"ScribGs, PhariSeeS. llypoCri,eS.'
The end Baptist Church Of Salem-the
dnti-sIaoery church we mean-it will be re-
membered, recently refused admission to
those who wished to give a concert of anti
slavery and other moral and reformatory songs.
The piety of its members, doubtless, would
have been exceedingly shocked by such a
Dissertation of their house-their religion was
too holy thus 10 be trileJ with but on Mon
day night last their doors were freely opened
to a blind harper, who performed VALUES,
Quadrilles, and other pieces which, we sup
pose, were more in accordance with their
ideas of religion than are anti.slavery sen,i-
ments.
The secret of their conduct is probably to
be found in a reply madeby a friend Of ours 10
one who asked what was the reason the Bap-
lists had acted so wickedly.-"They Know
said he, "that Values and Quadrilles will
not hurt their church, but that anti-slavery
will dash their corrupt organization 10 pieces
MERCER CoUNrY D~EMocRAcY.-At a De-
mOcrdtjc q Convention held in Mercer coun-
ty, Ohio, on the 2lst of August, the follow
ing resolution was adopted =
Reso}rsd, That We approve of the decided
stand takenby the Democracy Of Ohio against
negro privileges within our borders, and that
we will cast our vote for no man who is an
abolitionist in principle, or in favor of re.
pealing the black laws of this State.
Judging of the Democrats of Mercer by
the above specimen of their political princi-
pies, they are a set of ignoramuses who have
as little knowledge of human rights, as the
Emperor of China has Of "tho outside bar
barians," and are probably as much pulled
up with self-conceit as is the - Brother TO
the Sun"
Poor degraded MORALS! We wish they
were half as Democratic as the Bey of Tu-
mis-. Nicholas of Russia is "A ''Democrat
dyed in the WOOL compared with them.
JONI =. HALE.-A recent number of the
Emancipator contains a long leader, advo-
eating the claims of John p. Hale to a nomi-
nation fol the Presidency by Liberty party.
What can be the reason that that party turns
away from lis own leaders and looks to the
Independent Democrats for a Presidential
candidate! Has it in its ranks none so hon
est, none SO capable, none SO available as
John p. Hale
Alas! for the glory of The party, when it
marches to the battle field under the banner
of a stranger chieitain And yet, we sup
pose, it will continue to swell, and strut, and
swagger, and put on all the airs of a political
party, even though it may not be able to
raise a Presidential candidate without bor-
rowing from the Independents.
A CHEERING FACr.-Tne Despotism Of
the Old World appears to be more favorable
TO the equality of man than the Republican,
ism of the New. Late advices from Europe
bring intelligence of an act on the part of the
King OF Denmark, which should put to blush
the Democratic sIave-mongers of this land.
On the 2Sth of July, he issued a decree de-
claring that all persons thereafter born in his
dominions SHOULD BE RoRN FREE and that

all those held as slaves should 90 free, and
that no compensation be given to their own
ers.
Thus is the work Of emancipation pro.
crossing, and kings and despots are abolish
ing a slavery that republicans protect.
WARS IN A NAME THE Cincinnati
Herald is out in favor of a new nam for Lii
berty party, or The Liberty party, as some
of its friends have insisted il should be call
ed. "INDEPENDENr DEMocRAT," it is sug-
gested, will sound quite as well as Liberty
party man and, as their is a great probabili-
ty that the leader of the Independent Demo-
Gratis, No. 1, will be Liberty party's nomi-
nee for the Presidency, there is certainly a
show Of propriety in the latter assuming the
name of the former. Whether Hale and his
friends will fancy such an unceremonious
appropriation Of their name, is perhaps a
matter of small importance to the I~ndepen-
dent Democrats No. 2.

attendance. The women of Ohio, we think
