g Noble EXnlOilS."

The Cincinnati Advertiser speaks of the
1" noble exploits" of one of the Ohio Volun-
teers-Samuel Myers. At the battle of Mon
terey he was wounded by a ball which pass
ed through the bone of the chin and lod ged
in the under flesh making a dreadful wound.
He had the ball extracted and fired several
times before he would suffer himself 10 be
that "he ,CaS a
dead man, and id if he didn't 1cant 10 Hill
some Of Them" These are the - noble er-
pOiis" which the Advertiser publishes to the
world. That paper has singular material out
OF which to manufacture " noble exploits or
a g noble hero.-Irue Democrat.
While the True Democrat, an Anti-Slave-
ry Wing paper, speaks thus of the maraud-
ers who left Ohio TO fight the battles of sla-
very; the Cincinnati Herald, a Liberty
party paper, labors through near ly a column
to show that these Ohio cut threats exhibit
ed at Monterey, that kind Of bulldog cour-
age, which made them careless Of their own
lives, in their eagernoss 10 murder the Next
cans, and that they were no towards as had
been charged upon them. In doing this,
the Herald quotes from the Advertiser the
paper referred to by the Democrat.
The Herald has pursued a very singular
course in relation to these marauding cut
threats. 1t opposed the war, but that noble
officer and his brave army must not be ieop-
ardised. 1t opposed the war, but if England
or France were to assist the Mexicans, it
would have every man, who believes in the
rightluIness of self-defense, spurned from the
country, if he did not fly to beat them back.
1t opposed the war, but these Ohio cut-throats
who assisted in the Monterey murders must
be vindicated from the charge that they were
not perfectly wolfsh and very doggish, on
that occasion.
Does the Herald, like the D. DIS in ref
erence to slavery, wish to be understood as
being opposed to the war in the abstract,
but not opposed to those who fight it out.

COMMUNICATIONS.
"Wesleyan Consistency" Again.

"While many Of the Wesleyans within the
bounds Of Allegheny Conference, would
shrink back with horror from the act of legal-
izing slavery, they do, we believe, fellowship
those as Christians, who do legalize il; and
while the larger portion Of their Meeting
Houses are open TO the slave in the person Of
his representative and advocate, fro Houses
ut least, within the bounds of said conference,
ARE closed, viz: the Meeting House at Meso-
potamia and at Cuyahoga Falls. Quite re-
Gently, we are informed, the doors of their
house at the Falls were closed against our
friends Lefiingwell and Bassett."
The above is from the Anti-Slavery Bugle
Of Nov. eth. Now, Mr.. Editor, all we ask
90 far as we are concerned at the Falls, is, TO
have the matter appear in q clear light. The
Wesleyan Church at Cuyaboga Falls has not
been closed against the advocates Of the slave,
or the slave either; as both have occupied
the house, and can always occupy IT 10 plead
the cause of the oppressed but the friends
do not think it always advisable TO open the
house, and get up a meeting for every person
that comes along. We have already been
injured by introducing those on to the Anti
Slavery platform, who were not qualified to
do justice to the cause of humanity. True,
my friends Lefingwell and Bassett, sent an
appointment here for Saturday evening and
Sunday. The Wesleyans having three SER
vices on Sunday, their house ,cas not asked
for; and further, Mr.. S. b. Turner volunteer
ed to supply a house and procure a congrega-
ton, and wrote to my friend Lefingwell to
that effect. The Lyceum building in this
village is open for all such meetings, and Mr..
Turner procured that for them. The Wes-
leyans are willing TO open their house always
TO those who can do honor to the cause of
the oppressed.
l personally urged upon my friend Letting
well, TO come down to our Anti-Slavery Meet
ings, and give US his views, and if we are
not so far advanced as we should be, let US
have the light.
Yours for Humanity.

JUDGE EdmnndS' Decision.
THE HERALD AND PHILANTHRO-
PIST'S COMMENTS THEREON.

PIST'S COMMENTS THEREON.
Our first rage this week is principally &C.
cupied with Judge Edmunds' decision, TO-
gether with the editorial from the Herald and
Philanthropist, reviewing that decision.
We regard both of these documents of
sufficient importance to occupy the space
they do, and especially do we commend the
views of the editor Of the Herald and Phi
lanthropist to the careful attention and con-
sideration Of the reader.
Perhaps it is generally known to the read
ers of the Bugle, that some time back, in its
contests with wing and democrat, the Liber-
ty party laid down the broad principle, that
"we must not do evil that good may come
of it; and that this principle was regarded
by many of the members of that party, as
the Gibraltar of their defense. Especially
did they contend for it, when the wings
called upon them to vote for Henry Clay, to
prevent the annexation of Texas, and an ex-
tension of slavery. 1t was then maintained
by Liberty party men, that to vote for Henry
Clay was to do an evil act; and upon the
principle of not doing evil that good may
come of it, some maintained that, even if the
election of Henry Clay would prevent the
annexation of Texas, they would not be jus-
tilted in voting Tor him--that he was a slave
holder, and to vote for him, was to sanction
slaveholding. He was in favour of the
maintenance of slavery, therefore to vote fol
him, was to vote for its maintenance.
Had these Liberty men advocated those
principles, as a governing principle of their
own conduct, they would, under a change Of
circumstances, still continue to advocate it,
If they advocated it uPon the mere grounds Of
policy, to get those who wish to be govern
ed by those principles to vote their ticket,w
would, without doubt, look for them to change
their policy to suit circumstances.
The circumstances did change, and with
the change of circumstances, changed, to a
great extent the policy of the Liberty party
men. The American Anti-Slavery Society,

All, VI illt Il'clllbilo SodAiN NV , u
to me they do not seem to touch the ques-
ton at issue.
We may ask government for many things
on the ground Of natural right, nearly all
said in your reply goes to show that we may
ask men TO give up a wicked oath which no
one denies.
When we ask a man TO do any thing, we
virtually ask him 10 do all that is necessary
in order to accomplish it.
Can / ask a man 10 act under a wicked
oath without asking him to remain under his
wicked oath!
When ] sit down with mcn-thieves ard
murderers, and agree TO abide by the laws
We together shall make, do ! not practically
admit their fitness to l~egislate ! Is not this
agreement a wicked one? Does it not make
the 'reply" inapplicablel
J. C. MARSHALL.
We see not why friend Marshall should
consider the reply to his article in our paper
of the 2Oth, as inapplicable.
His position was, that We cannot, without
wrong, ask a Government like ours, to do
any act, however just or desirable that act
opposition to this sentiment applicable 1t
seems TO US that most Of them, TO say the
least, were strictly so.
We are told above that we may ask Gov
eminent for many things, on the ground of
natural right. This is giving up. the whole
question. Every thing that abo!itionists, in
their petitions, have asked for, may be de-
manded on this ground. Is it not the natur-
al right of the colored man to enjoy life, lib
erty, and the pursuit of happiness? If any
thing can be demanded on the ground Of nat
ural right, it seems to us we may ask for the
oppressed slave the restoration Of his plum
dcred rights.
The question, whether we can ask n man
10 act under a wicked oath, without asking
him to remain under that oath, need not be
a difficult one for J. G. NJ. to answer, what
ever it may be for others. If he can right
fully ask the agent of government to mend a
broken bridge if he can demand of the gov
eminent the payment of the claim he holds
against it if he can demand a hearing for
the person who is falsely imprisoned if he
can 90 TO the postmaster and ask for a let
ter ;-if he can ask all these things rightfully,
we see not why he cannot ask liberty, and
natural justice for the slave, IN the same
grounds.
We think, therefore, that the arguments
used in reply TO ]. c. Ms former article,
were strictly applicable. There are several
other things we would like to say in this
connection, but we have not room for any
thing further at present. ].

From the True American.
An Appeal TO all the Followers of Christ
in The American Union,
R &" 4 o % s

To all the adhcrents of the Christian religion
Catholic and Protestant, in the American Union,
the writer ofthis article would respectfully rep
resent, that he is but i single individual of hum
bic p %ensions, struggling with honest zeal
for tlrHlberties ofhiS country and the common
rights of all mankind. He sets up no claims
TO piety or purity of life, but whilst he is him
self subject to all the infirmities of our COM
mon nature, he believes in an omnipotent
and benevolent God, overriding the universe
by fixed and eternal laws. He believes that
mans greatest happiness consists in a wise I'M
Outstanding and a strict observance of all the
laws Of his being, moral, mental, and physical,
which are best set forth in the Christian code
of ethics. He believes that the Christian re-
liglon IS the truest basis of justice, mercy, ruth
and happiness known among men. As u pol
itician especially does he regard Christian NOR
atty as the sole basis of national and c%onstitu-
tional liberty, He believes that the liberty of
conscience was the antedote of civil liberty, and
that to Chris. anity did our fathers the emf
grafton from the Old World and our national
independence in the New, He believes that
there Is now crisis in the affairs Of our nation
which calls for the united efforts of all good
men to save us from dishonor and ruin.
Slavery is our great national sin, and must
be destroyed or we are lost. From a small cloud
not larger than a mans hand it has overspread
the whole Heavens. Three millions of our fcl,
low men, all (four religion be not a fable) chill
dreu Of the same Father, are held in absolute
servituded and the most unqualified despotism.
BY a strange oversight or selGavenging Grimm
atty Of our fathers, an anti-republican, unequal,
sham representation has given the slayeocracy
a concentrated power, which subjects the addi-
tional fifteen millions of whites of this nation to
the caprice and rule Of some tmO Auadred and
.ffg thousand shareholders. They monopolize
the principal offices of honor and profit, control
our foreign relations and internal policy Of econ
onltl progress. They have forced us into un-
MISREPRESENTATION bad faith-and large and UNI
NECESSARY expenditures of money. They have
vlolited time after time the National and State
Contributions. They have trampled under foot
all olthe cardinal principles of our inherited lib
erty4freedom of the press-liberty of speech
trial y lury-the habeas corpus and that clause
Of the Constitution which gives to the citizens
of the fyeral States the rights and privileges of
citizens Of each State. They have murdered

.SoiHng.-" Soiling, Oh feeding milch COWS
on green fodder, though highly approved by
many, is not p~ractised to the most useful extent
in this country. Usually, every season, the dairy
suffers several weeks, in, consequence of 'parch.

may be effectually prevented by soiling in the
b%arnyard or stall, and a large quantity ofmanure
saved, that, dropped in the field, will be in
measure wasted. An Essex Farmer, by thi.
process, kept up the milk of his COWS during
the most trying period of the past summer, and
found ample remuneration for the trouble, in the
extra receipts of the dairy. The product of {
single acre will suffice for ten or fifteen COWS
and give them their fll.' Farmers who are de,

where he soon died at ten years of age of inhu

THE FTRE-SEDE.
Character Formed in Early Life.
BY PROF. GAUSEN.

The idea we wish to impress upon the minds
ofour readers, and especially upon the minds Of
parents, Sunday school teachers, and children
themselves, is this; that of all periods of our life,
that of childhood and youth is by far the most
interesting and important. Then character
generally foimed-then, the everlasting destinI
is not only begun, but often actually fixed, fol
veal or wo. What one is in youth, he Is apt I'd
be in his mature years, in his old age, on his
death-bed, and for ever. His outward habit
may be changed and modified but his hear
ordinarily remains the same. His future prinl
ciples, feelings, and prospects, bear the same
relation to those of his youth, that the streams
ola mighty river bear the source from which it
took its rise, among the mountains. Reforma-
ton, regeneration, conversion, are always posi-
BILE; but they take place very rarely in old aoe.
and eren when they do take place at that period
of life, the habits and feelings Of earlier DAYS,
however changed and corrected, still color and
even control the life. In this respect, what
Wordsworth says POLITICALLY, is true in fact:
"The child is father to the man"
The day rests in the bosom Of the morning (;
the rose is bound up in the bud the oak lies IN
the acorn; summer and autumn are contained
in spring. So the life and destiny of the man
are goncI ally wrapped up in the heart OF the chlId
or boy. That little fellow there, looking up so
PLEASANTLY and gratefully in his mothers face, as
she tells him of Jesus and the great salvation,
is, perhaps, truly converted. Like Timothy,
from a child he may know the scriptures. His
little leart, perhaps, has been softened by divine
love. He does not know much; but he can
love, he can hope, he can obey. He grows up,
and the world seizes him; but he can never for
get his mother, nor his mothers prayers. Her
image is before his eyes, even in scenes of folly,
upbrsiding him for sin. Anew the Spirit OF
God touches his heart. He breaks away from
the world. He weeps, he prays, he repents
and his child's heart, so soft, so calm, SO salts
fed, 20 grateful and happy, comes back again.
In a word, he is converted, and becomes a little
child, and thus enters the kingdom of heaven.
Before, he seemed a full-grown man, with
all the strength and pride of a man; cold, secu-
lar, worldly nding ready to resent an IN
7 suit, and qdirkto repel the arguments and ap-
peals of the gospel But he is a child, a Chris
tan a subdued, grateful child.

EvitOme Of War,

A fair exhibition of war III its origin, its prog
ress and actual results, would be a startling con-
domination of the whole custom as piece of SUI
icidaI folly and madness. The Etrick Shep-
herd, in his lay Sermons, tells The following sto-
rY quite to the point;
'The history ofevery war is very like a scene
l once saw in Nithsdale (ScotIand.) Two boys
from different schools met one fine day upon

with rather Jealous and indignant looks, and with
defiance on each brow.

all the boys of both schools were on the ice, and
the fight instantly became general. At first
they fought at a distance with missile weapons,
such as stones and snow-balls; but at length
coming hand to hand, they COPIED in arage, and
many bloody raps were literally given ad re-
