ing, unless they can make political capital
on, of it. When they remembered the present
state Of the political market, the Auctpation
of presidential stock, and the terrible uncer-
tainty as 10 which party should secure the
loayes and fishes for which they are contend
ing, they were unwilling TO look the matter
in the face like bold men, and instead OF
adopting the preamble and resolution, and
Amounting a committee Of investigation, they
coward like decided by a vote Of 81 TO 50 TO-
lay them upon the table-SerCntten members
from the free States voting for it. And yet,
when aboliiioBists call the United States 60
vernment a p%iratical government, the people
tell Them they use harsh language. Had A
merican citizens been guilty of the same acts
upon the coast of Africa which il is alledged
were committed in the Capital of America,
the laws of this country would have doomed
them TO the death OF nlTates; anu "hen We
declare that the government which legalizes
such deeds on this side OF the ocean, is a pi-
ratical government, we are but applying to
home traders in men, the principle it applies
to foreign slave-dealers.
We hope that Giddings will not let the
matter rest where Congress has put 1t, but
will improve all possible opportunities TO
bring it before them again and again, and try
to inluse into some of its members as much
love for freedom as he has himself; or II I'M

Celebration at LeCSville.

A few words in reference to the celebration
Of the Sons and Daughters of Freedom at
Leesville, will not be uninteresting 10 the
friends of the enslaved.
The day was uncommonly wet and the
roads very bad. Notwithstanding this, the
church was filled at an early hour, persons
coming through mud and rain for many miles
around. The meeting was very much larger
than any expected, and a more satisfactory
one has never been held.
The house was beautifully adorned with
evergreens, Brought perhaps 30 miles. These
were SO arranged as to admit the setting Of
four tables behind them, separate from the
congregation; also an interspersing of a large
variety of mottos and transparencies elnbo-
dying all the radical reforms of the age, such
as Temperance, ~Anti-Slavery, Peace, Wo-
mans Rights, Universal Brotherhood, Free
Soil, Anti Capital Punishment, &c. The
walls were adorned with mottos, wreaths,
and portraits of leading reformers. One
which seemed to claim special attention was
a picture of Henry Clay and John c. Calhoun
standing with their feet on the heart Of a slave,
while over it was placed, in large colored let
tiers, "No Union with Slaveholdels," and
beneath, " Liberty or Death" At night all
the mottoS and transparencies were illumi-
mated and presented a most beautiful and i'm
posing argument for Humanity. | suppose
between two and :hree hundred partook of
the dinner, freely provided for all. 1t was
good to see how sectarianisn gave way be-
fore the influence of Turkey and chicken!
The singing from a choir of thirty or forty
was very efficient. Speeches were made du-
ring the day by Messrs. Selby, Jenkins and
Walker, who seemed to be fully in the work.
On the following evening another meeting
was held, and addresses delivered by Messrs.
Selby, Price, Millersack, De Rhodes, Knight
and Walker.
1t was a glorious time for Humanity. |
wish all your readers with yourselves, friends
Editors, could have been there. The Priests
and Levites had been abusing and belleing
the association all around, which brought ma
ny to hear that were convinced. | would

is not necessary.
The association now numbers near forty
members, and meets every Monday evening

TO those Owing Pledges.

There is on the books Of the Western So
ciety IA list of pledges made since the first of
June last amounting to about one thousand
dollars.
The Executive Committee is greatly in
need of funds. Will not those owing pledg-
es forward them? If those who have pledg-
ed considerable sums, cannot at present con-
veniently pay the whole amount, they will
please forward a part, and thus relieve the
Committee from its present necessities.

Oar Heroes.
Adieu-In haste, &c

There is heroism $50 considered generally,
and so it is in fact in bearing up with strong
nerve as storms burst over us. In such ca
ses we look and admire, and the world hears
and applauds. The sudden shock calls forth
at once all the latent force of character which
is needed TO make a hero. We do and act
with an energy that astonishes even our
selves.
There is heroism in Drawing danger for
Others sakes. There are daring ones who
have rushed into flames, amongst falling bull
dings to rescue their fellows from a horrid
death. Others have breasted the surging
waves to save a wretch from drowning.-
These are herOes, great ones, and their names
are sounded abroad, and the land re-echoes
in their praise.
He is a hero, who dares to brave public
opinion on some moral question, where he
thinks the whole nation greatly shining
All will fTown upon him-for a time he is
an object for Kisses and execration. He is
forsaken by dear friends, -becomes a bye
word and a reproach. But he continues
firm in the right, knowing that "Iruh viil
prerail." He feels urged onward by perse.
cution and struggles and battles with the
heart-he, is a great hero.
lie is a hero, who, in face Of law and death
penalties, of gags, of prisons, of chains, o
lynching, of all that man can bring to intim
r idate and fdghten man, will yet venture t,
snatch a brother from destruction; from
bondage far more dreadful than death-tha

, fcult situation "as he would be done by."-
lie is indeed a hero.
These are all great heroes, but how unlik

cited him has ceased to operate. Or his fl

The benevolent daring which we so nut

was not a little surprised to see in the
Bugle of the 18th inst, a resolution of the
Free-Will BapIists, and accompanying re-
marks by Vincent Trego. What could have

in an "infdel paper" as they term the Bu-
gle, | am at a loss 10 know. Surely they
did not think that those acquainted with their
actions in this place, would be more likely to
believe them a "society of Reformers," by
thus publishing their belief. 1t is practice

of a church votes that neither Anti. Slavery
nor Temperance meetings shall be held in its

%IIumanity'S Triumph over SectarianiSm

1t is Sunday, and a drizzling rain is fall
ing. The members of the various religious
sects are gathering to their meeting-houses-
here are a dozen or more who are vending
their way to the Presbyterian church, yonder
goes the carriage of a Hicksite Quaker, there
hastens the Methodist who seems TO fear that
he is late, the Daptists are assembling in their
meeting houses, and the Orthodox Quakers
have doubtless gathered in the quiet ere this.
There come two men at full speed down the
streei-what can be the matter! Hark they
are calling, what say they! Fire! fire!
tirer' And sure enough there is fire, for yon-
der issues a dense volume of smoke, and see!
flashes of flame are mingled with it. We
wish we were well enough TO render Some
aid to arrestit progress, but as we have been
on the sick list for the last week, we suppose
we must not venture out. We can however,
sit at the window and watch its progress
How unfortunate the fire burst out in church
time! The men, and the women too, are
nearly all engaged in worshipping God, and
they hardly will be so anti-christian as tc
leave the house Of prayer, to i-reverently for
sake the altar of religion in order TO cxtin'
guish the flames of a burning building. /;

LUTON, If any thing be true of it, this is en-
phaticaLy SO. Il.
p. S. Since writing the within there has
been a uhipPtng, the recital Of which is to
the most painful. The city authorities of
NJ have a "Calaboose,'' which is to the
slave an lnquisition, and the keepers are In
quisitors. Any slave or colored free man, if
found out of his quarters at night, is liable
to be thrust into it; and when once in he
has a bill Of cost to pay before coming out.
On last night, January 18th, a man was ac-
cusel of stealing he was soon hurried away
to this Inquisition. BY the way, a people
who lice by plundering the poor slave by
wholesale, are very fearful that the 'Niggers'

vengeance is melted on, to any who are found
guilty. If this people d~espised the devil as
they do the blacks, | doubt not but that they
would be much better than they are. Were

of tying their hands and raising them nearly

h right foot, TO them were fastened his other
thumb, then his remaining great toe his

his body naked by the use of a pole three

feet long, which he held by the middle, APP
piled it to his naked body while suspended

confession from the man.
You could have heard the shrieks and
