It is even so :and this little Toliime is presented to the public in the full confidence that it will be read and appreciated, when the circumstances of its origin are known. I ts merits as a literary production, we leave to be decided upon by the kind judgment of the American people. We do not claim that the poetry is of the highest order :but we do claim that it would be creditable to authors of greater pretensions than the humble colored man, who hath wrought it out amid the daily and incessant toil necessary for the maintenance of a family, who 3xe dependent upon the labor of his hands for support. There is in it the fire of a genius which, under more favored circumstances, would have soared high, aud obtained no mean place in the worlds estimation. There is the voice of true poesy speaking in it, which, though in the rough it may be, and wanting the polish which education and refined opportunity give, yet nature outgusheth in harmonious numbers, and her bard, all untutored as he is, singeth sweetly, and giveth forth the conceptions of his soul in words that breathe and thoughts that buin.
