A Threatened Revolution.

No class of persons are more bitter in their
denunciations Of the revolutionary movements
of Disunionists, than the members Of the So
called Democratic party. They care not for
the end these movements are designed to e-
fect-the securing to man his birthrlght OF
freedom, the Acknowledgement of the slaves OF
the land, the elevation of the Iaborer are moth
ing, or less than nothing in their estimation;
they see but the means by which it is propo-
sed to gain these ends, and with pretended
horror denounce Disuuion as treason, and re-
sistance to ubiquitous laws as the blacklist of
crimes. But when party ends are 10 be at
tanned, when a Democratic majority is to be
secured, they can resort TO revolution, Hey
can clog the wheels of government by their
illegal proceedings, can threaten to overthrow
the civil authority, and frame a new Consti-
tuition TO suit themselves. There is not trea-
son in this, but all is right, and proper, and
democratic, for they aim to place their party
in the ascendant, and in this " the end sane
titles the means.''
This is not prediction nor a fancy sketch,
but a matter of history written out in the an
nails Of the Democratic State Convention, held
at Columbus, May 10th, 1913, where all this
and far more may be found recorded. We
repeat then it is reasonable in their estimation
to strive 10 overthrow a government which
denies to three millions Of its own citizens
the exercise of mans inherent rights, but i
is patriotic to destroy one whose "Apportion,
ment Bill' does not suit the leaders of the
Democratic party! Why do not men think
and reason, and act as men ought, and not b,
eternaIly following in the track of party lead
ers, doing what they command, and refrain
ing from what they forbid! When tciU mel
learn TO be ren, and give the world assur
ance of their manhood!

A pIous ScuuNDREL.-The Rochester (N.
" Advertiser thus describes DR.. John A..
Salisbury, who was lately convicted in that
city, of making and passing spurious coin.
"He was a man of wealth, and occupied
a prominent position in society, was a lead
inc member in one of the churches, and yet
it was given in evidence that after having
spent the night of a Saturday, for instance,
in the manufacture of coUntey(eH coin, he
would 90 into the Sundoy School the next
morning, and take a leading part In the eX-
ercises! lie was a prominent mover in all
the philanthropic objects of the day, remark
able for piety, soherness and benevolence.-
This was his general character in cominuni-
", and vet from the testimony on the part OF
the prosecution, he WIS connected with a
band of the most deliberate scoundrels that
ever went unwhipt of Justice J"
What punishment does society infict upon
those who manufacture and pass upon COM
munity spurious reIigion Are they not guilty
of as great a crime as the maker Of bogus
coin! Do not the former do as much injury
as the latter Can it he that the American
people care more to protect their 6oharS thar
their principles? 1t would be a rare cir
cumstance indeed, 10 hear Of the trial, con
viction and sentence of a counteTfeiter O
Christianity. Should all be indicted ant
punished who are now injuring community
by ~palming of a spurious religion as the tru'
Gospel, many of the pulpits of the land woul'
be vacated, and the penitentiaries he crowde,
by Reverends and Right Reverends.

Truth-for the increase Of Anti Slavery
knowledge.
No uncomfortable portion Of the donations

Manufacturer-will they not be as generous
now as then, and each give ungrudgingly and
literally that which he has to bestowl Ar

The special object Of the proposed Fair is
TO aid the Western &nti-Slavery Society; and
all funds there received will be placed in its
Treasury-no goods are solicited, and none

Society in sustaining its various agencies for
promoting Anti-Slavery agitation, for hasten

nestly invited TO Join us. We labor not for
the advancement Of any political party-for
the furtheranre Of any measures that invoke
the aid of brute force. IT is by the strength
Of moral power we would tear down the
strong holds OF oppression-it is BY establish
ing righteous principles we would secure for
all an Inheritance OF Freedom. If you who
profess 10 be tho friends of the Slave, are
really with us in this contest between Truth
and Erroi-between Slavery and Liberty

CauliOn---Look out for an Impostor.

A colored man by the name of T. B. Tay-
Tor left Massilon on the 10Th of March last
with a gold watch and several hundred dol
lars of money belonging to our citizens, be-
sides leaving The printer minus forty dollars
for printing &c. This said Taylor is a large
black man, can make himself appear honest,
but can feign lameness OF any deception for
defranding the people. The community
wherever he may GO, are warned against put
ting any confidence in his assertions, as he is
a grand imposter and unsafe to be trusted in
society. Said Taylor recently returned from
the upper Lakes with considerable money
which many suppose he OBJ tanned by some
means that would perhaps entitle him to the
Penitentlary or gallows. AL papers who
have regard for good morals will be doing a
favor to community by giving the above an
insertion.

To THE PEOPLE OF Ono:
FeLow CiiizenS-A great crisis is at hand.
The war with Mexico must resuit-it, before
YOU read this call, it shall not have already
resulled-in the acquisition of extensive ter
ritories by the United States. These terrific
ries are now free territories; but II Is deman-
ded by the Slave Power of the country that
they shall be, by the National Government,
made slave territorles-that the trade IN llv-
inr men and women shall be permitted In
them by the national authorlty-that free la
Dor and free laborers shall be virtually eXciu-
ded from them by being subject to a degrad-
ing competition with slave labor and slave
laborers and finally, That they may be cree
ted into slave States, with alsve representa-
tons in Congress, and in the Electoral Col
leges.
1t is strange, but u%nhappily true, that PROM
inent men in each of the two great parties of
the country, have been found ready to submit
to this degrading demand. Mighty efforts
are now made to force upon both these par
ties, nominations, both for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, Of candidates who Will
favor, either by active cooperation or silent
connivance, the designs Of the Slave Power.
These efforts will be successful, unless the
friends of freedom arouse themselves and act
in concert. They may be successful, not
outstanding such action. Ii so, nothing
will remain Tor true patriots, but acqtieScence
in the demand, or d noble struggle Tor vlcto-
ry.
1t becomes us to be prepared for every
event. Should the Conventions OF the Wing
and Democratic parties in May and June next,
nominate candidates worthy OF the confidence
of non-slaveholding freemen, we shall great
ly rejoice if not, we must act as BELTS mel
determined TO resist, by all constitutions
means, the extension of Slavery into terrific
ries hereafter required. We ask no man IL
leave his party, or surrender his party views
This call is signed indiscriminately by Wings
Democrats, and Liberty men. But we dr
ask every man who loves his country, TO b,
ready, if need be, to suspend, Tor a time, or
binary party contentious, and unite In on
manlul, earnest and victorious effort for tn
holy cause of Freedom and Free Labor.
Let us assemble in Convention, and con

Let all come who prefer Freedom TO Slavery

PLAIN SrEAKlNG-STnoNG LANGUAGE
4 recent No. of the " Clarion of Freedom"
contains an article on agitation, in which the
editor says,
"The agitation produced by Giddings,
Hale and Palfrey, are producing a revolution
in favor of liberty, more ~salutary than all that
has been done in the last year by the Liber-
ty press yet the press is capable of agitating
much more than they.
The course pursued by the Garrisonian pa
pers, in this respect, is much better than the
course of the Liberty party press; and they
would do much more good, were it not for
our milk and water example,"
We have long thought we could do more
against slavery, was not the Liberty party
press in the way; and here we have the con-
fession of an editor belonging to that party
that such is the fact, though we should add
that he promises to do better hereafter. Those
who can bear strong meat will sustain the
Disunion papers, those who prefer a 'miib
and water diet will seek it elsewhere.

CoNsISTENcY.-The New York Tribune
is distressed, because the Washington slaves
did not succeed in making their escape
Suppose Henry Clay's boys had been
among them-what would the Tribune have
said! The Tribune glorles over the French
Revolution. All right. But it is moving
earth and hell to elevate to the Presidency a
man who would be driven from half the cap
itals of Europe, because of his despotlc prin-
ciples. If Henry Clay's slaves should acI
on the same principles with the people Of
Paris, Vienna and Berlin, they would rise
tomorrow, and drive the old Ashlander on
of Kentucky, and if he resisted, they would
cut his throat. A pretty old tyfant, this, Il

FRIGHTFuL Loss.-A new enemy has APP
peared in Mexico-one whose power the A.
merican troops are unable to resist, whose in
sidious advances cannot be guarded against.
He comes not with the solid tread Of infant
ry, or the tramp of horsemen, no roll OF drums
announces his approach, no trumpet sounds
his charge. Silently and unseen his blows
are dealt, the burning fever seizes those upon
whom he lays his hot hand, and soon death
%stiffens the limbs of his victim, for who can
resist the terrible NoMIro!
1t is stated upon the authority Of General
Twiggs, that not less than a regiment dies in
a month; and the prospect is that the mortal
ity will even yet be more frightlul. But what
care the Shareholders and their allies Their
darling system is nourished by human blood
and human suffering.

INFLUENCE OF THE GOSPEL UPON SLAVES
1t is stated that in Liberty county, Georgia,
where a joint mission is carried on by the
Presbyterians and Baptists, among a popula-
ton of 4,2l2, one thousand one hundred and
thirty-nine (more than one-fourth, are mem
bers of some church, and are remarkably cor
rect in all their moral habits.
The writer of the above would have his
readers infer, that joining a church greatly
improves the moral condition of the slaves /;
how does it affect their civil and social rightsl
Is their right to freedom recognized when
they profess the religious faith of their mas
tiers, as it would be if they lived in a Mahom-
edam country Are they made free TO enjoy
life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness !
Is the marriage relation established between
them, and the forcible separation of families
prohibited Alas, no! They remain slaves
things, not persons, and as such exposed
to all the contingencies attendant upon chat
tel property. Their religious teachers who
administered to them the rite of baptism,
know that this is so, and that they have adj
mltteu INTO me cnuIch, men anu "oiloh WIN
live together without legal marriage, who are
made the unwilling victims of a pollution, Of
which white church members are by no means
guiltless.
Slavery is such an unnatural system, tina
no one who remains in bondage can possibly
enjoy a single right. Give him but one, anc
the door by which he may escape from his
prison house stands open. No slave can en-
Joy gospel freedom, for the will of the slave
holder, not the will of God, must be his guide
His religion c%Onfers upon him no privileges
he is no more free to serve his God after, thai
he was before his conversion. 1t makes hin
a more dutiful servant, a more docile animal
and enhances his market value, and that l
about all.

DelinquentS.

We were wondering the other day wheth-
er it would not be well to publish the names
of those subscribers who discontinue their
paper and refuse to settle their bills. AS the
Society has to pay the subscription accounts
of such, it seems no more than right that its
members should know whose bills they have
10 foot. If men are not ashamed TO take a
paper and defraud the publishers Of their pay,
they ought not to he ashamed to have the
publishers has become so generally prevalent,
that it calls loudly for abatement.
