THE SLAVE.
Who is that drooping stranger Iherey
With brow contracted, as with care?
Why is he thus forever sad
Why is his poor heart never glad
Why doth his ever tearful eyo
Turn, as appealing to .the sky?
Why is he lost to yon far home,
In uncongenial lands to roam?
Oh! let him seek to men who bear
The name of Christian surely there
His griefs will meet a kindly aid,
' Will at the Savior's feet be laid,
Forbear! ill would the stranger brook
Thou should'st a Christian name
From his own home the man he took,
From Afric's coast he came:
And men who bear that holy name
Rivet the pond'rous galling chain!
But oh, a day is hasting near,
Oppressor, 'twill be thine to f-sar.

Letter from England.
The last Emancipator contains an interesting
letter from Messrs. Keepp and Dawes, agents oi
the Oberlin Institute, who were present at the
great meeting mentioned, a part of which we
here subjoin :
London, July 6, 1839.
Amonsr the first of our acquaintances, in Lon
don we are permitted to reckon George Tiiomp
son, a beloved brother,1 well known in both coun
tries as the unblenching enemy of slavery in ev
ery form and in every clime, and the learless
eloquent, conquering advocate of the Colored
Man's rights. He received us and our object, as
a pure, warm-hearted philantaropist, as a Christ
ian, and a brother : and we were at once at home
by the side of an able counsellor, and in the very
heart of the most cheering sympathies. And is
this the man who, when recently in the U. S.
was maltreated, published as an incendiary, hoot
ed as a spy denied the accommodations at t
public House, in N. York, which money will al
ways purchase even for a knave and in fact
' driven, from the country because he had the hon
esty, and the moral courage to tell the truth al
though he uttered but the truth, in speaking of
our sins ? Would that the fact need not be found
to blot anv nase in our country's history. But
there it must be found. For, by reason of his
splendid and effective efforts in behalf of his af
flicted brethren, George Thompson has become
the common property of the world, and whenever,
either his names or his deeds are rehearsed, then
and there too, must and will be told the astonish
ing outrage inflicted upon him in the U. S. under
the noon-day light of the nineteenth century, and
in a Republic, but scourged and cursed and in
danger of deathless blight by its bloody and re
lentless system of slavery.
Soon after our arrival we were invited to at
tend a meeting of the committee of the British
and foreign A. S. Society, convened to prepare a
circular to call a convention of nations, to be hold-
en in London for the discussion of the slave ques
tion. To the question, how will our American
friends feel on this subject, we gave our united
assurance that our philanthropists would promptly
approve and co-operate. We doubt not that y ou
will be prepared to come up to this meetingw ell
prepared to take part in its momentous discuss
ions. No citizen of the United States, who has not
mingled with English society, can know and feel
the just scorn and reproach which the atrocious
system of buying and selling, and whipping, and
hunting, and branding, fathers, mothers, and chil
dren, has brought upon our nation. The anom
aly, almost inexplicably revolting, that slavery
should make its strongest hold on earth, and prac
tice it deepest wrongs, its most servile encroach
ment in a Christian Republic, and even on people
on whom, as a whole, the principles of Christiani
ty, the point of slavery alone excepted, have a
more powerful and happy influence, than upon
any other nation, should produce deep searching
of heart, in all the churches. We are not sur
prised, though grieved, that there should be any
just occasion for it, to. hear, as we did this morn
ing, from the discerning wile ot a JVLethorlist min
ister, the remark ' the religion of the American
cnurcnes must be very low : now can your
members be pious, while they uphold a system of
such accumulating atrocities as your slave-sys
tem ?' 1 he ministers and churches in America
who hold a brother as property, or tolerate the
practice, or even apologize for it, should know,
that in view of all christendon they stand as cul
prits at the bar of humanity, and of christian truth,
however skilfully, they may weave over their eye
sight the web of sophistry, or of self-interest.
The time has come when the friends of human
rights will speak out, on this subject, and sneak
boldly,- nor delay to tell America, that she holds
on to her slave-system at a fearful expense ; and
to tell even her statesmen and orators, as well as
her Divines, that their republicanism is very
questionable indeed so long as, in all their rhetor
ical gestures, the blood of the slave drops from
' their fingers, and around all their pulpits and
communion tables, the tear3 and cries, and groans
of the slave accumulate. Would that we could
cast full upon the vision of our Seriate, at the
tiext session, the searching significance of the
question, often put to us already, respecting our
distinguished countryman, now in London, and
whom we all delight to honor, ' Is Daniel Web-
' ster an abolitionist ? How does ho stand upon
the slave question V Brother, can you blame us,
when we assure you that qur hearts are deeply
pained at the question' Horn does J)a?iiel Web
ster stand on the slave question V There is scarce
ly a subject in the Turkish Empire, or a school
boy in ail Greece, that does not know how this
frreat man stands on the subject of constitutional
iberty: and his skill and power in debate have
placed the eloquence and statesmanship of the
American benate, boldly in the ascendant, in the
eyes of all nations. And we are informed that he
is treated with disrespect in this metropolis of
great men, and great devisings. And yet who
among them all can tell how this republican sen
ator stands on the slave queslipn ? Were we ask
ed the question on the floor of Parliament, we
vyould weupingly hold up the fact, that when Sen
ator Preston, on the floor of the Senate Chamber
vehemently declured that ' if an abolitionistshould
come into South Carolina, if they could catch him
they would hang him ;' not a syllable of rebuke
for the offence proceeded, at any period of the ses
sion, from the lips of Webster, although in tho pro
fane declaration the senator from the South sport
ed with the rights guaranteed by the constitution
to every American citizen, and attempted to crush
under his iron heel the very soul of liberty.
Today, July 6, 1S39, has been signalised by
another organization in favor of liberty another
incipient measure in behalf of oppressed humani
ty another opening in Divine Providence through
which light and salvation will assuredly flow to
many millions, and through which, even, will
p:iss an influence that will beat powerfully on the
Bastile of slavery in the United States, and knock
at the door, and feel in the pocket of every slave
holder there. To-day, in this city, where benev
olent associations meet us, in very frequent
and splendid munificence,, has been formed ' A
British India Society, for bettering the condition
of our fellow-subjects, the natives of British In
dia.' We have just returned from the meeting,
at which we were exceedingly interested.
Lord Brougham, O'Connell, nnd Goorge
Thompson addressed the crowded assembly. At
1 o'clock, P. M. his Lordship took the Chair, a-
midst the joyous roar and the deafning plaudits of
the people. He gave an extended apo'ogy lor not
being able, in' the the opening speech expected
from him to do justice to the subject, or to his
own feelings? for he had been engaged the whole
of the night in a debate in the house of Lords,
and did not retire for sleep till 4 o'clock in the
morninQ-. In the early part of his speech, a tre
mendous clapping, nnd roar, and stamping after
the English . method in such enses, commenced.
But we neither, saw, nor heard any thing, in or
from his Lordship, at that instant, that was mov
ing. The moving cause, at that particular point,
was near the door of the spacious Hall. O'Con
nell had entered. And undulatory plaudits swell;
ed and rolled, till he had reached the patform and
bowed, and bowed again, and took his seat on the
left of his Lordship, who instantly resumed his
speech at the very semicolon at which he had
been broken on, by what, to us, seemed a very
unceremonious interruption.
British India is an empire of more than 150
millions who are wholly under the British sway.
' They are at present governed by a Company
with certain specified, limited, and chartered
rights.' Under the oppressive requisitions of this
government the people have suliered incalculably
' Whpn the .hnglish got there, there went out
a decree that all India snouiu oc taxed. 1 tie
Hindoos knew how to tax and took a sixth the
Alanomedans Knew Deiter anu iook a lourtn the
English knew best and took all, and would have
taken more than all, but they know not how.
That is, they demanded more than the land would
yield, more than the grain put into Sicea rupees
would pay. The people are now the victims of
the collector, and thev may be put into the stocks,
or driven from the soil as unworthy tenants of the
land on which they were born.' As the legiti
mate result of these government exactions, not
from the sterility of the soil, for the earth there,
even when ' furrowed by a wooden plough, and
the seed scattered with a careless hand, yields
three crops a year,' the most desolating famines
very frequently occur. They have become more
frequent under the hand of British, nominally a
Christian power, than under the lvlahoinedan
and Hindoo Governments ! Under the sceptre of
a Christian Queen and the broad panoply of a
nation in which Christian institutions accumu-
ate, more than 500,000 have, in a single year,
died from starvation, although the daily suste
nance of an individual costs but three farthings.
This state of things has at length aroused in
quiry. I he eloquent tongue and untiring hand
of George Thompson, have brought this subject
before the British public, sustained by the most
ample testimony. Deep feeling has been produ
ced, a powerful and extended influence secured,
and the bow of promise to the suffering, crushi:
millions of India, mozo just radiant in a low point
of the horizon, must assuredly, at the day which
hastens on its approach, spread its broad arch, in
all the brilliancy of hope realized, over the whole
territory ot British India. We were happy to be
present at the organization of a society, with such
an object in view. We can never express, upon
paner, our emotions under trie thrilling associa
tions which clustered around us, as we looked o-
ver the scene. The present meeting, as the re
suit of previous discussions upon the question of
iuman Kights: as the legitimate orlspnnsr of be
nevolent efi'oit bearing upon other points ; as the
blessed lruits ot investigations, and truth-tellimr
disclosures upon the slave question ; a new Soci
ety springing into being, as a younger sister in
deed, in the train ; but preparing to lead millions
out from vassalage, and in the commencement of
her msasures to act indirectly, but in the progress
directly, and with certain effect, and u mighty
power upon slavery" in America ; and to impart a
Iresh and blessed impulse to that glorious moral
revolution, which neither rests nor sleeps, till all
wrong is redressed.
jjoru urougnam, in nis speecn, spread trie
whole subject before the assembly. Other speak
ers touched upon different, purts ol it. Dame
O'Connell and George Thompson lent their ex
traordinary powers to enlighten, to embellish, and
to impress; while the delighted auditory very fre
quently gave them the liberty to take breath, by
their deafning plaudits. The particulars of the
meeting, in a London paper, will accompany this,
and we need not go into detail. O'Connell is a
Catholic. On this occasion he spoke in the sub
dued, but noble spirit of genuine philanthropy.
' Justice to India, ihe siillering, oppressed mill
ions of India are my clients :' &c his advocacy had
lor its object the opening wide the eiiectual door
for the spread and triumphs of Christianity among
them. How noble, dignified, kind, and imposing
the position, the Irish Orator occupied in this ad
vocacy. While the beloved Thompson was speaking,
and who is the main-spring in this concern, and
whose arguments and eloquence were all sweet
ened and pointed by a tender spirit, and whose
views were chastened and elevated by the distinct
bearings of this movement upon the Kingdom of
Christ on earth, our tears flowed freeht at the
painful and humiliating fact, that this same broth
er, when in the United States, was loaded with a
buse, because, in a Kepublic, and in the midst of
churches, and before a Christian people, he plead
ed for a brother in bonds, and sustained boldly
the principles of civil liberty. Our country and
our countrymen were strongly, though in a gen
tlemanly and Christian manner, rebuked in the
meeting j and we believe that the eight or ten of
us on the platform, from the United Slates, felt
the rebuke to be well-limed, while we were put
to the blush that it should be needed.
The Philanthropists in this country, now feel
that their direct efforts in the cause of Negro E-
rnancipalion are no longer demanded. But
their labors for the abolition of oppression, in oth
er forms and aspects in the British dominion
they will feel a growing interest in the speedy
and universal triumnphsof genuine abolition prm
ciples. 1 hey acknowledge their duty to Inn i
and that there too the bonds of oppression shou
be broken. And they also perceive that in the
success of their effort for India, they unavoidably
strike very hard, if thev do not cive the death
blow to slavery in the United States. In th
yearnincs of their benevolence for India, they se
led the channel through which they can, under
present circumstances, the most effectually oper
ate for tho benefit of the world. JNor is it lanati
cism or misanthropy in them to declare, that th
slaveholders in the United States may be ' starve
from their course when tho free labor of the 100,
000,000 of India shall compete with the uncom
nensatcd labor of the 2,000,000 in the valley of
the Mississippi, and on the plains of Carolina,
when the Bombay cotton when the lndigenou
cotton of India shall, in the Liverpool market un
dersell theirs. 1 hen, shall political economy con
strain them to do that which justice and religio
ask in vain at their hands to-day.' Let the eye o
liberty be sleepless ; the reward is certain, and
shall be glorious.
This movement for India, coming up as th
Jruil ot their successful warfare against the slave
trade, and against slavery in the West Indies
cannot so divert the current of feeling to a new
channel, as to prevent, or even to hinder the en
lire completion of the work in the Islands; or dry
up, or even diminish their sympathies' tor thei
struggling transatlantic brethren. JNo. Bntis
feeling on negro slavery and negro emancipation
is strong. British sympathy flows quick and deep
lor the imbruted colored man in the Unite
Slates, and for those who freely expend their love
nnd money and energies for his deliverance. At
the meeting for India to-day-, and in the full tid
which flowed out'for the Teuress ol her wrongs
even the mentioning of American slavery produ
ced the cry, hear, hear: and at the presentation
of the guilt of the United States for tolerating i
and of the prospect of its total overthrow there
the assembly poured forth their strong, hearty ac
clamation.
This movement for India is the commencemen
ol a gigantic moral enterprise. Its results, ii sue
cessful, outrun all calculation, even when regard
ed only as the saving of human life, and the in
crease of human happiness there : but especially
when you append the. influences which it must
produce upon the general cause of benevolence
It should recive the co-operation of every philan
thropist. The dear brethren here, who have com
menced it, we doubt not, will receive the hearty
sanction of our Americen brethren, and who in re-
turn for British sympathy, as also for the merited
rebuke ol the slaveholder, and the time-serving
course of his apologist, will send back a response
which shall cheer them in their labor of love. Vv
will look: lor its speedy arrival, rejoicing, mean
while, that the friends of Human Kights, on both
continents, may hasten on the accomplishment of
their glorious object by their mutual prayers, re
monstrances and appeals.
slavery as it is is received ana read here
with' great interest. The developement of facts
produces tho greatest astonishment, and is waking
up a fresh and mighty indignation against Amer
ican slavery. Many are saying that now we have
proof that O Connell and others have not laid thei
charges against the slave-breeders and slavehold
ers of America too high.
President Lord on the Agitation Question
It seems the vigorous movements of the Vermont
Anti-Slavery Society, and particularly the lectures
of Col. J. P. Miller, have given great trouble to
certain clergymen of tho Vermont Chronic
school. Having played "dog in the manger
oelore and since the Anli-5lavery agitation com
menced, it is passing cruel that they should be
disturbed' in the year five of pro-slavery gags, and
that the people they call theirs, should be taught
without their leave that they have duties tc per-
lorm in relation to the freedom of their country !
They raise a bitter cry about irreverence towards
their pastoral rights and dignity! If they do not.
others do understand that the only disrespect
shown towards the pastoral olhce is that ol which
they themselves are guilty. They are emphatic
ally a disgrace to it. Possibly the fault is not en
tirely of malice aforethought. We are sometimes
charitably inclined to believe that they are men
who have mistaken their calling, or been urged
out of their spheres by officious friends. Behind
the plough, or the counter, or a la Turc on the
tailor's high bench, they would have served tlieir
day -and generation. But in the pulpit they are
lost for want of size. They are like mounted
military officers, who, with both hands on the pom
mel, find it as much as they can do to retain the
saddle, without a thought of drawing the sword
and whose only word of command is Whoa, po
nev ! Wh o oa ! ,
If they were worthy of the pulpit, or indeed, if
there were stuli enough in them to make lull ized
men of, why did they not, at least as soon as sla
very began to excite public attention, take up the
subject in all its extent, and make thorough work
with it? Tlieir dear people are not idiots. Tiiey
themselves were capable of discovering the right
idea and the gospel side of such a question. Hav
ing established themselves on the truth, nomalter
what, why did they not, by full argumentation
and discussion, visibly make an end of all oppo
nents, bring their own dear people to an anchor
age where they would not be blown about " by
every wind of doctrine?" If the "leaders of
God's people " nre not able to do this, what are
they good for? But we have digressed.
lo turn our caption one of the ministers of
this sort wroto to President Lord, of Dartmouth
College, with a view to call forth something from
him, to stop the overwhelming rush of anti-slavery
lectures by which such nightmares as himself were
likely to be driven from the snoring churches.
Among other things, he wanted to know; first,
whether private or iay members of churches had
any authority to agitate the subject of abolition in
opposition (to the judgment and wishes of the pas
lor " the leader of God's people." Secondly,
whether itinerant laymen or preachers have any
authority to agitate within the pastor's jurisdiction,
contrary lo his will, &c. The answer from Dr.
Lord was any thing but the thing expected. Yet
as the questioner had promised its publication, he
dared not keep it to himself. Accordingly it ap
pears in the Vermont Chronicle of the 10th inst.,
followed by a reply of the questioner, in which he
presents himself in a very silly predicament. Dr.
Lord has long been, theoretically, an abolitionist.
In his letter he says : " I am as truly for abolition
ism as for Christianity, believing them to be essen
tially related." He stands aloof . from the anti
slavery organization, for which we have been sor
ry, like Dr. Channing, though probably not for
the same reasons. We wish such men to do more
for the slave. Still they do much. We rever
ence them for it. We rpverence them still more
because they do honor to the Christian ministry.
Does any rational man think that if all the pastors
were like Dr. Lord, there would be any war be
tween them and the abolitionists any of those
dreadlul onsets upon the " clerical order." No

Gentlemen, Seeing the very high estimation held forth
by the Agent in this section, and by those who had the op
portunity of trying Dr. Phelps' Compound Tomato Pills
and being under belief of the firm having restored healthy
secretions of the glandular system more than once, by us-
ina the Tomato Apple as a vegetable ; 1 have been induc
ed to try this medicine in various diseases. In the Autum
nal Intermittents, prevalent in this section of the States, I
have no doubt Dr. Phelps' Compound Tomato Pills will, in
great measure, if not entirely supersede the use oj tAL-
omei.. 1 believe that in diseased liver they are more
prompt in their effect, and as efficient, as Calomel I have
tried them in various other diseases, as .Klieumatism, JJvs-
DeDsia. Jaundice. &c. with the most happy effects. As
far as my knowledge extends, I have no hesitancy in rec
ommending them as a highly valuable Family Medicine.
lours respectlully,
THOMAS JOHNSTON.
From a gentleman of high respectability ; dated
New York, Nov. 6th, 1838.
To R. G. Phelps, Dear Sir : I have used vour Com
pound Tomato Pills, the past season, for the Liver com
plaint ; and am happy to add, with decided benefit : and
therefore take great pleasure in recommending them ; as
well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor,
as with a view of serving the cause of philanthropy ; from
a sense of duty I owe the public to bearing my testimony
in favor of this tho world s invaluable medicine.
Six years since, I suffered from a malady, pronounced by
the concurrent opinion of a council of physicians, a chron
ic inflammation of the Liver; and underwent a skilful
mercurial treatment ; being confined for ninny months ;
and at length mainly restored to a tolerable degree of
health, though not without an apprehension that I should
be similarly afflicted. My fears have been but too well
confirmed by a recurrence of nearly all the symptoms of
his dreadful malady the past summer ; when accidentally
I heard of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
erties and characters, and tlieir rapidly increasing celebri
ty, I resolved on trying them. Feeling as I did, a repug
nance to resorting again to Calomel, and after ineffectually
and unsuccessfully trying other medicines professing a
specific remedy for this complaint, I purchased a box of the
Messrs. Sands, Druggists.corner William and Fulton streets
duly authorized agents ; they presenting me, to accompa
ny the box, a pamphlet containing a specification, direc
tions, &c. I had not taken one box of them before I hap
pily experienced their healing efficacy and curative effects
ind now that 1 have given them a thorough trial, can
cheerfully and unhesitatingly pronounce thein the very
best remedy extant for any derangement or affection of th
Liver or Spleen, Bullous Jljfections, Palpitation oj the
Heart, or Dyspepsia in any of its forms : also as a good
family medicine, are the best with which 1 am acquainted
At my recommendation and solicitation many of my
friends and acquaintances have takon them as a family med
icine, with perfect success. I grant my permission to use
this as you please. lours truly,
ISAAC YV.AVJi.KX, J7S1 YVllIiam street.
From the Rev. I. Jv. Sprague, Pastor of the fourth
Congregational Church, Hartford, Conn.
Dr. G. n. Phelps.
Sir For several years past I have found it well to keep
in my family a bottle of castor oil and other simple medi.
cines, and no doubt ther timely use has been greatly bene
ficial in preserving our health, l or some time past 1 hav.
made use of your Compound Tomato Pills, as a substitute
lor those medicines, and have been so much pleased with
their mild, yet effective operation, that they have become
our family medicine, while others have been laid aside. I
prefer them formvself and children, to any other mcdicin
I have ever used to correct the irregularities of the stomach
nd bowels. Yours, &c. I. IN. SI it AGUE.
The following Letter, just received, illustrates in nn in
teresting manner, the applicability of this medicine In lu
mors and scrouilous swellings, and is another evidence

glandular and absorbent systems, and, in renovating the
constitution impaired by protracted disease ; although in
some cases it may lake considerable time (as it does for all
