Who. coming in the door
That insta'ni. bowed, whonever louwed
Unto his God before.
As looks the Lion on the Laib:
As joy in grief:-so they,
The rather, child and mother looked
On that eventful day.
Pleased with such looks and words,
Not tretmblingand with shame
But with the bound of a downless Eaws

And shall I have a frock to wear ?
And shoes upon my feet?
And hai,like other girl.,, and.bread

They told us when ye'd pign'd the pledge,
That hetUer days wouild ctime:

and slaves were rescued by a wreckiog
vessel and carried into the harbor of Nas
sau, where 'the scame to anchor. She was
hoarded by British soldier, the slaves qt
ken' on shore, and after Soena official foms
they "ere iberated. .Mr. Templeman, the
owner or the slaves, had isiured them in
two offices in New Orleans. against the
risk ofcapture or seizure by the British

and hoped the Coatmitteo'woukl besty
on it their mist serinns attention. le con
sidered it high time that this question was
sedttled aud that the. South should knew
what they had to. depond upon. He in
stanced the case of the Creole, a full re
port of which had been transmitted to him
with the statements of the witnesses ved
ficd uudcr oath, and chatracter ised it as one
of the aost wanton andl atrocious sets ev
er perpetrated by a civilized nation. Wateir
the Creole arrived in the pori or Nassau,
in the possession of the mutineers, she was
boarded by a Nritish officer, who, after be
had heard from the negroes their tale of
outrnge ani murler, was heard to say "you
were fiol%; you Abould have killed all the
whites, and then there would have been
no evidence agsinst you." Mr. C. said
this was a clear case of piracy, and our
Government should demand the perpetra
tors and punish them. Mr. King and Mr.
Rives alto expressed thenaselves in very
dccided terms, ninre especially in reference
to hei'Ject which these outrages would
have in pioliuein a rupiure with Great

the property of the South was to be held
ut the discretion oft he petty officials of the
liritish Government, they would in selfde
-tice have t) fit out armaments, and di
soriy Nassau, and the other nests of incen
dincs adjacent to our coast. The Reso
