FRlENDs:
Circumstances for the last few weeks pre-
vented my writing as usual. | have attend
ed the church where Mr.. - a circuit or
travelling preacher, occupies The pulpit
While on my way thither, | could not refrain
from considering the position he occupies as
a teacher Of the people-one Of the ''called
and sent' 10 slow unto ns the way Of life
and salvation, being, as | am informed, the
owner and holder Of some twenty slaves, who
are hired out, and are driven TO their unre-
Quilted toll, while he travels and makes
known to the poor and perishing whiie mani
the gratifying intelligence that slaveholding
is not incompatible with the teachings Of the
New Testament. While laboring on this
subject he seemed to be shocked at the fac,
that any gentleman could indulge in p%rofane
swearing; and warned his audience against
SO sinful a practice. almost thought aloud,
is swearing as bad as the ''sum Of all villa
mics I"
At another point in his address, he appeal
ed, with some effect on his audience, TO the
tender ties that may, perchance, be sunder-
ed, if his brethren and sisters were not faith
full with their friends and relatives. Illus
bands would be parted from their wives, pa
rents from their children, &c. Clearly this
would be The climax Of suffering according to
his use Of it. How in Heavens name are
his teaching and his practice to be reconcil-
ed In the legitimate sense Of terms, the
slave does not, cannot, sustain the relation of
Husband, Wife, Parent, Child, any more
than the horse :! Indeed, the Gov. Of La.
in his late annual message compares them to
MULEs! | doubt not but that among this
mans own twenty, the relation Of marriage
is grossly violated /; rarely have l seen a
slave man (say of 30 years of age) bu, what
has lived with more women than one.
Every week brings TO view new wrongs,
new outrages upon the rights of the poor
slave. My heart was panied beyond descrip-
ton, at what l saw on Monday last. / had
heard of the indignities, and treatment and
suffering Of the bondman; but it was some
way off, now it was before me. Three men
fastened with a rope around their wrists and
then around their elbows, behind their backs;
the slack end extending some II feet was
grasped by the hand of a man on horseback,
who was driving them with horrid oaths
and cursings. The above preacher would
probably have demonstrated with him on the
improperly of stcedring! These men were
guilty of no crime but that Of fleeing from
the overseer who had killed one of their num-
Der but a few days before. This is but a
specimen of what frequently transpires in
this latitude. d..
Yours as one who needs 10 inhale a purer
and freer air. Farewell, r.

DEAR BUGLE =
How often we hear people declare thai
their church is in no way connected with the
peculiar manstealing and woman whipping
institutions Of our land; and how soon they
boil over when its anti-slavery character is
called in question. A case in point occurred
while friend Prescott was l%ecturing here a
few weeks since. Some time ago, | acct
dentally got hold of the United Brethren De-
%cipline, and copied the part in reference to
slavery, intending to send it, with a few
comments, for publication in the Bugle; as
f pwas anxious for them to secure that share
of condemnation, which they SO richly mer-
, it. But not having had an opportunity,
| handed it TO Prescott, to make such use of
as he deemed proper. He read the article

clared that such was not the then Discipline
