I have lis 1 just long ettough to cease wonderine at every discovery of wicked4 m ncss and therefore think the surest wa sl m i always be adopted to force shameto accompany it. I remember in the vision of Donqoeredo, the 'leil himself is introduced preaching orthol-x doctrine but rendering it so far as possible, subservient to bass purp ics ; thus I have discovered bi the Centinei wrangler many pood remark hatl thev been p: operly applied.

But as human for this they merit praise.

No consideration conhad long become, alikepseffiVale to nected with earthly felicity, can rank the just reproaches ofv haoraiworth, higher in the breast of a virtuous man, and the virtuous remonstrances of than Justice ; this feeling, not parmoral honesty To demonstrate this tial or contracted, is common to all in part, I could publish a letter writ- good citizens ; and he who acts, ten by that man in February 1817 to speaks or writes in opposition to its Mr. Thomas Fulton in regard to lie- dictates, must be an ingratc to sociegrocs who had absconded from one of ty. Such ingrates our citizens will our most respectable citizens. But no longer endure their best interests, other names are mentioned in the let- feelings and happiness, have been

ter, and at this time I will refrain ; when it becomes more necessary the ....... k - public shall have it. I truly lament there are such men, and I am particuiany rousea oy tneir continuea endeavours to deceive the negroes and by causing them to abandon their legal masters, jeopardize their guaranteed freedom. But alter all, these honett 11 1 S . ft . 1 liberators can in some instances keep in servitude as many negroes as their neighbours, and can sell them out of tne state too, as occasion requires : still however, although their endcavours only tend to disturb society and injure servants, they have the hardihood through their new fangled advocates, to claim honor for aiding in the noble cause of freedom. Yes ! believe them St their meiit is equal to those who aided in the arduous Struggle for national independence ! m that conquest Mr Stout our fathers toughtand bled, and shall our ears be shocked in the winter of life by being told that men actuated by all the baser passions men, who indulge in the most malignant feelings men who seek gain by injuring their neighbors in violation cf all honor right and justire, are influenced by the motives which fired the breast and stimulated the arm of a Washington ? out upon such degrading duplicity. If these pretended liberators wish to co operate in thi cause of freedom, why not visit our brethren in Virginia. Carolina, Georgia or Louisiana r or why not go at once to a country where so far is it is safe, liberty is not secured by law ! I mean South-America ; where thev might aid in securing freedom to millions, by sharing in the blood and toil of war ? Is it the fear of danger, or the lack of nrofit. or tho. o f -t ----- O- . tt . aoandonment ot malicious teelmg that forbids thi? On the abstract question of freedom in the U. States, there is, there can be hut one opinion Our fathers proclaimed their sentiments upon the subject, and it is only by gradual advances we can improve upon them. But suppose every man free from legal restraint, would their condition be improved ? and let it be rememb ;red the use of the switch is denied by la.v, except under certain circumstances. Would every freeman work for himself and gain an hottest livelihood, and if so how many lamentable instances may be found to the contrary ? How in that ease a-eje bettered? would they not ii evjjjbly become under evi ti r circijianfces, the dupes and destructive agents of a few worthless characters, and after ail, support themselves mainly by theft ? Is n ivii 5 the en- t . f idleness and does it not lead to the worst sort of slavery ? I mean the gaol. That this is an unnecessary and somewhat incompassionate mode of argument I am willing to admit but In. contending with such an unrestrained w-;nr as the Plebeian, the cause ot justice and humanity must not bend to expediency or blind con passion. Every man knows that a love of the entire exemption of all r attaint, is one feeling-; the desire to recommend happiness in a rational way but restrained bey nd that, is another the first is incompatible with virtu us liberty, but it would seem to suit the Plebeian ; the last is compatible with a perfect stat - iieedom under our consutu-

tion anrt laws, an4 tl is that I inculcate.

Let the negrors have justice yes, I would give them more than strict justice ; I would lead them in the paths of uprightness and truth and particularly gjard them against the pestiferous influence of vicious men, who only poison their happiness and excite tnem to acts of desperation Hut to do this it is not necessary to - J) ny neighbor of that for nhicn he p u i ni honest earnings and now held, uncj" I will do all in my power to contiibutt nuuuii uaujiiivo ucv.t oan--r s; ft tion the ill-directed endeavos&that can oi.lv lead to human misery. It joy unadulterated bliss on earth, yet it should afford every man pleasure to behold the hanniness of his fellow citmade the hobby of political quacks 8c impostcrs too lon- hereafter thev y will treat their servants as the servants may merit under the law ; but the dcft. . M signing mischiet making miscreant, who may be discovered prompting negroes to wrong, to violence, or to disobedience, it is him they will send to the Missiasioni" soul driver." i have only to rem ai in conclusion that we have citizens who think very coirectly upon the subject here noticed, and as they arc more accustomed to nut their thoughts n paper than myself, I could wish them to come forward ; if they will not however, and it should appear necessary, yu shall a 'rain near tr m P rIL0 VINDBX. m Candidates at the )iext August election.
