A Minister for Sale!
Montpelier, Jan. 1884,

The following is an extract ola letter from Rev.
M. D. Miller Of Wilmington, VT, to the editor
of the Vermont Observer, dated May %, l844:-
And then, as though enough was not done to
outrage humanity, i'll this great convention, MIN
,sler Of Christ IS offered for SAFE! Yes, breth ren
of Vermont, yc who are weary OF paying a salary
to support the gospel, if you had been at Phiade-
phia at the Baptist TRIBUNAL Convention you
could have purchased one recommended to be a
good minister of Christ-one that class, hoWev-
er, who if YOU make them free, "cannot take care
of themseVes!'
But YOU are ready to ask, how is this?- do they
sell men in Philadelphia? Late reports say they
kill men there--that they have, since the conVen-
ton was holden, killed ID men and turned 200 Ia
miles into the streets hOuseeSs. We'll, how Is 1t
about the man offered for sale? Why when the
report Oh American missions was read, it stated,
that experience had shown that the mission could
not be sustained through the nstrumentaIlty OF
white missionaries, and recommended that Colored
| men be prepared and sent out. Dr. Ryland, OF
Virginia. arose and said he was pastor of Il color
ed church of 1000 members, and one OF the mem
beers, a minister and slave, was anxious to go g
minister to Africa; good man, well quahed ion
the work, had partly paid for HIMSELF, and if the
Convention would pay 900 dollars, they could have
/ him free and send him to Africa "Now," said
: bro Ryand, "here is chance for you who are 81
anxious for The slave, to try your liberaIity."
Look at t-Southern brethren say slavery is no
a sin, and yet they say, here is a man whom Chris
has called to preach his gospel; he cannot go be
cause he is a slave And this same brother win
offered for sale a member of his church, and actu
} ally brought this article Of property with him t
Philadelphia, that the purchasers might eXamin
/ for themselves, told me in private conversation
that if the aboltionisrs did not pay over the $500
he should use it as an argument against them. {
o my heart sickened when applied the words {
3 Christ, "WhatsoeYer ye have done to the least {
these my brethren, we have done it unto me."-
How mus, the Savior FEEL to hear one of his pre-
lessed friends say slavery is not sin, when it hole
If his mnsters-as bad as to hold himself-aS slave

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

The first session of the 99th Congress closed its
angry deliberations at 90 minutes to O'Clock on
SUNDAY morning. Speaking of the scenes that
transpired in the House during the night, the cor
respondent of the Express writes: &C | would not
have been one of the majority, to have been re-
sponsibo for such legislation, such scenes of riot
and disorder, of drunkenness with WINE, by some;
and with passions by others, for all the combined
honors of the two houses of congress. Shame up
on such legislation, and everlasting shame upon
such legislators. Surely, not one OF the guilty.
will escape the rebuke and condemnation OF theli
constituents"

Danger Of AmaIgamatiOn,
OR A FACT WITHOUT COMMENT.

During the reign of &c abolition riots" in this
city, the writer of this was passing through the |
village of P, in one of the western counties |
of this State, just after intelligence arrived of the
commotion here. This little village was quite
awake to the dangers of aboiitonism; and not a
little were the good cti2eas troubled about the
wonderful and monstrous' doctrine, amafgama-
ton. ..
A learned Judge, whose conscience responded to
the public meeting, was amch the most active,
and the bodest yocfeators against the federation
Of amagamalive aboItonists.' He was doubtless
apprehensive tibet some dark crime might at some
future day demand the judicial investigation Of
his noble mind. He thought philanthropy and
patriotism called upon him to do something to
avert the fearful consequences which be tOreSaoo.
met this Judge in the store of a friend, laborng
hard to procure his name to paper Che mad
number of signatures already by which the sign
ers mutually agreed, mot 10 EMPLOY do business
,vih, or giUe coLored persons any means Of subs's
ence' but to do all in their power to eXpel them
from the place. The philanthropy of our Judge
was not of superficial character. He said he had
in his house coored servant girl, who had been
the best servant he ever had, and it would cost
: him 1--WE don't doubt it !! and his family, no small
sacrifice to give her up, but be believed the crisis
of the times demanded it, The Judge did not sue
coed with my friend. for he was an abotionlst-
neither did he succeed in expelling the blacks from
the place.
! passed through this same village Of P
about four months from this time, and to my az
E constituent found this usually quiet place in al
equally high state ofeNcitement as when left it.
: Reader-W hat do you think was the cause o
it? Why analgamallon was yet the exciting top
e c The Judge had been more than prophetic
about the dangers Of amaigamation; for that val
. ued servant of his with whom to part would COS
y him such sacrifice, was now mother, and on
/, redoubtable j,dge an honored father. Reader! !
IS Can you guess why he saw the dangers OF amaga
nation so clearly!!
: TO the honor of the village of P, be it spo
/ ken, public sentiment made the place too war;
e for him. His respectable family abandoned hlI
ot at once and he was obliged to avail himself Of til

WHAT MORE REVOLTING!

DR.. Brisbane, in his lecture on "Wednesday eve:
remarked that "slavery destroyed the brotherhood
of man." and in evidence of it stated that, after
having given freedom to his slaves, although he
had "baptized 60 CONVERSE in church at the
south, vet that church would not hear him preach
to them, nor allow him to remain in the communI-
ty!
And, more horrible, savage and heather than all
the rest, he could not " visit the graves of his
Ichiltrenn And when he went to effect the eman'
eipation of those to whom he gave liberty, he was
under the necessity Of letting his beard grow to al
unusual length, in order to disguise himself, les
his brothers in the church, and others, should de
stroy him!

WISCONSIN.

A correspondent from Milwaukee writes as fol-
lows:
Our town election came off on Tuesday in Mil
waukie, the average Liberty vote was about loo
out of $50 polled Last fall the Liberty vote here
was II--an increase of nine-fold in six months
We shall unquestionabIy double our strength by
the next fall election. In PrairievlIe the Wing
and democratic parties united against the Liberty
Party-the result is, the defeat of the Liberty
Ticket, by majority of only three or four, in al
aggregate vote Of 900! As illegal votes were adj
mifted by the pro slavery party, it is probable thf
election will be set aside. If so, we shall Wthou
doubt carry the town.-.4D. Pat.

Pretty business, truly, for the vessels of the u.
S. Navy, to be engaged in hunting runaway
slaves! Is it for this that the free lahorers of the
free States are keeping up that navy-pouring
their earnings into the lap of the General Govern
ment? Will the people submit to these abuses
much longer? If they do, they are slaves indeed

We are very much pleased to hear from the
Aberdeen and the Monroe Wings: thew are
first rate Wings, always ready and always in
motion. We would call the attentIo ofonr rea.
ders to the preamble and resolutions published
in our columns to-day, from the Aberdeen Clay
Club. They contain the right views and seem
to have been dictated,by strong Wing spir
it, amounting to an efficient enthusiasm. Not
wilhstanding the unequal contest to which
they are called, in their county, it is to be no
ped and believed. from the energy and warmth
of feeling, in the cause, they must necessary
run back into the minority, the forces of dark
ness, by the November Election: Success L

Columbus Whig. (Columbus, Miss.) 1843-18??, 1844-06-13

The Committee appointed by the Columbus
Clay Club, to distribute papers and other docu-
ments, should remember. that they are not nc .
ccssarily to be furnished with the papers by
the Club, fog distribution. It is the duty of
every member of this committee, to procure
subscribers, to the cheap Wing papers, which
are intended for circulation until the election.
There is scarcely man in the country or town,
if asked, would not take the Spirit of TO- or
the Louisville Journal, or New York Tribune,
at the low price of so cents. This is the way
to distribute papers. Get the names with the
money, and send them on for the papers. Much
can be done IN this way.
