THE VOICE OF FREEDOM,
American Abolitionists in England,
The last New York Evangelist copies from a
late London Patriot some interesting extracts from
the speeches of Dr. Beman and Dr. Pattern, at
the anniversary of the London Missionary Socie
ty. ,
The Rev. Dr. Patton rose to move :
" That while the aspect of the missionary field
in general is calculated to inspire the friends of
tne Society with confluence and joy, the bright
ening prospect of the East, and more particular
ly the Chinese mission, the unprecedented encour
agement afforded in the Navigator Islands, the
holy prosperity enjoyed by some of the churches
in the interior of South Africa, and, above all, the
peaceful and happy slate of our newly enfranchis
ed fellow subjects in the West Indies present to
this meeting the most powerful inducements to
zeal, liberality and exertion."
I have been deeply impressed with the scene
that took place eleven years since. It is exactly
eleven years to-day, since I stood upon your plat
form, a stranger, solitary and alone not alone, for
God, I trust, was with me not long a stranger,
for your sympathies gushed forth so warm and
spontaneous that they took away the sense of alien
ation, and the scenes that were spread before me
were so like to those that I had witnessed in my
own land, that though 3000 miles were between
me and my contry, I still felt my self to be at home.
(Cheers). Various changes have taken place
since that period. I have cast my eye round
upon the cloud of witnesses by whom lam this
day surrounded, and I observe the absence of some
. who then cheered us with their presence, Where
is Rowland Hill, that early, warm-hearted, stead
fast friend of this institution ? Where, again I ask,
is Win. Orme, that devoted and successful advo
cate and Secretary of this Society ? They are j
numbered with the dead. Affection would here
bid me stop and drop a tear upon their grave; bu
Christianity bids me rejoice that they are transta'
ed to a higher and holier field of exertion not to
.bask in indolence, but to labour with untiring en
ergies, and with the full expansion of their noble
powers in executing the will and the purposes of
their glorified Kedeemer. (Hear, hear.) 1 he
memory of the just is blessed. We thank God that
he lent these men to us so long, and we will thank
God that we hope to meet them in Heaven. O,
what a place is heaven ! God is gathering up
there all the bright, and pure, and noble spirits,
that have ever lived on the earth. It is growing
richer and richer everyday ar.d every hour ; and
next to tne attractions which the Lamb on th
i i . . i . i
mrone nas to my heart to draw me mere, is the
fact that in heaven if by grace I should go there,
end it is only by grace I can that I shall meet
there all who were worthy to be loved when on
earth. (Applause.)
1 here is only one part of this resolution to
"which I shall turn the attention of this vast assem
bly. It states various causes for rejoicing and
encouragement, and croes on in a noble climax,
until it says in these emphatic words, "and above
Jill, the peaceful and happy state of our newly en
franchised subjects of the West Indies." (Cheers.)
With my whole heart I thanked God the moment
I heard that slavery was over in the W. I. (Cheers.)
There is one incident narrated in the Report with
regard to the abolition of slavery in the West Indies,
particularly in one town, which I must for a mo
ment recall to your attention. The report has
narrated only part of the fact, and in my humble
judgment it ousfnt to be amended by putting in
the whole. We were told in one place, that those
who were to be emancipated, with the striking of
the clock at the midnight hour, received the boon
of liberty on their knees, wailing in a humble pos
ture before God, in deep, unbroken silence, till
the heavy-toned clock numbered 12. Then it
was, we are told, that they rose, and with one
iurst of thanksgiving sang praises to God. The
instance I wish to mention is this: just in that
.Jeep and awfully still moment that prececded the
striking of the clock, the voice of heaven was
heard ; God sent forth his thunder cloud ; one
vivid flash of lightning dissipated the dark
less, and one tremendous clap of thunder gave
heaten's echo thai the slave was free. (Cheers.)
I thought that a thunderbolt struck the tree of
slavery, and killed it. It may put forth a few
leaves: the old juice may remain in it for a little
while; but the tree is struck, (cheers) and die i
must.
Rev. Dr. Beman, on rising to address the meet
inff, was received with cheers. He said, the
committee have compelled me to say a few word
to this meeting, and perhaps this will be the prop
er time to thank thum ; for 1 find that my health
has been considerably improved since I began to at
tend these meetings. (Laughter and cheers.) I
came to this country, which has lone been vener
ated in my mind, in a very feeble state of health.
My friends in America wished me to go to the
Mediterranean to recruit it, but I was myself de
sirous to coine where 1 should hnd a common
language and n common Christianity. But since
I began to attend these anniversary meetings, I
find that we have many things in common. 1 am
in the midst of a people who hold a common type
of Christianity with myself; and not only so, but
whose bosoms are animated by the same spirit of
missions. I may be excused for saying, because
it may not be generally understood in Great Brit
ain, that the Board of Commissioners whom my
self and my colleague represent, would respond
most cordially to the sentiments of every speaker
who has stood this morning on this platform. And
such a sermon on missions as we had yesterday
morning, (cheers) would not have found a dissent
ing voice in the assembly we represent. I say
this, because . the communication now between
Great Britain and America is so easy, and we are
brought so near together, that you have doubtless
heard of the prevalence of errors and heresies
amongst us ; and allow me to say, that the length
nnd breadth of our errors and heresies have been
embodied in the sermons and speeches to which 1
have referred. These are our sentiments, and 1
ly have a common Christianity, and common
views of practical Christianity, but they have a
more enlightened Christianity than any other na
.i M. ...I 'L .L .,
lions in me wonu ; wnue at me same time iney
have an enlightened lioeraiity to apply that UhriS'
tianity. I am sorry, as an American, when
mention the word liberty, that I must make some
exceptions m relation to my own nation. - (Hear,
hear.) I am sorry to do it. But my reverend
colleague (Dr. Pntton) ha3 expressed my feelings
on the subject of British emancipation, (loud cheers)
and I would not have it understood for a moment
that we say these things because we are a great
way Iroin home, (daughter.) 1 have uniformly
said them in the midst of my own people, and said
tnem sometimes when the storm gathered around
tne hena of every .nan who dared to utter them.
T il . T . .. .
(Lioua cneers.) jn connection with the howling
and threatening of the storm, I have said, in th
language of a noble public man, " When the time
comes that I can not express myself freely on any
great subject of inoral3 and politics, 1 wish to live
no longer." (Cheers.) I have, as an Amer
ican, dared to say, that if I cannot be an abolition'
ists at home, I will go to Great Britain, where I
can be one. (Vehement applause.) INow, 1
know it is said all over the world, that the ne
groes cannot be free and exist. Why, they are
not only free, but your Keport tells us that in the
West Indies they are helping to snap the chain
that holds the world in thraldom. We have not
been inattentive to the movements connected with
British emancipation. A lew years since, a soci
ety to which 1 belongsent out two commissioners
young men of high standing and noble feelings
to investigate your emancipation, to see how it
works. And let me give you the testimon of one
of the first men in our country the Governor of
the state of Massachusetts who had previously op
posed abolition. A copy of their work was put into
his hands I mean the Journal of Messrs. Ihome
and Kimball ; and he said, when he returned it,
" This experiment seals the doom of slavery
throughout the world." (Loud cheers.) And in
my opinion, said Dr. Beman, it will be produc
tive of such glorious results. I should have said
more on' this subject, but my coleague has taken
the best p:irt of my speech. (Laughter.) We are,
however, representatives of the same society, and
Americans are very apt to think alike. (Laughter
and cheer3.) I venerate your 1st of August, and it
is saying a great deal, when I tell you that I ven
erate it as I do the 4th of July. (Cheers.) If
there were any means by which an almanac could
be so constructed as that those two days could be
made to stand side by side, I would have the 4th
of July and the 1st of August to come on the same
day. (Loud cheers.)
am happy to respond most cordially to these views
of Christianity.
I was particularly pleased with the message
sent out by one of your missionaries " Tell Eng
land and America" (cheers) I love to associate
England America " they are kindred streams,
to make the earth fruitful and beautiful." There
are so many things in common between this coun
try and America, that I wish to leave upon these
shores, before.I return to my native land, as strong
an impression as I am capable of making, that this
country and America can never war one with the
other. (Immense cheers.) Why should they?
There are no other two such nations on the face
of the earth that are so prepared to war against
the world, the flesh, and the devil, They not on-

The annexed extract is from an address recent
ly delivered by Emory Washburn, Esq. of Wor
cester, Mass., before the Mass. Temperance So
ciety. On the subject of a legislative interdiction
of the rum traffic, Mr. Washburn justly and for
cibly remarks :
VI .1 . .1 I1 .
i Know tnanne power or legislating to this ex
tent is openly denied by not a few in this age of
boasted freedom. And while almost every sur
eci oi ponce regulation is conceded to De within
the scope of legislative control, the sale of rum is
too high and sacred a privilege to be infringed or
scarcely to be modified. While the law mav re
strain the minor sources of corruption, or punish
as a crime the sale of unwholesome meats from
the butcher's stall, or adulterated drugs from the
apothecary's shop while the law declares the
drinking of ardent spirits a crime, if it produces
natural ana often almost necessary effect
may not lay its hand upon a traffic which does
more to corrupt society, to destroy the public peace
and multiply crime than all other causes combin
ed, lest forsooth, it invade the ' home-bred rights
of him who makes his gains out of the follies, the
vices, or the madness of his fellow-men.
i'he law may regulate the traffic by restricting
the ninety arid nine, but if it touch wsh sacrile
gious hand, the singlo favored monopolist of this
icensed branch of trade, the passions of a whole
people are to be aroused against it. The stream
may be ' regulated,' but you may neither check its
flow nor diminish one drop of its waters, though
they scatter pestilence and death through every
village in the land.
There is in all this a refinement in distinction,
that is beyond the comprehension of ordinary
minds. There are not a few.who cannot perceive,
Under a government designed for the protection of
all, the sacredness of that claim, which many set
up in behalf of the traffic in rum. Ihey regard
it as a separation of cause and effect, which nejth'
er -comports with the principles of common sense
nor of sound philosophy. If it is not right to
set fire to your neighbor's house, by what scale of
morals could it be justified that the torch which
is to light the flame should be placed in the hands
of a madman, that he might do the deed ? If I
may not enter my poor neighbor's dwelling, to
snatch the food from his children's mouths, or strip
them of the scanty raiment, that protects them
from the winter's cold, what right have I, in the
sight of a just God, to send into that dwelling
that which 1 know will bring nakedness and hun
ger upon every inmate within its walls?
1 know it is said that the act of purchasing and
using ardent spirit is a voluntary one, over which
the seller does not exercise control, and that it is
among those acts of personal free ageney, with
which the law has no right to interfere. And sup
pose we yield to this position, so far as the use of
wtiat is thus sold is confined in its effects to the
individual himself, it does not affect the principle
that the law may restrain the traffic. Not only
do the consequences of this traffic reach beyond
the individuals immediately engaged in it, but
they affect the most important relations in life,
which the law has created, and by the preserva
tion of which, society can alone exist.
The law has chained the destiny of the wife to
that of her husband, by bonds that death alone
can sever. It has placed the child under its pa
rent's control during that plastic age when the
character assumes its form for time, and often for
eternity, from the impress it receives from a mo
ther s precepts or a lather s example. And is it
nothing to that wife, or to those little ones, that a
husband is changed to a brute, and a lather trans
formed into a demon ? Is it nothing to society
that the hones and energies of that wife should be
crushed, or that those children should grow up in
ignorance and vice? Surely, if society may not
protect itself from that which weakens and de
stroys the fundamental principles of its very or
ganization, the bond by which it is held together
must be frail as the spider s web.
"Slavery. Whatever may have been its un
utterable wickedness in the West India Islands,
there it never was baptized with tne Redeemer's
hallowed name, and its corruptions were not con
cealed in the garb of religion. That achme
of piratical turpitude was reserved for the profes
sed disciples of Jesus in Axnerica, "-rr-landon Ec
lectic Review.
" The article from which, the above is taken
on whichever side of the Atlantic it may have
been written bas other statements of the like
character, i. e. untrue and slanderous. Never
in this country has there been such an instance
of slaveholding ' in the garb of religion' as that of
the Codrington estates in Barbadoes, held by the
(London) Society for the Propagation of the Gos
pel in Foreign Parts, Never'ln this country was
there any slaveholding that came sonear'the Eclec
tic's description." Verm. Chron.
We find this copied conspicuously in the Colo
nization Herald, the organ of the Pennsylvania
Expatriation company, E, Cressqn Sc Co. Of
course, we have no disposition to voJunteetr a de
fence of the London Society. But we shall be
obliged if Mr. Tracy will tell us wherein the "Cod
rington estates" affair differs in atrocity from the
case of the Presbyterian church at Prince Ed
ward, Va. and many other churches, which hold
slaves by devise, and support their pastors out of
the hire and the increase. Emancipator.
A Negro Catcher of the name of Hugg or
Hog, accompanied by some companions, as de
graded as himself, went a few nights ago to the
cahin of of two colored Americans at Repanpa, sus
pected of having run away irom the peculiar
institutions of the South, and colonized themselves
with their own consent in the free State (?) of
New Jersey. Hugg entered the cabin and seiz
ed one of the colored men, but his brave compan
ions were afraid to come near for fear the negroes
would shoot them, and the colored man not liking
such a Hugg, left him to find his way back to
Camdcm without them.
Nothing daunted, this ferocious Hugg procured
a batteau, a gill nett, &c., and proceeded down
tne river in the guise of a fisherman, and thus suc
ceeded in catching one of those innocent men, and
has lodged him in Camden Jail ; it is expected he
will be tried before Judge Rossel, United States
District Judge.
We are quite tired of having our territory in
vaded by these myrmidons of the South, and hope
the time will come wben the genius of liberty.

NOTICES,
. Size of our Globe.
It is not so easy as we imagine to be certain of
the earth s size. I here is indeed but one longi
tude, yet there are two latitudes, north and south ;
both begin at the eouator. The one extends to
wards the north, and the other towards the south,
as far as the poles, either arctic or antarctic. But
no one has yet been able to go as far as either pole.
rJut we know nearly the size of our globe, which
according to the best calculations has a surface of
9,2000,80 leagues, lhe water occupying two
thirds of that space ; so that what remains for ter
ra firma is reduced to 3,096,000 square leagues.
It is calculated that here may be at least three
thousand millions of men on the earth : but in re
ality there are not more than one thousand and
four score millions ; of which there are
In Asia 650,000,000
In Africa 150,000,000
In America 150,000,000
In Europe 130,000,000
If then we suppose the earth is inhabited by one
thousand millions of men, or thereabouts, and that
33 years make a generation, it follows that in that
space of time there die one thousand millions.

At the clnso of the exorcises, the procession of tlie youth

parents, and all othera present, will be formed, and move
through the village to the foot of Stnte-alreet, to a beautiful
artificial grove prepared by the young men, and there sit
down to the feast of Independence, spread by the hands
and fitted up by the good taste of the ladies. The refresh
ments will be supplied by the munificence of all such as
may esteem it a privilege to send in essentials or delicacies
for the interesting occasion.
It is the special desire of the Committee of Arrange
ments to see their respected and time-honored Revolution'
ary Fathers at the exercises, and at the table, that the chit
dren of the present generation may look upon the faces of
the fathers of then- Country and the founders of Liberty,
and be reminded to whom, under Providence, they are in

It is believed that a rural gathering of parents and chil
dren, brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors, on the

the spirit of patriotism, will be a more pleasant, and as
profitable a manner of observing the dav. as has been usu

The annual meeting of the Caledonia Confer
ence ol Churches was held at Burke, on the 12th
and 13th of June, inst. All the churches connec
ted with the Conference were represented except
Harriet. 1 he session of conference was opened
with aermon by Rev C, Wright, of Hard wick,
from Amos, 3 : 3.
The afternoon of the first day was occupied in
addresses and remarks highly interesting, by Rev.
Messrs .Scales, Clayes, atone, Uea. t nirbunks, and
others, on the present alarming desecration of the
habbath m our land. In connection with these,
the following resolutions were adopted.
I. Resolved, that this Conlerence regard with
alarm the general desecration of the sabbath in our
land, as threatning the subversion of our religious
nstitutions, and provoking the riffhteous retribu
tion of Heaven.
2. Resolved, that it be affectionate! v recommen
ded to the Churches composing this Conference to
nquire into the conduct and practice of their mem
bers as it respects the observance of the Sabbath,
and to adopt such means, consistent with the rules
of the gospel, as shall remove the sin of Sabbath-
breauing Irom our churches.
3. Resolved, that in the judc-nient of this Con
ference unnecessary absence from tho worship of
God's house, and the practice of visiting on God's
holy day ought to be regarded and treatod by our
churches as violations of the Sabbath.
4. Resolved, that it is the solemn conviction of
this Conference, that it is the duty of every mem
ber of the Church, to unite with a Bible Class or
Sabbath School, who has the opportunity of so
oing j for the encouragement of the children and
thers, and as a direct and powerful means of pre
venting the sin of Sabbath desecration.
It was reccommended to the ministers in the
County to preach to their people, as soon as conve-
lent, on the sanctity of the babbath, and its pres

Call for the National Convention.
At the last anniversary of the American Anti-Slaver
Society, it was voted to hold a National Convention at AI
bany, on the 31st day of July next. The undersigned
were appointed a committee to issue a Call and make
the necessary arrangements for the proposed convention.
In executing the wishes of the Society, they according
ly most cordially invite all such FREEMEN OF THE U,
STATES AS ADOPT THE PRINCIPLES EMBODIED
IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE AMERICAN AN
TI-SLAVERY SOCIETY to meet in convention at Albany
on the last Wednesday of July next, in the 4th Presbyte
nan meeting house, at 10 o clock, A. M.
The object of the convention is the thorough discussion
of those great principles which lie at the foundation of the
abolition enterprize throughout the civilized world ; and
of the measures which are suited to its accomplishment in
the United States, and especially those which relate to tho
proper exercise of the right of suffrage by citizens of the
tree states. All questions and matters foreign to this oh
ject will be cautiously avoided in the deliberations of the
occasion.
