are mostly used up; iron is falling in price;
and the prospect Of the suffering Of the poor

is appalling.
CANADA.--We learn from the Quebec

INTENSE CoLp.-On the morning of tho

the anti-Texas petitions, Mr.. Johnson of
Tenn, sent up to the clerk. to read some
slave advertisements in Boston papers of the
years ~l7ii-5, which is said to have made
much merFimont. This may be very wi'ty-but
the only point w can see in it is, that there
is a difference of a century between the CIV

At Galveston, Texas,previous 10 the 18th,
the weather had been severely cold, ice for

OHIO LEGISLATORS

Since our last there has not been much
Of interest before the State Legislature. This
usual number and variety of petitions have
been presented, and in this respect the history
ct one days proceedings is the history of ali.
Those who think the agricultural into rests Of
the State should receive more attention arc
petltIoning TO that effect. Wool-prowers are
demanding protection in the form ef a tax on
dogs, The advocates for the erection of new
counties are STAINING every nerve to have the
state newly mapped, while those who are
opposed to that measure, are enteaycring by
petitions and otherwise TO influence their Re-
personalities against 1.-THE discussion in
such clse will doubtless he made with less
regard to the wishes of the people. than for
political effect. Some are trying TO effect a
change In the License law-the number of
petitions sent in by such is an e, idence that
those who are pushing this measure do not
lack zeal.
Another subject Of interest brought before
the Legislature by petitions is that in refer
ehce 10 the protection of burial places. In
some OF the L7rthern counties, where of late,
graves have been repeatedly violated, the
feeling appears to be strong and general. A
bllI has been reported in the Senate "to pro-
vide for the inviolability of places Of human
sepulture,' and will doubtless pass.
some who have become convinced that
hanging is not as the clergy teach, one Of tho
ofdlnances of God, are endeavoring to abol-
isi the death penalty. Heaven speed their
labors. Quite a number of petitions have
been presented on that subject, but not as
many as we could desire.
Ia the House a petition was presented by
Mr. Gallagher, signed by II. Barton, Maria
j.. Niidman and 81 others, citizens of Greene
and Clark co., for the passage of a resolution
requesting our Senators and Representatives
IN Congress to oppose the annexation Of Tex
as an in case Of a failure of their efforts, to
resign their seats in Congress, thus declar-
ing that the Union is virtually dissolved, &c.
referred to the committee on Federal Rela-
tons.
Petitions for the repeal OF the Black Laws
continue 10 pour in; we have little faith how
ever that the present Legislature will wipe
that stain from the Statute Book.

has deluded many, and made its followers
believe a lie. They have turned away from
the simple teachings of Truth, the echoes of
that voice which filled the hearts Of the Ju-
dean poor with hope and gladncss, comes to
them with no pleasant sound. The Priest
hood has long enough ruled in the world, has
long enough been a stumbling block in the

THE NEW YEAR.

Another year has passed from earth TO bear
the record of mans deeds to the presence Of
the Most High-to tell of the hopes and fears
that stirred the human heart, Of the promp-
tings OF charity and benevolonce, Of grasping
avarice and relentless cruelty, CT duties per-
formed and Of duties omitted, Of all the acts
which mark the checkered existence Of every
man and render him a blessing or a curse to
his fellows. Standing upon the threshold Of
another year, It is well for us to look into the
Past,
And az VIC scan the path we trod,
Its scenes of JOY, and hope, and fear;
To consecrate ourselves to God
Throughout the coming year.
Whatever of JOY may have been mingled
in our cup, whatever of happiness may have
been our ut, we know that there are many
N our land 10 whom the year that is just past
brought TO relief, who still YEARLY clank
their CALLING fetters,and sit pining in captivi-
~. Oh, how like mockery 10 the slave OF
this land must sound the general greeting Of
A happy New-Yoar.' To three Millions of
our citizens that phrase has no ioyousm aaniug.
The plundered husbands of this land whose
companions have been barterod for gold, the
many Rachels who weep for their stolen chill
dren, TIE brothers and sisters who have been
torn from each others embrace, all of these
enter upon the newyear without y and with
out hope. And why is it so? If the advent
of 1913 found the chain fastened upon the
suffering bondman, why was not that year
made the year of his enlranchisement? Why
was he not in is redeemed, rcgonorated,
and disenthralled by the irresistible mower
of the Genius of Universal Emancipation"
The answer will be found in the fact, that
that power was not invoked; and upon the
christian professors, and especially upon the
clergy Of our land rests the enormous guilt
Of continuing the horrible system of American
Slavery. The Church has refused to "re-
member them that are in bonds as bound with
them," the clergy have refused to 4" preach
deliverance TO the captive" and with scarcely
an exception both Layman and Priest contin-
ne to "strike hands with thieves and robbers,
and consent with adulterery and murderer "
Let the friends Of the slave resolve that
another year shall not pass by without wit
Messing a greater effort for his redemption.
Let them grid themselves anew for the contest
and instead of finding an excuse fortheir owr
neglect in the lukewarnness and indifference
of others, as too many have done, let them
regard it as an evidence that there is more
neod for their labors, that greater zeal and
activity are demanded at their hands. 4
great and arduous work is before them. The
Church and Clergy are to be converted, OF
else their denominations and order will be
dashed to pieces. The public mind has tc
be regenerated, and led to see the Truth, mo-
dimly as through a glass, but clearly as the
sun is seen in the cloudless sky. The grea'
heart of humanity may not be stayed in lit
throbbings Its pulsations are strong and true
but Priestcraft with its qsack pretensions,it

THE BAPTISTS.

Some of the Northern Baptists, who ar,
tincturad with Abolitionism, have %insiste,
that since the separation which took place il
their denomination, the Northern portion ough
not to be regarded as pro-slavery. We have
always thought otherwise, and we perceive
that a correspondent of the Boston journal
over the signature of "a Baptist" is of the
same opinion, at least so far as 10 hold that
the relation Of northern and southern churches
is not changed; the writer even denies there
has been any separation in the Baptist church.
The following extracts are from the commu-
n~ica;ion referred to.
There has been a withdrawal on the part
Of the South from the Baptist General Con-
vention, which was established chiefly for
Foreign Missionary purposes. But that with
drawal in no respect effects the order, the in
dependence, or the fellowship of Baptist
Churches. The Caaroi relations, both of the
South and the North, remain precisely the
same as they were before this recent schism
in the missionary body"

CAS- there was no one church extending
through the country to be rent in twain, the
rent has not taken place; but the churches of
this denomination held precisely the same re-
lation to each other which they have always
held, viz: good will to all-compllisance to-
wards those who are supposed to deserve it
and the entire independence Of each church
as to authority Or dictation from all other bo-
dies, ecclesiastical or otherwise. There is
therefore no Church schism among the Bap-
fists, as has been represented"

A FAITHFUL SENTINEL.

Z On Sunday evening, as Captain Woods of
the Seventh District Police, was patrsllng
bis Ward, he was attracted 10 oihe corner of
Divsion and Montgomery streets, by The ap-
pearance Of a dozen or so Of individuals,
who seemed 10 be formed into a large semi
circle around some can ral object, which lay
near the wall ON the sidewalk. On arriving
among them he discovered that the entire
posse were the stars Of the City Police, with
the exception of the ncuclei, drunken
man, and very large and powerful dog
The inebriate was stretched upon his back,
and seemed 10 be far adyaaced into the land
iof unquiet dreams, while the. quadruped,
squatting upon bis launches, rested lightly
ono paw upon the breast of bis helpless
master, and turning an eye Of defiance upon
the crowd, grswled low but Significantly,
whenevsr an attemst was made TO approach
the persen Of the iInconscous man. The
Policemen thuadered their clubs upon the
pavement, but the dog only raised his upper
lip, disclosing in the uncertain lamp light,
double row Of formidable ivory, cleaning
like virgin pearl, and as dangerous looking
as a steel trap. The nsxt attempted 10 close
in, but his large blue eyes grow suddenly 10
two unearthly orbs Of green aud crimson
flame, that seemed 10 radiate aud change
with prisnatic hucs, and half spiinging over
the body Of the PROSTATE drunkard, snarl
that ratified deep down his cspacious throat,
spoke very plainly thai, however officials
might feel on the subject, he had duty TO
perform that admitted Of no trihng. The
selfsacri6ciDgl fdelity sfgiho single-hearted
brute won even tho hcaris Of III, SO police
men, and, not wishing % destroy the noble
fellow, at the suggestion Of Capt, Woods, he
was left in quiet possession of his nsensible
companen---who was in fact as well gnaldsd
as he could have been in u station house--
and during the long watches ofthe entire
night, the sleepless eye Of al least one faith
ful.fend looked down, With uniring gaze
upsn that almost 'napim3te, clod, with as
much tenderness ahd care ds mother would
watch her Steering infant. Several times
during the night The roundsman, on his lonely
beat, paused to observe the twain. The
dog had crouched beside bis master, his
nose resting lovingly on the bosom Of The
slumbsring man, whsse loud and labored
brsathings told how deep had been his
debauch, yet his eyelids never seemed to
areop, or his purpossd watch 10 tire. As
morning streaked the East, the slumbcrer
reused, aud shaking his thirst at the nearest
hydrauf, staggered on towards his home, the
dog keeping even pace with the devious
steps Of the brute beside him, uniil turning
down towards the docks, both disappeared
in the grey gloom of the approaching day.
Such is u dog--wllat are men?
