that the cats-paws of the South sacked his
house and burned his furniturel Was he
the advocate Of an anti-slavery political par
ty when a STAKEHOLDER most inhumanly and
insultingly franked him a negroes ear! Was
it opposition to Liberty party which induced
Congress to gag its constituents Was it
because Of his advocacy of a political anti
slavery movement that the slaveocracy stirr-
ed up a mob TO take the life of the noble
George thompson Was Elijah p. Lovejoy
a Liberty party editor when the slave power
shot him downl Was Amos Dresser fogg-
ed because he had in his possession address
sos Of Liberty party conventions Did Jas.
G.. Birney advocate the third party doctrines
when his press was thrown into the Ohiol
Did the South demand the firing of Pennsyl-
vania Hall, and exult like demons over its
destruction because slaveocracy so hated Lib
erty party9 Were the slaveholding mobs of
Cincinnati melted by Liberty party ballotsl
Did the mobocrats of Charleston break omen
the Post Office in order to destroy Liberty
party papers! Were the resolutions of nor
thcrn merchants in 1867, assuring the
South that New York, and Boston, and Phil
adelpbia were sound to the core on the ques-
tion Of slavery, adopted in order to allay the
agitation which Liberty party had created?
Truth answers all these questions with a most
emphatic NO! Yet the I~nteHigencer would
have us infer one of two things: either that
there was no excitement among the slavehol-
ders previous to 1910 when the Liberty par
ty was formed, or if there was an excitement
1t was produced by the retrospective action
OF that party in some manner which is per-
fectly inexplicable to us. We state facts,
and leave our readers to draw what ~conclu-
sion they can in regard to the intelligence or
honesty of such papers.

EFFECTS OFTHENEWS FROM
HAYTI.
WAsulyGroy, Dec. 80, 1915.

WAsHiSGroH, Dec. 80, 1915.
Your number Of yesterday, which arrived
here t.lis morning, continuing the important
news from your correspondents in Hayti
and St. Domingo, fell like a bomb shell a.
mong all the politicians, from the Capitol to
the White House, and throughout every no
tel, tavern, and oyster cellar in the CITY,
''Have you seen the Herald this morningl''
said one. NO; what is in it!' sid the per-
son spoken to-'Why the d. the first
would reply--'go get a copy, and read for
YOURSELF But alas, for his comfort. there
were no Heralds to be found after nine o.
clock. Every place where one could be found
was secured in order to read the news from
st. Domingo, which filed one entire page Of
interesting and important matter. In both
Houses Of Congress might be seen groups of
members talking together upon the subject,
perfectly amazed, and wondering at Benefits
industry in getting such information even in
advance Of the government. Nothing that
has appeared Oh the tapis during the last ten
years was calculated 10 cause more excite
ment throughout this country and Europe,
than the information thrown before the public
in those letters, respecting that island in your
columns. Oregon and Texas are completely
cast in tho shade by them, and it would not
surprise NE iuNCli MCit L " I iOtOOU iitl
on their way to that island before one month.
They wGnt such a free H6re at this time, in
order to rescue the island from negro domin-
alton, and restore ii 10 tie White race, to whom
it properly belongs. l have heard a gentle
man say, who had just returned from thera,
that five thousand abla-bodied men, in addi-
ton to the Dominican forces, would conquer,
in forty-eight hours the whole OF that part &C.
cupied by the blacks. There are no existing
treaties between the United States and Hay
ii, to prevent our citizens from going there in
any character they please, and know from
what have learned on the subject, that as
~sistance of this sort would be accepted by the
Dominican government, and ample provision
made for those who would emigrate there for
the purpose of sustaining the white govern
ment and people against the black savages,
with whom they are contending for liberty
and independence.

MORAL POWER.

At tho recent Liberty party convention
at Columbus, it was on motion of Mr.. New
in
Resolpcd, That while We rel y upon mora
truth as an efficient instrument in consum
mating our enterprise, it is in connection
with its development through the ballot box
Those who depend upon political action
for the reformation of the world, cannot I'M.
derstand the omnipotence Of a moral princi-
pie. If the position assumed by the mem
bcrs of that convention, be one on which
moral reformers should stand, we would re-
commend them to revive the Bible, and make
the doctrine it teaches more nearly cores
pond with their own. "The Truth shall
make you Free" we would suggest be alter
cd so as to read The Ballot Box shall make
you Free" The declaration that Truth a.
bove all things beareth away the victory
could be qualified thus-"Next to a political
party, the Truth above all things beareth a
way the victory"

they will silently acquiesce in the measure.
the daie-the General Assembly of Ohio de-
Nlared by resolution that the annexation o.
Texas would be unjust, inexpedient and de
structive of the peace, safety, and we'll being
Of the n%ation;" that it would be u~nconstitu-
%,ional," and that the people of Ohio cannot
be bound by any such covenant, league, or
arrangement" Well, Texas has been an
nexed, and Ohio is knowing to the fact
Her Legislature is now in session; but have
its members declared the Union dissolved!
Have they even protested against the act!-
Neither. Not a %whimper has COM from
them; their resolution of '43 has no power
over them when it comes in contact with the
interests Of party; and if the people had more
faith in God and less in politics they would
have long since learned how little depend
ence is to be placed in such declaration.-
There too is the address of twenty members
of Congress to the people of the Free States,
issued at the close of the 9th, Congress, ii
which they solemnly declare aye hesitate
not TO say, that annexation, Effected by any ac
or proceeding Of the Federal Government, OF
any Of lis department., ..,oOuM be identical cih
dissolution" and that they, as well as the resi-
of the North, would not submit to it. a.
Where are now those menl Standing in con
n%ection with the Union, the State Of Texas
included. Not one Of them-so far as oui
knowledge extenjs--has practically assumed
the position, which he theoretically maintain
ed in '43 to be the true one. Several of then
are members of the present Congress, and in
stead of leaving their seats as soon as the U
Mon with Texas was consunlmated, they have
by their action, given the lie to their forme
assertions.
The politician is not to be trusted; his de
sire for power tends to corrupt his heart, an(
the possession of it almost invariably blind.

ORIGIN OF SLAvERY.-Lord Mansfield said
in the Somerset case" The state of slavery
is of such a nature, that it is incapable of be-
ing now introduced by courts of Justice upon
mere reasoning or differences from any prin-
ciples, natural or political. 1t must take its
rise from positive lar; the origin of it can in
no country or age be traced back to any 9TH
er source. A case so odious as the condition
Of slaves, must be tlken strictly"
Tested by this simple principle, Slavery
never had a legal origin in one of the States
of this Union, for there is not one in which
it originated in any express legal enactment.
-Emancipa'Or.
Thanks for the admission that Slarery
nerer had a legal origin in one Of the States d
This Union" We hope to hear no more OF
the doctrine that Liberty party has so sol
EMMY laid down that, SLAVERY IS TIE CREA.
rURE OF LAW, and therefore must be over
thrown by legal action. Go to the root Of
the matter Mr.. Emancipator, and leave those
to tinker with the laws who believe that sla-
very originated in them.

THE SLAVES GRATITUDE.

In a recent conversation with a friend who
had seen much of slavery in his trading voy-
ages on the Mississippi, he said that on one
occasion when he was stopping at a planta-
ton landing, a bright little slave boy of ~
or II years Of age, came on his boat and
begged for something to eat. He gave him
some bread and butter which was received
with thankfulness, and the poor child said to
him in his own uneducated dialect "When
/ dies and goes to God, I'll tell him that you
gave me this"
The true anti-slavery reformer has many
difficulties TO contend with, he has his hours
of sorrow-his seasons Of darkness and dis
tress--he is prosecuted and d~espised by the
community in which he lives, and is not G.
ven allowed TO hold communion with those
for whose deliverance he is toiling. His
deeds Of benevolence and acts of philanthro-
ply are misrepresented, he is called fanatic,
fool, and infdel-society derides him, and
posterity may fail to do him justice, yet the
thanks and blessings of those that are ready
to perish more than compensate him for all
that he may endure. And when the slave
shall be emancipated from his earthly chains,
when the mortal which slavery has degraded
and brutalized shall put on its robes of inn
mortality, and the cnfranchised spirit min
giles in the blessed throng that surrounds the
throne Of its Creator, when it recalls the his
tory of its earthly life, its blighted hopes, its
crushed affections, its prison house Of dark
ness and despair into which the sunlight
smile of happiness scarce ever entered, tho
labors of those who toiled for its deliverancC
shall not be forgotten and the slave child in
tho simplicity of its heart may tell to its
Father-God the acts of kindness that were
done it on earth. 1t matters little then
what may be said of US here. if our deeds are
such as to benefit mankind, they shall be re-
membered with gratitude on earth, and APP
provingly recorded in heaven.

an accursed thing, the Union by which She
is made accessory to this iniquity, she il
hardly deserving Of a better fate than the
contempt with which the siaveocracy visits
her, a. the same time that it makes her do
its robber-work. If she will not turn now
npon her tyrant, her poser of endurance mg3y
be calcnlried upon as infinite. Ihe wtrId
shall point its finger at her, and re curses OF
millions of slaves, who will yet peop.e lex
as, shall be heaped upon her.
"Darision shall strike her forlorn.
A mocRery that never shall die,
And the curses of hate, and the Kisses of
scorn
Shall burthen the winds of the sky"
Slavery is made "the fundamental, irrepa-
rble law of a region larger than Italy, new
or yet trodden by Il slave says Greedy; and
the commentary is, to remember political OPP
ponents at the polls, and make new capital
for another cheating and cheated party. So
much for the amor p1frip of partisan politics.
They know nothing higher than an appeal to
the ballot-Dox and have no higher aims than
to turn their opponents out Of office, and get
themselves in.-.7nfi-Slarery Standard.

STRONG

The Cerelani american as appears from
the following extract is as strongly opposed
TO pro-slavery churches as is S. S. Foster
himself. We hope that Liberty party will
no longer take us to task for using hard Ian
guage when We speak of the church and cler-
gy, while one of its own papers afirms that
they are doing more to %injure Christianity
than the "Son Of Perdition himself"
I'VE belive, most ~sslemnly, judging by
the effects produced, that the position of a
great portion of the American church, pdrtic-
ularly the Clergy, and more particularly the
titled Clergy, upon the subject of slav-
erv, is doing more for the promotion of inf
deity in the world, than all the other causes
combined, which spring from heaven, earth
and hell. Rev. DIR. Rice, of Cincinnati, Rev.
DR.. Lord, of Buffalo, and Rev. DR.. Stuart, Of
Andover, are doing more by their position on
this subject, to bring suspicion on the Bible,
and distrust upon the religion CT the gospel,
and contempt upon the institution of the
Christian ministry, than all the combined in
f~uences of Tom Paine, N%oltaire, and the son
of perdition himself. But it is gratifying
that new counteracting influences are con-
stantly multiply ing aronnd us. We believe
tho day is well nigh PAST, when these iniu-
ences shall 60 forth for evil through the
earth"

THE PATRIOTISM OF PARTY.

Greeley's Tribune, in an article on Annex
alton, after speaking in indignant terms of
the manner in which the Bill was pressed
through the House, by the majority who Sin
suit your understandings, and abuse language
by calling themselves Democrats" says, in
conclusion:--" Freemen of the Union! shall
they not be remembered at the polls?" Rath-
er a lame conclusion, it strikes Inc, to a half
column of indignant rebuke Of an act of ma
tional crime unparalleled in the history OF
civilized nations. Remember them at the
polls! If the freemen of the North forget to
remember the deed, which is an insult to the
age, except at the polls, not even the name of
freemen--which is al! that is left them now
will be left them much longer. Remem-
Der them at the polls, forsooth If there is
not manhood enough in the North to forget
these miserable parties, and their canting
watch-words, and trampie under her feet, as

FACT TO be PoNDaRED.-An intelligent
friend recently from New Orleans, has in
terested us not a little in giving 4 relation 0!
the state of feeling at the South, respecting
the political movement of AbolitioniSts here
at the North. This friend was present at a
great Democratic gathering just before the
election last fall, at which Gov. Broom made
a speech. In his speech, he reviewed the
history of the Anti-Slavery movement from
its rise, with astonishing accuracy and pre-
cision. He said that the movement up to
the period of the formation of a distinct par
ty for the overthrow OF slavery, presented
nothing alarming, nothing to excite the
smallest apprehension. But from that mo-
ment it had worn an aspect most threatening
and portentious. And to crush the move
ment, he said the south must unite. Let the
Northern man remember this fact, when he is
disposed to belittle the effect of Liberty par
ty action.-Lib. Intel.
If the above intelligence be true, Cover
,ernor Brown manifests as much ignorance in
relation to the history of the anti-slavery en-
,~terprise, as did a speaker whom we heard
accuse VIM. Lloyd Garrison of being the
cause of the st. Domingo insurrection-or
revolution, as it would be called if it had
been accomplished by any but "niggers."-
They, poor fellows, can't reUOlutiOnize, their
efforts never amount to any thing more than
a 'nigger Instruction"
The endorsement Of the Liberty L~nteHigencer
shows that the editor OF that paper is igno-
rant of what he ought to know, or else that
he is willing to conceal the facts of a%nti-sla-
very history. Was VIM. Lloyd Garrison
an advocate of Liberty party when the Geor-
eia Legislature offered a reward of $4,000 for
his headl Was it because of the action o!
that party that Southern influence stirred up
a "property and standing" mob against the
editor of the Liberator' Was it because
Lewis Tappan cast a Liberty party ballot
