Who is Free?

Slavery, in order to make secure the pos
session OF It's present victims, is Obliged to
control and abrdge the liberty OF all. The
Iyrant master is himself far from iree-,he
chain he has fastened upon the heel Of the
slave is rivited about his own neck, and its
links rest upon all who come within the in
%luence of slavery's power. There is nothing
the monster so much breads as discussion,
and when the light of truth is flashed upon
ii, it shriekS aloud in agony. To shut out
this light, and TO enshroud the system in i'm
penetTable darkness, is the studied design of
its friends and supporters. For this they
have plundered the United States mail; for
this they have destroyed printing presses and
administered Lynch law TO the advocates Of
truth; for this they have enacted laws against
free speech, made the circulation of Anti
Slavery publications a penal offence, and pro-
hibited their transmission by mail. These
thoughts were suggested by the receipt of a
letter from a friend who resides in the south
ern part of this State, requesting a temporary
discontinuance Of her paper for the following
reason:
" am just preparing to spend the winter
IN p'rgiHia, my native state, hut cursed Uifh
Sngery. In the neighborhood in which my
father lives, slavery exists in its mildest lorIn,
but ] h We experienced enough there to know
that | dare not receive the Bugle or any other
such paper through the post. office. II is TO
Inc a painful fact, and my mind is narrowed
with thoughts which ! cannot dlspel, when
ever | revisit the scenes of my childhood. |
shall, however, take the numbers ! have with
me. that my friends there may see what is
being done in Ohio"

d Methodist, Episcopal clergyman residing
in Columbiana, who very properly declined
the invitation, moved thereto, perhaps, by
the hostile position in which the Wesleyans
stood. On the 9TH day Of the meeting they
invited brother Burt, a local preacher Of the
NJ. l.. connection to lend them a helping
hand. Their case was truly a desperate one,
for although they had by that time obtained
one or two preachers Of their own denomina-
lion, yet more preachers we're needed
Brother burt accepted the invitation, and

D,saGtctiOn among The Methodist Pro-
teStantS.

A portion Of the Neil odist Protestants who
were Connected with the Ohio Annual Con-
ference, recently met at Springfield, to take
action in relation to the position Of said Con-
ference, and 10 consider their duty as mem
bers of the Methodist Protestant Church.
After stating The grounds of their complaint
to be the Pro-slavery character of both the
Annual and General Conference, and setting
forth in a preamble their reasons for ths ac-
tion they were about to adopt; they
Resolved, That we have continued our con-
nrction with the Ohio Annual Conference,
and with the NJ. p. Church until we have
not the least ground 10 hope of e~ifccting a re-
formation, either in the Church as a whole,
in the North as a body or even in the Ohio
Annual Conference.
Resoired, That we do hereby in tho fear Of
Almighty God dissolve our ecclesiastical
romeo ion with the Ohio Annual Conference
and with the NJ. p. Church.
ReSoiced, That the resolution of the Ohio
Annual Conference of the NJ. p. Church de-
claring themselves an anli-slavery Confer
ence, is Il gross inconsistency, SO long as
they continue their connection with slayehold.
ers, and the apologisls of the system.
They also called a Convention to DO coua-
posed Of all ministers favorable to secession,
one lay member from each society whose Sc
~cession had, or was likely to take place, and
the ministers and members who had already
seceeded.

Nixon SlliG, Samuel Brooke, and the
Cleveland American.
DEAR FRIESDs -:

DEAR FRIESDs:-
Your paper Of the % inst. contains a note
from Milton Sutlin, IN which lie dlscIains
the sentiment attributed to him by Samuel
Brooke, relative to the Cleveland American,
and says that Mr.. d. must have entirely mis-
understood his language. In the same paper
Mr.. Brooke replies in support Of his original
statement, aud calls upon ne to slate what |
understood Mr.. S. 10 say touching the matter
in dispu,e-a request with which | cheerfully
comply.
Without intending to inrelch the v~eracity
of MIR. Sutlir, believing, as | do, that his
nic0ory has in this instance, betrayed him
into an error, truth and justice require me 10
Say that ! have a distinct recollection of hear
ing him express, at the Mecca Meeting, the
sentiment attributed to him by Mr.. Brooke
in respect 10 The American.
The circumstance under which Mr.. S.
used the language on which Mr.. Drooke's
statement was founded, were these: While
Mr.. SutlifI was on the floor, with his permits
sion | rose and stated as an objection to the
Liberty party, that it had copied The worst
vices Of both the other parties, in misrepre-
senting the cond ct and motives Of abolition
lists, in the columns Of its newspapers, Of the
same time refusing the injured party an OPP
portuuity to reply and instancod the Clevc-
land American as en- example. Mr.. S. re-
piled that he was in favor Of foe discussion,
and would always allow an opponent a full
opportunity to reply; bu; that he was not re-
sponSible for the conduct Of the American, as
he WAS not a subscriber Of the paper. But,
said ], the party s~ustdins Mr.. Rice and ena.
bles him to carry on this mean and cowdrdly
warfare upon the Anti-Slavery cause, and you
sustain the party. In reply Mr.. S. did not
dispute the facts alledged against the Ameri-
can, nor the soundness of the principle on
which ! had based my charges against the
party, but suggested that tie party might be
ignorant Of these facts, as he had hitherto
been in hich case it was not responsible;
aud h" added thai it he supposed they were
generally known, and the party would still
continue to support Mr.. Rice, he would aban.
don it.
That Mr.. SutliT should disclaim a senti-
ment Sd honorable to himself, can be account
ed for only from the necessities of his situa-
ton as a party man. Drplorable, indeed,
must be the moral condition Of that man who
will consent TO ask of another a favor which
he Is unwilling to grant in turn. And yet,
such is the case with Milton Suilitr in asking
the use Of your columns 10 deny a statement
respecting himself. while at the same time.
he avows himself ready to lend his influence
to support a paper which refuses this right to
your most intimate friends. But | have long
since ceased to expect anything honorable
from a Liberty party man.
Yours for Truth and Justice.

Consistency of Wesleyan NTc.hOdistS.

49,
II is well known TINT the Weslcyans left
the mother church because they reg ,rled il
as a brotherhood Of thieves, an organic ition
so pro-slavery that they could not hold chris
tian fellowship with its members. They
profess to draw the line clearly between
themselves AMI pro-slivery sects-lhey claim
ing to be an anti.slivery church. But un-
less we misunderstood their principles, they
grossly violated them on a recent OCCASION,
and like some of former days went down to
Egypt for help.
They held a emp meeting this month on
the Columbiana circuit about Two miles from
the town Of Columbian. The speakers
whom they had previously invited to attend
did not reach there, and their other calcula-
tions so failed that at the LIST DAYS meeting
there was not a single preacher on the ground
The WeSleyans who had called the meeting
were in a quandary, for a camp meeting
without preachers was an anomaly in church
history. The only expedient they could
think Of, was to invite a Methodist Episco-
pal priest. True, they had denounced that
church as pro-slavery, had refused to remain
in christian fellowship with its members,
and owed their very existence as a sect to
their war upon it; but all these considera-
tons were los: sigh, Of in the great fact that
they had no preachers on the camp ground.
They accordingly applied TO VI, L. Weekly,

The ELEcrloN.-The Pennsylvania Free
man, in spe king of the recent Wing victory
in Ohio, says that the election ''was TO a
great extent, a question of human righls."-
We don't know how it may have appeared to
those at . distance, but to US, it seemed that
human rights was one of the last things the
electors thought Of. The same party is now
in power thai last year refused to repeal the
Black Laws, and we have as yet seen no ev-
idence Of its repentance. Bebb is strongly
opposed to extending to the colored man the
elective franchise, and his denunciation of the
Black Laws was used by his party less to
advance the cause Of hOpasi'y ibsn 10 keep

DIED, at his residence in Concord. N. II,
on the 18th inst, Nathaniel p. Rogers, edit.
or of 1.-THE Herald of Freedom"
Although during The few last years OF his
life he strenuously opposed the measures
which some of the hest and trucst friends Of
freedom had adopted for the destruction Of
slavery, making war upon all organized Of
forts for its overthrow, yet in the earlier days
Of the anti-slavery enterprise he labored faith
fully and did a great work and the recent
changes which have taken place in his native
state, are in no mean part attributable to the
good seed which he scattered upon its rug
ged soil.
We have always believed, and rejoice now
to believe, that the spirit he of late manifest
ed toward the most prominent members Of the
Am. A. s. Society, his former companions
and fellow laborers, was the result, not cf
his reason or his judgment, but of a pa, tiGi
arrangement Of his intellect.
He has made great sacrifices for the Cause
Of freedom, and cheerfuliy laid tie offerings
of his transcendent genius upon the altar OF
humanity. The benevolence Of hi, heart and
the greatness Of his intellect gave no ordina-
ry charm to the productions of his pen and
depth, and pa,hos, and power dwelt in the
simple language in which he gave ut,erance
TO his thoughts.
