What think you, Christians?

Not many months since, a boat was de-
scending the Cumberland river. Among the
passengers were a minister, and a negro-tra-
der. Tho trader had with him several col
ored men and women, whom he was carry
ing to the South. Another passenger on this
boat was pleased with one of the women and
wished 10 buy her. A bargain was made
The trader asked one Of the passengers to
write a bill Of sale for him. The man refu-
sed. He then asked the minister. The min
lister h~esitated for a moment, and then, Sab
bath as it was, he sat down al the table and
wrote out a bill of sale of The woman. Ne
knOW this 10 be a fact. In the course Of that
very Sabbath-day, that minister spoke TO his
fellow-travel!ers with great enthusiasm and
exulialion, of a revival, which a short tims
previous he had been the means OF producing.

An Interesting Slave Case.

Ckyistopher WebJ VS.. Jacob limerick -
This was an action in the Erie Court, +. T..
Stevens presiding, for assault and battery
and false Imprisonment, brought by plaintiff
AGAINST defendant, one Of our City Police
constables.
The trial of this cause commenced on the
2Ist instant, and closed on The evening OF the
23d-the Court not being in session on the
22d.
The circumstances that led to this case, as
appeared in evidence, are peculiar and novel.
In the latter part of September last, two large
athletic men, one by the name OF Perry, the
other Wolf, slave dealers in kentucky, made
their appearance in cur city in search Of a ne
gro who they said was ii runaway slave
While prowling about the city in search Of
their rame, they learned that a negro bearing
the description Of the one they were III search
of was then engaged at work in the upper
part Of The Gothic Hall.
Anxious 10 ascertain the feeling of our re-
publican city, and how far they might pro-
coed to the securing OF their prey, they appli-
ed to the defendant, who, upon the represent
atoms made to him, consented 10 assist them
in the prosecution of their designs. The ne
cessary plans to their success being consul
mated, they proceeded 10 the Gothic Hall 10
secure the plaintiff. The two slave dealers
entered the upper part of the Hall, where The
plaintiff was engaged at work, seized hold Of
him. as though he had been guilty OF the
hiphest crime known 10 our laws, and, with
out giving him time to put on his hat, era
vat, or boots, thrust him out therelrom, down
a dark pair Of stairs, where they were joined
by defendant. .
By this time the news of the capture of
plaintiff drew together an assemblage of peo-
pie of all colors. The slave dealers were
here inquired of by what right or authority
they arrested the plaintiff, butno answer was
given, upon which the youngest Of the Two
drew from his side a six-barTeled revolving
pistol, and said ,hathe would ''blow through"
the first man who interlered. His courage,
however, soon become a little cooled by The
interposition of one or two who told him that
our laws and the rights of our citizens should
bo proteciod-explained the nature OF The Of
fence ne had committed by the display Of the
pistol-and that by the WORDS accompanying

Ratification Of the Treaty.

We are glad to have so good a prospect of
glad too-all excepting the few ultraists Of
the South who would sacrifice everything for
slavery the officers, whose pay and glory
will be diminished by it; and those unprin-
cipIed political demagc CUES whose hest stock
in trade is the capital the war has made
them.
The Treaty forwarded by Ttisi, WAS be-
fore the Senate two weeks, and though some
amendments are said TO have been made, it
is reported they were not such as 10 effect its
main features. The vote on its adoption
was 80 TO Is; two-thirds Of the whole being
the required majority. Although the Senate
sat with closed doors while the question was
before it, yet some how or other a lutte Of its
proceedings leaked oat Notwithstanding all
its secrecy but the public will not certain
ly know what are the specific provisions Of
the amended Treaty until its ratification or
rejection by the government of Mexico
The -%vaiiOnGi In!eHigencer states that the lea
ding provisions made in the original treaty,
are
/. The restoration Of Peace betNcen the
Republics Of the United States and
Mexico.
>. The establishment of a boundary which
will include within the bounds of ths
United States all the territory North
aud East of the Rio Grande, from the
Car r NI,.i,, ., III D.. ,,J ,I,.oa
along a line to the Pacific, the Provin-
ces Of New Mexico and Upper Califor-
mia.
3. The payment to Mexico, in considera-
ton of this cession, Of Fifteen Millions
of Dollars, and, in addition, the pay
ment by the United States Of the sums
due, or which may be found due, by
the Government Of Mexico to citizens
of the United States, (say five millions
Of d~ollars.)
The amount OF territory proposed TO be ce-
ded TO the United States, is, according to
Mexican computation 75l,l44 square miles.
Although so litlle is known about the Sc
Mates amendments, speculation is Of course
rife as 10 their character, and the Washing
ton letter writers speak oracnldrly in relation
thereto. Those who assert that the South as
usual had her own way, and dictated what
tney should be, probably speak the truth, but
not from absolute knowledge, nor because
they are clothed with an extra measure of the
spirit of prophecy. 1t is easy to Judge of the
future by the past, and as the South has ev'
er ruled under the Federal Union, it requires
but little sagacity TO %iorsee, that, from the
very nature of that Union, she will continue
10 rule while it exists.

'solemn guarantees'' to the Southern States
to maintain the supremacy of those laws
which force man to become property "to all
%intents, purposes, and constructions whatso-
ever" as the slave law reads, and that the
decision of the latter has ever riveted anew
tho letters Of the escaping bondman and au-
thorized his re-subjection to that power
which it knows has made, and designs to
again make property Of him. When we
have these facts before our mind, all disputes
about technicalities of the Constitution, or Of
decisions Of the Supreme Court seem a mat
ter of small moment. We know that the
Constitution, and the high Judicial tribunal
it creates, foster and protect the Upas tree of
slavery, and the deadly influence of the &C.
cursed plant is not in the least lessened by
Constitution and Court asserting that they
have never regarded its victims as property.
Perhaps this affair Of Pachcco's may seem
to others TO have a grave and important bear
ing, but while this nation can become a land
pirate to please Slavery, can vote tens Of thou
sands of men and millions of dollars to
lengihen the cords and strengthen the stakes
of the peculiar institution, can engage in a
governmental slave hunt and make the ever.
glades and morasses of Florida resound with
the baying Of its allies-the Cuban blood
hounds; we say that while it can DO these
things, it appears supremacy ridiculous to us
a choice specimen of dainty affectation for i
to be discussing whether it ought not to re
fuse to pay for the slave Of Antonio Pacheco
on the ground that it has never recognized
slaves as property!

Another Contribution 10 Science.

Messrs. Andrews & Boyle are publishing,
in the ADglo-SaXon, a series of articles on
:" Phonetics, or The General Principles of the
Pronunciation of all Languages" from the
pen OF Herr Zabdiel Haurilz, a distinguished
German philogist, now on a visit 10 this coun-
try. Herr HauTitz has devoted many years
to the investigation of this subject, having
resided in various countries with a view to
making the most extensive observations upon
all the phenomena Of human speech, and ac-
qniring a practical knowledge Of the langua-
yes Of Europe and Asia.
This treatise, though bearing the indubita-
BILE marks of profound learning, such as we
have seldom had the pleasure OF seeing eXhi-
bited in this country, is nevertheless written
in a style OF extreme simplicity and adapta-
ton to the common comprehension, worthy
of admiration. Judging from those portions
of the treatise which we have been able to
peruse, we should say that, this series Of ar
ticles, alone, would be of far more value to
any reader interested in the study Of his own
language, or engaged in acquiring a foreign
one, than the yearly subscription price Of the
Anglo-Saxon.-N. Y. Tribune.

A Discussion

Upon The moral character of slaveholding,
and the Bible relation of master and slave,
was held in this place last week, between
Abner e.. Kirk and Samuel Hardman-the
latter Affirming that slaveholding was both
moral and Bible-sanctioned, the former deny
ing it.
Such discussions may do some good by
arousing the attention of the people, and in
ducing them to examine the merits of the sys-
tenn but il seems a matter Of comparative
insignificance 10 decide whether slavery
not American slavery, or any other that exists
and needs to be abolished-but slavery in the
abstract, without any Of its abuses, as they
say, be moral or immoral, sanctioned or con-
demncd by the Bible. If the question dis
cussed had been in relation TO the character
of american slavery, it would have been IA
matter Of far greater importance, for if that
system is rightly decided 10 be immoral, it is
clearly the duty OF all lovers of morality to
oppose it. But suppose it could be shown
that Jewish servitude was immoral, would
lndl dIeCl lne Character Oh American slavery!
If it could be demonstrated that the Bible
sanctioned Jewish servitude, would that make
American slavery rightl The decision of the
question either way does not bring any one a
whit nearer TO an intelligent understanding
of their duty to the bondman of this land.
II those who call Jewish servitude slavery,
end as such defend it, design by SO doing to
pave the way for a defence Of American Chris
tian Shareholders, by the same facts and ar
guments, we warn them 10 BEWARE! The
church in France asserted that the Bible sane
toned slavery, and the evolutionists of that
land made this assertion the fulcrum upon
which they placed the lever by which they
overturned her social, civil and religious insti.
%tutions. They appealed 10 the humanity of
the masses, to that innate conviction that man
has Of the unrighteousness Of slavery. The
people declared with one voice that il was
wrong to make merchandise of man "but
the church declares that the Bible sanctions
the practice" said the leaders. down with
the Bible," was the response, "down with
everything that sanctions slavery"

that unfortunate class Of females who from
choice, or The force of circumstancrs, are
compelled to lead a life of single blessed

aware, claims to he the original Inventor Of
the ~cast-iton plough-shaIe, now in general
use among the farmers OF the country. For
this lie obtained in 1914, a patent, and re-
newed il again in 1929; and a bill some
weeks ago passed the Senate, to grant these
lady heirs the privilege of eXactinu fifty cents
from the manufacturer FOR every c~lsl-iron
plOw made in the United States fer seven
years from and after the passage of the bill
now pending before the House. Should the
bill pass, it would place in the purses Of
these ladies', or in the pockets OF their hus-
bands (l they get any the snug sum Of a
half million Of dollars annually. This enor-
nous sum would come from the farmcts OF
the country. From present indications | am

who OF course regard such a claim with no
ordinary interest, and will doubtless vie with
each other in accomplishing the ends of the
fair petitioners, with a zeal and interest con-.
mensurate with the importance of the cause.
Perhaps some Of these fellows speculate up
on tho income to these ladies', resulting from
the passage Of this bill, and no doubt aspire
to the high privilege of sharing In the enjoy

The House, taking into consideration the
