(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. Communication. 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. TO THE EDITORS OF THE MISSIONARY. 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. June 5, 1821. Foreign and Domcstick Intelligence. 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. , Communicated for the Phil. Gaz. May 14. li U. S.

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. [Geo. Advertiser. 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.

Charleston, Mat 15. 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.
