•it was tmhsolf or his •coal that -preached. His coir
s'Urers smiled at the oddity of lire argument,-and told
him to areas ea bo pleased.
About the year 1830, it wos'tbought advisable,lty
the loading men in the Colonization cause, then in
Its Infancy, to send a secret agent to the South, and
thia,periloQs and arduoua office was tendered to Dr.
Gascon),-by the Board at Washington, which ho
promptly accepted, A more dangerous position Uould
not have been assigned to him at Unit time. The
movements *or the Colonization Society wore regar
ded with extreme jealousy atfd distrust by the entire!
South. The Society was believed to be hostile to the
“ peculiar Institution,” and its efforts met with, the
asnie tgolbpt opposition, denunciation, and threaten
ipga, In the South, that ’afterwards attended the ac
tion of the Abolitionists. Indeed, Colonoziation was,
ol that unto, very little understood, and was regarded
vs synemymous with Abolition. The people of the
South were consegacnTly most bitterly opposed to It,
and in a state of violent excitement at tho time Dr.
Busoom accepted his mission.
His instructions were, to proceed to Now Orleans,
and afle? conferring privately with a Jew persona
who Were known to be favorable- to the movement,
«ct -tra *ho thought most prudent. On arriving there,
andcnnsuliin'g with hit friends, he found that It
would be a moat hazardous undertaking to attempt
to hold a public meeting; and, acting under tire ad-
Vrcc of those with whom ho had consulted, he deter*
■mint'd to have the city without publicly announcing
tho object of his Visit, He had, however, spoken in
several places in Kentucky before going to New
Orleans, and, (lie position being known, his arrival
bad therefore created considerable excitement. This
bo rapidly increased, that a meeting was held by a
number of citizens, at which several inflammatory
speeches were delivered, and a resolution passed re
quiring him to leave the city. A committee of fu
rious and excited individuals was appointed to wait
•on Mm, and notify him to leave Within twenty-four
4)unrs,'Or lake the consequence* At this lime, tho
Hon. Mr. Dawson, of St. Franclsvilie, afteryvardsa
member of Congress from Louisians, a bold, gallant,
nnd Impulsive man, was tm a visit to' Now Orleans.
He was a man of real and no excite ment ever
arose, where he was, that he.did not join one side or
the other, and generally, ho was inclined to the wea
ker side. True to fils nature, when the excitement
aroi 9 against Dr. Bsscotn, Dawson, although ho was,
personalty, a total stranger to him, assumed a bold
•land,in his defence, and immediately sol about a
plan for his protection. How he succeeded we shall
presently see.
The committee called on Dr. Bascom, informed
him-of the excited slate of public and order-1
dd (iftn'to leave the city In twenty-four hours, or take
thettonsoquences, which they asserted Would be most
serious. '‘.Gentlemen,** said he, in reply* “I had 1
intended to leave to-morrow morning! tmlnow.shrce
you haveurdenrtf me to leave, t shall remain three
days longer lam an American citizen, and claim
tljo tight guaranteed to me by the Constitution of my
country.’* The committee were thunderstruck by
tho boldnces of thin reply, and hastily left, the room.
The committee had scarcely disappeared before
loud voices and the trump of men ,>wcro heard sp
' Hie room. Anticipating somclhtng serious,
Dr. Bascom arose, door, and looking
Into (he full, .suw • advancing towards him 4 I'irgc
crowd of rough men, led by one who had the air and
dress bfa gentleman. Ho fearlessly confronted them,
and demanded (he object of errand. Mr. Daw-,
•on—-for it was he who led this uncouth band—
laughed, and assured him that he was his friend.—
lire whole party were llren invited into his room by
Mr. untcom, when Onwscn informed them who ho
was, ro-ssaured him of his friendship, and explained
tho nature of his visit. •‘These,’* said he, “are oil
boatmen from Kentucky, Ohio; Virginia, Indians,
Missouri and Tennessee. Most of them have heard
you preach in times past; and those who have not
heard you themselves, have hoard of you from their
mother or friend* When I heard of your danger,
Mr. Oosoom, I determined to gp to the levee, and
appeal to them for your protection; and you see the
result. Wo have just met the Committee, and I told
them if they dared to touch a hair of your head—if
they dsrod (o put you in prlsob, we wouldn't leave
q stone of their calaboose standing, There's a thou
sand mere such brave boys as these at the levee, and
they alt sweat they’ll die for you." Overpowered by
the chivalry of Dawson, and the manliness and affec
tion of (ho hardy boatmen, Dr, Basconi wept as he
returned hie heartfelt thanks. That night tho streets
In tho vicinity oflho hotel at which Dr. Brtcum was
stopping, were alive with the brave, honest boatmen
of (ho West, each ono ready to peiil his life in do
fence of (ho great preacher. But no violence was
attempted; and before he loft the city, Dr. Bssoom
had (he pleasure of organizing a promising Coloni
zation Society, many of the most influential ellixone
becoming Itfu members.
Leaving Now Orleans, Dr. Bateom proceeded up
tho river to Natchez. He had previously written to
a friend to procure a church, in which he wished to
deliver a public discourse In favor of Colonization.
iTlre church of Dr, Putts, who afterwards had the
controversy with Dr. WaiowHgh(,of New York, had
been secured for (list purpose; and when he arrived,
which was about the appointed hour, Dr. Bascom
1 proceeded directly (a (he piece of meeting. He was
met itl the door by the leading members of the Me.
thodist church of that city, and ul«o by Mr* Potts, all
of whom implored him not to attempt to speak.—
They declared that the public mind was highly in
censed against him, and that there wore at that time
a number of armed men in the church, determined
to use violence if he attempted to speak. This did
nut in the least intimidate him; butiesisUngolUheir
importunities, Dr. Bascom marched directly through
(he church, and ascended the pulpit. Knowing that
delay was dangerous, he did nut take Ms seat, but
turning to the audience, ho tnld them that ho wee
aware of (ho excited state of public fooling—aware
of threatened violence; but he asked, es a right, to
be heard before being condemned—to bo heard one
hour—and then he would submit (o any punishment
of which he might ho deemed deserving. The words
were uttered ropidty, and were promptly answered
by a man who arose in the midst of the audience,
and cried, with an oath, that he should ho hoard.—
This was the.same Mr. Dawson, who hud played so
conspicuous a pa rt In his behalf at Now Dries ns. He
shad learned Dr. Baseom's destination, and with (ho
same chivalrous spirit Which led him Aral to espouse

TUB FROZEN SHIP*
A tHBILLING SKETCH,
At this period, when so much fcnxte'y prevails
respecting the fate .of Sir John Franklin, tavety
thins relating-to the.polar ifgionjs pf interest.
The following is a thrilling sketch : , . •’
One serene evening in the middle of August,'
1775, Capt. Warre'ns, the master of a Greenland
whaleshfp; found himself becalmed among an Im
mense number of icebergs, in about 77 degrees of
north .latitude. On one aide and within a mile of
hia Teasel, these were chiefly wedged togetlrer,
and a succession of snow*Cover6d peaks appeared
behind each other ae far as ihe-e’ye could reach,
showing that .the ocean was loompleiely blocked
up in that quarter, and that llWl probably been
so for a long period of time. Capt. Warrens did
not feel altogether satisfied with hia situation, but
there being no wind, he could not move one- way
ortho other, and ho therefore kepi a strict watch
knowing that he, must be safe as long as the ice
bergs kept in their respective places.
About midnight the wind rose to a pate accom
panied by thick showers of snow, while a suc
cession of tremendous thundering, grinding and
crashing noises, gave fearful evidence that the ice
was in motion. _TJje vessel received violent
shock* every of tfiq 'at
mosphere prevented those on board from discover
ing In what dlreciion the open water lav, or if
there was actually any at all on either side of
them, *1 he night was spent in inching as often
as any cause of danger happened to present itself,
and In the morning the storm abated, and Capt,
Warrens found to hie great Joy that his ship had
not sustained any serious injury, He remarked
with surprise that the accumulated icebergs, which
had on the previous evening formed an impenetra
ble barrier, had been separated and disarranged
by the wind, am) In one place a canal of open sea
wound its course among them as fur as the eye
could discern.
ft was two miles beyond the entrance of this
canal that a ahip.made lie appearance about noon*
The sun shone brightly at the lime, and a gentle
breeie blew from the north* At first some Inter
vening Icebergs prevented Cant, Warrena from
distinctly seeing anything but tier masts; but he
was struck with the strange manner in which her
sails were disposed, and with the dismantled as
pect 6f her yards and rigging. She continued to
jo before the wind for a few furlong*, and then,
(rounding on the low icebergs, remained mution
ess.
Captain Warrena* curiosity was so much exci
ted that he immediately leaped into his boat with
several seamen, and rowed towards her. On ap
proaching, ho observed that her hull was misers
bly weather-beaten, and not a aoul appeared upon
the deck, which was covered with snow to a con
siderable deptfi. Ho hailed hqr crow several
times, but no answer was returned. Previous to
steppmg.on board, an open porl-hnld near the main
chains caught his eye, and on looking Into il bp
perceived a man reclining back on a chair, with
writing materials upon a table before him, but the
feebleness ol tho light made every thing indistinct.
Ihe parly went upon deck, and having removed
the hatchway, which they found closed, they de
scended to the cabin. Tbo> first came to the
apartment which Captain Warrens had viewed
through the port-hole, A tremor seised him as ho
entered it. Its Inmate retained his former position
and seemed to bo insensible 'to strangers. He
was found to be a corpse, and a green damp mould
had covered his cheeks and forehead, and veiled
hla open eye-balls. He had a pen In hie hand
and a log-book lay before him, the last sentence
in whose unfinished page ran thus—“ Nov. 14,
1763. Wo have now been employed In the ice
seventeen days. The fire went out yesterday,
and our master has been trying over since to kin
dle It, but without success. His wife died title
morning. There Is ho relief—**
Capt; Warrena and his.seamen hurried from the
spot without saying a word. On entering the
principal cabin, (he first object that attracted their
attention was the dead body of a female reclining
on a bed, in an altitude of deep Interest and alien,
lion. Her countenance.retained the frcahnfc'slTof
lifo, and a contraction of the limbs showed that
her form was Inanimate; and seated upon the
floor was the corpse of an apparently young man, I
holding a steel in one hand and a film In the oilier,
as if in the aot of striking fire upon some tinder
which lay beside him. In the fore part of the
vessel several sailors were found lying dead in
their berths, and the body of a boy was crouched
at the bottom of the gangway stairs. Neither
provisions or fuel could be discovered anywhere,
out Capt. Warrens was prevented by the super
stitious prejudices of his seamen from examining
tbe vessel as minutely as he wished to have done.
He therefore carried away tho log-book, already
mentioned, returned to his own ship, and Immedi
ately steered southward deeply impressed with
the awful example !)© had Just witnessed, of the
danger of navigating tho polar seas in high nor
thern latitudes. .
On returning to England he made varolus In

A largo portion of our best moral impressions
and sentiments havo been suggested, reiterated
and fastened on tho mind by the family press.—
the pulpit does much; parental instruction in
many cases does much; but the press more than
either, often more than both. Loiany reader of a
well conducted family paper, open Its pages and
consider thoughtfully Us contents. There are in
a single number from one hundred and fifty to two
hundred separate and distinct articles, each one
conveying an Idea, a fact or a sentiment, and sla
ted or illustrated so as to produce an effect in en
larging the reader's store of knowledge, or giving
a right direction to thought, feeling ot action.—-
Must not all this have its influence, and In the ag
gregate a mighty Influence upon the reader. Wo
think so.
No reflecting man can fall to see that the fifty
two visits in a year of a carefully conducted paper,
intelligent, correct, elevated in its moral lone, and
withal interesting In its contents,, must exert a
great and good Influence on domestic life. Chll.
dren growing op under such influences, are far
more likely to be intcliigent, correct in their opin
ions and morals, and better prepared for the active
duties of life, than they could possibly haVo been
without it— Pulpit Reporter.

Poisonous Effect* of Sew E*rthcnvrste.
A somewhat singular though nol unaccountable
occurrence look place in tbo family of a gentleman
in one of our neighboring towns, a abort lime alncei
It appears there waa a Urge number of (be gentle*!
man’a family and connecliona to partake a Thanks,
giving dinner, numbering In all twcnly.lhrea per. 1
aona. The uaual variety aerved on auoh occasions
covered the banquet boards and the party partook of
it with the proper roliali. Twenty of the party re.
mained over night and took breakfaat with ibeir boat
the ensuing morning. A large chicken pie, whiph
had not been touched the day before, was served out
to them at this timo. In a few hours after, seven*

( only those who ale of the plo woro Iho ones who «uf*

land partaken freely of it,suffering alike with the
I rest, of course removed all suspicions of intentional
poisoning. The query now is, whst'wai thoro in
this pie, or about It, that shuuld*produco these effects?
The pie was baked in a yellow earthen dish, (bat
had never been used before ( end the conclusion
necessarily is, that its contents became Imprcgnsnl
with portions of the enamel with which It wuslined,
ond hence the consequence. , Now the enamel used
by potter* varies in composition, according to the 1
purposes for which the ware is intended. They all, 1
we believe, contain mure or less load, cobalt, die.— 1
Often tho bisout as it is called, le made of clay which
