answered you-nothing but the rules of politeness

the disturbing current of politics, all | ask, is to

Senator from Mass, delivered before the CLAW
Club of Boston, in August last:
"Does he recollect how vast a change the senti-
ments of civilization have undergone on that whole
subject (slavery) since 1920. Does he remember
that in that learning, the world is five hundred
years older than it was then? Can he not reaa
The gathering signs of The times? Does he moi
mark the blazing character traced by the bodies,

especially what England has done within twenty
years? Does he not see and fee. that in that in

Then, gentlemen, you have the embodied, the
printed sentiments of the Wing party of the NortE
and some of the Democrats of the North. And hi
must be blind indeed who can travel, & tarry any
considerable length of time at the North, and no
read the gathering signs of times nor see Fhe bod

without arrogance, | would beseech the whole
e South to lay aside their party warfare, and squad

they cannot rely on either Wings or Democrats a

"The Georgia Stakeholder and his
Catchpole."

Some time last summer, it will be recollected,a
correspondent ofthe Freeman gave an account of
an Infamous kidnapping affair in Windsor county,
in this State. in which one BaiIey,a Georgia slave
holder, assisted by Col. Samuel Mutt, of Hartford,
in this State. retook IA female slave and returned
her to the d gsgeons of Southern slavery. The
stakeholder and his accompIice were both arrested,
but escaped the penalties of our laws against KID
mapping for want of proof to show that force was
used in retakDg the slave
A friend fnNew York has just sent US a copy OF
the'Georgia Pioneer containing the following let
ter concerinp the affair, written by Bailey himself,
after his retarn to Georgia. Observe, he says he
went with 81 friend and retook the slave, but es-
caped conviction as it could not be PROVEN that
he used force in rccapturing herb Thus the
char re is virtually admitted, and the damning fac
stands ont before the world, that our own wild
glens and Green Mountains have been pressed by
the feet of slaveholding blood hounds as they
sought and clutched their prey, and that there are
those among US SO nearly allied to the demons o

We would inquire of the Waterman whether it
is consistent to denounce rum selling and rum
drinking on one page, and on another, keep a stan.
ding advertisement for these body and soul de-
s,royers, under the head of CHOW FOR THE

dopted
Wherers it has pleased Almighty God
in his wise providence to remove our for
mer Rector, the Rev. PAAMER DYER, by
sudden and awful death, from the walks of
usefulness among US, Therefore,
Resotred, That we sincerely deplore this
affective dispensalion. We have ever
known him TO be our true hearted friend.
We can never forget that he was, under
God, the founder of onr Parish, and that by
his devotion to the high trusts committed TO
him by the great Head of the Church. he
perfected our organization, nur,urod and
cherished our feeble congregation, encour-
aged the faithful, instructed the ignorant,
consoled the afflicted, and ministered TO
the wants ofall, during the dark and DIS,
couragng years Of our struggle in maintain
ing the establishment of the church in this
place,
Resolved That we can never cease to re-
member the sacrifice he willingly made in
our behalf nor his worth, his talents, his I'M.
feigned piety, and devotion to the holy
cause OF Christ's Church.
Resolped, That in his death not only we,
but the whole Church is bereaved by the
loss of sound and erudite thcologian, an
eloquent preacher and a faithful pastor; he
was one of its firmest pillars, courageous
and faithful champions, and brightest orna-
ments Literature and Learning will also
mourn the loss of a devoted student and ac-
complished scholar.
Rcsolred, That we deeply svmpa,hze
with his bereaved partner and child, and
with his numerous and attached relatives
and friends in this sad and terrible bereave
mcnt Blu, we rejoice at the blessed consol.
alton which i, affords them in this trial by
the evidence of his life spent in good works
and the holy cause Of God, and that they
