re-absorbed by those parties from which we came
out-and from which we came out for the very
reason, that they allow these questions to come
into competitor with, and even to merge, the claims
of the slave. The liberty party, which you hau
the honesty and courage so recently to euloglze IN

be wrecked and ruined. The American anti-slave-
nv cause would then have persisted from the trea-
cherry of its own friends. know, that from such
inevitable consequences of our suffering the con-

too sorely of our past voting against the sIaVe' ta'
we should ever again repeat the enormous crime
And, besides, we have stood by him too long, that
we should now forsaSe him. We will continue to
hold up the standard of freedom, as well as such

your strong hand will also grasp that standard;

is that this will be the last political national trl'

From The Morning Chronicle.
Theodore FrelinghuySen,

The nomination of this distinguished religlonist
by the Wing partv,-a nomination Dictated too,
by the southern branch of that pary,-ls, TO our
most pregnant sign OF the times.
We regard it as a sheer tribute to the already teH
influence of the Liberty Party, and the exalted
principles which it has avowed to govern the Sc
lection of candidates for all the high offices of trust
and honor By the efforts of the Liberty organl-
cations, the people ofhe North are already arous-
ing themselves to consciousness OF the deep deg
radiation into which they have fallen, in nominating
and supporting men known to be destitute OF NOR
al principle. They are rapidly becoming awake
to the awful political heresy involved in their old
maxim, that religion has nothing to 40 with the
ballot box In word, the conscience of the North
has been pricked. Henry Clay, the duellst-Hen-
ry Clay the gambler-Hcnry Clay, the sIavehold-
en- land we know not how many other lmmorall-
ties we might add } is felt to be quite as much of
that kind of burden as the already nauseated stom-
achs ofreligous Wings were able to bear.
A sedative must be administered, and precisely
those qualities concurring in Mr.. Freinghuysen,
which five years ago would have rendered him to-
tally unavailable as a candidate, have become, by
the change which has come over the public mind,
Just the thing needed to retain the uneasy men OF
conscience from total abandonment of that stale
harlot of the slaveocracy-the Wing party.
All this was absolutely necessary in Wing can
didate for.Vice President. The active friend and
patron of Bible societies, Sabbath schools, and all
the appliances of pious reform, was just the man.
One other ingredient, however, was indispensable.
He must be a man quite safe, that is, having no
conscience touching slavery. Hence the South
must select that the South may be satisfied on that
score Could both ends have been better attained
than in T. Frelinghuysen? The Wings have: sur
passed themselves in the wisdom of their tactics in
this move, and while we hail it as tribute to our
principles, yet, let every liberty man remember
that it is tribute forced from unwilling minds'
and take courage and PERSENERE'

Bro. AspENwALL:-lfa an exchange OF labor is
agreed upon between Rev. Mcssrs. Gleed and
Garnet, put down for Hinesburgh $500 towards
defraying the expenses as mentioned by brother
B. H. r. of Stow. Our calls are numerous, but
with the blessing of God on our labors, we can,
and we will, do little for all that we believe will
be for the benefit of our brethren in bonds.
The cause Of aboltonism gains with us slowly,
but surely. do not know of a single case of
sound conversion to Liberty Party principles, in
which there is the least danger of backsdng.
Among our Wing friends in this region, there Is
a determination to choose the least of two evils
Yes, astounding as is the fact-choose the least OF
two moral eviIs! This reminds me Of the follow

of it, A clergyman, having taken passage on boarC

the captain on the propriety of making an effort t
suppress it, and was told that the thing was impos
sible-that they would not obey him unless ne use'

on the experiment being tried. Soon after VIC
lent storm arose, and the commander. according t.
promise, gave his orders without any oaths; bu
no one moved. He repeated his orders, with VIC
lent gestures and tone of voice-but not sallo

When first commenced preaching, an
old minister told me the following story,
which has been of use 10 me. 1t may be
Of use 10 others.
In years past and gone lived an old
Baptist minister ly the name of Place.
lie had more than common ''gilt of
gab,' and was very DESTROYS of pleasing
his hearers. An old brother, by the name
of Wnsor, was fond OF the company of
Elder Place, and used to felch and carry
him on his preaching tours. On one oc-
casion, as Elder Place came near the
place Of his appointment, lie asked his
brother Winsor what the people generally
believed where lie was going TO preach.
The brother told him that it was none of
his business, but il was his duty 10 preach
what he believed himself But Elder
place made inquiries, and found the peo-
pie were mostly Unitarians so he preach-
ed that which would not hurt any Unla-
rian. On their way home, brother VIM
sor said TO Elder Place, lie would tell him
Il ollOlt atpi 10 iNiiNNS'
On certain holiday, a man of good
property wished 10 give the minister
pig. lie caught pig, tied his legs, put
him in a basket, covered him up, and d.
rectcd his negro boy TO carry him 10 the
minister, and tell the minister that he
might kill it and eat it, or he might raise
it. The black boy on his way stopped
to see the military parade, and some young
men, wishing TO have joke, slipped out
the pig and put in a puppy. The boy
went to the minister's house with the
puppy, anddid HIS errand to the minister,
saying that his master had sent him pre-
sent, that he might kill il and eat it, or he
might raise it.
On the minister opening the basket and
seeing the puppy, he says TO the boy,
"does your master wish to insult me l
do not wish to raise a dog, neither do |
wish to ca; puppy" The black boy
looked at the puppy, stared, and toh the
minister, che be a pig when | started
with him"
On his way home he sat down his bas-
ket, and the young men drew off the at
tcntion Of the boy, while they slipped out
the puppy and put in the pig again.
When the boy got home, his master ask
cd him how the minister liked his present.
The boy says, che no like it; when l
got there he turn into a puppy" The
man opened the basket, and To- the pig
was there. The boy looked at the pig,
stared again, and said "well, if You be a
pig when you mind to, and apuppy when
you mind to, fetch and carry you no
more"
This story is good rebuke to many
ministers. There is much preaching that
is sometimes pig and sometimes puppy
Just to suit the times.
