DECISION.

A slave belonging TO Louis Alme Pignev-
guy, was yesterday declared to be free in
consequence of having been taken to France.
". o. Picayune gMe ION.
This is in accordance with decisions which
have frequently been made here, and with
which the South has never been salisied.-
If a slave be brought TO his master, %vUlunta-
ry, in this State, his shackles fall off at once.
Slavery cannot exist here for a moment.-
And it is so with livery free State, and with
every country where slavery is not ~recogniz-
ed. The decision in New Orleans goes fur
Their, however, than our decisions have gone
or can go. 1t establishes the important fact,
that the freedom which a slave thus acquires,
by the voluntary act of his master, shall avail
him permanently and, that if he, of his own
choice, shall afterwards return to n slave
State, he shall not again be subject to bond
age.-BoStOn Transcript.
The same court decided, a few days pre-
vious, as it appears in some of the New Or
leans papers, that the steamboat Missouri
was not liable for carrying Off a slave. In
this case a singular fact was disclosed, viz
a slave being so white that he could pass any
where for a white man, and who was sup
posed to be such when he was taken into the
employ of the steamer and carried out Of the
State. The slave had been permitted to hire
himself on boats trading 10 places where sla-
very does not exist, and TO remain there I'M
I'll he chose TO leave, and the court expressed
great doubts whether his master could exer-
else any acts of ownership over him after
wards.-N. 7. Journal Of Commerce.

Joshua r. GiddingS.

We have been informed, has accepted the
challenge TO discuss The Constitutional ques-
ton with S. S. Foster-or rather, such parts
of it as they differ upon--and has written
him to that effect. We suppose the report is
true, though we doubt whether the latter has
yet heard of the acceptance of his challenge.

OF Listen to the "0hio Observer an
eminent organ of Presbyterian Evangelism.
"ITcHING EARs."-What we are now 90
ing to say is none the less true because the
mass of the people will not listen TO it. 1t is
this
The noisy and foul-mouthed slanderers and
disorgdnizers of the present day are sustain
ed by the idle curiosity of those, who having
etching ears" flock TO hear them, while
they would be ashamed to be suspected of
even adopting their principles. If the good
and orderly would stay at Tome and attend
to their duty, the persons of whom we speak
would be eflectually FUSED up"
IT'S a source of great regret that when the
"Observer" speaks what it believes to be the
truth, there are so few to listen. What a pi-
ty that ''the good and orderly" will not
'stay at home and attend to their Duty
Times must be sadly out of joint in the
churches Of Northern Ohio when even such
are so afflicted with 'Itching Ears that they
cannot be brought to obey the solemn COM
mands of their priestly leaders, but so far re-
bel against their authority as to be willing to
hear for themselves, judi e for themselves,
and act for themselves. Alas! for the inf
del churches of America when 'the good and
orderly" of their own members become so
disordery as to do this. Well may the SOB
server mourn. Take up the song of lamen-
tation ye corrupt organizations-your craft is
in danger, your power is departing, for truth
is advancing.

GREAT CONVENTION

"Blessed are the peace makers, for theirs
is the kingdom Of Heaven
Believing that a mere profession of Chris
without a practical illustration of the
divine principle taught by Jesus, in our ac-
tons, will make us only more obnoxious in
the sight of God, and 90 to condemn rather
than save us; and to promote the cause of
''peace on Earth and good will to man" it
is proposed to hold a Convention at Ran
doiph, Portage Co., o., on Thursday and
Friday, the 18th and 18th of October, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock, A.. NJ, for the adj
vancement of this exalted principle.
The present is no time for the opponents
of war, murder and physical punishment TO
be lethargic, whilst the war cry is heard on al
| most every breeze, whilst this Government is
making repeated demands foi more men for
the Mexican butchery, whilst thousands are
ready, eagerly and anXiously waiting an op.
portunity TO commit deeds of darkness and
foul daring. that they may glut themselves
on the blood of their innocent and lnoilenslve
neighbors; whilst the most diabolical crimes
NAV be committed under the sanction and
with the entire appreciation of this Govern
ment, if they are sanctified with the lmpo-
sing title of War. Whilst all these and more,
are being continually committed, 1t lily be-
comes the friends Of peace to be slnmbeTlng
on. Shall it be said that we are less active
in the work Of reform, than they in evil de-
ing, if not, then each of us must feel that we
have a work to do, and be attending to 1t.
Let us come at this call in numbers, and
with a spirit that will make the wicked trem'
BILE that they may know that we are deter
mined, and having truth on our side we mus
and will succeed, cone what may.
Our friends s.. S. Foster, J. w. Walker
and several others will be present and ado

ANOTHER SIGN OF PRoMIsE.-A prospec-
tus has been issued proposing TO publish an
anti-slavery paper at Moundsville, Marshall
Co. Va. at will be devoted" says the
prospectus, ''to morality, religion, political
and general intelligence, and legal emancipa-
ton. 1t will be edited by Arson Berkshire,
in connection with one or more correspond
ing editors, whose ability is known. His
main purpose will be, by every peaceful,
constitutional and christian method, to res
tore the prosperity of Virginia, by advocating
the claims of Liberty, as the only real Jasi,
on which TO build that prosperity"
This is certainly encouraging. There is
doubtless a vast deal of anti-slavery senti'
ment in the South which will make itself
known by expression and action just so fasI
as it can find "A Northern public sentiment tc
encourage and sustain it. "The Crisis
for such is the name of the paper-is vel
named, and we hope it will be equal to the
exigencies Of the times.

DIR. DEWEY'S MEMORY.

The Liberaior relates the following anec-
dote of DR.. Dewey, a celebrated Unitarian,
who is just now asserting his abolitionism
and proving it, by denouncing AboIitionists.
"A lady of great excellence and distinc-
ton once told us that she went 10 hear this
eminent Anti-Slavery saint preach, one
Thanksgiving Day in New York. He nan
died the usual topics of National Eulogy
with much zeal and eloquence, and among
other things, he dwelt on the blessings of
civil liberty which were universally enjoyed
And he called upon his hearers to thank God
that there was not a man throughout this
broad land that had not the free enjoyment Of
all his rights. His nearer waited for the
grateful preacher at the door of the Church,
and when he complacently approached, she
exclaimed.
How could you Mr.. Dewey (for he was
not Doctor them how could you say that
there is not a man in this country deprived
of his rights, when you know that there are
three million of SHARES in it 2"
"Bless me! exclaimed this anti-slavery
minister, with a start Of sudden recollection,
bless me! Ihad entirely forgotten them'

A HARD CAsE.-The PiISJurg Morning
Post states that a colored man, named John
IL. Winston, who left his home in that city
some time last Spring, and went as a fireman
on a steamboat, is now in the Jail of Hender-
son county, Kentucky, committed because of
the absence of a certificate of freedom. He
will soon be sold unless the Jail fees be paid.
His mother, brothers and sisters reside in
Pittsburg, but they are quite poor. This is
indeed a hard case, and one which should
excite the indignation of every friend of hui
manity and liberty. This man, a citizen OF
Pennsylvania, guilty Of no crime, goes to
Kentucky in the regular prosecution Of his
business, and though, BY the Constitution oil
the United States, he is entitled to all the
privileges of citizenship, he is seized and i'm.
p%risoned because he has not in his pocket q
certificate from some magistrate that he i:
free. How long will the Free States tamely
submit to outrages like this i--Tribune,

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES.

The following is stated to be the condition
of the Congregational Churches in Massa-
chusetts for the last year, as drawn from the
minutes of the General Association for 1917:
Churches 437; pastors 355; stated sup
plies 43; vacant churches GO; ministers
without charge "a; church members 60, 1885;
admissions by professions ISL deaths 872;
accommodations l67."
50 it appears Mat the deaths and mi
n~icatiOnS erceed the admissions, JetUeen 200
and 800.
On every side comes mp the voice of
mourning from the s~ectarian bodies, for the
darkness which covers them, and the barren
ness with which they are blighted. Blind
and foolish men! Know they not that ia for
saking man they have forsaken God : that in
shutting their eyes to their brothers. want
they have shut out the whole broad Heaven
and its fulness of light! that in deafening
their eyes to the jangle of wrong and the cry
Of the perishing, they have lost the soft har-
monies of Heaven, and the pure in1owing of
peace which they would give the soul ! Till
their religion becomes animated with human
iiy into a life of Love, we rejoice in the
marks of their decrease. The sooner they
perish the better for the slave, upon whose
breasts they rest a crushing burden. For the
good of Humanity and Christianity which
are one, we rejoice in the downfall of those
h~eartless and hollow sects, whose sanctions
have guarded popular and stTong-handed
crime, that on their ruins the beautiful temple
of a pure Faith, whose vitality is Love, may
arise.-Pa. Freeman.
