T3ATA2P& HOLIDAY;
A. SCENE OF THE WAE IN HUNGARY
Translated from thi ■ German for iA c Slorai Post,
BI 'Wit. J. BOSE.
It was a dark night in the borough -of St.
Thomas. No nor could it be
regretted that Heaven saw opt what was passing
upon Earth.
_ . Men who*had grown up together in kindness
and friendship, who lived in the Bame street, nay,
beneath the very same roof, who were bonnd to
. one another by the ties of blood, of relationship,
gratitude, and duty, and had been acoußtomed,
. " from their earliest year, to’ Bharo each other’s
‘ " - 'joy and Borrow, all at once, as if gone mad with
some hellish inspiration, began to devise plans
for mutual destruction, and to fill eir ear
. - -.with the most hlood-thirsty hatred against those
who had never harmed them. ■
' It was St. Eustatius’ Day. The as
sembled in the church, in order, as they said,-to
- ? eml) But no Gospel toaohmg.npsoleihn
■ organ were heard MBOundiag there,
"w«dvoioeswhioh annonneed approaching
' deeds'of horror; and the consecrated roof re-
Mhoed hoarse cries, of battle and fnry.
The inhabitants of the borough, were.quiet.—
’ Those'of them who saw the windows of their
' neighbors illuminated, or noticed the grim faces
hntrving past to the church, said to themselves,
“The Raitzen hold high festival to-day!” and
felt no further concern, hut went tranquilly to
bed Towards 12 o’clock, however, the alarm
bells pealed out their summons, the doors of the
house of God opened, and the midnight blood
With^ferocious yells the infuriated rabble
- rushed into the houses of their sleeping neigh
bors. It seemed as if they had some bitter, lqng
• - remembered injury to avenge, so fierce, sodev
' ilish was to rage with which they murdered all
those whose windows were not lighted up; for
this was the signal winch the Raizen had adopt
• ed lest some of their own people might be at
tacked in their dwellings, by mistake.
In less than two hours, the whole Magyar
copulation of the borough were slaughtered, with
the exception of a few, who had managed to escape
theeommon massaore in cars and other vehioles.
•But even these, too, were pursued, and when the
uproar in the neighborhood, the noise of conflict
■hid the clang of the tocsin, had long died away,
from time to time a oiy of mortal agony and of
despair would break upon the stillness of the
night, from the surrounding fields, ob some ve
hicle fast imbedded in that treaoherous marshy
: • soil, was overtaken and its fogitive occupant pit
ilessly butchered. At length, even these heart
" Tending sounds were hushed. The voices of
- terrurand of pain were no longer heard, hut m
1 their stead arose from more than one quarter of
the illuminated borough, the sounds of music
and dancing and savage merriment.
It was long past midnight, when a car rolled
through the now desolate streets of St. Thomas.
Within it sal a man closely wrapped in his man
tle; and exhibiting extreme astonishment at the
numerous lights and tho hubbub of loud rejom
ing In front of his own house door, he checked
' his horse. To his complete amazement, his
dwelling, too, was illuminated, and from within,
: gaymusic, the buzz of voices and the rush of
-dancing feet burst upon his ear. At once, sur
nrised and alarmed, he stepped on tiptoe to the
window and gazed in,through it, upon a number
of Well known faces. . , ...
The company, intoxicated with wine anil wild
with enjoyment, sang and shouted and drank out
of his glasses and danced about like maniacs,
through his chamber. They were all old cronies,
and inhabitants of the borough.
Unacquainted, as he was, with tho events of
this night, the whole scene rose before him like
a dream. , ~ • . .
- But now, a jauntily dressed woman attracted
' fiis gaze. She was skipping about among the
guests with loud laughter and immodeßt gestures,
and seemed to take the most delighted and
prominent part in these abandoned orgies. At
first he could not distinguish who Bhe was; but,
suddenly, he recognizes her:—it » hu own
•wife *
.«gtop ! he rather howled than shouted,
and dashed into the room where the Saturnalia I
' were going on. Yot, ho knew not what he Bhould
say or do; it was hard to find a word that could
express the fury whioh possessed him.
“Stophe thqndered, while every hbre of
his frame quivered with passion,—■“ What do ye
At his sudden appearance, the guests stood for
an instant as if converted into stone. The very
boldest stepped back ot the sight of this unex
pected apparition, as he sprang into their midst,
’ fearful to look upon and ghastly pale-, Done ven
: tured to approach him. Be strode towards hie
wife—a dark-haired— black-eyed creature with
josy eheeks ana voluptuous figure,—whostood
ihere iike an effigy of marble. Ho fixed his
eves darting their deadly lightnings, upon hers,
aid oried “ Down on thy knees, wife!
Th© woman did not stir.
“ Upon thy knees, wretch!” shouted the in
fnriated man, and dealt her a blow with his
clenched hand upon her face, that foiled her to
■ the floor. . .
“Stop vile dog!” was now the exclamation
from all sides. The Raitzen rushed forwards,
and the* distracted husband was grasped by twen
ty sinewy hands. Ho struggled agaraßt them
matched one of his assailants by the throat, and
although himself hurled to the floor and trodden
underfoot, he let not go his hold, until hm an
tagonist had ceased to breathe. The rest, at
. once bound his hands, aml flung him into a
corner of the apartment. They then formed a
• circle round him. „„ , , .
“What want ye of me? —he asked, while
blood streamed from bis month.
“"What want we ? Look around thee. Dost
thou not see that here are none but Raitzen ?
replied a gigantic, blaok-eyed Serb, as he scowl
ed darkly upon the unhappy prisoner.
“And lam a Magyar. What more ?
“ Ask thy neighbors 1 Host thou not heard
that to day, we celebrate our festival? The
festival of the destruction of the Magyars?—
Thou, too, art one of them, the last in the
borough. All tho rest are dead. As the last
thou shalt choose thine own mode of death ! ”
“Thou, then, art the executioner, Baau?
“I? yes, I have been ohosen by my people,”
with a fearful curse, such as belongs only to the
Hungarian tongne, the Magyar, at these words,
spat in his enemy’s face.
“Scoundrel!” growled, through his teeth,
r - the exasperated man, “ For this, shalt thou
, weep tears of blood I ”
“ Weep? What I? Who has ever seen me
weep ? Ye might bntoher me, ye might pnt me
to the rack, ye might tear me limb from limb ;
there are enough of ye to do it, bnt see me weep,
ye °bsll not, should ye burst with impotent fu
ry!”
■t, \Yeep, thou shalt, and I am he who will
make thee weep! Know then that it is I who
have dishonored thy wife, and for whom she has
‘ betrayed thee!”
' “ That is thy shame, not mine.
“ All thy kindred ore murdered. ”
“ Better that they should lie stark and stiff
upon the streets than breathe the same air with
thee.” ,
• “ All that was thine is destroyed !’
. -- “May God destroy, also, those who do like
* »
thee!” '
“ By my faith, thou art a oold-blooded fel
low. But stay!—thou hadst a daughter, too, a
sweet, innocent child—”
The Magyar gazed upon his torturer ana
shuddered. , ■ ,
“Lina, methinks, was her name, continued
the Serb, as, with refined cruelty, he slowly
drawled his words.
“ What—what meanest thou ? M asked the
trembling father.
> “ A comely damsel, on my word! Tempting,
ravishing to look upon, was she not ?”

“So young, too, only thirteen years; po deli

with these words he broke out into a hendish

A Democratic State Convention will be held at Har

purpose of iiominuting a candidate for the office of Canal
Commissioner, in be supported at the ensuing October
Also, to elect delegates to represent the State in the

Resolved? That the Democrats of the First
Ward hold their primary meeting at the Napo

On motion,
Resolved, That the Democrats of the several
Wards be requested to assemble at their usual
places of meeting on Saturday the 20tb instant,
between the hours of 3 and o’clock, for the
purpose of electing five delegates from each
Ward, to meet in convention on the following

the PRIMARY meetings.
Our friends will recoUeot, that they are called
upon to perform, this afternoon, a very important
duty. In their primary capacity they are called
upon to chose Word Delegatee, who shall select,
from among the number of worthy men belong
ing to the Democratic party, a candidate for the
office of Mayor. The duty of choosing delegates
1b one that Bhould be as faithfully attended to by
every voter, as any other duty of freemen. —
Every voter should be at his post, at the proper
time; because, if he shall abstain from perform
ing his duty, delegates may be chosen who do
; not reflect the will of the majority; and a candi
| date may be nominated roally obnoxious to a
majority of his political friends. On the other
hand, none but voters should be permitted to
exercise the privilege of choosing Delegates;
because, if such as are not qualified to vote, may
be permitted to take part in this choice, the
wishes of a majority of the voters of a Ward,
I and indeed of the entire city, may be as effec-
I tually expatriated as though they were driven
I from the polls, or from the city itself. Every
I voter in each Ward should therefore attend the
meetings to-day ; and when there he should use
all his efforts to suppress any thing wrong—to
appoint good men to take charge of the Tally-
I Books, to prevent all from marking who are not
I qualified to vote, —to see that every qualified
I voter, who wishes to participate in the primary
I election, enjoys that privilege,—and thus aid in
I guarding our elections from all impurity and
I irregularity. All that the friends of either can-
I didate have a right to ask is—fair play; and all
I have a right to insist on this. Let every thing
I be done “decently and in order,” and no one
I will have just cause to complain of the result.
Editors, and What Is JBxpaoted from
them Without Charge,
There Is many a journalist now languishing in
poverty, while dozens to whose success in busi
ness he gave the first impure, roll by him in
their carriages, and have forgotten his very ex
istence. There is no country, save ours, in the
world where journalists are expected to do so
TOtirth work for the special benefit of others,
without recompense. Generally, out of this
country, Editors are inaccessible if not anony
mous ; they may let you know what they think,
but not who thinks it. You cannot walk into an
Editor’s room in London or Paris and ask him
to devote his time and his columns to your own
advancement and profit. Here this is done ev
ery day, even by utter strangers. Half an Edi
tor’s time—sometimes his whole day, throwing
over his proper work into the night—is given
up to receiving the oalla, listening to the stories
nnH obeying the requests of one good natured
friend after another, who drops in to try his
chances of getting ten times as valuable an ad
vertisement out of him for nothing as he would
be likely to get out of the publishers by regu
larly paying. If he fails, he loses dßthing—for
■ he plenty of brass left—-if he succeeds, he
; has used his time to decided advantage. And
I thus is civility abused —thus is good feeling im
| posed upon. Many an editor receives several
letters in a day requesting him to do this and
that, to hunt up information and forward statis
tics or documents —for the benefit of utter
I strangess, or mere acquaintances, who have no
I shadow or claim to tax him.—A r . Y- t Tribune.
I above is “truthful and to the point”
I Scarcely a day passes by but we receive a visit
I from some kind friend who has some grand
I project to unfold to us, whereby he alone will
I be benefited. For fear of being denounced os
I selfish and ill-natured, we are compelled to lis-
I ten for an hour or two to a long stoiy which in
[ terests us not the least; and then, to conclude
I the annoyance, our visiter politely invites us to
I walk a couple of miles to examine a piece of
I machinery, the workings of which we know as
1 little about as we do about the domestic oonoems
I of- the inhabitants of the moon—thus robbing
j us of one or two boors more pf preoious time,
I without remunerating us therefor. Another of
I the delights of editorial life is to do some ten
I or twenty dollars worth of advertising and job
I printing (besides gratuitous puffing) for some
I fair or charity ball, and then be asked to make
I a donation of the amount l We have known
such things to be done ! If compositors would
work for nothing, and paper and ink manufac
turers and type founders furnish materials gra
tuitously, then editors could afford to be as lib
eral as the wealthiest philanthropist in the world!
’ The Lawrence Journal , alluding to the
assertion of the Harrisburgh Keystone , that
Thomas J. Power, who is set down by that jour
nal as against Mr. Buohanan, has been appoint
ed a delegate to the Harrisburg Convention from
tiie Beaver district, says:—“Not quite bo fast,
Mr. Keystone. Mr. Power isn’t Senatorial dele
gate yet Butler and Lawrence have something
to say in the matter. Mr. Power is a very clev
er man, and there is no other man m the district
we would sooner see go as a delegate, provided
he would represent the wishes of the district,
and come out ond out for Buchanan.' ’
“A Democrat of 1800,” writing from
Luzerne county to the editors of the Pennsylva
fuan, warmly urges the nomination *of Joseph Y.
James, Esq- of Warren county, for Speaker of
the next House of Representatives of this State.
He says that “Mr. James is; in pomt of legisla
tive service, the oldest member of that body.—
He is calm and dignified, yet firm and resolute.
Few persons combine more folly the necessary
qualifications for an able Speaker.” Wo have
not the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with
Mr. James, but some of our friends in this city,
who enjoy his acquaintance, apeak of him m
very high terms.
On Tuesday last, at Cleveland, the mer
cury in the thermometer stood 9 degressbelow
zero. It was the coldest day they $ia ve had in
that cityfor the last 10 years.
COMPIiIMENTARY StPPEE.
On the occasion of the completion of their
branch railroad, the citizons. of Blairsville and
its vioimty gave a qomplimentaryrsupper to Ed
ward Miller, Esq., the Associate Engineer of
the Peonsylvania;Bailroad, an(l Joskph Bveks,
Esq., the principal Assistant. Jamks Clatike,
Esq., was called to the ohair; John Devinny and
Samuel McAnnUy, were chosen Vice Presidents;
and D. H. Barr and A. Mathias appointed Secre
taries. A number of excellent toasts were off
ered, among them—
::DECEMBER 20.
Our friend and guest , Edward Miller , Esq An
honor to his profession, and a gentleman of high
accomplishments and moral worth. # He has
shown an energetic devotion to the great work
under his care, without disregarding the inter
ests of those among whom he has been sojourn
ing.
Joseph Byers , Esq. —We know his talents—
we know his integrity—we know his adaptation
to the science he professes —and in his relation
to the community as an artist and citizen, we
know him to be without guile.
Public Improvements—The visible and tangible
evidence of high civilization. May the promoters
of, and contributors to such works be always
successful in having, such competent, faithful,
and worthy agents to construct and manage the
improvement as Edward Miller and Joseph
Byers. Esqrs., Engineers of the great‘Pennsyl
vania Railroad.
The President and Board of Directors of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company —Gentlemen ol
liberal and enlightened views, and worthy of the
posts they occupy.
Onr friend James Onslow, Esq. of the Demo
cratic) Sentinel at Meadville. (whose arrival at
the St. Charles we mentioned some days since.)
is still to be found in our City. He will start
for Harrisburg, however, in a day or two, where
he expeots to remain for some time. Mr. Ons
low was a candidate at the last session of the
Legislature for the office of Sergeant at Arms of
the House ; and has again been spoken of in
connection with that office. He is a faithful
Democrat, and we doubt not would make an
efficient officer.
Me. Editor ■. A correspondent in Thursday s
paper, probably “in order to _graffy personal
gratification," declares that no private considera
tions should induce the nomination of any gen
tleman for the office of Mayor, by the approach
ing Democratic Convention ; and in this sugges
tion we perfectly agree. A man should he
nominated whose personal popularity would
strengthen—not weaken—the vote ot the party ;
one who, from his qualifications for the office,
would induoe men of all parties to rally to hiß
snpport; he should he a man whose energy of
character would fit him for the discharge
of the active duties of that arduous station
such a man we believe David Campuell to be.
and with his name at our mast head, the Demo-
cratic party can go into the approaching muni
cipal oonteat with the most brilliant prospect of
success. , . .
We are at a loss to devise what "considera
tions of public duty” can require the nomination
of any particular person for auy office. We have
been educated in the Democratic creed, and have
always supposed that the offices of our [country
were to be filled by those whom the people
selected, and not by those whom the office hap
pened particularly to suit.
Give all parties, Mr. Kditor, a chance m this
contest—the young and energetic, as well as the
more advanced political aspirant—and then no
fear need be entertained as to the success of any
man’s noisy adherents.
From the Aptil*tc.hiaii\ at Blairsville,
we learn that the branch of the Pennsylvania
Railroad to that place was completed on the 10th
instant, “that the hrst locomotive, with a pas
senger car, passed over it ; and trips have since
been doily made.” This branch road is a little
more than two miles and three tjuarters long,
and was commenced about a year since. The
people of Blairsville deserve much credit for
the public spirit and energy manifested by them,
in securing this junction with the main road It
will no doubt prove n source of great auvnutage
and pecuniary profit to them.
Jost So.—The Rochester Tunes says it could
never understand the reason why the man who
sells a yard of cloth, or a hoe. or an axe, or a
pair of shoes, is regarded by the community as
a better or more respectable man than he who
made it—nor he who sells a barrel of flour, or
ships it off for another country, than he who
raises the wheat from which it is manufactured
Will not some one enlighten us ou this sub
ject?
Pbodioiocs Mam's Nest —The Congression
al correspondent of the New York Commercial
says, that, “ in the opinion of mauy sanguine
men, the Democratic party proper will soon be
broken up, and a Union party created on its
ruins.” Why, the Democratic policy and party
are the Onion polioy and party.'
Close of Lake Navwatios.—The Cleveland
Herald of Tuesday Bays : Navigation must be
about closed for the winter. The Northerner
left on Sunday for Detroit with mails, but ow
ing to too in the river was forced to return. The

modations which have reoently been provided on
all the steamers of this line, unable the pro
prietors to announoe the following rates of pas

Veemoht. —The reoent Legislature of Ver
mont passed a general banking law, a general
manufacturing law, calculated to enoourage the
formation of manufacturing companies, and an
act admitting atheists and persons eonvioted of
orirnes other than perjury or subornation of per
jury, to testify under oath.
Whig Principles. —Our Whig friends talk a
great deal about their principles. We have heard
it suggested that if they have any now, they are
lnokier than they were in the Taylor canvass, as
at that time they had none to speak oj . The
Pennsylvanian is responsible fur that.
A healthy child was born in Northamp

A counterfeit “honest banker’ was detected

retary of the Treasury’s Report, we learn that
in 1851 there were built in the United States,
241 ships, 65 brigs, 532 schooners, 32b sloops
and eanal boats, with a total of 298,202 tannage.
Pennsylvania owns tonnage amounting to 284,-

increase of 9b,00Q.

BRIEF BIBTOBT OP LOLA MOSTEZi
Pablio opinion is very often yvrong respecting
the character of individuals. Whether it is so
in the case of Lola Montes we must leave the
reador to judge for himself, if he finds anything
to judge by in the following brief account ot
her taken from the Albany-Express: -
“ Lola Montez is certainly a wonderfal per
sonage—a most extraordinary and remarkable
woman. Her whole life has been one of pe
culiar interest and strange romance. The name
of Lola Montez— more notorious than that of
any of her sex, living or dead—has been heard
in every land where civilization has a foothold
at the remotest parts of the globe, and frequent
ly has created a wild furor, unparalleled in his-
tory.
Rosanna Gilbert—Lola’s true maiden niune—
was the daughter of a poor, obscure shop keep
er, a resident of one of the British Islands.
Her father, desirous of affording his daughter
the advantage of a libera! education, sent her
to a school of high repute, where she progressed
so rapidly that, at the end of the first year, she
conversed with great fluency in the Italian and
French languages.
At the age of fifteen she was pronounced us
beautiful as Canova’s most exquisite model, and
her train of followers and admirers were almost
numberless—many of them noble and wealthy.
In July, 18S9, she was married at Meath, Ire
land, to a Lieutenant James, of the British East
India Company's sendee, having taken a fancy
to that gentleman, with the prospect of roaming
through the world, and gratifying a predomi
nant propensity for gaiety and variety.
Her great vivacity and uncontrollable desire
for scenes of mirth and excitement, eventually
induced her husband to request a discontinuance
of her greatest pleasures, which, being disre
garded, was followed by a command. She dis
obeyed. and her society was more courted than
ever. Hundreds of admirers and followers
wore added to her lists, and after nine months
of the marriage life had pnssed away, she sep
arated from her husband and returned to Eng
land. Calumny had preceded her, and when
she arrived, she found her name m everybody s
mouth, and her character undergoing complete
dissection. She replied to the charges preferred
against her, denouncing them as base and cow
ardly fabrications, and without the shadow o!
truth or justice. The scales were soon turned,
and she again became the universal favorite.
Without auy visible means of support, she de
termined upon assuming the profession of an
actress, and made her first appearance under
the name of James, on the boards of a theatre
in one of the provincial towns of Spain. Her
reception was flattering in the extreme. Before
hei* second appearance, she discarded her name
assumed by marriage, and took that of Lola
Montez. Friends now sprung up on all sides
particularly among the nobility and aristocracy.
Lord Brougham became enlisted in her cause,
and introduced a bill for her divorce from Lieut.
James, in the House of Lords. He succeeded,
however, only bo far as obtaining their separa
tion as husband and wife, neither to marry dur-,
ing the life time of the other.
in December. ISdd, the name of Lola Mos
tbz could kindle a flame in the hearts of thou
sands, anxious to gain her smiles. Her success
upon the stage was of the most flattering char
acter. Her great personal attractions, and the
mystic poetry of romantic vision, entwined
about her name and history, were far more
powerful thau her acquirements as an actress.
\t the age of twenty-one, she is described as
being a perfect Vests; in stature about the
middle height, but at that period slender and
extremely graceful. Her cheeks were slight!)
tinged, her silken eye lashes sentinels to a clear
and piercing blue eye. her lips ever wreathed
with a smile, and a tine and delicately moulded
chin, might well create an inexpressible feeling
in tho heart of any human being.
Then followed—what is charged against her
by many who pronounce her unfit to bo recog
nized by respectable society-—which, howover,
she stoutly denies, and brands with the name of
calumny and falsehood. She was personated in
a comedy; in rejoinder she wrote a counter
comedy, and appeared in it herself. In this Bbe
\yas seen by the King of Bavaria, who, greatly
enamored of her charms, made immediate offers
to her to become his mistress. She declined
them until, as the story goes, she had secured a
pension of $lO,OOO per year, and the title of
Couuteas of LaodefetL She quitted the stage
and retired to a beautiful villa on tho banks of
the Lake of Geneva. For some time she lived a
retired and secluded life— distributing thousands
of dollars in acts of charity and benevolence.
Weary of her retiracy. in May, or thereabouts.
18-H 1 she again visited England, juid being intro
duced to a young Lieutenant in her Majesty s
Life Guards, he became smitten with her charms,
proposed marriage, and she married him with a
fortune of $40,000. She was subsequently ar

of Lieut James, gave boil iu the sum ot $lO,OOO.
aud with her new lord started for the Conti
nent Her movements for the last two or three
years have been chronicled from time to time,
and at last she has visited this country, and ts at
present sojourning in New York.
She is now past twenty seven years, and wo
doubt whether a more wild or romantic life can
be discovered in the history of the world ; par
ticularly where the heroine is so young, so ac
complished, and so well known. Her beauty is
still pronounced predominant, and we have no
doubt she will attraot great attention in this
country, notwithstanding her chequered life.—
There is muoh in it to wonder at, to admire, and
to regret.
White Slavery in Great Britain.
The Rev. Dr. McClelland, says the New \ ork
Express, in a series of letters now publishing in
the “Christian Intelligencer,” relative to the
condition and prospects of the poor in the High
lands of Scotland, asks what shall be douc with
them ? Their number far exceedß their means
of comfortable subsistence, and their condition
becomes worse every day, from the operation of
various causes, the first, and principal of which
is their indolence and thriftlcsaness, for which
there seems no cure in the power of man. To
this he adds, as a second cause, the contemptible
smallness of their portions of land, seldom exs
ceeding eight acres, hill and all, generally not so
muoh. Formerly they were able to live, after
their fashion, on these patches, by means of their
blaok cattle and potatoes. He describes the
spirit and policy of the landlords as terribly
against the poor man. They are, for the most
part, descendants of old chieftains of clans, who,
though they have lost their feudal jurisdiction,
retain all the land in the most absolute posses
sion. Occupied solely with the thought how to
secure the greatest amount of revenue trom
their serfs, they feel not half the sympathy with
their difficulties which they show to their dogs
and coach horses. They avoid all intercourse
with them; and the only day of the year on
which they appear conscious of their existence
is that on which the pounds, shillings and pence
are counted out, without interest or defalcation,
by which they purchase the privilege ,of slow
starvation. The Rev. Doctor exclaims:
Talk of the horrors of American slavery l It
were well if the rabid deolaimers on this subject
here and in the other parts of the island would
open their eyes a little to what is passing near
their own doors! Enlightened and philanthropic
Albion has quite enough to answer for in her
own organization and treatment of the poorer
classes of her population, without sending her
anathemas across the Atlantic.
Let any man, especially an American not used
to such sights, continues the Rev. gentleman,
walk through the High street or Lallangate of
Glasgow, at eleven o’clock in the morning, and
he will see things that he will never forget. Dr.
McClelland then goes on to say:
I have alluded to American slavery, and I
name it again, to declare before God and man,
my opinion that there are a hundred thousand
people in religious, slavery-hating Scotland,
whose happiness, temporal and eternal, we could
not better consult than by reducing them to
bondage. Baias slavery is, I do not hesitate
to say that in Glosgow alone there are twenty
five thousand beings, of our own flesh and blood,
to whom it would be a blessing.
