THE VOICE OFFRE EDOM.

Ily have a common Christianity, and common
views of practical Christianity, but they have 6
more enlightened Christianity than any other ma
tons in the world while at the same time they
have an enlightened liberaty to apply that Chris
tianity. / am sorry, as an American when
mention the word liberty, that must make some
exceptions in relation to my own nation. (Hear

colleague DR. Patton) has expressed my feelings

know it is said all over the world, that the me-
groes cannot be free and exist. Why, they are
not only free, but your Report tells us that in the
West Indies they are helping to snap the chain
that holds the world in thraldom. We have not
been inattentive to the movements connected with
British emancipation. A few years since, soci-
ETY. 10 which belong sent out two commissioner
young men of high standing and noble feelings
to investigate your emancipation, to see how it
works. And let me give you the testmon of one
of the first men in our countryside Governor of
the state of MISUNDERSTANDING had previously OPP

his hands-I mean the Journal of Messrs. Thome
and Kimbal and he said, when he returned it,
" This experiment seals the doom of slavery
throughout the world" cloud cheers.) And in
my opinion, said DR.. Beman, it will be produce

Observation-Disclosures may have been its un
uterable wickedness in the West India Islands
there it neUer was baptized with the Redeemer'
hallowed name, and its corupnons were not con
cealed in the garb of religion. That achme
fpiratica turpitude was reserved for the proes
sed disciples of Jesus in America, - Londot &c
lectac Review.
"The article from which the above is taken
on whichever side of the Atlantic it may have
been written-has other statements of the like
character. e. untrue and sIanderous. Never
in this country has there been such an instance
of slaveholding in the garb of religion as that OF
the Codrington estates in Barbados, held by the
(London) Society for the Propagation of the Cos
pei in Foreign Parts, Never in this country was
there any slaveholding that came near the Ecec-
tics description. Verm. Chron.
We find this copied conspicuously in the Colo
nizaon Herald the organ of the Pennsy lvania
Expariation company, Z, CFesson & Co. OF
course, we have no disposition to volunteer de-
fence of the London Society. But we shall be
obliged if Mr.. Tracy will tell US wherein the God
rington estates" affair differs in atrocity from the
case of the Presbyterian church at Prince Ed
ward, Va. and many other churches which hold
slaves by devise, and support their pastors out of
the hire and the imcreaSe.-Emancipator
A NEGRO CATCHER of the name of Hugg or
Hog, accompanied by some companions, as de-
graded as himself, went few nights ago to the
cabin of of two colored Americans at Repanpa, sus-
peced of having run away from the peculiar
institutions of the South, and colonized themselves
with their own consent in the free State (?) Of
New Jersey. Hugg entered the cabin and seiz-
ed one of the colored men, but his brave compan-
ions were afraid to come near for fear the negroes
would shoot them, and the colored man not liking
such Hugg, left him to find his way back to
Camden without them.
Nothing dauuted, this ferocious Hugg procured
a batteau, gill nett &C., and proceeded down
the river in the guise of fisherman, and thus sue
ceeded in catching one of those innocent men, and
has lodged him in Camden Jail; it is expected he
will be tried before Judge Rossel, United States
District Judge.
We are quite tired of having our territory in
vaded by these myrmidons of the South, and hope
the time will come when the genius of liberty,
planting her foot on Mason and Dxon's line,
will say to those savage hunters of men, "thus
far shall we go, but no further"-when slaves can
no longer breathe in the free States-the momen,
their lungs receive our air that moment they shall
be free and their shackles fall.-Pennszrauia
Freeman.
70 We have just learned that writ of habeas
corpus has been issued by Judge Ford, and that in
fair trial will be secured to this VIC
tim of Northern cupidity.-ED. Freeman.

Size of our Globe.

1t is not so easy as we imagine to be certain o
the earth's size. There is indeed but one longi

both begin at the equator, The one extends to-
wards the north, and the other towards the south
as far as the poles, either arctic or antarctic. Blu
no has yet been able go as far as either pole
But we know nearly the size of our globe, which
according to the best calculations has surface o.
9,20OOS0 leagues. The water occupying two
thirds of that space so that what remains for ter.
ra frma is reduced to 100000 square leagues.
1t is calculated that here may be at least three
thousand millions of men on the earth but in re.

In Asia 650,0O0,000

In Europe 130O00000
If then we suppose the earth is inhabited by one
thousand millions of men, or Whereabouts, and that

space of time there die one thousand millions.

ence of Churches was held at Burke, on the 18th

ted with the Conference were represented except
Barnet. The session of conference was opened

The afternoon Of the first day was occupied in
addresses and remarks highly interesting. by Rev.
Messrs Scales, Clayes, Stone, Dea. Fairbanks, and
others, the present alarming Dissertation of the
Sabbath in our land. In connection with these,
the following resolutions were adopted.
l. Resolced, that this Conference regard with
alarm the general dissertation ofthe sabbath in our
land, as threatning the subversion of our religious
institutions and provoking the righteous retribu-
ton Of Heaven.
2. Resolved, that it be affectonately recommen-
ded to the Churches composing this Conference to
inquire into the conduct and practice of their men,
bers as it respects the observance of the Sabbath,
and to adopt such means, consistent with the rules
of the gospel, as shall remove the sin of Sabbath
breaking from our churches.
3. Resolved, that in the judgment Of this Con-
ference unnecessary absence from the worship of
Gods house, and the practice of visiting on Gods
holy day ought to be regarded and treated by our
churches as violations of the Sabbath.
4. Resolved, that it is the solemn conviction of
this Conference, that it is the duty Of every mem
Der of the Church. to unite with Bible Class or
Sabbath School, who has the opportunity of so
doing for the encouragement of the children and
others, and as direct and powerful means of pre-
venting the sin of Sabbath dissertation.
1t was recommended to the ministers in the
County to preach to their people, as soon as conve-
