A False Issue.

In a lecture delivered in Middlebury not long
since, COL Miller anmadverted with some severi-
ty upon the conduct of slaveholding professors OF
religion, who not unfrequently in their contribu-
tons to benevolent societies. may be said to pre-
sent "ro66ery for oferimg." For the purpose of
illustration, case was supposed, the American
Board being one party, and slaveholding Vir-
ginia deacon the other A correspondent of the
Chronicle nterprets the Colonels remarks as a
deliberate attack upon the missionary cause-a
thrust at the American Board. The simple ques-
ton is on, what terms our benevolent societies
should receive contributions from robbers. We
think this matter has been very ably and satisfac-
torily discussed by Gerrit Smith in his letter to
John Tappan-a document which we would
commend to the notice Of all who have any doubts
as to the proper line of conduct of the American
Board and other societies whose treasures are, in
part supplied by the traffic in the bodies and souls
of the brethren of Jesus Christ We intend to
publish Mr. Smiths excellent letter as soon as we
can obtain a copy.

slaveholding domination forever.
We are further grati6ed at the prospect Of hav-
ing the political game of the South played out in
the open view of the North; because it will show
the true reason for the support which the South so
unanimously accord to Mr., Van Buren,. 1t is not
because they approve his measures, or love his
principles, but solely because he is willing to be
the tool of slavery And they would drop him,
tomorrow, and take up with Henry Clay, should
they find that they were more in need of a cham
pion than tool.
And, lastly, we are glad to have paper that
will take up pro-slavery avowedly, and support it
with argument. We, therefore, hereby request
Messrs. Robert E. Hudson & Co. to send their pa
per to l43 Nassau street. and receive the Enamel.

IS Courts Martial,1

We are panied to learn that the so-called courts
martial recently held in this town and in Worces-
ter have been characterized by highly reprehen-
sible proceedings on the part of persons summon
ed as delinquents. Intoxicating drinks, it seems,
are to be thrust into court in the place of good
manners. If there is either authority or selfres-
pect remaining with the court we hope it will yet
be made to appear; if not, let it be understood
that the law has lost its supremacy.

The Last spasm of--AboIition ?

1t is long now, since the New York an:l-aboll-
ton papers assured their southern patrons that alb.
clifton was going to put forth its last, its mortal
spasm. The shareholders have waited quite pa
tiently for the realization of this prophecy but
hope deferred makes them heart-sick, and they be-
gin to feel necessity for some new expedient.
In fact, it appears they have often been deceiv-
ed by the venality of our commercial press, that
they have resolved to cast off the whole pack
The following paragraph, now going the rounds oil
the papers, will show what is going on:
"A daily paper of the size of the Courier and
Enquirer, land at the same price, called the Uni
ted States Sentinel and National Unon,'' will be
published early next month, by Messrs. E. Hud-
son & Co, of New York. 1t will advocate the
political doctrines of the present administration
and will go strongly against anti-slavery and abo-
lition principles, in every shape. A large amount
of money has already been subscribed to sustain
John c. Calhoun being among lis chief sup
porters he alone having put down his name for
five thousand dollars. '-BoSton Transcript.
That this is not mere tale, is proved by the
following Prospectus, which we have put up in a
conspicuous place in the Anti-Slavery office, and
which we find also copied in leading Democratic
paper the New Hampshire Gazette.
