THE VOICE OF FREEDOM.
POETRY.
From the Rural Repository.
To an Absent Friend.
We ne're may meet again;
Yet memory tells of our early years,
When sympathy mingled our juvenile tears;
When love breathed a sweet enchanting strain,
And sorrow ne'er tortured our bosom with pain;
When our pathway the inscent of flowers beset,
And our hearts were untainted with grief and regret.
We ne'ver may meet again;
And gambol in joy 'neath the old oa'.i's shade,
Where our vows of.affeclion in silence were made;
Or gportively play on the flowery lawn,
And listen to warbling of birds at the dawn;
Or watch the wild bultefly sip the sweet flower,
At the scorching heat of the noon day hour.
We ne'er'may meet again ;
On the shore of the calm, unruffled lake,
Where the fleet canoe leaves its glassy wac
And play with the pebbles in childish pride,
At the stilly hour of evening tide;
Or count the stars in the sky above,
As they tenderly smiled on our mutual love !
We ne'er may meet again;
Though we parted in sorrow, in sadness and tears,
Yet we know not the pang of parting for years;
The last fond adieu that arose from the heart,
Left a sting in the bosom that will not depart;
It mourfully echoes where once v.e did roam,
And hallows each haunt of our early-loved home !
Havre de Grace, Ma. Sept. 10, 1839.

Letter of Elizur Wright.
Boston, Sept. 24, 1S39.
Dear Brother Codding, I am sorry to say 1
cannot be with the young men of Me. on the first
of October only inspirit. I need not state the
reasons nothing short of an impossibility should
deprive me of the pleasure of greeting you and
Remond arid scores of other friends, both known
and unknown to the outward eye, in the town en
deared to us as the home of the father of Maine
abolitionism. I hope one or two from this quar
ter will be with you who will more than com
pensate for my absence.
Bid the young men of Maine be of good cour
age in this blessed cause. It is not theirs . They
are but auxiliaries in it of One whu moves sys
tems. He has evidently managed and guided
the work from the first. We mortals who have
tirdily enlisted at his earthquake calls, do but
blow a little at the great anti-slavery fire-brands
which He ever and anon, throws down into this
niiltw nntinn. It was He that about a score of
years ago put a live coal into the heart of Benja
min Lundy, as the chained cnfTle parsed him in
the streets of Wheeling, which no floods could
drown, and which made him truly " the Genius ol
Universal Emancipation." That most self-denying
man has gone to his rest, but what a flame
has he lived to see! Think of the Providence
which sent Garrison to Baltimore, there to lash
with scorpions, Francis Todd, his own townsman,
for freighting his vessel with slaves to be im
prisoned and to wake up the sympathies of such
men as Arthur Tappan ! Think of the Provi
dence which sent Theodore D. Weld, to Alaba
ma to ask James G. Birncy by what right he held
his slaves, and thus to rouse a conscience which
after vainly seeking rest in Colonization, at las!
colonized its owner into the front rank of the abo
lition host: and of the Providence which sent the
same Theodore D. Weld to be a student in Lane
Seminary, to kindle a fire which the ablest of
Ahithophels could not smother, and which, by his
very attempts to smother it, exploded and threw
the burning brands over the tops of the Alleglia
nies! One of these brands, you will reccollect,
fell near Nashville, Tennessee. What commo
tion of the elements, as if iEtna had boiled over
in the sea ! Law was not enough. Up rose the
foundations of society church and slate and in
conclave more potent and awful than could be cre
ated by law, declared that no man who believed
slaveholding a sin should sell "Cottage Bibles"
in Tennessee. It was not without cause that
slavery gnashed its teeth and blasphemed at the
prayer of Amos Dresser. Little wotted the high
sheriff of Nashville how those stripes would re
echo! Think again of the Providence which
made use of a remiss Post Master in New York
to send a mass of Anti-Slavery publications all at
once into the Post Office of Charleston, whereby
it was demonstated that the Federal Government
is but the tool of the slave power in all things
pertaining to slavery. By that bonfire thousands
were converted to abolitonism upon whom the
same papers in any other way would have little or
no effect; Tho' God tvtnptctli no man to e il he
doubtless pften causes men to expose the evil that
is in them. Think then of the Providence thai
has year after year brought out the slaveholding
heart on the floor of Congress. What demoniac
demonstrations at the Ithuriel touch of our peti
tions! Why, the prudence of a child should
have served to teach the south policy of disarm
ing us, by granting the comparatively trifling ob
ject of our prayers. Had they done it, the na
tion would probably have been put to sleep for a
century and slavery would have made good the
number of its victims in n month. God did no:
permit them so to play the hypocrite and now ii
is too late. He, Oh young men of Maine, nerv
ed the heart of your plorious Lovejoy to die n
Martyr to LIBERTY and for LAW. He has
formed mntryr spirils even among the daughter
of proud South Carolina, and who have planted
arrows in the conscience of his nation. ' lie
brought to our shores, when the friends of the
slave were weak and few, that most wonder
ful man of this or any age, George Thompson,
pourinsf from his eloquent lips the news that
Britain had sealed the death of s'avery throughout
an empire on which the sun never sets. And
with what sublimity of wisdom has He conducted
that whole glorious process in the British Colo
nies, which tho moles of our Muckrake philoso
phy were pleased to call an "experiment!" It
was the other day that He, in the most unexpec
ted manner, 8Tit us John Scoble, to tb in three
weeks the- work of an age. And now this Gulf
Stream has floated on our shores the noble Jingia
and his brethren la chains.. The spirit of slave
ry sits mute or mutters inatidibly, as if conscious
of its meanness. The acclaim of human sympa
thy goes up on God's original plan. The nation
feels for Jingua, and let enslaved law do what it
will, 'ood will brni": out of it eood to the slave.
Time and paper would fail me to give a bare cat
alogue of the remarkable instances during the
last five years in which God lias made tho ene
mies of this cause do more for it there i's friends.
Will he now forsake it ? He who weighs the
mountain in scales ? My hope is not in the unity
of abolitionists.. It may be, lor aught 1 know,
God's design to split that unity nil to shivers, that
He may drive our principles into all the laby
rintliine compartments, nooks and crannies of
opinion, into which society, from the very nature
of man, is divided. The end of our organizations
seems to be to work up and apply the riffht ma
ch inery, the materials of excitement which the
providence of God Iroin time to time present us.
This great operation is going on marvellously.
It will never cease for scant of materials. God
grant that they may soon cease for want of nn
ouiect :
Let ine just say to the young men of Maine,
that among the most wonderful and glorious of
God's materials, is, the "Testimony of a thousand
witnesses." Such a work could not have been
prepared under the ordinary impulses which covem
men. My faith is like a rock every time I look
at it. The irresistable conviction seizes me that
God would not have carried a man through such
a labor, unless He designed to prostrate slavery
by it. It will be our fault if lie does not.
It rejoices me that the abolitionists of Maine
have their eyes so clearly open to to their political
responsibilities. 1 heir abolitionism is of the prac
tical sort. It only needs to grow, and your flour
ishing state, which by its 300 miles of sea "coast is
made next door neighbor to all the South, will be
to slavery like the atmosphere of June to a bela
ted snow storm.
With a fervent God-speed to your Convention
premise your friend on fellow laborer for the slave.

From the Emancipator.
The Mission Colony.
One of the most surprising delusions we have
ever known to prevail among an upright and in
telligent people, is that which lias been so exten
sively cherished by the American churches, in
supposing that a trading, speculating, land-grasp-
ing and irresponsible settlement ol Americans on
the coast of Africa could exert a beneficial influ
ence on the cause of Missions. We are glad to
see that delusion beginning to yield to the sad re
sults ot experience. I he American Board at Bos
ton, has become convinced that the best fields for
missions are those most remote from the colonies.
In their annual report, reported last month, they
say of their West Africnn missions:
' It is of great importance lo the well-being of
thj native tribes of Western Africa, that the
strongest possible religious influence should bo
thrown into the colonics, which are rising into
existence and power upon their borders. Other
wise the fate of these trihes, notwithstanding the
sameness of their color with that of the colonists,
will, at no distant period, he that of the natirr
tribes of South A frica and of our own country. 1 1
would seem lobe the wisest course to assume the
permanencp of those colonies, and their future as
cendency over the native tribes, as unquestionable
facts, and to form our plans accordingly. It will
be impossible to conduct, missions happily and
prosperously in the immediate vicinity of the col
onies, unless the influence rf I he gospel is predomi
nant in them : and their relations with the native
communities will necessarily extend and become
more and more ituiminte. Of late years it has
seemed to the Committee that tiie field, which
specially invites our attention, is remote from the
colonics, perhaps an;ong the Ashnritce.', and es
pecially up the Niger; while at the same time, it
will be desirable for us to have a mission of trnid
erate :-izc at Cape Pultuns. Indeed, we could
hardly maintain an effii icnt mission in the upper
countries of the Niger, without having a station
at Cape Paltnas, and another somewhere on the
Gold Const, to serve as places of rest and accli
mation, and as intermediate ports of communica
tion.' The Baptist mission in West Afiica is also be
coming deeply impressed with the necessity of
standing entirely aloof Irom the colony, if they wish
to secure such a degree of confidence from the na
tives as is necessary In the success of their benev
olent designs. The Baptist Advocate, of Oct. 5,
contains a letter from Mr. Hilary Tongue, a lead
ing colonist, and lately the acting governor of the
republic (!) of Bassa Cove, and to the Rev. S. H.
Cone, of this city, dated Aug. 12, in which, after
referring to the recent war. and its apprehended
results in impeding the work of the mission nl
Bassa Cove, he says :
' Such has been the wary and prudent course
pursued by our missionaries, that in the minds of
the natives, they are ' hardly identified with the
colcnisls. Though I have no doubt they feel n deep
c.incern for t'.ie happiness and prosperity of the
colony, ye t they have prudently manifestiid so lit
tle connexion with it, and attended so exclusively
and incessantly to llicir appropriate duties, that
the natives regard them as Iniving an object and
interest altogether distinct from those of the colon"
In addition, their just mid equitable dealing in all
their intercourse u ith the natives, their tender pa
ternal treatment of the children under their charge,
and their success in instructing them, have con
spired in awakening in the minds of the chiefs and
head men, an appreciation of the advantages of
having missionaries among them, and thu3 of
throwing n shield of protection around them. I
have riot heaid from them Since tho battle, but I
have not the smallest apprehension for their per
sonal safety, nor fur the continuance of their ope
rations.' We wish our readers to observe, not only the
fact, here strongly expressed, that it has been ne
cessary for the missionaries lo pursue ' a wary
and prudent course,' in order thas they might not
bo ' identified vviih the colonists,' in the ininds of
the natives; tut also the specified grounds of the
contrast which 1ms so decidedly distinguished and
disconnected them from the colony.' The reasons
why they ore not identified with the colonists are,
that they have ' so little connexion with it,' that
they ' attend so exclusively to their appropriate
duties,' their 'JUST AND EQUITABLE
DEALINGS,' and their 'tender and paternal
care of the children.' It i not the presence and
force of tho colony which has protected the mis
sionaries from the natives, but it is there own
prudent disconnection with it, that has thrown "a
shield of protection around them" against the dan
gers caused by the colony.
The Methodist mission has been offiieially de
clared to be identified with colonization, nnd de
pendant on it. So entirely infatuated have its
managers been, that the editor of their principal
organ has profanely cast off the protection of Je
sus Christ, and rested the divine institution of
missions upon the weak invention of human pride
and prejudice, openly proclaiming that the Metho
dist mission stands or falls with the colony ! Yet
we find even the Methodist beginning to find the
superiority of direct efforts. The fjllowing let
ter, from the Rev. Mr. Storker, since deceased,
ought to open the eyes of those Methodists who
love, truly love the cause of missions, more than
they love slavery and prejudice. Mr. Storker
was a missionary near the Maryland colony at
Cape Palrnas, and his testimony sets at rest the
ridiculous notion that the American colonists
will be better received by the natives, or conduct
better towards them, because both parties are of
the same complextion. Brother Storker cries
from the grave to the Methodist church, "WE
MUST HAVE WHITE MISSIONARIES
AND TEACHERS."
From the Crislian Advocate and Journal Oct. 4.
I have many applications lo take native boys.
1 have taken two; one is about twelve years of
age, and the other seven.- The oldest when he
came could not speak a word of English. He is
notv become my interpreter, can read, and spell,
and write his own American name in a good hand.
I have refused one. I had two brought me ihis
week, nnd have taken them. I cannot refuse
them if I have to support them out of my own sal
ary. If I remain here you must permit me to ex
tend my operations among the heathen. I think,
as soon as the rains are over, to go as far as I can
into the interior. I have hear many flying re
ports respecting the tribes, but by the help of the
Lord I intend to see for myself, and not trust to
hearsay. If you intend to do any thing among
them, to any extent, you must have white mis
sionahiES and teachers. There isa great amount
of hostility in the heart of the native ogainst a
colored man, and they will not pay that respect
to them that they will to a white man. I have
on my hands nt present work enough for two. I
must have help from some place, or I shall be
obliged to curtail my plans.
Respectfully yours, W. Storker.
Mount Emory,"May 31, 1S39.
It is gratifying to learn, however, by letters from
the Methodist missionaries, that those portions of
their mission which are disconnected from the col
ony, are enjoying the rich blessings of God, on
their direct efiorts for teaching the true religion
to the native tribes. A great accession of con
verts has been gained among a tribe residing at
some distance from the colony. We protest
against the fraudulent course of the Hartford Con
gregationist, in representing this as a fruit of Colonization.

New Haven, Ohio, Dec. 4th. 1838.
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
ing the Tomato Apple as a vegetable ; I have been induc
ed to try this medicine in various diseases. In the Autum
nal Intcrmitlents, prevalent in this section of the Slates, I
have no doubt Dr. Phelps' Compound Tomato Pills will, in
a great measure, if not entirely supersede the use oCal
omki,. I believe that in diseased liver they are more
prompt in their e.Tect, and as efficient, as Calomel I have
tried them in various other diseases, as .Rheumatism, Dys
pepsia, 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.
Yours respectfully,
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 post season, for tho Liver com
plaint ; and am happy to mid, with decided benefit : anp
therefore ta';e great pleasure in recommending them ; as
well from a sense of gratitude to the benevolent Proprietor,
as w ith 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 the world s invaluable medicine.
Six years since, I suffered from a maladv, pronounced by
tho concurrent opinion of a council of physicians, a chron
ic inflammation of the Liver; and underwent a skilful
mercurial treatment ; being confined for many months ;
and at length mainly restored to a tolerable degree of
health, though not without an apprehension that I should
be similarly afllicted. My fears have been but too well
confirmed y afecurrenca of nearly all the symptoms of
tins dreadful malady the past summer ; when accidentally
I heard of your Pills, and learning something of their prop
erties and characters, and their rapidly increasing celebri
ty, I resolved on trying them, reeling as I did, a repug
nance to resorting again to Calomol, and after ineffectually
and unsuccessfully trying other medicines professing a
specific romody for this complaint, I purchased a box of the
Messrs. Sands, Druggists.corner William and Fulton streets
duly authorized agents j 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 ;
and now that I hnve given them a thorough trial, can
cheerfully and unhesitatingly pronounce thein the very
best remedy extant for any dcrangemont or affection of the
Liver or Spleen, Billions Affections, Palpitation of the
Heart, or Dyspepsia in any of its forms : also as a good
family medicine, are the best with which I am acquainted.
At my recommendation and solicitation many of my
friends and acquaintances have taken them as a family med
icine, with perfect success. I grant my permission tp use
this as you please. Yours truly,
ISAAC V. AVEiJY, 179 William street.
From the Rev. I, X. Sprague, Pastor of the fourth
if Congregational Church, Hartford, Conn.
Dr. G. It. 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 tber timely use has been greatly bene
ficial in preserving our health. For some time past I have
made use of your Compound Tomato Pills, as a substitute
for those medicines, and have boon 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 for myself and children, to any other medicine
I have ever used to oorrect the irregularities of the stomach
and bowels. Yours, iie, I, N. SPAAGUE.
The following Letter, just received, illustrates in an in
teresting manner, the applicability of this medicine in Tu
mors and scrofulous swellings, and is another evidence of
its effects as an alternative, in changing the action of the
glandular and absorbent systems, and in renovating the
constitution impaired by protracted disease ; although in
some cases il may take considerable lime (as it does for all
remedies which operate as alternatives) to produce its full
and complete effects.
The accompanying remarks of Messrs. Chesebrough &
Leonard, will show that the statement of Mr. Vredenburgh
is entitled to ou full confidence and is without exaggeration.
JJome, April 27th, 1839.
G. R. Phelps, M. D. Dear Sir Herewith we send
you the statement of Mr. Andrew Vredenburgh, a very
respectable farmer of this town. His case is considered a
very remarkable one, and his statements may be relied up
on with the utmost confidence.
Your Pills have fully established themselves in this vi
cinity ; and the demand for them is constantly increasing.
If desirable, we can send you several other certificates of
cures effee'ed by the use of your Puis.
We remain yours, &c.
Chesebrough & Leonard.
Second Letter from Dr. Eaton, dated Broottfield, Ms.
March 29, 1839.
Dr. Phelps Dear Sir Your Pills are in great demand.
I have but a few on hand : no one who has taken them but
are perfectly satisfied with their beneficial effects in remov
ing disease, however long standing. I shall be at Hart
ford about the 15th of next month, and I will bring with
me a number of certificates frm persons of the first res
pectability, of cures which they have performed, some
ten, twelve and of twenty years standing, the one las
mentioned is a Mr. Luther Stowell of South Brook field
who has had a carious ulcer of a most formidable kind and
has never been one day without bandaging his leg from the
oot to the knee. His certificate I shall bring with me.'
Please send me six dozen boxes more, on the receipt of
this, and oblige, Yours, &c.

CAUTION. The unprecedented popularity of these
Pills has induced several persons to prefix the name of lo'
mato PilU to their various preparations, evidently with the
intention of deceiving those enquiring for Phelps' Tomato
Pills. The Public cannot be too cautious to avoid all these
anomalous ' Tomato Pills' and Extracts of Tomato,' nor
too particular to observe that the original and only genuine
Compound Tomato Pills, are signed by the Proprietor,
