SLAVERY AS IT Is.

We have rarely met with a more revolving
Instance of inhumanity and hypocrisy, than
the one recently related at a public meeting
at Cincinnati, By Rev. Mr. Boucher, a Meth
odist minister who formerly resided at the
South,
While he was on the Alabama circuit, he
spent a Sabbath with an old circuit preacher,
who was also a doctor, living near the Horse
Shoei celebrated as Gen. Jacksou's battle
ground: Early Monday morning. he was
readihg Pope's Messiah to Mr., Boucher,
when his wife called him out. Mr.. Bouch-
er; glanced his eye out of the window. and
saw a slave man standing byl and the hus-
band aid wife consulting over him.. Pres
hntly tie Doctor took a RAYS hide from under
his coat, and began to cut up the half talked
back of the slave, Several inches Of the
skin turned up, perfectly white, at ev6ry
stroke, until the whole back was red with
gore, At first, the. liberated man cried out
in his agony at which the Doctor and Di-
vine cried out at every stroke, 'WCN'T fE
HUSH! WoN'T We HUsH!' till finally the
slave stood still, aud bore his ~toTtures with
ouly a groau.
As soon as he had completed his task, the
Doctor came in. pauting, aid almost out of
breath, and, addressing Mr.. Boucher, said,
'TTOni you 90 10 prayer lUih ms, Sir" The
amazed circuit rider fell upon his knees and
prayed, uttering he hardly knew what
When he left the house, the poor creature of
a slave had crept up aud knelt at the door du-
ring prayer, with his body CORY with blood
down to his very eels.-C0ngregdtionai Jour

From The Mercer Luminary.

My DEAR FRIEND :-Agreeably to your
request, | will inform you of some of the work.
ings Of slavery in the church. Let me pre-
mise that have lived eight years in a slave
state (Na.) Received my theological educa-
ton at the Union Theological Seminary, sit
uated at Prince Edward county Va, near the
Hamden Sydney College. Those who know
anything about slavery, know the worst kind
is iobbing slavery-that is, the hiring out of
slaves from year to year., while the master is
not present TO protect them. 1t is the inte-
rest of the one who hires them, to get the
worth of his money Of them, and the loss is
the masters if they die.
What shocked me more than anything else,
was the church engaged in this jobhing of
slaves. The college church which attend
ed, and which was attended by all the stu
dents of Hamden Sydney College and Union
Theological Seminary, held slaves enough to
pay their pastor, Mr.. Stanton, ONE THOUSAND
DOLLARS a year, of which the church mem-
bers did not pay a cent $50 | understood it.)
The Slaves who had been left 10 the church
by some pious mother in Israel. had increas-
ed so as to be a large and still increasing
fund. These were hired out on Christmas
day of each year, the day in which they cell
citrate the birth of our blessed Savior, to the
highest bidder. These worked hard the
whole year to pay the pastor his $1,000 a year,
and it was left TO the caprice of their employ
ers whether they ever heard one sermon for
which they toiled hard the whole year to pro-
cure. This was the church in which the
professors of the seminary and the college
often officiated. Since the abolitionists have
made so much noise about the connection Of
the church with slavery, the Rev. Elisha Ba-
lenter informed me the church had sold this
property and put the money in other stock.
There were four other churches near the COL
lege church that were in the same situation
with this, when | was in that country, that
supported the pastor, in whole or in part, in
the same way, viz: Cumberland church,
John Kirkpatrick, pastor; Briny church,. Will
liam Plummer, pastor (since DR.. p. Of Rich
mond y Buffalo church, Mr.. Cochran, pastor
Pisga church, near the peaks of Otter, ].
Mitchell, pastor. This is the church where
Mr.. Turner preached and used to ~electrify the
state by his eloduence.
What disposition these churches have made
with their slaves, | have not been able to
learn. | leave these simple statements OF
fact, without coloring or comment, for you
and other christians to draw the conclusions
for yourselves.

she has degraded.
Nothing can exceed the meanhcss OF her
policy in first iTbruting a portion of her pop
%ulation, and then imposing upon the free
States the duty of elevating it from its deg
radiation. But so long as Slavery shall exist
in the South, this evil will continue. What
excuse then can any man in the irse States
frame, for doing nothing to promote the ex-
tinction of the accursed systeml Every one
now feels that we hare a great deai 10 do with
slavery,-how then can WI tolerate the old
political parties which have continually made
it a part of their policy to suppress all dis
cussion or agitation on this question, and to
strengthen the domination of the Slave Pow.

AFFAIRS IN MEXICO-MANIFESTO
BY PAREDES.

Recent advices from Mexico and Havana
leave little room for doubt that the late insur-
%rection at Jalisco was but a link in a chain of
similar movement framed to take place in
every province, and intended to overthrow
Paroles and restore TO Santa Ana the direc-
ton Of affairs. 1t is evident that the rising
has been planned by Santa Ana himself, aid
ed perhaps by his friend Almonte. We shall
soon learn the result in the various provinces,
and see which of the rival chicfiains is likely
hencelorth to be in the ascendant. If Pare
DIES triumphs, it will argue that the Army is
still constant to his fortunes, Notwithstanding
the defeats on the Rio Grande.
Paroles delivered before the new EXtraor-
binary Congress of Mexico a long and able
Address on its assembling on the 9th ult.-
He speaks of the movement which elevated
him 10 power-of its necessity, the purity Of

~RANDOLPH'S
SLAVES,

We were informed day before yesterday,
and the Enquirer of yesterday confirms the
report, that the people of Mercer county have
prevented the settlement of RandoIph's eman-
cipated slaves in their county. The agent
proceeded with them to Bremen, and landed
them there, but the thing becoming noised
abroad, the people assembled in a public
meeting, placed a guard around the siran-
gers, passed resolutions declaring their pur-
pose to enforce the laws of the State, and
then gave the agent till 10 o'clock the next
day, to depart with his charge. lie rc-em-
barked accordingly, and is now encamped in
the woods about % miles this side of Bremen.
The manumitted persons number nearly
300, and many of them are women and chill
dren.
Here is a case that painfully appeals to ev-
cry humane heart. These poor unofTending
creatures, natives of the country, willing to
work, peaceful and orderly, have no spot on
which TO rest their feet. Driven out from their
native State by Slavery. they are driven back
upon it, by a h~earlless Prejudice. If continu.
ed in Ohio, they will be mOJbed if returned,
to Virginia, they will be ensapedt Good
God that any Of thy children should be sc

GREAT RIOT.

Great Riot al Princeion-.Isa on a Pro-
Gessor and Magistrate -.7rreSt Of Students.
On Saturday night, while n colored man
and his wife were recreating themselves with
a walk after their weeks labor, they. were
assaulted by a party Of rowdy students, the
female especially being abused in a shame
full manner The man defended himself and
his wife with a club, and struck one of the
most active rioters (by the name Of Taylor,
from Virginia. on the cheek, which caused
a very ugly wound. The poor creature was
frequently heard by the neighbors CRYING,
thew had probably killed him.
Yesterday they had a hearing at n marts-
%trate's office, the colored man having been
brought there to satisfy a party of Southern
students, who thought it an indignity to have
one of their number struck by ''neGro;'' and
loud and many were their cries for revenge.
Students appeared before the office armed
with dirks and pistols, and all the efforts Of
Professor MLean, and the Magistrate and
constable proved unavailing. The students
finally succeeded in tearing the object of re-
sentiment from behind the magistrates desk
where he had sought refuge, and then they
beat him in a most harbarous manner,-hreak-
ing his scull and inficting other injuries
which will most likely prove fatal. One OF
the constables for attempting to rescne the
man was treated almost as badly. Professor
M'Lean himself was considerably hurt while
attempting to defend the colored man. After
they had satisfied themselves with beating
the man. and breaking the windows and fur.
niture of the Magistrates office, they gave
three cheers and marched of without a single
arrest having been made. Warrants have
been procured for the arrest of the rioters.-

THE CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE, which is to
declare war against Popery in August, might
find a fit subject of contemplation in the pres
ent posture of Christendom Ii might help
them to see the beam in their own eyes, to
look abroad upon the earth and find it still and
peaceful, except those portions under the
sway of Christian Governments. Wars be-
tween Pagans have grown very rare. They
have left the Devils great work to nominal
christians, who are doing it better to his sat-
isfaction. The national christianity of the
three foremost "defenders of the faith " is
being presented to the heather by diagrams
and other illustrations done in blood, and en-

w. w. Brown, in giving an account to
the editor of the A. S. Standard Of a conven-
ton which Liberty party held in New York
for the purpose of ascertaining its position,
says;
"Beriah Green said that the Liberty party
was not dead, that as long as two remained
in the party, it was d party. William Good
ell SAID, that of the fifteen thousand votes
that were cast for the party, in n, there were
not. in his opinion, more than five Thousand
in the party at the present time. and that they
would never return upon the old trdck-that
something must be done to bring them back"
Some of the leaders proposed the formation
of a Liberty League, but after discussing the
proposition for two days it was rejected The
whole cry during the convention was,
"What shall we do,-what will become
of the Liberty party!-the Liberty party is
dead"

A WHITE SLAvE-Intcresting Case. A
similar case to that of the German girl recent
ly decided in New Orleans, has occurred at
St. Louis, which is related as follows, in the
Reporter:
I" few days since, a young man, appa-
rently of white parentage, was arrested at the
instance of a Mr.. Mountoy, of Missouri, who
claimed him as a slave. The young mans
own story is, that he is the illegitimate son
OF white parents, his mother being an unmar-
ried woman, and that he was placed while he
was an infant in the care of some blacks, the
property of Mr.. Vaughan, Of Virginia. At an
early age, Mr. V. adopted him as an appren-
ticc, promising to rear him, and at the age of
manhood give him his freedom, &c. In a few
years, however, Mr.. V. died, and the lad fell
under the guardianship of the present claim
ant, who held him as a slave, and refused to
recognize MIN as an apprentice. The boy
was brought to Missouri, and thence taken to
Illinois, where he was employed as a race-ri-
der. Eventually he eloped, and for several
years has been roaming through the West,
probably in none the best of company. A
short time since he came to the city, and, as
| stated, was arrested. He is now in prison,
and efforts we learn have been Instituted TO
fathom the mysteries of his story.
Vcry Singuar.-The President claims tina,
when he ordered Gen. Taylor to the Rio
Grande, he did not order him into the Next
can territory. Yet our last news that goods
imported at St. Louis, and sent thence 10
Santa Fe (this side of the Rio Grande) are
allowed drawback, under the law of Con-
gress, OH the ground that to send them to
Santa Fe is 10 re-eSPort them to a foreign
country! This trade is going on, and The
drawback allowed, and duties paid to thu
Mexican government, down to the Presen
time.
