THE CHURCH.
ing age.

The following extracts are from a report
presented to The Hudson Liberty party con.
vention by Father Keep" on the relation
of the American Church to Slavery, and its
duty in relation thereto. They are well
worthy of %perusal, and, with very slight ex-
ceptions, we can adopt the sentiments of the
entire document.
A Church is any number of protested be-
levers in Christ, associated for the purpose
Of intoxicating the truths he taught, and main
tanning tho ordinances he appointed. Its
spiritual elements are love 10 God and love
10 man. Its visible embodied elements are
persons, in any given locality, denOmlnated
Christians, and in covenant with each fther
TO publish the doctrines, and TO follow the eS-
ample of their common head and leader. All,
who thus publicly covenant, are recognized
as the riSi6Lc Church on earth. All such,
likewise, not thus associated, who possess
the spirit of Christ, who really love his teach
ings, and his character, doing his command
ments and following his example, are truly
his disciples, and recognized as members of
the invisible church of Christ. Persons of
this last description, whether or not members
of any visible church organization, Christ
calls his sheen, and connects with them the
ever FURNISHED fact, Ny sheep hear my poice
and ] know them, and they FOLLOW Me-
OF all such, both associated and individually,
he says, aye are the salt oi the earlh-ye
are the light of the world"
y Whatever else
may perish from among men, the true Church
If Christ wiH lire. Within her precincts
alone, is the virgin soil on which civil and
religious liberty can vegetaie and become
mighty, and send abroad its power to elevate
nations, and TO bless the race. Philosophy
in her best days, and in her best robes,
never gave birth to that charity which
builds hospitals and provides for the poor
and the oppressed /; while such results,
like the blossoms Of Eden, lie thick and
splendid, and lovely, along the wake Of
Christian enterprise. The true Church of
Christ, by which is meant nothing less than
an association of holy men, or real Chris
tians, Is Heavens appointed agency, TO re-
move from among men every description Of
moral evil-and when she fills up the mea.
sure of her Dufy--when in the fitness oil

age, and becomes the almoner 10 the VOL,
the good God assigns for the race. In thi
position and with such activities, the ChurcI
becomes a "Do Right Society,"" and ever
other organization for reform may safely fal
in as subordinate ins~tTumentalities.

Visit TO Ohio.

We have long been importuned, by our
friends and coadjutors at the West, to make
them a visit; but we have not yet been able
to comply with their wishes. Our transat-
lanilc tour, last summer, prevented us from CO.
Ing to Ohio at that time, as we had intende al
an early period in the year. We now desire
the editors of the Anti-Slavery Bugle TO an
%nounce, that we purpose visiting that State
as early as The ensuing first Of .august, and
trust nothing will occur 10 prevent our carry
ing this purpose into effect. We shall cal
cnlate to spend the month of August in
Ohio, but cannot prolong our visit more than
four or five weeks.

The Cincinnati Herald again.

The editor of the Cincinnati Herald ap-
pears to take it very unkindly that we rebu-
'ked him for advertising in his editorial col
unns, that certain persons had opened a re-
c%ruiting office where volunteers for the Mex
ncan war would be received and is so excl
tied in consequence that he forgets 10 tell his
readers that we not only published all he re-
'quested in relation to 1.-The Ohio Volunteers
&C.," but tpice as much, and then-to prove,
we suppose, that he has done just right in
relation TO the war-insinuates that many of
our readers as well as ourselves, are FOOLS
We shall not complain so far as we are con-
-cerned, for we are content to be called fools
so long as no word or deed of ours can be
construed into a sanction of the butchery Of
Mexicans, or-we may add-of gambling!
In the very No. of the Herald in which
he so courteously notices us is an article from
the pen of his reporting editor-for which
of course, the principal is responsible-head-
ed "A RAFFLE," the substance of which is,
that four pictures by Mrs. Spencer are to be
ratified for. In it occasion is taken to say,
"we hope that The rg6iing CiH not need 70
Wai long befOre the tickets UiH all be taaen."
1t may be an evidence Of foolishness on
our part to see anything amiss in this appro-
val of so aristocralic a mode of gambling as
the Rattle, but certain old fashioned notions
that we long since imbibed, cause us so to
sympathize with Green, in his anti-gambling
reform, that the commentator even of a Raj
fie, though coming as this does through the
columns of a Liberty party paper, is repul-
sive 10 our sense of moral right.

OF We have been requested to publish
the proceedings of a meeting Of "The Me-
chanics and Working Mems Association of
Salem" held on Saturday evening last. As
this is a local society and but a small portion
Of our readers will feel interested in its pro.
cecdings, we do not think it best to publish
them.
We are frequently asked to give place in
our columns to minutes of meetings of local
Temperance Societies and others not Anti
Slavery, and have generally declined doing
SO. We have not acted thus owing TO any
lack Of interest in the different branches Of
Reform; but from a conviction that the pro-
ceedings of lccal societies canno, be interest
ing 10 more than a few, comparatively, Of our
subscribers. We deem this explanation adj
visable in order that the working people of
Salem, and others who have made similar
requests may not infer from our not comply
ing with their wishes, that we are %unfdvo-
rlble to their measures or objects.

GRAHAM's April number has come to us
in its beautiful dress, and laden with its usu-
al variety. 1t contains two finely executed
landscape engravings. One is a field Of
death-the battle ground of Saratoga where
laundering cannon are belching forth their
murderous contents and sweeping hundreds
from the stage of life. There is represented
dead and dying mortality, and living men
whose entire thoughts are bent on human
slaughter, and whose highest ambition is TO
murder their brothers. The other is a view
of Pittsburgh. There flows the Mononga-
hela and Allegheny, and there sweeps the
widening tide OF the Ohio whose waters are
formed by a union of the twain. Boats ply
to and fro, manufactures send forth their
dense columns of smoke, and you can almost
hear the busy hum of industry which comes
up from the populous city. This is a scene
where mans power is directed to create, that
where his energies are expended 10 destroy.

Affairs in Mexico.

There is great probability that a severe
contest has taken place between the forces
of Santa Anna and those of Gen. Taylor
The former is reported to have had 25 900
men under his command, while the latter had
but about one fifth of that number. The last
authentic accounts from Taylor, represent
him as being in a very critical position, as
indeed appears TO be the case with most of
the attachments of the American army in
Mexico-and this, of itself, would be suff-
cient to give Rumor an additional pair of
wings. When We receive intelligence that
we think may be relied upon, we will give
it but ii seems hardly worth while to occu-
py our columns with an account Of "Great
Battle at Saltillo," in which 4 or 5000 Mex
leans and 2O00 Americans were killed, while
so little is known about the authenticity Of
the report.
There have been Instructions in New
Mexico and California among the newly con-
quered citizens of those provinces, and some
of the Americans in authority there have been
massacred. This, however, is nothing more
than should have been expected. Mexican
citizens who have been compelled to allure
their W government and take an oath Of
allegiance ~Proffered by their invaders, are moi
the right material TO make the most loyal and
peaceable subjects. These instructions are
probably but the beginning of the end, unless
the constant presence of a standing army
among them prevents further outbreaks.

From The National Era.
Mr.. Cilley.
these facts,

We Supposed, from a mere glance at the
revised speech of Mr.. Cilley, when it was
handed to us for publication, that the ques-
iionable portions Of it, as originally reported
in the National lntelligencer, had been
amended but, on reading 1t over carefully,
we must confess our disappointment. II is
not such a speech as was 30 bt expected from
an anli-slavery man. 1t takes right ground
in recommending the withdrawal Of our
troops from Mexico, but assigns very poor
reasons for it. Above all, it is sadly def
cient, in not p~ronouncing a plain, hearty,
unqualified sentence Of condemnation upon
the war, its authors and sbettors.
While upon this topic, VI must express
our modification on another account. The
Bugie, Of Salem, Ohio, publishes the fol-
lowing letter:
WAoBISGroS, FeG. ~, le47.
DEAR SIN As | am not yet in favor Of q
dissolution Of the Union Of the United States,
| return the petitions directed to me with a
request TO present them 10 the Senate Of the
United States.
Yours, respectfully.

BENJ. S. JONES, Esq, Salem, o.
This is a strange letter. We are not in
favor OF a dissolution Of the Union, any mere
than Mr.. Cilley is. We should deem it a
terrible calamity but what right has Mr..
Ciliey, or any other Senator, to set up his
Judgment, as law, for any portion of the peo-
pie, and tell them what they shall and shall
not petition for The ground assumed by
the venerable Adams should be sustained by
every lover Of freedom. We go for the right
of petition, rnquali6edly-a right before the
Constitution and under the Constitutions
right, inherent in human nature, in bond and
free, alien and native. Let there be nc gag
ging by Congress as a body, orby Congress-
men individually.
