neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of
the wise and pervert the words of the righteous. That
which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou may
est live and inherit the land, which the Lord thy God
givelh thee." Deut. 16,18. He that ruleth over man
must be just, ruling in tho fear of God." 2 Sam. 23, 8.
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's
sake", whether it be to the king, as supreme, unto governors,
or unto them that are sent by him for the punish
ment of evil doers, and for the praise of them that do
well. For so is the will of God, that with well-doing ye
may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. As free,
and not using your liberty as a clock of maliciousness,
but as the servants of God. Honor all 'men. Love the
brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King. I Pt. 2, 13
&c. "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers:
for there is no power but of God: the powers that be are
ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the pow
er, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they that resist
hall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not
a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then
not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and
thou shalt have praise of the same. For he is the minister
of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil,
be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is
the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him
that doeth evil. Wherefore ye must needs be subject not
onlv for wrath, but also for conscience sake." Horn. 13,
When Christ appeared and set up his-visible kingdom
in the world, he clothed the church with certain delega-
ted powers, which she has an undoubted right to exercise
But these powers never can interfere withthe powers gran
ted to parents and magistrates. Wicked rulers may op'
press the church. And ambitious churchmen may attempt
to rule the state as well as che hurch. 8ut such rulers
and churchmen do not act ander the authority, which God
has delegated. They are usurpers, and invade the rights
of God, as well as the rights of men.
Christ did admit, that he was king. And he said unto
liia disciples, "I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Fa
ther hath appointed unto me." Luke 23, 29. But he says
"My kingdom is not of this world." John 16, 36. And
the power, which he delegated, was suited to the nature of
his kingdom. ' Go ye therefore, and teach all nations
baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all
things, whatsoever I have commanded you; and Lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of tho world." Mat
23, 19, 20. "Then they that gladly received his 'word
were baptised," and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousand souls." Act 2, 41. "And
when they had ordained them elders in every church, and
had prayed with fasting, they commended them to tho
Lord, on whom they believed." Acts 14, 23. "Moreover,
if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and toll him
his fault between thee and him alone: if ho shall hear thee,
thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear
thee, then tal e with thee one or two more, that in the
mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be es
tablished. And if he shall neglect to hear them, toll it
unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let
him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Ver
ily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth
shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose
on earth, shall be loosed in heaven." Mat. 18, 15, 16,
Here the whole process is of a moral nature, requires no
civil aid, and interferes with no legitimate government,
And no civil authority has any right to interfere wi;h the
government of Christ's kingdom. And when they pre
sume to do it, they usurp his authority, and forfeit the
power delegated to them. In -such cases the Christian
must consider the authority of Christ as supreme: must
obey . God rather than man.
It is then evident, that civil government is an ordinance
of God, and that parents and rulers have a full and perfect
right to exercise the power, which has been delegated to
them. And children and subjects are bound, by the au
thority of God himself to honor and obey those, whom
God has placed over them, while they exercise the power,
which God has delegated to them. And those, who will
not do this, resist the ordinance of God, and must fall
tinder his condemnation. Rom. 13, 2. Happy would it
be if this divine ordinance were sacredly regarded in our
land, and the spirit of mobs subdued by the authority of
God. K. B.
" Woes cluster;

The editor of the Vergennes Vertnonter, bur
dened with complaints, like unto those of our
quondam friend of the Mercury is out upon us,
in his last number. There is this trifling differ
ence, however, in the bills of indictment filed by
the aforesaid complainants to wit : in the eyes of
the Woodstock man, our malfeasance consists in
passing by, Levite like, on the other siJe of a col
onizationist whereas the Vergennes editor sets up
his claim to be considered " a calm but firm abo
litionist," and is, withal, an opponent of the colo
nization humbug But in Loth cases, it is agreed
that they have, in consequence of our sins of
omission, loit a paltry fee. These gentlemen
of the green bag seem to suppose that since
" laws are; made for the disobedient," they have
.an unquestionable claim to " take the benefit of
rthe acts." Bo patient, gentlemen. The world
is larger than it appears to be on the map.

For the Voice of Freedom.
Mr. Editor, It is with pleasure, that I notice
tho following resolutions introduced by Elder
Whitchcr, and passed by the anti-slavery con
ation, held at Warsaw, N. Y. Nov. 13th, 1839,
reported in the American Citizen.
"Kesolved, That we recognize with gratitude
to God, the manifest hand of his providence in
ihejjdecided and Christian action on the character j
of American Slavery, and the duty of Christian
communities in regard toil, adopted by the Tenth
General Conference of the Free Will Baplist
Convention at their session recently held at Con-
neaut, Ohio.
Resolved, That this convention confidently an
ticipate the speedy arrival of that day, when this
bright example of christian principle and duty,
shajlbe imitated by all the Christian communities
in our land, when by all of them slaveholding
shall be exterminated from their sacred enclosures,
and branded as a system of incurable fraud,
robbery, licentiousness, infidelity, and heathenism,
The Freewill Baptists have taken a noble stand
in relation to slavery. And it is cheering to find
that in their General Conference they have clear
ed their skirts of the sin of slavery by disfellowship.
ping any member guilty thereof. This looks like
an honest testimony against sin. And is much more
honorable, than the mean skulking away from res
ponsibility, which has become so fashionable in
these days of declension, when more is done to
please men than God. Would all our Conven
tions and ecclesiastical bodies boldly speak out
against slavery, and refuse to hold fellowship with
slaveholders, it would have a powerful effect.
They would be ashamed, and repent, or the church
would be purged from such foul pollution, and be
no longer disgraced by holding fellowship with a
complication of all villanies. "Come out from
her my people that ye partake not of her plagues."
Honesty is letter than expediency.
An Old Man.
Official Impudence. We desire no better
proof of the general truth of all that has been re
ported of the notorious Consul Trist, of Havana,
than the following extract of a letter written
by him to a correspondent at New Orleans,
and published in some of the papers in that city.
We c!o not know that we ever read any thing
from any office-holder, accused of high crimes
and misdemeanors, so grossly ir.solent. Mer.
Jour.
' With regard to the newspapers, the only con
cern ihcy give me is through my friends. As for
the thing itself, and its direct bearing upon me,
they might howl or bray ad libitum from one end
of the year to the other, and the subject would be
one of just as much interest to me as the croaking
of the crapaux in any given marais of Louisana,
1000 miles off. But my friends and the public
are entitled to hear some truth in the midst of all
this lying, and they shall have it, but they must
be patient. My friends must rest satisfied witJi
the assurance which I give them, that they could
not wish tor me a prouder distinction than that
which awaits me. If you were to set your imag
ination to work to devise all the shapes which
lalsehood could assume towards a man in my po
sition, you would not count up half the heads of
the Hydra now hissing at me, and which it has
been given to me to exterminate. I wish vou
could see, were it ever so partially, the club that
1 have got. .1 have a number of issues to
make before the American people ; and those
who have compelled me lo make them, will be
sicker of the undertaking than ever they were of
any thing in their lives belore.
Abolition
in France. The following is a
summary of the Keport of M. Tocqueville, in the
name of the commission charged with examining
the question oi the abolition of slavery.
J. he Ivenort passes lightly and contemptuously
over the arguments in favor of slavery, and takes
ior granted the conviction in every mind that it
ought to be done away with. It passes immedi
ately to the question ot its being necessary to pre
pare the slave for emancipation, previously to lib
erating him. M. Tocqueville, in the' name of the
commission, asserts that all attempts to improve,
enlighten, and prepare the slave, so lone as lie is
a slave, are impossible. 1 he slave not only is ig-
norant of marriage, of the sacredness and morali
ty of that tie, but incapable of being made to ap
preciate it, as long as he is a slave. There is an
tipathy between marriage and slavery between
slavery and the paternity which accompanies mar
riage : the f lave s children are his equals are
independent of him, and excite r.o interest. None
)f the prudence and paternity accompanies it in
the slave. Christianity is equally incompatible
with slavery equally unintelligible. The min
ister of religion appears either as a support of the
master's rule, and is thus abhorred ; or he preach
es the doctrine of Christian freedom, dangerous to
the master. The commission therefore abandons
the idea of preparing the slave for freeedom by
any regulations for his treatment whilst a slave.
Emancipation, it adds, cannot be deferred. The
prospect of it, the idea of its arrival at no distant
time, render the slave incapable oftrannuil obedi
ence and good conduct as a slave. lie is in a
talse position. 1 he master tan no longer restrain
him, especially at night. ' The colonists,' writes
the Governor of Martinique in the present year,
' dare not rear cattle such is the fear and preva
lence of poison. The slaves use poison as a
means of vengeance vhen restrained; and no
vigilance can guard against it.' The necessitv of
emancipation being established, there are two
modes of decreeing it it may be either gradual
or immediate. The commission is of opinion
that the ?imultarieous or immediate emancipation
has less inconvenience than tho gradual.lt thinks
that the English Government was wrong in pay
ing at once the whole of the indemnity to the col
onists, instead of advancing portions, and retain
ing some check upon them. In admitting that tome
ot the censure passed on the apprenticeship is
well founuVd, nevertheless the commission thinks
that apprenticeship must be emploped : and that
for some time the negroes, however possessed of
the essential qualities ot lreedom, must be forced
to work. But it is not the master who can pre
serve or exercise the right to force the emancipa
ed negroo to work ; it must be the state, or, in
its name, the magistrate. This intermediate
state ought to be applied to the education of the
youm,-, as well as to tha labor of the middle-aged.
This labor is not to be gratuitous. Of the 250,
000 slaves in tho colonies, but two-thirds are from
14 to 60 years ofage, and capable of work. Cal
culations would lend us to believe ' that in de
manding a moderate salary for these 166,000, the
state might not only cover the expense of the in
demnity, and create a fund for sinking the capital,
but devote each day n portion of his salary to the
negroe.'
The latter would have Saturday to himself,
& a spot of ground. The proprietor would take the,
children apprentices till they were one and twenty.
The commission proposes that, in the session of
18-11, a law for the abolition of slavery shall be
presented, determining the amount of the indem
nity which is to be saved to the stale by means of
the salary of our emancipated negroes the labor
of the latter to be secured by an express law.
Piety should be Ciieeiiful. Children should
not be employed in studies above their years, or
in irksome tasks. The joyous freshness of their
young natures should be preserved while they
learn the duties that fit them for this lite and the
next. Wipe away their tears. Remember how
hurtful are the Iieavy rnins on the tender blos
soms just opening on the day. Cherish iheir
smiles. Let them learn to draw happiness from
all surrounding objeets, since there miy be some
mixture of happiness in every thing but sin. Ii
was once said of a beautiful woman, that from her
childhood she had ever spoke smiling, as if the
heart poured joy from the lips, and they turned it
into beauty.
May I be forgiven for so repeatedly pressing on
mothers to wear the lineaments of cheerfulnes! ?
" To be good and disagreeable is high treason
against the royalty of virtue," said a correct mor
alist. How much is it to be deprecated, when
piety, the only fountain for true happiness, fails
of making that joy visible to the eye ! If happi
ness is melody of soul, the concord of our feelings
with the circumstances of our lot, the harmony of
the whole being with the will of our Creator, how
desirable that this raelody should produce the re
sponse of sweet tones and smiling countenance,
that even slight observers may be won by the
charm of its external symbols ?Mrs. Sigourney.

West India Emancipation. The safety of
emancipation in the case of the West Indies is
now on nil hands admitted. The Commercial
AdveiKser of Wednesday, published a letter from
Barbadoes, from which the following is an ex
tract :
" Our conversation was occupied entirely with
the past and present situation of the island, to
gether with the results of emancipation. Three
gentlemen in the room were residents on the is
land; and reflected much, and were possessed of
ample means of information. They all unhesi
tatingly declared, in answer to my inquiries, thai
the planters, as a body, preferred the present state
of things to the old system oj slavery; that on
this subjsct there existed wonderful unanimity ;
as to personal feeling and pecuniary interest
than when slavery existed ; that if nil things
could be put back as they were, few or no votes
could be obtained for such a measure. They also
stated one fact, winch, of ltselt settles the (lues
tion as lo the pecuniary benefit of emancipation.
The price of real estate h:s rapidly and grcatlv
increased since the emancipation of the slaves
This fact, alone, independently of all reosonin.
and of all minor objections which may be drawn
from the misconduct of a portion of the negroo
establishes with absolute certainty the coot re
sults of that great measure. 1 his rise of real es
tate was not the consequence of any speculation in
building lots and wild lands ; plantations under
cultivation, and whose value consisted exclusive
ly in their cultivation and crops, were the sole ob.
jects of this increased price. There must be in
dustry, good crops, and security for life and prop
erty, wheie land devoted to agricultural purposes
is rising in value. No law of nature is more
certain.
These gentlemen frankly staled, that on some
plantations inconveniences had ensued from the
frickleness ond idleness of the negroes, from
their desire for excessive wages, from their fre
quent changes of residence. But such inconven
iences are not peculiar to this island, or to the
present state of society. All communities expe
rience such evils lo some extent, from the habit
of the laboring classes. Indeed, thcro are few
countries which have not occasionally suffered far
greater locs, and even damages from similar
causes.
From the Pennsylvania Freeman,
CTThe Torronto U. C. Press contains the fol
lowing advertisement, which our readers will read
ily understand, to refer to the " White Lady Fugi
tive." The passages marked as quotations, are
from the advertisement ot her professed owner J.
Davenport, Syracuse N. Y., which has been cop
ied into, the " Freeman."
FOUND !
Found on the Canadian Shore, a young wo
man, who says her name is Harriet Powell ; a
boijt 24 years ofage, " she is cf a full and well
proportioned form, about five feet three inches
high ; beautiful, straight, light brown hair, dark
eyes approaching to black, of fresh complexion,
and so fair that she would be taken for a hand
some white woman, yet to a critical observer, the
prominent mouth, depressed nostrils, and receding
lorehead, betray the leading traits of the African
race."
" Her demeanor is very quiet, and her deport
ment modest."
When found, her head dress consisted of a Free
dom's Bonnet and a Liberty Cap, with a frock of
Victoria plaid ; she has JMermo, Muslin, and oth
er dresses; " she wears small rings, with stones,
in her ears, and on her fingers, three chaste gold
rings, two of which are set with green, and the
other with transparent crystals."
From her admission and style cf dress, I sup
pose she came from the seraglio of some " Pa
triarch" or that she broke loose from " the do
mestic Institution," " sundering the most endear
ing ties."
She is "plunged in sorrow at the separation of
an aged mother and bister;" and it adds intensity
to her feelings, that she knows not where they are,
or what may become of them, and strange lo tell
she positively declares she never had any legal
father. The subscriber wants to know in what
part of the world fhe could have been born ? It
may be proper to add, that since she flew to him
for refuge, "that her conduct and moral deport
ment have, hitherto, been irreproachable;" ;ind
that this notice is published with the hope that it
may be the means of her mother and sister know
ing where she may be found. Any person con
veying the information to them shall receive a re
ward of $'2C0, and a further reward of 2.500,
when the mother and sister are personally introdu
ced to her.
I hope this notice will procure tidings concern
ing her mother and sister, as Harriet must btr
known to many persons, having travelled consid
erable. She says " the last prt she hailed from
was Davenport." ?
