A CHANGE.-The last National Era an
nounces that the Elk. Committee of the A.
merican and Foreign A. S. Society under
whose auspices that paper was published,
have transferred their right and title in it, to
its present editor DR.. Bailey. That com
mittee raised a large sum of money for the
establishment of a Liberty party press at
Washington and for other purposes; the funds
thus collected, and which have not yet been
expended, will now be used FOR the "other
purposes"-whether to the satisfaction of all
the donors is rather questionable.
There was something taking to Liberty
party in the idea of having an organ at Wash
ington; and although the Doctors course dis
pleased many Of the party, yet the paper was
established, and the American and Foreign
Society had the power Of appointing another
editor whenever its members chose so 10 do.
How is it now A considerable portion Of
their money has been spent; the Era is now
DR.. Bailey's organ, no, their's; he is the pro-
prietor, not they.
We have curiosity enough to desire to
peep behind the curtain, and learn the why
and wherefore of this change; did the friends
of DR.. Bailey fear the Era was too low-ton-
ed in its nti-%slavery to suit the party, and
was it apprehended that a successor. to the
present editor might be appointed at the NEE
ting of the Society next spring Some of
the men-if we mistake not-on the Elk.
Committee which sold the paper to DR.. B.
made a somewhat similar move a few years
since-selling the organ Of the American So
ciety in order to prevent that Society getting
possession Of its W paper. But probably
this bargain and sale was done with the know
ledge and advice Of the constituency OF
the Committee, and the contributors to the
press; if so, no one has any right to com,
plain.

Correction.

In one Of the memorials prepared for cir.
ru'ation 10y the Executive Committee, the
following resolution is given as having been
adopted by the General Assembly.
"Rssoiccd. That in the name and on be-
haIt OF the people of Ohio, we DO hereby pro-

made in quoting a resolution which was not

GA correspondent of the Christian nd
rocate and Journa! thus srnsibly discourses
of modern Methodist preaching.
While ministers of other denomination
are adopting the plain old Wesleyan STYLE of
preaching, and have hearers, and do them
good too, we are giving it up, ard adopting
a fashionable, powerless style of preaching,
that is understood by a few only, and will
be lauded by those who have itching ears,
but Of little or no profit TO any one, after all
our pulpit preparations in selecting fine, flow
ing and rhetorical tlourishes. If the preach
err should be informed that one Of his FASH
ionable hearers was offended at his plain and
pointed application Of truth, or pointed re-
proof Of some fashionable and prevailing
vice, he would feel as il his popularity was
ruined and his usefulness DESTROYED. These
things never discourage the old Methodist
preachers. $rhey would only smile and say,
Il hope ! have done my duty, and have done
some good; FOR the devil is offended, and
some of his children displeased.' am a.
fraid we are too fond of that kind Of preach
ing which makes every body happy; as our
beloved brother Fry used to say, I'VE are
all happy, saint and sinner
Not the Methodists only, but most other
denominations have adopted a style of prea-
ching that does not reach the sinner who is
clothed in purple and fine linen-it lacks the
plainness and force OF Nathan's preaching to
David, it does not say to him, Thou art the
han! ~ but leaves him to be happy with the
saints, and in the enjoyment Of a delusive
peace. Retormers are striving to break up
this state Of things, 10 bring the professors OIL
christianity out Of the moral wilderness in
which they have been abiding, to persuade
them to adopt that style of preaching and oil
practising which Truth requires, and which
will make them terrible to the foes Of God
''as an army with banners;" and for doing
this, they are denounced as lnfdels, as dis,
organizers

Wilson Hobbs.

We have just learned from a resident Of
the town of Harveysburg, in this State. of
an exhibition Of that prejudice against color,
so peculiarly American n. tho cruelty OF which
is enough to make the blood Of every right
thinking and right feeling man boil with In
dignation. II appears that there is an accad-
envy in Harveysburg over which presided an
Orthodox Quaker, rejoicing in the name OF
Wilson Hobbs. A young lady Miss Mar
garet Campbell by name, the daughter of res
pectdble and wealthy parents, the sister in
law of W. l.. Keycs resident in the town,
Of the most respectable characters, made her
appearance at the School and entered upon
the regular discharge Of her duties as a pu-
pill. She ia about Is years Of age, well edu-
Gated, Of excellent abilities and Of refined and
tender sensihilities. BY the laws Of Ohio,
she is a free white person, and entitled to all
the privileges Of such, and there is not the
slightest indication in her appearance 10 dis
tinguish her from other young ladies Of her
aye, unless it be a fdirer complexion. By
carefully tracing her gensalogy however, it
is said, through several successive genera
tons. il appears that an ancestor on the ma
irrnal side was the daughter Of a wealthy
STAKEHOLDER and one of his slaves. though BY
G'lIB sun TURNER pack II Is pTuOlDle tllll
she will be found to have beena lineal if not
a legitimate descendant of that general faith
er of the race, from whom Wilson Hobbs de-
rived his ariStocratic blood. After she had
been attending the school two days, a sus-
picion of the impurity Of her descent was
communicated to the smooth faced quaker,
who being moved by the spirit doubtless, and
by the fear that it would iriure the reputa-
ton Of his Academy, took tho opportunity
during school hours and in the presence OF
the whole School, brutalIy 10 insult her by
ordering her TO leave the institution and not
10 return. The cruelty Of the degrading in
suit covered the unhappy girl with shame and
confusion, who left the presence Of the I'M
manly wretch in the midst Of her own tears
and those Of sympathising teachers and fell
low pupils. We understand that the occur
renee has created a good deal OF Indignation
in the neighborhood,. which will probably
take some decided means to show how little
it participates in such mean assaults and what
1t thinks Of their perpetrators. We wish
friend Wilson Hobbs no greater unhappiness
than fully to see and to understand, what a
desPicable thing he has been guilty Of.
