When they consented to come before tho public to aid ill a worthy and patriotic cause, it was not with the expectation that their performance and appearance would be publicly criticised, ns if they were stago actors and actresses, much less did they supposo that any one could ho found willing to indulge in remarks so offensive to them and disreputable to the author. If his object was to make a display of wit, ho failed most signally. If he wished to excite tho indignation of tho community, ho succeeded well. Only ono picture escaped his attempt at sar casm, nnd upon one lie was particularly sovero. But a man who would “fast for several dags, in order to get,at the supper table, tho worth” of a small sum of money grudg ingly contributed to tho preservation from ruin, of the home and grave of tho "Father of Ids country,” could not ho expected to appreciate the "spirit' that animated his breast and sustained him In his struggles for those blessings so unworthily enjoyed hy some.

The crucifix is everywhere—by the roadside at inter vals, and whore two wavs meet, in the paths through vhieynrus, in every house every cottage, almost every chamber, i Origin of Slavery. Mr. Brnncroft, in tie' first volume of his history of tho United States, gives an account of the eurly traffic of the Europeans in slaves. Iu tho middle ages tho Venetians purchased white men, Christians and others, and sold them to the Saracens in Sicily and Spain. In England the Anglo-Saxon nobility sold their servants as slaves to foreigners. Tlm Portuguese first im ported negro slaves from western Africa into Europe in 1442. Spain soon en gaged in tho traffic, nnd negro slaves abounded in some places of that king dom. After America was discovered tin* Indians of Hispaniola wero import ed into S|Nim and made slaves. Tho Spaniards visited the coast of North America and kidnapped thousands of the Indians, whom they transported in to slavery In Europe nnd the West In dies. Columbus himself kidnapped f>00 native Americans and sent them in to Spain, that they might he publicly sold at Seville, 'i'lio practice of selling North American Indians into bondage continued two centuries. Negro slave ry was first introduced into America by Spanish slaveholder who emigrated with their negroes. A royal edict of Spain authorized negro slavery in America iu 1518. King Ferdinand sent from Seville fifty slaves to labor in the mines. Iu 1531 tlm direct traffic in slaves between Africa and Hispaniola was enjoyed hy royal ordinance, has Casas, who saw the Indians vanishing awn\ he fore the cruelty of tlm Spani ards. suggested that the negroes, who alone could endure severe toils, might ho further employed. This was iu 1318. Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng lishman tlmt engaged ill tho slave trade. In 1332 he transported a large cargo of slaves to Hispaniola. In 1337 another expedition was prepared, and Queen Klliilicth protected and shared in tho traffic. Hawkins, in one of his expedi tions, set fire to an African city, and out of three thousand inhabitant* succeed ed iu seizing two hundred and sixty. Jamas Smith, of Boston, and Thomas Kcysor first brought the colonies to par ticipate iu slavery. In 1034 they im ported a cargo of negroes. Throughout Massachusetts the cry of justice was raised against them as malefactors and murderers ; the guilty men wero com mitted for tlm offence, and the repre sentatives of the peoplo ordered the ne groes to he .cstored to tliir native coun try at tho public expense. At at a later period there were both Indian and negro slaves in Massachusetts. In 10J8 a Dutch ship entered James river and landed twenty negroes for sale. This was the epoch of t lie intro duction of* slavery .into Virginia. For many years tiie Dutch wore principally concerned iu the slave trade ill the market of Virginia. Late News.
