Mr.. TRAoY-From the perusal of the enclosed
letters, you will perceive that their original design
was that of publication. After receiving the letter
from DR.. Lord, hesitated about the proprlety
of publishing them, as it appears to me very
questionable whether the interests OF the
churches would be thus at all promoted. 1t was
in confidence of a different answer, and such as |
supposed a sober and consderate abolitionis might
give that first formed the design that these let
ters exhibit The end | had in view, and the quiz
citing and restraining influence which sought for,
will not be attained by the publication of the pres
ent communication. But on the other hand,
have hestaed to assume the office of censor for
while the author of the letter must bear the respon
sibility, he also must judge of that which will be
safe and useful for men at the present time.
would not seem to withhold publication because
different from my sentiments, when, had it been
agreeable to them should have regarded its DIFF
fusion proper and useful. z. B.

AMERICAN SLAVERY AS 1T IS-TESTI-
MONY OF A THOUSAND WITNESSES.

This book has come to hand at last And the
reason it did not reach us sooner shows the avid
ity with which it is sought, and something of the
effect it is designed to produce. Several ndivid-
ais living in different directions, undertook to
bring copies here, but did not succeed, as there
was such an anxiety to read the book that they
could not retain single copy. Though publish
ed two months ago, it was not until within the
last week that copy came TO this place, We
thought we were prepared by the extracts we had
seen, and the accounts given of by the press, to
appreciate the work But we were never more
mistaken. No extract, unless the whole be ex,
tracted, can convey an adequate idea of it. No
description can do justice to it. We had suppos-
ed it was mere record of facts and cruelties, cal
cuated to reach the sensbilities of those who
have never embraced the cause of the slave, as q
matter of principlc-that it would answer the oft
repeated question, care such crueties practiced
upon the slaves, as the aboltonists represent"
And that it would waken into life those who
would rest quite easy over the other wrongs of
the slave, provided he was tolerablY fed and CLOTH
ed, and not Too severely whipped. And it is a
book Of facts and will reach that class of minds.
If ever the scnseess inquiry is again made, the
inquirer should have copy of the work put into
his hands. But it is also book of principles, as
well as facts. 1t is from the pen of Theodore D.
Weld, and it could not be otherwise than a book
of principles. 1t does indeed show the cruel treat
ment the slaves receive and the barbarous con-
duct Of their masters, But it shows also what
we have always maintained, the nseperable con-
necton between these abuses and the slave sys-
tenn itself 1t shows the radical principles of the
system, its necessary evils. As book of facts,
then, in connectiQ. with its principles, we think II
invaluable. - Ote31I5nS 'Eran

From the Philanthropist.
Assemblies, Conferences, Conventions.


We said, two numbers since, that among the
most formidable enemies Of the slave, must be reck
oned at present, the General Assemblies General
Conferences and General Conventions of Christian
churches" We meant all we said.
These bodies it is understood, represent the
best piety and intelligence of the several churches.
The General Conference of the Methodsts par
ticularly, is composed exclusively of preachers,
who are presumed in general to have "a more Just
appreciation of christian truth, and to feel deep
er interest in its success, than the laity.
Their great object is, the preservation and ex-
tension of sound doctrine and pure morals; all
moral and religious subjects come legitimatey un-
der their notice Whenever a heresy starts up,
that threatens the integrity of the church, it is
their business to sound the alarm, and testify
against it. Whenever particular sin, lifting its
head above the rest, endangers the purity of the
church, they feel it to be their duty to point it out
to special reprobation and show its utter hostil-
ity to right principle, In a word, they are call
ed upon to guard the health and purity of the
church, set their faces against all error and sin
and especially to act not only against those here
sizes or sins which, under the circumstances, threat
en- the most serious encroachments on the king
dom of Christ; but also IN tacor of those institu-
tons orprqctces, which from existing causes, may

when slavery had not done its perfect work on the

FOURTH OF JULY, 1889.
At Cazonovia Madison County, N. Y.
AN ABOLITION CELEBRATION.

The fourth of July was celebrated in the after
noon of that day in the noble spirit of the fathers,
sixty-three years before. Since the settlement of
Madison county this day has not been more truly
honored and kept up 10 its ancient spirit, than by
the polished and intelligent citizens of Cazenovia
and adjacent towns. 1t was a genuine celebra-
ton. No cannon to burst, no rifles cracking in
Cur ears, or muskets bursting over our heads, or
crackers under our feet. The meeting was held
at 9 P, NJ, in the large Methodist church.
The Rev. Mr.. Knapp, having dismissed his pro-
tracted meeting, opened our celebration with APP
propriate prayer. Alvan Stewart, ESQ, of Utica
then spoke one hour and forty minutes on the
great principles involved in the declaration of in
dependence, and also on the great question of po-
ltical economy connected with slavery, demon
strating the proposition, that, if the slaves of the
south are worth 1000 millions, they as freemen|
would be worth 1000 millions, because they would
produce double as freemen what they do now, asI
slaves That slavery being abolished, the white
men of the south would find it no longer dlShon-
orabIe to work, and the white men would perform
as much labor as the slaves do now, making the
white men worth to the republic 1000 millions
more than they are now, which added to the 5000
millions for the value of the emancipated colored
men, would make 5000 millions, or the trebling

the value Of the south, by the abolition Of slavery.
Then, said Mr.. Stewart it would nearly double
the value Of the north, by stimulating double, yea,
treble the amount Of northern manufacturing cap
a into existence, and operators olal sorts, whose
business it would be to supply the new consumers
of the south. Every freed colored family would
become fresh and interesting customeP to the
northern manufacturer. This operation would
benefit the north immensely; and where she, the
north, manufacturers so millions for the south,
she would then make $50 millions for the south,
and the north acould Men get their PAY for their
work, as the south would produce three times as
much as she does now.
Mr. Stewart calculated this would add 1000
millions to the north by adding 25 per cent. to
cry northern acre of land cultivated Or uncultva-
ted; which 1000 millions added as gained by the
north to The 5000 millions gained by the SOUTH or
5000 millions would be the gain made by the ma
ton.
So if the nation paid 1000 millions tomorrow
to abolish slavery mot because the Shareholders
are entitled to any hing) but as a matter of polit-
ical economy, the nation would make 1000 of dol
lars, or double the real value of the nation.
Mr. Stewart struck, in his usual manner at ma,
ny other strong points in support of his positions.
After Mr.. S. finished, Mr.. Gerrit Smith adj
