Theve had always been among tho early settlers of the Tmpiro Stuto opposers of slnvery. Tho first Abo'lition Society on this continent ‘was organ- 1zedl fu tho Ciky of New York in 1784, undor tho P rosidenoy of Johu Jay.

'They roatod upon ths lnurels won in tho pnst, nud fattercd thomealves with hopes of emaucipation at no distant. future, Intho menntimo, slavery becamo profitablo, .Eli Whitney gave to tho South tho_ cotton .and with it slave-lnbor wns rondered profitable.

Now Lundy all the timo was donling with the moral sonss of tho slave- holdera, although it is not aseorted thnt Lo taught them tho doctrine of immodiate omanci- pation. There is snothier phase about immo- dintoism which is stated as the duty of immadiuto omancipation from n conviction of tho ossential stufnlness of slaveholding ; immedinte ropont~ ance and putting away tho siu ; o confossion of guilt being tho impulse to omancipation, This s o doctrino -that hiad o sting to it, with tho alavebolderd ; and it was not much propagated at the Bouth, even by thoso catled Anti-Slavory mon. But Lundy's Inbors led ofton to DIREGE EMANCIPATION, Ho had many trionds with iuilnontial men at the South.

THE EDITORIAL YIGNETLE I woll romember ; it soemed to have been quite pob of Mr. Lundy's; 1 think it was of his own deflifiuing. 1t wag not quite clear to mo what truth wus to bo inferred fromit.

It was not a strauge question, if ourown color wora in that condition. * Mr, Luudy wonld huye had it aviced oven - of tho black man also doomed to deag tho bali and ehain. THE MOTTOES. Mr. L\mdf's paper, beeide that plercing motto, ‘S Justitia flal,” rual coelum,” also enrriod on its front “this motto sleo: “Wo hold theso trnths to bo solf-ovident thut ol men uro created equal, and aro endowed by their Crentor wilth cortain inlienablo rights, among which sro hte, livorty, aud the pursuit of huppiness.,” 1 kopt tho ssmo motto nt the head of my paper, which succcoded his, a8 long us L printed any. 1 have written” that motto n thousand times, ropoated it na many thousands moro, and printed it probubl millions of timos, and I am not tived of iL yot. think Lundy felt that his gront power, undor Godas his liolpor, 8 b raformer, was 'lu tho fuudamental truth of that motto, *' Liberty, tho roat endowment of God 'to mankind,” I thiuk ho would not have contonded for it, as ho did o tho humblest of God's creaturos, if ho did not boliove that it wns tho gift of Gud. Thoere wes o grand royslty in his nature; ho would respect the gift of & Friuco, & govereign, or au honorable man, and would Jirizo it the moro, according to tho -di;iuny of the givor. . A gift from God was above all prico. 1 huvo not spolken as X would have done could tlus audionco have borne, as the subject de- Berves, & comploto portraiture of tho humbl, growt man and his works—of hiu soveral expodi~ tiona to tho Woat Indin Islands, to convey thers the slaves that were emancipatod and placed in lus care to bo conveyed to the ouly littlo nook aud coruor of tho Now World whoro tho bluck mun wad free. Is itnotono of tho strangest fuoty that ever wero kinown, that—nfter God had kept thig Now World sosled up for nearly 6,000 yeurs for tho use of mankind, almost ub tho glorious sunsot ago of tho world whon Christizy civilization laid its hands upon it, Loro alono over all tho facn ot the onrth should be found what we may call logale izod sluvery; thatby luw ono, is decmod the proporty of anotber?” Thut is not tho sluvery of Afrien, nor of Asis,—thero it is not a erima framed in and issuing out of tho statute-hook, 1t is only might, und will, and robbory there, and o sluve 14 one beeanso ho ean bo cuptured, Hore the iniquity wus frumed into the civil code, which aimed to commund obedionco from the elvilized world, aud the coscurrouce of the Christinn roligion, Lundy loped for deliver~ nuco from ‘this moral stultitleation, in the conviotion that muw's rights ave gifts from hig Creator. Lundy's Abolitionism toolk on MORE PHASES, dlrectly pertaining to its relations to tho slaves, thun hag been genorally advocated by our Anti- Slavery reformors, Most of us advoeatod our views {n au intensifled form, and wo wero culled oue-idoamon. Mr, Gurridon i ono of tho most noted instances of ‘intonsitication of his princi- pley, sud wo may say the samo of our friend Goodell, Mr. Lundy seomed inclined to carry many oxpedients (nob oxpoediency) into bia Aunti-Slavery work. Somo havo said be was not early an ~immediate emuncipntionist; thad ho * favored tho golonization schome, and tnught the ameliorgtion (2, viows which . HUPPOHOI h . wore ‘;ouurnl)y not to be quite up to Culvin in the Abol lllo.u thoology, I think this phaso in Mr, Lundy's Abolition ¢haractor {8 to Lo accounted for in this wisos thut ho was onrnest to Lnyvo somothing dong, and dono withont delay. ‘Theroforo, ha wan willing to do for the tito Loing tho hout thut could bo dono. Bo it wus that ha wai ever rend( to fleo_aionco with a curzo ot omaneipated sluves to Haytl, glad to got them out of tho Jion's den; thoy wero so muny from tho almost countloss numbor, snatehod as brands from tho burning, froed from ohriny, now rondy 10 stast on & caroor of asconsion n the eeal of lumanity, .
