MI. Foster and proceeded 10 Buffalo. There
he was Joined by Mr.. Wright, aud proceeded
homeward, stopping two days with Mr.. May,
AT Syracuse. He arrived at home on Thurs
day evening, Oct. 2Sth.
Mr.. Garrison bears the marks Of his severe
Illness and II will take some time to recruit
his strength up to the working point. The

The undersigned, the Committee of the
Fourteenth National A.. S. Bazaar, appeal
TO all that is good and true in this nation
for which they labor, to aid their underta-
king.
Our object is the abolition Of slavery thro'
the renovation of public opinion and we ask
help of all who feel the impulse of compas-
sion for a suffering people or the instinct OF
self-preservation in view OF the encroach-
ments Of tyranny, and the dangers of sin or
the divine and awful sense Of justice, moving
them to uphold the right; or the high sense
of honor and religious obligation, impelling
them to choose their lot in this life with the
slaves, and not with their oppressors ; or
shame beneath the scorn Of Chtlstsndom
Justly due to a nation Of Shareholders; or
disgust al the discrepancy between American

Indignant.

The students Of Bethany (Na.) College,
have held an indig nation meeting, and passed
a series Of resolutions relating 10 the impris-
onment in Scotland, on a charge Of libel, Of
Rev. Alexander Campbell, the President Ct
the Institution. They fully approve of his
conduct, and condemn the course of his OPP
ponents. The difficulty originated in the
published views OF Mr.. Campbell on the sub
jecI OF slavery, which some of the people Of
Scotland thought should exclude him from
religious fellow ship.
This Campbell, who went 10 Europe for
the purpose OF convincing the Old World that
slavery is an institution Of heaven, seems 10
have encountered difficulties that he did not
dream Of previous to his departure from our
shores. The reverend gentleman proclaimed
on his arrival there, that it was perfectly con-
sislent with laws human and divine, to hold
Gods image in Servitude: in other words,
that Southern slavery is not inconsistent with
Christianity, that the institution was an = or
dinance Of heaven" and that those who OPP
pose it, war against The Bible. The people
away over the mighty waters are so ignorant
that they would not believe him. Neverlhe-
less, they seem to have taken him at his word.
They have applied his theory to practice, and
have e~nslaved or imprisoned The reverend
STAKEHOLDER himself. How long they will
keep him in DURANGO vile, is yet 10 be deter
mined. Perhaps when they hear the terrible
buster that these students have kicked up,
they will release him, and beg pardon on their
knees for the offence.
