COLUMBUS, LIST mo. 18th,

OChehhSpS AZ ~Jll, 1910
Frieni B1iiy:-A few minutes previous to
one o'clock to-Jly, the usual time t. take re-
cess, Th. Gallagher offered a preamble and
resolution about CbHiSa!ion. Tne pre-.
amb!e asserted that, as We had no pirticipa-
ton in the subject of slavery we ought not
to be subjected to any of its evils, &c.
Wherefore,
"Resolued, That the standing committee on
Federal Relations be instructed 10 inquire into
the right, the propriety, and expediency of
regulating by law, the colonization of eman-
cipated negroes from other States, within the
territory Of Ohio"
The question being called for, G. Reemelin
said he could vote for the resolution but not
for the preamble, and asked that the question
be taken on the resolution.
BENZ. s. Cowen remarked that the pream-
BILE asserted that we ought not to submit to
any of the evils Of slavery. Why said he,
IT we would avoid doing that, We could not
remain in the Union. By the Constitution
OF the United States we have lgreei to sub
NIT to many Of the evils Of slavery, and we
were not to get out of it by merely adopting
a preamble and resolution here. He regret
ted our particiPancy in these evils, bat they
were unavoidable.
He continueI-by the adoption Of a pream-
BILE we assert certain facts AMI principles to
be true, and this should not be done without
mature delibeGation, men often adopted pre-
ambles without rejecting sufficiently, and
were afterwards obliged to recede from the
opinion therein declared.
Gallagher stated briefly his object in offer
ing the resolutiOn-referring to the fact that
John Rindo,ph's slaves having been liberia
ted were about u be brought to this State
&c.-that this State was likely to become
the place for all the superanuuated slaves OF
adjoining slave States. He then offered to
amend the preamble by inserting ''dIrectly,"
50 as to read mot participate directly in any
Of the evils Of slavery"
Randall said as the resolution made special
exception to su3cralnuqteI slaves, it would
then be inferred that yoIrg negroes might be
received.
Cowen wished to know where the gentle
man would draw the line between the direc
and the indirect participancy in the evils o
slavery.
Gallagher withdrew his preamble; AMI the
resolution was adopted.
This is the first blast we have had on this
subject sinceI have been here, and the above
are the particulars of the case.
The bill recommending a convention tc
amend the Constitution introduced by Odds
on leave, hls just been discussed. 1t was
advocated by the Democrats generally, and
by Randall OF Ashtlbula.
The House agreed - eAgros5 the bill by a
majority of one vote. 50 there is little prob
ability of its passage through both Houses
by the requisite majority.
The House haze a session this evening tc
consider the Oregon resolutions by TIL. Gal
lagher. There Is a d"hlte of some interes
going on between Gallagher, Ball, Reeme
lin, Thomas, Finn and others, but there i
certainly no great object to be gained b,
it, except atf1fl an opportunity for gen
~reticll heroism.

LETTHE U ALONE.

A correspondent of the Journal of Com
merce, under date, Savannah, Ga, July 7th,'
among other observations, gives utterance TO
the following worn out muSty sentence:
elf the friends of the colored race, land
their worst enemies, the AbolitioniSts,) will
only let the South alone, the time is not far
distant when the whole system will be peace
ably abolished"
This is the sentiment, and almost the pre-
else expression adopted and used by multi
tudes of those whose words say they ''hate
slavery" but whose actions emphatically tes-
thy their attachment of subservience to it
or, who hate slavery some, but hate abolition
lists more.
The editer of the Herkimer Freeman serves
up this sentiment in the following pleasant
manner. Read it, anti-abolition friends, and
laugh at your w folly.
':I.et US see, (says he) how this question
would look applied to intemperancs: If the
friends of the drunkard, (and his worst enc.
mics. the Temperance men, will only let the
runSeLer alone, the time is not far distant
when the whole tUhiskey trade will be abol-
ished!
That looks amazingly sensible-don't it,
Try it another way: If the friends of the
keaihcn, (and their worst enemies, the pro-
fassors OF Christianity will only let the pr
gag p0rld alone, the time is not far distant
when the idols will all be "cast to the moles
and bats!'
Oh, this is brightlogic-no mistakenly
once more: "If the friends of order, ririue ana
Happiness in society (and their worst enemie;
the La,os designed to promote these things,

WHAT Is ABOLITIONt

WIN. Slade of Vermont, in a speech deliv-
cred in Congress some years since, thqs an-
swers the question.
abolition is among the noblest of the OBJ
lects which can engage the efforts of man.
IL Is the deliyerance of men from the own
ership of others, and restoring them to the
ownership of themselves. 1t is to take away
whips and tortures as incentives to effort,
and to substitute for them the instincts of
self support, and tho nobler and more eff
Gent ones of care for the support Of others.
1t is 10 substitute for promiscuous concubi-
mage, the marriage relation, with its sacred
rights. its hallowed privileges, and its count.
less blessings. 1t is TO emancipate mind
from complete human dominion and raise il
to freedom Of thought, freedom of purpose,
and conscious responsibility to the God of
the Universe. 1t is to open the bible, now
shut to millions of human beings, and to
give them the privilege, and aid them to en-
JOY it, Of Searching the Scriptures" which
are cable to make them wise unto saliva
tion."

OHIO
b.. B. D..

BY the following report of Legislative pro-
pears that the Representatives of the people
of Ohio arc in favor of perpetuating ignorance,
and intro ducing among the colored people all
the evils which follow in its train. They
shut the school house door upon the colored
man, and then exultingly exclaim, "See how
ignorant he is-how much inferior to u.s."
The bill to give to black and mulatto per-
| sons the benefit of the common school fund
was also reported back by the committee of
the whole, when
Mr.. REID moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the bill. The motion was resisted
bv Mr.. EcKLEY, in a forcible argument.
Mr.. CoDDING could have wished that The
gentleman making this motion would have
assigned some reason for it. For it had been
we'll remarked that when you combat reason
with reason there is hope; but when you have
to combat prejudice, the case is comparative
" hopeless. Will Senators read the inscrip-
ton over the eastern door of this capitol, they
will find the declaration that genera! gOOd is
the object of legislation. With regard to this
unfortunate class, have we legislated with
reference to the general good! Has not, rath-
er, our course been with reference to a partial
good! 1t is said that this class of our popu.
lation are ignorant. Be it so-but, sir, place
an equal number of whites in the same cir.
cumstances, and hey would be no less ig,
norant or degraded. Read the embellish,
ment over that fire place, said Mr.. G. (point,
ing to the Declaration of Independence.) Il
is there said that ''all men are created equal
And if it be a fact that this class are degrad
ed, they must ever remain so, until they arc
educated-and it is the object of this bill t.
remoye that oh jection. And, sir, notwithstand

in the hands Of the Senator who makes this
motion, or my own. | hope, sir, the motion
will not prevail-but that the bill may 90 to
the committee on Schools and School Lands.
Mr.. ANDERSON spoke somewhat at length
In favor of the motion, and was followed by
Mr.. PERKINS, who reasoned that as a mat
ter of interest to the ,Ohite population, he
would give his support to this bill. For, to
the end that our colored population be less
vicious, they must be better informed-for it
is an axiom that ignorance and vice 90 hand
in hand. Mr.. Perkins continued his remarks
At some length.
Messrs. ANDERSON and CooMBs succeeded;
after which the question was taken by ayes
aud noes on the indefinite postponement of
the bill, and resulted ayes l8, noes IL.
So the bill was indefinitely postponed.

"a BRIGHT, PARTICULAR STAR

Illinois is "a bright, particular star" in
the brilliant galaxy of this Union. She is
famous for three things-for not paying her
debts, for promising to help pay for Cuba,
and for catching slaves. Whether she de-
rives any portion of revenue from the last
operation, we are not advised. We rather
think, however, that her officials deal in it as
a money making operation.
There is a paper published at Carlyle
Clinton county, Illinois, called somewhat sa-
tirically, we should think, THE TRuTH TEL
LER," published and edited by q. b. Price.
In the number for December 9TH, we notice
three ad advertisements for runaway slaves from
Missouri; also, a notice by o. IL. p. Max
ey, Sheriff, of the arrest and confinement In
Clinton county Jail, of a man and his wife,
with their little daughter, as fugitive slaves.
The Sheriff, and Tailor in true oyerseer style,
describe the man, las a boy about 30 or 35
years of age" and the mother, las a CIR
who calls herself Hannah Collins" &c.

civilized neighbors, and turned adrift. She

AIE\ICO.

Our readers have been already a~pprized of
the revolution of Mexico by which the reins
of that Government have fallen into the hands
OF Paroles. 1t was bloodless, Herrera hav-
ing relinquished the office of President in IA
vor Of Paroles, without firing a gun or Offer
ing the slightest resistance. Paroles was
accompanied by only 5000 troops, and there
were in the city of Mexico, when he entered
1t, 500 regulars and 10000 armed citizens.
On the arrival of Paroles and his forces, the
500 regulars declared in favor of the rcvolu-
tionary party, and the citizens surrendered,
President Herrera retiring. The Pensacola
Democrat, from which we have CLEANED these
additional facts, says
Gen. Paroles then dissolved the Mexican
Congress, and declared that they should le-
gislate no more until they should have done
feaHy to him. Paroles declared himself OPP
posed TO receiving any Minister from the
Government Of the Uuited States.
At Vera Cruz, some blood was shed, bu
all in the shape of legal executions. Sever
al officers who favored the administration 0
Herrera, proving somewhat refractious, wer
condemned and shot.
From these accounts it appears that tn
principal reliance of Paredes for the success
Of the revolution, was on the hatred Of tn
people TO the United States. The first move
mrnt was made after the arrival of Mr.. 81
dell, and the fact that Herrera had invite
his coming, was used for the purpose, a fa

PUTTING RESOLUTIONS INTO EFF.
Feet,

At a Missionary meeting held amongst tn;
negroes in the West Indies, these three reso
lutions were agreed pom
/. We will give something.
2. We will all give as God has enabled
us.
3. We will all give willingly.
So as soon as the meeting was over, a lea
ding negro took his seat at the table, with
pen and ink, to put down what each came to
rive. Many came forward and gave, some
more and some less. Amongst those that
came was a rich old negro, almost as rich as
all the others put together, and threw
down upon the table a small silver COIN
Take dat back again, said thu negro that re-
ceived the money, "Dat may be according
to de first resolution, but it is not according
to de second"
The rich old man accordingly took it up,
and hobbled back again to his seat in a great
rare. One after another came forward, and
as almost all gave more than himself, he was
fairly ashamed of himself and again threw
down a piece of money on the table, saving,
Dare, take dat!" 1t was a valuable piece
of gold, but it was given so ill-temperedly
| that the negro answered again, mo! dat
won't Go yet. 1t may be according to de first
and second resolutions, but it is not accord
ing 10 de last and he was obliged to take
up his coin again.
Still angry at himself and all the rest, he
sat a long time, till nearly all were gone, and
then came up to the table, and with a smile
on his face, very willingly gave a large
sum to the treasurer. "Very WE'LL" said
the negro, DAT will do. Dat according tc
all de resolutions"

CHINESE CONVERT--AMERICAN
CONVERT.

We had a convert from China, and an Ar.
rico-Amcrican convert in our village on Sun
day before last. One was white, the oihor
black. One was a freeman,t the other a slave,
One spoke English through an interpreter, the
other spoke it as his native tongue, with flu
ency and eloquence. One had the counte-
nance and support of the American Board,
and the other is a poor fugitive, discounto-
nanced by that board, with all his brethren
In bonds. All the ministers and churches
Hooked around the Chinaman with great show
OF benevolence, while il was difficult to get
an audience for the African. One represent
ed the heather Of China, the other represent
ed the Christian-made heather Of America.
Cradles are robbed and babies sold into per-
petual heathenism for Bibles, and light, and
knowledge, and missionaries, to the Chinese,
while the poor African labors alone against
the power of the religion and Government Of
this Christian nation.
The ministers denounce preaching for tho
poor African, and most churches are shut a.
gainst him, whilst all are thrown open, and
upon the sabbath, for the Chinaman, and tn
the curious far and near. We approve Of
Outstanding the Chinese, and we claim
also, that we should undo the bonds we have
put on the bodies and minds of the Africo-A-
merican heather at home. And though
those bonds are political, and put on and
kept on by the people of Cortland, we claim
that our churches and our Sabbaths would
not be profaned, if they should be used to
persuade us to take off those bonds, and in
struct them, and aid them as we do the Chi
nese.

BLACK LAW OF OHIO-NEW CODE
ABOUrTO BE INSTITUTED.

The Black Law, OF the law that was thus
denominated, proposed to punish any person
that would give food to a man flying from
Southern Slavery. The punishment was a
heavy fine. We have learned that charges
are being preferred against the Rev. Isaac n:
McAbbee, for giving Mr.. S. 5. Foster and
Miss Abby Kelley, now Mrs. Foster, their
dinner. Mr.. McAbee is a travelling preach
er of the NJ. E. Church, stationed on the
circuit including Mt. Pleasant in Ohio
The State got ashamed of its law to punish
a person for giving bread to a hungry fugi-
tive slave, and repealed it; but the church
which profeses to be anti-slavery, and sis
as much as ever opposed to the great evil OF
slavery" gives evidence of Il willingness tc
punish those who feed the slaves" This is
a new leaf in the church's devotion to sla'
vely. We do not see how Mr.. McAbee OIL
any other friend of the slave can hold mem
bership in such a church. If the church
succeeds in this instance, it will establish {
new code, or ecclesiastical precedent tina
will throw all the Black Law of that STATE
in the shade. We are anxious to learn thu
result.-PiHSJurgh SPIRIT Of Liberty.
We agree with friend Fleeson, that 1t Is
very hard TO understand show any friend o

hope he will not again puff Liberty party

full fellowship with that church.

that he has been accustomed to point to the
United States of America as a successful ex-

has never alluded to it but with disgust at
their hypocrisy-says that the advocates of

that he never hoars any such illusions now.

other name for American hypocriy-that, ia
