THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
north to Boston, south to Florida, and knew many
of the first characters in the nation. His name
he did not choose to give while In this land of
slavery ; but readily named persons, in whose ser
vice he has been employed. For thirteen years
he has been seeking an opportunity to escape from
the ble&sings of slavery at last one offered, and
he escaped for his life ; and we hope that he will
soon be where the slave laws of our Republic can
not reach him.
I will communicate a few things which he sta
ted, to show what a blessing slavery is. He sta
ted that he believed he had known more than 20
persons that had died under the lash, or in conse
quence of their extreme whipping some in a day
or two, others in a few weeks or months, lhat
the kind-hearted masters had a teakel, by which
they would hoist up the object of their fury, until
they stood on their toes, thus stretching their
limbs and skin, then apply the cow-hide, and with
a few strokes lacerate their backs and cause the
blood to pour forth : that when nature was sink
ing under the lash, and the victim of their fury
could no longer utter even a groan, the infernal
master would examine the pulse, and if the vital
spring was yet whole, they would apply the lash
again ; if they feared that nature could no longer
endure, they would let down their victim to re
cover strength, and then finish what devils would
be ashamed to do.
As an evidence of the generosity of southern
chivalry, he said that often, when drest out in the
best style, he was nearly starved. As an evidence
of southern duplicity, he said that masters, who
had been in the cellar whipping their slaves as be
fore described, would come into the parlor with
smiling countenances, and attend to company with
all the attention and politeness possible : that even
the poor slaves must wash away their tears and
their blood, and appear with smiles on their coun
tenances, while their souls were wrung with in
ward anguish, as it was an unpardonable of
fence for them to show the least symptom of un
happiness or discontent.
Such is the honorable, high-minded South, of
which we hear such praise from those wh6 have
seen the happy slave, and feasted with the gener
ous master. Is this religion or infernalism ?
Yours cordially,
KIAH BAYLEY.
English Abolitionists.
Rev. Mr. Buckharn, of Chelsea, formerly of
England, in a recent communication to the Ver
mont Chronicle gives nn account of the Congregar
tionahsts of England, so far as relates to their
agency in the abolition of slavery in the British
colonies. Mr. Buckharn says,
The members of the Congregational body are
among the most decided and active of those who
engaged in the long and arduous struggle, which
lias issued in the -emancipation of the enslaved.
I am not aware that I knew one Congregational
minister, or one member of a Congregational
church or society, who was not an abolitionist.
In demanding the immediate and unconditional
liberation of those in bondage, they were,
so far as I knew, of one heart and one mind. The
Baptist and Methodist denominations, and almost
all the Evangelical parly in the church of England
were, I believe, equally strenuous and united'in
requiring lhat the "oppressed should go free."
The British Anti-Slavery Society, in seeking
the accomplishment of the important object which
it had in view, did not confine itself to any partic
ular class of means. Political action was exten
sively employed , and none had recourse to it
more eagerly than the dissenters.
To the Editor of the Vermont Chronicle : I
notice, in your last paper, a communication, near
four columns in length, signed anonymously, and
addressed to a Congregational minister, in which
I find the following question:
" Is it ever the duty of the minister of the gos
pel and pastor of the church, to attempt to alter,
modify or control the civil relations of society, or
to direct the political movements and changes or
the same, by anv other means than preaching of
the gospel and the extension of the leaven of the
truth in the hearts of its individal members ? "
This question is the gist of the whole four col
umns. The rest is mere verbiage thrown around
it. Now by publishing the question, and so
much with it that was manifestly designed to give
it point and power, accompanied by no disclaimer,
you have at least placed yourself in a dubious po
sition, on a single point, touching which I do not
recollect having learnt your views. Will you
therefore favor me with an answer to the following
question ?
Do you view it to be the duly of the professed
minister of the gospel to vote at the ballot boxes?

Baptist Anti-Slaveby Convention. Sever

State Baptist Convention, for Vermont, in
connection with the anniversary of the Vermont
Baptist State Convention, to be held in Brandon,
in October next. I have conversed with several
brethren, on the subject, and think that such a

Light in a Dark Place.
The correspondence on our forth page is adapt
ed to the meridian of Pennsylvania as well as to
the vicinity in which it originated. The despo
tism which is shadowed forth in the letter of the
"Rev. Zenas Bliss," is justly and nobly rebuked
in the reply of President Lord; The President's
letter is calm, yet fearless and uncompromising ;
such as might have been expected from the char
acter of the writer. Presiding as he does over
one of the oldest and most flourishing of our New
England colleges, his letter becomes doubly im
portant, and should be attentively read j but most
especially by those who will not dare to do so.
The dignified stand which he takes on the subject
of slavery and the rights of free discussion, con
trasts very strikingly with the course of President
Wayland of Brown University, trimming his sails
to the popular breeze and making petty territorial
districts the ' limits of human responsibility.' We
need more men of such independence, at the head
of our literary institutions. There is the ground
for profitable labor. In such situations men may
exert a powerful influence for good. This has
been peculiarly the case at Dartmouth college.
She sends out a nolile phalanx of young abolition
ists. We know their zeal and their intrepid advo
cacy of the slave's cause. We have met them at
conventions and Anti-Slavery meetings, where
they have been found foremost among the faith
ful. The present able and eloquent agent of
the Young Mens state Anti-slavery society, in
New Hampshire, is a member of ' old Dartmouth.'
He throws down his books for a season and goes
forth, valiantly to fight the battles of emancipa
tion. We have headed these- remarks " Light in
a dark place." From the recent indications of dark
ness in New Hampshire, we felt justified in doing
so. But we rejoice that the gloom is not univer
sal. Although Egyptian durkness may enshroud
her Legislative Capitol, we trust her ancient Hall
of learning will never suffer her glory to grow
dim. We would rather follow the clear-sighted
school boy as our guide, on the great question' of
emancipation, than trust even those hoary politi
cians, who are determined, as Pitt once said " to
be ignorant in spile of experience."
The pro-slavery legislators of New Hampshire
have been endeavoring to pass nn act, " depriving
all students in colleges and academies in that state
of the elective franchise. I hey did not succeed
last year. Whether they did at their late session,
we cannot tell. This is no doubt to wreak their
petty vengeance on the students at Hanover, for
manly, earnest and independent deience of liberty,
and their fuithful reprobation of slavites and mob-
ocrats. We happen to know enough cf the poll
tics of that state, to understand how the young
despots and demagogues finger the party wires.
But they will never terrify or awe into submission
the young Hanoverians. Venn, breeman.
Day of Fasting and Prayer.
At a meeting of abolitionists professors of re
ligion, providentially convened in Albany, in at
tendance on the National Anti-Slavery Convex
tion, and assembled for prayer, in the Session
room of the 4th Presbyterian Church, on Friday
morning, Aug. au, Itsjy.
After a season of prayer, Rev. John Cross was
called to the chair, and William Uoodell appointed
Secretary.
On motion, it was voted, as the sense of this
meeting that the cause of pure religion and con
sistent abolitionism would be greatly promoted by
occasional convocations of Christian abolitionists
from a number of contiguous towns, or throughout
a county or large section of country, for the sne
cial purpose of united and continued prayer, ex
hortation, preaching and mutual counsel in refer
ence to the Anti-Slavery enterprise,, to be contin
ued during a day or number of days, as circum
stances may seem to render desirable and benefi
cial. A brother having slated that at a recent Session
of the New Hampshire Conference of the Metho
dist Episcopal Church (Bishop Heading presiding)
the last Friday of September next was appointed
as a day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, in
reference to the subject of slavery and emancipa
tion ; it was thereupon moved and voted that
this meeting affectionately and respectfully recom
mend to Christians ot all denominations the obser
vance of the same day for this same object.
It was also voted that the Editors of all the re
ligious papers and of all the Anti-Slavery papers
in the United Slates be respectfully requested to
publish the proceedings of this meeting.

From the South. On returning from the Na
tional Anti-Slavery Convention, recently held at
Albany, I received the following characteristic let
ter. It is written in a disguised hand; and came
charged aocts postage.
" Augusta Geo., July 29. 1S39.
" iir, ihe enclosed was a toast that was
drank at a dinner on the 4th of July, 1839. Come
out here and we will put it in force."
Enclosed was the following scrap from a news'
paper, the author of which is probably the writer
of the letter, and may be " a northerner with
southern principles."
" By H. B Johnson. The Abolitionists : May
they be lathered with aquafortis, and shaved with
a hand-saw."
How new, witty and smart ! A fine sentiment
truly, for a Georgian, on the 4th of July ! How
well he must comprehend and appreciate the Dec
laration of Independence, and the rights of man.
No one will imagine the above ' insulting epistle
was written by a southern gentleman, some of
whom visit the JNorth at this season. On the con
trary, it was written, doubtless, by one of those
characters who do not hesitate to show their po
liteness and civility, ut the North as well as South,
by rudeness, meanness, profanity and vulgarity.
A few of them were on board the steamboat yes
terday, and attempted to insult Mr. Scoble, Col.
Miller and others. One of thern addressing Col.
M. said, " I suppose you are willing that your
daughter should walk arm and arm, in the streets,
with a negro." The Col. fastening upon the young
hero his large and expressive eyes, that made him
tremble from head to foot, said, " I had rather, sir,
that a daughter of mine should walk with a re
spectable colored man than with a person of your
principles." The young blood replied, in a rage,
" I will not (cannot ?) argue with you, but I will
fight you.".
A Ttisrnvprii. Atn rnlifious mpetinrr Inlnlv hplrl
- y O o V
in a certain part of Ohio so says an exchange pa
ner the following resolution was presented for
o t
discussion and adoption i
'"liesolved, That the taking ot timber without
tilft rnneoni nf tin tmaru in nmmnn nnr1nnro
called hooking, is not in accordance with the spirit
r .u n i ,.
Whether the resolution was passed or not, we
have no certain information. . We hope it was
for we should infer from such a fact, the growing
Unpopularity of the Ohio Fugitive Law fcr if
stealing timber is not a Christian practice, kidnap
ping men, who, in the exercise of their " inalien
able right to liberty," are in " the pursuit of hap
piness, could hardly be considered as ' in accord
ance with the spirit of the Gospel.'
Death of Rev. Nathaniel Paul. The decease
of this estimable and eloquent colored brother, who
was pastor of the Hamilton street Baptist church
in Albany, is announced in the daily papers of
that city. Mr. Paul was in almost constant com
panionship with us during our' sojourn in London,
a few yearR since ; and to his active and efficient
co-operation were we greatly indebted for the tri
umphant success which attended our anti-coloni-
zalion mission to Lncrland. He was a man oi
very good natural abilities, of a dignified carriage,
pleasing address, and persuasive eloquence. His
own missien to England, in behalf of the Wilber-
forcc settlement in Upper Canada, was not attend
ed with all the success that was anticipated, ow
ing to many unforseen circumstances. He was
among the speakers at the great Exeter Hall meet
ing which was held in London, iom, in opposi
tion to the American Colonization Society, and
made a capital speech. He was succeded by tne
eloquent O'Connell, who indignantly inquired
" Am 1 to be told that my talented and reverend
friend, (alludinp- to Mr. Paul,) who stood where
I stand, and became the advocate of the rights of
his own race the man who would draw the veil
of humanitv over the crimes of others is to be
persecuted on account of his sable hue ? '' Wher
ever Mr. Paul travelled in Lvrent Jiutain, he was
uniformly treated with great respect, and heard
with much applause. We have not had an oppor
tunity to take him by the hand since we parted
from him in London, and have been anticipating
a great deal of pleasure in seeing him next wee
in Albany. But he has gone to the other world
in the midst of his usefulness and the prime of
life. May it be our lot to spend a blissful eternity
with linn.
Mr. Paul was a brother of the late Rev. Thorn
as Paul, of this city,'whose reputation as an ener
getic and eloquent preacher of the gospel filled the
country. Liberator.
Colonization Society of the city of New
York. The seventh Annual report has been sent
us. We perceive that the constitution of this so
ciety declares " that' there shall be no slavery in
the colony," in Africa, and " there shall be no
dealing in slaves ly any citizen of the common
wealth withinor beyond the limits oj the same.
We have been informed that LJoctor Lroneen
from Monrovia, and now in this country, testifies
that Governor Finley dealt in slaves, or was con
cerned in the slave trade, up to the time of his
death. And we called last week upon Doctor
Proudfit, the corresponding Secretary, and Doctor
Bangs, one of the Vice Presidents, to give us some
light on this affair.
We have not the shadow of a doubt, but indi
viduals in the different colonies have been engag
ed, ditgctly or indirectly, in' the slave trade, nor do
we believe that Doctor Prondht or Doctor Hang:
will attempt to deny it. Zion s Watchman.
1 Ecclesiastical Authority. Animadverting
upon the refusal of the last (New School) General
Assembly ot the fresbytenan Uhurch to pro
nounce slaveholding a sin, Mr. Gerrit Smith
well observes :
"What right have they to present themselves
as ethical instructors and spiritual advisers who
have not the discernment to see, nor the honesty
to say that slavery is a sins Uommon sense re
volts at the attachment of authority or the mani
Testation of respect to any of the opinions of an
ecclesiastical assembly, that refuses to pronounce
as sinful the system which forbids marriage and
the reading of the Bible, and that markets men
women and children as beasts. Whether the re
fusal proceeds from ignorance or dishonesty,
equally argues the unfitness of those who are gui!
ty of it, to be our religious teachers."
Murders c, at the south. 1 he details o
crime in the shape of murders, duels, lynching:
fcc, occurring at the South and South West with
which the papers daily teem, are disgusting and
heart-sickening in the extreme. If disposed, we
could fill columns of the Herald every week with
such accounts.
We do not understand how it is, that in that
portion of the couutry, so extensively blessed with
an institution, emphatically denominated by a
southern member of Congress, ' the balance wheel'
and corner-stone of our republic,' and by ministers
of the gospel, as a 'divine institutin,' we do not
understand how it is, that a portion of the country,
'decidedly as moral and religious as any other
portion,' beside being blessed, shielded and forii
Bed by the 'divine institution,' should so abound
in personal rencontres, duels, suicides and mur
ders. One would naturally expect, that exacily
the opposite ot these would prevail. Will some
of our editorial brethren at the south explain this
for us.
There murders have become so frequent, not
withstanding some of them'are of the most horri
ble character, that most persons have ceased won
dering at them, and when they lake up a news
paper, to see accounts of them as a matter of
course. Zion's Herald.
What have we to do with slavery ? Mr. S.
Clarke, of Mexico, N. Y., one of the most devoted
friends 6f the slave, in a letter recently received
irom him, says :
"The captain of the slaver Clara. Samuel B.
Hooker, brought into New York by the British
sloop of war Buzzard, is my dear sister's son, (now
dead). Have I nothing to do with slavery?

Slave Capture. On the 30th ult. a Spanish

Mr. Webster in England. It is slated in the
Boston Centinel that it is the intention of Mr.
Webster to remain in London until the close of

will then probably make a toUr through England,

the continent for a few weeks, return again to
England, and be prepared to embark for home in

fifty members, and Messrs. Johnson and M rar
land of the Covenanters' church have recently de
livered lectures to the congregation there. In
writer gives his views on political action : " My
opinion clearly is, that an unwavering support of
men of good moral character at the polls, irrespec
tive of political parties, will be the most effectual
means of success. There is such a cringing for
popularity among our public men, that they may
soon be made at least to fear our influence ; for,
insignificant as we may appear to some, our weight
on the end of a scale nearly balanced may make
the other kick the beam." hman.

Melancholy Occurrence. Intelligence was received
last week by his friends hero that Mellon Chamberlain,
Esq., son of the late Gen. Chamberlain ofPcacham, had
been drowned while passing down the Danube in a packet
boat, which was upset by the current. It happened about
the middle of last May. The company consisted of fifteen
individuals five only escaped. The body of Mr. Cham
bcrlain was found the next day in the cabin. He had for
some time been travelling in Europe, and the intelligence
of his sudden decease cannot but excite the most poignan
grief in the bosoms of relatives and friends. Those who
knew him speak in no measured terms of his many excel

but it was expected to fall to 62 1-2 rents. The certainty
of abundant crops has occasioned their great decline in

south of the Kentucky line. The growing Corn and Cot
