missionary school was broken up by one or two
large Shareholders buying up the farms of num-
Der OF poor families in the neighborhood of Pine
Ridge station. Where once was heard the hum
OF the missionary school, is now heard the crack
of the whip and the cry of the slave, The In
dams have strictly forbidden mssonasies to teach
their slaves. They have passed strict laws on
the subject, initiating southern legislation. One
OF their laws says they shall neither be taught to
read, write, or even sing. Br. Williams says that
missionary operations among the Choctaws are
almost ruined by the baleful influence of slavery.
Rev. Mr. Kingsbury, stationed at Pine Ridge,
wrote to him few months since, bewailing the
lamentable state of things occasioned by slavery.
1t would not be surprising, indeed, if they should
be compelled to cease their operations there. The
above facts are stated on the authority of Loring
S. Williams, who for nearly twenty years was a
faithful missionary of the A. B. G. F. M. and
who has received an honorable discharge, and
is now preaching at Carlinville, Illinois. When
will the church awake to the necessity of putting
away this great sin F!
Yours truly, w. T. ALLAN.
The writer of the above, Rev. William r. AL
Ian, is native of Alabama and the son of a
slaveholding clergyman. He is man of much
WORTH and the statements which he makes, on
the authority of another excellent minister, Rev.
L. S. Williams, ought to claim the attention of
those who manage our missions. They will
awaken inquiry with those who support missions
by their gifts. The light of truth will shine on
all these transactions and an attempt at conceal
ment or mystery will only increase distrust.

of nv countrvmen who are robbed and spoiled, -
and had solemnly resolved before the Lord that
would never rest nor cease to fast and pray. until
l could feel in some good degree for these mil
lions of chattezed human beings, in the bosom Of

solemn declaration; when my worthy, esteemed

indictments upon the great subject of American

painful.

this law: confessed my sin-threw in my plea
for mercy, and promised reformation; when my
dear brother brought the opposite charge of fanat-

recent public exhibition of the wrongs and claims
ofmy enslaved brethren, had suffered myself to

sanctury and found wanting: while the opposite
charge of my brother was, that in illustrating and
enforcing this doctrine of Bible religion, | left
Christ wholly out of the system and in fact preach
ed another Gospel, or that there was way to go
to Heaven independent of Christ.
Several other charges of the same nature, and
having their origin in the same discourse, were
brought against me by this dear brother, and all
in such tone of confident assurance of the cor

grief he felt in view of the bad influence of my doc

they were presented-that am constrained to
give them thorough and candid investigation,
and ask the friends of humanity point out some
course for an agent to pursue that will receive the
appreciation of Heaven, do justice to the bleeding
victim Of oppression, and at the same time avoid

attempt to 6lOc mp tile Anti Slacery Depository.
Last evening, about eight o'clock, heavy tor
pedo was placed on the steps in front of the Anti
Slavery Depository, in Asylum street, by some
villain, and fred off. The explosion was very
heavy, shattering the windows, and blowing the
door to the back end of the store, near where two
gentlemen were sitting, who fortunately escaped
unnured. The windows in the dwellings on the
opposite side of the street were slightly injured
also those in. the house adjoining the Reposito-
ry. A lad passed the door, we understand, half
a moment before the explosion, and was told by a
fellow standing by, that he had better get out Of
the way, or he would be hurt the explosion
quickly followed. This fellow was Immediately
after recognized by the boy, whereupon he was
arrested as the perperator of the outrage, and
committed to the watch-house his name is Clark,
and if he is the person who has thus jeopardised
the property and lives of our citizens, hope he
will receive most severe punishment
The lad deserves the thanks of the community,
for his prompt action in Identifying the scoundrel
and we trust that the authorities of Hartford will
be no less prompt in Furnishing the fellow who at
tempted the mischief

HONOR TO WHOM HoNoR.-People may wish to know
the enlightened and high minded patriot to whom,
more than any other single man, Ohio is indebted
for that monument of her justice, humanity, and
exalted self respective mean the black bill.
The following extract from the Ohio Repository
will show
''The bill was reported by the judiciary Commit
tee to whom the subject had been referred, on the
memorial from Kentucky, and the whole manage
ment of the bill in the house was by that committee
confded to Mr.. ANDREWS, of Franklin. Every
objection raised to the bill was met by him as
a profound constitutional LAWYER and able states
man always meets similar objections, not by low,
cunning management but on the great principles
contained in the constitution of the United States
and the broad and liberal policy we should always
pursue in relation to our sister states Indeed, the
effort of Mr. Andrews in bringing forward and
sustaining this bill, has seldom ever, been equal
led in Ohio am certain Mr. Webster or Mr.
Clay could not in similar case, have surpassed
him. Franklin may indeed be proud of her
Representatives"
The time will come, when this young aspirant
after notoriety, who now glories in wearing the
livery of his slavehoding masters, will curse the
day that saw him prostitute his youthful powers to
the support of law, which has already subjected
Ohio to the contempt of the Shareholder and the
adherence of every man of ordinary humanity.

REPUBLICAN EQUALITY IN THE SourH-Mr.

"Demagogues in religion and politics are a
more respectable and ihuential class in the South
than In the North. They are the sovereigns of
the sovereign people. A Southern politician die

ing created them, he very agreably represents them.
Thus Mr.. Calhoun havingnullifed South Caaolina,
admirably represents it, The great preachers fol-
