The Beneral appearance of the paper is much Improved. The indefatigable editor, Benlamin Lundy, deserves the support of eveKs friend of equal rights, for his unceasing Exertions to promote the emancipation of Ihc Africans from the chains and the lash Bf heartless task-masters, in the U. States. -Slavery is considered by the best informed men in our country a “great moral and Political evilone which threatens, if not abolished,to overwhelm our southron brethren in one general scene of massacre. The slaves in the U. S. having the example of St. Domingo before their eyes will never lest contented under a deprivation of all their natural rights; the frequent attempts hey have made in South Carolina and othsrslave states,plainly evince that the flame isonly smothered,notextinguished,and that ft will ere long burst out in a general conBagration. Mr. Lundy with the fearlessness of a true philanthropist has located himselfin a slave state, with a determination to do all in his power to, awaken the people to a true sense of their danger, and of the insufferable wrongs they are daily inflicting upon a large portion of the human family. In such a benevolent undertaking, I repeat it, he deserves the ardent ♦upport of every friend of humanity. The prospectus of his paper may be seen on the fourth page of to-day’s Leger.

Emancipation. —From a statement in the Genius of Universal appears that there is in Kentucky, five or six societies for promoting the Manumission of •laves; in Tennessee, twehty-one; In North Carolina, eleven or twelve; in Virginia, one or two; and one in Delaware; “besides twenty or thirty In other sections of <le country, where the cruel and unhallowed system has either been extinguished, or where measures have been adopted for that purpose.” Mexican Decree relative to Slaves. The supreme executive power provisionally named by the general constituent sovereign congress, to all who shall see and Qaderstand these presents, know:-—That

I the said sovereign centres* have decreed as follows: No. 62. The general constituent sovereign congress of the United Mexican States have been pleased to decree as follows: 1. The comsnerce and tnfic of slaves is forever forbidden in the territory of the United Mexican States, from whatever nation they may come, and under whatever flag. 2. Any slaves which may be introduced contrary to the tenor of the preceding article, shall he free as soon as they touch the Mexican territory. 9. Every vessel, whether national or for-l eign, in which slaves have been transport I |ed or introduced into the Mexican territoj ft, shall be Irremediably confiscated wit| tbe remainder of it* cargo; and the owned and purchaser, tbe captain,the master an j tbe pilot, shall suffer the punishment of tei yean imprisonment. 4. This law shall have effect from tbe, very day of publication; hut with regard to the penalties prescribed in the preceding article, they shall not go into effect until fix months after, on account of the colonists, who, in virtue of the law of the 14th of October last, on the colonisation of the Isthmus of Huazacualca, are land' Ing slaves for the purpose of introducing them into the Mexican territory. The supreme executive power shbll cause this to be understood, and shall take the measures necessary for its fulfilmekt, by having it printed, published and circulated. Mexico , July 13,1824.

Extract at a letter, dated Fort Crawford, Prairie qn Chien,Sept.3, 1024, \ “The Indians in this part of the country are not so peacable as former! * There, have been two instances of murder within a few weeks, not a great distance from the Prairie; the first instance was a couple of deserters from St. Anthony, on their way to St. Louis; they were overtaken by a party of Chippewas, killed and scalped—tbe second instance occurred last month: four respectable persons, living at the Prairie left this post to go to St. Anthony. On the sth night after their departure, they came too, for the purpose of making a fire and cooking some provisions; they were, unfortunately in the neighborhood of a Chippewa war party —it is supposed their number was about 100—who immediately killed and scalped them,leaving their bodies to be devoured by beasts and birds of prey. Wtr**** Imlim were so lacerated as to make it impossible to discriminate between them. It has made some stir among us, and, possibly, the result may be an Indian war.” Nat. Journal . A National Road from Washington to N. Orleans . —ln a correspondence between the Governor of Georgia &. the Secretary of War, we noticed that it is the determination of the President of the U. States, to direct, at an early period, the survey of a national road from the seat of government to New-Orleans. A direct communication with the metropolis of the nation, will be of great benefit to thi* country,both in political and commercialppint of view. Such an intercorse, like a great vein circulating the fluids of life through the animal system, must impart to the bodies politic and commercial, free and easy interchanges of political and commercial healtk, and draw the children of the West moife closely to their parents of the East. Internal improvement whether by reals or canals, cements the interests of individuals of the seperate states, and of the nation. By an identity of such benefis, (if we may use the expression,) the patriotism and the national, character of tne people benefited, become consolidated. Let us, therefore, hope that the intention of the President oftne United States to direct an early survey for a national road will be made manifest, and that the grand object contemplated will be put into operation without delay. —Lou . Adv.

Ship Albion. —The Sayanah Georgir n of the 7th ult. says, “We yesterday conversed with one of the Beamen, saved Iroti the wreck of this Bhip, who says that lib was on the rope,mid way between the Job* and Mary and the Albion, when it and he was dragged back to his companions. After losing sight of the former vessel, they had very little hope of being saved, as the ship had sunk even with the water, and the sea made a complete breach over her, without a possibility of their obtaingany sustenance from below. A fellow sufferer on board, was an unfortunate monkey, whom when nearly dead, they killed and dried. The body of poor Jaco, eaten raw, and soma rain they caught, was all that supported them during the 5 days they were on the wreck, the greater part of which lime they were lashed to the poop.” ,

Family government, j Passing the house of a neighbour, in one of my evening excursions, I heard a great noise and tumult; and, seating myself to learn Whence it proceeded, soon understood, that some unlucky chap, in imitation of bis lather’s example, had been into the garden with his little hoe, and unfortunately, not being able to distinguish noxious weed* from useful plant*, had unwittingly destroyed one or two vines; a mighty offence, considering the unpromising appearance of the season. Strict inquiry was made to discover the rogue; but all denied the deed, till a little boy, about four years of age innocent of the evil design, and ignorant of any art of dissimulation, came forward and owned the fact. Noble boy! said I to myself; your harmless intentions and free confessions will surely not only screen you from punishment, but entitle yon to commendation. But what was my surprise, When the mother, void of all humanity, void of those peculiar traits so becoming in Hie female character, void even of maternal affection, with the mad fury of a deufon, flew to the helpless- child and buit him most unmercifully ? W the ■—w ti le accompanying every blow with such tl ’cats and imprecations, as almost chilled u ' blood to bear. Blind and misguided parents! said I; li tie do you consider, how much evil you h; ve done, without effecting any good. It w II readily be granted, by every candid person, that no real good can be expected to result from so improper a manner of correcting. lam far from believing, that a child treated In this manner will be deterred from committing even that which he ktiows to be wrong, whenever he ha* any temptation for so doing. But.the evils resulting from so ill-timed and improper a chastisement are numerous. Fmsf: It confounds in tbe minds of children the ideas of right and wrong, and the difference between accidental and intended mischief Secojvn: They are taught, by the example of a parent, to fly into a passion at eVery trifling occurrence which is not agreeable to their testy humors. They learn to exercise the baneful passions of malice, revenge, and cruelty among their playmates. Third : They are taught to pay little or no regard to the judgement, or authority of their parents. . They will not consider their punishment as the desert of their crimes, but the effects of hasty and petuByxucffTreatment,Tire clfiifid is likewise taught to lie; a practice too easily learned, without the aid of an instructor. What will induce a child to confess that for which be is sure of being punished?—l know of no motives, which will prompt older peoSle to do this, but a full and practical beief of their accountability; a principle, which seldom actuates the conduct of children.

So I returned, and said iti mine heart, this also is a sore evil, and the great vexation of our age; that there is so little judgement, reason, and religion exercised in the education of our children. The little master, for breaking a pane of glass, letting fail a teacup, or ignorantly destroying a favorite tree or flower, is in a moment of rage, beaten without mercy:— while at the same time, perhaps, he is permitted, with srarcely a rebuke, to indulge anger, malice and revenge, towards his little, brothers and sisters; to deceive and prevaricate; to rqb his neighbor’s orchard and gardens; and to make use of the most uncivil, obscene and profane language. The truth is this: they treat their children like a dog, for accidentally destroying a few pence of their property; while they jet pass unnoticed the far more destructive and pernicious evils of the heart.
