FOR THE rALLADIUiX. SLAVERY. When we turn over the pages of history, and tike a retrospective view of the hmaan family, we find that it has ever been the practice for the strong to oppress the weak, and load them with fetters and chains. I could wish for the credit of the family of men, thV oppression and tyranny had been confined to? times of yore, when ignorance, barbarity, and superstition held the human mind in bondage, and spread devastation and ruin, in every clime. But, alas! we see oppression and cruelty stalking about at noon-day in this enlightened age, and in this land of liberty. The writer of this article has just returned from a tour through some of the slave states, and has had a pretty good opportunity of witnessing the cruel oppression exercised over the tawny sons of Africa. I have formerly lived in Kentucky, and must say that slavery there is freedom, compared with some other states. In the state of Kentucky, slaves are tolerably well fed and clothed. Not so in many other places half fed and clothed, and driven under the cutting lash from day -break till dirk. One evening as I was making my way to my boarding house, in company with a friend, I discovered a shelter made with some boards; one end of the boards resting on the ground, the other on a pole, raised some eight feet from the ground by two forks. Under this shanty lay an old negro man, on a broid bench, with some duds under his head, wlio had just returned from the lalor of the day. His haggard and melancholy appearance, attracted my attention. I accosted him in the following manner: "You seem to be dejected and cast down what has befallen you.'" He replied, "nothing of late. .Some fifty years ago I was living in my own country, with my wife and children, (two,) a band of Christians bound me, forced me from my country, my children, and my wife. Thus having parted with all that was dear to me, I have spent my days in bondage and woe! and now stand on the brink of the grave, which will shortly snatch me from my oppressors." To see this aged man, without a friend to sooth his sorrow to hear his tale of woe, and to reflect on the many hardships he lias endured through life, made my heart bleed. As I walked home, I fancied I saw the cursed gang approaching his quiet dwelling, in his own country loading him with cords and chains, while the wife tears her hair, and wrings her hands in frantic grief, imploring them to spare her protector and guide! But those fiends, inhuman form, drag him from the embraces of his wife and children, convey him to a foreign land, to drag out his days in bondage, degradation, and misery. "Thus man devotes his brother, and destroys; And worse than all, and most to be deplor'd, As human nature's broadest, foulest blot, Chains him, and tasks hint, and exacts sweot With stripes, that mercy, with a bleeding heart, Weeps when she sees inflicted on a beast." When I have seen the slave writhe under the lacerative lash, I have exclaimed, just Heavens! am I in America! the boasted land of liberty! "the home of the poor! the asylum of the oppressed!" If, as it is believed, God saw that Eng-i land's demands of the Colonies were unjust and intolerable, and stretched forth his Omnipotent arm, and saved them, will he not avenge the negro's wrong, and pour out his vials of wrath on our happy country 1 "God is no respecter of persons," but "his tender mercies are over all his works;" "For thy kind heavenly father bends his eye, On the least wing that flits across the sky." The declaration of Independence, of these United States, declares, "that all men were created equal;" and yet we hold the negro in bondage, and mock his groans and teirj with our declaration of mutual rights. We call this land the home of the poor the asylum of the oppressed: yet crush the poor, unfortunate child of Africa, to the very lowest state of degradation and poverty. While Greece was struggling for liberty, our country seemed alive to her rights; but alas! amidst all the enthusiasm, for the rights of man, the negro's claims were forgotten: lie still wears the clanking chains of bondage, etill hears the insulting voice of a petty tyrant, calling him from his humble couch. Many an American heart has felt indignant at Russia's cruelty and oppression over fallen Poland yet think it no harm to exercise the most unrelenting cruelty over the African. I know it is withering to the hopes of freedom, to hear "Cossack's scream, and Tarter's yell," in the halls of Poland, that used to rng with shouts of freedom. But cot more so, than to hear the groans of the poor slave, bending under intolerable bondage, in this nursery cf freedom. "I would net have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth Thatsinews bought & sold have ever earn'd." Cannot the wisdom of our country devise some plan to effect the gradual emancipation

and return of the Africans, to their native land.1 I do not think the inhabitants of the slave states, at this day, are any more accountable for the crime of slavery, than those of the free states. The blacks have been increasing on their hands for a long time, and they dare not set them free in this country. Indeed many are so situated, that if they were to give to up their slaves without a reasonable compensation, it would reduce them to poverty and want. Neither do I think it right for the free states to try to force the slave states into measures that they are opposed to, as regards the emancipation of of the slaves; but let the east, the west, the north, and the south, join in mutual friendship and brotherly love, to bring about this glorious work, and wipe from the history of cur beloved country, the foul stain of slavery. "Then shall the world exclaim, proud, happy, thrice happy America! T ho home of the poor the asylum of the oppressed!" Where the oppressed of every clime finds refuge, and the disciples of every school under the sun rove untrammeled, as "the beasts of the forest! J. Manchester, August 17th, 18C3.

From the Jf'estern Hemisphere. WEST POINT ACADEMY. It appears that the few remarks which wo made on this, as we conceive monopolizing institution, has operated to produce a defensive argument from a brother Editor in this place. Lengthy us the article in question is, it alters not our settled convictions of the utter injustice, the odious inequality; if not the unconstitutionality of this exclusive academy! We hold it to 1)3 a fundamental principle cf v. Republican government, and one which, if cast from our political creed, cannot fail to corrupt the very element that nourishes and invigorates the l)e:r.oeratic body that whenever any ojice, system or institution of any kind gives evidence of a tendency to create a marked line of distinction between it and others of a similar nature or, having origin

ally been intended for the public good, it be- j comes warped into a hobby by which to secure oilice and the emoluments arising therefrom it becomes the bounden duty of every good citizen to expose and resist it. 'Wo well know that much resistance has not been made to the West Point institution. And why! Because they have not fully seen, or do not seem to bo aware that those favored sons cf fortune, (wo again assert that with a tow isolated exceptions the Cadets are the sons and relatives of our wealthiest and most influential men) are already placing a military sad' die upon their backs, which unless -speedily thrown off, thev will iind too tightlv girt, ever after to get rid of. When we reflect, however, that the citizens of this government have not nexo to learn the artcf governing themselves, there is little fear but thev will exercise their wisdom in cur Jimi this grasping College, when apprized of its aristocratic features, and exclusively oliieial tendency. Common consent assigns them a rank, politically speaking, highly honorable to their intelligence, and elevated, as it respects the form and principles of the system by which we are governed, which are undoubtedly, most conducive to the happiness of mankind. They have shown their wisdom in lopping otT, from time to time, the rank weeds which grow and flourish in tho sunshine of a regal throne. This one, has, ?o far, been neglected. But it is urged, as one reason why this seminary should bo cherished, "that such are found advantageous in Europe." Because the Princes of Europe are under the necessity of continually struggling with their suijects, to sustain those avtiucial orders they had created, must we become, in this thing, their servile copyists,1 No! let their military despots her 'Bonaparte's, Bluchcr's, and Wellington's, wade kueo deep in blood, if they please, we blush not to "beg off," But another reason has been given; tho "father of his country" favored the organization of a school of this description. We know no individual who lived in tho "times that tried men's souls" that did not wish every thing bearing the form of a man, had been a soldier in their cause. The knowledge of their own weakness, and the strength of their enemy must naturally have induced this desire. The present situation and circumstances of our country render such a wish unnecessary, at least destroys any necessity for educating, even at the public expense, a set of men for the especial purpose of "commanding' others, Rome, so long as she remained free from military domination, was prosperous and happy; it wi far otherwise when the numerous otilees were seized and held by the patricians, their first growth of nobles. Let the West Point cadets or lieutenants, or as some would style them, in consequence of tneir tierenuer s lanrruae, . 1 t r t i these vrivilesrcd oi'ce seekers and holders, remain in possession of their present claims let habit, and a tacit submission to that habit continue to exist for some time longer, and with all our boasted freedom, we too must come under the yoke. We object not to the selection, or election of military men to ollice, but wo do object to the organization of a particular hand who will have a pre-emption right thereto, and if our opposition to this institution is bitter, it arises not from any dislike to the individuals who are there taught, but from a determined hostility to the dawnings of monopoly in any and every instance. That there is monopoly here, wTe ask no better evidence than the fact that in tho vacancies which occur in the army, and navy, the preference is always given to the West Point graduate. In opposing the rcchartcr of the II. S. Bank, we merely sought to break down this potent monster, monopoly, and we feel bound by a firm belief in the corrupting influence cf any institution, possessing wealth to purchase oiiice to sustain, or political power to create it, to oppose unreservedly and invcterately. In our opinion a seminary for the education of young men who should exclusively nil the vacancies occurring in both houses of congress, and the more elevated stations to which all can now aspire, would present quite as pleasing an aspect as Wcit Point. We are perfectly willing to admit that to some few individuals, this seminary may prove beneficial, but, wo ask, show us a West Point cadet, who has pre-eminently distinguished himself in any particular branch. We are able to point to a few who do honor to their profession, and reflect credit on the nation; but wheii we wish to select from among the number of our gifted sons, those who are tho brightest ornaments in our country's crown, we must point to those who have arisen from the humblest walks of lifeself made men, to use an expression which is generally understood. We could name numbers; let the one adduced by our opponent suffice, "Andrew1 Jackson," he says, "was once a poor boy now he is President of the United States." Was he a privileged CadtU Permit the system to run on, as it now is, and we have no hesitation in repeating that every important public onice will become filled, with the exception of those in which the public voice is law7, with those gentry, who coming from an institution decidedly aristocratic, may be supposed to contract "feelings and sentiments, political and moral, similar in their nature, and tending much more than the institution itself, to perpetuate a distinctive order. They will, and in some cases w e have evidence that they do, bemi to fancy themselves something superior to their homespun brethren, and accordingly assume the station which their peculiar mode of educa ticn has pointed out as theirs by right; thus we have an order ot American patricians in troduced among us. But our neighbor says, "the road to wealth, official honor and distinction, ought to be open to all," tand at the same time urges upon us the grasping claims of an institution well calculated to destroy all equality. So gay we,

and our remarks, we believe, belie not the

affirmation. To preserve that road open, we oppose this institution, and boldly put the thanthe West Point honorable.?! We ask, why is this if net to honor the favored ft icf Is 'it otherwise than to pamper and pension such as have received their improved intelli - geneo as well as their subsistence at the hand C -.i.l-.l T.

FATAL DUKL. Extract of a letter dated Xew Orleans, July 21. "A fatal duel occured this morning in our city, which excited general interest and sympathy for tin deceased. The parties were two professional young gentlemen of much promise, i)r l.W. Hunt, and C. M. Conrad, Eiq. They fought at 0 o'clock A. M. The challenge passed between i w er them yesterday. After the customary arJ rangeinents, the parties took tho held. Conrad's pistol, by some accident, fired hefore the time. The bull struck tho ground at a very short distance. The second re loaded, and again they took position. Conrad's pistol at this time, went off at the word given by the seconds. The ball passed into tho lorcheud of Dr. Hunt, who, in the act of raising his arm with a deliberate aim, fdl dead upon the ground. His pistol did not discharge. The body was interred this evening. This is the only fatal duel among three, winch were fought this morning. TvUSSELYlLIE, August 2, 1S33. Qauxtuh SrrriciT. William B.
