Benevolent Efforts,

Every year shows an increasing amount contributed
to remove the ignorance and wretchedness which af-
fct the human family, and especially to spread the
Gospel with its ciyizIng, enghtenng, and elevating
influences, throughout the world.
The contributions of the Free Church of Scotland,
for religious and benevolent objects, Notwithstanding
the peculiarly trying circumstances OF large portion
Of their people, amounted during the year ending
March 81, lS47, to upwards of $I,590,000,
The Protestant Episcopal churches in the United
States have contributed the past year for domestic
missions $22,602 and for foreign missions $3O,425.-
OF this amount there was contributed in New York
state $l5,258; in South Carolina $780, and in Mas
sachusetts $5,208.
The contributions to the American board. as report
ed in the Missionary Herald, from the LIST of last Aug.
to June 30th amounted to $l87, $50.
The contributions to the Baptist board, from April
LIST to June Both, three months,) were $2l,I70.
Amos A. Lawrence, Esq, Of Boston, pledged some

ded to it, in lands oherwse for the purpose of found
ing Institution of learning in Wisconsin, to be un-

From Wisconsin papers which we have SEEM says

The First Anti"Slayery Meeting in the
United States,

The Attorney General of the State of Louisiana has
pronounced the Declaration of independence hum
bug :" and Caleb Gushing late of Massachusetts,, has
made the discovery announced in his Fourth of July
oraton in Gen. Aristas garden" that the Revolution
ary War was not a war for Liberty. That such were
not the views of the men of the Revolution, seems suf
fcieny manifest One of the evidences of their idea
of the nature and bearing of the great Declaration is
to be found in the proceedings of meeting held in
MiddleseX county, New Jersey, the 9TH of seventh
month"; 1888, the first anniversary of the signing of
that instrument, after the close of the war.
The meeting took place in the township of Wood
bridge. Great preparations had been made an OK
was roasted, and large numbers assembled to partake
of it, and to listen to the orator of the day. Doctor
Bloomfield father of the late Governor Bloomfield, of
New jersey At the appointed time the orator mount
ed the platform, followed by his slaves fourteen in
NUMBER seven of whom took places on his left, and
seven on his right, while he addressed the multitude
on the evils of Slavery. At the close Of his speech,
he turned to his slaves stating that inasmuch We
as nation had declared all equal, he could not
consistently hold slaves. "Why," asked he, should
these my fellow-chzens, be held in bondage? From
this day they are free "
In the midst of the applause which followed, the
Doctor called up to him one somewhat advanced in
years. Hector" said he when you cannot support
YOURSELF you are entitled to maintenance from my
property. When do you suppose you will need that
The delighted negro held up his left hand, and,
with his right, drew line across the middle Joint Of
his fingers Neber massa, neber, so long as any of
desc fingers are left above these jints!"
"There, felow-citizens," said the Doctor, you see
that Liberty as dear to the of color as to you
or me-"
The air rung with applause, and the company sepa
rated, without suggestion from any that it would
be an act of patriotism to Lynch the good Doctor for
his fanatciam. How he would have Jared, however,
with some Caleb Gushing of that day, if such char
acer is supposable, had he undertaken to show the
people Oh that occasion that the through which
they had Just passed was not struggle for Liberty,
and that the Declaration Of Independence was merely
a flourish of rhetoric is very questionable His stua-
ton we fear would have been little better than that

The extent Of the United States.
National Era.

The present Confederacy of the United States of
North America containing larger of cultivated
land and hosptable climate than any country that has
previously existed Ancient and modern Empires sink
into nsgnifcance when compared with it. The Uni
ted States of America contain 100000 square miles
over half million more than Europe if we except
Russia. Their greatest length is 5000 miles; their
greatest breadth 100 miles.
They have frontier line of 10000 miles a coast
of 1900 niles
The rivers in the United States are the largest in
the world. The Missouri is 360C miles in length or
more than twice the length Of the Danube The Ohio
is 600 miles longer than the Rhine. The Hudson, en-
trey within a single State is nayigabe 100 miles
bove its mouth farther than the Thames.
The State of Virginia has area of 10000 square
miles, and is about third larger than England. The
State of Ohio, 10000 square miles, or one-ourth more
than the whole of Scotland.
The harbor of the city of New York, is the Allan.
tic outlet of river, canal, and lake navigation of
bout 1000 miles, or the distance from Europe to Amer
lea.
From Augusta, in the State of Maine, to New Or
leans in the State of Louisiana, the distance is 1900
miles, or 200 more than from London to Constantine
pie 10 go from London to COnstantnople, you
the entire continent of Europe, and through most of
its principal Kingdoms.
The great proportion of the whole extent Of the ter
rory Of the United States, is uncutvated. The pop
uatlon of the country, rapidly as it increases would
not occupy all the public domain in cycle of 500
years. and yet in spite of this startling fact there
among us men claiming to be statesmen, who wish to
anticipate the future and occupy by conquest, at the
expense of blood and treasure, that territory which is
as certain to fall into our possession by the natural
course of events that the suns rising marks the be-
ginning of day, So vast, indeed is the territory of
the United States already that it takes no ordinary
mind to comprehend its extent, and few indeed cacu-
late its resources and the most comprehensive intel

Now instead of being drilled into mere machines
for murder, suppose these 2 100000 able bodied
men had been employed in some productive lab
or, even at the low rate of one shilling day per
head Allowing 300 working days to the year,
then they would have earned sf37 500, 600 year

600 as the dead loss in labor to the laborlng
classes of Christendom by the withdrawal from
their productive ranks, of two millions and
half of hardy, healthy men, in the bloom of life,
since 1879
This is not all of the burden of war prepara-

The Curse Of the Mexican Neither
BY F. o. HODGE

BY F. o. HODGE
Hank bark from the regions of war,
Comes a loail on the wings Of the wind,
1t seemeth to come from affair."
And curse follows closely behind
The cry it was piercing, and wild,
Sent forth by Mother in pain,
A Mother who mourned for her child,
BY the ruthless invader just slain.
All ghastly, and pallad, and dead,
The innocent lay on the ground,
Her light tresses dripping with red
! hat flowed from horrible wound.
The Mother arose in her pride,
The invader she cursed, in despair,
She all his dark minions defed,
With loud curses she loaded the air.
"Go on and murder every babe that you shall
chance to meet
The infant at its mothers breast-the child who
walks the street;
Go on and all that's fair defe with your polu
ted touch,
You meier shall prosper -vagabond "A Moth
er styles you such;
Go now and know that you're despised by all that
Walk lne edillI
Hated, rejected, and disowned, by her who gave
thee birth;
Homeless and houseess wander on; wander by
God occursed;
All evil fearing, feeling all; prepared not for the
worst
Thy wife, thy daughters, from thee torn, disgrace
ed, and then despised,
Thy schemes Of wanton vlIany by them be real
ized
Thy sons become the buzzards prey, ere Man
hood stamps their brow,
Denied the right of sepulchre as thou deniest now
All this shall be. Go on but know that thou art
doomed
To die alone, unfriended, thy bones be unentombed
Foul demons visit the dark glen wherein thy bones
may lay
Accused Of God, and Stunned by man, denied the
light of day,
And when thy guilty soul on earth shall be for
bid to dwell,
Descend through the dark portals of the brazen
gates of Hell,
From thence, let demons be thy guard, each shout
ing, It is WELL"
Down to the regions lower than which no mortal
ever fell,
Then breathe such curses loud and deep, as none
on earth may hear,
There vent thy lying ittleness, against the Great
and True,
And be tormented day and night, with pains for
ever new
Be rccompensed for all the deeds thy evil hand
hath done,
And when my curse shalIbe fulfilled; Go on! Go
on Go on !"

Good ADVICE,

If an abotionist ask you to vote with him. ask him
what his party proposes to d. and also mark his an
swer. If he makes long talk about the evils of
slavery, ask him how he proposes to remedy those
evils by political action.-y1ge.
This advice Is highly proper, and we hope it will be
generally followed Well read abolitioniss will know
how to answer it. The evil itself is the product of
"politcal action" and Liberty party intend to undo
by political action against slavery what wings and de-
mocras political action have done and are doing for
it. We propose by political action to stop proslavery
wars-to cleanse the national statute book of slavery
to withdraw the army and navy from its scrvice-to
create cabinet which would give to slavery no more
countenanca than it would give to monarchy-to elect
government that would instantly dismiss any man
from office under it who should officially utter word
or move hand in its Gyor-a government that will
not Peryet and tampe on the constitution for slave
holders patronage as both the old parties do, There
is work enough for "politica action" against slavery,
and we hope the proposed inquiries above will every
where be made of aboloniSts.-EsS Transcript.

of despair among the widows and the orphans 1t
has created, among the ravines of the Cordiler-
as. Our news-boys shout Another glorious vic
tory in MexicoP But my mind instantly reverts
to the horrible carnage ofthe field of blood, and
to the thousands of homes which that sanguina-
ry victory has filled with lamentations. Our pub
lie journals speak of the brilliant exploits OF
Monterey and Vera Cruz. They were brilliant
in crimson gore in connagrated dwellings, in
meteoric bomb-shells, with portentous glare
making night hdeous, and exploding with pow
er more terrific than the tabled thunderbots of

over the slaughter of my leowmen. From the
dreadful scene my soul turns with infinite loath-
ing and abhorance.
Gen Taylor, in his admirable letter of condo
lence to Henry Clay upon the death of his son,
in one Of these sanguinary tragedies, remarks III
view of the young mans untlmcly end, I can
with truth say that feel no eXutatlon III our
success To this sentiment thousands and tens
of thousands of the purcst spirits in our land can
most cordially respond, The war has already
cost our country not less than about one hundred
millions of dollars. What a sum to eXpend IN all
the terrible enginery of destruction, to desolate
the homes and destroy the lives of our ielowmen.
Probably not less than twenty thousand have al
ready perished on the two Sides from the com
bncd influence of the sword and disease. If our
object is to collect debt, surely this is an in
human way Of doing it. If our object is to eX-
tend the area of negro slavery, we can only say,
that means are worthy the end.
