AT HOME-ARROAD.

The most important item of home-news in
the political world is the conclusion Of tho
Oregon debate in tho Senate, and the adop-
ton by that body Of resolutions directing the
President to give notice of the cessation Of
joint occupancy of that territory. The reso-
lutions were not adopted in the form they
passed the House, but were amended. II 10
thought the House will probably concur in
the amendments of the Senate, though there
may possibly be some difficulty in bringing
both branches of Congress upon the Same
ground.
We learn by the late arrivals from England
that the question is there discussed with I'M
abaied interest, and the politicians are watch
ing with jealous eyes the movements of this
country in relation to il. Considerable ex.
element prevails among a certain class; and
editors there can act the braggadocio quite az
well az some We know of on this side the
great water.
Great distress prevails in Ireland, and par.

that Peel's Corn Law Bill" will pass the
Lower House, and 1t is confidently asserted
that there is now a majority of twenty in its
favor in the House of Lords, and that when
the final vote is taken upon it, the majority
will be larger.
There has been an attempted revolution in
Poland-rumor says that 10000 were engag-
ed in 1.-THE insurgents were however crush
ed by the combined forces of Russia, Austria,
and Prussia. Hopeless as was the attempt,
and fatal as it may prove to those who parti-
cipated in it, it is another witness to q fact
which the tyrants Of the earth would fain for
get, that the love of Liberty may never bs de-
stroyed, that the fires of Freedom cGnnot be
quenched. The Polish instruction Of 1916
will add new fuel to the fame which Is Choir
ished in the hearts Of the oppressed and down
trodden of Europe.

in regard to my present Church relation, and

sent that this relation be continued.

after to be given.
NOTICE.
II the above certificate is not given, I do
now and hereby give notice that my member
ship in the Methodist Episcopal Church is
by my voluntary withdrawment, in the exer-
else of my rights of private judgment, end
ed.
Wishing to be understood by the preacher
in charge, that the period Of this termination
of membership, is to be in two weeks after l
have put this notice into his hands, unless a
delay should be necessary by circumstance
Of which l have no knowledge .
Reason LIST. The Methodist Episcopal
Church continues to hold such a connection
with the system of American slavery, as tc
be justly guilty of sustaining it-a system
which is the vilest the sun ever shone upon
and which / regard, as the venerable Johr
Wesley did, the sum of all villanieS.
In order to sustain this charge, | will SAY
that the action Of the church as a body, favor
slavery: furthermore, it will receive mem
beIs into full fellowship and communion, VIII
hold s~laves-which | cannot sanction. 1t ais
allows local preachers, class-leaders and mem
bers, as well as bishops, to hold slaves-whicl

thus practically denying their equal brother
hood. II suffers ,he opPressor TO minister at
its altar, to break the bread and pour the wine
Of communion !; men-s,ealers are among iis
most approved teachers and those who have
grown rich in the bodies and souls Of their
equal brothers are treated with marked ailen-
ton and christian honor. II sees one hun
dred thousand Of its own members given asa
prey to the plundcrer, and cares not to dcliy-
er; it sees the virtue of fifty thousand women
Of its own household left dcfenceless in the
power Of the spoiier, and raises no voice in
their behalf. The crushed spirit, the agonis-
81 soul, ard the blighted intellect OF millions
which comes up in terrible array from tho
prison house of slavery, makes no impression
on its fiin,y heart. 1t is infdel to the cause
Of humanity, infdel 10 the holy principles by
which the world is to be redeemed, in6del TO
Him who flleth the throne Of the Universe.
In relation to Mr.. Porter and his book, we
know nothing Of either. The probability is
that the book embodies an effort made by
some clergyman who feared his craft was in
danger, to prove that inasmuch as Garrison
chooses to yield obedience TO the two great
commandments-love to God and love to man
rather than profess a belief in church the
ology, he is therefore an infdel. That as he
IS anxious to bring this nation TO repentance,
and induce it to observe Gods chosen fas,
instead Of hypocritically bowling the head like
a bul:ush, therefore he is a fanatic. That as
he labors TO hasten the day "when swords
shall be beaten into ploughshares, and spears
into pruning hooks, and nations learn war no
more" therefore he is a destructive, a radl-
cal. That as he desires that men should be
governed by the law of lore and not by force,
that the kingdom Of heaven shall be establish
ed upon the earth, and all shall live, not in
conformity to the laws of man, but in blissful
obedience to the laws Of God, therefore he is
a Jacobin. This is the character of CARR.
sons infdelity; and il the Methodist prizes,
at Pennington has any other evidence upon
which to base his charges than the say SO Of
some Of Garrison's enemies, let him produces
it.
But suppose the clergy were able to
prove that Garrison, Foster, and all other
comeouters were rank infdels; what thenl
Their views of theology do not affect the
character of the anti-slavery truths they utter,
their conduc. does not absolve men from tha
obligation to embrace it. Truth is truth, no mat
ter ty whom held or by whom rejected /; and
if one who errs in nine hundred and ninety
nine points preach US the truth in the ,hous-
andth, We are bound to receive it. Men
must indeed be foolish if they will reject a
truth because no who teaches it, teaches also
nine hundred and ninety nine errors. Some
are silly enough to do this, and w suppose
The design of the Rev. Mr.. Maltny was to
operate upon such minds, and persuade them
that the character, or rather the theological
opinions of Garrison and Foster, have power
TO invalidate the Interchangeable truths Of God.

FRIENDS EplroRs :

FRIENDS EDITORS
Having an earnest desire for the advance
ment of the cause Of truth and the interests
Of the oppressed millions Of our land, l can
but feel it my duty to present to you the
course which is being pursued in this COM
munity, and demand at your hands in behalf
of a las ! can but ,hink) deceived people,
such refutation and explanation as can be
made. / am unwilling TO renounce my con-
idence in the honesty Of Messrs. Garrison,
Foster, and others, and believe that " their os-
,ensible Objects the destruction Of Chrisiiani-
~, and the establishment Of the principles Of
infidelity on the ruins thereof" This is
the grave charge preferred against those gen.
tlemen, with all the leading come-outers, by
Rev. Mr.. Maltby, an Episcopal Methodist
Minister Of this Circuit and no trouble is
spared by him to establish, in the mind Of
community, the truth Of the position. Not
only is it charged that they are 'laboring for
the overthrow Of Christianity" but of all
civil government in this nation" and to
establish " the reign Of reason" when eve
ry one " shall be a law unto himself" The
evidence on which the gentleman seems to
rely in proof Of his positions is, a pamphlet
written, l think, by a Mr.. Porter Of New
England. Friends, what of this book Il
Who is this Mr.. Porteri How many of the
statements therein made are true, and how
many false We are anxious to hear from
you on this subject. Above all, is Mr.. Gar
rison an inidell Or is he not rather a sim
eers believer in Christianity, and depout ,ror-
shipper Of God9
We may think it fit, at a future day, TO
give to the world some very rare proceedings
Of the NJ. E. Church in this place to day in
the cases Of some of its members who felt
that, in conscience, they could not longer re.
tain their connection with that church, and
asked for letters of dismission. l say rare,
and SO it was. Many will feel that they are
deeply injured, and that the time has come
when men are prescribed for opinions sake
merely.
Yours for the cause Of truth,

Advlces have been received at New Orleans
from Corpus Christi 10 The 10Th ultimo. The.
Gazette, published at that place, confirms The re-
port that the ''Army Of Occupation" had received
orders to break up their camp there and remove
to the Rio Grande. 1t is supposed that Point Isa-
bel, or the East side Of the river, is the spot Sc
lected for the new camp.

THE WEST AND THE soUTg

1t will not be forgotten by our readers that Mr..
HANNEcAN, in the Senate Of the United States.
some days ago, declared his reasons for not yo-
ting on the Texan measure of annexation, and
that these reasons were simply his apprehensions
and belief that the Southern Texas men were not
to be relied on in the Oregon matter; that coup
ling Oregon and Texas together in the Baltimore
Convention they designed 10 secure the latter
merely while they would show spunic faith'' in
reference to the Western measure. Mr.. HANNr-
GAN now finds his worst fears realized.
There have been within few DAYS past sun-
dry limitations in the Union that demonstration
might possibly be made by the Western men in

THE DEAF TAUGHT TO SPEAK,

Some of the German teachers, il appears from a
letter of DIR. Bartlett, written from Vienna, and
published in the Lowell Courier, have been verv
successful in teaching their deaf mute pupils to
speak. We see it stated also, that the pupils of
the Hartford Institution, at late exhibition in
Boston, gave very gratifying evidence of the sue
cess which had been attained in that institution
in this valuable branch Of instruction. One or
two Of the pupils spoke very inteIigibly, and
could understand by the eye The spoken remarks
