At that paper Ute "the late already done great pool in liowinj ilia l the uperioritj over their fellow citixen which lm bn eUimf bj nin foolih New Knpl.rsder has no fuunria tion, ani that Mr. Ciuii i koowa little Um I the hitorv of hi own Slate, or Uc wilfully tnireprrent it.

We need not pursne the tubject; but the writer in the llbtorade Magazine, whom we qui ted In our fira rticle, haa been engage! collecting facti which tre of importance. We transfer to our columns pirU of an el.abor.ate and important article from the Janmrr tHitiilxr of that excellent magazine We d not know who j Is the author, but hare reason to believe that he i ii a geudemaa distinguished in historical circle-. Ilia work is purelj historical, and we respectfully refer to lb i rticle all those gectlemeu, editor and other, who have beeo atucking ua for tbe patt few weeks with so much ferodty. After thia, the people w ill know something about the TunUm. what they were, and for wh.tt they are to b admired. It ia unnecessary to recite the aitoundin? ex posurM mide by thi writer. We hive hereto fore confined our remark chiefly to the public actj of the colonist.'-, showing their open and avowed principle)". The present article exhibit the rexulu of tho principle a applied to individual case. What cn be more urpriinjj than thi record of two youn;- white children in M-iatachuetU condemned to be fold into lavery in Barbidoei for attending Quaker meeting? What more pinfi.l than the emotion of Mr. Eft ITT orer the fate of the wife and son c the great Kiug PuiLir, alo cotdemned and old alaves? The eloquence pf Mr. Evkk ITT, however, affect u with surprise when we rend In hi lite Gettysburg peech the statement that "the Puritan in Ifi-IA and the Whig of XfcS reVlled aiinst arbitrary power in order to etnbliah constitutional liberty.' He had forgotten hU Bloody Brook pech of when he uttered at Oettyburp the ontrnthful and even absurd pa ige e luve quoted, la it the atmosphere of IbMon that prevents men from adhering to hitori' truth? But there ia another pint, brought out in this article, which the Boston rtdical mut take to heart. The rcury of Maehisetts wa et.richeil with the money, the proceed of the slave trade.- If any one will count the interest on the mor.evs received by Mvvtchuftt. for the !e of alave. he will find thit the gain has gone into the whole body of the State property. Every tone and brick of her public building, every ciMed en!gn of State power contains part of the price of thos laves Nor did we ever he.irof retitut:on proposed bv Massu'huaetts. The simplest and best forms perhaps would have beeoj for the State to appropriate a sum equivalent to the ascertained re ce'pt for the alavea sold, with intere-t properly compounded, and with that sum purchase the freedom of Southern slaves and give them homes in M s.achuctt. It would not be difficult to mke the cilculation of the result. Perhaps ome tender conscience in Massachusetts to d.ij will be dispocd to make restitution by an appro' priation to buy theIaveof Kentucky or some other State. Will the abolitionists of Boston consider the matter?" - Sentiments of an Adopted Citizen. Hon.

IV nee Metten Lh, the greatet diplomatist of the MachiareUian ichcol, once expre-el tha nr inion that the Constitution of the United States would be applicable r all monarchical purposes, if it did not exclude the de of constructive treaon. The hint of the old shield bearer of tvranny has been well understood by Mr. Lit. coin and hs C-b'net. who, by the w ty of construction aud i.'iierH-eUtion of that very same Constitution, succeeded to make it ap plicable fur etcry pur p,e tf usurpation. I he gentleman now in ti e chair Webb sees no danger in II thee thirty, because, as he believe, no man could make hinv lf a tjrant within the short space of four years A very innocent hlea that. We Americans of European birth know only too well fror. our ex perience that it mut be a very poor sort of a tyrant who wants four years to acquire tyrannical power. The riht man under the right circumstances may succeed in four day, and even in four h'ur. There are numerous piecedenu to which 1 might refer. But let us be confined to the LiMory of a few years. Karly in 1H4, every man in France laughed nttheidei of a Napoleon ic pre-idency. The people of Paris said he was just fool enoush to have their amusement with the funny fellow, whoe caricatures were paraded in every budget of fun. They called him the "mooncrvlf." But they found the mooncalf at once elected president of France by a handsome majority of a million of votes. I cannot say which was creafer at the time the at"nishmetit or the scorn at him. of all the European politi cians. 1 hev all made mockery of him, arid nobody believed that he could keep himself in the position for a single month. Notwithstanding that and in spite of the most extenaive machinations of the whole ell-schooled Eurapean diplomacy, he became even Emperor of France. Even then the I'.ilmerstons and Metternichea considered him a political mushroom of a very short life. He was refused the hand of a legiti mite r-rince-a for that reason. Now, it is over ten yea since he commerced tyranniz:ng the same French people who have overthrown so many thrones, arid still he exists; moreover, be is the ruler in fact of Europe, and nobody can say whether or not he will jjive us here some uuwelcome proof of his superioritj above all his contemporaries.

In 1 GIG the Commissioners of the United Colonies tnide a very remarkable order, practically authorizing, upon complaint of trespass by tiie Indians, the seizure of "any of that planta tion of Indians that shall entertain, protect or rescue the offender." The order further pro cee.U: "And. because it will be chugeablc keeping Indian? in prisone, and if thev should escape, they are likely to prove more insolent and dangerou after, that upon such se izure, the delinquent or satisfaction be apaine demanded, of the Sagamore or plantation of Indians guilty ot acte-sory as before, and if it be denyed,thatthe:i the tu iL'istrates of the Jurisdiccon Oeiiver up the Indiana seasid to the narty or parties indam iged, either to serve, or to be shipped out and exchanged for Necroes as the r inse will justly beare." Plymouth Records, IX. 71. The Commissioners themselves were not blind to the severity of this precee ling, although they alleged that it was "just." There are here two features of historical im portance which the reader will not fail to notice, viz: the export for trade of Indi u.s for negroes, and the measure of "justice in tho.-e days be j tween the colonists and the natives. j 1 1 may be observed that in the notes we have ; not drawn the lines between the i'iymou:.n colony and tint of Massachusetts 15 iv In this eon tiection they may justly be regarded as one, indeed they cannot be sepirarel, for in these and similar proceedings, to quote a significant proverb of that day, "The Plymouth saddle was always on the Iiy horse." In 1G.. June 22, certain persons were punished bv hues by the county courts at Silem and Ipswich, for attending a Quaker meeting and otherwise svdini with the Quakers and hseuting themselves from the publick ordinances." Amon them wete two children, Daniel and Piovided Southwick, sonne and daughter to Lawrence Southwick, who were fined ten pounds, hut their fines not being paid, and the panics (as is htatcd in the proceedings) "pretending they luve no estates, resolving not to worke, and others likewise hive been fined and more like to be fined" the General Court were called upon iu the following year, M iv 11. l6o9, to decide what course! should be taken for the satisfaction of the fines, j This they did. after due deliberation, by a re- j solution empowering the County Treasurers to sell the siid per.-ons to any of the English nation nt Virgiliii or Birhuloes in accordance with their law for the sale of poor and delinquent debtors To accomplish this, they wrested their own law from its just application, for the special law concerning fines did not permit them to go bevond imprisonment for non-payment.

Many of these prisoners sur rendered and still greater numbers came in voluntarily to submit ujiou the promi-e that they and their wives and children should have their lives spared and none of them transported out of the country. In one instance, narrate! by the famous Captain Church himself, no less "than "eight score persons" were "without any regard to the bromide mide them on their surrendering themselves, carried away to Plymouth, there sold and transported out of'the country." Church, 23.24.41.51.57. Nor did the Christian Indians or Praying Indi ans escape the relentless hostility and cupidity of the w hite. Resides other cruellies, instances are not wanting in which some of these were sold ns slaves, and under accusations which turned out to be utteily false und without foundation. Gookiu's History of the Christian Indians Some of them are probablv referred to by Eliot, in his letter to Boyle, Nov. 27, ltGI, in which he s?ays. "I desire to take boldness to pro pose a request. A vessel carried away a great number ol our surprised Indians, in the times of our wars, to fell them for slaves; but the nations, w hither she went, would not buy them. Finally, tdie left them at Tangier; there the be. so many as live, or are bom there. An Englishman, a mason, came then e to Boston, he told me ihey desired I would use some means for their letuin J home I knew not what to do l;i it; but now it; is iu my heart to move your honour, s to meditate, that they may have leave to get home, either from thence hither, or from thence to England, and so to get home If the Lord shall pie feto move your charitable heart herein, I shall be obliged in great thankfulness, nd am pcismded that Christ will, at the great d iy, reckon it among your deeds of charitv done unto them for Ins name's Hike." M.H.S. Col ,111 le3. Mr. Eveiett, in one of the most elaborate of hi finished and beautiful orations, has narrated the story of two ot the last captives in that in famous war, iu a passage of surprising eloquence whic h we venture to vote: "Pie-ident M;her, in relating the encounter of the 1st of August, 1676, the last but one of the war, says 'Paiiip h tidly tscaped with his lile also. He had left his peage behind him, also his squaw and son were taken captive, and.ne :iow prisoners at Plymouth. Thus huh God brought that gr ind enemy into gre it mivery before he quite destroy him. It must needs be bitter ns death to him to Ioe his wile and only sou (for the Indians ;.re marvellous loud and affectionate towards their children) beside other rcla'ions, and almost all his suhjects, and country a!si.' "And what was the fate of Phillip's wife and his son? This is a tale for ho-binds and wives, for pirents and children. Young men and women, you cannot understand it Whit w.iK the fate of Philip's wile and child? 6he is 1 woman, he is a lad They did not surely hang them. No, thit would have been mercy. Ihe boy is the grandson, the mother the daughter of ood i old Massasoit, the first and best friend the Eng ; lis!: ever had in New England.

I. iv. 1117. The record of the slave tride and slavery everywhere are the same the same disregard ol human ri-hts, the f true indifference to sufferin?, the same contempt ur the oppressed races, the same hate for those who are injured. It has been asserted that the miseries of slavery were miti gated, and that especially iu Massachusetts, some of it worst feature were unknown. Bt the record doe not bear out the iurgetion. The rtnejper putliahed in America illuatrate among it adveriiement tbe peculiar fea-

turea of the institution to which we refer, and in iis scar.ty column of intelligence may be found thrilling account of the barbarous murders of rai-ters and craw by the hinds of the;rslive cargoes. The case of the Amlstad negrots had it occasional parallel in the colonial history of the traffic exrep'.iog that the men of New England had a sympathy at home in the 17th and lsth centuries; which was justly withhel i from their Spanish and Portuguese imitators in the 1'Jth. As the advantages of advertising came to be understood, the descriptions of lave property became more frequent and explicit. Negro men. women and children were mixed a? in the sales with wearing apparel. Gold Watches, and other Goods "very good R.ubadoe Rum" is offered with "a young negro that has had the small pox" md competitors offer "Likely negro men aod women just arrive 1" ''t.eiiro men new nnd neuro boys who hare beeo in the country some tiiue," and also "just ar

rived, a choice parcel of negro boys and cirls. "A likely negro mm born in the country and bred a farmer, fit for auy service," "a neuro worn m, '22 years old, with a boy about 5 months." A.c., nnd a "likelv negro woman about 19 years oM and a child about s:x months of nge to be sold together sjr apart." must conclude thee extnets. At this point it may be necessary to inter;-ose a caution with reference to the judgment which may be pronounced against the politj which has been ili us jr.it td in these notes; and a recent wri ter ol English history has m clearl y stated our own views, that hu language requires very little change here. It would be to misread history and to foriret the change of times, to see in the Father of New England and their successors mere commonplace sdavemongers; to themselves they appeared as the elect to whom God had given the heathen for an inheritance; they were men of stern intellect and fanatical faith, w ho, believing themselves the f avorites of Providence, imitated the example an I assumed the piivilee o the chosen people, and for their wildest and wor?t acts thev could claim the sanction of religious conviction. In seizing and enslaving Indians, and trading for negroes, they were but entering into possession ot the heritage of the saint; and Near England had to outgrow the theology of the Klizibethan Calvinists before it could understand that the Father of Heaven respected neither person nor color, and that his arbitrary favor if more thin a dream of divines was confined to spiritual privileges Compare Fioude's Hiet. of Eng., VIII. 4r0. It was not until the struggle on the part of the colonists them-elves to throw off tho fast closing shackles of British oppression culminated in open resistance to the mother country, that the inconsistency of maintaining slavery with one hand while pleioing and striking for freedom with the other, compelled a reluctant and gradual change in public opinion on thi subject. It is line thit at no period of her history was Massachusetts without her "proteslants" against the whole system; but their example wis jowerless in their day and generation. The words and thoughts of a Williams, au Eilet, a Sew ell, and a Dudley, fell unheeded and unnoticed on the ears and heirts of the magistrates and people of their day; as the acorn fell two centuries ago in the fore-ts by w hich they were surrounded II.
