“Escape of Slaves —Powerful secret influ
ences are at work from some quarter, by which
slaves are induced to abandon their masters, and
seek a more perfect freedom, at least in their
estimation, than that which is now their lot.
With this self-emancipation will come the ne
cessity of assuming responsibilities unknown to
tho servile condition, and of creating resources
which to the slave are furnished by the master.
Some of the runaways adapt themselves to their
new condition. Many find themselves unequal
to it, and degenerate into paupers. The idea
most of them attach to liberty is that of freedom
from having any thing to do.”

“Ilo*»c, Fancy and memory.”
Hope sheds a brilliancy over the path of futu
rity. She cheers the soul in adversity, com
mands it to forget the present and look for better
times. She bids the inexperienced youth look
forward, and behold the pleasures of manhood.
But when he reaches that stage in life, lie is dis
appointed ; for Hope does not always I’ulfil her
promises. She consoles the desponding spirit
of the Old Man, whose locks have been w hiten
ed by the blasts of many winters, and tells him
of joys to be experienced beyond the grave. She
bids him be calm, and promises that he shall ere
Jong enjoy the pleasure of a blissful world.
Fuucj lends her aid to Hope, and adds new
lustre to her promises. But although it is nat
ural for man to believe the predictions of Hope,
and to expect that he will realize the teachings
of Fancy, the memory of the past ever affords
hitn pleasurable delight.
“ When time who steals our years away,
Shall steal our pleasures too,
The memory of tho past will stay
And half our joys renew"— Moore.
Hope shines as a brilliant star amid the clouds
which overhang the future. Fancy there, also,
sheds a dazzling light, and pictures to the mind
glories which never con be obtained. Mortals
in their career, steer their fragile harks across
tile troubled sea of life, guided by these glaring
meteors. But when amid the raging billows,
tossed to and fro by the winds of time, they look
back at the star of memory, all seems secure
and beautiful. Then the mind becomes filled
with the joys of the past, and would, were i*
able, leap across the abyss of passed vfears, aim
enjoy those pleasures which are so indelibly
stamped upon it.
“ While future hope and f-j a r alike unknown,
I think with pleasure on the past alone ;
Yes, to the past alone my heart confine
And thnse the phantom of what once was mine.”
Byron.
Memory brings to the mind its most pleasant
recollections. It brings the recollections of
times pleasantly spent, of joys for ever passed.
The youth, while he looks forward with fond
anticipations to a future period in life, little
thinks that, at that period his mind will deligld
to dwell on the memory of his youthful days.
He recollected with pleasing emotions the scenes
of his childhood, but relying on the infirm prom
ises of Hope, and believing Fancy’s paintings to
be true, be expects more lasting joys in after
life. But let him ask the hoary headed sire hi s
experience. He will tell him, that his enjoy,
nients have diminished ns his age has increased,
that, his earliest years were those most freed
from cares and anxieties, and in reality ilie most
pleasant of his life. lie will also tell him, that
Hope is a delusion, and that it brings not half
the sweets that are garnered lip in the cells of
memory.
The pleasures of Memory are lasting : they
never vanish Through all the varied scenes of
life, the mind is pleased with early recollections
of friends and scenes forever dead.
Memory is the soul’s chief delight. It is the
reality of the past. “ Hope's summer visions
die.” “ Fancy’s fairy frost work melts away."
But memory’s impression is too deeply graven
upon the mind to be ever effaced.
“Sweet memory, wafted by thy gentle gale,
Oft up the stream of Time I turn my sail.
From (Ace sweet Hope her airy colorings draws,
And Fancy’s flights are subject to thy laws.”
LAUDATOR TEMPOULS ACTI.
Macon, Georgia.
[communicated. ]
Mr. Editor: —From testimony of high author
ity, the evil habits of using snuffs, morphine,
opium, and other narcotic drugs are on the in
crease to an alarming extent. It is presumed,
therefore, you cannot better serve the interest of
humanity than to give publicity to the following
extract from one of our Medical Journals.
‘‘Ah Increasing Evil. ”
“Within a few years past, the btisinessof
vending snuffs, morphine, opium, &c., has great
ly increased. Not so much to the medical fra
ternity us from the intemperate use of them by
individuals in private circles. Tobacco is chew
ed or smoked, because it produces an anodyne
stimulating effect for one or two hours, and then
like brandy or w ine, it must again be repeated
to appease the individual. So, also, is the effect
of swabbing the teeth with snuff, as any thing
short of its narcotic influence would disgust
rather than allay such morbid sensibilities.
However filthy and pernicious the use of tobac
coinany way may be, yet it falls far short of
the more fatal narcotic, opium or morphine ;
greater even, than the common curse of man
kind, alcohol, in some form. When fully initi
ated into the sottish habit of using opium or any
of its preparations, five years and often much
less time will generally end such a career. In
the Ottoman Empire where opium is produced
and against the use of which the several edicts
have been passed,it proves fatal in a much short
er lime.
To be noble is to be virtuous by which our
faculties are developed and perpetuated accord
ing to the natural instincts. To prevent them is
to degenerate, for it is the acquired and not the
natural appetite that demands the opiate, or the
quaffing of diluted alcohol to gratify that which
can’t be done long at a time.” S.
Indians in Canada. —A telegraphic dispatch
dated at Detroit on the 17th ult., says that in
telligence just received there from the Sault,
gives account ot" a great exciteVnent there, in
consequence of a threatened collision between
the Indiansand miners. It appears that the an.
thorities of Canada have refused or neglected to
compensate the Indians for the land now in
possession of the Quebec Mining Company, the
authorities having made themselves responsible
for the payment of the money. The Indians
had stolen three cannon, and, numbering about
200 men, among whom aro thirty white men,
wore on their march to tho works for the pur
pose of attacking the operatives and taking pos
session of tiieir property by force. The most
serious consequences are apprehended, as the
Indians are well armed.
Baden Emigration. —Tho Baden Govern
ment intends to make use of voluntary emigra
tion as a means to get rid of tho revolutionary
elements in the country. For this purpose it
will assist, it is said, out of the public treasury,
those who aro not able to defray their own ex
penses. If this be the case, and the policy is
pursued, (he government of Baden had better
adjourn to the territories of "Uncle Sam” ri
masse
| Later from Haiti. —Captain Tikiob, of the
schooner Dorcas, from Jacumol, Nov. 1, informs
the New York Herald that all is quiet in the
Emperor's dominions, and that the Emperor
was cheerfully arranging the nobility, making
some Lords, some Dukes, &.c. lie further states
that the people were much pleased, and laughed
at what they called the Emperor’s folly. Cap?.
T. says that there is plenty of coffee to be had
there.
Lake Trade. — Some idea of the character
and value of the Lake trade, which is only one
of the agricultural outlets to the market of the
world, may be formed from a paragraph in the
Buffalo Commercial, of the 6th tilt., which
states that on the evening prev ions, 15 steamers,
2 propellers, 2 brigs and 21 schooners, had ar
rived in that port, bringing 160,000 barrels of
flour, 49,000 bushels of wheat, 800 live hogs,
2,500 boxes of cheese, and large quantities of
other produce. This is something for one day.
It is also noticed that the propeller Illinois, at
the same time, was on her way down with 4,-
445 barrels of flour, and 2,113 bushels of wheat,
equal to 580 tons of merchandise; and the
steamer Empire Slate was on her way down,
with 7,ooobarrels of flour, said to be the largest
cargo ever brought by one vessel.
Blunders of Postmasters.— The Augusta
(Me.) Age recently received one of its western ,
exchanges, which had been traveling about be
tween Chicago, Augusta, Ga., and Augusta,
Me., forseveral months. One philanthropic in
dividual luid w-ritten out the Maine in full, for
the accommodation of thoge out West who
might suppose the abbreviation stood for Mis
souri or Mississippi. Another postmaster added
“Don’t send this back to Illinois again.” Anoth
er, in the hope of facilitating its progress, put
on “Away down Eastwhile still another, out
of all patience at seeing the thing come back so
often, put it through with '•’■Maine, you fool,
Maine! ’
The Bitf.r Bit. —Some time since a resolu
tion was introduced into the Lower House of
the Legislature of Tennessee to protect the pro
perty of married ladies. While the resolution
was under discussion, Mr. Moody of Dixon,
moved to amend it by requiring tho ladies to
wear the breeches half the time. In the pro.
eeedings of the House on the 7th inst. is the fol
lowing :
“The Speaker announced that he found upon
his table a bundle labelled ‘important docu
ments,’ which lie was requested to lay before
the House. Upon taking off’ the wrapper, the
'important documents’ proved to ho a crimson
petticoat for the Representative from Dixon—
Moody.”
Some of our grave legislators who oppose the
passage of the celebrated Woman’s Bill in the
Georgia Legislature, had better be careful how
they make insinuations, or they may receive a
similar billet doux to that presented to Mr. Pet
ticoat-Moody.
One Vote. — The New York Day Book says
one single vote sent Oliver Cromwell to the I
long Parliament, Charles Stuart to the scaffold,
revolutionized England and made Great Britain
free. Four votes in the city of New Y’ork,
made Thomas Jefferson President of the United
States ; one vote gave us the taritF of 1842, and
one vote made the tariff 1846. One vote gave
us Texas ; made war with Mexico, slew thou
sands of our people and purchased California,
turned thither the tide of emigration, and will
change the destiny of tho world. The N. Or
leans Crescent says one vote sent Mr. F. B. j
Conrad, of Jefferson, to the (Louisiana House 1
of Representatives of 1848, undone vote keeps i
him out of the Louisiana Senate for 1850.
