ig Host 0 our ae of oe the liberty of conscience is cloven down; editors are driven into exile, and their presses destroyed; the Gospel is fettered, and its mouth-piece gag- ged; d all compacts and agreements are perfidiously overturned. All this is the legi- ae fruit of the tree; and unless we lay t the root of the tree, and cut it give it to the consuming fire, we ie nothing--we are lost. I thank God for any kind of opposition to slavery, and am glad that any issue is raised; and I will re- spect every honest effort in behalf of freedom. But, until we cease to strike hands religiously, politically and governmentally with the South, and declare the Union to be at an end, I believe we can do nothing even against the 'encroachments of the Slave Power upon rights. When will the-people of the North see that it is not possible for liberty } and slavery to commingle, or for a true Union to be formed between freemen and slavehold- | ers? Between those who oppress and the op ressed, no concord is possible. This i--it is _a_lie, an imposture, | and our rst business is, to eck its utter overthrow. Tn this Union, there are three millions and a half of nee: clanking their chains in hope- less bondage. Let the Union be accursed! Look at the awful compromises of the Con- stitution, by which that instrument is satur- ated with the blood of the slave! But even if every word of it were unexceptionable, the fact would be none the less palpable, that it is not a question of parchment, but of moral possibilities. '¢ How can two walk together, except they are agreed ? We are against slavery. 'The slaveholders say to us, ' Tf we -eatch you south of Mason and Dixou's line, we will lynch you.' They declare that no man shall be put into office, who does not go for everlasting and universal slavery. Tow great the insanity ofthe North! Like Sam- 'son, it has foolishly revealed the secret of its : ee ay, and. the source of tts weakness; ar bh have taken Gewitive-put out its eyes, and ane it grind in the prison-house for them; and ii, at last it shall rise in its returning strength, it will be to fee for the pillars oi 'this heaven-accurs- ed Union, and bring it to the ground. Sam- son told Delilah that if she should cut off his s, he would be weak as other men. 'Then, id the Philistines, we know where the secret his strength lies ; and the deed was done. _O, the folly and infatuation of the people af: the North! : For sixty-eight years, we have been telling the slaveholders that we consider the prohoreasion of the American Union paramount to a!l other considerations! Do what you will for the extension of sla- very, or the subversion of our own rights, _ there is one thing we mean to do, and that Is, always to ane by the Union! For that, we will give up ev erything--conscience, self. re pect, manhood, liberty, all! ' We ask nothing more,' say the slavehoiders ; ' that is a carle blanc in our hands to wield against you with omnipotent effect ; it is all we : want ow. Weill have the Fugitive Slav We know you will wince, 'and remon- bill. strate, and threaten; but we have only to crack the whip of disunion over your heads, to bring you down on your knees at once. We will repeal the Missouri Compromise. We expect you to rave and resist; but you will yield the point, like whipping spaniels, when we threaten to dissolve ihe Union. You have agreed that, to save the Union, you will be pila to the end.' And so, all over the North, there is not a political party that does not say, ' We are for the Union? - The new 'fusion' or 'republican'? party reiterates the cry of the South, ' The Union, it must and shall be preserved.' What is this but the betrayal of liberty into the hands of the Philistines? Talk about restor- ing the Missouri Compromise! As well talk of causing the sun and moon to stand still! Talk of repealing the Fugitive Slave. bill ! 'When the sky falls, we a eatch larks.' talk about stopping the progress of slavery, and of saving Nebraska and Kansas !--Why, the fate of Nebraska and Kansas was sealed the first hour Stephen Arnold Douglas con- _ sented to play his perfidious part. I hold: that any man who talks of a Union with _slaveholders, such as they prescribe, has no right to eall himself a friend of the slave. In becoming an Abolitionist, I pledged myself dl by the. side or thé slave, and make case my own ; and Twill not support a Constitution from which he is excluded. I will goin for no Union in which he is doomed to clank his fetters. I will give allegiance to no Government which does not proiect his ts with my own. Therefore, I stand outside of this Government, and, by the help of God, I mean to effect its ov sohaee That seems to me to be the only consistent course tobe taken. 'No Union with Slaveholders!' ; Why ? Because they will have no Union , unless we will join io their villany. jot know what anti-slavery men mean y saying they are opposed to slavery, and yet for preserving the Union. The colored man who glorifies the Union which makes nim an outlaw, is beside himself. Our first duty is to pronounce the American Union ed of God--to arraign every man who OF it, and tell him, as Jesus told the ric young man in the Gospel, that whatever Ise he may have done, one thing he yet la eth: he must give up his support of the Union Why coribinue the experiment any a Ibis all madness and delusion ; let ery a eo. 'down 'with it. Whatever af in the way of freedom, I am for its overthrow. The slaveholders are powerless without us. It is the North, after all, which has done this evil work. Our business is with ourselves. The people of the North hold in their hands the key whereby the dun- - geon's door may be opened, and the slaves set free. We have little to do with the slave olders. I do not address myself to them; they are incapable of hearing or un- derstanding our arguments ; they are insane . My appeal is not to them, but to the people ae the North, who are the props and the pillars of the slave system. Let our rally- ry be, 'No Union with Slaveholders, ously or politically ? Let us up. with of disunion, that we may have a free ern Republic of our own, by the side of which no slaveholding despotism can exist. ~ and when that hour shall come, God will have made it possible for us to he one people from the Atlantic to the Pacific. <> eee 'Siives Emancipated. fenty-three negroes emancipated from , by the last will of the late Miss Ann liafero, of King William county, Va, passed through Wheeling, on Monday week, on. their 'way to Mt.

We have long thought of, and been deeply oppressed with what, seems to us, to be the cause of failure, to do the colored people, of Canada, good, by the efforts of their friends. It is very clear to us, that God's plan to benefit a certain people, or our race, as a whole, is the very best one that can possibly be adopted, to secure that end. We attri- bute the failure of our friends, to do us as a people, the good, they intended to do us, to their oversight to adopt G'od's mode to-ac- complish the work. It seems to us, that their First' efforts should have been to con- | vert the people to Christ, instead of the mere intellectual education of them. Had they succeeded in that, and it is certain that they might have done so, then, the people them- selves would have become fellow-helpers to the work, which, to us, is indispensably ne- ' cessary to success to any great degree. Such conversion would have fixed erasably upon It would induce them to act from principle. them a sense of their own. obligation. Their acts would have been consistent, pro- gressive, and beneficial. We do not mean to say that so much has not been true to some extent, but only, that, it would have been more so, in view of the end that ought to be attained. To accomplish such an end, too, teachers should have been-~ selected from the religuous denominations, ro wHicE THE PEOPLE BELONGED, among which they were to labour. It is a fact, that the colored people, of Canada, are almost entirely of the Baptist or Methodist persuasion, end nearly all the teachers sent among them have been either Presbyterians. or Congregationalists. No one need wonder at their failure, since black people have conscientious conviction of their duty, as wellas white ones! We thank our Presbyterian and Congrecational friends for what they intended to do, for us.: They ~But we must admonish our Baptist and Methodist friends, that they are sadly in fault, since they neglected their duty, and done but little or nothing for us, when they have been earnestly entreated to do something; nor are our " Pree Mission Baptist" friends, even to be excused, in ihis case. 2 The secoyp great truth that our people need to be taught is the nature, value, and dignity of humanity. We must know its nature, to properly appreciate it! We must know its value to be induced to take suitable care of it! We must know its digaily to lead us, to devolop, adorn, and sanctify it! Ignorance of such a subject has wrought nearly the ruin of more people than the colored people. To it may be attributed nearly all the demoralizing influences, to which, human nature is subjected. To leave us, in the road to ru¢x, and while in it, we must be careless, restless, and degraded. The rutrp point of instruction, we need, is on the duties growing out of the relations, we sustain to God, our families, to the church and state! Let us know the rela- tion, we sustain, and we will respect the duty arising from it. Whatever may. be true of the Sovereignty of God, and the destiny of man, still, to us, it is clear, all must turn upon OUR DUTY DONE, OR NOT Dong. It is fatal to any people, to be ignorant of the relation, they sustain to their Creator, Re-| deemer, and King, and the ruins, of duty not done, must follow, in the absence of such information. There is but little hope of family success, until its member under- stand theer relations to it, and be induced, by the obligation, they impose, to discharge their duties in it. The mission of the church, in our world, is too important, for us, not to know our relations tu it. Its existence, on earth, will depend upon its members doing their duty. What would our world be without a Christian church in it? and is that @ Christian church, in which its mem- bers perform zot their duty? Our relations | to our country are various, and the duties, from such, are many and onerous. 'To be patriots, or lovers of our country, we must To have of a prolific imagination when religiously error of missionaries generally to EDUCATE country, &e. | Should he remain in Canada, as the Mis- PROVINCIAL FREEMAN AND WEEKL' to get what did not belo to them; but Be: Sees and to fire in a state of complete confusion.

We must at least help to refine its society, develop its resources, and defend its interests! We are firm believers in the spirit-world, and in things eternal and unseen." Hence, the rourtTa point of importance, to us, is, to give-us such information as is revealed re- specting these things, and not the fancy of excited, as has been too fi requently the case with our religious teachers. The things that belong to immortality, and eternal lile, we would know, and-be guided to obtain them. We need instruction about heaven, while on earth, and how to use the latter to obtain the former. Who among the saints below, That to the church their time has given, Will to us, the needed show, The use of earth, and way to heaven ? We hold that intellectual education is to be subservient to such an end, or it is worse than no education at all; hence, with us, the FIFTH point of great interest, is, a physical education. Mark! the /ifth point, not the first one!! The great error of our friends has consisted in making it rrrst. It is the THE HEATHEN FIRST, in order to their be- coming Christzans, when they should make their Christians first, in order to their being properly educated. Such a plan does not meet with God's approbation, and there should not be much regret at its failure! Such a plan will do for heaven, not earth, in its present state, and especially that part of it called Canada! We want. laborers among us of the right sort, and who will commence their work in the right way. Such persons wiil do us good, We ask our friends in the name of God, and our wronged humanity, shall we have them?

In a few hours we may hear of some more important operations. Our readers need not be informed that the presence of the fleet in this qnarter points to some attempt against | two fortified towns in which the strength of - the enemy chiefly lies. Kinburn is situated at the extreme western point of a peninsula | which forms the southern shore of the estuary of the Dnieper. On the opposite side is the celebrated Oczakof, the capture of which by Catharine gave rise 'to a singular episode in , our Parliamentary history. "The projection of these promontories and the shallowness of the water leave only a narrow channel, of less than a mile in width, by which the me: per and the Bvg can be reached. . 'The water, near Oczakoff and Kinburn is nowhere more than four fathoms in depth, and immediately | the guif of the Dnieper is entered it shoals to three fathoms. About 60 miles east of: the entrance stands Cherson, at the head of the delta of the Dnieper, to the north of a. wilderness of marshy islands. The Bug. flows into the gulf of the Dnieper, and about 35 miles up the Bug is Nicholaieff, the build. ing yard of the Black Sea fleet, Kinburn and Oczakoff therefore form the towers of the gate which leads to two of Russia's most im- portant military towns. Ti has been gener- ally said that Odessa is the storehouse which supplies the Russian armies in the Crimea. | We believe this noiion to be only partially | | correct; indeed, a little examination will show that the town does not lie between the | chief corn-erowing districts and the Crimea; | and that supplies would be taken out of their | way by being carried to Odessa. -There is | every reason "to believe that Nicholaieff, and | still more, Cherson, are the chief granaries of the Raciue armies, or at Jeast through them one line of the convoys passes which have om It is with' great | gatisfaction, therefore, that we Jearn that this | important quarierhas been threatened by the Allied fleet, and we oes that.the Admirals | have the means of striking a heavy blow within the present year. 1t is now evident. that the appearance before Odessa wasa fe'nt, | no doubt intéhded to draw off troops from | Oczakoff. The Allied foree on board the fleet is said to consist of several thousand men, of whom 3,500 are British troops. It 'appears to.be a part of the British force which has made good its landing in the neigh- bourhood of Kinburn ; bet the results of the expedition, will, no doubt de pend mainly on the number pail eflicie acy of the smaller res- sels. The teres raphic despatch from Odessa a few days since siated that eighty vessels /were in sight of the harbour; it may there- fore be conciaded that nearly the whole force of gunboats and steamers is employed on the expedition. Both France and England have lately sent a large number of these craft into the Elack Sea, and the last. recorded exploits is given in our impression of this day. On the 24th of September Admiral. Bruant de- spatched Commander Bonet with 10 gun- boats, a despateh- boat, and a steamer against Tamen a Fanagoria, which stands near each other on the eastern shore of the Straits of Kertch. This small force sufficed to de- stroy the towns, in svite of 800 Cossacks. livery building which could shelter the Rus- sian troops on the Kuban during the winter was demolished, a quantity of cannon was taken, anda great advantage gained, without, as-it appears, the loss of a single man. The. position of Yenikale is by this operation ren- dered more secure during the period at which. the straits may be frozen. 'These gunboats haye probably by this time been added to the force off the mouth of the Dnieper. The Kimperor of the French sent out during the summer a considerable number of the Rhone steamboats, and their small draught of water will allow them to ascend the stream in spite of natural and artificial obstacles. It may be hoped, therefore, that the allies will be ab'e not only to reduce Kinburn, but to carry out operations against the a which it pro- oe The frosts of the ensuing winter may. set in sufficiently early to retard the work for a time, but the country will be glad to learn that at least a commencement has been made.

"A brilliant cavalry engagement took place on the-29th of September at Koughill (live leagues north-east of Eupatoria, y. in which the Russian cavalry under Gen. Kovf | was compleiely defeated.
