light LAcING.-This abominable
fashion, as we learn from the Paris cor
respondent of the National Intelligencer,
has at length yielded to the loud and Oft
repeated intimations of physical science
and common sense. The shackles of
whalebone. steel springs and cords are at
length broken. The French ladies have
discarded tight lacing. All the fashiona-
bic world can now do so in safety. They
take much exercise in the open air, and
do not suffer their blood TO stagnate.
'Fhey-will therefore be mothers of well
formed and healthy children. Let the
bells ring and the guns fire. and the peal
ing organ strike the loud anthem for the
time of their deliverance from bondage
has come. At length the stay tape is
broken, the women are free. Instead of
being pressed into the shape Of an hour
glass. they may now regain the fair pro-
portions of nature, taking for models the
female form as carved by the Grecian
masters, aud make their dresses CORES

ACTION AGAINST SLAVERY, bv the
Baptist Church IN Lecereu and Mon-
tague, Haas Whereas, Slavery, as it
exists In this nation, robs the slave of him
self, ofconrse ofan his inalienabIe rights ::
disannuls the institution of marriage, and
sunders the dearest Ties by separating, at
pleasure, husband and wife, parents and
children, brothers and sisters; denies him
the privilege of reading the BIBLE, to
which he has the same claim as his mas
ter and ourselves thus consigning him
TO state OF ignorance and bondage as de-
grading and dangerous as it is hopeless
and deplorable; we.believe it is a great
and inexcusable sin in the Shareholder,
whether it is viewed as a transgression of
the law of Cop, or as contrary to the glo-
rlous gospel Of HIS Son.
And, whereas, slavery in this free coun-
try, has grown into mighty system OF
oppression, claiming at the present time
about one sixth of the population for its
victims, thousands of whom, os we'll as
multitude of their masters, are our Chris
tan brethren, we feel bound, by our love
of liberty, by our adherence of sue h
slavery, by our sympathy for the slave,
by our duty to the Shareholder, to bear a
decided testimony against it, @....
Therefore, resolved, that it is not our

Robinson, the murderer Of Abraham
Suydam, oil Brunswick, N. j., has been
sentenced by Chief Justice Hornbdwer,
to be hanged on the 10Th inst.
The Chief Justice pronounced the sem
tence with great feeling and solemnty-
much affected himself, and affecting all
who heard him-save only the hardened
prisoner, who betrayed not by ign or
emotion. that he felt at all. -.
1T is now known that he had confessed
the understanding that he did invei>
gle the unfortunate deceased to his house,
under pretence of paying off the mort
gage; and that while he was sitting a: a
table, writing receipt, he, Robinson, un-
der pretence of fetching the money, went
out, got behind him, and felled him with
a blow of a carpenters mallet,-thus ex-
actl y corroborating the opinion of DR..
Smith, on the trial, that the wound on the
back ofthe head was made with a blunt
instrument ...
The victim not stirring, he supposed
him dead, and dragged him down into the
cellar. There, however, he exhibited
some signs of life, whereupon, Robinson
drove the spade into his skull, which must
have instanty extinguished life.
Other revelations are said to have been
made, but these we fortear to repeat
though the fall extent of this depraved
and hardened criminals guilt, is not we
suspect yet deyeloped.-N YAmeriean.
FLORIDA. There seems to be renew
al Of trouble with the Florida Indians.
There has been severe skrmish between
small body of the troops under Lieut..
Albertis and large body of Indians in
the neighborhood of Fort Russell. The
detachment fought It's way through to the
fort with the loss of four killed and six
wounded
Later accounts state that Capt Barnum
with 100 men came up with the Indians,
and commenced an attack, but Lost six
men, aud the fate OF the remainder is un-
certain. Is our nation at peace?
