‘ The passage of emancipation laws
in Maryland, and Missouri, will liber
ate about two hundred thousand
slaves, and Kentucky will swell the
number to two hundred thousand
.more. The legislature of the latter
state has adopted a resolution in fa*
vor of emancipation, the consent of
the owners beiug obtained, and com"
.pensation made. This is a prelimina
ry. The consent of the owners will
have to come.”
William Cartwright.
“William Cartwright (1611-1643)
was one of Ben Jonson’s adopted
sous of the muses, and of his
works Jonson remarked — ‘ My
son Cartwright writes all like a
man.’ Cartwright was a favorite
with his cotemporaries, who loved
him living, and deplored liis early
death. This poet was the son of an
innkeeper at Cirencester, who had
.squandered away a patrimonial es
tate. In 1638, after completing his
education at Oxford, Cartwright en
tered into holy orders. He was a
zealous royalist, and was imprisoned,
by the parliamentary forces, when
they arrived in Oxford, in 1642. In
1643, he was, chosen junior proctor of
the university, and was also reader in
metaphysics. At this time, the poet
is said to have studied sixteen hours
a‘day! Towards the close of the
same year, Cartwright canglit a ma
lignant fever, called the camp disease,
then prevalent at Oxford, and died
December 23, 1643. The kmg, who
was then at Oxford, went into mourn-
f it Cutwright’s death ; and when
works were published, in 1651, no
• • s man fifty copea of encomiastic
verses were prefixed to them, by the
wits and scholais of the time. It is
d ificult to conceive, from the perusal
of Cartwiight’a poems, why he should
have obtained such extraordinary ap-
■jiiiisft, ami reputation. His pieces
ar mostly short, occasional produc
tions, addresses to ladies, and noble-
:> n. nr to bis brother poets, Fletcher,
i Jonson, or slight amatory effu-
;ons, not distinguished for elegance,
,> fancy. His youthful virtues, Ins
learning, loyalty, and admiration of
genius, 6e«m to bare mainly contribu
ted to liis popularity, and his prema
ture death would renew and deepen
the impression of his worth, and tal
ents. Cartwright must have cultiva
ted poetry in his youth : ho was only
twenty-six when Ben Jonson died,
and the compliment quoted above,
seems to prove that he had then been
busy with liis pen. He mourned the
loss of his poetical father, in one of
his best effusions, in which be thus
eulogises Jonson’s dramatic pow
ers :—
‘But thou still puts true passion on : dost write
With the samecourage that tried captains fight;
Giv’st the right blush anu color unto things;
Low, without creeping, high, without loss of
wings;
Smooth, yet not weak, and, by a thorough care,
Big, without swelling, without painting, fair.’ ”
“The Island of St. Domingo, be
fore the emancipation of the negroes,
produced seven hundred million
pounds of sugar, being more than all
the world put together. After eman
cipation, it was compelled to import
that article.”
