the executioner .of Freedom’s martyrs, it may be

cause her’ desired victims were beyond the reach
of he> power. Only because the Turk was a bet
ter chnstian than the blood reeking despots who
menace him.' If wo are thus publicly to fix upon
Austria the brand ofcontempt and abhonenoe, can
we, without gross inconsistency, withhold it from
Russia ? from Prussia, who haa been equally cru
et and ruthless, as her southern neighbor, towards
the fallen liberiJi of Baden and Rastadl? from

I We greatly overrate both the amount and the 1
▼tine of the iefloence of oar tosttotions on the I
popolarmind of Europe. Thegieat oajsjof thej
people on. the continent an either totally ignorant
of our natioosl existence, or have the vaguest idea
of, oar geographical position, our history, oof the
racier, and our farm of government. The ra
risian matron who inquired on ®y mention or
Washington, if he wee “that horrid English phy
sician whb poisoned Athenian
who congratulated me that our “king
rich, since he has got so mach'gold to MiTornta,
—the Neapolitan who was aatisned that Anwtca
ia the finest kingdom in Europe," nndwtsßeu me
to tike him there a foot—and the CastodUn,at
Pompeii, who could expound antiquitiesmostad
curably, but had never even ao much as heard of
America—afford (air illustrations of the InteUjgence
generally potsessed on the continent of Europe
respecting oor country. • In truth, how should tt
be otherwise? Nearly half of the pepoto are tut
able to read, and a Urge proportion^the remain
der are both too poor to obtain book* end 100 on*
cultivated to care for information. The educate fl
class entertain the most Inadequate and perverted
ideas concerning us. They know indeed that we
are a Republican! they have no proper coneep*
lion of either the theory or the practical operation
of oer government: they understand that we have j
liberty, but they are ignorant of the moral strength
which controls it, and of the great constitutional
and legal barriers which hedge U in. How ought
we to expect it to be otherwise, when even m
has twenty times the facilities for
information, ninety nine men oat of everyhundred
know so little of our political organisation, as to j
be reedy to reproach Congress 'for not at once
abolishing Slavery throughout the Union.
As half truths are frequently more mischievous
than unqualified errors, or'in other words, as “a i
iitUe knowledge is a dangerous thief," so our im-'
perfectly comprehended example, in its direct and
immediate effects, is productive of more evil than
good. It instigates the Impetuous will, but does
not educate the sober understanding: it excites
passion to overthrow, but does not inspire wisdom
to upbuild.. A single substantial luminous Ameri
can Idea, respecting the reciprocal rights and j
duties of governors and the governed, Irani ported
over the water, would be worth incalculably more
to the benighted, oppressed millions of Europe,
than all the material meant our generosity can
contribute. . . .... *
We are vain enough of our physical greatness,
but we do not adequately realise the immense
disparity between oar moral and intellectual con
dition and that of Europeans generally; and we
are too apt to attribue to them oar modes of reel
ing, and thinking, and acting. Freemen born and
(reemen bred; respiring moral and political truths
every day of mu lives, we have come to believe
that the great principles of government, which it
took ages to discover and elucidate, are quire self
evident. _ a . .
But letlone of us come and; earn «omt be people
here about 'ibese same totuive. truths. I*w, be
finds, instead ot being an authoritative expression
of eternal right, is an arbitrary mandate without
morel sanction. Order,-instead of balng a regula
tion of Heaven and the first nooessity of socrety, is
an ordinance of kingsand an imposition of armies.
Loyal tyjis belpless'submission to tbejstrongert; and
liberty is exemption fcgm all qivil constraintsj and
the'privilege of every man to majre hi# own wnl
prevail if by any moans he can. Morality is a tosh*
ion and religion a ceremony; and both are about,
as much “honored to the breach as in the obser
vance.”
A serious American or Englishman, cannotttav

that we should take the groundwhich aelf reapMt,

The reading of thia message predneed a great

Otramist—The ondersigned, appointed a
Committee by an Editorial Stale Convention, hetd
at Harrisburg on the le,*cf January, 1850, beg
leave, respeelfally to reqnest your attention to the
propriety of publishing all laws of a general char*
aeter, in the English and German papers through*
oat the Commonwealth, at the expense of the
State; and also that of requiring laws of a local
; natnre, to bo published In the newspapers (n the
vicinity interested therein, si the expense of the
Coonty or parties concerned. This is now the
law in several of our sister States, including New
York, New Jersey, and Ohio; and as it is the only
method by which ibe people of the Stale can be
generally informed of the character of our laws,
we would think its adoption judicious and proper.
We are aware that objections may be urged
against this proposition, on the grounds of the ex*
pente that must necessarily attend It. This ob
jection, however, could and we think should be
obviated. A large ram U annually expended in
the publication of our laws and journals in Ger
man—of which few, If any copies are sold in the
year. The amount of money that could be saved
to theStste,by curtailing the German publication*,
■■ ftr as practicable, and some ol the other ex
penses of government that can be done without
detriment to the publto interest.
, Your serious attention is respectfully, but ear
nestly requested to the subject. The laws by
which the people must be governed, should be
universally made known. It is alike due to those
t who govern, and to the governed; and we are fat*
i ly persuaded that If carried Into effect with a pro
i per observance of economy, it will meet the hear*
’ ty approval of your constituents.

Stxuixevill*, Nov. 20, 1849.
Yoo will remember that somo time since
I seal yon as account of Moses Walker, «r,
colorod mta in this county, who proposed\
to visit Ltberia b order to bring a fair report
of tho new republic. Ho has, risce his re
trrm iri-i his recowyy from the sickness,
induced hy over oriwtion and the neglect of
necessary precaution while there—been giv
ing bis report, and defending the colony as
the only hope qf tho colqred Tpan, both here
and la Africa.
He embnriu in his advoeney of tha new
republic with e zeal and earnestness that
cannot fail to be impressive. He has for a
long time enjoyed tne name of freedom, bat
never felt the true impart of the term till he
placed his foot on tho soil where sll the po
litical and yyjui barriers by which he bad
been restrained and oppressed at home, were
as bymtne ytmovpd. He could scarcely
believe ma.own eyes when he first reached
thstlssd of promise, and saw the blsek man
in the chair of state, in the legislative halls
in all the lucrative and honorable profes
lions, in all tbe offices connected with courts
of justice, and civil and military affaire, and
the problem for the first time actually solved
upon the eastern continent, that man,
path vm too, is actually capable of self
government.
He gives a very interesting and satisfac
tory account of file appearance and products
of the country; of tne climate, productive
ness of labor; the condition of tne natives;
the civil condition and social habits of the
people; tire state of education, and the pros
pects of the misslaaasy enterprise in that
vast field.
4 very large and intelligent audience in
this town listened withgreat interest during
two evenings, and for more than two hours
at etth meeting, withOQf apparent fatigne,
to his report and rema&s. He addressed
the Synod of Wheeling, id their latesessions
in Steubenville, with |»ch interest, and
much to the gretificatioa of that large and
body of rninltfaiß and laymen.
An abs&aci of his report? amid not pre
tend to give. iThoee who hard him before
the Synod not only passed a complimentary
vote at tha close of the exercise, oat several
of those persona hare sinoe written to him,
sndurgoa him to visit their congregations,
and to make his statements to the commun
ities in which they live. There ia «a original
ity, a force of mind, and aatstivseloquence
about Mr. Walker, that does notifeiltoin
terest and please even the mostrefiaed and
educated.
He pledged himself before he weDs> 40
both Aboliuonists and Colonizafionists, that
he would return bearing witness to the whole
truth and nothing but the truth. Tfceee par
ties united in giving him part of thn stfpen
gas of hU voyage, and they bear him, and
ere both silent ted idleaped. The «ly effort

into his iiead to relie e the monotony ofhis

the virtues of ftiessnitz’a theory. He was

RxaULKABLt TRICE OF ANTIQUITY. —The
perfect skeleton of an Indian woman was
found a short time since in the sand*bank
excavation adjoining Niagara river, immedi
ately back of Major Whitney’s new resid
ence. iWe understand that it rested in a
sitting^)ostnre with its face facing the north,
(true Indian style,) about four feet below the
surface. Immediately above grew a large
hickory, two feet in diameter, at least two
indred years old, whose ho**' 'oots encir-
hi red yean old, whose huge roots env.
eled the skeleton on every side. Owing to
the frost in the sand, and the number of
roots to be removed, it was obtained with
great difficulty. Romor says Indian relics
were found with it.— Niagara Falls Iris.

Powxa or Rxucioh.—That it sacrifices
the soul, that it brings peace to the eon
science, these are, indeed, the grand pre
rogatives of our religion.! rat they are not
its only prerogatives. The gospel of grace
is rich in honor as well as rich in consola
