From The LiberGfOr.
Spirit Of Liberty Party.

The article we have copied on our first
page, from The Western Citizen, exhibits the
spirit which generally pervades the Liberty
party towards those who stand on the old an
slavery platform, and adhere 10 the American
~Anti-Slayery Society.
1t processes to show the cause Of the divi-
sions in the anti-slavery ranks, and to give
all accurate description of the views-of the
two classes of abolitionists but, whether
from ignorance or design, it deals in c%arica-
iure and misrepresentation, and is therefore
calculated to ~enlighten no one, but may de-
ceive many.
In the first place, the attempt TO classify
the old organized abolitionists as non-resist-
ants is highly disingenuoue. What would
be thought Of our fairness, if, because James
G. Birney is a Presbyterian, we should de-
signate the Liberty party as a Presbyterian
party With the question of non-resistance
abolitionists as such, have no more TO do than
they have with Presbyterianism. We aver,
for the hundredth time, that the American
Antl-SlaveIy Society has never entertained
that question, nor taken any action upon il.
any more than the American Bible or TracI
Society nor has any of It's auxiliaries; mol
has. the organ of that Society, the Standard

The Thirteenth Annual Meeting IF The q.
Init. Slavery Society will be held Ii
the Tabernacle, Br0adtcay. ~. r., the llth
day Of May. The increasing interest in the
Anti-Siavery cause promises en- unusually
large and important meeting. The bold en-
ctoachmenls OF the slave power upon the
rights of the North, and the active measures
OF the Shareholders TO extend and perpetuaie
the curse Of human bondage, are awakening
the people to a sense Of their position both as
oppressors and oppressed. All the activity
and zeal Of the friends of the slave are needed
to arouse the country to the conviction that
the only safety Of the whole PEop1e Is in
adopting the principle Of the American Anti
Slavery Socioty, of
NO UNIOV WITH SHAREHOLDERS!
The place of the business meetings will be
announced hereafter.

Dear Brother Lee -
A few years since, one of my neiahbHs,
while descending the Mississippi river in a
h~at-boat, on landing at a plantation, witness
ed a most revolving scene of cruelty, which
he related in substance as follows:
a female slave was at work in a field,
where she was compelled to keep her infant
child, that was sick and hungry. The poor
mother was panied at seeing her little babe
sick and starving, and obeying the holy die
tales of a mothers feelings, she dug two po-
tatoes from her masters potato ground, and
roasted them in a fire near where she labor
cd. and gave them to-her furnishing infant.
For this offence she was stripped entirely
naked, and bound with a cord, and beaten al
most to death The narrator approached the
scene of cruelty, and begged the monster,
with tears, 10 desist, but he was answered
only with bitter curses. lie continued to
beat her in a most cruel manner, cutting her
back, limbs, and breasts, with his lashes,
until her milk from her breasts mingled with
her blood and ran down to TIE ground, filling
little holes near where she stood. In the
midst Of this heart-rending scene, our friend
became so excited that he ran furiously on
the miserable murderer, and attempted TO
stop him by force. His men now interfered.
and bore him off to his boat, or his i%nterfer-
ing would have probably cost him his life.
Such hell-descrvmg cruelty occurs every
day in the slave States. Thousands are
dashed and beaten on their backs and limbs
until they carry huge scars from childhood to
their grave. Yet flowing blood and scalding
tears, piteous groans and imploring looks,
move not the sieeled hearts of their cruel OPP
p~ressors.
The system that admits such cruelty i;
tolerated in many Of the Christian Churches
$50 called.) Ministers s%anctify it from The
pulpit, and endeavor to support it from thu
Bible-while thousands Of professors uphold
it at the balIot-boX, and thus continue its ex
~istence by all these and various other means
Now, my dear brethren, on with the ar
NOR of righteousness, and rush boldly int,
the battle. We are small beside Amalek
but "if God be for US, who can be agains
us -" Truth is mighty, and shall prevail
'fis really curious to witness the writings
and contortions of pro-slavery men and slave
| holders in the NJ. f. Church in this part o
Ohio. Although it may surprise many of The
friends of humanity, ii is a fact that slave
holders live in this free State, and enjoy thc
privileges of the NJ. E. Church unmolested

cant do il to save him. Besides all the
embarrissin circumstances that has trans

the gals all knows he's anxious. and then
he very ones thath been settin their caps
for him all their lives, runs from him like
