PARKER PILLSBURY
German Reformed Church.

My object in this CON munication is to
show 10 The public that the German Reform
cd Church so far from being as anti-slavery
as it processes to be, is pro-slavery to the
core.
Probably you are aware that the Columbi-
ana class Of Ministers Of the German Re-
formed Senate, met in Washingtonville, May
23d, 1877. ! was present on the last day of
their session when the following preamble
and resolution lin substance) was read before
the house.
Whereas, inasmuch as a desire for the alb
clifton Of American Slavery is strengthening
its hold on the hearts Of American citizens,
Therefore, Resoired, Thatthis Glass would
bid God speed to the removal of one of the
blacklist crimes in our nations history and
character.
WIN pain assure you, that this resolution
could not get a second among all the Divines
and delegates which composed that Glass
The President, on hearing The resolution read,
furiously TO his feet and declared that
he hoped it would not receive a second, COR
he was determined not to vote for its pas
sage, and did not like 10 vote against it. 1t
accordingly thrown under the table.
Is this obeying the injunction of %inspira-
ion TO remember those in bonds as bound
With them 7" 1t is more like the one spoken
If in Scripture, who said to the hungry, "be
fed" but did not give even the crumbs
hat fell from his table. Those who keep all
he commandments and yet lack in one, are
guilty in the sight OF God for the violation Of +,
the whole. When will such false, decisive
christianity be cast down to the bottomless
pit, where it originated ? Oh, that our coun-
try may be speedily revolutionized by pure
christianity, and the foul stain be wiped from
her glory, so that the sun may no more rise
set on her corruptions.

Caution.

A man, calling himself Charles Camlin,
with a woman whom he calls his wife, is
going about the country, collecting contribu-
lions in money and goods from the benevo-
lent, on the p%retence OF being a fugitive slave.
lie exhibits marks of the lash, tells an inter-
esllng story, and deceives many. He has
learned pretty well the story of James MI
hams, and uses 1t deXterously, as a means Of
deception. lie Is a grand ilnposter, perhnps
a SPY. To one he tells that he has just es-
capped from NeW OrednS-to others, who saw
MN more than a year since, he said he
had just run away from Car0kna,-his story
Is that he has just returned from Canada,
where the climate was too cold for him.
The very evident fact that he is well acQuaint-
ed with the Southland his great efforts 10
see colored people and ascertain whether they
are iugiilves, is strong grounds for sus-
pectlng him to be more than a mere vagrant
imposter.
He is very light complexioned, with near
ly straight hair in large bushy, shaggy locks:
he is quite lame in one leg, which bends in
Ward very much at the knee when he walks.
Let all be on their guard.
E. RUSSELL.
The above notice is from the Pa, Free
man of January nth. Charles Camlin is now
In this Place-says he has just escaped from
the far South, having left there a little after
Christmas. In an interview which some of
HE friends here had with him, although he
at first denied that he was the man referred
10 In the foregoing caution, he afterwards ad-
mllted more than enough to establish his
identity with the individual therein describ-
ed A person was also present who had
met him at the house of Edwin Coates, in
Chester county, Pa, and who recognized
him when he saw him here. This man
may have been a slave; and although he has
doubtless told different stories of himself.
and thus imposed upon the public, his char
acter will now be so we'll understood in this
place, that the people will be on their guard
against him. II he should SO conduct him
self as not 10 give further cause for suspicion,
his want of veraci'y may be overlooked in
consideration of his defective education, and :
he may be able 10 establish for himself a bet
ter character than is now assigned him.

OuTRAcEous.-James Crawford, who was
captured by the police Of New York on tho
charge of stealing two jackets, was sentenced
10 enlist in tie ARM.
This was clearly a violation of the 9Th ar
ticle of The amendments to the U. S. Consti-
tuition, which declares that ''cruel and unusu.
al punishments shall not be inflicted" None
will deny that the i~nfliction Of such a punish
ment as that contemplated by the above sem
tence is unusual, and it is as unquestionably
cruel. 1t is hardly, if any better than cold
blooded murder, when we remember the
risks 10 which this volunteer! will be expo
sed from the Mexicans and from the vomito.
and consider the work which it is designed
he shall do. Is it not cruel too, TO expose q
man to all the vice and immortality of the A.
merican camp Ito bring him under the de-
moralizing influence of American cutthroats
Ito strengthen not only his propensity to
steal, but teach him to murder-and to place
him beyond the prospect of reclamation!
If, however, the authorities of New York
think that stealing two jackets is tolerabls
evidence of his fitness for the army, had they
not better retain him until he has so far pro.
crossed as tn steal a horse and to kill a man,
when he would certainly be an invaluable re.

ReroHing Wurder.-The Holly Springs
CTenn.) Gazette of the 29ih ult. says: "A
worthy young man, by the name of Carpen-
ter was murdered on Saturday last, in tho
most shocking manner, by a slave whom he
was attempting to chasiise. Carpenter was
literally chopped 10 pieces by the demon
receiving many heavy blows from the edge
OF an axe on the shoulders, back and other
parts OF his person, any one of which would
have produced death. The murderer was
Immediately apprehended."
This is bat one of the fruits of the accur.
see tree of slavery. When man is robbed Of
his liberty, the oppressor must BEWARE ! for
he who sows the wind will sooner or later
reap the whirlwind. Such incidents as the
above ever have, and ever will grow out Of
the system, and it is as senseless to complain
of this, as il would be to censure the fire for
burning the hand that is placed in its flames.

On looking over the tables in the papers Of
New York, St. Louis and New Orleans

eastern cities range at 1 to per cent, dis

a few years since, tha! bill at sight on New
York, could not be had in Cincinnati for less
than "a and 3 per cent premium, and in the

SPECULATION IN wHISKERs;
Or, Shaping in a Brokers' office.
BY SOL. SMITH.

There lived in Milledgeville, in 1882, q
dignifed individual whom we will call jerks

opinion of his personal appearance. Hi:
fingers were hooped with rings, and his shir
bosom was decked with magnificent breas
pin coat, hat, vest and boots were made ex
actly to fit; he wore kid gloves Of remarka
BILE whteness; his hair was oil and dressed
in the latest and best style; and, to complete
his killing appearance, he sported an enor.

whiskers, jerks was as proud as young cal

Twas sitting one day in brokers' Office
when jerks came to enquire the price of ex
change on New York. He was invited tc
sit down, and a cigar was offered him.
Conversation turned on the subject of buy.
ing and selling stock in such and such bank
at that time, as it must get better in few
days.

any thing on it, remarked jerks.
'Oh, no. replied one. not any thing, you
wouldn't sell your Whiskers!n
A loud laug followed this chance remark.

who would want them? Any person making
the purchase would lose money by the ope-

take the speculation, if the price could be
