there was concealed beneath the apparent

COrwin and DelanO.

On Friday last we had Messrs. Corwin
and Delano amongst US; and what was ex-
Pected to be an immense gathering of the
Wings Of old Columbiana, - Swas held. The
meeting was respectable as to numbers.
though it would, even in this respect. have
been considered a perfect failure in $780,
One thing, however, reminded us of those
old days (; a lire coon was in attendance
The man-if it be lawful TO call the creature
such-who had charge of it, looked as if he
felt privileged beyond the lot Of common
men," But little attention was paid to the
coon, and still less to its keeper, with the
exception Of the glances cast upon the latter,
with a view Of discerning, as nearly as posi-
BILE, the actual length of the ears which must
adorn such a head as his.
Mr.. Delano's speech, which was short,
came off first. His remarks were confined
principally to State politics. He advocated
strongly the election Of Seabury Ford to the
Office of Governor. He said, in relation TO
Presid ential candidates, that he would not
then advise the people as to who they should
vote for, but labored briefly and effectually
to show that there is one, at least, of the three
or four candidates before the people for whom
no man, of a particle of principle, or the
slightest regard for the welfare of the nation,
could for a moment think of casting his vote,
If his true character was understood-this
candidate was Lewis Cass. Mr.. Delano
though travelling in company with Corwin
is understood 10 be a Free Soil man, and ut
terly opposed to the election Of Gen. Taylor
We were disappointed, painfully so, il
the speech Of Mr.. Corwin. We had hear,
that he expected to vote for Gen. Taylor
/, and hence did not look for much from hin
that should be interesting or instruclive; =
s but we were not prepared to hear from hin
d the fulsome eulogy Of the character of ths
n reckless man-slayer and man-enslaver, I
a which we had TO listen. He based Ger
y Taylor's claims TO support principally on tn
e grounds, that he is in sentiment opposed
slavery, and decidedly averse to its exteI
d sion; and that he is pledg not to veto an
Ie bill that Congress may pass excluding slav
ny from the newly acquired territory. II
~ arguments were such as every Taylor pap
in the North, that has little enough of pri
~ ciple to assent 10 them, has used again ar
Is again, with as much ingenuity and force.

both Church and SAFE did homage at his
shrine, and whiihersoever he went his tail
dragged these two stars along, until desfrue-
lion might well have become the watchword
of all. but whilst this loa,hsome Death
was moving forward breathing his blasting
breath upon society, a voice was heard it
il was the voice Of man pleading for man.
And though at first that voice may have fal.
len family upon the distant dcspoi's ear, il
has caused a vibration upon the bosom Of
society that will never cease, so long as
yokcs. and chains, and whips, and guns, and
bloodhounds, and iinbruted man, stands forth
the opponents Of american RePubiiconisn, and
american Christianity. Aye, truth after
truth, has been hurled into the monsters face,
until he has no, only been aroused, but has
made desperate efforts to sustain himself, un-

backward, seeking for far of southern terrific
I ~ upon which TO rest his hindmosi legs, that
he may continue his existence yet longer
And if he but misses his backward, doubtful
step, he will soon give up the ghost with a
hideous groan, that will make despotism
tremble the wide world over.
Mark the success that has attended the
Anti.Slavery cause from its rise 10 the pres
ent. Position after position has been taken
victory after victory has been won, until
humanity's friends now stand upon the broad
principle of No union with slaveholders-
No fellowship with man thieves" And
here will the last battle be fought-here will
the last victory be gained and from this
summit will 90 forth the proclamation oil
mans redemption in America. Then let us
take courage. And whilst Garrison, Foster
and other spirits who are more mighty In
the great moral conflict than we, go forward,
let US press on to the help, and as we move,
let us strike-kt us all strike, and soon will
our work be done. And with this hope may
we not still say
"Conscious of purity and worth,
We may with calm assurance walt
The tardy recompense Of earth;
And. even should justice come too late
To soothe the Spirits homeward flight.
Still heaven, at last, the wrong shall right. "
Yours for true progress.

raj, it is said, who went to il intending "
vote for A" Old Zack,'' left il with a different
discrimination.
That part Of Mr.. CotwiL's speech which
was addressed TO the Van Buren, party, we
liked, for the most part, 80 far as its bearing
upon the anti-slavery portion of that party
was concerned. 1t is well that these should
be reminded, as they certainly were with
much force, that their candidate is not one
for whom any anli-slavery man can consist
emily vote.
We have asked ourselves and others, again
and again, what can be Mr.. Corwin's mo-
tive for advocating tho election Of General
Taylor. It cannot be from wickedness Of
heart, for it would require so much of this as
to make it necessary TO suppose him totally
depraved, and cur philosophy does not al
low us suppose any one in this condition.
Neither can il be from a belief that the blood
hound hero is what he represents him, for to
assert this, would be TO suppose MIR. Corwin
a fpOii, a superstition, w believe, which no
one has made concerning him. Can it be-
then, that a desire Of popularity is the mo-
tive, This appears hardly conceivable fol
what can Mr.. Corwin hope from Gen Tay'
lori Has he forgotten, or will Taylor for
get, if elected, his speech Of last year, If
which he denounced slavery and the war TO
Its extension, and minated that he SHOULD
like to see the Mtxicans welcome the Gene
raj and his army with "bloody hands TO hos
pitihle graves"l
Whatever end Mr.. Corwin may have il
view, it seems TO us he is making use o
most unworthy means 10 attain it; and W,
are panied TO see a man, for whose charactr
we once had some respect, allowing himsel
TO be made the miserable tool of the slav
power.
One prophetic declaration of Mr.. Corwin'
we wish TO put upon record. He declare,
that it will not be six months until Henri
Clay will come out publicly and advocat
the abolition Of slavery in Kentucky. w

An Old friend with a New face.

On Thursday evening of last week we en-
braced the opportunity Of attending a meet
ing, which the hand bills notified was
TO he addressed by John A. Collins of
Cincinnati. And sure enough, John was a
the meeting but he stood not there as we
saw him stand forth in 1910, exposing the
monster Slavery, and with an earnesiness,
and zeal, and eloquence that reached every
heart, appealing 10 man in behalf Of his en-
bruted brother. Nor did he stand forth as
We saw him in 1912, opposing all violence,
discouraging all revenge, and illustrating
with words Of truth and soberness the simple
beauty and irresistible power Of the princi-
pies Of Jesus the Prince Of Peace. Nor did
he stand forth as we saw him in 1914, pres
sing his unpopular views upon the public,
clothing in the rainbow tints of poetry his
ideal Of community life, and making his au-
ditors feel as though a gorgeous vision were
passing before them. No, he entered the
pulpit as a Son Of Temperance, with the
gaudy trapping and tinsel glitter of the order
about him he appeared as the representative
/ Of that body, and as the propounder Of a plan
contemplating the incarceration Of some Of
. the lesser criminals OF society and we could
J not help but feel that there was a worldwide
difference between John A. Collins the for
mer advocate and a~sserter OF the supreme
might Of moral power, and John A. Collins

A recent letter from two well-known re-
formers in our society, who attended the late
Yearly Meeting of Genessee, in the State OF
New York, informs that a minute Of separa'
ton was made, and that the Michigan Friends
expect to open a new Yearly Meeting. The
AntLSlavery portion in Genesee will hold a
convention in the 10th month next. So the
quiet of the quiet-loving people will be likely
10 be disturbed by others than the little pio'
neer insurgent band here.
A friend with whom ] recently conversed
states that the general sentiment among the
pro-slavery Quakers in Indiana, is to vote
for the bloodhound candidate! In this,
think, they are consistent, although had ex'
pectel that the tide of public sentiment woult
have driven some of them into the Free Sol
movement.
The arguments Of our stalwart friends
Wright and Burleigh, were like great works

National Sins.

We look through our s~ectarian exchange
papers with much The same feeling that we
should examine a bushel of chaf-feeling
full faith in the probability Of finding a grain
of wheat.
In g%lancing the other day over the columns
of the Pittsburg Christian Advocate,"-
the western organ of Methodism-our eye
was caught by the following sentence:
"Why is il that the united voice of a
Christian people is not heard uttering its
loud condemnation of our national sinsf"
An important and well.,imed question,
thought We; for all people, and Christian
people especially, ought to be prompt TO con-
denim our national sins.
There is Intemperanee, that has cursed the
land throughout its length and breadth, de-
stroying by its fires The green buds of hui
man hope, and the fair blossoms of human
happiness. Thirty thousand Of our citizens
annually die the death Of the drunkard and
they who vend the poison are licensed SO to
do by National and State governments, and
many of them are recognized as Christian
men by the churches of the land. Surely
Intemperance is one of the National sins to
which the writer allndes.
There too is Slapery, which enchains the
body and blights the intellect Of one sixth Of
our entire Notwithstanding the right to
buy and sell Gods living image. Seventy
thousand Of those upon whom it lays its iror
hand go down annually to the grave with
letters c~lanking upon limbs cold and stiff il
death and National and State government,
say it is all right, and the church sanctife.
the hellish system. Surely Slavery is an
! other National sin TO which the writer al
! ludes.
There too is Wor-Murdef's twin brothe
that tramples out the llfe-blood of human
beings upon the red field of battle, cursinI
both the victor and the vanquished, and sac
y Tifcing 10 glory all that makes home delight
ful-all that renders life a blessing. On

Surely War must be a National sin to viii,
