would appear, should a slave present him
self in the General Assembly as an APP
pellant or complainant against some
wrong inflicted upon him, by one assum.
ing 10 himself the dignifed title of mas
ter!
4. The action of some Of the former
Assemblies, instead of benefting the
slave, it is feared has given relief TO the
consciences Of Shareholders, which had
already began TO cry out in thunder tones
against their wrong in holding in bondage
beings whom God created in his own like
ness, and whom Jesus embraced 10 his
warmest %svmpathics and love. While
this action is giving relief to some minds,
1t Is driving many others to seperate
themselves from the Church that was
once dear TO their hearts.
b. P~reSbyteries cannot give or adopt
means for imparting religious instruction
to the slave, since under the dispcnsaiion
OF grace, as we are taught by the exam
Pile Of the Son of God, there must be an
expression of kindness that will make
every sacrifice before the truth can be re-
ccivcd In love, and become the power oil
God unto salvation. There is no kind.
ness in theacts Of man 10 his lcIlow.man
unless the right of self ownership is frs,
recognized. This being the first and
great demand Of the law Of love and
c~ommon-scnse justice.
&. There does not appear to be in the
General Assembly us expressed by the
report, that sense Of the magnitude oil
the evil Of slavery, which the nature oil
the case would seem to warrant. 1t is
thought to be a privilege granted with re-
luctance, to ONE few to look at the sub
lect at all, and speak their sentiments
upon ii, and not to be the duty of all to
lake up the subject, and give to it that de-
gree of earnest and pruycr(ul attention
which il is-receiving at the hands Of eve.
ny other ecclesiastical organization and
every form of civil policy, where chris
tianity has %quickencd their scnsibiIi les
and affected their legislation.

The Overflow at NGW.0rleanS.

The water in the rear of the city is still ad-
vanclng toward the river. During the TWEEN
ty-tour hours ending about 9 o'clock last eve
ming, there was a rise of three TO four inches,
and from the time the rise commenced on
Sunday morning, 10 4 o'clock yesterday, a
water gnage showed a rise Of % inches
This depth of water rapidly spreads over a
surface as nearly level as the ground upon
which New Otleans is built, and the iuunda-
ton, in The district north of the New Canal,
has penetrated far beyond the centre Of the
city. All the streets. from the canal to Com
mon-st., are completely covered, as low as
Circus-st., and some Of them are nearly so as
far as Phillippa-st. Common and Canal sis.
are almost ndvigable to Carondelet-st aud be.
low Canal, as far as Louis.st. the inundatior
extends very nearly to Bourbon-st. Beyond
that, the ground being high, the Good i;
bounded by a line from the Intersection o
St. Louis and Dauphin SITS. to the Old Basin
and below, is entirely free of water. Gu
citizens need scarcely be told that the greh
and rapid rise which has taken place in tn,
last few days, increases the number Of suffer
ers in the rear Of the city, and adds vastly t.
the losses and distress of those who were al
ready victims Of The calamity. ~. o. Delta,

The SGuue CreraSse.-Wc visited The Gre
vase yesterday afternoon, and we must say
that the appearance Of things there ~bespeak
anything but a speedy prospect of stopping
the breach. The force at work seemed sin
Z lIal'y small, when We take into considera-
tiuI TIE vast interests at stake, and the terri
BILE suffering and loss that every hour the
Crevasse remains open, entails on the whole
CITY,. D. Delta.
Bec0re IF Snahes.-The overflow has
brought large numbers OF snakes and other
reptiles from the swamp up into the streets
C6hger Snakes, the most venomous known
in this country, have been seen in the water
in several places within The last few days,
and we learned from good authority last eve
ming that a little girl, while wading in the
water in faubourg Irene, on Saturday last,
was bitten by something which she did no,
see, and died in a few hours a(icrward.--N.

upon the doctrine that all men are equal and
have an inalienable right 10 liberty. War
against monopolies is the avowed mission OF
the latter, and the former assumes the pro-
tectorship of home MISUNDERSTANDING to be
the guardian Of American labor. Slavery is
a monopoly-Slavery is a war upon the rights
of the American laborer but Whiggery and
Democracy are the allies Of slavery 1; allies,
without whose timely aid it would have long
since fallen forever. These parties trample
upon The doctrine they profess 10 honor;
they go in among the people, whose rights
they pretend to so highly regard, lay hards
upon every sixth man, woman, and child,
and dispose Of them to the highest bidder.
These two political organizations are so near
ly balanced, that for either to throw itself
into the anti slavery movement would en-
sure its own destruction and it is for this
reason the Wings and Democrats are not
with us-because their practice is the oppo-
site Of our practice, because they tolerate
slavery and we oppose it, because they honor
SldN0llOlutlSy olh w dbiO NhN'h1 NShuoN
they love party better than principles, sue
cess better than truth, General Taylor and
General Cass better than he who created aud
s~ustains the Universe.
Why are not the Free Sellers with US =
They talk loudly of the curse of slavery, and
the blessings that the free labor Of free men,
plants upon free soil. Why are they not
with US? Why do not they throw them
selves-body, soul, and spirit-into the great
movement OF the age, and strive to make the
nations soil ard laborers all free2 Because
they are pledged TO act within constitutional
limits, because their object is not to e~xtirpate
but %confne slavery within the present United
States, because they are willing 10 have sew
enty thousand victims sacrificed every year
if they can only prevent an increase in the
number, because they swear by the great |
AM that they will return the fugitive slave TO
his master, and shoot down the rebellious
bondman, because they adhere to the Consti-
tuition, and through it, give to slavery " SOL
emn guarantees" that they will sustain her
authority.
These are some Of the reasons why the
people are not with us-why they choose
rather to obey tie requirements, and achnow-
ledge as r%iginfuI, the authority of a pro-
slavery Church and State-why they prefer
false Expediency to unchanging Right, the
favor of man to the approval of God. But
though the people are not with US, we know
that the spirits of just men made perfect are
with us, that all the holy angels are with US,
that the excellent Of the earth are with us,
and that the better nature of man is with us D.;
and we feel that that nature will eventually
triumph over the baser passions, bringing the
soul into harmony with the Divine Spirit Of
Love which pervades all space, and then
The PEOPLE WILL. BE WITH US.
