CONGREGATIONAL STATE CONVEN-
TTON

This body met at Danville last week. In an
other column will be found the letter of a CORES
pondent, written at the close of the first day, and
received just our last pa per had gone to press.
From the North Star we learn that this body
took no action on the subject Of siGcery! We are
surprised and panied at this IT, in the days of
their darkness and ignorance, God winked at their
silence upon this subject, what can be said in its
justification under the meridian light of the pres
ent day, when the finger of God plainly points out
the duty of his children to open their mouths for
the dImb--to plead the cause Of the poor and
needy millions in our land who are brutaized
chattezed heathenized by the combined action
of church and State S-when thousands of their
brethren in Christ are stretching forth their mana
cled limbs, and pleading, with all the eoquence Of
the deathess spirit, for the bread and the waters
ofeternal life !-when the great body of the Amer
lean church is endeayorng to wrest the blessed
Gospel into the support Of system of slavery
which is the vleSt spawn Of hell? We ask the
ministers who attended this convention, in all hon
esty and sincerity of heart, why it was that no ac-
ton was taken on the subject of slavery Did you
not sympathize with the poor slave' Did you not
dsOpprove of the decision of the late Presbyterian
General Assembly, that slavery was not condemn
ed by the teachings of the Saviour, and that it
was not discipinable offencs' Then why not
faithfully reprovo them instead of welcoming the
Representative of that body to your pulpit, your
communion table, and your hearts,, and thereby
suffering and countenancing this most blasphem-
Gus sin upon them' Do you not believe the ef-
forts now being put forth by the church to make
God liar, by proving him to he the author and
supporter of a system which destroys the souls
and bodies of the many, to pamper the Iusts of the
few, while he has said he is " no respecter of per.
sons" is the most fruitful source of infidelty Al
the present dOy3 If SO, why was you not faithful
10 God and the souls of menl So far as we are
informed you cannot charge your want of action
upon fanatcal, hot-headed abotionsts, who
were anxious to go TOO far, and to do too much.
None such were there. You were left to your owr
volition, under your own vine and fg-tree Their

any heather on the earth---Well may the COM
mittee say they "announce this appalling fact
with unfeigned sorrow ITO the question, what
can be done, they answer, that they care not
prepared to submit any definite plan for the re-
ligious instructions of the people of color within
our bounds" "They see not how this vast OBJ
iect can be accomplished" Nincty,fUe Thru
sand hcdthens, within the limits of small branch
of the presbyterian church. and no way to reach
theml No, they cannot be reached through the
Barriers which slavery creates. 1t is idle to
think of it, He who expects the light OF the
gospel to penetrate the thick dark folds which
slavery wraps around its victims, may look for
the verdure of spring in mid winter. But why
cannot they be instructed and christianzedl
The committee say, eve have neither the men
or the means. We have not the requisite in
strumentalities for imparting the knowledge Of
the gospel to vast numbers of our white popula'
ton how is it possible then for us to confer this
blessing upon our slaves" PROFESSIONALLY this
is serious difficulty. Poverty is the certain
attendant of such mass of ignorance and mora
darkness. Slavery makes ninety-fve per cent
of the colored people heathens, and leaves the
rest too poor to help them or even to help them
selves. Moreover slavery lives upon the sefsf
passions, and nourishes these to an overgrowth
and leaves the benevolent principles too blinc
and weak for efficient action.
We have here an actual and appalling state o
things, large portion of our country overspreac
with deep, and as things now are, impenetrabl'
moral darkness, and within that territory, no
enough of moral strength to roll back the cloud
or even to throw across it the bow ofhope. Hell
then must come from abroad, and it is easy will
such facts before us, to answer the question, -
"what have the North to do with slavery" Jus
what they have to do with every thing else tina
wars against the gospel and human salvation
seek its removal, by every lawful and promis
ing expedient. And while our southern bretl
rem are sending through the ranks of their per
dshing thousands, the doleful report that nothn
can be DONE let brethren----christian answe
that something can be done, must be done; tina
slavery can be removed, and that in this gospe
land, with the helps which the gospel and reaso
and conscience furnish, this enormous system q
oppression and wrong can be exposed, aud mad
hateful, and beren of friends. Then it will cease
and the gospel, and education, and prospert
will come in. And who is there, that in such
cause cannot work with his tongue, his pen, hi
money with the whole weight of his moral mhu
encel Who is there that has not his responsible
tiles in this matters who will not meet them, a
he aims to do in other departments of christia
and benevolent actionl

is the moral thermOmeter-lhe pulse ofthe patient.
When at the place appointed for suppliants find
more doctors than prayers think the patient is in
bad way, especially when Gas is usually the doc
tors disagree. Thus it was this morning. Where
men met to pray, men got up TO talk. Really it
seemed to be as hard for priests to do their own
praying as for Henry Clay to "bIack his own
boots" They could talk well and tell ten thou
sand things that should be done but to think of
doing them themselves, was quite another thing.
No one recommended US all to get down upon our
knees and confess cur sins, and break down before
God and pray and wrestle with Him who loves
the broken and contritc, hut knows the proud afar
off; but all seemed DESTROYS to doctor up them
selves. Some mourned, doubt not; but there
was a Stiffness, broad cloth and starch influence.
that seemed to say I" amt used to this kind OF
work" So, all at once, we all got up and fed
and so escaped ''getting down" for the present

not. May God send a redeeming influence for hi.

DEATH or GEN. JACKsoNI

Most of our last weeks edition contained the
announcement of the melancholy, though not UNI
expected event, of the death of Andrew Jackson.
He expired at his residence on Sunday evening,
the 9th inst, aged 49, 1t is said, he took an affec-
tionate leave of his friends his family and domes-
tics, and remained clear and uncouded in his SEN
ses to the last moment; dying in the utmost calm
ness and confidence in a happy Immortality thro
a divine Redeemer. OF course, the land is filled
with mourning, for the name of Andrew Jackson
has long neen familiar to the American people; anc
while there may be conflicting views as to the pro
priety of some of his public acts, most will accorc
to him desire to promote the best good of TIL
country. LET his virtues be gratefully remember
ed, and his errors forgotten, so far as they can b
with justice to the living

sLAvEHoLDING CRUELTY.

We are often told, when speaking of the cruel
infection of punishment upon slaves, that masters
are restrained by law from any thing more than
" moderate correction" such as We bestow upon
our children. This thing has been tested.
Sometime since, nero boy was found in jal in
New Orleans, who had been whipped daily by or
der Of his master, until his whole back was a mass
of corruption! He was taken to the hospital, and
at the end Of four weeks was yet unable to leave
The matter was submitted to the Attorney Gener.
al, and after due investigation he has arrived al
the following shocking conclusion:
From the N. o. Tropic, June 10.
" The Attorney General has given itaas his o.
pinion that there is no law by which the owner oil
the slave Auguste, or the jaior under whose charge
the brutal punishment was inflicted upon him, car
be reached
This is the case of the little nuatto bow who
was sent TO the police Jail of the First Municipali.
", and there classified, day after day, until his
back was one mass Of raw, trembling, and par,
putrd flesh"

Washington County,

The Liberty Convention at this place on the
4th of July we hope will he remembered and fully
attended. Candidates for County Senators arc
then to be nominated, and such measures adopted
as seem to be necessary to disseminate our princi-
pies throughout the County. The address of Mr.
Clarke will undoubtedly be worth journey from
the remotest town in the county. The Fourth
should be held sacred to Liberty by every Ameri-
can freeInan--and how can it be spent better than
in devising means to extend this nestimable boon
" throughout all the land, to ALL the inhabitants
thereof"

Annexation and SlaUery.--Hon John ? Hale,
the man who ought to be in the next Congress,
and would if New-Hampshire were not a Slave
State, gave the following just illustration Of the
Slavery aspect of the question in one of his late
Speeches:
"He would suppose (what was very true) that
there was well-conducted temperance hotel at
Exeter and also another (which was not theface
where intemperance, gambling, and vice were
encouraged, and made it public nuisance The
keeper of the gambling-hOuse proposes to the
proprietor of the moral establishment to be an.
nercd, and to carry on the two concerns togeth'
er, by which he shows they can make Profta-
bic business. But, says the temperance man 4
am opposed to swindling, gambling, and intern
perance' 'Poh! replies the other, that has
nothing to do with III shall swindle just as
many men, and have just as much drinking,
whether am annexed to you or not' Now,
what would you think of the temperance man il
he should agree TO thisl 4 would take it, he
might say, without swinding and drinking, if l
could; but as ! can't, will not take it, swindling,
gambling and ALL; and this he said was correct
ilIastration oftaking Texas with Slavery, because
Ue eOpld not get It without"

THE "TRUE LIBERTY PARTY" OF
CONNECTICUT.

This party, in some States, is not very eff
cient in acting for equal rights, where it has the
power to act Its professions are therefore
worthless. We will now cite the instance Of
Connecticut, where the wings have large polit-
ica ascendency. Hopes had been entertained
that if the wings came into power, being so much
more liberal than the democrats, under their au-
6picies the colored disfranchsed citizens of Con-
nectcut might obtain their just rights, and thus
all the New Engvnd States would present to
the example of their sister States the spectacle
Of Equal Political Rights. The result of these
Anticpations is seen by the following article from
Ahe Christian Freeman
" Gun DIsFRANcHIsED CITlzENs.-On Mon
day last, the Judiciary Committee reported adj
versely to the petition Of VIM. Hopkins and 9TH
ors, for an extension of the right of suffrage to
that class of our citizens who are now dislran-
chised on account of their color. The report
was unanimously accepted and resolution
passed for leave to Withdraw the petition. One
member who would have voted in the negative,
was absent at the time. We expected nothing
better from the Democrats, but the Wings have
made such loud professions of being I" the true
Liberty party" and all that that We were not
quite prepared to see them so unanimous in their
prescription of class of their fellow citizens on
account of their color. Perhaps we ought not
TO be surprised for there is no Presidential cleo
ton coming on next fall and the cajoling aboli-
tionists into the party, is not so pressing as it
was year ago. This unanimity of the Wing
Legislature, however, in voting for the continued
disfranchsement Of our colored citizens, furnish
es good index of the amount and quality Of
their love of impartial liberty, and how well quail
flied they are to wage war against the Slave
Power! What aboltion.st will trust them after
this 7 What man who regards the subversion o.
the Slave Power as work to be done, will hercaf
ter rely upon either the Wing or Democratic par.
ty to do it2 five trust them in questions between
Liberty and Slavery, we trust them to the inju.
ry of the former They are not reliable; and the
sooner abolitionsts make up their minds to dc
their own work, in a simple and direct way
without turning aside for banks and tariffs OIL
sub-treasuries, or any mere financial issue, the
sooner and the better will their work be accom-.
plished"

BIRNEY ON TEXAS!

BIRNEY, the abolition candidate for the pres-
dency, offered the following resolution at the re-
cent Abolition Convention in the city Of New
York:
Resolved, LIST. That the powers Of Con-
gress are strictly limited by the Constitution
I'd That the constitution confers no power in
terms to acquire in any way foreign territory
Sd. That the avowed object of annexng Texas
to the Union-the confirmation of slavery is
shameless announcement for us to make before
the world. 4th. That the annexation of Texas
would be direct breach of the Constitution; an
inexcusable violation of treaty of friendship
with Mexico, and cowardly abuse of superior
power toward weak neighbor and ally, that
must forever stigmatise us as faithless and dis
honest people,"
We have not word to say against the doc
trlne of these resolutions. 1t is sound, and well
expressed, 81 Rochester Democrat, (Whig)
The Magnetic TeEgraph--The efforts to es-
tablish Magnetic Telegraphs, touching at the
principal cities throughout the country, are now
likely to be successful. The cost of construc-
ton in this country is estimated at $3.50 per.
mile. We shall soon have Boston bound to New
Orleans, and New-York to the great West. An.
other line is In contemplation, to be called the
Atlantic and Mississippi Route. 1t will COM
mence at Philadelphia Connecting with the lines
from New-York and Washington and run AZ
as to touch all the State Capitals and large

route to st. Louis. Branch lines will run South

Kentucky and Tennessee, and to the cities be-
