Mr.. COLLAMER. Is it debatable to-day,

awaken no memories in our own country p
Have they forgotten the expulsion Of Hoar
and Hubbard from Charleston and New Or
leans, where they had been sent by Massa-
chusetts TO protect her own citizensl Need
we tell these noisy politicians that not a
month goes by but sees innocent American
citizens taken from their honest labor and
thrust into unhealthy prisons to lie weeks or
perhaps months, and often TO sicken and die,
not in Cuba, Ireland, or Austria, nor among
half-savage Malays or Algerines, but in cities
and ports Of the South ? These things are
not done secretly. The facts have been
%trumpeted to the world /; yet one might sup
pose that the unjust Imprisonment of Ameri-
cans was an unheard of occurrence, to hear
the hue and cry which are raised against the
British and Cuban governments. In this
case, moreover, our citizens have become so
notorious for impairment interference in the
civil affairs of other nations, that we are by
no means certain that they were not the ag-
gressors and those governments only acting
on the defensive. Whereas, in the case of
northern colored men imprisoned in southern
ports, they are suspected of no wrong they
are arrested while engaged in their lawful
and honest avocations, and subjected TO hard
ships and insults which humanity would not
infict on felons. May we hope that in their
zeal for the rights of American citizens, these
editors and Congressman will extend their
Investigations and sympathies TO Charleston
and Mobile and New Orleans, as well as
Dublin and Havana : or have they become
so accustomed to restraining out gnats and
swallowing camels," that they will continue
it by mere force Of habit? Or is it that Gu
ba and Britain have invaded the peculiar
privileges of the petty lords of the south. in
imprisoning and insulting the innocent, that
they are offenders? If so. heaven and earth
should be moved to punish them for while
honest northern laborers may he plundered
or thrown into filthy prisons with impuniiy,
woe TO the hand which touches the peculiar
g privileges " and - rights ~ of our southern
masters! 1t shall not always be thus, that
the oppressor shall be guarded in his crimes,
and the poor man be left unprotected. Truth
and justice are going on TO their triumph,
when manhood shall be sacred from wrong.

The District of Columbia and Slavery

The late movement in the House of Re-
personalities, in relation to slavery in the
District, has occasioned a vast deal Of excite
ment both North and South Of The Line"
The beginning of The matter was the reso-
luton offered by Mr.. Goti, of New York, in
slruciing The Committee on the District of
Columbia, to report a hill. - prohibiting the
slave trade in said District"
After a good deal Of angry discussion, this
resolution was adopted.
Mr.. Stewart, of Michigan, moved to recon-
slider. His motion was discussed day before
yesterday, and voted down.
The first practical step, on the part Of the
North. has, therefore. been iaken; and il on
~ remains for The hill 10 be introduced in
accordance with the instructions contained in
the resolution, 10 receive The sanction Of the
House Of Representatives of the United
States.
On Friday evening last, a meeting of the
Southern members of Congress took place.
But little is known of their proceedings, as
they excluded reporters, and deliberated in
- secret session."
Mr.. Btyly, of Virginia, introduced a series
of resolutions, insisting upon what is called
a "hrm maintenance of the constitutions
rights Of the South" and asserting the RICH
Of the Southern States to "resist," in such
manner as they may think proper, any uncon
stitutional action on the part of the genera
government. The resolutions also proposed
the appointment Of a committee to address
the people of the South, in regard to the pre-
sent rather precarious position of the "pecu
liar institution"
These resolutions wero not acted upon
but, on motion Of Mr.. Stephens, of Georgia
one of the eight Southern men who vote,
against Mr.. Clayton's compromise bill, wer
referred to a committee, consisting Of ON
member from each Slaveholding State. who's,
duty it should be to report TO an adjourned
meeting, to be held on the 18th of January
1919.
Mr.. Calhoun approved Of the resolutions

American Prisoners in Cuba & Ireland

American patriotism has been kindled into
quite a fame by the arrest and Imprisonment
OF an American citizen in Havana, on the
charge, we believe, of bringing certain Amer
lean papers there, which advocated the annex
alton of Cuba 10 the United States. We al
so see that a resolution has been offered in
Congress calling upon the President for in
formation relative to the imprisonment OF A.
mericans in Ireland by the British Govern
ment and the newspapers and political ora
tors, are spending not a little Indignation
against these ouirages upon The ~sanclily of
American citizenship, and demanding Of our
government TO protect The rights of our oili-
zens abroad. Is this the first time since the
war of 1912, that they have discovered that
American citizens were unjuslly seized and
imprisoned, either without suspicion of crime,

Bible Slavery.

We learn that Rev. Mr.. Lyon, a Presby-
terrain clergyman Of ST. Louis, is delivering
a course of sermons in that city TO prove that
slavery is a bible and Providence" lnsti-
tuition.
We take the liberty Of sending him a copy
Of the " Address to the Preshyterians of Ken
tncky," that he may see how depiorable is
the condition of his brethren here. and per-
chance take pity upon them and come 10 their
rescue. We assure him that a wide field for
labor is open before him, that a vast majority
Of his brothers are CROPPING in midnight dark
ness. So iIDpenetrable a veil has been thrown
over the countenance Of slavery, that they
have not the renolest conce ption Of its evan
gelic features. The thought has never entered
their minds. that its eye beams with gospel
love. that around its mouth plays a winning
smile Of spiritual affection, and that every
lineament Tt fleets the light of Heaven. IL
Mr.. Lyon does not hlsten hither and tear
away the veil, many of his brethren will go
to the grave in their deplorable ignorance and
dPlusion. Poor, pitiahle men! 10 spend
life in the presence of this institution, all the
while dreading deploring il as a curse, when
in fact, it is one of Heavens choicest bless.

is its real character hidden, that we experi-

Sabbath Dissertation.

We occasionally notice in the papers &C
counts of the proceedings of Sabbath meet
ings, at which measures were adopted TO pro-
mote the better observance Of that day, by
having the people abstain from all secular
employment and worldly pleasures. On such
occasions the running of stage coaches, steam
boats, rail cars, &C., are very emphatically
denounced, and those who thus violate the
Sabbath strongly censured.
This is all well; for every one who be-
lieves Sabbath work to be sinful, is as much
bound to prevent it so far as possible, as he
who belives slavery 10 be sinful is bound 10
labor for its overthrow. But then we like TO
see that rare jewel, Consistency; and as it
would lessen our confidence in a professed
abolitionist 10 hear him condemn the holders
of one or two slaves-lhe small fry aristocra-
cy Of the Souih-while such oppressors as
Henry Clay, James X. Polk, and Zachary
Taylor were suffered to go unmolested, so
does it lessen our respect for a Sabbatarian
TO hear him condemn Sabbath dissertation in
one class, while he wholly overlooks as
great, or a greater violation of The day by an
other.
Now it is a notorious fact that the Demo-
cratic members of the Ohio House of Repre-.
sentatives have heen in perpetual session
Sabbath after Sabbath; and who has condemn
ed them for it! What preacher has had the
boldness and fidelity 10 say to them, "Yea are
the men who desecrate the Sabbath, who dis
honor civil government by making it the vic.
lator of Gods government" We have moi
heard Of one who has thus spoken. 1t is
true, these men have been condemned as De.
mocrats, but not as Sabbath breakers; they
have been denounced, not for remaining in
session through the Sabbath, but for going
into session on Monday the way they did,
If there is a single clergyman throughout all
Ohio who has spoken of these Honorables as
Sabbath breakers in half as strong language
as the Wings have spoken OF them as viola.

Missionaries Needed.


If the love Of money be the root Of all evil,
as the preachers say, there is certainly great
need of missionary labors in the gold regions
OF California, where the sole spirit that actu-
ates the people is the love of gold. We
would therefore suggest TO those to those who
have cognizance of the spiritual good of man.
kind, that an expedition be fitted out without
delay, whose duty it shall be to preach TO the
gold diggers against their sinful course. II
Is true such missionaries would have much.
very much 10 bear-they would have 10 en-
dure great privations, and be Obliged to labor
among those who would be but little dispos-
ed to cease from their earth washinps to hear
preaching. Butseeing that California is now
a part Of this great republic, and that the peo-
pie who are focking there in crowds are ma
ny OF them christians whom the love of Mann
mon has for a little while drawn aside, it
does seem as though the American church
should not neglect their spiritual welfare
The love Of gold has induced thousands to
start for California, who have gone as sheep
without a shepherd, and it will be a blot up
on the character Of the American clergy if
they suffer these wanderers from their fold
to remain without spiritual aid and counsel.
II the love Of gold takes thousands of laymen
to California, surely the love of souls ought
to be sufficiently strong TO induce scores of
preachers 10 follow and labor with them.
And should it be urged that The love of Call
ifornia gold is not so Objectionable after all,
and may innocenlly be INDUCED in to a rea-
sonable extent. yet is it not still the duty of
the clergy to follow after their sheep and pre-
serve them from the prowling wolves. A
great part Of The adventures who 90 out from
this country, 60 on "their W hook ~ ,ho'
some, 1t appears, are organizing into compa-
MES, appointing officers, and framing and
adopting suitable rules and regulations.-
Now as the companies that went out to Cali
fornia a year or two since, for a worse pur-
pose than gold-digcing, had regularly ap-
pointed chaplains, whose duty it was not on
ly 10 preach 10 the men whom they ccom
MED, but TO pray for blessings upon their
deeds of blood would it not be as well 10
have a chaplain appointed TO each company
of gold diggers, who should every morning
crave a Divine blessing upon the labors of
the day. Would not asking a blessing upon
the gold diggers, pickaxes, spades, shovels
and sleeves, be quite as christian as attempt
ing to sanctify bomb-shells, cannon.balls,
swords and guns9

" There is a paper printed in Columbi-
ana county. in this State. which openly adj
vocares a dissolution Of the Union. The ed
itor is % joined to his idol-let him alone"
We wonder whether the "Ohio State
Journal in which we found The above item
of news, received the important intelligence
by express or telegraph. We have almost a
mind to bring out a somewhat similar an
n%ouncement, and inform our readers
o. There is a paper printed in Colum-
bus, in this State, which openly asserts the
fitness of Zachary Taylor for President of
this Union. The editor is "ioined 10 his.
idol-let him =" not alone"
We suspect some of the readers of the.
journal" were earlier, if moi better informed
than its editor in relation to the character OF
this paper, and on reading his old news will
scarcely be able to suppress a smile. Tho
editor will perhaps be astonished to learn
that the Bugle has ''openiy advocated a dis
solution of the Union for more than TIRES
years past, and was established for that very
purpose; that it is the organ of a Society
whose lecturers are now, and have been for
49,
years, holding meetings in various parts Of
the State, in which they "openIy" advocate
the same doctrine, showing that a political
union with the South was absurd in concep-
ton, sinful in principle, and ruinous and de-
grading in practice and that 1.-THE last ami
versary meeting of said Society, held in Sa-
lem, Columbian Co., five thousand persons
were in attendance, while Tom Corwin
could not gather more than five hundred att
the great Taylor rally at the same place!
Is the editor a lineal descendant of Rip.
Van Wrinkle, and has he been INDUCING in a
three years nap, that these things should all
be new to him; or has he been so engaged
in political controversy that he has taken no
note of the moral agitation which is spread
ing throughout the land ! And then, too, he,
appears surprised that we should "openly"
advocate a dissolution Of The Union. If We
do it, we do it openly. We have no fancy
for wire-working or intrigue such means we.
leave TO plotting politicians; and our opinion
is. that ere many years pass by, every man
in the \ orth, who has a soul worth being
proud of, will be as we are, an open Disu-
%nionist. But so thinks not the editor Of the
" Journal" and if he were not convinced
that it is better to let idolators perish in their
sins than strive 10 convert them, we would
invite him TO investigate our principles and
point out what he conceives TO be the error
of our position, and would pledge ourselves
10 demonstrate The truth of the Disunion doc
trine much more clearly than he can the fit
ness of Zachary Taylor to be President Of a
Christian, or a Republican people.

1.-The printer is in very disagree cable

to look forit His paper, his ink, his

ing must all be paid for. You, Mr.

you and your children and your neigh
bors, have been instructed and amused
by it.
If you miss one paper, you think very
hard of the printer-you would rather
go without your best meal than go to
bed deprived of your newspaper. Have
you complied with the terms Of your
subscription! Have you taken as much
pains to furnish the printer with his
money as he has to furnish you with
his paper! Have you paid him for his
hand work and his head work! II
you have not, go and pay him off.
