Adherence TO the Compromised

The Free Democracy alias the Free
Sellers Of Wisconsin, at a State Convention,
held a few days since, passed the following
resolution:
Resolved, That whik TOE wiH Faithfully
adhere 10 oil the compromises of The Constiiu-
ton, and maintain all the reserved rights Of
the States, we declare, since the crisis has ar
rived when the question must be met, our un-
compromising hostility to the extension Of
slavery into any Territory of the United
States.
This san resolution had been adopted by
the representatives of the party twice before,
and was ~solemnly and deliberately reiterated at
the Convention above alluded to. What is
meant by the compromises of the Constitu-
ton! Will any one pretend TO doubt that
The Convention refers to those clauses which
Disunionists quote to prove the instrument
pro.slaveryl or course not. The resolu-
ton, therefore, is a solemn pledge, thrice re-
peated, to support Slavery where itnow exists,
by permitting the stakeholder to capture his
slave without molestation in all the Free
States, and 10 aid in putting down the slaves
if they attempt to obtain their libasty by
force! The men who thus surrender the
v~hole t~e..isa-y &c aha NaIhArsaAdA iing
ground for the menstealers of the South have
the face to call themselves the friends of Free
Soil.
The Free Democracy of Wisconsin do
not stand alone in this matter. The whole
Free Soil party occupies the same platform
and is involved in the same guilt. Some Of
the advocates of the party hereabouts, howe
yer, instead of manfully avowing their true
position, are constantly playing fast and
loose'-at one moment admitting the exist.
ence of the compromises and the next hob.
bling off on Lysander Spooner's broken crutch.
Their logic,
"ConGicting cruelty against itself,
By its own hand it falls, part staying part"
Why do they not either admit or deny the
existence of the compromises and fairly
abide the result Of their principlesl Why
| this constant evasion and unworthy shutting!

The Popular Pitty of Salem

A friend assures us-incrtdible as it may
seem-that The following resolution was re-

done much injury to the Church, therefore
Resolved, That If any member q this
Church 96ers a resolution or motion IN tfsJa-
vorl IL shall be the duty Of The Church Clerk 10
erase his name from The Church book."
This resolution was not only offered, but
discussed, and not only discussed but almost
adopted-there having been only one MAORI
ty against it! Most of the majority probably
were a. heart in favor of it, only they thought
it not expedient to go quite so far. The mo-
yer of the resolution, we are,iold, declared
that he acted under the advice Of Baptist
clergymen! At a meeting Of this SAM
Church within the last three months, a mem

Of Abolition and Temperance came from hell,
and at the close Of his speech offered a pray.
er tina, the Church might be delivered from
them. And yet this Church dares to take up
on its polluted lips the name Of JESUS, and
carefully guards its communion table from
the approach Of all who have not been cere-
monially immersed in water! 1t holds its

1t is for tearing the mask of hypocrisy from
churches like this that the Abolitionists have
been denounced all over the land, by '~recreant
priest and lynch committee as infdels and
disorganizers.
The Second Baptist Church, though not so
deep in its deflement, yet closes its meeting
house against the Agents and friends of the
American and Western Anti-Slavery Socie-
cites. In this Church Free Sellers bear
sway, and they treat genuine Abolitionists as
they are themselves treated by pro-slavery
Democrats and Wigs. They are wiling
that we should denounce the old parties for
their pro.slavery acts, but they shrink from
the exposure of their own inconsistency and
sin in sustaining a pro-slavery Constitution
and Government. Like the Shareholders,
they cannot bear the light of free discussion,
and will not admit US to their Westinghouse
unless with a gag in our mouths.
We will add also, that the Presbyterian
and Orthodox Quaker meeting-houses are al
SO sealed against the advocates of the slave,
while the Hicksite house cannot be had
all, without a good deal of grumbling on the
part of son members Of the Society.
And yet Salem is a very religious place,
and held in reputation for the quality Of its
piety!

The Cuba Plot.

1t appears to be the general opinion of the
press that the scheme for revoluiionizing Gu
ba, with a view 10 its annexation to the Uni
on as Slave State, has been effectually bro
ken up by The U. S. authorities. For our
selves we believe no such thing. In fact we
have very little confidence in the sincerity of
the administration in respect TO this or any
other matter relating 10 Slavery, and we
should not wonder if. under cover Of the dust
created by these official movements, the con-
s~pirators should succeed all the better in exc
cutting their plans.
Reports have reached New Orleans that
the work of Revolution has already commen
ced on the island, but they are not properly
confirmed. The Governor General is prepa-
ring TO resist an attack, and his movements
have probably given rise to the rumors.-
One thing is certain the Slave Power Of this
country is determined 10 clutch Cuba, and,
sooner or later, unless the North dissolves
The Union, the deed will be done.

was inhumanly murdered in his bed. at his
residence, opposite Mt. Vernon, on the night
Of the goth inst, by one Of his Negroes. 1t

that If his master sold his wife, he would kill

Calvin Fairbank.

A somewhat incoherent epistle from this
gentleman appears in the last Standard. He
says that his release from the Kentucky PEN
i%tentiary has been effected with satisfaction
10 people who would have complained of il
bitterly three years ago, though it is feared
by some that Governor Crittenden will incsr
censure for pardoning him. He says that, in
1914, an Infatuated mob, if il could have had
its way, would have hung him en- the first
tree. The change in public opinion is very
great. He says he will not repeat the offence
for which he was imprisoned.
1t ought to be stated in this connection
that Mr.. Fairbank yves his pardon to LsWis
Hayden, the man whom he aided to escape
from Slavery. The Gov. offered the pardon
on condition that Mr.. Hayden's master would
sign a petition on behalf Of the prisoner, and
this the master offered TO do for $3.50, which
Mr.. II. raised in the course of sixty days,
chiefly in Massachusetts.

CONNECTION IN MARYLAND.-There is a
great commotion among the slave-owners Of
Maryland, in consequence of the large nun.
Der of slaves who have seen proper 10 take
"French ~leave'' Of their masters, and emf
CRATE into free States. Every paper publish
ed in the counties comes teeming full of ad-
vertisements offering rewards for runaways,
and editorial notices Of the absconding Of
whole gangs and families of slaves, who are
seldom ever caught. and only heard of when
safe far north Of Mason & Dixon's line. So
great has been the loss to planters on the
Eastern Shore counties of the State, that the
owners Of the slaves are proposing TO con-
struct a line Of telegraph through the center
Of the counties, for the purpose of giving ear
ly information to police agents Of the flight Of
tbeiS property, and thus aid in their detection.
1 know Of several instances, that have occur
red lately, of gangs of slaves having run
away in one night, and successfully got off,
whose value would be from $5, 900 10 SIS, 900.
The facilities are so great for the poor slaves
TO get away, that they run but little risk Of
late in making the attempt. They lose moth
ing by the effort to obtain their freedom, for
if caught, and sold again 10 sugar and cotton
planters, they merely make an exchange OF
masters.-Bah. Cor. NJ. Y. Trib.

More Chirahy.

The Charleston Mercury, Of the goth ult,
contains the official accounts of two meetings
of citizens Of st. Peters Parish, South Car
olina, held at Lawtonville, the first, on Feb
ruary 8, ls4S, and the other August 10, 1919.
1t seems that the Rev. w. II. Brisbane, a
native Of that place, having some years pre-
viously become convinced Of the sinfulness
Of slavery, not only liberated his slaves, but
had the auJacity 10 pray that universal liber-
" might prevail. The blood Of the chiv-
airy" boiled, Of course; an indignation 'meet-
ing was called, to devise some plan 10 get
rid Of so unprincipled a parsonage" the re-
suit Of which was Gas the Mercury tells us)
the appointment OF a Committee of FIVE,
(''Hop. Mr.. Smart and others,") to "request'
Mr.. Brisbane to leave the State in forty-eight
hours, or abide the consequences The
Consequences" which generally follow such
a request at the South, If it be unheeded, no
doubt had their due effect on Mr.. Brisbane,
and he left Immediately, and settled in Ohio.
Afterwards, it seems, DR.. Il. A. Mathews, a
near relative Of DR.. Brisbane, had occasion TO
say few words in favor of Mr.. b., when
another ''indignation" meeting was called,
which the DR.. NJ, was requested 10 attend,
when he was accused of having written an
account of the former meeting, and of send
ing it for publication in the North. DR..
Mathews acknowledged the fact of having
written the account, hut stated that additions
had been made TO it by the Cincinnati editor
who published il, and for which he contend
ed he was not responsible. He further sta
ted, that he was of revolutionary blood, but
never an Abolitionists, whom he "scorned
and detested." Having thus freed his bo-
som from all "peTilous stuff" the DR.. was
permitted to depart unlynched.

LONDON, England, June "a, le49.
Dear Sir. I witnessed an incident a few
days ago which ] have no doubt will be in

Slavery. He could not tell his age, but |
should think he was Is. He had been the

He attempted to fly from Slavery about two
years since, and was overtaken, received one
hundred and sirty idShes, and wore an iron
collar six months. His next opportunity &C.
Cured to get on board Of an English vessel.
After they had been out three weeks, he was
discovered in the hatchway where he was
concealed. The Captain appeared TO be en-
ragged; he ordered a sand bag to be tied to his
feet, and said he would throw him overheard !;
that freak over, he ordered him 10 be tied up,
saying he would fog him. When all was
ready, he went TO him. looked at his back,
and said, "WeH, I don't see any place LEFT 10
fog" When he arrived at Liverpool, he or
dered him 10 be kept concealed until night,
and then he gave MIN a suit Of clothes, four
shillings in money, and started him for Lon
don. He came TO London and presented

then sitting in Court; he gave him some mo-
ney out of the poor-box, and ordered lodgings
to be provided for him. The next day he
was brought 10 the Anti-Slavery Office, and
will go from here TO one Of the British islands.
One fact in this case has struck me with
great force--I may say alarming force--that

Number IF Shareholder. -Don't fail to read
the article under this head on the First Page.
We believe it is from the careful and accurate
pen of Hon. William Jay. 1t shows clearly
that the number Of Shareholders has been
greatly exaggerated even by Abolitionis,s.-
Instead of S $1,000, their real number cannot
be greater than lis, COOLIES than half The

2. Here is just where our correspondent
runs off the track. He absurdly concludes
that, because we affirm that the present gov
TN is inherently and fundamentally
pro-slavery, we are, as a Society, bound 10
prescribe the precise methods by which il is
to be superseded-to show in detail how a
neto government should be instituted. We
deny that this is the appropriate business of
Anti-Slavery Societies. We might az rea-
sonably be asked, when we call upon men to
come out Of a pro-slavery Presbyterian or
Methodist Church, TO instruct them In all the
details Of organizing a new one. The Anti
Slavery Societies are not political, but moral
and philanthropic associations. They invite
the cooperation Of men holding every variety
and shade of opinion on the subject Of gov.
eminent per Sc. They do not affirm that gov
nment Of force are either right or wrong ;
they are only agreed in declaring that no gov
m can be right which upholds slavery,
and must Of necessity leave the work of or
ganiEing a new government 10 other ~associa-
tons formed for the purpose. Depend upon
it, such associations wiH be formed whenever
the people are fairly reused TO a sense of their
guilt in sustaining the present bloody CON-
pact with Shareholders. To expose that guilt,
to scatter wide the seeds Of Truth and Liber-
ty-that and that only is the business of the
Anti-Slavery Societies. Is not this plainl
8. How can Slavery be abolished in the
States by the operation OF a Constitution
which confers no power over il! And how
absurd TO rely upon a political party organi.
Eed under such a Constitution TO do what it
confesses i, has no power to accomplish!
9. No way, in other words, 10 prevent the
ertension OF slavery but to support it where it
already exists! Why do they not, if they
are honest men and true friends to Freedom,
at once repudia,e a Constitution which thus
links them 10 oppression and cuts the very
ham-strings of all political action in favor of
the slave

vince an honest man of the prac,icability Of
ceasing TO do evil, of refusing to remain in
governmental alliance with men.siealers and
to aid them in their villanyl
IL. Our friend should not take for granted
the truth Of accusations not yet proved.
10. We are told that Ab~olitionists are
. fanatics,' 'inhdels,' sc. The people Of Ju-
dea were : told that Christ had a devil, shat
he was a 'blasphemer,' &C.. I'VE are told
a great many things which it would be hard
ly safe to believe without evidence,

can be proved. II is doubtless one Of the
thousand faIsehoods by which a 5ecseanl
Church seeks to hide her guilt.
If our correspondent wishes to pursue
this subject farther, let him speak his mind
freely. We shall always be happy to receive
his contributions, whether on this or any 9th

him for affording US an opportunity to explain
the position of our Society in relation to plaza.

Several Southern papers have been ter

Slavery. The immediate source of alarm is
a tale, in process Of publication, entitled

Slave, into whose mouth the author puts sen.
timents which the Southern hot.spurs deem
incendiary, and the Fredesicksburgh Record
