Holy PLACES, &c.--We hesitate not to say,
that we have not the least degree of veneration
for times, or places, or institutions, or associate
bodies, of whatever name, which are 'tprosttut-
ed" or desecrated' by being associated with the
Anti-slayery cause. 1 he man that has not stud
led the Bible enough to know that is an Anti
slavery book; and who is not sufficiently acquaint-
ed with the Gospel of Jesus Christ to know that il
is an Antl-slavery Gospel, is, in our estimation,
but wretchedy qualified to decide for others what
is and what is not compatible with the honor and
sacredness of the Lords day, the pulpit, and the
Christian minstry.-.4n. Freeman.

FOR THE MADisoNIAN,

MIR. EDIToR-l have read your article Of the -
ult in reply TO Mr. Richies nuttering anxiety re-
speeding the rumored dspos ton Of President Tyler
and his friends towards Mr.. Clay and the Wing par
ty. Nothing could have been better said, or more
timely, in temper, in sentiment, or in admoniton,
than your article, and nothing more in consonancc
with the convictions of the Presidents friends every
where
That the Van Buren, men Of the North and East
have played falsefremedfatey false and heartlessy,
towards the President notorious there as that such
man as Van Buren, lives. That to do this, they
fawned dssem6led acted the mcanest parts Of era
spirits void alike of sincerity aud shame in their
+" hot pursuit' Of Government patronage and plum
der and beed their psrty's principles and disros-
ion TO the shame, toe, of all the truly honest in the
ranks Of their party is ndisputabc and we'll cstab
ishcd as any other fact ia history,
There we're those-few in number it Is true-of
the Presidents early and uniform friends, who
warned the President against tie Hessian politi-
clans, and hei machnatiors to steal away his power
and ruin his fair fame But, the Presidents too ho-
nest and frankly disposed, and confding heart could
not comprehend the subtcty and depths Of such foul
plottngs and political knavery and was induced TO
doubt the accuracy Of the admontions of those few
friends though not distrustng their motives, and TO
believe that there must be sincerity in the fair promises
and professions Of those who assumed to promise and
profess for so many of his fellow countrymen.
But, your article rcjoices the hearts and honest
convictions Of the Presidents true fricnds-in that it
assures them he now and knows, and rightly des
pses, the willy entertainments that we're raised pur-
posely TO dupe, and rob, aud then desert him. The
article Of the Enquirer the other baud berays to
their indignant comprehension no less clearly, how
ready he is TO ply the Bonded knee of sycophancy to
effect a continuation of the Presidents misplaced
confidence in the treacherous minions of Van Buren,
ISM that the party may exc out still other adyan-
tages from this foul game Of political duplicty.

son of Gen. Jackson? These men have gone down

honor and character But why bring forward this
measure at this particular timer Is it TO crafty
