understood, nor correctly represented. I cannot of
course speak for others. I can only give my own
views. I sincerely believe that many of the most
ardent friends of universal emancipation, are now
looked upon as secret friends to slavery.(l) How
ever, I do not wish to conceal the fact that we
ought not to deliver over all slaveholders, indis
criminately, to the same condemnation. Nor do I
think we ought to judge those who have been
born and educated under the withering influence
of slavery, by the same rules by which we should
judge a man who has had his education in a free
state, and who has afterwards become a slavehol
der. Let any person read the New Testament
candidly, and he must be convinced that God judg
es men according to the light which they have
given them, as well as by their actions ; or in oth
er words, that He will adjudge to different persons
different degrees of punishment, who have been
guilty of the same acts of wickedness and that
too, because one was placed in circumstances
where he had greater facilities for knowing his
duty than the other. Indeed I suppose that igno
rance in relation to moral duties is sin. Men are
ignorant because they choose to be ignorant ; and
of course sin cannot be given as an excuse for sin.
But it is to be remembered that when a man re
sists the light of revelation, he gives evidence of
greater hatred to the truth than the mere son of
nature. Those who are born and educated in the
land of slavery are not in so favorable circumstan
ces for knowing their duty on this subject as
they would be if they had inhaled from their in
fancy the air of freedom.(2) I have often found it
necessary to apologize for persons whom I esteem
and love, on account of their notions respecting
certain kinds of labor, and on account of their
treatment of persons whom they have in their em
ploy. Go among the sturdy yeomanry, and you
will find many intelligent and worthy christians
who hardly know how to fellowship some of their
brethren who cannot admit to their tables persons
whom they employ to perform certain kinds of la
bor. They will tell you that they themselves,
their wives and daughters find it necessary to en
gage in the same kind of labor, which is looked
upon as appropriately belonging to a low and ig
noble class ; and they may te.ll you also, that their
daughters are compelled to labor in the families
of villagers, "where they are treated as belonging
to a lower rank, and where they must be called
servants, domestics, help, and the like, lest the
honorable title young lady should be made too
common. They will tell you that God requires
us to labor with our hands, and that they cannot
see how christians can strive to bring honest in
dustry into disrepute in a way which flatters pride
and honors laziness. These persons who breathe
the free country air, do not make suitable allow
ances for the influence of a perverse education and
fashion to weaken and narrow the mind, to stul
tify common sense, and to stupify the conscience.
And I am apprehensive, Mr. Editor, that it tins
sin of debasing certain kinds of honest industry
were fully exposed in our public journals, we
should see manifested something of that spirit
which.abolitionistsare accustomed to attribute sole
ly to the influence of slavery.(3) . Now if we are
to make apologies in the latter case, why not in
the former ? Surely if no allowances are to be
made, I should feel to ask myself, how can certain
persons, whom I now esteem as christians, be the
followers of Jesus of Nazareth ? I have found it
necessary to apologize for good abolitionists, and
must I not do it ?(4) I would here give an anec
dote were not my communication already too long.
Should there not be the same forbearance used
towards southern slaveholders which we find it
necessary to use towards those among us who
maintain that there must be grades in society,
founded upon the different kinds of labor in which
men are employed, and who assign those kinds
of labor which are the most necessary to the low
est rank ?(5) Yours, &c. H. C.
(1) As a general thing, we believe that " the most ar
dent friends of universal emancipation " will somehow con
trive to manifest their faith so openly as to exonerate them
selves from all suspicion of their being " secret friends to
slavery." The genuine abolitionist will be a " living epis
tle, known and read of all men." When we hear a man
protesting that he is ' as much opposed to slavery as any
body,' the presumption is that he begins to be a little res
tive under the influence of anti-slaverv truth. His con
science is awake. Ere long, it may be hoped, his ardor will
develop itself in open advocacy of the cause of the crushed
slave.
(2) The correctness of the general principle here laid
down, is admitted: but does the writer himself believe that
the most benighted slaveholder in this nation is so abject
as to be unconscious that slavery is, intrinsically, wrong ?
Who so sensitive to his own rights as the pale-faced South'
ron ? To assume that the slaveholder is unconscious of the
rights of others as well as his own, is to deny that he pos
sesses the common attributes of humanity. We will, for
tbe time being, turn apologist for the slaveholder ourself,
We believe him to be a man of like passions and suscepti
bilities with other men. Like other men he has been, and
therefore may again, be affected, converted by the 'foolish
ness of preaching.' If, like Pharaoh, he refuses to hear
the first message, let tbe truth be plied again, and again,
with all fidelity. Let the truth be proclaimed, whether
slaveholders will hear or forbear. Says Channing, " his
man's conscience, in revealing the moral law, does not
reveal a law for himself only, but speaks as a Universal
Legislator, He has an intuitive conviction, that the obli
gations of this divine code press on others as truly as on
himself. That principle, which teaches him that be sus
tains the relation of brotherhood to all human beings, tea
ches him that this relation is reciprocal, that it gives inde
structible claims as well as imposes solemn duties, and that
what he owes to the members of this vast family, they owe
to him in return. , Thus the moral nature involves rights.
These enter into its very essence. They are taught by
the very voice which enjoins duty. Accordingly there is
no deeper principle'in human nature than the conscious
ness of rights. So profound, so ineradicable is this senti
ment, that the oppressions of ages have nowhere wholly
stifled it."
(3) We do not know that abolitionists have ever attrib
uted this spirit of caste, too often developed in New Eng
land, solely to the influence of slavery. Doubtless slavery
has done much to encourage it, since free laborers are spe
cial objects of contempt among the knights of the cowskin.
(4) If wrong, " lot the righteous smite me: it shall be
an excellent oil."
(5) Whatever practice fosters the spirit of cast i, or dis
parages the true dignity of labor among us, should be re
pudiated by all, as a fatal blow aimed at the real conserva
tors of the nation's true glory.
Cornwall Anti-Slavery Society.
The annual meeting was held on the first Mon
day in January, when the following persons were
elected officers for the year ensuing, viz : Gen.
Chauncey Cook, President; Col. A. Foot, Vice
President; Joel Bingham, Cor. Secretary; J. B.
Bicknell, Rec. Secretary ; B. F. Haskell, Treas
urer; Dr. O. J. Eells, J. Sanford, Esq., Rev. J.
Murphy, Executive committee.
At an adjourned meeting of the society, the fol
lowing resolutions were passed, after full discus
sion :
1. Resolved, That the first principle of Repub
licanism is that all men are by nature free and
equal ; therefore, as citizens of a republic based
upon the natural equality of men, we will, when
duty calls us to exercise the elective franchise, give
our votes only lor tnose wno win sustain uie prin
ciples of impartial freedom.
2. Resolved, That it is of far greater conse
quence to the perpetuity of our free institutions,
that the inalienable rights of all men to liberty be
practically recognized, than the establishment of
any Bank, or the success ot the &ub-.treasury
scheme, or that of any particular person or party.
3. Resolved, 1 hat slave-holding is sinlul, and
no imaginable train of circumstances can change
its character.
4. Resolved, That it is no less sinful to buy
and sell native born Americans than Africans.
5. Resolved, That it is no less sinful to hold
slaves by heirship or marriage than by purchase.
6.' Resolved, That we cannot give our perma
nent support to those ministers of the gospel who
palliate or lustily slavery, or such as admit its sin
fulness and yet refuse to preach against it as a-
erainst other heinous sins.
7. Kesolved, lhat we cannot continue in com
munion with slaveholders, or those christians or
churches that, after repeated admonition, fellow
ship slaveholders.
8. Resolved, 1 hnt the responsibility of the con
tinuance of slavery rests mainly on the church.
9. Rpsolved. That our abhorrence of the prin
ciples on which the Colonization scheme is found
ed, increases witn every step taiten ior us sup-
port.
10. Resolved, That it is the duty of abolition
ists, so far as thev are able, to sustain the periodi
cals devoted to their cause, and in particular the
Liberator and the Voice of Freedom ; the former
as the oldest, most zealous, and most persecuted,-
and the latter, as the organ of the State Society,
and nearly allied with the abolition cause in mis
State.
The followincr was introduced by B. F. Has
kell, and laid on the table for further discussion
and future action :
Resolved, That we cannot sustain those Socie
ties which continue, after repeated admonitions,
to receive the contributions of slaveholders, know
ing them to be the price of blood.

We invite special and immediate attention to the
following from one of the Secretaries of the
Am. A. S. Society :
From the Human Rights.
ET'We want reports from county societies and
from all town societies in counties where there are
no county societies. We want to know imntedi
atelu the names of the Presidents and Secretaries
of all societies that have not been reported to us
durino- the vear. We wish to have the name of
some good working abolitionist in every post town
in the free states. If our friends will immediately
dve us this information, they shall soon receive in
return, jacts and documents with which they can
thresh slavery as with an iron flail. A great in
quest is eoinp- on, and has so far succeeded that
we venture to promise that all who will read the
result shall understand slavery as well as it they
had "lived at the South." Facts in regard to the
recent West India Emancipation are also now pub-
ished falsifying the predictions about badconse
quences. liut these documents cannot nnisn ineir
work till we know somebody to work with them
in each vost town. All letters with such infor
mation, to be addressed,

Danville District, N. II. Conference,
Mr. Editor, In compliance with a vote of the
District meeting of traveling and local preachers
held at Danville, Vt., March 6th, and 7th, 1839
I sond you the report of the committee on slavery
and the dointrs of the meeting on the same, for
publication in the Watchman. The angel of lib
erty is vet with the church, and as captain of the
Lord's host I hope he will lead her victoriously
through this mighty conflict. The freedom of
millions ot our lellow Demgs, me uueriy oi me
church and the independence of the nation are all
at stake. The destinies of unborn millions depend
on the final result of this most solemn and interest
ing contest. Many may fall under the powerfu
hand of oppression, but when Michael, the great
prince, shall stand up for the people, though it
may be a time ot trouble, such as never was De
fore, then shall they be deliverd. There 18
bod n heaven who sees the affliction of th op-
pressed, and hears their groaning, and will come
down and deliver them. From him is our help,

REPORT ON SLAVERY.
Your committee being of opinion, that in rfiis
enlightened age, and, especially, in this enlighten-
d nation there can be nocircumstances in which the
law of God will justify one man in holding anoth
er as property, beg leave to report the following
resolutions :
1. That we fully concur in the sentiment ex
pressed by the Conference held in -Baltimore,
April 24th, 17SU : " 1 Hat slavery is contrary to
the laws of God, , and nature, and hurtful
to society, contrary to the dictates of conscience
and pure religion, and doing that which we would
not others should do to us or ours. cste bound
Minutes, rol. 1 . p. 25.
2. That it is the duly of all persons, and es
pecially all christians, to seek, by nil proper means,
the speedy and entire abolishment of slavery in
our country.
3. That we earnestly recommend to our people
a hearty co-operation with the 'measures of the
American Anti-Slavery Society, as being, in our
opinion, well calculated to secure the desired ob
ject.
4. That We Will use our best endeavors to pro
mote the formation of anti-slavery societies in our
everal circuits and stations.
5. That we approve of holding Anti-Slavery
Conventions among our people.and of our preach
ers lecturing on the subject of abolition, wherever
occasion may require it.
b. I hat we consider Zion s atchman nn able
and fearless advocate of human freedom, and well
worthy of our support.
7. lhat as our success depends wholly upon
the blessing of God, we recommend to all our peo
ple that constant prayer be offered in behalf of the
laves and slaveholders, both m public and private,
and that the last Monday evening of each month
be observed by our people, (wherever practicable,)
as a concert of prayer for the abolishment of slave
ry-

The packet ship North America arrived at New
York on Tuesday last from Liverpool, whence she
sailed on the 7th Feb.
The Affairs of Canada, were a topic of much
nterest in the British Parliament. The Duke of
Wellincfton, Lord Melbourne, and Lord Brougham,
spoke with much feeling on the subject. The
former seems to partake no very little of the War
Spirit as will be seen by the following extract :
My Lords: 1 now come to the last part ot the
peech to which I have listened with great anxie
ty ; and I am happy to find in this speech what
was thought necessary on a lormer occasion, name
ly, a declaration on the part of her Majesty of her
firm determination to maintain her sovereignty
over her provinces in North America. My lords,
could wish that this declaration ot her Maiestv
had been accompanied by corresponding efforts to
enable her Majesty to carry these intentions into
fleet.
It is a trifling insurrection, and confined to one
part of the country ; but it is has been accompan
ied by an invasion and an attack upon the persons
and property of her Majesty's peaceable subjects
on all parts of the frontier adjoining the United
States, by inhabitants of the united states, and
for no reason whatever but because her Majesty's
subjects are obedient and loyal to her Majesty,
(Hear and cheers.)
Certainly, my lords, 1 should wish to see a cor
responding preparaiton made, and measures adopt
ed, with a view to carry into execution the inten
tions which her Majesty has declared, of main
taining her sovereignty over these provinces
(Cheers.) My lords, the system of private war
which prevails on that Irontier, is unknown m any
other part of the world. We read of such things
in the history of barbarian nations we read of
such a system carried on against the Austrian
monarchy, which lasted from century to century.
All these were wars ol barbananism against civ
ilization. Never were there any instances of such
wars between civilized nations, except in the case
before us.
I trust noble lords and the other house of Par
liament will look a little further into this very im
portant subject, and draw the attention of Govern
ment closely to it ; for it appears eminently ne
cessary that some measures should be taken to in
duce the Government of the United States to put
into operation some effectual steps for the suppres
sion of these outrageous proceedings. (Hear.)
Let them consider closely the consequences ol
that invasion, for it seems to me that if some steps
are not speedily taken on the part of her Majesty
to enforce the passage ol the royal speech ot whic
1 approve so highly, we shall find our provinces
of Upper Canada treated much in the same way
the province ot lexas lias been treated. (Hear
hear.) This is a point to which I beg to draw the
particular attention ol her Majesty s government.
I entreat ot them to consider this war as a great
national war, (hear, hear, hear,) to remember that
the hichest national interests are involved in it
and that we must proceed on a large scale of ac
tion, if we wish to bring it to an early and satis
factory period. (Hear.)
I have no doubt of the intentions of the Presi
dent of the United States in the matter, but, at the
same time, I cannot but feel regret when I see
American subiects comintr armed into our territo
rv, armed and provided too, with cannon taken
. . , r .,1 , . . u tt :
from the United Mates, ana Deiongingio me uni
ted States, (hear, near!! I cannot, I sny, but fee!
deep regret and much surprise, when I see these
American subiects publicly invading our territories,
and am told that it cannot be prevented by the
Government of the United States, (heat, hear!)
There can, I conceive, be no doubt but that the
civil government of any country is capable at any
time of preventing the collection of bodies of troops
within its territory, and their invasion of neigh
boring States, (hear, hear, hear!) But here we
see the United States sitting down quietly, and
taking hardly any notice whatever of the invasion
by its subjects of the British provinces, (hear, hear.)

Correspondence of the Atlas.
Augusta, March 25, 183S).
Our Legislature adjourned this morning at se
ven o'clock, sine die. . A few bills that liajl been
previously acted on were finally passed. The vote
of thanks to the President of the Senate was offer
ed by Mr. Belcher. In the House, Mr. Allen of
Bangor offered the vote of thanks to the Speaker.
So far as the two political parties are concerned,
our Legislature has separated in Very good hu
mor. The Loco Focos have carried home con
siderable bitterness of feeling towards each other,
growing out of their quarrels about the spoils of
victory. But few measures of public interest have
been acted on during tlie session. 1 lie measures
adopted in relation to the Northeastern Boundary
iiave been the exciting subject ol the session.
The Cumberland and Oxford troops, that have
been here for the last few weeks, I learn are to be
sent home tomorrow to be dismissed. I also un
derstand that a part of the troops that are now sta
tioned on the Arostook, - will be discharged in a
few days. A sufficient number, only, to bo re
tained to protect the timber that has been seized

Fires on the Frontier. Fires on our fron
tier seem to increase in a learlul ratio, r or the
last two or three Weeks there hnve been one or
two fires almost every night. Apparently they
are alternately each side of the line. Retaliation
appears to be the order of the night. We are
not able to state the extent of the burning, but
presume from the number of fires seen from this
place, and what-we have Heard, mat quite a num
ber of buildings have. been burned, the greater
part of them barns, and the most of them situat
ed in Champlain and Odletown. In the latter
place we are mlormed that a large house was
burned on Friday night last, and on the Friday
previous two barns belonging to it. Last Sunday
night one or two barns in Alburgh were destroy
ed. We hope to be able to give further particu-
ars next week. St. Albans Messenger, ISM.

Slave Case. On Wednesday evening, officers
Boudinot and Nash arrested a negro named Wil-
iam Phelps, claimed as a fueitive slave by Mr.
De Witt Kent, of Baltimore, who has offered a re
ward of $250 for his apprehension. This fellow
was yesterday brought before the liecorder lor a
hearing, and his identity being fully made out by
Mr. Kent, and Mr. Steward, from Baltimore, as
well as by his own confessions, he was delivered
over to his master. Conr. & Eng.

act of scoundrelly meanness and black-hearted vil
lainy lor which language affords no name.

Pennsylvania. The State Convention of
Montrose, in Northern Pennsylvania, was very
fully attended 400 to 500 delegates being pres
ent. Strong resolutions were passed, and spirited
addresses made. The Montrose Spectator says,
" The meeting has given a new Impulse to the
cause of freedom in this region. The audience
was large during the whole meeting, and exceed
ingly attentive. Although earnestly solicited,
none of the opponents came forward to defend
heir principles."
