Surely it is as great a truism now as ever,

human being of this right.
Yet we are called upon to unite with a

HENRY C. WRIGHT.

New CLArM.-The PreSbytery of Ely
ria, at its recent meeting, adopted a series of
resolutions on the Sabbath question, among:
which is the following
Resolved, That the holding Of political or
other meetings than those which are strictly
religious, either on the Sabbath. or Saturday
evening, is an encroachment upon the sacred
ness of the day-detrimental TO the cause Of
morality and piety, and therefore should be
avoided.
If the members of this FfesB5tery choose
to abstain from holding reform meetings on
the Sabbath, they have a perfect right so to
do, nor should we have quarreled with them
for expressing such a determination. But
when they declare that because God conn
mands that the Sabbath should be kept in a
certain way, therefore does the P~resb9tsry Of
Elyria command that Saturday evening be
also similarly observed, and denouuce those
who, as a preparation for the Sabbath, choose
that time to preach to the people the weight
Ter matters of the Acknowledgements. mercy and
truth, as embodied in the Temperance, Peace
and Anti-Slavery reforms-is is a piece Of
sheer assumption, for which they havestheL
authority Of neither Law nor Gospel. "a
1t is generally presumed God knew what
he was about when he commanded that one
day in seven should be set apart for his ser
vice, as the church affirms that he did, but
the members of the Presbytery Of Elyria
think otherwise, and deem tina, an amend
ment 10 the law Of Jehovah is necessary, and
esteem themselves the proper ones to make
it. The people should resist such agrees
sions, and not allow the rulers in the church
to monopolize, for the preaching of s~ectarian
dogmas, more than one day in every seven.
Grant their claim 10 Saturday evening, and
next year they can bring just as cogent rea-
sons against holding reform meetings-for il
was more the " other meetings" than the po-
litical ones they feared-on Friday evenings,
and so on to the end of the chapter. II they
had said that such meetings were detri-
mental to the cause Of morality and pie,y,'
no matter on what day Of the week they
were held, there might have been at leas, a.
show of reason for their opposition to them,
but to say they arc thus demoralizing because
held on Saturday instead Of Friday, is alb
) surd.

BILE majority. The result. of course, mskes
the Cass men look rather blue, while the
TayioIites are in a state of uprorious glorih-
cation. Whether the Quaker State will in,
November wheel into the ranks with Taylor's
bloOdhounds. or unite with the Cass services,
is not at all certain; nor does IL matter much
to humanity whether they sustain. slavery
through the one candidate or the other.

that Slavery will be abolished in this way.
1t must be done through revolution. be-
lieve that h~istory-bo,h profane and eccle-
siastical-will bear me out in the assertion,
that when once an evil has been embodied
into an organization, as one Of its cardinal
principles, that this evil has never been
eradicated, by remaining in connection with
that organization, or by joining It for that
purpose. The reason is obvious. 1t is be-
cause in supporting that organization We
necessarily support the evil connected with
it,. Now this government is organized. II
is based upon d written constitutions; and in
this constitution slavery is recognized. in
supporting il, then, we necessarily sanction
slavery. Therefore it is utterly impossible,
by SO doing, TO ad vanc the cause Of Liberty.
But some will say history will not support
ME in this position. They will point to the
abolition Of slavery in the Ottoman Empire,
Barbary States, aud the British West Indies.
But Turkey and the Barbary States are not
strictly organizations. They are absolute
monarchies-what is law there to-day may
not be to.morrow-the wills Of their Sove-
reigns constitute their laws; and it was they
that abolished slavery. Neither was slave
ry an incorporated principle OF The British
governmental existed in her colonies only
temporarily. But, on the contrary, history
is replete with reformations, brought about
on the principle of Disunion. These all are
familiar with,

author would say, Five days have been

The UNION for October is very fine. Its
establishment o "The Bitter Morning" is
true to life, and the tale which illustrates il,
is capitally told-it bears hard upon mere
theoretical philanthrophists. "The Hotel
De Vile the Town Hall of Paris-is
handsomely engraved, and is especially APP
p~ropriate to the times. Mrs. Kirkland's "Sight
seeing in Europe" continues to be interest
ing and instructive. Frances S. Osgood con-
tributes a poem" God loves him still -
which is worth The price of the volume, and
its presence in a popular magazine indicates
that a better feeling is beginning to pervade
society, a feeling which recognizes the broth
erhood of all, and the claim of all to kindness
and consideration, and which prompts the
bestowal OF labor for the reclamation Of the
erring.
