SuSnenSiOn Of a Minister,

The Synod of Cincinnati, (of the new school
Presbyterian Church. recently held its session
at Ripley, during which the case of the Rev.
Mr.. Graham, a prominent divine, came up for
consideration, and resulted in his suspension
from the ministry. The charges upon which he
was arraigned and condemned, were four, as
follows:
81. He teaches that according to the Jewish
law, the slave was not reckoned as a man or wo-
man, but as property, 2. He teaches that the
master held the right to beat the slave, and that
hardly. 3. He teaches that the master had the
right to sell the slave. 4. He teaches that the
head of the Church has authorized the relation
between master and slave, involving the right Of
property, not only in the charter, but in all the
laws that he has given tor the government of
the Church. "-Cincinnati Watchman.
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1845-11-27

to carry their party ends, it is a sure sign that
the party has not ruth and principle sufficient
to recommend it to public favor. The course
the old parties have taken to destroy the Liber-
ty party and to keep their own ranks good ought
to open the eyes of the honest men in those
parties. Let. MT Liberty men follow in their
footsteps. If the use of honest and fair means
will not secure the cooperation Of those friendly
to the slave in the old parties let them remain
where they are.
There are multitudes now looking on with
interest, watching every movement aud when
they shall have seen that We ourselves are not
ashamed Of our principles, but are honest il
our efforts to secure their triumph and mean no
to give up the struggle until the work is accom-
plished, they will not withhold their assistance
but unless they can come with honest hearts
and a firm belief that our principles are right
we are better off without than with them,, Oul
numbers may increase slow, bnt so long as We
remain honest we can ask Gods blessing upon
our efforts and our success is certain,
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1845-11-27
The Wings and Annexation.

His renowned political ObsOleteness, the "god-like
Daniel, y has added the finishing touch, to his fame as
Defender of the Constitution, by reiterating, at a re-
cent meeting in Faneuil Hall, the stale SANDER that the
Liberty party is responsible for the annexation of Tex
as; which assertion he conclusively proves by a~lledging
that i the Liberty party had voted for Mr.. Clay, he
would have been elected; and # Mr.. Clay had been e.
lected, annexation would not have taken place: both Of
which assertions we believe, and have often attempted
to show, were wholly without foundation. However
we don't blame Daniel so much, for he is endeavoring
to carry out the game, and play the part of Baalam's ass
for the shareholders, in anticipation of the time whor
another Presidential candidate will be wanted.
What we wished to notice, more especially was, the
avidity with which the wing presses catch up and reit
crate this base Islander, just at this crisis, when nothing
but a united and vigorous effort on the part of all who
love Liberty better than slavery, can prevent the con.
summation of annexation, slavery and all. Their dis
cordant notes and vile epithets are just in time to per
feet the fond schemes of shareholders. If the wings
are honestly opposed to slavery, and desire to prevent
its p~erpetuity, why not Join with all such as are willing
to use their influence against it, and thus create a pub.
lie sentimen throughout the free states that even the
~so-caled democrats are not in favor of SLAVERY; ant
when the wings will act, as well as preach, anti-slavery
the democratic party will be obliged to follow suit
But no; the wings have no aim or design at the alb
clifton of slavery. They haue mever adopted 1t into hei
creed nhae II ,OOud tell against the Institution. They
nominated a champion of oppression-a violent defa
mer of the abolitionists-who r%ejoiced that neither
political party in the country aimed at the abolition o
slavery; and then, because the abolitlonists cauld see
no %propriety in using him as an instrument to efec
their purpose, they must be tainted with having cho
sen the "evil" that was in the opposing scale! W
hope such men may live, to enjoy repentance ant
better minds"
