Poetry.

From the Albany Register. ' THE RQ THAT BEAMS TOREVEIl. There is a bloom that never fades, A rose no storm can sever, Beyond the tulip's gaudy shades, A ray that beam for evever. There is a charm surpassing art, That speaks in every feature, That twines around the feeling heart. It is thv charm, O nature!

Then stranger, if thou fain would find The rose no storm can sever, Go. seek it in the virtuous mind, The rav that beams forever.

OF ITSELF A "BLACK LIST1 From the Genius of U. Emancipation. To the Editor. " The following copy of a letter from a European gentleman to his brother, written soon after his arrival in America, fell into my hands a few days since. It appears he had entertained strong predclictions in favour of our laws and civil institu

tions, but was extremely disgusted at the conduct of some of our high professors of republicanism, when he became acquainted with our practices relative to the treatment of slaves. And this, by the way Mr. Editor, is exactly the light in which we nil, (just and unjust) arc viewed by foreigners generally, when they' learn the nature of our doing in this respect. This gentleman intended to settle among u, but as he could not recon

cile himself to what he considered

n earth, and a great deal more of the

hypocritical cant respecting liberty

and equality which the people of this

.-ountry so often use, xsacn in the

company of foreigners. I merely

replied, saying, that I had not been long enough in the country, to form

an opinion respecting its government,

but 1 hoped its actions were consist-'

ent with its professions. About this

time we were called into the suppci

room. After supper, my host desir

ed to be excused for a few minutes,

as some business required his imme

diate .attention, hoping that I would

consider mvself at home &c. &c.

After he was gone I stepped to a

window and observed the negroes

coming in from the holds, with what

cotton they had picked during the

daw on their heads in baskets. I

T saw mv host weighing the cotton vc

ry particularly, and began to think

he was going to give a certain share

to his slaves for their encouragement.

but I soc n found this a visionary idea

I asked his daughter what it meant.

when she informed mc, that her father had tasked each negro, to a certain quantity of cotton each day, &

for every pound they lacked of the compliment, they received a stroke, with a towskin on their naked backs. I immediately determined to be a witness to this diabolical scene. I got my hat and walked out just as thev were in the act of tvir.c ud a

win ie leu 10 exciaim that :tns is a false character which our American

brethren assume. I had not been

21 hours on the shores of Columbia, when I beheld a band of the ill fited cons of Africa driven ino the sugar field by an inhuman master, carrying a large whip in his hand, who seemed to take delight in dealing his blows around on the poor unhappy wretches, (which the laws of this country had placed within his power) with a brutality so savage and inhuman, a? would make you shudder. I followed him into the field, vherc he still continued his horrid practice, while the sighs, the groans and tear of the unhappy negroes, were enough to bring tears from the eyes of any human being whose heart was not of marble or adamant. I quitted the scene of sorrow, inwardly execrating the country and its inhabitants. For a few days I ruminated on what I had seen, but at length persuaded mvself that all! slaveholders were not such inhuman monsters as he who owned the unfortunate slaves that I had seen. I at length determined to satisfy my curiosity. I got myself introduced to one who is called a humane master, and as I expected, was invited to spend a few days at his house. I gladly embraced the opportunity, & in a very short time found myself in the road leading to his plantation. I arrived there about 12 o'clock on the 3d day, and ww apparently received with great kindness. I was introduced t ni wife and daughters, and after a little cnversau :i., found

(amilv, and went about four miles to

a small town, where I stopped for the night, glad at my escape from the house of a man, who I could not consider in any other light than as one

possessed of a licnd-likc disposition.

31y Dear Brother, could vou but

sec the poor negro cultivating the

cane, which yields the jucy sweet;

could you but hear his sighs on

count his tears, while he ii com pell

ed to drag out a miserable life, bear

ing the chains of slave rv and com

pelled to work, until at last nature

gives way and puts an end to his

suttenngs. Could you but sec them

bedewing the cane with tears and

blood! then, I am sure if ever hu-j

manity touched your heart, you would give up that luxury which has been the cause of so much misery to your fcljow creatures but I will not pain your mind with a repetition of all the barbarous usuages which

I have seen the decendants of Afri

cans endure. Suffice it to say, that

in a great part of this country their situation is deplorable; and such,

mat even death would he a blessing. I must conclude, wishing that you may never see such cruelties, as I

nave been compelled to witness.

will write you again shortly on this

sunject.
