A~NTl-SLAvERY SOCIETY will be held at Sa-
lem, Columbiana Co., on Wednesday, Thurs
day, and Friday, the 10Th, l7th, and 18th Of

Let a full representation of the slaves

PARTS of the Great West. The political lead
ers are marshalIing their hosts for a conflict,
their followers are ralIying by hundreds of
thousands TO the support of their party ban
ners. Time, and money, and labor are ex-
pended to secure their object. And shall the
friends of Freedom, whose faith should be
strong in the power of Truth, be lukewarm
and Indifferent while politicians are so ear
nest in their labors, so u%ntiring in their zeal!
The events of the past year should encourage
MS to renewed effort, for every movement OF
importance which has been made, having any
bearing upon the question of slavery, fore
shadows the destruction of the system, and
the opnyessors feel that il is so. The polili-
cal parties will make a desperate effort to save
themselves from the destruction their corrup-
ton has brought upon them; and the efforts
of the aboliiionisis TO maintain and enforce
the Right should be proportionably great
Arrangements should be made at the coming
meeting to continue the anti-slavery agitation
by the lips of the living speaker, and to ex'
tend more widely the circulation of the So

Recording Sec'ry.

Came into existence because of the needs of
the Anti-Slavery cause. The handful OF
abolitionists, who, in 1881, demanded of the
American people the immediate emancipa-
ton of their bondmen, found that the aid of
the Press was indispensable in the prosecu-
ton of their undertaking it was needed as
a means of aggression, as well as of defence.
The public mind was not prepared to apply
the doctrine of immediate repentance to the
sin of sIaveholding; the principles and mea-
sures of abolitionists were misunderstood
and misrepresented, and the supporters of
the Church and of the State saw that the
interests of their organizations demanded
that the question of slavery should not be
discussed. To effect this, 10 crush free
speech, their best energies were applied
But Truth was mightier than they and little
by little did they unwillingly yield, until
slavery has now become a prominent subject
for discussion in every religious sect. and in
every political party in the land. And while
we rejoice 10 know thata few here and there,
the one in the thousand, and the two in the
ten thousand, oppose slavery upon high mo-
raj ground, we are compelled to believe that
the opposition made to it by sects and parties
is less exalted in its character, having had its
birth in expediency. They have not volun-
tarily taken the position they now occupy,
-. Lo,o boan forno1 into IL hu or OutuvaTI
pressure the continual goading of the Anti
Slavery Press, and of Aboliiionists in their
associated and individual capacity has driven
them to the advance ground they have taken.
Remove that pressure, withdraw that infu-
ence or lessen it in any material degree, and
although they may not %retrograde to their for
mer position, there will necessarily be a back
ward movement, and the reaction mag be
such as to cause them to become even more
pro-slavery than they were.
A good friend of the cause has suggested
to US, whether the necessity tor having anti
slavery papers has not passed away-whethe
they have not fulfilled their mission by open
ing other channels through which anti-slave
nv truth can be poured upon the people,
We think not. The doctrine of Disunion-
religious and political-which is the highes
noint abolitionists have yet attained, is a
odious in the estimation of the great majorit
as Immediate Emancipation ever was. An
if. in the earlier days of the enterprise, it wi
necessary to establish a Press in order to e'
plain and defend the doctrine of the abol
f florists, and to make war against the prime
pie Of slavery, il is quite as necessary

METHODIST CoNFERENcE-PREsBYTERIAN
GENERAL AssEMBLY.-We have seen but
little respecting the action of either of these
ecclesiastical bodies, the former of which
convened in Pitlsburg, the latter in Balti-
more. For a year or two past we have been
in the weekly receipt of the "Pittsburg Chris
lian Advocate" from which we expected to
gather a full account Of the proceedings of
the Conference, but just on the eve of the
meeting of that body, the publishers of the
Advocate discontinued sending us an ex-
change, SO we are left to CLEAN what we can
from other papers, where we have found but
little that would interest our readers.
The only action taken by the General AS
sembly in relation 10 the colored man, Of
which we have seen any notice, is the adop-
ton of a resolution in favor of that cruel and
wicked scheme of eXpatriation- African Colo
n~ization.
We presume both bodies are yet in session,
for much must be done before their sectarian
lions can be put in a state of defence against
the inroads made upon them by the humani-
ty and practical religion of Samaritan inf
deity.

Democratic DiSuniOH.

There was less harmony in the Democra-
tic Convention at Baltimore, than was desl-
red by its blinded worshippers. The pre-
sence Of two sets Of delegates from New
York-the Landowners, or Wilmot PTovlso'
men, and their opponents the Hunkers-was
the means of creating considerable dlscord.-
A committee was appointed to examine the
respective claims Of the two sets of delegates,
and report TO the Convention. The leaders
were evidently afraid that if the Barnburn-
ors were admitted, and an Anti-Proviso tick
ct should be nominated, they might refuse to
90 with the party, and the Committee there
fore endeavored to exact from them a pledge
that they would abide by the nomination,
which pledge they refused to give. The re-
suit was, the Barnburners were denied their
seats, and the Hunkers admitted TO member
ship, although the latter refused to exercise
their privileges because proper etiquette was
not observed toward them, but finally pledg-
ed the support OF their constituents to Cass'
Butler, and Slavery. The Barnburners en-
tered the following protest against the action
of the committee.
PeoTEsr.-The Delegation Of the Demo-
cracy of the State Of New York to the Balti-
more Convention, respectfully protest against
,he decision of this Committee, that before
entering upon the examination of the evil
dence OF their night to seats in the Conven-
ton, and before they have become MEMBERS
of the body, they shall pledge themselves to
the decisions of the Convention, and to sup
port its nominees. They would feel them
selves unworthy to represent the Democra-
CIV of New York, if they could submit to a
decision which would impeach the integrity
of the representative, and which would dis
honor our State, and subject lis Delegates to
a condition which the Convention expressly
declined to impose upon the Delegates of a.
nv other State in the Union prior 10 their ad-
mission. The Delegates of the Democracy
of New York must be admitted TO the Balti-
more Convention Internationally, or not at
all.
{, W e; can"Rrl'S0' Delegates at Large.
Speculation is rife as to what will be the
action of the Wilmot Proviso Democracy
Some assert they will nominate another cam
didate, which will perhaps draw off so many
of the party from the support of the regular
nominations as will cause the defeat Of the
ticket others are as confident that they will
ere long return to their allegiance, and again
bow their necks to the yoke; and it must be
confessed that the Democratic party have a
wonderful knack of healing family jars-oi
patching up household q%uarrels. Their move
ments will probably be influenced in a grea
ter or less degree by the action of the Wing
Nominating Convention, which met in Phi
ladelphia on Wednesday last. If a strong
ticket emanates from that body, one that would
stand a good chance Of success even if the
Democratic party were united, and would
certainly succeed if there was any detection
or wavering in its ranks, we should fear that
the potency of the lust this once" argument
would induce them to yield all for which
they now contend.

terested in the Simplifying of our written Ian

for the "Anglo-SaXon;" though VIZ hope the

admitting extraneous topics of a controversial

to run a tilt against "wholesale reformers" or.
others, whose sentiments or conduct have
nothing to do with either Photography or

NAPOLEON AT REST.

By PikhPtNi.
His ta'chion flashed along the Me,
His hos, he led through A pine SNOW,
Der Moscow's towers thai blazed Inc whiie,
His eagle flag unroled-and ifo1e'
Here sleeps he nov, alone-not one
Or all the kings whose crowns De gave,
Bencs DER his dust; nor wife nor son
Has ever seen or sought his grave.
Behind the sea girt rock, the star
Tha, led him on from crown TO crown
Has sunk, and nations from altar
Gazed as j, faded and went down.
High is his tomb: The ocean food,
Far tar below, by storms is curied-
As round him heaved, while high ne stooo,
A stormy and unstable world.
Alone he sleeps: the mountain c!ouo
That night hangs round him and the breath
Of morning scatteIs, is The shroud
Tha, wraps the conqueror's clay in death.
Pause herel The far off world al last
Breathes tree; the hand that shook its thrones
And 10 the earth lis mi,res cast,
Lies poWerless now beneath these stones.
Hark! comes there from the pyramids,
Aud from Siberian wastes OF snow,
And Europe's hills, a voice that bids
The world be awed 10 mourn him2-No!
The only, the perpetual dirge
That's heard here, is The sea-bird's cry
The mourntul murmur Of The surge,
The clouds deep Voice, the wiod's low sigh.

INCONSISTENCY OF THE WINGS.
