The never become men or women. - Jok went to his master on Saturday night, to obtaina pass to visit Chole. His master was intoxicated, and therefore he could not write a pass. No other eee in the neigh- borhood could write ; and Jok's mistress told him it would not be aie for. him to go with- out a pass, as it was contrary to law. Jok waited unfil morning. Chloe sat up all night watching for him "with deep anxiety, lest some evil had befallen him, fearing that he had been whipped, or sold away. Slaves are very faithful in fulfilling promises to visit friends, in order to remove such fears. that his master was still sick, and not able to write; but that he had been up to Mrs. C.'s so many times she would run_ the risk to let him go without a pass. 'You tell Mrs. C., said she, 'that your master is sick, and that I sent you up there without a pass ; and she will excuse it.' When Jok came up to the gate, the over- seer went out, as his custom was, and de- "manded his pass. The slave informed him that his master was so sick he could not write one, that he waited all night for it, and his mistress told him to come without one. 'Go home, you scoundrel !' said the over- seer, 'and get your pass?' Jok started back towards his home.

He thought he would press his way through the gate, by the. overseer, and.run to the door and ascertain: what Mrs. C. wanted, and then go home: for his pass.

Mrs. C. ran out, and taking hold of Jok's arm, she ae "Why, Jok, you don't Wer shat you are doing! Jam afraid they will kill you! and take a little whipping, and then go for your pass!' Jok arose instantly, at the request of Mrs. C. As soon as the overseer was able to do so, he sprang up, rushed into the house, and ied a gun which he had loaded sail shot the night previous.

If there were any possi- ble justification of the law of retaliation-- if revenge ever could be right--he would have been justified i in taking the life of his mistress. Had he not been a slave, public sentiment would have pronounced him guilt- less. Sohe felt. Instead of trying to escape, he ran immediately to the court-hou:e-- where the court. was then in session--told the officeas what he had done, and express- ed his willingness to suffer the penalty of the law. That, "like those who take life without any excuse, he would, in due course of law, suffer upon the ga! llows, was what he antici- pated. He wished not. to.avoid the doom. He desired not to live. But the slaveholders in. that region deci- ded that he should suffer a different fate. They determined. that he-should be burned alive ! And they offered him up--a saeri- tice--upon. the bi ona altar of slavery! They raised money, by subscription, to pay his mistress for her loss. Several per- sons admitted to _me that they contributed for that purpose. The slave was given up to them, and for five days he received fifty lashes each day, upon his naked back, with the heavy ' cotton planters whip. So was his Heavenly Master scourged Belore his cruel death! The appointed day,--which some said was Saturday, others Monday, but which my informant said was the Sabbath,--at length arrived, and the multitude assenibled: there is a sparse populationin that and the adjoin- ing eountics,--not over five thousand within a space of thirty miles square:--and yet the number present was variously estimated at from ten to fifteen thousand. All the slaves in all that region were compelled to attend. The slave who was to be executed was the husband of a young wife, and the father of two little: daughters, who were also forced to be present! The victim was led out from the place of his confinement to an oak tree, near the court house, where he was surrounded by a vast crowd of behold - ers, clamoring for the consuming fire! 'The single parment he had on was taken off, naked, he was drawn up several feet from the earth, and hung suspended upon a large limb. A slow fire, made of hard pine shav- ings, was then kindled beneath him.

Then one of the fiends thrust in a 'hook, prepared in like manner, and dragged out the heart! An- other tore out the liver! A third wrenched out the lungs!

OTT ON Olle ees OO oe een The Future of the Colored Canadians, The position of the colored people in Ca- nada wiil ultimately be the same as that of their white fellow citizens. A perfect equality among the people of different nations in this country is the will of God, hence positively certain. Whatever prejudice may say and do--God is on our side,.and will aid us! Our position in and relations to the country will help to bring about such a result. The increasing influence of our piety, our intel- | ligenee, and wealth, will fix the fact irrevo- cably. Our children will as certainly seek and find their level, which will be the wAzte boys and girls of ther generation, as water finds its level and wind its equilibrium! Though such a result is morally certain, yet naturally, the colored men and women, among us, can do much to hasten or retard Our children should be inspired to hope to see such a day, by our charity, our union, and progress! The weal of our country, the happiness of our race, and the glory of Christ it, by tne influence of their example. depend, in no little degree upon the coming of that day, and for it may we live and con- secrate our all! The concomitant parts of that virtue, that secures such an end, are industry, knowledge, and morality; hence the colored mea of our country should pos- sess good farms, and cultivate them properly, or the mechanic art, and use it, or the pro- fessions, as ministers of religion, as doctors, or lawyers, &c. Our churches must be kept up, and made places of piety, of usefulness, and attraction. Our secular and Sabbath schools must not be allowed to go down, nor fail to accomplish the ends for which they were established--the intellectual and moral improvement of our children and- youth. Such school will give a relish for higher attainments, and prepares the way for ac_ | quirements, in legal lore, in natural science, and the knowledge of God, which will secure, for them, places of honor, of trust, and emo- lument. The nature of our children and the spirit of the age demand so much, and it is for parents to say, whether such demand Shall be met with manful resolve, and pious determination! The school libraries are great auxiliari ies, in the bringing about the final result. They should be freely used by the aged and young, and where there is no library, one should be got up immedi- ately. Reading clubs, and literary associa- tions are fellow helpers in the good cause, and no city, town, or settlement, should be without them. Innocent amusements, the /numerous moral concerts, and the intellec- tual feasts, and fattenings of the lecture room, will aid "the good time coming." Such things give the same inclination to the mind of the colored youth, as they do to that of the white one. Their minds being cast in the same moulds, if the features of One are admired, those of the other must be also! Such things elevate, and dignify the | character of the aged and young, of the black, and the white. These things exist, among us, in common, for the white and colored people. If they be equally used, by both classes, the result must be the samg, since mind is mind. God brought our peo- ple here, to enjoy these biessings, and so they are doing and will continue to do; hence PERFECT EQUALITY MUST BE THE ULTIMATE The future of the colored Cana- master had sold him to go to Arkansas.

'There i Is reason to believe, that the fellows, who are afraid of white faces, are afraid also of black ones ! The real ob- ject of the meeting was, it seems, to call Rev. J. HL Young, and" Capt." J. C. Brown to account for taking upon themselves to send out an Agent to collect funds to enable the Committee to obtain legal advice about Dawn, and to file the bill in Chancery against the original Trustees, for non-performance of their duty, &c. Well, these gentlemen were there, and answered for themselves-- and such a backing out you never did see! We could not get the object of the meeting stated fairly by a single one of its getters up; indeed, the goed guaner--the main mover in the matter, who was expected to shoot right at the mark, and tear the game te pieces, by every body, did not dare appear on the field, when he heard the fowls were _plenty!--having passed through a College, as the Jack A** down the road, we certainly loo\ed for him to be present, since, he posi- tively must have learned enough, to enable him, to take atm, and pull the trigger, if he could not hit the crocodile ! There was a right good will, in the dod- gers to do something to aid, and comfort the white and black mendicants of Judas noto- riety! Is secret Associations to be promoted by such humbugs? We tell such Orders, that if they allow certain ones of their fra- ternity, to put forth efforts to sustain villians, who should not be countenanced by a decent set of infidels, then verily their organization must come to naught. There are many of such Orders, who are good men, and they will no doubt oppose their own brethren, who are fanatics, and determined to uphold a brother, right er wrong, and if God will help us, we will help the good in opposing | ? the bad! We put in a word, during the meeting. Weassure them that Capt. SiG: Brown was right, in informing the public that the debts of the Dawn Institute were paid BEFORE " Daddy Joe" went to England, as far asthe Trustees and Executive Com- mittee were concerned. We assure them. that Bro. John--ought not to be believed on oath! for he was guilty of uttering falsehood publicly, which WE couLp prove! and that their distinguished fellow-citizen, John Crow> Esq., before he died, had given us a docu- ment, signed in the presence of B.

I feel honored by the call made upon me by some of my fellow citizens of Kentucky, as being considered competent for the ardu- ous task they assigh me, of drawing up and presenting to. an honorable body of men, thus drawn together from all parts of this State of bright and clouded intellects, a proposition of such vast magnitude, fraught with such inestimable blessings to the born and unborn millions of my fellow men, of this my own and loved Kentucky, and these United States. A proposition for the gradual abolition of negro Slavery, and I might say of white also, if not too revolting, if received, carried out, and fully acted upon, will result in so much renown, peace and interest ; not only to this my adopted State, but to the proud republic of America and the world Io for EQUAL RIGHTS--EQUAL FREEDOM and EDUCATION TO ALL MEN, black or white.
