HAviNo in my last communication offered some remarks and reflections on tho Dark Ages, and tho universal predominance of ignorance, vice and Immorality in Europe during that period, let us now turn our attention, for a short timo,to that brighter and more glorious period, when the cause of letters was revived. It was made to appear, as I trust, that altho' there had been a period in the annals of history, pro-existent to the dark ages, when liberty found an advocate in every arm, truth a consecrated temple in many hearts, and science an altar in almost every mind,through. nnt flit, r hnn riviliznd and refines a --• "-- days had passed, that tho palmy age of principle had gone by, and corruption and truckling sub serviency had succeeded to its placo. But that all-directing Being, who endowed man with a living soul, gave it to him to cultivate and im prove, that its capacities for happiness might be increased; and therefore Ho would no longer per mit all its noble powers and faculties to be pros trated, degraded and debased. Tho human mind is at length emancipated from the fetters which bound it for ages. Tho chaotic mass is restored to order—Reason re-ascends her throne, and Truth springs into light. A civil resurrection takes place—genius is resuscitated—a moral earth-quake is felt—tho world is turned — vice versa. Man steps forth under the heavens. Ho traces the exquisite beauty and harmony of na ture. He admires and wonders at the nice adap tation ofevery part to some specific purpose. To use the poetic and beautiful language of Popo, man now -through vast immensity can pierce, See worlds on worlds compose one universe; Observe how system into other systems runs; What varied beings people every star, And tell why God has made us as we are. Tho noble-minded Charlomango and Alfred (the great) in their respective ages, devoted much of their time, talents and attention to the promotion of literature and science, and their efforts were succeeded by some little temporary success. But the schools they established, were not conducted on the best plan, nor by the most suitable persons. Additional rays of mental and moral illumination wore requisite in order to render the circumam. bient wretchedness and degradation fully apps• rent to the darkened vision. This additional light was furnished by the glorious Reformation. The Reformation has been justly esteemed hith erto as the resurrection of genius and liberty, and the dawn of returning intellectual light. I think I do not attribute too much to it, when I say that o its influence must be ascribed some or the most important and useful inventions of art, and some of the most extraordinary discoveries in science; and that from it alone originated the Invention of paper, printing, telescopes and time-pieces. To expatiate upon the utility ()reach of the first throe inventions as vehicles for disseminating truth and intelligence, would require more limo than I have at present to dispose of, besides it would draw out this essay to an immoderate length. The period of the revival of literature, when in. telligenco onco more darted into the benighted understanding, constitutes one of the brightost and roost momontous epochas in the history of tho wirld. An auxiliary impulse was then given to the intellectual and moral part of man, which, I trust, will continuo to propel him on ward in the pursuit of every thing that adorns and dignifies human nature, until knowledge, with its logiti mato progeny, virtue and liberty, shall have ex tended its benignant reign, and diffused its salu tory benefits to all that dwell upon the earth.— Alter the long lapse of a thousand years, genius deigns again lo smile propitiously on man, and ho in return sanctions tho justice of her claims to attention, and takes pride and delight in doing her honor. .The human character might now once more be aeon in its apotloss purity. Man is once more elevated to the dignity of a rational and thinking being; and entertains a high acn3o of "I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER OF HT LIVING ACTIONS, TO KEEP HINE HONOR FROM CORRUPTION."-SIIA.K3 emuewlrazztafbmaim e gll. 9 aWIM'ZIALtIrs 1C12.2 . 22cata12M aa, aaaa. honor. Fine talents, highly cultivated, aro once more exhibited; tho mind is stored with useful knowledge, is trained to thoughtfulness by educa tion, is divested of its superstition, in a great measure,and Is rendered reflecting and sagacious. Tho soil of sterility,by a careful cultivation,springs forth in all the beauties of vegetation. The damp clouds which pervade the human intellect aro dis pelled, and it shines forth like the meridian sun. Man obtains a more accurate and profound knowledge of human nature; and examines. with scrupulous fidelity, into the mechanism otitis own curiously, fearfully and wonderfully wrought frame. Ho watches with more rigid circumspec t:on over "oho operations of his hands" and the workings of his heart, Ho bogies to have clearer perceptions of the true nature and principles of government. The noble principle of "amor pa. trim," which the migratory savage neither feels nor knows, glows in his fond bosom. The im mortal mind, which had been seduced, through the agency of universal corruption and supersti tio.n, to the most flagrant doods of daring wicked. noes, now soars above the clouds and mists that are collected in the dark and gloomy vale of super. stition, error and idolatry. Turn, for a moment, to the unlettered savage, who wildly roamed the forest wide, and toll me, is not education, (mental and moral culture) to a being constituted like man, the no plus ultra of earthly good? Ho casts his eves abroad upon the stupendous works of creation; but ho can form no conception how they over came into being; nor dues his undisciplined mind attempt to penetrate the meant: in order to make the discovery. Ho. perceives the regular succession of days and nights. He perhaps notices tho change of seasons —the ovor•varying phases of the moon, and va rious other phenomena of nature; but he never thinks of inquiring Into the causes of those things. When darkness comes over the earth, he seeks his hut or cave, where ho lies down, and the stealing hours of darkness insensibly woo him to repose. There ho remains till the twilight of morn and tho enchanting songs oldie woody choristers call him forth to pursue the chase. Tho universe is to him "a mighty maze without a plan." His mind scarcely rises above the brutes that perish, which are objects of terror to him, and sometimes the instruments of his death. True, ho fools the effects of hunger and thirst---of pain and sorrow. True, ho is skilled full well in handling the dead. ly weapon; ho knows full well how to hull the acute and seldom-erring dart. Not only do wild beasts feel the cruelty ofhis hand, but man if per chance ho come in his way. His heart delights in torture. Tho sighs and groans—the tears and entreaties of the dying sufferer excite no sensa tions of pity in his bosom. What real happiness there can be to a mind thus circumscribed, is easily imagined. Such is a brief though imperfect outline of uncultivated life. History, I think, will justify the assertion,. that in almost as deplorable a condition as that of trio 1/1.11.1M7100 .ta • .... o groat wore ellaii kir.d in Europe during the middle ages; in which case the human mind had relapsed into the dark. noes of ignorance and superstition. They indeed had more mental iltumination,but practically they wore nearly as rudo and inhuman: they evidently wore more corrupt and immoral. Thus, though the light of truth glimmered, it was as a taper omitting its tooblo rays afar off; sometimes ap pearing, at other times invisablo—like the glim mering of the Ignis Fatuus,calculated to confound and mislead the mind, rather than guide it to worthy objects of pursuit and enterprise; until a flood of light suddenly burst in upon the soul, or rayed, as it were,m all the spiel:dears of the noon day sun. "Sol diffusing genial rays, Thy power, oh! Literature, displays; With light and heat by him we're bless'd, Whilst o'er our minds thy charm's confess'd." "There is a tido in the affaira of men," says the groat poet of nature, "which, if taken at the flood, loads on to fortune." Directly previous to the revival of letters, all things seemed to conspire to bring about a change. The tree was planted whose loaves wore to be "for the healing of na: Lions." A universal Panacea was preparing. the extraordinary and unparalleled virtues of which, wore to heal the diseased mind. Tho Vandalic seizure of Constantinople by the Asiatic Turks,which was at the time, regarded as it diro and signal calamity, resulted in actual good to the cause of literature, science and civilization. The learned men, who had collected into that city from different parts, and who constituted the al most entire literatii of the age, wero dislodged, dispersed and forced to seek refuge in other re gions. These mon carried out with thom,and af terwards imparted to others a knowledge of the an cient Greek and Roman authors,which,we aro told, were for a thousand years confined to the libraries of Constantinople. Soon after this event transpir ed, the art of printing was discovered, divulged and put into successful operation. This art ex erted a most beneficial influence upon navigation, which was as yet circumscribed and imperfect. Nearly two hundred years before the remarkable event just named above, the mariner's compass was generally introduced into European vessels —although, according to some writers, the Nor mans wore acquainted with, and made use of it, as early as the ninth century. These causes, in conjunction with several oth. ere, and particularly the Reformation of Religion, which was 'then going forward in Germany, to which the attention of all Europe was directed— all united to eflbct doubtless the most radical change in human affairs, in religion, customs and manners, (if we except tho deluge,) that over has, and perhaps ever will, transpire in our world till the end of time. The press soon became a most powerful instru ment for tearing down the strong holds of ignor ance, immorality and error, and of erecting on their ruins the throne of intelligence, virtue and truth. It has already accomplished wonders— yea, apparent impossibilities. And although it is frequently prostituted to tho basest and worst or purposes, yet, it is confidently hoptid, that if its existence be perpetuated, many groat and benefi cial vicissitudes in human society and affairs will yet be effected through its tpstrumentality. To disown the influence of the press, would, in truth be, to contradict the evidence of our senses, to nullify the cool and deliberate conclusions of the understsnding, and avowedly to deny the axis. tonce of a fact which is manifest to all. To de. stroy tt, would be to destroy . free government, to annihilate the altars of justice, to dilapidate the temple,ofreason,to mutilate the fair tree of know!. edge, and to wrest from man the precious boon of liberty! Navigation was soon materially improved and extended. In a shun time, the seaman had learn. od how to accommodate himself toquiet and tem pest—to each caprice of wave and wind, whether "the foul, the fair, the contrary, the kind." The unfurled canvass soon floated in every wind of heaven, and commerce was extended, in course of time, OR far as the waters of the Ocean flow. By the sure magnetic needle guided, O'cr t he Ocean's waves Columbus glided To a hemisphere by man then unknown— To a land with milk and honey iferflow'n— To a land, by Ileaven decreed, in time, In the proudest rank to stand sublime, Of the nations whose mighty deeds of old, On the scroll of Fame, have been enrolled. lie pursu'd the untrarers'd western course, Till at length the sailors were mutinous. "As breezes rise and fall. and billows swell, The glad morning, dawns—l laud!—all is well." A new field opens to our vision. But who shall pourtray in fit colors the prospects of our own happy land in a literary and scientific point of view? They are Indeed flattering, and afford mat. ter of felicitation. But I must scribble on, and terminate, at length, my scrawl. • Science has unlocked the avenues of truth. She holds out her allurements to all. Here the giddy sons of ambition may toil with good hopes of suc cess. Here they may win more unfading laurels, than the blood-thirsty general could possibly ever obtain by military triumph on the field of battle. Hero is opened a fountain whence flow soul-ex tilting streams. Herr is presented to our view, a mine extensive, precious and inexhaustible.— Where then is the man, who loves his country, who loves his owp race, that is unwilling to en. dure toil and privation and sell-denial . to promote a cause so noble in itself,and so beneficial to man kind? Where is the man, whose soul is fired with ambition for distinction.who would not prefer the high literary reputation of Sir Walter Scott to all the renown, achieved by the victorious arms of a Cromwell? Where is the man who would surren der the immortal renown of Milton as a poet for that of the demigod of war, Alexander, as a war rior?, Of him,whom success the most unparalleled could not satisfy; who, after having wept for more worlds to conquer, retired to Babylon,loaded with all the rich spoils of the cast, and then went down to a prema.nre grave, by debauchery. And where is the man who would barter the imperish able fame of Locke, "who examined the human mind, defined its powers and reduced its opera tions to certain and fixed laws;" or that ot a Frank. Ite r to whose over-towering genius the lightnings of heaven submitted, for all the magnificent but But it is needless to multiply examples of literary success and renown: they are indeed scarcely to be enumerated,and could gain no additional weed of glory from my humble panegyric. Thus much for the revival of letters. I have now either directly or indirectly referred to the principal blessings, which have resulted from that event. To mention them all, and remark upon them,would require a volume. I will only observe then, in conclusion, that whilst we, as patriots, must ever desire that our native country may continue to advance in every thing that is good and glorious—there can be no object dearer to our hearts, as philanthropists, than the universal diffusion ofthe blessings of science and christiani. ty, whose vestal robe is the light of knowledge and truth. And surely in thisage of benevolence and expanding philanthropy, there will not bo found wanting Ashmuns, and Caldwells, and Clarksons, and Finley., and Howard. enough,who will bo willing to engage in the arduous and golf. , denying work of carrying the blessings of civili zation and religion into every dark and infected region of ignorance, idolatry and superstition: thus, mentally and morally elevating millions of our race from the deepest degradation, and pro. paring them for the enjoyment of rational hap., piness. Anti-Slavery. The Relation of the Pulpit to Slavery. LETTER TO A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL To the Rc►. •—•—••• [CONCLUDED FROM OUR LAST.] You remind me, that it is my appropriate business, as a preacher of the gospel, to toil for the salvation of souls. Your admoni tion I receive with humility and gratitude. Be it my privilege while! livejhus to labor. But may I pause, and dwell upon the mean ing of your language? In what must the salvation of souls consist? In such fears, and hopes, and joys, as however they may agitate us, fail to reduce us to our proper places in the moral system, to which we be long? Then were the Scribes and Phari sees saved; for they seem to have no lack of such feelings. Does it consist in main taining, without reproach, a profession of religion, or in activity in such enterprises, as have the patronage of the church, with which we may be connected? Then were the wretches saved, who the Savior declares devoured widows' house's, and fora pretence made long prayers! They were full of mis sionary zeal;—"compassing sea and land to make a proselyte." To be saved, we must come into conformity with the relations we sustain to God and ovr neighbor. Short of this we may have our fears, and hopes, and joys, our religious professions and enterpri zes. Short of this, we may make high pretensions, long prayers, and many prose lytes: Short of this we may employ with wonderful success a thousand so-called soul saving expedients. But short of this, we cannot be saved. Short of this, what could we do in that world of eternal harmony, where every thing finds and keeps its proper place? The devourers of widows' houses here, must receive damnation hereafter.— ' Alas! what then must become of those who SASE WIDOWS ) and then DEVOUR THEM AND THEIR CHILDREN in the midst of the Ameri can churches? What must become of their apologists, however ingenious and grave they may be? What, my brother! have you a system of soul.saving, which inspires men with the hope of Heaven, while they refuse heartily to own every human creature as a brother? A system of piety, which leaves men below the level of humanity! Can you make saints, who fall short of being nEisa Out upon such saints. Away with such piety. It makestltty creature, whO is de ceived by its lofty. .oretensions, "two fold more the child of hell," than3t found . I have heard of some "young converts ,' would not join a churchthitt treated Men as men, according to their :oral worth!--: Ifprejlidice,the most insan e -lad cniel; could . not he humored, and factitious :distinctions maintained; if they .must take their place at the communion table, by the side of their poor brother, of another complexion, their offended dignity would turn away, and stand aloof from the Savior's "little ones!" I have heard ofa church, which suited its arrange ments to such views and feelings, and bow. ed betbre the giant prejudices of its young converts; and gloried in its shame, by bap tizing its anti•christian expedients by-the name of efforts to save souls! Out, I say, upon such notions of salvation, Romance for reality! Animal feeling for christian principle! False philosophy, for "Jeius Christ and Him`erucified." Are you the man, my brother, to talk of saving those, whose hearts are too hnrd am narrow to admit the common sentiments o humanity! Alas, this piety, both unhuman and inhuman, what mischief has it not done wherever it has been countenanced 'sin the church of God! What! Is G Oft our Savior, to be honored with human sacrifices! Hu. man nature to be placed a bleeding victim on the altar of Piety! Men, - women, and children to be offered by thousands to Moloch in the midst of the monuments of Christian ty, without admonition or rebuke! Nny, ministers, and elders and deacons. "binding the sacrifice with cords unto the horns of the altar!" And we, preachers of the Gos pel, in the midst of these abominations,must close eyes, oars, and lips, and keep to our proper business of saving souls! Are we thus to convince gainsayers! and extend the triumphs of the Cross! And bring the whole family of Adam into one dear brother-hood! Let me entreat you to study your Bible. Mark the course which prophets and apos tles, with the Saviour at their head, pursued. Did they throw the mantle of religion over the chain of servitude and scourge of oppres sion? When? Where? How? That thing they never did. In lantruaze the most pom ' tea aria empnuth,, tney c ' exposed the hypo crisy of those pretenders, who tried to unite the love of God with hatred of man. They applied the edge of the most cutting irony to the fat hearts ofsuch religionists. They levelled their dreadful blows at tho king on his throne and the priest at the altar, Wealth, renown, refinement, furnished no shield for the guilty. And were they not intent on the salvation of souls? Yes; indeed they wore; and they employed the only appro priate means. W ho, now, is to occupy the places which their ascent to heaven has left vacant? If the ministers of the gospel refuse to catch their mantle on whose shoul ders shall it fall? If the pulpit may not bo employed in exposing and rebuking popular iniquity, what is it good for? Shall we leave the guilty to work out their own reformation while we, keep ourselves to the business of soul•saving! Look again, my brother, to those models, to which every christian minister is bound to confirm himself: Did they take the side of the oppressor against the opprestl Did they court the rich and despise the poor? Did they look on unmoved while the strong crushed the weak. Never. Of the victims of popular prejudice and violence they were the friends and advocates; and at the haz• CON DORC ET. and of reputation and of life. When did they refuse "to consider the poor?" Were they not "eyes to the blind and feet were they not to the lame?" The cause which they know not, wore they not forward and thorough to search out? Did not our Savior appropriate the Gospel especially to the poor—to the poor, to whom His heart and His arms were ever open? And must we see the poor driven from the Cross, robbed of ho Bible, plundered—not of their "ewe lambs," but of their wives and children, in sulted, polluted, murdered with impunity, and keep our hearts and'our tongues still? Must wo see churches, built up by fraud and filled with adultery, without uttering a syl- lable! And religious teachers claiming for American slavery the stability and the sanc tity of a christian institution! and quoting eats from the Old Testament and the New to justify man•stealing! and spitting their venom in the faces of the friends of human freedom! Must. we see all this and much more, and keep as cold and silent as the grave! And why? For the sake of saving souls! Then let us take the priest on his way to Jericho, for our model. Ile was, probably, intent on making proselytes. Full of missionary zeal, how could he pause to pity and help the poor utTerer, whom the thieves had left "half dead?" He could not come down from the work of saving souls to relieve a wounded, bleeding body! His piety suffocated his humanity! and along he stalks "on the other side." Say, my brother, are we to tread in his footsteps? Certainly we are, if our priestly obligations are inconsistent with "consider mg the poor!" My brother, have you tasted the "bless. edness" of "considering the poor?" Do you recognize in them the form and face of your final judge? Be not deceived. Mistake not sickly sentimentalism for christian principle. [VO.L. 7--NO. 25. Study the description which, in the 25th of Matthew, our Savior gives of the final judg ment. What think you of that stranger, hungry, ragged, oppressed, and exhausted by disease, whom Ile, there, exhibits as his representative?

Oneida County, N. Y., June, 1836. VARIETY. .1 True Siory.—*—The following story of "LovE and PRUDENCE," which we accidentally met with as revived in a Into Hagerstown paper, is an "o'er true tale."— It first appeared, some time since, in the York (Pa.) Recorder, and the facts which it records occurred in a neighboring county beyond the Susquelianna. The way this. beautiful and sprightly heiress treated her fortune.hunting lover, should be "a caution" to the whole order: LOVE AND PRUDENCE.—A yoang gentle. mon who was desiroas of entering the holy state of matrimony, and who had turned his attention to the "gilded" beauties of the day—selected at length, for, his particular addresses, a lady, who was reported rich,ns well in the "matter of lucre," as in personal and mental accomplishments. He felt the charms of his fair one, stealing over his senses and casting a "witching spell" upon his faculties. But like a discreet young man, before he was too far gone; he wanted to make assurance doubly sure—and to leave. no "loop whereon to hang a doubt" touching the worldly possessions of his beloved. Fame it is true had spoken her yealthy,but Fame had a cruet fashion of exaggerating in these matters, In a word, if the truth must be told, our lover was not iii - o . "madly" in love, but he was able to preserve some "method" in it. And before the glorious passion reached its crisis, lie had the singu lar. prudence to examine the records—and so obtain an exact knowledge orme , wenttit of his charmer! How happy was he, to find that her estate was clear; and for once even more valuable than rumor had proclaimed it. Flying then, on the wings of love, to . the dwelling of his fair one—in good set phrase, ho declared his affection for her-,--macle a tender of his heart and hand—and besought her to smile upon his pacsion,nnd make him happy. But the "flattering tale" of Hope, was not to be realized. The star of .our lover's happy fortune, had alas! not yet cast its silver light above the horizon! By some means, it ha ppened,the young lady had been apprized of the extent of her lover's curiosi ty—and, in the midst of his descant upon flames, and darts, and Cupids—she very composedly drew from her reticule a small piece of money, and approaching him, made this reply—" Although I may not profit by your very favorable sentiments towards me, still I cannot think ofyotir being a loosei•on my account. As you have been at the . ex pense ofa"search," I must insist upon being allowed to replace the amount so expended." So saying, she put an eighteen penny piece in her lover's hand, and he—went his. way. SNEEntrio.—M ark closely the conduct of any one who is constantly sneering at this one, and culling his expressive hp at that one and you will see more in his every day conduct to despise and censure than in that of any individual, not decidedly vicious, 'who falls under his discriminating animadver sion. If you wish to try and piove such a one, drop a word of censure for some deci dedly wrong action—you will readily find an opportunity—and the bile and turbulence of an engracious temper will be at once ap parent.
