The most joyous feeling of my heart is the

on as peacefully, prosperously and brilliantly,
'as it has its the past. If so, then we shall
exhibit a moral and political spectacle to the
world - something like the prophetic vision of
Ezekiel, when he saw a number of distinct
beings or living creatural, each with a separ
ate and distinct organism, having the func
tions of life within itself,lll of one extereal
likeness, and all, at the same time, mysteri
ously connected with one common animating
spirit pervading the whole, - so that when the
c o m mon spirit rnpved, they all moved; their
appearance and their work being, as it were,
a wheel in the middle of a wheel ; and
whithersnever the common spirit went,
thither the others went, all - going together ;
and when they went, be heard the noise of
their smotionlike the-noise of great waters, as
the voice of the Almighty;
Should our experiment succeed, such will
be Our exhibition—A machinery - of Govern•
meat's° intricate,,so-complicated, with so
*any separate an distinct' parts, so many
independent States, each perfect in the an; i
butes,and function" of sovereignty, within its
own jurisdiction, -all, nevertheless, united
under tte control of a common directing
power for external objects and purposes, niay
natural enough seem novel, strange and in
explicable to the philolopliers'•or crowned
heads of the world
It is for us, and those who - shall come after

injustice to any ; not by keeping out any

coganism within itself—all bound together
for general objects, under a common Federal
head ; as it were, a wheel within- a relied.

amounts to this; The, people of Marron'
favor 'amalgamation, an idesr that we,in their

implies that, as John is a very, good fellow,
&et, and only ("starter slack, tbeY approve_ the
match. Should some ebony aspire to the
hand of their offspring, they must welcome
hiin,—provided always he is 'only quarter
nigger, according to their doctrine. We
claim that if amalgamation is allowable, with
quadroons, it is no less so with Ethiopians ;
therefore in defending this case, 'the 17 do
nothing less than /%113V1 themselves as advo ,

From the lude s pondent Republican
To the Public-.
We, the eubscrihers, "citizens of Hit rford
township, respectfully represent, that, in oar
opinion, erroneous impressions are received by
the public - from the published-proceedings of
a publid meeting in Hnrford,held - on the 256.
of Feb., -1859. We reside in the immediate
neighborhood of the parents of John Sophia.
His father is part African, and part French ;
known not how much of the African precisely,
•as he has• no recollection of his parents.
Some believe him to be ha . if bred African,
whilesothers believe him to ,be lepin than half.
We take : pleasure in certifying that, so far
as we know, , they hive always sustained a
good reputation in all the relations of life.
As professing Christians, they; have jived
exemplary; as neighbors, obliging and friend
ly ;
_patrons of our district school; liberal
and earnest friends of edUcation. We were
without a school image last summer, and
their daughter was employed to teach in her
father's house, and gave entire satisfaction as
a teacher. T e house' has -been open for
meetings for prayer and conference, and those
meet inp. were as well attended at their house
as anywhere in tfie neighborhood.
In short, as respectable families as we have
in town have visited them repeatedly,'and in
sited them to their houses.
As to John Sophia, be has been reared in
our midst, and we know nothing against him,
in any way previous to his marriage. HO is
a member of the Congregational Church in
Ilarford, and the Choir. Of couse be is no
mote than one-fourth Mica°, and may
not he so much as that.
The family have the habits and respecta
bility of our best citizens, and hare never
associated with other than respectable
people.
We the subscribers, believe the above to
be a simple statement of facts, and desire
their publication.

being. Arne narratives of stranze adventures
in New York, and startling . facts in city
life. By a reporter of the New York
press. 1 Vol.,- 12ttio., cloth. Illustrated,
Price $l. -
This remarkable book adds a strange but
anihentic chapter to the history of the city
of INi . ew York,and exposes one of its mot cor
rupt and dangerous institutions, bringing to
ROL:tome strange doings of the notorious
Mrs. Cunningham.
Every itnporiant particularof the-narrative,
which by many was believed to be mere fancy
sketches, has been established by the affida
vits of the actors in the ,scenes destribed.
See New Yotk Evening, Net. of March 3d,
and also Appendix' at end of the Work.
"We venture to say that thirty-three those
startling chapters are rarely found within the
corers of a It'mo. volume. They are direct,
pungent, personal, and, in the wonderful
traps and pitfalls which they disclose in our
metropolis, will attract universal at:notion.
The Reporter exhibiis - them!as shams (if the
'shammiek.' character; and - while he tins pre
pared for us a most readable book, he has
put in our b ands lamp to' guide us out of
the way of dangers that beset city .. life."—

This is the title of a new work soon to np
pear","of which the author in his preface says:
"The subject of the following pages is
American Civilization, as-symbolised by the
institutions of the cbiefState in the Republic.
No State so completely represents the char
acteristic tendencies of society in our country
as_New York. •- Superior to all others in
population, wealth and exechtive power
ontainiog a representr i iiive of every style of
' character and ability at work in our new
confederacy ; closely linked:with every inter
est in ate Union ; its condition i‘, perhaps,
the best mirror in which we can behold the
reflection of our - pieeent progrent, and the
obstacles that hinder our inure rapid advance
merit. •
"Thewriter has selected thechief :epresen.
tative institutions of the capital city of New
York, as )iuggestive of-whatilife should be in
every free commonwealth. The
.work is,
therefore,.concerned with local themes, only
as they lead the Mind to theHonsideratiun of
the great privileges and obligationsof Ameri
can citizenship. It is a sincere endeavor to
aid the young men and women of our land
in their attempt to realize a _character that
shall justify our professions of republicanism,
and.to establish a civilization which, in be
coming -national, shall illustrate every princi•
ple ofa.pure.Clitittlianity.
