= From the Iowa True Democrat. The Fugitive. Am--The Exile of Brin. BY T. M'OONNELL. There came to my door a poor child of oppression, he hoar on his locks, for the night air was chill ; He sigh'das he whisper'd his faltering confession, And begged but a crust anda shelter from ill, I wept when he told me the tale of his sorrow, And I bade him to stay and repose till the mor- row, While guilt to my heart sent her deadliest arrow, And "shame to my country," I cried in de- spair. I warmed him, I fed him, I soothed his afllic tions, T led lum to rest in my humble abode, ' And I slept, oh, how sweetly! as rich benedic- tions, Arose from his heart to the throne of our God, But scarce had the earliest gushes of morning, With azure and gold, the horizon adorning, Shed their lustre around when a shrill note of warning, Resounds through the grove on the clear morn- ing air, Tis the hound on the track of the travel worn stranger ; Tis the cry of the hunter--t'e hunter of men; But, trembling brother, thou art free from all danger, : The tyrant shall shackle thee never again, Secure is thy slumber, though humble thy sta- tion, Not all the black engines of hate and oppres- That darken the sky of this merciless nation, Shall tear from his covert, the fugitive slave. But the sun in the west sinks in silence and sor- row, And night spreads her mantle of darkness ' around, Arise noble brother, the dawn of to morrow, Shall light thee to Liberty's hallowed ground. Yonder star in the sky be thy guide and director, The God of the poor be thy friend and pro tector ; Take courage, my brother, thou'lt surely prove victor, God speed to the land of the free and the brave. Reply to Governor Muni. From that firm and fast friend, G. Saurs. Peterboro, Heb. 20. Governor Hunt, Dar Sir,--I sce, in the newspapers, that some, (I trust not many), of the mem- of the legislature are disposed to respond to your call for help to the American Coloni- zation Society. Just here let me say, and I take pleasure in saying it, that Ido not number you with the despisers and haters of the colored people. In my pleasant in- tercourse with you, you have given me proofs, substantial proofs unknown to the public, of your benevolent interest in that oppressed people. You haye, suddenly, fallen in love with the American Colonization Society. You are deceived by it, as I was deceived by it. There is less excuse, however, for you than there was for me. My joining that Society was the folly of a young man. But you are guilty of such folly in your mature years, Again, when I joined it, it had not deve- loped its bad character. The American Anti-slavery Society, not yet in being, had not yet, by the touch of its Ithuriel spear of truth, revealed the true and hateful cha- racter of the Colonization Society. But you have joined it, at a time, when, to use the Bible language, "the shew of its countenance doth witness against it, and it declares its sin as Sodom and hides it not." I joined it as an Abolition Society. But you have joined at that advanced stage of its exist- ence, when it proves itself to be, not only a pro-slavery, instead of an auti-slavery Society ; but when it has ripened into the unmeasured calumniator of the abolitionst, and the unblushing defender of the slaye- holder, and the deadliest enemy of the co- lored race. ; The American Anti-slayery Society was organized at the close of the year 1833. I welcomed its doctrine of immediate and universal emancipation--for it was, and hai ever been my own doctrine. Hyery heart, if left to its free and natural play, evinces its hatred of oppression. The outbursting sympathy of our countrymen with the elo- quent Kossuth and his poor Hungarians shows, that even the Americans hate op- pression, The Americans, although the greatest and guiltiest of all oppressors are oppressors in only one direction: and they are oppressors in that direction, not because it is their nature to be such, but because, as ib is generally held of their prejudice against color. This prejudice is, certainly, not natural, I owe it to no. better or other nature than my countrymen have, that my bosom is, and ever has been, a stranger to this insane and soul-shrivelling and mur- derous prejudice. That negroes and indians were among the companions and playmates of my childhood is, perhaps sutlicient to aceount for my freedom from it. 'This prejudice is, after all, but the proximate cause of our disposition to oppress our colored brethren. Nor is it the only proxi- mate cause, Slavery, which has created this prejudice, has also laid us under poli- tical, ecclesiastical and pecuniary tempta- tion to oppress them, So far from natural is this prejudice, that nothing of it can be found in any part of the world, save where the whites have put the stigma of slavery upon the blacks, In yain will you search for it in Continental Europe or in Asia. And, yet, your message repeats the oft re- proclaim that the two races must sooner or later be separated." The discriminating mind of Washington Hunt, (and it is not easy to find one more discriminating), should not have allowed itself to be im- posed upon by this piece of Colonization nonsense, or by the other pieces of Coloni- zation nonsense, which found their way into your Message. One of these is, that to the slaveholders belongs the subject of slavery; and that the "interference" of others with itis "misdirected philanthropy." But as well may you say, that to the drunkards belong the subject of drunken- ness, and that the temperate cannot under- stand it, and cannot know how to deal with it. As well too may you say, that horse- thieves only are competent to dispose of the matter of horse-stealing, as that slave- holdeys, or men thieves, only are competent to dispose of the matter of men-stealing. The Colonization Society and Truth are very dissimilar teachers. 'Truth teaches, that the stand-point, from which to survey a vice and determine how to attack it, must be outside of the circle of its power; and that he, whose mind is unblinded, and whose heart is undebauched by that power, is the clearer observer and the better judge in the case. Would you not say : " Give me anti-gamblers to put down gambling. Give me temperance men to put down drunkenness. Giye me the chaste to put down adultery ?" Why, then, in the name of common sense, will you not say : * Give me abolitionists to put down slavery ?" Alas, that you ever opened your ears to Colonization trash! There will be a great change in a dozen years. The Governor of this State, at that time, will not be tempted to rob abolitionists of their merits. If this superlatively guilty nation shall be saved, the abolitionists--the men, who have suffered every reproach, and every loss, and flung themselves away, for their nation's sake--will be its saviors. Scarcely had the Anti-slavery Society proclaimed the doctrine of immediate and universal emancipation, ere the Coloniza- tion Society made open war upon the doc- trine ; and opposed all emancipation, unless accompanied by expatriation. Its members then dropped off rapidly--so rapidly, that in the history, which Judge Jay soon after- wards wrote of the Colonization Society, he mentions myself as the oniy immediate emancipationist remaining in it. To the shame of my head and the shame of my heart, I did not quit the Society, until the year 1835. ' But we will pass on to look at the Colo- nization Society as it now is. There is not one person in all its membership, who is a confessed abolitionist--not one, who is willing to bear the reproach of that name. Tt says not a word against the social, or political, or ecclessiastical wrongs of the colored man ; not a word against the crime of refusing to eat or ride with him; not a word against his exclusion from the ballot- box; not a word against the erection of the negro pew. It says not a word against the "Fugitive slave statute'--a statute, which is of all statutes Satan's master-piece. Indeed, the warmest defenders of this sta- tute are to be found among its members. It sees men and women chased down under this statute, and plunged into the pit of slavery, and it is utterly careless and con- temptous of their horrid fate. If sees one State after another imposing, or attempting to impose, discriminating and onerous taxes on its already crushed and helpless free colored people ; one free State after another excluding, or attempting to exclude, this persecuted people from its borders; and it never remonstrates against this devilism. Nay, this devilism is its own work ; prompt- ed by the spirit, which it begets and nou- rishes; and performed by none more eagerly than by its members and advocates. The Colonization Society apologizes for slavery, and denies, that itis sinful. Itis, in a word, as infidel and inhumane as the current religion--that conventional and spurious relizion, which looks upon the battered and bleeding slave, and then passes by on the other side; that conventional and spu- rious religion. which is divorced | from humanity, and which forgets, aye, and devours the poor and the small, in order to keep on better terms with the rich and the great. And who are the officers of this Society ? Many of them are slayeholders ; and the President is Henry Clay himself, that notorious buyer and seller of men, wo- men and children, who has done immea- surably more than any other person to uphold and extend slavery. And who is the Colonization Society Agent, that has been in Albany, the present winter, for the purpose of gaining favor with the Legisla- ture for your unhappy recommendations ? It is the same man, who argued, in his Colonization Newspaper, a year or two ago, that it is " dishonorable " and " dishonest" for a slave to run away from his master. As if this Reverend hypocrite would not, were ic to become a slave, run away from haster, if he could, Ay, and as if he would not make mince-meat of his pursuers, rather than suffer himself to be carried back by them. Such is the American Colonization So- ciety! Andis such a Society fit to be entrusted with the interests and disposal of our poor, hunted, tormented, ' kill-all- the-day-long" colored brethren? If it is, then are wolves the fit guardians of lambs. peated nonsense, that "the instincts of nature Nevertheless, your Message holds up this Society as the friend, the best friend, indeed the only effectual friend, of the colored people! Said I not truly, then, that you have been deceived by it ? Sorry, however, as 1 am for this deception, I, nevertheless, am not astonished by it. I know well the Janus-face of that society. I know well its double tongue. But for that Janus-face and that double tongue, it could never have succeeded in getting so much of my time and ten thousand dollars of my money. It has its phrases for tickling the ears of the slaveholder of the South, and its phrases for seducing the anti-slavery man of the North. It tells the slaveholder, that the remoyal of the free colored people will leave him secure in the possession of his slaves ; and it tells the anti-slavery man, that the Colonization Society is the agency for break- ing up slavery, and for civilizing and cbris- tianizing' Africa. Y Yes, my dear Sir, you have been deceived by the falsehoods of the Colonization So- ciety. I bee you to be deceived by them no longer. If you will look into the Society with your own eyes, you will wash your hands ofit as soon as you can, and as clean as youcan. But it is not by its falsehoods only, that you have been deceived ; it is by its fancies also. I well remember the impressions made upon my romantic and enthusiastic spirit by the pictures, which Henry Clay and others were accustomed to draw of the thriving towns which would ere long, fringe the whole coast of Africa, and of the quick succession of ships from our shores, laden with 'nvissionaries in the cause of civilization, republicanism, and Christi- anity." For so iu was that a single voyage and its salt water baptisms would convert into such glorious missionaries those, whom, whilst in America the Colonizationists are wont to designate as " black vagabonds " and "black raseals!" But ; " Where now are the pictures that fancy touch'd bright ?" Alas, they are all unrealized. Like Prospero's beautiful and gorgeous creations, they " Are melted into air--thin air." (Lo be continued.) West imdies. There was a terrible rumpus at Kingston, Jamaica, on the 23d and 24th ult. in con- sequence of the landing of five hundred American soldiers at that port. We give the particulars: From the Despatch, of January 28. Kingston was thrown into a state of con- siderable excitement on Friday and Satur- day, by the presence of some five hundred recruils, principally Irishmen, wearing the U.S. uniform, who had been permitted to land from the American steamer Falcon, and having become drunk, had got into several rows with the black people and the police. Seyeral byoken heads on both sides were the consequence ; but the most riotous of them became, after a while, so over- powered with liquor that they were easily secured, and either confined in the cage for the night, or taken to the lock-up. A lot of the men, whom it was attempted to rescue and put on board the ship, took post on the coal heaps, from which they shower- ed down huge lumps of coal on all around. Two subaltern officers attached to the foree--one of them, we learn, Lieut. Mason, of the 2d infantry, and another whose namé we could not ascertain, behaved with great spirit and pluck on the occasion; and it was in a great measure through their exer- tions that the men were got on board. The officer in command of the detatchment, we understand, is Captain Davy. These offi- cers appear to have fiad no control whatever over the men, For our part, we wonder the affair passed off so well as it did, and that some lives were not lost. Nothing could exceed the furious state of the black people, and if they had not been restrained we sre convinced very serious consequénces might have resulted. t Indeed, we ave pained to learn that an American officer, Major Sutton, received a severe blow on the forehead from a blud- geon held by a negro, which cut through the scalp and inflicted a painful and serious contusion. We fear alarge number of the men will be found to have deserted. It was found absolutely necessary to arm the foree, batons being quite useless. It was deemed requisite to send to the admiral at Port Royal, for a party of marines to as- sist in restraining them. Some fears were entertained that an attempt would be made by the recruits to take posession of the American steamship, Cincinnati, Feb. 19. Tan Huneartan Funp.--The Ladies' Hungarian Association, to the number of £00, assembled to day in the saloon of the Burnet House, and were presented to Kos- suth. Mrs. Telfor addressed Kossuth on the part of the Association, and presented him with $800. He made an appropriate reply. ' To-morrow Kossuth is to be presented with $1,400 by an Association of Germans. | Ree The erowth of grace is like the polishing of metals. There is first an opaque surface; by and by you see a spark dart- ing out ; then a strong light ; till at length it sends back a perfect image of the sun that shines wpon it-- Payson. ftw It has been calculated that the cost of all the wars carried on by Great Britain since the revolution in 1688 is £1,488,000,000 sterling ; of this amount £635,000,000 has been paid in taxes, while the remaining £803,000,000 remain in the form of the national debt, requiring to pay its interest £29,520,000 of the national re- venue.

Cotorup Prima Donwas.--Miss,Green- field is not the only colored prima donna. A lady, black as midnight, is making a sensa- tion as a vocalist in France and Spain ; her name is Marequita Martinez, a Cuban. She isa pet of the Queen of Spain. There is also a young girl of Tahiti, named Ovea, who now is, or was lately singing in Paris with the most magnificent soprano voice in the world. So nightingales need not all be white. -- Bost. Com. Cotonization 1n New Yorx.--There is now before the Senate of New York, a bill to aid emigrants of color from New York to Liberia. The bill provides that $10,000 shall be appropriated annually for two years to aid free persons of color belonging to the State, to remove to Liberia or other places on the western coast of Africa, under the direction of the N. Y. Colonization Society ; and it constitutes the Governor, Lieut. Governor, Comptroller, and Attorney General of the State, a Board of Commis- sioners, any two of 'whom shall constitute a quorum, ror the transaction of this busi- ness, and whio are to report annually to the Legislature. Tat Bren.--There isa oridge in course of construction on the Buffalo and N. Y. City Railroad, were it crosses the Genesee River, near Potageville. When completed it will be 230 feet high, and about 500 feet span ; stone piers, set on the bed of the rock, are curried up 30 feet from the bed of the river; a few rods above the upper falls. From che top of the piers, the wood- work rises 200 eel, and so perfect is the model of the bridge, (that may be seen on the ground), that it is thought there will not be the least tremor or motion, under the heaviest train of cars that may ever have occasion to pass over it. The timber grown on 160 aeres has' already been ex- hausted, and fifty acres more purchased. It is thought 220 acres will afford timber enough to complete the superstructure. Something of anidea may be formed of the size of the bridge, as it takes over 30 tons of iron, just for bolts--Vorthern Chris. Advocate. Thirteen hundred vessels entered, and thirteen hundred and ninety-two cleared at the port of Quebec during the year 1851. 1183 were British, and 35 from the United States. European Crists.--The Engtish corres- pondent of the Philadelphia North Ameri- can assures us that the events in France have not postponed the strike for liberty in Europe. Ile says that the republican league of Burope with Kossuth and Mazzini at the head is fully organized and extended in its ramifications through Europe, deter- mined to strike a heavy blow this year. He says that Kossuth could not prevent the movement if he would, yet he and Mazzini are its acknowledged leaders, When they march all will follow ; it is a matter of perfectinditference what course the political affairs of France, Austria, or England may take, these republicans are prepared to fight simultanously throughout Europe, and even the precise day is named, Tun Powrr or Krypness.--The Jack- sonyille (Il.) Journal says that when the superintendent of the asylum for the poor in that county first took charge of it he found an insane man who had been loaded with chains for years. Believing that this cruelty kept the man insane, he took the responsibility of taking them off, and gra- dually restoring him to liberty. The man at first raved, expecting fresh torture ; then he doubted and finally realized that he was free. Ile was overpowered with delight, exclaiming constantly, as he looked wpon the outer world of sunshine, "Oh, how beautiful!" The gratitude to his liberator prevailed. At length he voluntarily went to work in the garden though he had nearly lost all his power of locomotion, and became entirely recovered, He is now working on a farm.
