The States: New York

The Liberty friends proraise us frorn 15,000 to 20,000 votes in thisgreat State. This is a proportion much smaller accoröing to the population than that given in some other States, but we fear is more tban will be realized. We shall soon learn the result. The State Society is making vigorous eíForts. Seven agents of late have been constantly in the field, lecturing and distributing tracts. Gerrit Smith is following up with energy and wisdom his favorite plan for the conversión of Madison county to Liberty principies. Forty-three meetings are notified to be held in this county the first week iiv November, tobe addressed byseven lecturers. The Liberty men intend to carry íhe county this fall if possible, and if not, then next year. Nor is the importance of this movement overrated. The fact that a single county, in the heart of the Empire State, had become permanently and completely abolitionized by fair and honorable means, would strike terror into the bosoms of the Southern slavebreeders, and fill their Northern allies of both parties with oininous forebodings. What an encouragement it would be to Liberty men! How many counties in each State would be ready to spring forvvard to place themselves by the side of Madison, when the way had once been opened! It is not too much to say that the regeneration of this County would be feit -powerfully in every State in the Union. It would greatly increase the faith of Liberty men in the use of means. -The same means which wil] convert 3,000 pro-slavery voters of Madison County into Liberty men, in like circumstances will be equally efficacious in Michigan or any other State. We can scarcely expect they will succeed this year, but we trust there will be no relaxation of effort, until the renovation of Madison shall ring in the ear of every slavehólder, and every Northern dough-face. Alvan Stewart and others have been indefatigable in holding two days meeting in all directions. Among Mr. Stewart's labors at Herkimer, the Journal, of that place, an able Whig paper, gives the following account of his Sabbath address. It would seem to be very much like preaching frora the Bible. Will the Puritan copy the paragraph, and teil us whether it is Sabbathbreaking to give such a lecture? "The aim and tendency of Mr. Stewart's remarks was to show that the original Revelation of the Divine Will to man grew mainly out of God's abhommee of the crime of slavery. For this parpose he entered into a minute and detailed account of thdearly history, civilizationnd far-spread influence of the Egyptians then passing to the wonderful snccession of events by which two and a half millions of Hebrews came to be enslaved in that country - the multiplied ancfappaling judgments that befel the guilty oppressors - the final glorious emanci pation ofuieir siaves - ana tne suösequent prorftuigation of the law from Sinai, every line of which, traced by the finger of God, stamps, the crime of slavery with His unqualified abhorrence and condemnation. In Mr. Stewart's description of the slaying of the first born, the turning of the Nile to blood, &c, these were passages of deep and affecting pathos, and of surpassing beauty. The sublime morai of the whole relation - being the signal vengeance of Heaven against oppression - was clearly evolved and strikinely exhibitcd." f The people of Herkimer were so far interested that sixty or seventy of them applied to him to give another discourse, which he promised to do on some subsequent Sabbath. The Journal says: - "The most rigid Sabbatarians will find nothing in Mr. Stewart's meetings tocondemn, unless they are resolutely opposed evento doing good" on the Sabbath day.
