SETTING A PRISONER FREE
An escape from bondage in these
thrill: upon the public heart and
gives the pulse a quicker flow, partic
ularly when the world learns that no
roan had any just right to deprive that
prisoner of his liberty.
We witnessed an escape—no it was
not an escape, it was a noble act of
setting- free—one held under restraint
:;atnrday upon one of our City
ferry boats, that gave the heart of
nThre than one who witnessed it a
warmer glow td . gratitude to God that
the lihyn - itor had a heart "to feel' for
other: woe=;" a hetirt in the right
place whore intended man's
heart should be, and nut in his right
hand breeches pocket.
A !nun on the boat had a cage full
of littb• birds. (such as go warbling
alhmt the fields in spring, enjoying
life and liboriv. but, unlike the Cana
ry, die in captivity.) which he was
trying- to sell for a ;billing a piece.
It is a- cruel way to make money:
but why not seize upon birds and put
theth behind iron erttt's and sell them,
since man does the same• thing to his
fellow man. and then calls him his
slave—hr. property. his chattel—which
nobody else must steal, 'because he
stole him himself and the law don't
allow but one theft upon one chattel.
And if the stolen man runs away, his
•• master" -pursues hiM through the
swamps with bloodhounds, or through
the tuwtt_ with the •• bull dogs of war,"
threatening death to any one who
shall dare to set the captive free. Not
so with the birds ; if they do escape
the ca!re and eo back to the fields,
tiny arc not followed by dugs and
*nos, but suffered to go as best they
may back to their own happy homes
among the green boughs and flowers
and hills and rocks and woods.
••Going tl.r a shilling!" said the
man with the ca_...
Yes!" said a little blue-eyed boy
at our side, one shall go for a Ail
ling." And he searched his pockets
1. - ,r the coin. an only one, and walked
up to the•man and said;
••Sir, I will .take one of your little
bird. Give me one that can fl v well."
-Ves, here is a tine one, full fledged ;
you See his wings are perfect, and he
is a strong, healthy bird; he will suit
you exactly." . .
Yes, that will do."
The bird fancier twisted a bit of
paper up so his purchaser could carry
him safely "without injuring a feather."
The boy marched away with his
I prize and sat down to contemplate his
purchase as .he undid one corner of
the paper and peeped in upon his
little slave.
••-Ah.•' "e said mentally. "what a
lonely life of imprisonment I;1111 are
de.,tined to. Why did vou not buy
two, my boy ?" . , -
"I had no more money, or I' would
have bought the whole."
What a young Turk.!"we thought.
H ow we wronged this noble boy.
As the boat neared the shore, he zot
up and went out upon the guard,

poor bird; I can't keep you."
What a happy bird—what a happier
boy. How his eyes glistened. How
a dozen men who witnessed the act
did think what a noble boy. What a
lesson that boy taught us. Reader, it

upon it. This story has a moral—

THE GOLDEN ISLAND or JAPAN.
DT DAVID M. STONE
JAPAN has been almost lost- to the .
world for one hundred and fifty years,'
having, for this space of time; been
nearly as inaccessible to the inhabit
ants of other lands, as if it had existed
upon another planet. From the first
visit of * Europeans, about the middle
of the sixteenth century, down to the
year 1637, a large and rapidly in
creasing trade was carried on with the
Japanese. - In the last mentioned year,
the famous edict against Christians was
issued, and since then the empire has
been almost completely isolated, its
foreign intercourse being confined to
the Dutch and Chinese, and they only
being allowed to make a definite num
ber of visits, and to land at a particular
point, from whence they can learn but
little,. of the interior of the empire.
Japan is not, however, an uncivilized
nation, and although there is mixed
up 'with what is given to us as its his
tory, much that is fabulous, enough is
known to stimulate an ardent desire
.6)r a more intimate acquaintance. A
recent writer upon this' subject has
spoken of "a group of small islands
in the Pacific" as the - seat of this
empire. as if the whole territory might
he comprehended within a good-sized .
harbor. The Island of Niphon, how
ever, the largest of '" the group," is
nineliondred mileslono., and one hen
miles in average width, and the whole
population of the empire is variously
estimated at front twenty-five to fifty
rbnrt !Mil l --
five millions. The Japanese are by
no means a barbarous people; they
have schools and college's, And have
made no insignificant progress in sci
ence and the arts. Their government
is a complete despotism, but the 'pep
ply are the most orderly to be found
in the world. Every man is a °spy
upon his neighbor, and responsible for
his good conduct; and thus, although.
the land is crowded with inhabitants,
no disturbance of the public peace
ever occurs; and as the penalties an
nexed to the laws are certainly .exe
cuted without fear or favor, there are
few infringements of the -code. The
buildings in town and country hear a
strong resemblance to the Chinese,
having the same tent-like form, and
concave roof; and the towers are ,or-,
!lamented with bells, Which serve alike
for decoration, and to guard against
the intrusion of evil spirits. Many of
the residences of the nobility are very=
extensive as well as beautiful, and the
Emperor's palace at' Jeddo is five
leagues in circumference. The build
ings and tower, 'seen in the engraving,
are among the finest specimens of
Japanese architecture, and are roofed.
and coiled With plates of pure gold.
The island receives the name we have
given it, from the profusion of its
auriferous deposits. The Japanese
barks, of which our artist has given
several drawings, resemble the Chi
nese Junk, except that they have but
one mast and a single sail. They are
low , ° . and narrow, and have the same
flat bottom and high stern.
The inhabitants of the empire 'are
better known than the interior of their
country. The men are not as large as
the average of Europeans, but are
muscular, vigorous, and courageous.
.The women -are said to be very beau
tiful, but their customs lead to sad
disfigurements, according to our stand
ard of taste. Thus a lady who is en
gaged to be married, blackens her
teeth in token of her acceptance of
the ambitious wooer; and after mar
riage, plucks out the hair from her
eyebrows, giving a peculiar and un
pleasant expression to the face. The
_however, are not kept in such
extreme subjection as in most other
eastern nations, but are allowed their
liberty without undue restraint; and
when foreigners were tolerated, were
quite lively and sociable with strangers.
If the plans which have been ar
ranged for opening the ports of this
empire shall be successful, there are'
some customs which might be trans
planted to this meridian greatly to our
comfort. The roads of Japan are the
finest in the world; and, always kept
clean, being sprinkled and swept with
brooins. The denizens of our dirty
city, who are always either stifled
With dust, or wallowing in mire, might
well envy the Japanese the luxury of
wholesome streets!
_ The fashions change in Japan as
elsewhere, but never to the same de-
gree, and this is
_perhaps why - the
ncher belles are enabled...to indulge in,
so extensive a. wardrobe. It would
take the entire fortune of a New-York
millionaire, principal as
,well as 'inter
est, to furnish a family of daughtets
with an array of dresses suck as can
be found in the possession of many of
the fair ladies of Jeddo, and other
large cities.- At the • theaterS, the la
dies of the upper classes retire to
change their dress with every change
of scene, and the entire suit of an
American belle, even when fitted out
for a fashionable season at Newport,'
would not suffice to furnish a Japanese
toilet through a single play!
A new light is soon to break in upon
Japan. England has attempted to
cultivate an acquaintance with this
singular people, but has failed. Since
the expulsion of the Christians, brought
about by the constant quarrels between
the Portuguese and the Dutch, and
the mutual jealousies of European
traders, all attempts to renew. the in
tercourse have failed. Russia, proud
and obstinate as she is thought to be,
submitted to he first insulted, in the
person of •her ambassador, and then
turned ignominiously away, like an
unwelcome beggar. Other suppliants
tbr the courtesies of friendly inter
course, have fared no better. It is
now our turn, and the nations of the
old world are already envious at our
prospects of success. We are quite
near each other since California has
been added to . our constellation, and
the Yankee very insinuating,- and
has too hi. , 11 an opinion of the value
of his own trade and society to allow
the Japanese to say "no" when he
pays his neighbor a . visit. We shall
doubtless soon •be on friendly •term;
with these -oriental exclusives, • and .
Jeddo artists may ye vie with Peru
z•Vian milliners in giving- laws to Amer
ican fashions.
"ALL MEN ARE CREATED VIDAL"
[Dec. oflndependence.]
John Petit, who is one of the_ recog:-
nized leaders of the Bogus Democra
cy, which now rules this country, says
this is a " self-evident lie." Thomas
Jefferson said :it was a " self-evident
truth." This is where John and ToM
differ. John says that Toni was not
talking about individuals, hut about
communities : -and only meant that one
community of .mern numerous enough
to form an independent state, was equal
to another community of the same
sort. It somewhat militates against
John's view of Tom's meaning, that
the latter went on to say in the same .
breath, that all men are "endowed by
their Creator, with certain inalienable
rights, among whcli are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness." This
can hardly apply to communities, or
states. But obn further criticises
Tom. He puts the question to his
brother Senators, with startling force:
" are all men created equally tall,
equally broad, equally long, equally
short'?" No, - verily, John. - They are
not. Probably they were not in Mr.
Jefferson's time ; but we do not read
thitt in -the Congress of 177 G there
was any fool to make such a criticism
upon his languao. Palpably John is
correct. There is an endless diversity
of zifts. Who has ears so long as
Petit's. Who has brains so shallow ?
Who has tongue so vulgrr ? No man.
Petit is unequalled in these things,
though in other qualities he is far infe
rior.
But, John, all men are created equal
in their right to " life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness." This is What
Jefferson meant, and what he sup
posed no man could be fool enough
not to know that he- meant.- He but
imperfectly Jived Up to his sublime
doctrine, but he knew it was true, and
so he announced it. •In his writings .
arc other evidence that - he knew the
negro had inalienable rights, of which
he was wronpfully and forcibly dispose
sensed by slavery. He could hardly
have forseen that the Democratic par
ty which he founded, would at this
time be engaged in opening new re
gions for slavery. But so it is.
*JohnTetit exercises his inalienable
right.of making au ass of - himself by
his criticism upon JefferSon J but his
exegesis of this-chapter of our political
Bible Nvill not be generally acceptable
to the people. The time is approadh
ing when the great truth—" ALE. MEN
arc created equal," first announced to
the world on this day, seventy eight
years agti, and defended and enforced
through a bloody Rewolutienary strug
gle, Will becothe a practiial, living re
ality to this whole people.. Let us
then celebrate this day ; not without
humiliation for the past. but with joy
for the blessings that are given to us,
and - a firm resolve to do our part in
making each succeeding Fourth of
July approximate nearer and nearer to
that perfect political condition which
the men of 1776 saw in the diStance, and
which they left to their posterity to ac
comPlish.—Philet Daily Register.
THE WAR.
The Vienna papers announced on
the 17th ult., that Prince Paskiewitsch
had received orders from St. Peters
burg to retire beyond .. the Print',
and thus surrender to the Sultan that
material guarantee'.' so arrogantly
claimed, so insultingly-seized, so feebly,
s'n unskilfully, and pusillanimously de
fended,. •
Whether it be that the Russian Gen
orals found their positions untenable
from the vicinity of the Austran army
+whether the presence of the allies
at Varna haS suddenly impressed them
with the hopelessass of their position.
With a broad river in their rear, pesti
lence in . their•ranks, and au overpow
ering enemy in front; or whether the
series of bloody repulses encountered.
before the walls of Silistria, or whether
a combination of all these circutii
stances have producd this result, can
not exactly be 'known ; but the Times
affirms that in a short time there will
not be one Russian soldier on' the
Western side of the river Pruth.
The Paris Moniteur announces that
on the 13th of June the Turks made a
tremendous sortie from Silistria, and
attacked the Russians with great fury.
General Schilders was dangerously
wounded, and had to be removed to
Kalarasch. It was thought that a body
Of troops had been dispatched from
Shumla. It appears that on the 13th
the Russians sprung three mines be
fore Silistria, without doing any dainge
to the walls. The Russians- storming
columns were prepared to mount the
expected breach, hut were attacked
on three sides by the Turks. A fear
ful slaughter took
_place, arid the Rus
sians tied in terrible disorder. The
Russians were employed on the 11th
and . 15th in
_removing their dead.—
Three Russian Generals were wounded
and all the Russian siege worksfwere
totally destroyed. The same day the
garrison of 'Rustchuk went o'er to the
island of Mokan and destroyed all the
Russian works there.
Teleeraphic dispatches from Vienna
state that a Convention
.has been con
cluded at Constantinople between Aus
tria and the Porte relative to the Dan
ubian principalities. Its principal
Condtions are tha,t if Russia volunta
rily retires the Austrian troops will
enter the principalities and thrrn
fence between Russia and Turkey. If
Russia refuses to retire, Austria gill
take such measures as may appear
necessary to ensure her doing, so.
A dispatch from Trebisonde states
that the Russians have been surprised
and beaten by the Circassians in. thy•
Dariel Pass. "Eighty thousand Aus
trian troops *ere y on their march front
Bohemia towards the Eastern frontier.
All the Austrian Garrisons were be
ing reinforced, and all the disposable
troops were to be concentrated in Vi-
CIIII2.
.the Paris Noniteur publishes an
official notification of the blockades of
the mouth. of the Danube, and of tht.
, Russian ports and harbors in the Bal
tic.
The death of Mussa Pacha, at Sil
istria, is confirmed. He was killed
by a granade after an assault, which
was gallantly repulsed. He refused
2,000,000 roubles offered to him by
"Prince Paskiewitsch. Immediately on
his death being known, Omer Pacha
detached Saram Pacha with 30,000
men to manwuvre as if desirous to
give battle, and under cover of this
movement succeeded in throwing 2,000
Turks into Silistria.
From Greece we learn that after the
• Turks had been worsted at Kalam
berca, they received reinforcements
/and totally defeated Hanji Patros.
Kara Tassos, after obtaining two slight
advantages, had also been defeated.
The allied Ambassadors were negoti
ating an honorable submission for the
insurgents, and there were hopes of
an arrangement.
The attack upon Amapa, on the Cir
cassian coast was to be made by ships
of the line, as the guns of the steamers
were not heavy enough to reach the
Russian works.' Lord Redcliff had
quite recovered. His call from Con
stantinople at the instance of the
French Goverinnent was expected, as
diplomatic action is to be left &trim!
the war, in the hands of the command
er-in-Chief.
CircasSia is all in arm.•, and would
cooperate it was said in, the attack on
Crimea. • The camp of Schamvl is
fortified by European officers, and was
assuming the offensive.
A private telegraphic dispatch re
ceived by a Greek firm in London
states that a military insurrection, sym•
pathized in with by the fleets, hand
-taken place at Sebastopol, and was
with difficulty iurpressed. The sol
diers, it appears, complained of their
treatment and food. The leader tt
Major, had effected his escape.
The Filial:h. Gazette confirms the.
destruction by Admiral Plumrid'e's
iquadron,of wharveq, gunboats, tinaher,
&c., at Braheastadt on the 30th of May,
and at Lleabourg, on the first ofJune.
The vessels engaged were the Le

barrels or tar were burnt, and several
ships laden with cargo - . were inado

mariners were landed at Uleabourg,
and captured the specie in the Bank
Of Finland, the directors of which and
the inhabitants had taken to flight.

Correspoutlence of the North American..
F. S. Gazette.
NirssuisuroN, July 1, 1851.
I can hardly describe the tone of
alarm and gloom and foreboding which
pervades the minds of northern men
in both Houses of Congress. Yester
day a distinguished Democratic mem
ber of the House of Representatives
told me that, after long - and anxious
observation and reflection upon the
events of the last four years, and more
; .
especially upon those of tile last six
months, he was satisfied that "nothing
could now avert civil - War or a disso
lution of the Union." This gentleman
is a politician of long experience; isa
man of wealth- and of the so
cial
,standing; has, or Has had; close
and confidential relations with a part
or; the administration, , -although ho
stands in no need of its favors. Ile is
also a brave and firm man who is not
startled) bv shadows. He -is a conser
vative and moderate man; so much so
that he felt .obliged to stop short of
the extreme length of parliamentary
opposition that - could alone have de
feated the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise. It is the deliberate opinion
of such a man that Southern policy
and Southern measures are driving
this nation to intestine war or a sep
fmtiorm. The impression that such is
the tendency of public eventais be
coming a confirmed- conviction with
the most conservative men and the
profoundest•thinkers from the North,
who have been personal observers and
participants in the scenes- that have
passed on this central theater of action
I;,r the last six months. .They" noiv
believe the sectional quarrel cannot
be settled, because the South, with
that small squadron of Northern
which official patronage.. and a natural
servility of sentiment secure to the
South,"ivill not , allow it td be settled.
They are determined to push time free .
States to the wall.
• The Nebraska bill, the schemes fur
further territorial expansion, and the
Gsdsden treaty, with the open avow
al. of the objects.cennected %with these
nwasures, have caused a complete rev
olution in the minds and feelings of
that powerful class of northern citizens
who, froth.llso to 1852, exadted froth
t'le free States a most reluCtant vet
absolute acquiescence and compliance
with the compromise measures of the
former year. The "Union Men," the
Castle Garden Committees," "Na-1
tional Nen,","Silver Grays," "Hun .
kerst," and nearly all the men Jf
wealth and great business connections
now despair, and give up the effort to
preserve the peace. They entered
upon the task of reconciling the pub
lic mind of the north. to the fugitive
art, the gift of ten millions to Texas,
and the Toombs proviso applied to -
rtah and New Mexico, upon the sol
etan assurance that these were. the
last exactions the South would make
