It's stem is from one to two and a halt

those of the Indian beet root, and when
ripe produces a csulifiower-llke head

Juice extracted near the root congeals
into the well known gum, Of which
each plant yields about pound; espe'
cially when young, they are priced as
high delicacy by the natives, who stew

In this way the smell is even stronger

to it, can endure its offensive effiu-

tlthe time expired according to law and was then
sold to pay his Jail tees. While III Jail he says the
sheriff whipped him most numerically to make him
disclose the name of his master The hope of reward
was the motive leading to this barbarism Soon after
he was sold out he made another effnt for freedom,
and reached Canada, and is now living in London.
Comments on this case leave to be made by the pro-

are "as much opposed to slavery as any body"

such standard is deeply felt by ourselves, will
the demand be fully met The importance of
woman's appropriate sphere is certainly under
valued, both by those who would do away all dis
tncton between the sexes, in order to prove their
equality and by the opposite class, who would lin
it her range o. knowledge to the right understand
ing of household economy. Every one who UNI
derstands the nature of the domestic constitution,
and can trace effects back to their causes, must
feel that the duties Of the wife and mother are OF
paramount interest and value. The latter Is
treadng at every step, among the hidden and
intricate springs of feeling and action; she holds
in her hand character in its forming stage, and
stamps an impress on coming generations, Can
there be a station Of greater dignity and respon-
sibility than this q? 1t is because we believe our
own province so peculiarly important, and not
because we wish to arrogate rights never beStow-
ed upon US by God, that we would have women
educated, aye, and highly educated, with de-
gree Of care and attention equal to that bestowed
on the other sex. Why the invdious distinction
between the advantages possessed by boys and
girls in acquiring an education! Why should
few months of superficial instruction in the one
case, be considered an equivalent for years OF pa
tient study, under the most favorable circnmstan-
ces, in the other? Our sons are Systematically
trained for the profession or the trade they are
intended to pursue, while our daughters are too
frequently thrust forth into the station they are
designed by God to occupy, in utter ignorance
of the elementary principles pertaining to their
duty. Shame OH the pseudo philosophers who,
in the face of all the facts on this subject, grave
Iy moralize on the natural inferlority Of woman,
mrd make the consequences Of their own lnJGs'
tlce, reason for its longer continuance.

10 Make Home Happy,

Nature is industrious in adjoining her domin-
ions; and man to whom this bounty is address,
ed, should feel and obey the lesson, Let him,
too, be industrious in adjoining his domain-in
making his home, the dwelling of his wife and
children, not only convenient, but pleasant -
Let him, as far as circumstances will permit, be
industrious in surrounding it with pleasant OBJ
ects-in decorating it, within and without, with
things that tend to make it agreeable and attrac-
tive Lei industry make home the abode Of
neatness and order-a place which brings salts
faction to every inmate, and which in absence,
draws back the heart by the fond associations Of
comfort and content Let this be done, and this
sacred spot will become more surely the scene
of cheerluIness and peace. Ye parents, who
would have your children happy, be industrious
to bring them up in the midst of pleasant,
cheerful and happy home. Waste not your
time in accumulating wealth for them; but plant
in their minds and souls, in the way proposed,
seeds of virtue and prosperity.

terrain Church In the light of these facts,
what is to be thought of these protesters, as
regards their simple honesty and love of tluthl
(3.) Were we to answer this for the commit
tee, we would say that America was particularly
referred TO,
L. Because she is the greatest slareholding
Christian nation ON earth.
2 Because America is the only country where
slavehoding is held to be consistent with, yea, a
part of the Christian system. Because the A.
merican Church is the only one in the Christian
world whose leading ministers justify Slavery
from the Christian Scriptures and practise it
themselves; whose bishops draw arguments from
the Golden Rule foI its jus ifcaton and sup
port. Because in view of these facts, America
was the only country from which newcomers,
souI-drvers, brokers who deal in beings stamped
with the image Of God and redeemed by the
blood Of his Son, would have brass enough to
appear and claim seats in a Christian Alliance
Does not the fact that no Shareholder appeared
protested, and that opposition to the exclusion of
shareholders was entirely an American measure,
begun, carried on, and ended as such, Justify the
above positions
(4) This is another clear justification of
Slavery. SIaveholdng Christians are termed
unofendng brethren" If then they are un-
offending, they must walk according to the Cos
pei rule from which it follows that 1t is accor-
ding to the Gospel to hold, buy and sell human
beings as chattels The charge that the course
would retard the abolition of slavery" may
serve to blind those who are ignorant Of the sub
j ct. 1t should be understood that it comcs
mainly from those who oppose every measure
for the abolition of Slavery, while they propose
no better plan. There is just as much force in
it as there is when rumseIlers and drinkers OBJ
Jet to the measures ofthe teetotallers because
they will injure Temperance. No doubt the
devil, thro' his agents. often objects to the zeal
of Christian, on the ground that it prejudices
pure Christianity.
(5) We will not comment specifically on all
the points in this long paragraph The repre-
that the Southern Churches are oppos-
ed to Slavery, and are ready to make all sacr-
fee in their power to abolish it, is untrue, as
every one must know. Why is the NJ E.
Church divided on the subject! That Church
never proposed the abolition of Slavery IN its
own pale; they only required that their Bishops
should not be Shareholders Other denomina-
tons are no better. These expressions of con-
fidence in, and sympathy for, shareholders as
Christians, are only one way of sanclionng
Slavery as embodied in those who practise it.

ThcOlOaiCal Discussions,

MIR. EDITOR:-l wish to say, that the discussion
between Brothers Putnam and Prinde should be clio
sed. The Liberty Party are not church to settle
moral or religious questions but political party, or
gained to accomplish one grant, and inn o:ant object
which is known and settled, We ayman is endowed
by his Creator with certain unalienabe rights-That
no man has right to deprive his brother of those
rights-That Southern slavery does deprive millions
of those rghts-And that, therefore, we will unite
and use al proper means to destroy southern slavery
his is avowed object, our One Idea. To this we
as party are bound to adhere. While we do this
we safe; but if we drag our anchor and are drift
ed round by other issues, shall soon be among the
breakers. Oar glory and our safety IN being men of
one idea; noble one indeed, but SIMPLE, and easy
to be understood. This we spread out before the
world, and invite all the friends of civil liberty to
come, and in good faith, help us to destroy slavery;
help us with your councils, your votes your money
your influence. The work is great and we want your
help. We do not ask, whether you are rich or poor,
black or white man, a Quaker or a Methodist; but
are you man, who has a soul to feel for your injured
brother, and hanl TO help him If so, come to our
Standard take your place. and prepare to act, to ex-
tlrpate the accused thing from our land
have lived long enough to know, that Yankees
want to NEEDLE with every thing; and they are too
apt to mix up every thing until all is spoiled Brother
Prindle may have good reasons for Withdrawing from
the Episcopal Methodist church, and brother Putnam
thinks he has good reasons for remaining with that
church at least for the present. As christians they
may discuss these questions, at pleasure hut must
think they have nothing to do with the Liberty ques-
tion and should not be mixed with It, If wing or
democrat, Baptist or Methodist, u Quaker or Una-
ran, will far merge his peculiar sentiments as to
unite cordially in putting down slavery, he has as good
a right in the liberty ranks as have. And have no
more right to inquire into his theological sentiments
than he has mine. On all such points each man is a
free agent, and must act for HIMSELF on his own res
possibility. The Liberty platform is equally open for
ali, who are willing to enlist for the war. And while
any man will play tie man, and by lawful means push
on the war until the slave power is put down, he has
as good right to his standing as any other man. This
being the case, hope, our good brothers will see the
pro?rety Of closing their discussion, shake hands, and
love- as well as ever. But if the discussion must be
protacted it should not be done in our Liberty paper
say this in all kindness to parties concerned and hope
they will so receive my remarks Let us all remem-
ber that Liberty men, as such, must be content with
one Idea. KIAH BAYLEY.

fETERBORo, Oct. 23d, lS4O.
Hon. Stephen c. Phillips Of Salem, Mass.
DEAR SIR:-This days mail brings me the
speech, which you delivered at the meeting re-
Gently assembled at Faneuil Hall, to consider
the outrage of kidnapping a man in the streets
of Boston. X
Your great Meeting was farce; and will you
pardon me, if I cite your own speech to prove
il? That speech, which denounces your fellow
citizen for stealing one man, was delivered by
gentleman, who (risum eneatis!) contends, that
a person who steals hundreds of men, is fit to
be President of the United States! 1t is ludi-
crous, beyond all parallel, tina, he, who would
crown with the hi chest honors the very prince of
kidnappers, should, with grave face hold up
to the public abhonence the poor man, who has
only just begun to try his hand at kidnapping
Then, your contemptuous bearing towards Capt
flaunum and his empoyers!-how Affected
If you shall not be utterly insensbe to the
claims OF consistency, who, when you shall have
Henry Clay to dine with you, will you allow to
be better entitled than Capt IIannum and
his employers, to seats at your table? Cease,
my dear SIR, from your outrages on consistency.
You glory in Mr.. Clay. How can you then
desplse and reproach those, who, with however
much Of the awkwardness of beginners, are,
nevertheless, doing their best to step forward
in the tracks of their "ustrions prede-
cessor?"
1t would be very absurd--wouId it not? for
you to denounce the stealing of single sheep,
at the same time that you are counting worthy
of all honor the man who steals whole flock of
sheen. But put it to your candor, whether it
would be whit more absurd than is your deep
loathing and unutterable contempt of Capt Han
nun and his employers for a crime, which,
though necessarily repeated and infinitely aggra-
waited in the case Of Mr., Clay, does not dsqua-
ily him, in your esteem, to be the chief ruler of
this nation--to be, what the civil ruler is required
TO be-"the minister of God"

NOTES ON THE ABOVE.

NOTES ON THE ABOVE.
Each note, marked by figure in the paren-
thesis, contains cur remarks on the paragraph
at the conclusion of which the same figure is
found
(.) That the practice of sIaveholding and
trading, trnf1icking in human souls, the purchase
of the Redeemer's blood has nothing to do with
the question of Christian union, and is circle.
want" to "purposes exclusively religious" is a
discovery worthy of American doctors of divin-
ty
These protesters tell us that 'Hhe Alliance is
a union of evangelical Christians, who agree in
the great doctrines of the Gospel" On this we
remark,
l. 1t follows by necessity, that there is moth
ing unevangecal in Slavery, and that those who
practice it are evangelical; from which it fol-
lows that Slavery must be right pure, evan
gelical.
q 1t follows, in the opinion of these pro-
testers, that Slavery is in harmony with "the
great doctrines of the Gospel it must there
fore involve nothing inconsistent with the truth,
or if it does, it conflicts only with the truth of
some of the small doctrines Of the gospel.
Once more; the protesters insist that the sub
ect of SIWery does not coMe "within the prev
nce of the Alliance" From this it must fol-
low that the basis of the Alliance does not re-
gard truth in belief, or righteousness in heart
or life or else that Slavery is consistent with
both truth and righteousness, in which case it
must be right.
Thus we see these protesters, in one short
paragraph in which they admit Slavery to be
wrong, positively justiying it by several separate
and distinct methods.
(2) The plea that the Anti-Slavery resolu-
ton of the committee came too late, is mere
preext There is not real ground work homes
ty enough in it to save it from putrefactlon. II
any one will take the names of the protesters
and inquire out the time of their departure, he
will find that with few exceptions, it was long
after the Anti-Savery resolutions had been re-
ceived and published throughout the country
