COLONIZATION SOCIETY OF THE CITY OF New
YoRK.-The seventh Annual report has been sent
us. We perceive that the constitution of this So
cety declares I" that there shall be no slavery in
the colony" in Africa,-and there shall be no
dealing IN szaoes Jy any citizen Of Tie common
aveazh aDithin or beyond The limits ofthe same"
We have been informed that Doctor Goheen
from Monrovia, and now in this country, estifes,
that Governor Finley dealt in slaves or was con-
cerned in the slave trade, up to the time Of his
death. And we called last week upon Doctor
Proudft, the corresponding Secretary. and Doctor
Bangs, one of the Vice Presidents to give us some
light on this affair.
We have not the shadow of doubt, but indi-
viduals in the different colonies have been engag-
3D. directly or indirectly in the slave trade, nor do
we believe that Doctor Proudft or Doctor Bangs
will attempt to deny t.-Zion'S Watc1man.

MURDERS &C., AT THE SoUTH.-The details Of
crime in the shape of murders, duels, ynching
&c., occurring at the South and South West with
which the papers daily TEEN, are disgusting and
heart-sickening in the extreme. If disposed, we
could fill columns of the Herald every week with
such accounts.
We do not understand how it is, that in that
portion of the country, so extensively blessed with
an institution, emphaticaly denominated by a
southern member of Congress, the balance wheel
and cornerstone of our republic and by ministers
of the gospel, as divine institutn we do not
understand how it is, that portion of the country,
ID decidedly as moral and religious as any other
portion beside being blessed, shielded and for,i-
fed by the divine institution should SO abound
in personal rencontres, duels, suicides and muir
ders. One would naturally expect, that exactly
the opposite of these would prevail. Will some
of our editorial brethren at the South explain this
for us.
There murders have become so frequent, not
withstanding some of themare of the most horri-
Bile character, that most persons have ceased Won
dering at them and when they take upa news
paper, to see accounts of them as matter of
Herald.

English AbOlitiOnists,
KIAH BAYLEY.

Rev. Mr., Buckham, of Chelsea, formerly of
England, in recent communication to the Yer.
mont Chronicle gives account of the Congrega-
tionalists of England, so far as relates to their
agency in the abolition of slavery in the British
colonies. Mr.. Buckham says,
The members of the Congregational body are
among the most decided and active of those who
engaged in the long and arduous struggle, which
has issued in the emancipation of the ensaved
I am not aware that knew one Congregational
minister, or one member of a Congregational
church or society, who was not an aboli!ionis
In demanding the immediate and unconditional
liberation of those in bondage, they were,
so far as knew, of one heart and one mind. The
Baptist and Methodist denominations and almost
all the Evangelical party in the church of England
were, believe, equally strenuous aud united lin
requiring that the oppressed should go Free"
The British Anti-Slavery Society in seeking
the accomplishment of the important object which
it had in view did not confne itself to any partic-
ular class of means. Political action was extern
sively employed, and none had recourse to it
more eagerly than the disseners.

DEATH OF Rev. NATHANIEL PAUL.--The decease
of this estimabe and eloquent coored brother, who
was pastor of the Hamilton street Baptist church
in Albany, is announced in the daily papers of
that city. Mr.. Paul was in almost constant COM
partnership with US during our soourn in London,
a few years since and to his active and efficient
cooperation were we greatly indebted for the tri-
umphant success which attended our anti-coloni-
cation mission to England. He was man OF
very good natural abilities, of dignifed carriage,
pleasing address, and persuasive eloquence. HIS
own missien to England, in behalf Of the Wilber-
force settlement in Upper Canada, was not attend
ed with all the success that was anticipated, oW-
ing to many unforeseen circumstances.-He was
among the speakers at the great Exeter Hall meet
ing which was held in London, 1888, in opposi-
ton to the American Colonization Society, and
made capital speech. He was succeeded by the
eloquent OConnell, who Indignantly inquired
|" Am | to be told that my talented and reverend
friend (alluding to Mr.. Paul) who stood where
stand and became the advocate of the rights Of
his own race-the man who would draw the vel
of humanity over the crimes of others-is to be
prosecuted on account of his sable hue ?' Wher
ever Mr.. Paul travelled in Great Blitain, he was
uniformly treated with great respect, and heard
with much applause. We have not had an oppor
unty to take him by the hand since we parted
from him in London, and have been anticipating
a great deal of pleasure in seeing him next week
in Albany But he has gone to the other world
in the midst of his usefulness and the prime o
life. May it be our lot to spend bssful eternity
with him.
Mr.. Paul was a brother of the late Rev. Thorn
as Paul, of this city, whose reputation as an ener
getic and eloquent preacher of the gospel filled the
country.-Liberator.

ECCLESIASTICAL AUTHORITY Mountaineering
upon the refusal of the last New Schoo) General
Assembly of the Presby terian Church to pro-
nounce slaveholding a sin, Mr.. Gerrt Smith
we'll observes
"What right have they to present themselves
as ethical instructors and spiritual advisers who
have not the discernment to see, nor the honesty
to say that slavery is SIM Common sense re.
volts at the attachment of authority or the mani
festation of respect TO any of the opinions of an
ecclesiastical assembly, that refuses to pronounce
as sinful the system which forbids marriage and
the reading of the Bible, and that markets men,
women and children as beasts. Whether the re-
fusal proceeds from ignorance or dishonesty it
equally argues the unftness of those who are gull
ty of it, to be our religious teachers"

To The Editor Of the Vermont Chronicle Il
notice, in your last paper a communication, near
four columns in length signed anonymously and
addressed to Congregational minister, in which
find the following question:
els it ever the duty of the minister of the Cos
pei and pastor of the church, to attempt to alter
modify or control the civil relations of society, or
to direct the political movements and changes o.
the same, by any other means than preaching OF
the gospel and the extension of the leaven of the
truth in the hearts of its individa members 2"
This question is the gist of the whole four COL
umns The rest is mere verbiage thrown around
it. Now by publishing the question, and so
much with it that was nlanifestly designed to give
it point and power, accompanied by no disclaimer,
you have at least placed yourself in dubious po-
siton, on a single point touching which do not
recollect having learnt your views. Will you
therefore favor me with an answer to the following
question?
DO you vieao ii TO be the duty of the protessed
minister of the gospel to vote at tile ballot 6o1es?-

AN APT lLLUsTRATIoN.--ln little essay |
the Rev. e. Peabody, Of New Bedford, on 4
subject of "Mystery, Reason, and Faith,"v
find the following beautiful and apt illustr
ton:
Night comes over a ship at sea, and passe
ger fingers hour after hour alone on deck.
The waters plunge and welter and glide avn
beneath the keel. Above, the sails tower
in the darkness, almost to the sky, and the
shadow falls as it were burden on the de
below. In the clouded night no star is to
seen, as the ship changes her course, the ps
senger knows not which way is east or west
north or south. What islands, what sunk
rocks may be on her course-or what III
course is, or where they are, he knows not,
All around him is Mystery He bows down
the submission of utter ignorance.
But men OF science have read the laws
the sky. And the next day this passenger
held the captain looking at clock, and TAXI
note Of the place Of the sun, and, with the
of couple. Of books composed Of rules
mathematical tables, making calculations.
And when he has completed them, he is able
point almost within hands breadth to I
place at which. after unnumbered winnings,
has arrived in the midst Of the seas. Stor
may have beat and currents drifted, but
knows where they are; and the precise poi
where, hundred leagues over the water, !
his native shore. Here is Reason appreciate
and making use Of the revelations (if We m
so call them) Of science.
Night again shuts down over the waste
the waves, and the passenger beholds sin
seaman stand at the wheel, and watch hour
ter hour, as it vibrates beneath lamp, a Ii
needle, which points ever, as il we're livi
finger, TO steady the pole.
This man knows nothing Of the rules
navigation, nothing Of the course of the 8
But reason and experience have give him ia \
in the commanding officer Of the ship, faitt
the laws that control her course-faith in
unerring integrity OF the little guide beC
him. And so, without a single doubt, he ste
his ship on, according to the prescribed ding
ton, through night and the waves. And
faith is not disappointed. With the morn

The following document is the proclamation
cd;
Whereas, through the mercy Of our heaven
ly Father, we again behold the fuIfment o.
the promise, that while the earth remainetf
seed time and harvest shall not cease-l do
with the advice and consent Of the Council
and agreoably to established usage, appoint
Thursday, the twenty-eight day of November
next, to be observed throughout the State as a
day Of public thanksgiving and praise to the
gracious Being who has preserved our lives for
another year, and crowned them with so many
blessings.
Let our deepest gratitude be awakened, while
we behold, in every direction, the fruits OF the
earth mature at her appointed season, laid up
in ample store, as the food Of man. Let us
reflect that the annual harvest is the result OF
the harmonious workings of the great system
of the meterial creation. When we consider
that all the power aud properties OF the ma
turaI elements, of the earth and the air, of the
winds aud the Clouds and the latent principles
which govern their motions, of revolving plan
cts, and of the warming and enlightening sun,
must combine, in order to the ripening Of a
single grain OF corn, let our thoughts arise
from these second causes, to the Great First
Cause, on whom they depend, and who, from
the opening heavens, sends down the daily food
of the family Of man, as in great sheet knit
at the four corners Of tho universe and let down
to the earth.
