Such poems, we believe, exert a beneficial influence. "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold on beds of silver." A young rose in the summer time Is beautiful to me, And glorious the many stars That glimmer on the sea; But gentle words, and loving hearts, And hands to clasp my own, Are better than the brightest flowers, Or stars that ever shone! The sun may warm the grass to life, The dew the drooping flower, And eyes grow bright and watch the light Of autumn's opening hour-- But words that breathe of tenderness, And smiles we know are true, Are warmer than the summer time, And brighter than the dew. It is not much the world can give, With all its subtle art, And gold or gems are not the things To satisfy the heart. But O, if those who cluster round The altar and the hearth, Have gentle words and loving smiles, How beautiful is earth! Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource C.D.

GARRISON: SIR—In a recent correspondence with a friend, who is 'as much opposed to slavery as any body,' he says, he thinks those individuals in N. England, who inherit the property acquired by their fathers in the slave trade, 'stand precisely on the ground of the great majority of the slaveholders'—(those, I suppose, who inherit slaves)—and that they should give up their property, which is in 'dollars,' as well as those which is in slaves, as he thinks it would be no greater sacrifice than they demand of the South, and as the only test which will satisfy him of the genuineness of their philanthropy; but he says he hears not a word about this property.' Now, all these 'dollars' and cents would aid our cause much, very much; for who, but the colored man, should have the benefit of said property? He also thinks that in using the products of slave labor, 'the partaker is as bad as the thief,' and that to cease doing so would be a sure remedy for slavery—and is ready any day to adopt this method of doing away slavery, whenever his abolition brethren shall become determined so to do. He thinks that to rail against slavery, and at the same time purchase the products of slave labor, is like railing against rum-selling, and at the same time purchase rum. I think there is some difference, as rum is pernicious in itself—products of slave labor not, but good when made by free labor. But whether the difference is sufficient to justify the purchasing those articles, I know not. I wish for the right paths. Yours for the slave, CELIA.

Title A name given to the resource Free Labor Produce Description An account of the resource FRIEND Q— I have waited to see if there would be any response in the Liberator to the letter of our friends in Philadelphia on the subject of obtaining from the products of slave labor ; but as nothing appears from head quarters, I have a suggestion to make. Agreeing as I do on the general view of the subject taken by our Philadelphia Friends I am desirers to do something to relieve myself and others as far as practicable from the necessity of being obliged to give this kind of support to slavery. I have no controversy with Mr. Garrison and these who take his view of the questions, for I am aware that we cannot avoid giving to some extent this kind of support to unrequited labor, without going out of the world. Still I would do all that can be done Therefore, all persons who are in favor making an effort to avoid (as much as possible) the purchase of the products of Slave labor , are required to meet at the offer of Grandin &. Dudley, No. 238 Washington Street, on Friday evening, Sept. 1st. at 7 12 o'clock. to consult upon the measures necessary to be taken to form a free labor produce association. D.S. GRANDIAN.

Title A name given to the resource Free Labor Association Description An account of the resource PHILADELPHIA, 10 mo. 2, 1840 ESTEEMED FRIEND, I have not unfrequently, in my capacity as corresponding Secretary of the American Free Produce Association, and also as an individual sympathising with thee and and the great and glorious struggle for human fredom in which we are mutually engaged, felt disposed to address thee; and as the approaching anniversary of our Free Produce Society is so near at hand, I have felt satisfied to remain quiet no longer, without at least inviting thee to attend our meeting. My dear friend, I have been greatly at a loss to see how, consistently with thy general character, thee could remain so silent upon the question of abstinence. I should regret to think that one whose whole soul was so deeply interested in the anti-slavery cause should have so far passed by the consideration of this branch of the subject, as to b ignorant of its important bearing on the main question, and should as deeply regret a failure to plainly and boldly avow the conviction if once made. In the name of millions of enslaved fellow-beings--in the name of our glorious cause of christianity and of consistency--I urge upon thy mind the serious enquiry--'art thou performing thy duty in this branch of the anti-slavery reform?' I just observe, in the accounts given in some of the European journals which have been kindly sent me, that when there, thee was able to see that if the professed friends of the slave would 'touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing,' their abstinence would produce a powerful effect upon the system--that, if Britain should refuse to receive slave produce, it would strike a death-blow to the monster. Now, from this I should draw the general inference, that those who partake of slave produce are guilty, as a mass, of upholding the unrighteous system. I also infer that individuals composing a community, or mass of people, partake of the guilt pertaining to the crimes which the mass may commit while they are leagued with them in the perpetration. Hence, the comparative feebleness of the influence of the abstinence of one person does not lesson the guilt of partaking. This subject might be prolonged far beyond the limits of this sheet, if my time, and thy patience, but I feel it to be unnecessary. 'A word to the wise is sufficient.' Our meeting will be held in this city on the 20th instant. I earnestly invite thy attendance, and extend the invitation to every friend of the cause of honest inquirer--independent of party, sect, color, sex, or condition. I feel a confidence that thy mind is so far established upon the 'general equality of the human family,' as to regard none the less the suggestions which I have made on account of the humble source from which they emanate.

Description An account of the resource <div> JUVENILE DEPARTMENT. <xsl-text></xsl-text> For the Liberator<xsl-text></xsl-text>. EDWARD AND MARY. 'Why do you call that new frock of yours, that you seem so proud of, your <xsl-text></xsl-text>free <xsl-text></xsl-text>frock, Mary?' said Edward Middleton to his sister on the morning after his return from boarding-school; 'and what did you mean last evening by talking of free sugar and free cakes?' 'Don't you know,' answered his sister,—'no, I forgot,—you have been so long from home that I suppose you do not know, that we have taken to using <xsl-text></xsl-text>free things <xsl-text></xsl-text>lately, that is, such as are made by free laborers instead of slaves.' 'What is that for?' 'Because it is very wicked, you know, Edward, to keep people in slavery, and make them work all day as hard as they can, beside often treating them very badly, and then not pay them a cent of their earnings.' 'But they are fed, and clothed, and taken care of,' interrupted Edward. 'I do not think you would like to be so fed, and clothed, and taken care of,' answered Mary; 'only, at best, a blanket and a little straw to lie on, and nothing but corn and rice, with sometimes a little soup of salt fish, to eat all the year round; and often not enough of that. You thought it very bad to be sick last winter, though you had a kind mother to nurse you, and everything done to make you comfortable;—how would you like to be beaten to your work, as some of the poor slaves are, as long as you were able to stand, and when you were suffered to lie down, have no soft bed, nor scarcely any attention paid you?' 'I am neither a slave nor a negro,' answered Edward, coolly. 'No, but you are a human being, Edward, and so are they; and I should suppose you would have the same feelings; but if you think the color of the skin a matter of so much consequence,' added she laughing, 'you ought to be very careful of your complexion; you have tanned monstrously since you were last at home, I assure you, and, according to your own rule, you cannot expect us to like you quite so well as formerly.' Edward smiled. 'Well, Mary,' said he, 'I acknowledge that I do not think that the mere color of a man's face can be a very reasonable excuse for treating him ill. But the southern slaves are the property of their masters, sis; and if it was wrong, do you think the laws would allow them to be kept in slavery?' 'But you forget, Edward, that the masters of the slaves, the owners of this property, as they call it, have a great share in making the laws, and they will be sure to have such as suit themselves. It is the very circumstance of its being lawful, father says; which makes slavery so much more disgraceful to our country. Would you not be very much ashamed, if you were a man, and in Europe, and any one there was to ask you, if men and women in the United States were not advertised for sale in the newspapers, and driven about the country in herds like cattle, and sold, too, just like them, at public auction? And you know you could not deny that it was the truth!' Edward colored and looked rather uneasy, for the honor of his country was a point on which he was particularly sensitive. But he was not willing yet to give up, and his mortification gave a slight degree of asperity to his tone as he replied— 'White people never are sold here; and the slaves have never been used to anything else; beside, Mary, the blacks are naturally inferior to us.' 'Oh, Edward, how can you think so! they are human beings, created by the same God, and with the same sort of minds as ourselves; but they have never had any such advantages of education as we have, for, in the slave states, you know, they are not even allowed to learn to read and write; and here, though they are free, people have always been too much prejudiced against them, to give them a fair chance of shewing their talents; beside, they have mostly been too poor, when they were young, particularly, to spare the time, or to go to the expense of much learning.' 'And if they had as fair a chance of being well educated, do you think they would ever have as much sense as the white people?' 'Yes, certainly I do. There are instances enough to prove it, and if you will let me, I will show you some of them.' 'Very well; but I do not promise to be convinced, though,' said Edward, 'I dare say,' added he laughing, 'you will give up the notion of not using any more slave produce first. I do not think you will long hold out against the temptation of cakes and molasses candy.' 'We shall see,' answered Mary, quietly. 'Yes, we shall see, no doubt,' said Edward, again laughing. 'But, Mary, you have not yet told all your reasons for not liking slave produce. If slavery <xsl-text></xsl-text>is <xsl-text></xsl-text>wicked, what have you to do with it? Do you expect to abolish it?' 'No, to be sure not, myself alone; but if nobody would buy anything that was raised by slave labor, their masters would be glad to set them free, and have them to their work, so that they might sell their crops But I had much rather go without preserves, and cakes, and all such things, than to eat such as are made with slave sugar; for I cannot help thinking all the time, that perhaps some poor slave has been beaten almost to death, on account of the very morsel I may be eating; and I think, too, that if slavery is wicked, it must be wrong to use the things that encourage the master to keep his slaves.' 'Well, I think you will soon be tired of it, Molly,' said Edward, as he put on his hat and left the room. Edward did not forget the subject of their conversation, nor would his sister have suffered it to pass from his memory had he been inclined to do so. She wished to conquer his prejudices, and as he had hazarded a prediction of her instability, he made use of every opportunity to advance its fulfillment. But Mary was not so easily laughed out of her principles as he had expected. Both her resolution and temper were proof against all the attacks of temptation, teasing and ridicule; and her firmness gradually inspired her brother with more respect for her sentiments. There was less of contempt mingled with the good nature with which he listened to her conversation on her favorite topic; and from attending merely to oblige her, to the various proofs which she was at somepains to collect and produce to him, of the mental equality of the colored race, he began to read, and to listen with considerable interest; and at length even to assist her in her researches, and sometimes to supply her with arguments to use against himself. He had looked over the 'Account of the Africas Free School in New-York,' and acknowledged that George Allen's essay was as good as he could have written himself;—he had read some of Phillis Wheatley's and George Norton's poetry—Mott's Sketches of the People of Color had afforded them several evenings of very agreeable entertainment, with which Edward was as much gratified as his sister. Mary told him the story of the Spanish painter slave, Juan de Pausa, and read to him the most interesting passages of Brissot de Warville's Memoir of the Black of America; and Edward, at last, frankly owned himself almost convinced. He was sitting one morning, after breakfast, with his mother and sister, looking over a volume of Montgomery's Poems, when the following lines in the 'West Indies' arrested his attention— 'When Clarkson his victorious course began, Unyielding in the cause of God and man, Wise, patient, persevering to the end. No guile could thwart, no power his purpose bend; He rose o'er Africa like the sun in smiles, He rests in glory on the western isles.' 'Mother,' said he, when he had finished reading it, 'I have often heard of Clarkson;—will you tell me something about him?' 'He was one of the earliest, the most active, and the most useful advocates for the abolition of the African Slave trade,' answered his mother. 'When he was a young man, and a student at the university of Cambridge, the question, "Is it right to make slaves of others, against their will?" was given to the students as a subject for a latin prize easay. Clarkson was a young man of talents, and as he had gained the premium on the preceding year, he was particularly anxious to do so on this, as a failure would have been esteemed disgraceful. 'Then he was not very much interested in the subject on which he wrote?' enquired Edward. 'No; he had probably never thought much more about it than you had of American slavery when you came home from school; but he had no sooner become, in some degree, acquainted with it, than he was filled with horror at the atrocities which it presented to his view. His essay was finished, and received the distinction for which it contended, but he could not drive from his mind the thought of all the oppression and cruelties that were practised by his countrymen, upon their unoffending fellow creatures. The sufferings of the poor Africans were continually before him. He became exceedingly anxious that the British public might be awakened to a sense of the wickedness they were encouraging; but at this time he was not acquainted with any one who sympathized in his feelings, and it seemed to him almost impossible that a single individual, and he so young a man too, should be able to bring about any change in a traffic which had been so long authorized by the government, and with which the interest of many of his countrymen were closely connected. However, he resolved to translate his essay into English, and have it published, which he did, and was, by this means, introduced to several persons of the same sentiments as himself; and finding it was necessary for the advancement of the cause, that some persons should devote to it probably his whole life, he generously gave himself up for that purpose.' 'It was a noble resolution!' exclaimed Edward, while his eye kindled with his increasing interest; 'did he succeed, mother?' 'He did; but it was not till after a long and weary struggle, during which, his time, his health, and his talents, were are all bestowed upon this one great object. But he was rewarded for all when he saw his labors successful, and his country purified from the disgrace and guilt of trading in human flesh.' 'Cannot you tell me anything more about it?' asked Edward. 'I could, but if you wish to know anything' further, you had better read the Abridgment of his History of the Abolition, which you will find in your father's Library.' 'Mother, is American slavery really so bad—so bad as it is represented?' said Edward, hesitatingly, like one who fears the confirmation of some unpleasant presage. 'I believe it is, my dear, quite as bad as the worst pictures have portrayed it. It is not very easy to exaggerate the atrocity of this system. We cannot deny, either to ourselves or the world, that two millions of our countrymen are kept in a state of the most abject slavery; that the infamous traffic in human flesh is countenanced by the Government; and that parents and children, brothers and sisters, and husbands and wives are forcibly separated from each other, and sold to strangers by the sheriff's officer, or the auctioneer. Edward! how would you feel to see me daily driven out into the fields to labor, by the horsewhip of a merciless overseer, and sometimes, for a trifling fault, or when, perhaps, I had sunk down, exhausted from toil, to see me beaten till the lash was red with my blood?' 'Mother!' exclaimed Edward, starting up and flinging his arms round her, while the tears sprang to his eyes, and his cheeks flushed to the color of crimson. 'Yet this,' continued his mother, 'is what many of the poor negro women have to submit to, and what their sons are obliged to behold in silence; and the African children are said to be remarkably attached to their parents, Edward,' she proceeded, in a low impressive voice, after a momentary pause, while she put aside the hair from his forehead and stooped to touch it with her lip,—'if you live to be a man, you will have it in your power to tread in the steps of Clarkson,—to assist in removing this disgrace from your country, and to aid in rescuing the poor negro mothers and sisters from a state of degradation and suffering, which you start from beholding your own reduced to, even in idea.' Edward released himself from the circling arm of his mother, and stood, for a moment, as if he was endeavoring to gather his thoughts and feelings into more distinctness. 'Mother,' said he, at length, 'I feel now what the command means, that we should do as we would be done by. And if ever I am a man, and slavery is not abolished then, you shall see that I have not forgotten what you have told me to day.

LONDON, Oct. 1850. I am just returned from a fortnight's tour into the West, and have held large meetings in Bristol, Newport, Plymouth, Davenport, and Modbury. I never found friends more hearty or enthusiastic, or the League cause more promising in its aspect. Two or three of these meetings were in aid of the Free Labor movement, and I had the company of Dr. Pennington of N.Y. I wish some of your "Fugitive Slave" law makers could have been present at Bristol, (once the strong-hold of the pro-slavery party in England,) and could have seen the reception given by 2000 of its citizens to the fugitive slave, the negro D.D. They stood up and gave him three tremendous hurrahs; and they manifested the deepest sympathy, as he detailed the provisions of the last act of American slave legislation. Surely, this iniquitous law must ensure its own overthrow, and must hasten the final destruction of the accursed system altogether. I think that if the American people really knew what an intense feeling of disgust and contempt this measure has created in England - what a weapon it has placed in the hands of the despots here, who taunt the men of progress, and say - "Look at your Republic; do you want to pull down our glorious constitution, and give us such liberty as this?" What can we say? Why, I tell our friends manfully to take their own share of the odium - to say to themselves, "Yes, it was England that first introduced slavery in the American colonies; it is English gold that now mainly buys American cotton, rice and tobacco; but now, in answer to the American fugitive slave bill, let England run up the Free Labor flag, and starve the system to death." I have been attending a large meeting of ladies and gentlemen at the Anti-Slavery office this morning, and we have formed a Central Free Labor Produce Association. It was resolved to open a warehouse in London for the wholesale supply of all kinds of free labor cotton goods. The demand is rapidly springing up, and it will soon be found that capital cannot be more profitably employed than in the cultivation of free labor cotton. A colored gentleman from Jamaica, studying for the church in this country, was present, and informed us that much interest is beginning to be felt in Jamaica in the growth of cotton, and that the planters in that island are looking forward to a good division of the British market with the Southern States. Garnett's lectures in the North have been much crowded, and thousands are coming into the movement. I cannot say what progress is making in the mediation between Denmark and Holstein; but it seems certain that the meddling protocol of England, France and Russia, is the great obstacle to the progress of that mediation. Denmark is so completely in the hands of the great powers, that she cannot freely act as she would. Still we hope for ultimate success. Friends are beginning to look forward to prepare for our next year's Bazaar with great enthusiasm. There is no doubt that the attendance will be immense. The Bristol friends say they will charter a special league train, and will bring up probably 500 visitors. - Hurrah for the Rail bringing 500 people 120 miles merely to visit a Bazaar and an Exhibition!

And can I choose but wish from you a sympathizing part ? I turn to you to share my joy, — to soothe me in my grief — In wayward sadness from your. smiles, I seek a sweet relief: And shall I keep this burning wish to see the slave set free, Lock'd darkly in my secret heart, unshared and silently? I cannot know that all the chords, which give their magic tone Like Memnon's harp, in music out, 'neath sunshine smiles alone. Are torn by savage hands away from woman's bleeding breast. And with their sweetness on my soul, my feelings keep repress'd! If I had been a friendless thing — if I had never known. How swell the fountains of the heart beneath affection's tone, I might have, careless, seen the leaf torn rudely from its stem, But clinging as I do to you, can I but feel for them ? I could not brook to list the sad sweet music of a bird. Though it were sweeter melody than ever ear hath heard, If cruel hands had quench'd its light, that in the plaintive song. It might the breathing memory of other days prolong. And can I give my lip to taste the life-bought luxuries, wrung From those on whom a darker night of anguish has been flung — Or silently and selfishly enjoy my better lot. While those whom God hath bade me love, are wretched and forgot ? Oh no ! — so blame me not, sweet friends, though I should some- times seem Too much to press upon your ear an oft-repeated theme ; The story of the negro's wrongs hath won me from my rest, — And I must strive to wake for him an interest in your breast !

(Poem) Description An account of the resource No, no, pretty sugar-plums ! stay where you are! Though my grandmother sent you to me from so far ; You look very nice, you would taste very sweet. And I love you right well, yet not one will I eat. For the poor slaves have labour'd, far down in the south, To make you so sweet and so nice for my mouth ; But I want no slaves toiling for me in the sun. Driven on with the whip, till the long day is done. Perhaps some poor slave child, that hoed up the ground. Round the cane in whose rich juice your sweetness was found, Was flogg'd, till his mother cried sadly to see, And I 'm sure I want nobody beaten for me. So grandma, I thank you for being so kind. But your present, to-day, is not much to my mind ; Though I love you so dearly, I choose not to eat Even what you have sent me by slavery made sweet. Thus said little Fanny, and skipp'd off to play. Leaving all her nice sugar-plums just where they lay. As merry as if they had gone in her mouth. And she had not cared for the slaves of the south.
