TEMPERANCE,

The black demon Of lntemperaEce has not for Il
long time past presented holder front in this viii
lage than at the present time, Some who have
been reformed have turned again to their cups.
Others who have been considered moderate drink
ers have become bold in drunkenness. Temper
ance men are slumhering and the enemy has well
nigh taken possession of the field; even our tenn
perance neighbor, the Waterman, has a very in
viting advertisement for some of our gentlemen
soul-destroye and pick-pockets When will the
community frown upon such men, and show them
up in their true light as being than the man
who robs another OF his money? In one case the
individual is imprisoned, though he has only taken
that which can easily be made up again, and per-
haps only one person suffered by it, In the other
case, though he is carrying on trade that is eat
ing up the very vita5 of socety-makin9 the rich
poor and the poor still poorer-turning affection
ate husbands and kind. hearted fathers into vaga-
bonds and demonstrating men of character,
property, friends and influence, and then taxing
the sober part of the community for the expense
of the murders, cases in courts of justice and to
support paupers which are the direct result ofhis
system of wholesale robbery, that he is carrying
on in high places, by the sanction of law, yet he is
regarded a respectable citizen, with heart and
soul like other men. Even temperance newspaper
publishers, for paltry sum, will advertise his
poisonous stuff and help make the business more
profitable, and temperance men will patronise these
rum holes of this fashionable body and soul killer,
if they can make one cent by It,
Why are temperance taverns so poorly patron
ized' 1t is because temperance men have no fix
ed principle, no heartfelt conviction of duty
How long shall these things be' Will men forev-
er slumber over the suderings and Indebtedness of
drunkenness, and help swell the current that is
now rapidly carrying thousands into drunkald's
grave and drunkar' 3 hell?

the free states, realize the importance of every
vote given against Shareholders for Office in its eff
fleets to encourage others to do likewise. and to
show that one man, at least, remembers and sup
ports those eternal principles of equal rights,
which formed the basis of our revolution and gov
ernent!
IS. How strange, that the two great political
parties in the free States should litgate strenu
ousy the tariff question: and let the slave power
and slave interest glide peaceably along, when all
the difficulty about the tariff arises from the oppo
sition of slave labor free labor in their political
tendencies!
%. How strange it is, that such multitudes, in
the free states, are so devoted to their respective
parties, aud rely with such confidence upon the
publications Of theirrespeclve party gazettes, that
they manifest no anxiety to know what may be
known of the evils of slavery, in the degradation
and misery of the slaves, destructive of tho very
liberties of which we have long boosted.
80. How strange it is, that the members in Con-
gress from the free states, having ma iority of
forty seven in the House, should not only let but
help the Shareholders to admit Florida into the
Union, rs slave state, with constitution which
aims to secure the perpetuiy of slavery, which is
wholly the reverse of that republican form of gov
eminent required by the constitution ofthe United
States
81 How strange it is, that the people of the free
States view slavery as located away off in the
south, and often ask what we at the north have to
do with slavery, while the great salaries, going in
almost infinite dsproportion to slOvehoders-alI
the concessions to slave labor, in our treaties with
foreign nations-all patient and silent submission
to the aggressions Of the slave power, extending
their field of labor, and increasing their strength
in the senate, and in all departments of the Unit
ed States governmental the moneys going from
the treasury of the United States to the support of
slavery, whether directly or iudirecty-and last,
but by means the least, all the ballots cast for
shareholders for office in the United States govern
ment, together with all exertions and influences to
procure ballots to be thus cast-all these things
couspire to build up, extend, and perpetuate the
system of slavery, and keep three millions Of hu-
man beings in ignorance and bondage, while we in
the free states have in return, the pleasure as well
as the necessity of paying more than two thirds of
all the monies thus expended for the support of
slavery, and of bearing the sin and reproach of
thus supporting slavery, and the justly reproach-
full taunt Of being the first to establish by covenant
and proclamation, on parchment, the genuine
principles of national liberty, and of being the last
to carry those principles into full effect.

prudence have been bestowed upon him by his
beneRcent Creator for the most noble and-gori-
0as purposes--certainy not for oppression; for
il is selfevldent truth, that he who is most adj
vanced in Intellectual attainments is most obliged
to acts of virtue.
Where, then, does this supposed right exist
The answer is plainly, nowhere, Slavery is an
ideal monster-the offspring of avarice and cru
city Justice demands the proclamation of uni
versal liberty The justice of God demands it,
and the justice to the dead, and justice to the
living. The blood of millions Of murdered VIC
tins cries to heaven for vengeance, and the cries
of the down-trodden and oppressed still enter in
to the ears of the Lord God Of Sabaoth The
thunders of Divine vengeance murmur above
and will soon break upon the nation, we fear
unless averted by our breaking every yoke, anC
letting the oppressed go free Prize Essay il

THE CHURCH,

The Church on earth was designed to b! type or
syulboI of the Church triumphant in Heaven. God
has delegated his chosen people all the real NOR
al p0,cer there is in the Universe. But how has
that power been perverted. Instead of being used
for the purpose of reforming and purifying man
kind and alternating human suffering, it has to a
great extent been the means of running souls and
clothing Zion with mourning, for what, but the
backslidings of professed Christians, the inconsist-
entcies of ministers and the spurious christianity,
that to an alarming extent has become inc0rpo-
rated into the nominal church, has shorn the
church of her strength and beauty rasied her ener
gies s. brought moral death over the lairest pros
poets of Zion, 1t is this that has made iufdes K
frozen at the fountain the warm life-bood that was
gushing forth FIRE y from the young believers
heart The luke warm spirit, the worldly policy,
the want Of brotherly love and real humanity in
the church, has deprived her Of her hold upon the
respect and confidence of the world, and made her
almost powerless in bringing men under the be-
nign influence Of the Gospel,
1t is intimated that there are more than 4,
900 900 of prOfssed christians in the United States,
enough to have converted the world long ago, and
made it perfect paradise, Why has not the work
been done, s. suffering and sorrow made to cease
One prominent reason is, because those who bear
the name OF Christ have had fellowship with the
system of slavery, the eternal foe of Christianity.
Because as Il body, they have retarded the prog
ress of many of the reforms Of the day, by oppos-
ing the principles Of humanity and Liberty, by
lending their influence to elevate tyrants and OPP
pressors to Offices of trust and power and by dis
honorng God and wounding His cause, for selfish
purposes, at the expense Of Christian character
and IN rial integrity.
For this reasonGod has frowned upon the nom-
nal Church and left it to reap the reward ofs fol-
y and wickedness. Ministers have lowered the
standard of primitive prca:hing,Sl consulted what
the people toGnt more than what they need. The
Church has been trained to inactivity and worldly
mndedness, and it is high time TO break the spell
that has bound her in strong and willing chains.

OF MEXICO AGAINST AN
NEXATION

The Washington Correspondent of the Eve
ming Post has procured from a member of the
Diplomatic corps at Washington to whom it was
officially communicated copy ofthe formal Pro-
test of Col Almonte, Mexican Plenpotentary
against the passage Of the Texas Resolution.
The following is the Posts translation 1t will be
seen that the reports that Almonte had used harsh
language, threatened an appeal to the People of
the United States, &c were entirely unfounded !;
TRANSLATION.
The undersigned, &c sc has the honor to
address the Hon John C. Calhoun, &c &c. for
the purpose of makmg known to him the profound
regret with which he has seen that the General
Congress of the Union has passed law consen-
ting to and admitting into the American confed-
Grafton the Mexican province of Texas.
The undersigned had hattered himself that in
this question the good sense and sound opinions
of the citizens most distinguished and experien-
ced in the management of public affairs in this
Republic would have prevailed in the delibera-
tons of the legislative body, and of the Union,
but unfortunately this has not been the case and,
contrary to his hopes and most sincere wishes,
he secs consummated by the American Govern
ment an act of aggression the most lust which
can be recalled in the annals of modern history
such as the spoiation of friendly nation, like
Mexico, of considerable part of her territory
For these reasons the undersigned, in fulfil
ment of his instructions, finds himself obliged tc
protest. as he does accordingly protest, in the
most solemn manncr in the name Of his Govern
ment against the law passed on the 2Sth of last
month, by the General Congress of the United
States, and sanctioned on the first of the present
month by the President of the said States, by
which the province of Texas, an integral part o
the Mexican territory, is allowed to be admitted
into the American Union.
The undersigned, in like manner, declares
that the aforesaid law can in no manner inyalidatt
the right which the Mexican nation possesses t.
recover the aforesaid province of Texas, of which
she is now unJusty despoiled, and which RICH
she will sustain and enforce at all times, b,
whatever meanes are in her power.
The undersigned will say in conclusion to III
Hon. Secretary of State of the United States, il
order that he may be pleased to inform the Pres
dent of the said States of the same, that in con
sequence of the law against which he has jus
protested, his mission to this Government is ter
minated from to-day. Consequently. the under
signed requests the Hon. Secretary of State tt
be pleased to send him his passports, as he ha
arranged to quit this city as soon as possible 70

The census of the United States has been Ia
zen six times, at intervals of ten years, since
we have been government At the first CEN
sus there were slaves in all the states but Massa-
,chusetts. Since 1900, the slaves in what are
called the free States, have been gradually redu-
eced from 4O,375 in population of l,96S, ass,
to 100 in population of 9,729,s54
In the slave states, in 1890, there were 657,
437 slaves; by the census of 1910 there were
then 2,485 ,6S3. The whole population of the
slave States in 1890, was 1871 $50, of which
the slaves were then 50 per cent; in 1910 they
were but 81 per cent For the last ten years,
the maximum of natural increase has fallen to "a
per Gent, from the extraordinary mortality grow
ing out ofthe suferings incidental to the Ameri-
can domestic slave trade.

THRILLING INCIDENT.

Several winters since, when the Ohio river
above Cincinnati had been for some time frozen
over, a sudden thaw brought down the ice In
large quantities, forming gorge opposite the
mouth of the Licking. For some days the ice
was SO firm as to admit of free passage by pedes-
trians, but at length it became soft and porous,
and in some places disappeared beneath the sur
face of the stream The passage was now con-
sidered unsafe, and had not been used for several
days when one evening near twilight poor flu
gitve, hard pressed by her pursuers, rushed down
the bank on the Kentucky side, and plunged
fearlessly into the dark mass Office q turbld wa
ter. A child oftwo years thrown across her shout
ders, chung to her neck, leaving both her hands
free to aid in the fearful struggle.
For moment she paused. Before her rolled
the angry river, chatting against the masses Of ice
that obstructed its course, every moment sweep
ing away broken fragments, and rendering the
passage more pcrilous; behind her, close on her
track, were her merciless foes, with eager ges-
lures and loud threats, warning her not to pro-
coed. She needed them not Better perish in
that dark mass of waters, than live slave. Hel
child, the only tie that bound her to life, clung
to her neck, and she felt that it were better tc
die thus than return to hopeless bondage On
still on, she pressed, leaving at each step an I'M
massable gulf between her and her pursuers She
reaches the shore---she is safe Not one of al
who witnessed with breathcss interest her peril
ous flight, but would have protected her at eve
ry hazard, 50 deeply were they moved by her in
trepd courage Her enemies were completely
toiled. boat would have been crushed in ;
moment in the whirling masses of ice, and they
stood baAled and irresoIutc, hoping that some
kindred spirit on the opposite shore would seize
her as soon as she landed. But no! Those
who, under ordinary circumstances, have no pity
for the slave, were softened at the sight of tina
weak woman, venturing where even the strong
heart of man might well quail, and stalking life
itself against the hope of freedom. She wa
protected and sped onward to a land of liberty
where she, with her child, found refuge
