thousands of immortal beings herded as the
OK for market and sold annually upon the
"auction block" and can you falter in the
choice Of your enjoymeL S, or prefer the plea
sures of fashion and mirth 10 the God-like
enjoyment of assisting in breaking off the
shackles from those sisters, and babes, and
mothers, and wives, and brothers!
But do your hearts still enquire, what can
a handful of women accomplish in this great
reform Uoman! Rather Uhat can she not
accomplish? Although to an alarming extent
she has been the tool or toy of man altho'
denied her claims to equal, social, civil and
political privileges. she has exercised a nigh
~ influence over the fate Of mankind. In
savage and uncivilized nations she has been
little else than the instrument to bring forth
the progeny and do the drudging of the world.
Performing all the toll in wigwams of the
savage-following in the rear of the armies

slave mart for the basest of motives "what
has woman been but a trampled flower,
plucked and cast aside as soon as its odor
had produced safety" but still beautiful in
its ruin! The part you now act in this and
the other great reforms of the day, prophesies
with the certainty Of inspiration that yotr re-
demption draws nigh. For the elevation of
one is the elevation of all; for we are indis-

call you blessed.

well refrain from a negative decision. AL /
that it needs, is, that they forget names and
weigh actions.
There stand two bodies of men.
One of them declare that God ordained
that man should buy and sell his brother man,
should rob him of his heritage Of immortali-
ty and degrade him to a level with the brutes.
They stand forth as the advocates of war,
they bless its hell-engendered enginery and,
like the war-horse, snuff with delight tho
scent of battle from afar. Prisons, and stocks,
and whipping posts, and gibbets are to them
hallowed things that should be cherished and
defended. Famine, and pestilence, and vice,
and wretchedness are ever on their path.
The other are the advocates Of that glori-
Gus liberty wherewilh the Truth makes free;
they see in every man a brother, in every
child of humanity a child of God; they seek
to elevate, not to depress, 10 bless, not to
curse. They sing the song which eighteen
centuries ago filled with sweetest melody the
s%tar-gemmed heavens of Judea, peace on
earlh ana good VIII TO man" and they strive
by their labors to convert prophecy into his
tory, TO induce nations to 'beat their swords
into ploughshares, and their spears into pru-
ming hooks" The gallows and the dungeon
are to them the barberous relics of past ages,
uncalled for, and at variance with the Spirit
of Love. Before their influence the woes and
wretchedness of earth diminish, the moral
desert begins to blossom as a rose, and the
waste places to be restored.
Those who compose one ofthese bodies are
called Modern Infidels, the other Modern
Christians. Which seems to be most likely
to extend the gospel of Him who taught that
pure religion consisted III doing goOd-in
works of benevolence and in deeds of met-
cy!

tianity COntraSted."

This, as our readers will see by an adver-
tisement in another column, is the title of a
work which n. N. Selby designs publishing.
We have not seen it, and know nothing of
its plan or character; but if it presents in a
strong light the comparative merits of these
two systems of religion, it will be what the
people need, though probably they do not
class it among their wants.
There is much in a name; more, far more
than the world is always ready to admit. A
name has made the fortunes of some men,
and a name has brought others to the gallows;
a name has overtlIrown empires, and a name
has builded kingdoms; a name has been the
high mark of distinction, and a name has
been the low badge of %infamy; a name has
given currency to a spurious religion, and a
name has caused true religion to be despised

ry person the name which rightfully belongs
to ihem-a name which conveys a true idea
of the character, so that none being deceived
by the name shall mistake the shadow fol

to enlighten the public mind, and show tina
Modern Infdelity ard Modern Christianit,
have not been rightly named; for we believe
it to be a truth readily susceptible of demon
~stration that what the church calls ModerI
Infdelity is the religion of Christ, and tina
Modern Christianity is lnfdelity in piou,

misnamed which prevents the people from
I gladly receiving the first and repudiating til,
latter.
The church claims to be christian in char
acter, and assumes the right to wear The

consequently issues her bull of excommuni

A partial attempt on the Hotel de Vile was
said TO have been made. Two guardhouses
were attacked, but the assailants were beaten
oil. An attempt to induce the workmen on
the Strasburg Railway to DIN them was made
by the communists, but failed.
Matters in Paris have reached a critical
point. One Of those crises when the fate of
a nation rests on the conduct of one great
man, but while Providence preserves the life
OF Lamartlne, we have no fears of the issue.
Meetings in favor of the Charter have been
held IN almost every town of note in England
and Scotland. The Convention has adjour-
ned, after appointing Populations to visit the
provinces OF England and Ireland, and adop-
ted a petition to the Queen, praying the dis
missal of Ministers.
In some districts the middle classes have
fraternized with them, and at Birmingham
and Nottingham meetings of merchants fa-
vorable to some of the points Of the Charter
have been held.
Intelligence has reached us of the regular
organization of Chartist forces in Scotland.
The deplorable state of Ireland, apparently
on the verge of a civil war, continues to oc-
cupy the attention of all classes. The diff
ferences between the Repealers, headed by
Mr.. OConnell, and the party lead on by Mr..
Mitchell, becomes greater every day.
The rent has fallen to G25, and it is evil
dent that a numerical majority of the Irish
people are in favor of violent measures. In
the meantime the people of every part of the
country continue to supply themselves with
arms. Great and influential bodies continue
TO pour in addresses to the Lord Lieutenant,
expressive of their determination to support
the Government-but the train of discomfort
seems now to be laid SO extensively, and with
such mischievous effect, that we doubt whe-
Their the whole weight of the Government,
with even the support of the O'Connells, will
be able to prevent some great explosion

Another Chapter in Ecclesiastical His
tory.

Most of our readers probably recollect the
ced to their notice a short time since, and
who was disowned by the Salem Monthly
Meeting of Friends, Orthodoxy for being
guilty, as was ~aicdged, of'not taking the ad-
vice of her friends, and Prelerring high char
ges against the Society or in other words,
of being too independently anti-slavery for
them. She appealed from the decision of
the Monthly 10 the Quarterly meeting desi-
rous to know whether the latter would sane
ton the tyranny Of the former and her appeal
came up on Saturday last.
The usual form of proceeding in such ca
ses is, for the Quarterly meeting to appoint a
committee to hear what may be urged by the
appellant against the decision of the inferior
meeting, ard what may be offered in its ia
vor by a delegation representing the said
meeting. The appellant attended on the
Quarterly meeting, going first into the wo-
mems side. Before the committee was APP
pointed she was informed that she had a right
to object to any whose name might be propo-
sed, whom she felt unwilling to have sit in
judgment upon her case, whether nominated
by the women's or mems meeting. After
the nominations in the women's meeting had
been made, she stated in substance that the
persons named on the committee were stran-
gers to her, but she desired that if any OF
them had husbands who voted for slavehol-
ders or participated in this slaYeholding gov.
eminent, and they sympalhized with them,
that such should Withdraw their names.-
This request came like a thunderbolt upon
the meeting. Ii was an intimation that the
Society Of Friends might not be SO immacu,
late after all, pretty broad insinuation tha.
there possibly were Quakers who voted 70,
Shareholders, or in soIne other way gave thei
voluntary support to a slaveholding govern
ment. What could the meeting do with sucl
a request and preserve the anii-slavery char
acter which it fancies it has! Clearly moth.
ing! And it did nothing, and in this at leasr
showed its wisdom, although we prefer say
ing nothing about its honesty in this connec
ton. After the appointments had been con
frmed, the appellant went into the men'
meeting, much to the surprise of many Of tn,
women, who, whatever may be their W
theory of equality or that which prevails il
the Society of Friends, doubtless regarde,
such a procedure as highly improper, not II
say imPudent and indicate.
A similar form was gone through with b,
the.men, and persons were nominated for til,
committee. The appellant told them that
any who were named voted for Shareholders
or were supporters Of this pro-slaveIy gov
eminent, she desired that their places Nigh
be filled by oIhers-s she wished to have non

More Annexation Ahead.

We see that the Presidents Messape IN
the Senate in relation TO affairs in Yucatar
and the appeal of its inhabitants for pro,ec-
ton, has been made the subject of conside-
rable comment both in that BODY and among
the people. That the condition of the inbab-
ltants of Iucatan is bad, we have no doubt,
provided a true representation has been made,
Exposure to the attacks of hostile Indians
who have probably been goaded to d~espera-
ton by the wrongs inflicted on them by the
pale faces, is certainly far from desirable;
and had not the United States army crippled
the power of Mexico, that government would
have provided troops to defend its citizens in
Iucatan. The United States has now some
thoughts of taking advantage of its own
wrong doing, and by furnishing protection to
a Mexican State which is at this time a part
of the Mexican Union, obtain a right to ''do-
mlnion and sovereignty over it.
The people of Yucatan have made a SINH
lar appeal and a similar offer to Spain and
England. This has aroused the jealousy of
Polk and his counsellors, and the former ad-
vlses ''that it should be distinctly announced
to the world, as our settled policy, that no
future European colony or dominion shall,
with our consent, be planted or established
on any part Of the American continent"
We are unable to understand where this
government obtained the right to put forth
so threatening a declaration, or by what au-
thority it could presume to so far exercise
dominion over the entire continent Of Ameri-
ca as virtually to forbid European colonies
or dominions to be planted or established in
the Western Hemisphere. Does the CON-
v~enient plea of A~nglo-Saxon descent justify
the act, or is it driven on by irresistible des-
tiny to grasp, and grasp, and grasp until il
becomes so unwieldy and unmanageable that
it dies of annexation? So long as it asserts
that it had the right TO annex Texas to its
own territory, it will seem to every one who
can think, the sheerest nonsense to deny that
England has a right to annex Yucatan to
hers. If the United States covets it, let it
take it, and if it will, the whole of Mexico;
let it steal province after province, state after
state-the more rapacious and robber-like its
course the sooner it will be brought to JUS
tice.
We sometimes feel so little interest in the
designs or prospects of this government, tina
we hardly care to be at the trouble of asking
what they are; for we believe the truth con-
tanned in the old proverb "Give a rogue
enough rope and he will hang himself" is
as applicable to nations as to men.

TREATY WITH MEXIco.-No information
has yet been received as 10 the action Of the
Mexican government on the amended treaty.
The last accounts we have seen, state, that
there has not yet been a quorum of the Con-
gress at Queretaro. Gen. Butler who has
now the command of the American forces in
Mexico, writes that he has little or no expec-
tasion that the treaty will be ratified.

How calmly they ST. each one in his place
While their lungs with slow poison are red
What makes the grave deacon SO drowsy at church
The scholar SO dull in his class ,..A
Dry sermons dry studies the brains III the iurchi

Come, rouse from your stupor before it's too late,

OF btters, salves, hot drops, and medicine fumes,
And bleeding, and blisters, and pills.
Then shut yourself up like monk in his cave,
Till nature grows weary and sad,
And imagine yourself on the brink of the grave,
Where nothing is cheerful and glad.
BE sure, when you sleep, that all air is shut out,
Place, too, a hot brick at your feet;

But would you avoid the dark gloom of disease,
Then haste to the fresh open air,
Where your cheek may kindly be famed by its
Twill make you we'll, happy, and fair.

It's laden with gladness and wealth.
The richest Of blessings that heaven can bring,
The bright panacea of health.

And give free entrance to heavens pure air
