From the LiJeria .4drocatc.
Reasoning of a Louisiana Planter.
ADAMS CO., Miss, Feb. II, 1917.

Editor IF Liberia .4duocate -
DEAR SIR Mot very long ago, l had the
pleasure of meeting with wealthy and intel
ligent planter in Louisiana, who gave his
views concerning the religious instruction of
slaves. He is not a member of any church,
and not only so, but he is frequently skepti-
cal on the subject Of religion. This is one of
the circumstances that made his reasoning, in
reference to his slaves, peculiarly interesting
to me-perhaps the same may prove some
what interesting to you and 10 some Of the
readers Of your valuable paper. OF course,
no names will be expected in a communica-
ton of this kind. Suffice it to say, as regards
the planter himself, he is a gentleman Of ed
ucatlon and wealth, of good and temperate
habits, noble, generous, and honorable in all
his dealings with his fellow-men; IN a word,
he is what the world would call a f~rsl-rate
Louisianian.
In the course Of the conversation, after lis
tenlng to the difficulties of his own mind on
the subject of religion, | asked him how he
felt IL reference to his servants. His reply
shall be given as nearly as possible in his
own words.
Said he, 81 have reasoned with myself il
this manner-itis true there are doubts in my
own mind as regards the Bible, as to It's be
ing the true word of God, and as to lis tell
ing what is to be the true state of man in tn
world to come. But Notwithstanding m,
doubts, it is the part of wisdom for me /
choose the safe side, at least, the safest sid
possible.
suppose, then, that the Bible should a
last be found to be true what will be my sill
%uation! ] shall have more to answer for my
self than ] can do-without having t. answe
for my servants. They are in my hand AM

greatly depend, reader, upon your Efforts

A WESLEYAN Methodist.

The following extract of a letter f.om II.
w. Curtis will show the position of at least
one Wesleyan Methodist.
Sour meeting in Augusta was not large,
but those in attendance seemed much inte-
rested. At the intervals between meetings
many gathered in groups, and gave evidence,
by the engagedness with which they con-
versed, that what we had said had not fallen
upon the ears of idle listeners. Considering
the unpopularity of our views, what, but a
strong apprehension of their truth, can excite
so much interest? The fact is, dead as the
public conscience seems TO be, the people are
not at ease in their guilty position.
GAS we brought our charges against the
Churches, who do You imagine was on hand
for their defense? None other than Mr..
Hamlin, the Wesleyan Minister whom you
met in debate but a few days previously "
He apologized for the infamous resolutions
of the General Conference of the NJ. Il.
Church of SO, very similarly as | have heard
the priests of that church do. He said that
the Methodist Episcopal, Presbyterian, Bap-
list and Disciple Churches were not what
they should be. But yet they were rgorm-
ing, were on the advance. His duty to them,
therefore, was to call to them to come on,
and not to denounce them as anti.christiar
bodies. scarce ever witnessed a more ser
vile attempt to soothe the conscience of a
profigate church. And is this Wesleyan
anti-slavery? If so, what an imposition"
Remembering the way Mr.. Hamlin talked
during the discussion at Mt. Union abou
"setting the slaves loose" and withholding
their civil rights until they were prepared fo
Them we are not surprised to hear of hin
as above. In his defense of the anti-slavery
character of the U. S. Constitution, he eX
cused the trainers of it for the insertion o
the hree5ffh clause, by saying it was dom
to e~qualize the representation, that had it no
been allowed the South would not have hat
near so many Delegates in Congress as III
North.

An extra of the New Orleans Times of
July 7, announces the arrival of the steam
ship Alabama, from Vera Cruz on the ID
inst. The latest dates from Mexico by this
arrival are to the 10Th of June. Santa Anna,
it is said, has demanded a forced loan of one
million, and is raising the money at the point
of the bayonet.
A letter farther states that the work Of for
tifying the approaches to the Capital is pro-
crossing with great energy, but with very
little judgment. No farther tidings have
been received from General Scott, except that
he has abandoned Jalapa, and it was in pos
session of the GuPrrillas.
Commodore Perry has returned from his
expedition TO Tohasco. lie found the river
impossible, and consequently landed his
troops and marched to the town. He found
the enemy ready to receive him, and having
drawn up his forces, they fired, which the
Commodore returned, when they scattered.
