societies, however excellent those socie-
ties may be in themselves.
Ii we love the erring master. then, let
us show our love in the way IN which 1t
is most needed and in which it will be
the most available. If we love the suf-
fering slave, let US prove our love by
church fellowship with him in his
wrongs. Let US hasten to do our part,
under God, in removing the evil that is
DESTROYING both master and slave like the
plaques of Egypt Let US hasten to be
the instruments in averting the terrible
judgments of God, that threaten to over

EXACTLY RIGHT. The session Of The
Presbyterian Church in Chester, n. H.,
on the 18th inst, passed four resolutions
on slavery, which we copy as good ex-
ample of church action. 1t is Just the
ground, which the Presbyterian General
Assembly ought to take, and every dele
gate of that body who does not come up
to it, falls short Of his duty TO the oppress-
ed.-Mass. AboLitionist.
Resolved, That for man to claim prop
erty in man, upon which is founded the
system of American slavery, is at all
times and under all possible circums'an-
ces, a gross usurpation of power, helm
Gus sin against God, and should be I'M
mediately repented of and forsaken.
Resolved. That we will not invite any
protested minister of the gospel to oaiciate
as such in Gods house, nor any protested
Christian to commune with US at the
Lord table, whom We know to be gull
ty of this sin but will rather admonish
all such of their sin, and exhort them to
immediate repentance.
Resolved, That We consider all who
apologize for slaveholding, or in any way
palliate its sinfulness, and thereby soothe
the conscience of the STAKEHOLDER, and dc
not, as far as ia them lies, warn the Cypress
or of his guilt and danger, to be guilty in
the sight of God.
Resolved, That we believe it to be
agreeable to the spirit of the gospel, vol
unfairly TO associate so as unitedIy to &C
against any moral evil, and that we be
: lieve that the American Anti-Slavery So
ciety is an association whose object is tht
entire abolition Of slavery, and that W.
cordially approve Of Its measures.

GREAT REJOICING IN LITTLE PED

The Federal Loco Foco journals laboring to

hope, by confounding the name of Robert ~ Uick-
iGe with that of the distinguished lawyer and states
man RoBERr WIcKLrFEa staunch republican, and sup

Ii is only by such confusion Of names that any de-
gree of equcncc be attached to the tegversa

party. At Lexington in Fayette county, or where
ever ROBERT N WIcKLlrFE is, however, one will
concede the slightest Importance to the matter; and

Familiarity known as Lazy Bob, afterwards, as
Greasy Bob and having added to his Christian
name, by way of distinction from Robert Wick

He has been long suspected Of being Loco Foco,
and from the loosencss of his habits and morals has
been called Loco Foco Wing. He was candidate
for Congress the last election protesting to be good
Wing and managed by secret promises to the Van
Buren, party to obtain circular letters from their Gen.

on him. but with his false colors and reasonable in
trigue, he beaten at every place of voting in the
district.
While protesting to be a Wing, and coverty acting
with the Loco Focos, he has been pest in the Wing
ranks, and it is believed that there is one of the
party which he has left who will not rejoice that he
has unmarked himself He is destitute of all nfu-

A STANDING ARMY.

The idea of great standing army originated
with Mr.. Van Buren's administration. 1t was
4 part of the great plan by which the whole
country was TO be brought into subsection 10
the Erecutire mill The Sub-freasury was
10 give him the PURSE, and the Standing Army
the SWORD of the nation. He recommended
the Sub-tredsury at the extra session in Sep
tcmber, 1887 ; and, at the regular session in
December, 1897, his annual message contains
the following recommendation for the increase
Of the standing army.
The necessity of stripping the posts the
tune and inland frontiers of their entire garrsons for
The purpose of assembling in the field army of less
than four thousand men, would seem to indicate the
necessity Of INCREASING OUR REGULAR
FORCES; and the superior efficiency, as well as
greatly diminished erpense Of that description Of
troops, RECOMMEND this measure az one Of economy
as rel as erpediency.
fol. the increase Of a standing army, in time
OF peace, and without any immediate apprehen-
sion Of war, for the sole reason of its ''effcien-
cy" and economy" is precisely that reason
which is assigned by every monarchist in Eu-
rope, not only for standing army, but for a
fHdfSNy toeg.
These views were ampli6ed and enforced by
communication from the Secretary Of War,
Nh. Poinsett) addressed to the Speaker OF the
House, and bearing date March 81, 1888, and
which may be found in the Sth vol of Execu-
I'VE Documents of the House of Representa-
tges, Sd session Of the 25th Congress, No. 27l
and TO which we invite attention.
In consequence of these recommendations,
congress, on the 9Th day of July, 1888, passed
an act by which the STANDING ARMY in this
country was MORE THAN DOUBLED. This aci
was reported and strongly advocated by Mr.. Nc

Gen. Harrison was invited by committee, special

ground that it might be improper considering his po

much interest by the citizens Of this State, and

DIR. Duncan, who catches minnows IN the
Miami, says, that when he finds himself among
Wings, he always feels inclined to place his
hand upon his pocket This is plagiarism
from one who would have been a Tory"
The remark originated with Charles j. Inger-
soil, and DR.. Duncan has not improved the Joke
by dividing il, and changing the object When
made by Ingersoll il read thus-that he never
entered meeting of Democrats without in
stinctively putting one hand to his nose and the
other to his pocket. Judging from Ingersols
physiognomy, we should think he turned up his
nose at every thing-judging from Duncan's
character that he turns up his nose at nothing
But the probable reason why Duncan felt in
clined to put his hand upon his pocket at Balti-
more was, that he was among shareholders. In
his letter Of September IS, 1898, he said that
Slavery was an evil which involves in it, 'as well
in its present possession as in its future opera
tons, crime, fraud, theft robbery. murder, and
deahn His instinct at Baltimore, therefore,
was only true to his fears Of being involved in
the Operations " Of slavery.

THE FEDERAL Loco-Focos SUPPRESS
| ING A PLAN OF THE ADMINISTRA-
TIONl
The course Of the Federal Loco-focos of the
Senate, in regard to the publication Of the Stand
ing Army Bill Of the Secretary Of War, is Of a
piece with that of the Federal Loco-foco press.
II is well known that the Administration jour
mails have refused TO set before their readers this
leading measure Of the Administration. The
Richmond Enquirer has, for weeks, promised
TO publish il; but the fulflment Of that promise
has been put of from time 10 time, and up to
this day, the editor has not been able 10 summon
courage enough 10 present il.
The Federal Loco Foco members of Con-
gress have suppressed the circulation of the few
copies that were printed here, as ndustriously
as have the Loco Foco editors in the country
labored to prevent the printing Of any more
But now we have report from the Militia Com
mttee Of the Senate, on this scheme of the Ex-
ecutive. Ii is designed to defend the Bill Of the
Administration land such was the eargeness of
the Loco Foco Federalists TO circulate il, that
the Globe had II out in ertenso three days be-
fore single copy was placed on the table Of the
Senators. II will, Of course, be caught up by
all "the party" papers that have never vcntured
TO publish the Bill itdefends
The Opposition Senators have requested that
the bill Of the Administration, on which the re-
port is founded, should be printed along with
il. They have challenged the opportunity TO
send the documents together. The challenge
has not been met. The majority of the Militia
Committee and their Federal Loco-foco allies
have determined to send abroad their apology,
without the plan Of the Executive to pre-
occupy the public mind, and then ask verdict
in their favor.
It's pretended by the Federal Loco-focos that
the people have the plan Of the Executive al
ready in their possession. How have any copies
come into their possession These worthless
say, the Opposition have scattered them far and
wide And now they propose to counteract the
effect OF the publication Of an Administration
measure made at the expense of individuals, by
sending forth report at the expense of the Ma
tional Treasury What an illustration is this
also Of the character of the present contest =
The People with their spontaneous contributions
against the officeholders with their millions OF
public money
