Rev. Zenas Bliss" is Justly and noby rebuked
in the renlv of President Lord. The Presidents
letter is calm, vet fearless and uncompromising ;
such as might have been expected from the char
acter of the writer. Presiding as ne does over
one of the oldest and most fourishing OF our New
ENGLAND colleges, his letter becomes doubly i'm
portant, and should be attentyely read but most
especially by those who will not dare to do So
The digniied stand which he takes on the subject
of slavery and the rights of free discussion, con-
trasts very strikingly with the course of President
Wayland of Brown University, trimming his sails
to the popular breeze and making petty territorial
districts the limits of human responsibility We
need more men of such independence at the head
of our literary institutions. There is the ground
for profitable labor. In such situations men may
exert powerful influence for good This has
been peculiarly the case at Dartmouth college.
She sends out noble phalanx of young abolition
lists. We knoV their zeal and their intrepid advo-
cacy of the slaves cause. We have met them at
conventions and Anti-Savery meetings, where
they have been found foremost among the faith
full The present able and eloquent agent of
the Young Mems State Anti-Savery Society, in
New Hampshire, is a member of old Dartmouth.
He throws down his books for season and goes
FORTH valiantly to fight the battles of emancipa-
ton. We have headed these remarks Light in
dark place." From the recent Indications of dark
ness in New Hampshire, we felt justified in doing
So But we rejoice that the gloom is not univer-
sal, Although Egyptian darkness may enshroud
her Legislative Capitol, we trust her ancient Hall
of learning will never suffer her glory to grow
dim. We would rather follow the clear-sighted
school boy as our guide, on the great question Of
emanc patton, than trust even those hoary politi-
clans, who are determined, as Pitt once said to
be ignorant in spite of experience"
The pro-savery Legislators of New Hampshire
have been endeavorng to pass an act "depriving
all students in colleges and academies in that state
of the elective franchise" They did not succeed
last year. Whether they did at their late session,
we cannot tell This is no doubt to wreak their
petty vengeance on the students at Hanover, for
manly, earnest and independent defence of liberty
and their faithful reprobaton of savites and mob
ocrats. We happen to know enough CT the poll
tics Of that state, to understand how the young
despots and demagogues finger the party wires.
But they will never terrify or awe into Submission

he did not choose to give while in this land of
slavery; but readily named persons, in whose SER
vice he has been employed For thirteen years
he has been seeking an opportunity to escape from
he escaped for his ife and we hope that he will
soon be where the slave laws of our Republic can
not reach him.
will communicate few things which he sta
ted to show what blessing slavery is He sta
ted that he believed he had known more than 20
persons that had died under the lash, or in conse-
quence of their extreme whipping-some in day
or two others in few weeks or months That
the kind-hearted masters had teakel, by which
they would hoist up the object of their fury until
they stood on their toes, thus stretching their
limbs and skin, then apply the cow-hide, and with
few strokes lacerate their backs and cause the
blood TO pour forth that when nature was sink
ing under the ash and the victim of their fury
could no longer utter even groan, the internal
master would examine the pulse, and if the vital
spring was yet whole, they would apply the lash
again. if they feared that nature could no longer
endure, they would let down their victim to re-
cover strength, and then finish what devils would
be ashamed to do.
AS an evidence of the generosity of southern
chivalry he said that often, when drest out in the
best style, he was nearly starved. AS an evidence
of southern duplicity, he said that masters, who
had been in the cellar whipping their slaves as be-
fore described, would come into the parlor with
smiling countenances, and attend to company with
all the attention and poi:eness possible that even
the poor slaves must wash away their tears and
their blood, and appear with smiles on their coun-
tenances, while their souls were wrung with in
ward anguish,--as it was an objectionable Of
fence for them to show the least symptom of I'M
happiness or discomfort.
Such is the honorable, high-mnded South, Of
which we hear such praise from those who have
seen the happy slave, and Toasted with the geme,-
Ous master Is this religion or infernalism?
Yours cordially,
KIAH BAYLEY.

ILLINols,--A letter from a decided friend OF the
cause at Columbus, says there is a society of about
fifty members, and Messrs. Johnson and Mar
land of the Covenanters' church have recently de-
Iivered lectures to the congregation there, The
writer gives his views on political action -" My
opinion clearly is, that an unwavering support of
men of good moral character at the polls rrespec-
tive of political parties, will be the most efectual
means of success. There is such cringing for
popularity among our public men, that they may
soon be made at least to fear our influence for,
insignificant as we may appear to some, our weight
on the end of scale nearly balanced may make
the other kick the beam. "-Eman.

From the South.-On returning from the Ma
tional Anti-Slavery Convention, recently held at
Albany received the following characteristic let
ter. 1t is written in disguised hand, and came
charged 25 cts postage.
"AuguSta Geo., July 20. 1889.
Sr,-The enclosed was toast that was
drank at a dinner on the 4th ofJuly 1899. Come
out here and we will put 1t IN force"
Enclosed was the following scrap from a news
paper the author of which is probably the writer
of the letter, and may be a northerner with
southern principles"
"By Fl. B Johnson.-The Abotionists May
they be lathered with aquafortis, and shaved with
a hand-saw."
How new, witty and smart fine sentiment
truly, for Georgian, on the 18th of July! How
we'll he must comprehend and appreciate the Dec
laration of Independence, and the rights of man.
No one will imagine the above insulting epistle
was written by a southern gentleman, some of
whom visit the North at this season. On the con-
trary, it was written, doubtless, by one of those
characters who do not hesitate to show their po-
likeness and civity, at the North as we'll as South,
by rudeness, meanness, profanity and vulgarty.
A few of them were on board the steamboat yes
terday and attempted to insult Mr.. Scoble, Col
Miller ard others. One of them addressing Col,
nj. said, suppose you are willing that your
daughter should walk arm and arm in the streets,
with negro" The Col. fastening upon the young
hero his large and expressive eyes, that made him
tremble from head to foot said, al had rather, sir
that daughter of mine should walk with re-
spectacle colored man than with a person of your
principles" The young blood replied, in rage,
" will not Cannot y argue with you, but will
fight you'd.

Day of Fasting and PRAYER.

At meeting of neutrality-suspicious. of re-
ligion, provdentially convened in Albany, in at
tendance on the National Anti-Slavery Conven-
ton, and assembled for prayer, in the Session
room of the 4th Presbyterian Church, on Friday
morning, Aug. I'd, 1889.
After a season of prayer Rev. John Cross was
called to the chair and William Goodell appon ed
Secretary.
On motion, it was voted, as the sense of this
meeting that the cause of pure religion and con-
sistent abolltionism would be greatly promoted by
occasional convocations of Christian abolitionists
from number of contiguous towns, or throughout
county or large section of country, for the spe-
cial purpose of united and continued PRAYER, ex-
horation, preaching and mutual counsel in refer
ence to the Anti-Slavery enterprise to be contin-
ued during day or number of days, as circum-
stances may seem to render desirable and benef-
cial
A brother having stated that at recent Session
of the New Hampshire Conference of the Metho.
dist Episcopal Church Bishop Hedding presiding)
the last Friday of September next was appointed
as day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, in
reference to the subject of slavery and emancipa
ton 1T was thereupon moved and voted that
this meeting afectionately and respectfully recon-
mend to Christians of all denominations the obser-
vance of the same day for this same object.
1t was also voted that the Editors of all the re.
ligious papers and Of all the Anti-Savery papers
in the United States be respectfully requested to
publish the proceedings of this meeting.
