G3NOTICE.-A regular weekly
meeting of the Providence Anti-Sla-
very Society will be held in Union
Hall, on Wednesday evening, the 9Th
inst. at five o'clock. The discussion Of
the following resolution will be contin.
ued:
Resolved, That ii is the sense Of
this Society, that any Blshop, Minister,
Fr1eSt, Rector or deacon, who neglects
his duty in declaring from the pulpit the
whole truth, and especially that ,ohich
condemns The slaue holder, is recreant
to the high responsibilities he has assn.
med. and deserves the most solemn adj.
n'o"atlon and righteous rebuke from al
trends to true religion.
The public are invited to attend.
HENRY T. CORNET, Rec, Sec.v
90 when the learned theologians
shall have finished their discussion we
shall have it authoritativolv announced
who are and who are not lit to be min
isters of "true religion" we have LITTLE
doubt but that they will unfrock every
minister south of Mason and Dixon;s
line, and give them over to the cIoven-
footed individual beneath ground. Ii
IS, perhaps, one of this wise council
who, as we learn from the Ellsworth
Journal, held forth shortltime AGO =

PECULAT1oN.-Gen. Jackson, IN his
last message, asserts that the various
Executive officers had managed their
respective departments with ability
and ntegrity.-TO set this declaration
at rest, we need only state that Wiley
p. Harris, the Receiver at Columbus
va this STATE, has speculated upon gov
eminent funds to a large amount, and
is now defaulter to the amount OF ma
ny thousands ofdoIIars. The precise
amount we do not know, but from the
MarshalPs advertisement, we Judge 1t
to be large. The amount should be
known, to let the people know that
Jackson did not always speak correct
", and that his officers, as was often
charged, were extensively engaged in
land speculatiOns, and that too, not with
their own, but the government money.
Time will show the people the extent
of their betrayal.-Liberty Advocate.

A jackson Prediction.

Ere the passage of the gold humbug
bill, the Globe issued the following a.
farming prediction, which was echoed
by the collar presses through the land:
''ln seven months from this time
bank rags will be abolished, and the
whole country will be overspread with
gold. Every farmer and merchant Of
the west will have a long silk purse of
open net work, through the intergti-
ces ofwhich the yellow gold will shine
and glitter"

The insoIence of men clothed in a
little brief authority, was never more
strikingly illustrated than in the case OF
Amos Kendall. He not only refused
to pay the balance due to some OF the
contractors of the Department, but IN
the case Of Stockton & Stokes, selZed
upor The money due them by the De-
partment, which he placed to account
ofsums which he alleged had been llle-
gally paid them by his predecessor.
After appealing in vain to the Depart
ment, Stockton and Stokes carried
their case before Congress, who passed
law referring the matter in dispute %
the Solicitor of the Treasury whose a.
ward in their favor directed Kendall
to pay over the balance. Kendall re-
fused. The matter was referred to
the Attorney General, Mr.. Butler,
who sustained the award. Kendall
still refused. Messrs. Stockton d
Stokes then carried the matter before
the President, who referred it TO the
Senate, who referred it to the Com
mittee on the Judiciary, who were I'M
animously of opinion that Kendall
should pay the money, which opinion
was unanimously approved by the Sen,
ate. Kendall still refused to pay
And now, when S:octon and Stokes ap-
peaIedto the Judiciary, as their last re-
sort, their only means of cOercing Ken
dali to execute a positive act of Con
gress, he refused to recognise the pow
er of the Court to examine into his con
duct, or to coerce the fulflment of his
duty. We will endeavor to obtain the
documents in this case, for the purpose
Of submitting them to our readers"

The result of this important decis-

Reserve is virtually cut off from the
Presbyterian Church, as hitherto OF
ganized, and are IN point of fact, out of
the House. As may be expected, the
proceedings of the day excited intense
interest.
In the afternoon, motion was made
by the Reverend Mr.. Breckenridge, to
the effect that the Home Missionary

from the Presbyterian, Church. 1t is
