a change OF purpose, a change Of national cha

nation is composed of individuals. Individ-

American Religion.

The following communication from our
friend Curtis-who was an eye witness TO
the proceedings referred to-portmys some
rich developments of American religion and
hypocrisy.
The communication Of Mr.. Selby spoken
of below was published in the BugIe of Dec.
3. 1t will be seen by reference to Mr.. Sell
by's statement of the affair, that Mr.. Walker
merely arose in a Public Meeting and asked
this question: 'Nr. McAbee what right have
] at this meeting; it being a public meeting
and | one of the publicl'' 81 attended
meeting this morning, being invited as !
thought, and was violently forced from your
door; and as | don't like to violate rules, ]
wish you to tell me what is my right al this
meeting"
To this Mr.. Abee replied: SIT is your
right to take your seat and hear as others do;
and if you don't do it, We'll find a way tC
make you, or will put you out of the house
"Why Mr.. McAbee," said Walker, "yor
would not raise a mob to put me out of thu
houser" Then commenced the attack upoI
him, one 'pious brother seizing him by tn,
collar. The disturbance as will be seen By
referring to Mr.. SeIby's account, was com
menced and carried on by the church. Mr.
Walker is probably now in Carrollton Jail.

FRIENDS EDlToRs -

Another interesting
scene in the drima Of which Mr.. Selby
gave you the first, has been acted. Mr..
Walker and myself had no sooner arrived in
Leesburgh from our tour to Licking co. than
we were informed that he was prosecuted for
disturbing a religious meeting. In an hour
or two the Constable served a States War
rant upon him. The trial came of last Fri
day before Samuel Dunlap Esq. of Hagers-
town. He was fined fifteen dollars and costs,
all amounting 10 about nineteen dollars
That he would be fined he and all his friends
were as well assured before the trial as after.
The prosecution was commenced on the
affidavit of Thos. White, member of the
NJ. +. Church, who, as common report says,
declared, when advocating the rightfulness
OF the Mexican War, that he would shoot an
abolilionist as soon as he would u Mexican.
To crafty the malice of such men was Mr..
Walker prosecuted. But Notwithstanding
this, SO far did the evidence, on the trial,
brought by the prosecutor, fall short of sus-
tanning the charge, that the Attorney for Mr..
Walker, Mr.. Van Brown, thought il entirely
unnecessary to introduce any testimony on
the part of the defense, although there was
an abundance at hand.
The Council for the State took but little
notice of the testimony, more than to remark
that she was ashamed to say any thing, it was
so clear Mr.. Walker had disturbed the NEE
ting =" Clear as it was, he found it neces-
sary to drag in the slanderous reports in cir
c%ulation, that he (Walker,) was a "dlsorgan-
iSer," an ''infdel'' &c, and upon these get
up a prejudice in the mind of the Justice,
or rather excite one already there, and by

FRIENDS EDlToRs:-
Perhaps it will be amusing to some of yorr
readers, to know how they blend things in
this latitude. When opposition to Slavery
shall be a part of our religion, then Slavery
will die. Does any one doubt this! If so,
let him see as | have, the Slave Market
standing within sight of six churches, or
houses Of'worship, and | think he will say it
is enough. Here is a hasry plan and some
specifications of the place where Gods inn
age is stored away, to be afterwards sold sin
lots to suit purchasers" and 10 the highest
bidder! A tight fence, some ten feet high,
made of rough boards, enclosing a small
space of ground, and one or two dwellings,
with a corresponding gate. Here is the sign
as near as / can describe it:

At (I) There is the likeness of a colored
woman standing.
At (2) Is the likeness of a white female
holding a card in one hand, on which the
words "for sale' are written.
At (3) Is the likeness of a colored
man.
This sign some two feet wide by eight
feet long, hangs out over the side walk !,
This Market stands in the heart of a city
containing some IL, 900 inhabitants, and as
before stated, in sight of six churches, viz
one Baptist, one Episcopalian, wo Presby-
terrain, one Catholic, and one Methodist.

Obedience 10 God.

The heather, unsupported by those prospects
which the Gospel opens might be supposed to
have sunk under every trial; yet among them,
was sometimes displayed an exalted virtue
virtue, which no interest, no danger, could
shake virtue, which could triumph amidst
tortures and death: virtue, which, rather than
forfeit its conscious integrity, could be content
to resign its consciousness forever. And shall
not the Christian blush to repine 1.-THE Chris
tian, from before whom the veil is removed; to
whose eyes are revealed the glory of Heaven -!
Your indulgent Ruler doth not call you to run
in vain, Or to labor in vain, Every difficulty,
and every trial, that occurs in your path, is fresh
opportunity, presented by his kindness, of impro-
wing the happiness, after which he hath taught you
to aspire. By every hardship which you sustain
in the wilderness you secure an additional portion
of the promisedand What though the combat
be severe? A kingdom,-an everlasting king
dom,-is theprize of victory. Look forward to
the triumph which awaits you, and your cour'
age will revive.

Happiness is to be attained in the accustomed

occupation of civic Office in wife's love infin-

caslonal and dearly -bought indulgence; in the
virtue Of contentment, more than in the anxious
achievements of wealth. distinction and gran
deur; in change of heart more than in change
of circumstance; in full, firm trust in Provi-
dence, more than in hoping for fortunes favor
in growing taste for the beauties of nature,
more than in the fee-simple inheritance of whole
acres of land in the observance of neatness and
regularity household virtues, rather than in the
means of ostentatious, and, therefore, rare dis

A Good Temper.

This is very difficult thing to ascertain be-
forehand Smiles are cheap; they are easily put
on for the occasion; and besides, the frowns are,
according to the lovers whim, interpreted into
the contrary, By good temper do not mean
an easy temper, serenity which nothing dis
turbs, for that is mark of laziness. Sullen-
ness, if you be not too blind to perceive it, is a
temper to be avoided, by all means. A sullen
man is bad enough; what, then, must be sui
len woman and that woman a wife; constant
inmate, companion day and night Only
think of the delight of setting at the same table,
and occupying the same chamber, for week,
without exchanging word all the while! Very
bad to be scolding for such length of time
but this is far better than the salkS.'-Dr Al

Today and Tomorrow.

To-day, man lives in pleasure wealth, and pride
Tomorrow, poor, of life itself denied.
To-day, lays plans of many years to come,
Tomorrow, sinks into the silent tomb.
To-day, his food is dressed in dainty forms,
Tomorrow, is himself feast for worms.
To-day, he's clad in gaudy, rich array,
Tomorrow, shrouded for bed of clay.
To-day, enjoys his halls built to his mind,
Tomorrow, in coffin is confined.
To-day, he floats on honor's lofty wave,
Tomorrow, leaves his titles for grave.
To-day, his beauteous visage we extol,
Tomorrow, loathsome in the sight of ALL
To-day, he has delusive dreams of heaven,
Tomorrow cries, TOO late to be forgiven"
To-day, he lives in hopes as light as air,
Tomorrow, dies in anguish and despair

Render not Evil for Evil.

How could language be more distinct and
clear than that used by the Savior himself con-
corning the retaliatory spirit of ancient tines
Ye have heard that it hath been said, an eye for
an eye, and tooth for tooth, quoting all
most verbatim from the Mosaic code which saith,
Thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth
for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot" &c; but
say unto you-whatl The same thing! Did
he quote the passage only to confirm it Hear
him. But say unto you that ye resist (retal-
ate) not evil but whosoeyer shall smte thee on
the right check, turn to him the other also -
unfolding to them the higher and nobler princi-
pie Of overcoming evil with good. say unto
you, love your enemies; bless them that curse
you; do good to them that hate you, and pray
for them that despitelully use you and prosecute
you And why That ycmay be the children Of
yOur Father which is in Heaven, for he maketh
his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and
sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust
Thus we learn from the Savior himself that
the principle of recompensing evil with evil, by
whomsoeyer taught, is not Of God and can ney-
er be practiced by the true children Of the Fa-
Their Why, if there be no difference between
Judaism and Christianity, what do men mean
when they talk about the conversion of the
Jews! Conversion from what Ito what? if
Christianity unfolds no higher principle than Ju-
daism.-RcU. W. p. IIhdm.
