ToLERATIoN IN ScoTIANp-rHE FRrr
kIRK.-ln common with several Of our cotem-
poraries, we cannot help noticing, with marked
condemnation, the system Of oppression where
with certain members Of the aristocracy Of Scot
land are pursuing the ministers and adherents
Of the Free Kirk. The refusal of proprietors to
sell sites whereon to erect places Of worship, has
compelled many congregations to assemble for
divine service without any protection from tho
inclemency of the weather, and this during win
ter rs well as summer, for nearly five years.
The consequence has been, that many have fall
en- a sacrifice to their principles, and literally
died in their behalf The Duke Of Buccleuch
has won for himself a most uncnyiable notoricty
in connexion with congregation Of his own ten
antry, adhering to the Free Kirk, in the parish
of Canobe, upon the borders Of England. Pro-
hibited from meeting under cover, the congrega-
ton originally assembled for worship upon q
bare moor, but it belonged to the duke and he
interdicted the worshippers from meeting there.
They afterwards assembled on the highway,
and there worshipped amid the storms of whole
winter. Subsequently they were permitted to
erect canvas tent in the corner OF field and
there they have worshipped for two winters, az
detailed before a committee of the House of
Commons, with the rain often penetrating
through the frail shelter, the sheets covered wth
boar frost when the people came to worship,
and the ground beneath their feet "a puddle Of
mud" All this has done its work the healthy
young minister, Of two years ago. has fallen .
victim to disease, contracted, manifestly, under
these influences.
This is the fourth minister of the Free Church
whose death, within the last three years. Is trace
able to the same cause; and whenit is taken in
to consideration that the population sdhsring to
the Free Kirk, far from deserving such harsh
ness, may be considered as the quetest and most
orderly class of the Scotch people, we do trust,
that, Il the force of public opinion cannot infu-
ence the men who pursue such system of OPP
preston, tho Legislature of the country will in
terpose to protect her Majesty's subjects in the
enjoyment Of ordinary religious liberation.

TnE NATIONAL SrRoxo-Box.--When tho
petitioners from Liverpool and elsewhere, for a

to obtain an interview with Lord John Russell,
the other week, at the treasury, he told them Il

financial results that will inevitably flow from

not permit a full republication of his speech, but
quite enough is given for reference. If Agri-

TEXAS A FREE STATE.--A correspondent Of
the Christian Waterman, writing from Washing
ton, thus speaks of the prospect of Texas becom-
ing free State. We do fervently hope that his
speculations have some foundation in fact:
II have good reason to believe that Texas is
to become free State at no distant dayi This
comes to me from gentleman of Texas, in whose
means of knowing, and ability to form correct
opinions, have great confidence. He says the
Germans now coming by ship-loads, and settling
under the supervision Of the agents of their mo-
bes and princes, are to man opposed to slave
~, and this has already been manifested in their
local elections-so strongly manifested, indeed,
that Gen. Houston was compelled by the force
of popular opinion to divest himself Of his slaves
in order to secure recollection to the U. s. Sem
ate. If | am not m:siniormed on this point, how
completely all the acts Of Southern politicians
will be ovcrthrownl II was the fear that Great
Britain was about to abolish slavery in Texas,
that induced Mr. Upshur, then Secretary Of
State, in iS43, to take tho initiative of annexa-
ton. And now tho honest Germans are becom-
ing predominant and the abolition of slavery
must follow; for every German emigrant counts
one at the ballot-box, and at that place, equals
the planter, owner Of a thousand negroes. II 10
only in the House Of Representatives Of the uni-
ted States, that Ave slaves count as much as three
free citizens Of New England"
