l dreamed a dream; if | don't mistake
| dreamed this dream when wide awake.

Sabbath evening, sitting in his richly fur
nished parlor, in Free Pennsylvania, engag-
ed in deep thought, how best to promote the
interest of the Old School Presbyterian
Church, and to spread abroad the "Patriar-
chal" institutions of the South, so as to
cover the North with its blessings; and in
stantly | saw him spring to his feet, and
clapping his hands on his forehead, | heard
him utter in most reproachful terms the fol-
lowing soliloquy:
"How vastly short we 'latter-day' Presby-
terians have come of living out the laws
which Jehovah gave to the Jews. 1t was in
his statute that the brother should marry the
wife Of a deceased brothers; but now they are
shamefully neglected and, often suffered to
die in widowhood, without being married by
any one. IL a man stole an OK, the law re-
quircd that he should restore four oxen; but
we send the thief to the Penitentiary, and
the rightful owner is often cheated out of
the value of his animal. The law of Moses
permitted a man to have a dozen or more
wives; but here in this inidel land, it is
contrary to the municipal regulations of the
State to have but one, and she has to be TAX
Ell better for worse but more frequently
1corSe for better. 1t is different in the South,
and more in accordance with the word of
God. Solomon had three hundred wives and
seven hundred concubines. He was a man
after Gods own heart, and mine too. If |
lived in the South | might be a iS0JmOn-
if not in wisdom, in other respects. | could
have as many cOncubines as he had, if
could raise money enough to buy them, or
women enough to raise them from. 1t
grieves me that the peculiar institutions of
the South are not peculiar to Pennsylvania.
If a disobedient son was found guilty of
breaking the Sabbath he was stoned to death:
but who, in these degenerate times, ever saw
his son or his neighbours son put to
death in that wayi The Quakcrs are Sab
bath-breakers, and should all be stoned to
death, old and young. We have, as Pres !
bytcrians, degencrated much, ever since the
days of our Puritan fathers, who hung QUA
hers, drowned wizards, and burnt witches.
Would to God they had hung all the Qua
kcrs, from old WIN. Penn down to the Young
est disciple, except the body member aud
Proslavery Hicksites! They give as much
support to the cause of slavery as any other
people in the world; but | fear, / awfullv
fear, they will yet desert us. The anti-sla-
very Quakers are, | believe, the prime NOV
ers of this abolition which SO much disturbs
the 'quieP of the Churches, and cen nv

Dr. desire you should summon into my
presence, inStanter, about three hundred and
eighteen of the servants born in my house,
and bought with my money. ! wish to arm
them, and march a crusade against this IA
natical band of Quakers, and other Adolf
tlonlsts, who have risen up in these latter
days, bidding defiance to God and his s'pe-

may be, for DR.. ANDERSON, or DIR. CApERs,

DR.-Pshaw! ! have studied so much on |
this Abolitionism, and the disobedience of
our Church to the commandments of God, |
that my feverish brain has, for the time lost |
its equilibrium. John, bring me the Bible.
| want slaves, and l wish TO procure them in
Gods appointed way
John brings the Bible. The Doctor turns
to the twenty-flth chapter of LEvITIcus, and
reads the torty-fourth verse: "BOM thu band
men, and bond maids, which thou shall hare.
shall be Of the heathen Tint are round about
yo"i Of them shall ye buy JOndmen and bond
maidS."
Acting in accordance with the authority
found In the above quoted text, the Doctor
proceeds on board an AMERICAN SLAYER, and
sails Tor the 4heathen round about'-to Afri-
ca, the slaughter-house of fallen Christiani-
ty. When he reached the blood-stained
shores of that Inflated land, ! dreamed that
he met Bishop SoULE and ALEXANDER CAMP
BELL, whose cogItations had led them to the
same conclusion with himself. The Bishop
was busily engaged in driving a bargain
with a heathen-for we are commanded to
buy of the heathen-for five hundred slaves.
They were 'primc," worthy women, and
some of them pretty fair, being related to
slaveholding missionaries who were sent to
that country in the year 1924. The heather
asked the round sum of 500, 900 for the
lot; but the Bishop declared he would rive
but 100000. DIR. Junkin, after surveying
the lot, counted down the price, and the
slaves were pronounced his. As a matter
OF course, the numerous "Silrer h~andcugs,"
which had been voted to him as honorable
testimonials of his adhesion to slavery, were
placed upon their wrists, and they driven TO
the slave prisons for safe keeping. Bishop
Soule made a purchase of two hundred and
fifty, for winch he paid $4,000, these two
Cots were the only ones the heather Kings
were able to take in three or four successive
wars, in which were slaughtered near four
thousand men, women, and children.
Alexander Campbell in the mean time.
felt that his trip to Africa was about to prove
a failure. The Ong-headed, head long camel
was suddenly relieved by the following
thought snow i'll can prove by the word Of
God, that The rich heather of whom DIR. Jun
kin and Bishop Soulc made their purchases
have a right to sell them both, with all their
effects, | shall then own them and all their
slaves" So Alexander very learuedly steps
up to the heather merchants aud tells them
what is a fact, "that the Jews gave the name
