(I.ein, it is a fact too glaring to meet with coulr.v
ili.'tion, that multitudes equally degraded, and
■. r whom our compassions ought to be as easily
and generously excited, live and die neglected
and forgotten at borne. Africa has been travel
led by the fcet of Christian missionaries, and ma
ny of her wild and unlettered sons are now in
structed in the principles of the Gospel ; the sav
age of our os>n forests has of late become the ob
ject of pious commiseration ; and the luxurious
Asiatick, rescued from self-immolation by the
constraining love of Christ, has devoted himself
a “ living sacrifice to God.” And these things
have not been directed by the operation of mys
terious or hidden causes. In every step of this
work of reformation may-be traced the instru
mentality of the church, and the restoring p .w
----cr of the Gospel. Treasures have been expend
ed in its progress, and the most valuable lives
have been worn out and are still wearing out for
rts completion.
Against these operations of enlarged benevo
lence we - do uol, and dure not contend ; but we
may be permitted to ask on what principle we
overlook the Heathen in our own country—the
perishing immortals within the borders of our Re
publiok ? There are now in the states and territo
ries belonging to the Union between one andrtwo
millions of slaves, who, in point ofreligion, may
tjje ranked with the pagan world ; and yet little
Tor nothing, comparatively, is done for their salva
tion. With their political condition we have no
wish to interfere, but barely remark, in reference
to this subject, that the scheme of emancipation
in all its forms in which it has been presented,
appears to us to be wild and destructive. We
find them upon our hands, and are bound, to me
liorate their condition as far as circumstances
will permit, and especially are we bound to pro
vide for their religious instruction. The same
spirit which is opening the way of life to the
Greenlander, to the Indian, and to the African
abroad, ought to proclaim the riches and freedom
of grace to our stares at home. We are well
aware that we are treading on delicate ground,
but we feel an unwonted.confidence, that every
candid reader will essentially accord with us in
the observations which we are about to submit.—
-AVe shall express ourselves with freedom, as
Christian honesty needs no disguise.
That our slaves ought to be instructed in the
principles of lice Christian religion, is a proposi
tion which admits of easy and abundant proof.
They constitute a part of the great human family
who have been guilty of a defection from Jeho
vuh v and to whom the terms of eternal life are
proposed through .Jesus Christ. ‘1 he Bible is the
only volume which gives us any rational or prob
able account of the origin of our r; ce ; and we.
have in that volume no intimation of the creation
of more than a single pair. We are elsew here
expressly told, that God “ hath made of one
blood all nations of men.” It is no stcret to us,
that many have warmly contended, that the
complexion and features of our slaves furnish
striking evidence of inferiority of rank, and dis
tinctness of origin from other men;—but the prin
ciples of enlightened philosophy can easily solve
the apparent mysteries which occur in the inves
tigation of this subject. Science and revelation
unite in teaching us that our slaves possess a com
mon nature with ourselves—and if so, they equal
ly need the consolations of the Gospel. With us,
too, they are the heirs of immortality. Their
servitude is merely adventitious—it belongs to the
circumstances of the body, and not to the essence
of the soul. However degraded their present
. condition, aud how low soever the rank which
they sustain in the scale of intelligences, they
are still destined to outlive the sun and stars—
and must be judged according to the deeds done in
the body. This fact alone is too solemn and af
fecting to suffer us to live and die in peace, while
the eternal interests of our servants are entirely
neglected. But perhaps a more interesting con
sideration iu favour of their religious instruction
cannot bp presented, than that which respects
their peculiar condition in life. The present
generation of slaves in the United States, are
thrown as orphans upon the care and charity of
Christians. They are generally the children of
those who were brought from their native land to,
country during the period of colonial govern
ment ; and in those acts which brought them in
to bondage we have had no concern. Their fa
thtrs, who were torn from benighted Africa, have
dropped their chains and mingled with the dead,
and those who were so blinded by avarice as,-to
reconcile with their consciences this traffic!; in
human sh .-h, have long since appeared before the
impartial tribunal of heaven ; —but the effects of
this traffick—the descendants of these fathers,
are still among us. We are .bound, bv every
principle of humanity, to feed and clothe and pro
tect them, for they are incapable of seeking their
own provision and security. The providence of
God and former generations have bequeathed
i them to us, whether as a blessing or a curse we
will not undertake to determine, and we are
bound by religion and humanity to consult their
temporal and eternal good. Every feeling heart
\must shudder at the anticipation, that these
‘friendless orphans who are cast upon our chari
ties, should hereafter charge this Christian na
tion with the scarlet sin of shutting the gates of
mercy against them !
The practical good which would result from a
proper system of religious instruction for the
blacks, isnotless apparent than the duly. Un
der the divine government interest and duty go
hand in hand. They are so firmly wedded, that
no earthly power can tear them asunder. The
religion of the gospel is wisely adapted to every
condition oflife. It breaks down in some meas
ure, the distinctions of society which have been
erected by pride and power, and restores the
sympathies of primeval brotherhood. In the
church of Christ and in the participation of gos
pel ordinances, if nowhere else, the prince and
the beggar—the master and the slave, are on the
footing of equality. The consolations of religion
are confined to no condition of life. They visit
with equal readiness, the inmate of the palace and
(ha tenant of the cottage, and rentier every situa-1
tion tolerable to him whose heart is the temple
of the Internal Spirit, and whose bosom is cheered
with the hope of approaching glory. And upon
whom can the Christian religion produce a more
happy effect,, than upon those who live and die
in bondage ? Piety emancipates the soul—con
fers qpon them the distinction of immortal men—
and supports them in that condition of life which
is beyond the reach of the ordiuary motives which
influence hpruau conduct. The operation of the
Christian religion ia making more virtuous and
faithlul servants, cannot be denied. Experience
has already settled this question ; —and the New
1 estament expressly enjoins obedience to masters
upon those servants whose spiritual freedom has
been purchased by the blood of Christ. Were
the gospel revered and loved, aud its practical
principles affectionately and solemnly enforced,
we should be spared from many of those conflicts
which must ever result from enforcing obedience
by the single motive of fear. The general and
political advantages of a judicious course of reli
gious instruction for our blacks, would be great
indeed. It is in Christian principle alone, that in
certain circumstances of the country', we must
look for ultimate security. Religion would do
more than all other agents, to consolidate their
interests with ours. Let the servant feel that
he enjoys the distinction of a son of God—that
he is the heir of the same glory to which patri
archs jiid apostles aspired, and he will cheerfully
submit to the lot, though an humble and painful
one, which has been appointed him here below.
The principles of insurrection would no more
rankle in his heart, and the schemes of mischief
which are now sometimes contrived and executed
would be done away forever. Africa too might
inherit a rich and extensive blessing from our re
ligious slaves. Some of them in time might re
ceive their freedom, aiyl returning to their native
shores, proclaim salvation to that land of darkness
and idols. It is pleasing to indulge the anticipa
tions of future good;—to look forward to the
time when a wise and controling Providence,
ever educing good from evil, will cause all the
tears and groans and stripes and chains of Africa,
to evenutate in the spread of the gospel, and in
an accession of unnumbered converts to the
kingdom of Christ.
It might perhaps be inferred from the general
strain of the foregoing remarks, that we intended
to insinuate that no religious instruction is afford
ed the blacks This however is not our design.
That they are too much neglected, is a fact which
cannot be denied. In the upper parts of the
state the Methodist clergy appear to have been
most useful among them ;—and in the low coun
try a large proportion of professors are Baptists.
But we believe there is,mo part of our state where
their eternal interests have been more carefully
studied, than in the Medway settlements in the
County of JLiberty. We have been for some
time past expecting from a friend in that quarter,
a particular account of their system of instruction,
and a history of its practical effects. Such facts
ought to be presented to the pnblick, that others
may be induced to go and do likewise.
AMERICAN BIBLE BOCiEljr.-
The fifth anniversary of this National Institu
tion was celebrated in the city of New York, on
the 10th of May last. The Hon. Elias Boudinot,
the venerable President and benefactor of the So
ciety was once more permitted to attend an'gn
nual meeting and witness the rising prospects of
that grand institution which owes much to his af
fectionate case and liberal patronage. The trans
actions of the society wiil hereafter be published
at large.
From the treasurer’s report it appears that the
receipts for the las.t year ending the Ist of May,
1821, were $49,578 34
The expenditures 47,759 60
The Society issued during the past year,
29,000 Bibles, ‘and 30,000 New Testaments—
besides have received from the British and For
eign Bible Society, 300 French Testaments for
distribution in Louisiana. These copies of the
Word of God, embrace seven languages—English,
German, French, Spanish, Dutch, Gaelick and
Welch.
There are now 238 B.hle Societies in the United
States auxijjary to Ihe Parent Institution.
At the late anniversary, the usual resolutions
were past and thanks voted ; and several gentle
men addressed the Society in an eloquent and
impressive manner. Their speeches,which breathe
the spirit of the present day in relation to the
worth of the Bible and the spread of the Gospel,
will hereafter be presented to the publick.

Messrs. Editors,
About two months since T left home on a jour
ney to tlm state of Tennessee. Passing through
<he Cherokee nation, I called on the Rev. Mr.
Hall at one of the Missionary Stations, and prea
ched in his house. Here I got much information
relative to the state and prospects of mr sions—
and was very sorry that it happened to the
time of their vacation. But I saw *iie
children at their respective homes, f h
j them and examined them, and was higl
ed with their improvement. It rejoiceo if-d/very
soul to find, that through the instrumentality of
missionary and tract societies, the wilderness and
the solitary places are made glad, and the desert
is not only blossoming as the rose, but the fruit
has already appeared, I was highly pleased to
see many of the natives of the forest engaged in
cultivating the soil, and to find them much more
decent and cleanly in their appearance than I j
expected. They appear very friendly.
One thing gave me real sorrow of heart. I hap- !
pened where the natives, several hundreds of both
sexes, were playing at Ball, and observed a white
man, who, on the most frivolous occasions, would
make use of the most profane language, taking
the name of the God of heaven in vain. There
were some the half-breed, who spoke the na
tive and the English language, and when they
wished to follow the example of the white people
in blasphemous language they would and must
needs borrow our language, for they have none of
their own tvhich they, can abuse that Holy
7
j Name. It ia tlieae outcasts of society, who, for
causes best known to themselves, have forsaken
the land of civilization, that have corrupted the
morals of Aborigines. Jlnd will not God
avenge for these thingsl When those who have
enjoyed the opportunity of reading the Holy Scrip
i lure which is able to make them wist unto sal
j ration by faith which is in Christ , have so abused
| the bles.-iug, are not satisfied iu pursuing the
j broad road to death alone, but must lead the sim
: pie astray, what may they expect must be their
1 punishment ? I was also credibly informed that
most of the whites among them are drunkards.
1 was grieved to find in the Nation a pamphlet
of bitter controversy written by a preacher of
South Carolina. This I found at the house of a
man who is perplexed with deistical sentiments.
I’his production we may suppose has had a ten
dency to harden him in his errour, when the Bible
tells him, .all Christians are taught by the same
Spirit, and great shall be their peace. These
things ought not so to be. These bitter contra
dictions, 1 think a reproach to the profession, and
calculated to do much injury where the Gospel is
just dawning. But the truth will ptevail against
all opposition from whatever quarter. Yes, God
sits in the heavens beholding the. evil and. the
good, and will rule and overrule till the Scriptures
be fulfilled, when he will give his Son the heathen
for lus inheritance and the uttermost parts of the
earth for his possession. Then let the friends of
Missions go forward ; 1 bid you God speed ; the
Lord of Sabbaolh is on your side.
Yours, £. BATTLE.

Snake Bile. A daughter of Mr. Ira Allen was !
a few days since - bitten on the leg by a poisonous
snake, supposed to be the highland mucus in.
Mr. Allen applied the spirits of hartshorn to the
wound, and gave it internally, but without seem
ing to abate the swelling or the pain. A short
time after 1 was called in, and found the patient
in considerable distress, the wounded part very
much swelled aud inflamed. I immediately ap
plied the cupping-glass, and drew out what could
be drawn from the fungous wounds; then made
an incision across the same, and drew about 12
or 15 drachms of blood. The ligature was then
moved, the pain abated, the swelling subsided,
and the parts became soft. In a short time the
child was able to walk about, and is now neariy
or quite well.
As cupping is a remedy seldom resorled to in
curing the bite of snakes, perhaps the mention of
this case may induce others to apply it, with like
success, in similar cases. J. G. G.

LATEST FROM ENGLAND.
The ship Manhattan, arrived at New York,
has brought London papers to the 17th, and Liv
erpool to the 19th of April inclusive—the follow
ing extract contains news of considerable impor
tance if true. The London Sun contains the fol
lowing as an extract of a letter from Paris dated
the 4th of April.
“ the arrival ot Count Nesselrode has put all
Paris in an uproar. He comes with a proposal
from the Emperour of Russia to suffer tl>e passage
of a Russian army of 100,000 or 200,000 men,
according to circumstances, through France to
Spain, of whicli a certain number,say 40,000 shall
rest in France, and be te placed by an equal num
ber of French troops from the Spanish campaign.
The Austrians were welcomed into the city of
Naples by the population genetally, with boister
ous acclamations and cries of Viva el Re. The
multitude was so great that it was with difficulty
the troops could proceed. The people came to
meet them with branches of olive in their hands.
Paris, Feb. I. —The -following details show
how far the liberty of the press is enjoyed in Chi
na.
There has appeared for some years in tl's em
pire an official Gazette, which is regarded as the
organ of the government, in every thing that re
lates to the laws, religion, manners Sc habits of the
country. Every article is submitted to the cen-
I sorship of the Emperour before it is put to the
press, and after his majesty has given his sanction,
not a syllable of it may'be changed ; the least in
fraction of this rule, would be punished with death.
In 1813, an individual invested with an employ
ment in one of the courts of justice, and also con
cerned in the management of the post offices, was
condemned to a capital punishment for having in
serted false intelligence in the Gazette. The sen
tence of the judges is founded upon this officer
having been convicted of treating the Emperour
with disrespect. The Chinese Gazette contains
an account of the publick business of this immense
Empire, extracts from petitions of the people and
■the Emperours answers, also the favours which he
has deigned to grant. It also contains the impe
rial ordinances,and it appears every day in pamph
lets of from 60 to 70 pages. It must be some
thing of a task for his majesty, in his daily avoca
tions, to revise the whole of this daily publica
tion. ,

Georgia and Alabama line of Stages. —lt may
not be amiss to notice, for the information of per
sons at a distance, and travellers generally, that
the Georgia and Alabama line of stages was put
(and continues) in operation agreeably to the
tenour of the advertisement of the mail contrac
tors ; therefore no disappointment need be ap
prehended by passengers, unless from high wa
ters, which in some few instances oflate, have in
terrupted the mails in several directions—less
perhaps on the stage route than any other: on
the whole, we feel authorized, from our know
ledge of the arrangements, in assuring the pub
lick, that it may be relied on as a safe and expe
ditious means of conveyance ; and that travellers
speak of it as affording great relief from the trouble
—expense, and risk, incident to private convey
ance, as in the event of the disqualification of a
carriage, or horse, extra ones are stationed along
the road to supply their places. *

A day or two past, a Bird of a singular kind was
killed in South-Carolina, a short distance from
the Bridge. It is we belie re, of the Pelican kind,
and its carcass is yet to be seen at Capt. Elligood’s.
The following is a description of it given us by a
gentleman who examined itThe wings, from
tip to tip, 8 feet 7 1-2 inches ; the height, i. e.
from the end of the bill to the webs, 5 feet 5 inches;
length of the bill 18 inches; the bag under the
bill is in circumference about 30 inches ; between
the legs 18 inches; weight 25 or 30 lbs. The
wings are tipped about 6 or 8 inches deep with
black—the remainder of the body is white, and
particularly the neck, which is of the softest down
On the upper part of the bill about 2 or 3 inches
is a protuberance of a hard honey substance, ri
sing an inch and a half, and forming a semi-circle;
and on the head there is a tuft of 3 or 4 inches
setting back. It is very powerful in its construc
tion,! he bones being of singular size—particularly
the ribs, which are like those of a child.

Literary. —We have perused a letter from an
intelligent gentleman in London staling among
other things, that there are two more novels in the
press, from the mysterious Author of Waverly.
Mr. Washington Irvin's Sketch Book has passed
to its fourth edition. The publisher, Mr. Murray,
has observed that the sale of this work is unex
ampled—considering the high price of the num
bers and that the author has been heretofore un
known to fame. Mr. Irving has been travelling
in France with a view to new Sketches. The
picture recently painted by our young townsman
Mr. G. S. Newton, and sold to Mr. Hope in Lon
don, has been so admired, that with the owncr’jj
consent, it is to be engraved by one of the best
artists who applied to him forthat purpose. One
“T lhp. nnhlications in noticing the merits of this
painting, observes that “ it does honour to the
country where (he author was born, and to the
British school, where he was educated.”
American Loyalists. —By a decision in the Brit
ish House of Commons on the 21s( of March last,
the claims of American loyalists, presented in the
year 1783, are now declared valid.

Fraud in Cotton. —Another instance of the de
testable practice of fraud in the packing of cotton,
was detected in this city on Friday last. A lot
of 14 bales at 14 1-4, and three bales at 12 1-2
cents per lb. was purchased by a merchant ir.
King-street, on examining which it appeared that
seven bales of the former, and one of the latter,
consisted of very inferiour quality, ingeniously
plated on the outside to the thickness of from 2
to three inches prime cotton The whole of the
eight bales were adjudged, by four respectable
merchants who were called to examine the same,
to be worth not more than 7 cents per lb. with
the expense of mending and repacking charged
thereon; It appears from the certificate of the
persons who brought the cotton to town, and sold
it, that it was owned and packed by Clemins
JtTGarrity, living on Sugar Creek, in Union’ dis
trict.
T.orenso Dow , who hd been convicted of a li
bel on the memory of the Rev. Mr. Hammett,
deceased, was yesterday sentenced by Judge
Johnston, to pay a fine ofyane dollar, and be im
prisoned twenty-four hours, ‘fhe Judge accom
panied the sentence with several very just and be
nevolent remaiks We learn that the sentence
has been remitted by the Governour.

that the Chiliau army, near Lima, had fought two
battles with the Royal army, in both of which the
Chilian army was victorious ; and it was supposed

Arbitrary T,aw. —The Legislature of Kentucky
have passed a law prohibiting printers of newspa
pers from receiving more than three dollars tor
publishing an order of court, let it be long or

more than a dollar for a barrel of flour, or fifty
cents for an acre of land. Bost. Gas.
