Il has been slid, and with some truth, that
labor-slying machinery instead Of being a
benefit to mankind is a curse as ii is general
ly applied, for it is in the hands of the OPP
pressJr, and under the control Of the capital
ist. Every discovery Of man, all that his in-
ventive genius calls into being, is at once
converted into a ietter for the limbs of his
brother, or shackles for his mind; and We
doubt whether the good which results from
such discoveries and inventions is not moro
than couaterbalanced by the evil which grows
Cat Of their perversion. The Magnetic Tel
cgrlph by which time and space are annihila-
TOD, AMI intel ligence transmitted with light
ming speed, has been shamclessly offered the
oppressor as a quick-footcd bloodhound TO
pursue the flying bondman. A cunning APP
peal is made to the pro-slavery spirit Of the
American people through the advertisement
Of the 'Magnetic Telegraph Company" of
which AMOS KENDALL is President. The
closing sentence Of the paragraph Of regula-
tons reads thus "fdciHties to be afforded tor
The apprehension gJugi!ires." Some may say
that this simply means f%ugitives from justice;
if so, why did not the company thus express
themselves! 1t means mote than fugitiyes
from justice, it includes those f~ugitivel
from injustice who are to be apprehended
ia accordance with the provisions of the U.
s. Constitution.
The meeting which put forth tho advertise
mentw was held in the city Of Washington, close
by the ''nigger pens" of democratic slavo-
mongers, within hearing of the voices of the
auctioneers who sell Gods image, and with
in sight of the office where tho peoples a.
gent writes out commissions for these deal
ers in human souls. Doubtless many of tho
stock holders in the company are slave-claim-
ants, who have frequent occasion to desire
to apprehcnd f~ugitives from their plantations.

and a union of mental and physical laws
And so long as this union exists, the violation
or obedience to those laws will have a uni
ted effect.
We come now to our second proposition,
which is slavery. Religion we have said is
productive of happiness, and if slavery is
productive Of m'sery, there can he no affinity
or union existing between them. We have
said that religion was obedience to the pigs
zealand mental, which includes the moral and
social laws. As the obedience of laws is
productive Of happiness, the violation Of them
is productive Of misery. And so far as sla-
very is a violation Of the above mentioned
laws, so far it is contrary TO all true religion.
For God, is a God of perfection, and of order.
Hence all his works must harnonize. That
which is physically right, is morally right,
and that which is socially right is morally
right, and nee UcrSq. As the married rela-
ton is Il social relation, it follows that it is
morally right. And so far as slavery is a vi
olaiion of this relation, it is irreligious. A
the relation between parent, and children is
a social relation, it is morally right. Hence
under The influence Of moral law, they are
raised up in the nurture and admonition Of
the Lord. Slavery separates husband and
wife, parents and children, consequently it is
immoral. aud irreligious. lnasmuch as s!a-
very makes goods and chattels, of the disci-
pies of Christ; it makes goods and chattrls
Of Him; "For inasmuch as We have done it
unto one If the least of my brethren, yr
have done it unto mc;'' consequently it is
morally wrong. As the interests Of slavery
force men and women to commit adultery, it
is i%mmorll, a violation Of the social laws, and
contrary 10 religion. Slavery, for the pur-
pose of keeping lis subjects in bondage bores
out the eyes of their intellect, ties its victims
nails, hand cuffs and throws them into dun
geons, anil sometimes takes the life of one
as an example to others. II works them
eighteen hours per day, and limits them to a
l'SSh Va N''h ." "NNN' E'' " N''' 10 va
ton of physical and mcntll laws; which is
morally wrong, and irreligious, that being
morally wrong, which is physically wrong.
And as the soul, spirit, or mind, is united to
mans physical organization; the effects Of
the violation of the laws established for the
government of man, during the existence of
this union, must c a united effect.
Slavery is as black as hell =! and as foreign
from religion. 1t begets iileness in the slave
holder; and idleness begets all other abomi-
nations. The Creator can glory in his works,
but mn cannot glorify him, except he has
voliiion or the power of choice. 1t follows
then as slavery robs lis subjects Of tlisvo!i-
ton or choice, that it is contrary to all moral
principle, and true religion. 1t is contrary
TO every principle Of humanity. Iii as diach
as the 6ha,&ns,s IF darkness! You cannot
touch it without being infected with its poi
sons.

that we can learn to the contrary, with the
full approval of the Helena Journal; and

though he may have deeply sinned, was
deeply sinned against.

DISCIpI,EISN-

AT a recent meeting which we held in a
Disciple meeting house a few miles south of
this place, a member of the church which
convencs there, stated a fict-or what he had
been informed was a notwithstanding the
slaveholding character Of that sect in tho
South. 1t was briefly this. A Disciple in
one OF the Southern States sold a slave,
and with part Of the proceeds of the sale,
wine was purchased for the communion; or
as another member said communion plate
was procured. The brother of the slave, who
was also a member of the church to which
the slave trader belonged, refused to partako
Of the sacrament, because, as he said, it
would be drinking his brothers blood. The
church unable to belr The continual rebuke OF
his presence, prosecuted him SO that he was
obliged to leave.
The friend who related this was John w.
Anderson, and being on the eve of removal
from the State, he had a short time before re-
quesied the church to give him a letter of
recommendation; no objection being made, it
was, in accordance with the usage of that
sect, understood that his request was grant
ed. Ate: the anii-slavery meeting he APP.
piled to the overscers for his letter; they re-
fused it, mainly on the ground that he had
made the above statement in our meeting,
although there WIS another objection of
which we shall presently speak. They did
not deny the huM Of the statement, but said
% it did not become a christian to relate such
Il story as that TO the world" In the course
of the discussion Of the church question at
the meeting above referred to, we enquired of
a prominent man among the Disciples of that
neighborhood, whether, when that church
spread its communion table it did not in ef-
feet invite to it all slaveholding Disciples
The person to whom we put the query SEEM
ed unwilling to answer, and thereupon An
derson responded in the affirmative. This
was the ground of the other objection we hint
ed at. for the overseers said, ii was improper
for a believer to state to the world that such
was the practice of the christiln church, and
by SO doing he showed he was upholding a
tribe of infilels."
These statements Anderson made TO US on
the eve of his departure, and wo trust that
on mature consideration he will not regret
that he has gone on his way unbardened with
a recommendatory letter from a pro-slavery
church.

cupancy Of the Oregon territory by the
two governments, somewhat different from
The resolution passed by the House. Ga
the 18th the resolution Of the Senate was
taken up by the House and after some a.
mendment was passed. In the Senate OH
the Goth the resolution Of the Senate as a.
mended by the House was taken up; after
some remarks By several Senators II was
decided that they would not agree to the
amendments made by the House. yeas 81 =,
nays 30. Ga the same day the House was
informed that the Senate disagreed to their
amendment. After some action BY the
House on the subject, they insisted on their
amendment. The Senate on the 2lst Il.
gain took up the subject and by vote of
ayes 20 to 81 nays, refused to recede from
their amendment. The Senate then by
ballot appointed committee of conference
consisting of Messrs. Berrien, Corwin and
Haywood, to meet the Committee of the
House, consisting Of Messrs. Ingersoll,
Owen and billiard. The committee, after
having the subject under consideration, re.
ported on the 23d tha, they had agreed,
