I’linlevs’ Hills in particului'—Duns in
(■cui'ial.
There is certainly embedded somewhere in
human nature, a principle which leads men to
turn up their noses at printers’ bills. Os all
sorts ofdnns, a. printers’ dun is I he most undone
dun. There is test neither m#bt nor day for
the solo ol Ins foul, and a denial to him is a
mallorso natural, tlmi be bus become a stand
in# monument ol patience. Those who wish
to prepare tboiusolvoß for elevation m eternity,
ought lo engage lo collect debts lor a printer.
Job’s long sulibringspirit is a "mere circum
stance” to that id a printer's dim. Wo arc
well aware that (he bust kind of a dun is a bo -o
must inioloiu'ilc. He is a man, to make tbo
best of linn, who carries with Inin a multitude
ofcalainilies, and, like u camel before a simoon,
all*soils of people can scent bis approach.
“Mr. J. Bniilb, hero is your bill for a small
mat ter duo tho oflico of the ' Luminous Illumi
nator.' This is the fifteenth time that 1 have
called, and you will oblige me by ‘ponying up.”
Mr. Smith puts on bis sjn eludes, approach
es Ibo collector, inspects tie bill, and walks
I oil'saying, “Pshaw, tbiso printers’ bills are
nmsiincos. 'i’en years I buvo subscribed lo
tbo Illuminator, and what good lias it done ! i
I can’t see any benefit that 1 have reaped from
if. 1 only subscribed to patronize the concern.
Didn't expect to be leased every day with a
tr llmg account. Stop my paper!”
The reply of Mr. John Smith, contains the
very phi osophy oflhe thing. Mr. Smith can
not see the “benefit he I.us reaped from the
Luminoui Illuminator,” and henco he won’t
pay die bill. Now, when Mr. John Smith
ii ;ys a coal to keep out the cold, tbo benefit be
reaps from it is tangible. 110 can comprehend
[ the i/i lid pro quo. Hut a newspaper shuts out
| ignorance Irom the nobler, the inlolleetiml
porufin of bis irate re, and it is therefore in
comprehensible. llu can’t feel it, and tbere
rore says il is not. Wo believe that school
! masters' bills, doctors’ lulls, lawyers' bill, and
i divines’ lulls, are all more dillicult e r colleclion,
than shoe makers’, grocers’ or merchants'
| lul s. The reasons is because the “benefits
\ reaped,” are not susceptible of touch or visual
demonstration. The ruling principle is the
| samu throughout Christendom.
Most persons can feel the absence of a
newspaper, although they cannot comprehend
i iis presence. It is a s taple, gentle, daily ad-
I visit. It ciunes freighted with noiseless news
, lo every man’s door, and most persons take K
lip as they do the hand of a long tried friend,
whose Argus eyed nature penetrates all qur.r
-' tors of the horizon. Like that triend 100, few
know Us loss until it occurs, and then there
I is a vacancy in lire day—an insipid hour m
! the morning, tlmi used lo be filled with the
pleasing instruction winch il brought. Ah! ye
two legged sinners that neglect ibo printer,
1 think ot the intolerable curiosity which your
newspaper has Iroqnenily relieved you of, and
; then go straightway and repent!

most excellent and honest set ol subscribers ; !

\V„ have been informed that a second dotach

Sunday.—The emigration will now go on rapid
ly. In a few weeks the whole Cherokee nation
East will he on their way In the West. We
have observed that a correspondent of the “Wes»
tern Georgian," published at Koine, Georgia, has
uttered some censures upon Cicn. Scott, and rep
resented John Kossas being unpopular, and stales
that great dissension exists amongst lire Indians.
If wo are correctly informed, and we think we
arc, these car sores of General Scott are wholly
gratuitous, and the story of John Ross’s unpopu
larity amongst his people eniiroly false. In our
opinion, General Scott is entitled to great credit
lor lho correct and humane course he has pursui d;
and wo arc sure that a more popular man with
his own people di.es not live than John Ross.
Thcto is, to ho sure, some opposition to Mr. Ross

Duitish OiMti.M SMUoouius.—lt is an old aril
sensible observation that the world is a strange

have glaring instances of an inconsistency in the
actions of societies and communities, which, it
exhibited hy an individual, would inevitably con
sign hint to an abode in a Lunaiic Asylum.
We were led to the above reflection by some
paragraphs which have recently appeared in cer
tain of the English papers, relative to the endeavor
to force the trade of opium in the celestial empire,
contrary to the open mandates eflho Emperor—
mandates founded on the best and most enlight
ened principles.
I All who are familiar with the dreadful effects
produced hy llte excessive use of opium—effects
ten lime's more to be uepricated than those at uml
aut otr the ,’inmoderalc use ol spirituous liquors—
must respect the motives which have induced the
Emperor of China to forbid the importation of
this baleful drug' into bis extensive dominions.
The opium trade L.'*, however, long been the
most profitable hranci.' vd commerce between the
Rritish East Indies and ll>c Celestial Empire.
The Christian subjects of the Rritish Government
have held lire monopoly of this i. r ade, and its sup
pression, of ceuisc, interferes gtc.. w’ith their

Abolitionism la Practice. l r
'l’iic citizens of New York ami iho entire
American people, are in a fair w ay of understand
ing the character and tendency of Abolitionism,
by the light thrown upon the subject by passing j
events. The New York Committee of Vigilance,
which, it will be remembered, is made up ol white
and black men, led on by the infamous David ,
Kugglcs, their black secretary and agent, is avow -
edly acting in the name and by tire inaction ol 1
the American Anti-Slavery Society, and is the
subject of continual eulogy in Ike Emancipator.
I their official organ.
t II is but a few days since a worthy and respect
able while man, tiro captain of a vessel winch ar
rived here from Africa, was arrested on the oath
of tliis negro Haggles, on lire charge ol kidnap
! pmg four Africans, and bringing them into this
country as Staves; and by Iris means, and by
ibis committee, the Captain was pursued into
one ol the Eastern States, imprisoned us a felon,
relea-cd only upon enormous bail, and was obliged
i to defend bis ease at air immense expense be me
onr courts. Meanwhile Haggles and his clan
I appealed to the public for funds to carry on his
j prosecution, and a largo amount war o'o.aincd
1 from the abolitionists for the purpose hut no
sooner was the case brought to trial than it was
dismissed as a wholly groundless ai d vexatious
suit, and the rascal Uugglcs, anti his parly escap
with impunity because of their pauperism.
Eul now we have another more flagrant exam
ple of tiro villainy of this committee of vigilance,
which ought to open the eyes of our citizens in
the North as well us the South, to the enormities
of abolitionism. A gentleman who arrives here
with his confidential servant, to whom he en
trusts all his property, and of whose attachment
to his person he has ample evidence, finds that
servant abducted by clandestine means, together
with $B,OOO and concealed by this committee of
vigilance until $l,OOO reward is offered fur his ar
rest, and the recovery of lh» money. Then, for
sooth, a friend of this Huggles, after frequent itr
terviews with hint, as he admits under oath, visits
the gentleman robbed anil oilers to recover the
money, on condition of thu freedom of the servant,
the $l,OOO reward, ami the pledge not to prose
cute either the thief or his accessar ies; and byway
of proving ibal he could produce a part of the
money, he pays over to bint between one and two
thousand. At a subsequent interview ho pays
some two thousand more, and when arrested by
thu police; he gives up two thousand more decla
ring that lin's is all be has yet been able to recov
er, thus admitting elrher that be lias access to the
thief, or that tiro stolen money is in the hands of
necessaries, probably those of the Committee of
Vigilance, of which Haggles is tire principal,
In the menu lime, Hugglos goes to the master
for the clothes of tire slave, whom ho represents
to have gone to Canada, but since denies knowing
any thing about him. Still, however, a portion
of iho money is not recovered, though the whole
of the parlies, as far as delected, are now before
the police, and Hugglos together with his white
friends are under hail fur their appearance at the
Sessions for trial, and will, it is to be hoped, to
coive their deserts.
During the examination at the police, several
of the leading Abolitionists were sworn hut they
all had the gift of ignorance. One of them, who
acknowledges that he lives next door to the bouse
where the rubbery was committed, and that this
basement is occupied by a colored family, while
he passes lor a while man, testifies ho heard his
wife say that Tom, the thief, was in the basement
of Iris house, having run away Horn Iris master,
1 but professes to know nothing more about him.
1 None of them will tell where the slave is conceal
ed, where they have obtained the money or
where the rest of the sum is to he found. Vhere
~,t ho little doubt that if Tom could bo forth'
there would be a disclosure of names
and pet- 1,18 implicated in this abduction and rob
bery" vvhiCi' * 8 deemed vastly important to con.

The aspect of this however, which is most
j important, is the exempli..-B* ve *
! practical tendencies of Ahohi. f he Com
, milieu of Vigilance boast that thealready
I sent oil’ to England and Canada son. e * wo bull *
j dred fugitive slaves, and they are even p. 'claim
ing their readiness to conceal and scad oh
such who may reach New York, thus inviting' '
them here lor the purpose. Many of those have
be n seduced from their masters while hereon a
visit or passing with their servants through the
city, and no doubt many of thorn, before running
away, rob their masters It is possible that this
committee find the spoils useful in rlreir vocation,
us they would have been in the present case but
lor detection.
Hut the act of Tom in absconding, as well as
plundering his master, was the direct result of
. the Abolition doctrines, taught him by Iris new
1 associates here.—He was insuuc'cd that his mas
ter, whom ho had loved rind front whom be bad
received nought but kindness, was nevertheless a
‘•rubber, a pirate, a matt stealer,” and that ail his
money was the price of blood.—And as Ire had
'•robbed Torn of himself,” ho in turn had a tight
to rob his master of a sum sufficient to pay him i
for his services—especially if ho would divide the
spoils with Haggles and some ••three or four” ol’
this Committee of Vigilance, for tiro benefit of
j the cause.
| We advise iho Executive Committee of the
American Anti Slavery Society, to publish, lortli
' with, a ‘•Narrative of this Torn, an American
j Slave,” now that their “narrative of James Wil
-1 hums” has been shown to boa “foul foster of
' falsehood.” Eel bis portrait bo taken as in the
1 other case, together with that of the rascal Hug- !
glcsand the other “three or four” who have shared i
in the money.—This narrative might sell as well j
as the former, and tiro truth would fro sufficiently
; horrible, without any fiction, especially if it |
ends, as it ought, in ihe State prison.—.V. 1

night, when tiro eclipse was complete; the birds
retired to their resting places; the fowls to their

beauty, and all was still.
j When the sun began to re appear, a largo
number of musicians, students of Drown Urn
