A good Methodist man in Ohio was
lately tried according TO the discipline Of

law a9aIast assisting fugitive slaves. He

PREcEPT AND EXAMPLE. Mr.. James

d ueed OF mandmsSIon to twenty slaves.
which descended to him from his father,
recently deceased.

slavery Society. His means, as we un-
0'FSI'"d are circutnscribed.-bu the
PfI"Hip'eS he Incu.c ,tes upon others nor

cunnry condition by departure from
Them. Accordingly Y. for the second time,
M, Brney has nanumitted slaves that

\ ork Courier and Enq1irer, a paper
most z 'alousiv devoted to the cause of
southern slavery, and to the defence of
Shareholders. We learn, in addition 10
what Is there stated, that it was at the ex-
press r'ques; OF James G. Brnev, that the
slaves were Set of to him, as his no.tjon
OF his fathers estate, a fact which almost
UNNECESSARILY adds to the moral grandeur ,
OF the act How many are there, in these ,
d tys Of sordi seIGshness, who would not
have let some other o.lhe heirs take the ,
Siaves, and thus save their properly and
quiet their consciences But such is MOI :
The morality Of james G. Brney, man !
