"GEr. GEORGE WASHINGTON DIXON"

ms is the assumed name and title Of an impu-
dent quadroon, who was raised in an oyster cellar
IN Baltimore, and some years since was attached
to a Circus company, who has managed by some
means to connect his name and fame with the
Government, and at times 10 associate himself
with the ellie of the nation. For ? long lime he
was the publisher of a ribald paper in New York
city, for which he was frequently in the "Tombs',
or City Prison. On the opening of the Mexican
War he assumed the title of General" and
enlisted volunteers for The capture of Yucatap.
The Government disclaimcd his authority. and
we next hear Of being in the Calaboose at New
Orleans. Then we see him at The head Of q
newspaper called The " South american pub-
lIshed there, which commands the notice of the
press generally. The very title Of the paper
shows his stupidity, for he has not the first prin-
c'p'es OF a common school education From that
paper we copy the following flaming proclamation:

THE ANNIVERSARY.

The society convened, according to appoint
mont. ut the Tabernacle, on tuesday n orn-
ing. That spacious building rarely admits a
larger audience than assembled on this occa-
sion. The body of the house, even to the
a%isles, was crowded and the galleries were
we'll filled. Mr.. Garrison, of course, presi-
ded! Some portions. of the Annual Report
of the Executive Committee were read by
Mr.. Quincy. The Report of the Treasurer.
by which it aprears that the Society is out Of
debt, and a balance of six hundred dollars
left in the Treasury, was read by Mr.. Jack
son. 5. II. Gay read a portion of a letter
from Mr.. GiCdings, expressive of his deep
interest in the cause of the slave. his hirh
respect for those engaged in the Anti-slavory
movement, and his regret that he could not
he present at the meeting; he read also a no.
bic letter f.om David Lee Child, Of North
anpton, to the Executive Committee. which
was responded to by the members of the So
tiety with much enthusiasm, and received
with great qualification. Charles c. Burleigh
William Lloyd Garrison, Parker Pilisburv,
and Abby Kelley Foster, successively ad-
dressed the meeting, and all made speeches
worthy of the time and themselves. Much
regret was felt at the absence Of Wendell

those who do not know these persons would

Some malicious person, perhaps the same
who attempted to bern Is out last year at the
office, were determined this year to repeat the
experiment on a larger scale. A closet un-
der the stage, filled with combustible matter,
was fired but luckily it was discovered be-
fore it had made much Roadway, by the smoke
appearing through a %crevice in the seat; had
the lucky discovery net been made the mo-
ment it was, the consequences upon a large
and panic-struck crowd, might have been
ffightful.

EXCOMMUNICATION.

The Rev. w. W. Maltby, preacher in charge
Of the Mesopotamia Circuit, the ME-. Class
at the centre of Pennington, and the NJ. f..
Church generally, will take notice That my
connection and christian fellowship with said
Church, is hereafter at an end. Withdraw
from the NJ. L. Church for the following
reasons:
Ist. | caunoth hold connection with a church
whose discipline "is saturated with the
blood Of the slave" The section on slavery
pare l35 of the discipline, holds the follow
ing language-' What shall be done for the
extirpat.ion Of the evil of slavery 7" Now, if
there is any relation between the question and
answer, then the means proposed are deemed
by the church competent to the removal of the
evil complained of; and if, BY a close atten-
ton to this matter, we find that nothing is
proposed that tends to the extirpation of Sla-
rery itself, we shall be forced 10 the %conclu-
sion, that the church distinguishes between
slavery and its evils. They say, first, " We
declare that we are as much as ever convinced
of the great evil of slavery therefore nc

THE BARoyE PoNs, SLAvER.-This vessel
has been condemned in Philadelphia without
a trial, because the owner would not appear
IN court to clasm her had rather lose his
VESSEL drdv6 tnS scVrn or his country
men. But should the owner be suffered thus
to escape with impunity l have not seen
mentioned the name of the owner of the Pons,
on the custom-house books, when she last
cleared from Philadelphia for Rio Janeiro !;
the custom-house books always show who is
the real owner. A pretended sale Of the YES
sci at Rio is generally set up against any
participation in this accursed traffic by the
American owner; but in the case of the Pons
it appeared Ly a letter from DR.. Lugenbeel,
Of Liberia, to the Rev. w. M'Lanc, dated
Dec. Goth, that the wretch who claimed TO
have charge of her when she was captured,
is an ltalian-that he came over in the vessel
from Rio as a ~passenger-the vessel being
in command Of her former mate, an American,
who gave her up to her new ~(pretended) own
er, some weeks after their arrival on the
coast of Africa and whencaptured, the stars
and stripes, the beautiful standard of our
country, was waving in the breeze, in def
ance of what he imagined the Yorktown to
be, a British man-of-war. Now it appears to
me this pretended sale in Rio is all a sham.
No honest man would sell a vessel there, and
agree to deliver her on the coast of Africa at
a slave mart and any person who does so,
directly and palplhly assists and participates
in the Slave Trade! Should not such per-
sons be known!-Jounai gf Commerce.

had a letter yesterday from a Northern
friend, now resident ia Virginia. and not vet
corrupted by the influence of Slavery, who
mentioned to me the following Ingenious
piece nf clerical Interpretations
One of the customs Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church is to read the General Rules
Of the ''Discipline'' to tie congregation once
a year. On the Sunday in question, the min
ister preached a very severe sermon against
fashion, and display in dress, specifying par
t~ieularly jewelry, and most particularly breast
pins, as utter denominations in the sight Of the
Lord. He then read the Discipline, which
contains this provision, that ''no one who be-
longs to the church shall buy or sell men
with the intention to ~enslave them This
was too plain to pass without an explanation,
and the parson stopped to remark that this
had referance only to the African Slave Trade
but none at all to the domestic institutions of
the present day; none at Ill, Cooking up at
the gallery of servants,) for, as they were
already in servitude, they could not be made
any more so by exchanging masters.
This is certainly one of the most success
ful solutions of the scriptural problem about
straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel,
that have ever seen. | think it furnishes a
satisfactory explanation of the remark of
Frederick Douglass, that next to being a
slave at all, the greatest curse is to be the
slave Of a 'religious' master. 1t really
seems as if Gods reason for permitting Sla-
very to exist so long, might be the exposure,
through its means, Of the detestable hypoc-
riSy of the great body of the American
Church and clergy. C. X. w.

On the Accidental DealS Of a Soldier
BY cHARLEs wILsos, U. 5. A.

BY CHARLES WILSON, y. ;. a.
Ills terrible to die:
To exchange this bright world, so full of joys,
For the eternal sleep Of the cold and silent tomb
Yet there are moments IN our lives
When death comes as joyful messenger
A herald sent from heaven, with reprieve
From all the tolls and cares of life
A passport from the dull, cold scenes of life,
To cline where souls feast on Love,
And brighten in the smiles of Him who died
That all might smile
To the soldier, whose glory 'tis 10 fall
Upon the battle plain, where freemen die
To save the land they love from shame,
Amid the clash Of steel, the smoke and roar
OF cannon, and then the proud huzza
Thai tells the victory won
O.! / would bear with life thousand years
Bear the pangs of unrequted love
The scorn Of friends, the shame OF strangers-
Aye! live, fed upon the dregs OF Despair's
Biuerest cup, if could but at last die
On the field Of strife. my feeble voice
Swelling the glorious shout of victory,
My young arm grasping sword,
Wet with the warm blood of my foes,
And pointing to the flag. waving in triumph
Ore the glory Of its friends and flight of It's foes,
Die-a stripe for my shroud,
A star for my pillow, and one yolley
10 cheer my spirit in its flight
To try the unknown realities Of eternity.
This is the death that soldiers wish TO die:
Yes, they pant for this as lovers long separated
Pant to press each others lips:
And when fate denies them this boon
And calls them off, no matter how,
She owns no gift to pay them back with justice.
Comrade, twas thy fate, thy destiny
To leave this world without tasting Joy
Fit to repay thee for bearing its cares.
We weep not for thy death, but It's manner;
We mourn not thy absence, but thy loss of
aer glory
Still, e'en for this we'll cease to mourn,
And hope thy soul has met a Christians doom,
Andpassed thy great Inspector-GoD.
