Interesting Incident.

-
The Salem (Mass.) Register relates the fol-
lowing story of a poor but benevolent colored
woman, who, although her wages never amount
cd to more than a dollar a week, contributed
500 per year to the American Board of Foreign
Missions. The money was appropriated to the
support of a natiyc female scholar, at the Mis-
sion School at Oodooville, Bombay, to whom
was given the name of Maria Peabody. This
girl married a native preacher connected with
the mission, and is remarkably intelligent and
useful, so much so that Rev. DIR. Poor, one of
the missionaries at that station, now in this
country, determined, if possible, to find out to
whom the mission was indebted for her support
and education. Hearing that there was ct Han
over, n. H., a woman named Maria Peabody,
the widow of Professor Peabody, ho naturally
concluded that she must be the bencfactor who
had given her name to the Heather girl. He
went to see her, but she informed him that the
donor was a colored servant girl, by the namo
of Lucy Osborn, who had formerly lived in her
family, but had removed to Lowell. DR.. Poor
determined not to give up the search-accord-
ingly happening to be in Lowell a few Sabbaths
since, at the close of the evening service he re-
qucsted information as to the residence of Lucy
Osborn, if any one present was able to give any,
that he might have the pleasure of calling upon
her, and personally expressing his gratitude for
her bcnevolonce. Before leaving the house,
however, a colorcd female was seen pressing her
way towards him, from, the back part fthe house,
and on her approach she was introduced to DIR.
Poor as Lucy Osborn. The DIR. had an inter-
csting conversation with her, and found her to
be a truly humble and devoted Christian.
DR.. Poor related this story at the late Mis-
sionary Anniversary at Pittstiold, whore it pro-
duced a thrilling sensation, and one gentleman
contributed 800 to constitute the colored wo-
man an honorary member of the American
Board of Commissioner for Foreign Missions.
We should have supposed that an incident like
this would shame that Board out Of its guilty
connivancc at the degradation and enslavement
of the people of color; but no such effect ap-
pears to have been produced, Lucy Osborn,
! when she advanced to meet DIR. Poor, came
from tie back part Of tho house-probably from
tianity banishcs her; and the principal mem
ber5 Of the very body which received her money
into its treasury are probably doing all in their
power TO Danish her, together with all who bear
the same color, to the inhospitable shores of Az
RIGA! 1t is a pity that a woman 50 benevolent
is also not intelligent enough to find worthicr
almoners Of her bounty.

Proceedings Of the Western Peace Society.

Agreeable to previous announcement, the
Western Peace Society met at Rootstown on
Saturday, October 18th, at 2 O'Clock, P. NJ
The President being absent the meeting was
called to order by Lewis Morgan, Vice Prcsi-
dent.
On motion, a committee of five was appointed
to nominate officers for the ensuing year.
After some remarks, IL. c.. Wright presented
the following resolutions for discussit IL, which
were accepted:
WHEREAS, God works out all his purposes
touching human beings by fixed laws, and new
CT by direct interpretations and
WHEREAS, No arbitrary commands, given in
dreams, visions, immediate revelations or inspi-
%rations, can be of any authority if opposed to
the laws of our being written by God on our
physical, social and moral constitution and
WHEREAS, 1t is a violation of the constitu-
tional law of human nature for man to take tho
life of man and
WHEREAS, The right to kill mon is an essen
tial element of all war; therefore,,
Resolved, That no being in the universe is
competent to impose on us an obligation to
wage war against our fellow creatures and de-
stroy human life and it is our duty to deny the
authority of any command, from whomsoeveri it
may come, which would impose upon us an OBJ
legation to perpetrate these unnatural deeds.
Resolved, That fidelity to the immutable re-
lations and duties of man to man, demands that
we should deny the existence and scorn the
worship of any being, as God, who ever did or
ever can sanction war or authorize the destruc-
ton of human life at the land of man, for any
cause.
III. c. Wright, Jared Smalley, John Smith,
Samuel Brooke and Truman Case participated
in the discussion. Adjourned.
SUNDAY MORNING, 9 o'clock.
The Society was called to order, and on mo-
ton of T.. Case, it was voted to adjourn at IA
TO 4. No business being before the Society, the
discussion was Immediately commenced by H.
c.. Wright, who was followed byJ w. Walker,
Parker Pillsbury and Truman Case.
Adjourned at II o'clock for an hour.
AT o'clock the Nominating Committee pre-
scented their report, and the persons nominated
were elected, as follows:
President-WILLIAM STEDMAN.
Vice Presideats-CALEB GREEN, JANE PAX
TON.
Rec. Secretary-Thomas Wickersham.
Cor. Secretary-John NTH
Ireasurer-L. D.. Smalley.
C0i1seAors-Marius Robinson, Harvey Case,
Lewis Morgan, Ann Clark, Ann Eliza Lee.

Pillsbury engrossed the attention of the audi
ence for a time, and all were undoubtedly pro-
fitted as well as interested. Ann Clark, H. c.
Wright and others occupied the remainder of
the afternoon. The discussion throughout was
solemn and interesting, and the resolutions
were adopted by a unanimous vote.
Tn Convention then adjourned.

The Cross of Anti Slavery.

1t is a habit among certain classes of society
enthusiasts, or fanatics, whose testimonies
against popular iniquity cost them no sacrifice
of time, money, or reputation, and require but a
small amount of courage, and still less of care
full thought and deliberation. Rev. DIR. Pea
body, in the Christian Examiner, not long since,
uttered such sneers. He was replied to by Rev.
DR.. Bellows, of New York, Editor of the Chris
tan Inquirer, who candidly says:
We do not agree with the writer in the esti-
mate he forms of direct Anti Slavery agitation
here at the North. He does not do justice to
the influence which the Abolitionists proper
have exerted upon the great bulk of eonseroa-
tire feeling at the North, and through that upon
the Anti Slavery feeling at the South. That
Mr.. Clay's letter, or Mr.. Benton's course in re-
gard to Slavery, are any more important than
Thomas Jefferson's and Randolph's old and
strong expressions of sentiment against Slavery,
is owing to the fact that the whole heart, mind
and conscience of the people oft United States
has been stirred up, and made wakeful and anx-
ious on the subject by the Abolitionists. What
Mr.. Clay and Benton say now, means a hun
dred times more than it would were there no
such ~agitators as the ultra Abolitionists, no such
cause as lmIneulate emancipation. 1t was per-
fectly easy to denounce Slavery as Jefferson did,
at a period when the institution was in no dam
ger. 1t meant about as much as a ~reigning
beauty's TRADE against the tyranny of fashion,
which she so beautifully obeys and so eloquent
ly assails. 1t does amaze us that wise and can
did men here at the North cannot do Justice to
the labcrs and services of the Abolitionssts-and
is it honest to say that their course has cost
them no sacrifices, because it has not cost them
their lives at the hands of the enraged planters:
Did it cost DIR. Claiming no sacrifices to be as
moderate an Abolitionist as he was Has it
cost Garrison and Phillips no sacrifcosi Their
very names are a stencil in the nostrils of thou
sands not worthy to loose the latchet of their
shoes. We are slightly impatient when the
present writer speaks with something very lie

We suspect that DIR. Channing's speech in Fam
euil Hall on a certain occasion was not the work
OF a " gentleman at ease and that one dav II
will be recognized that, to be read out of ali So
cial sympathy and public confidence, is NOT n
pleasant diversion for any class of public sneak
ers who have ever known what it is to possess

Thus, in the opinion of one Of the FIRST states
Ministers Behind the Politicians.

Rev. J. p. Thompson, Pastor of the Tabcrna-
Gle Church, New York, dropped a remark at
the late meeting of the General (Clerical) As
ISOLATION of New Hampshire, to the effect ''that
the time had already arrived, when almost erery
politician was declaring against the institution
of slavery and its extension, ana he trusted the
time was at hand when ministers and missioRa-
ries would be fully up to the same standard."-
The fact here confessed, that politicians are in
advance Of the clergy in speaking against slave
ry, no one will deny for while the latter are al
ways taxing their ingenuity to avoid the sub
ject in their convocations, hardly a political
Convention is ever held in the Free States that
does not protest, in words at least, against the
abomination. But what shall we say of men
claiming to be Gods ambassadors and demand
ing our respect and veneration on that account,
whose standard of morals in reference to such
an institution as human slavery is below that of
%partizan politicians? What is the character of
those c~lergymen, of whom, at this noon of the
nineteenth century, the best that even one of
their own friends can say is, that he trusts the
time is at hand ,ehen they piR do as ,oeH as the

At length Doctor Stanton rose, and in q
very feeling manner stated that he saw no
way to prevent the Society from
being broken and scattered, unless some con-
c~cssions were made by both sides; he thought
if we would only read the epistles, we might
then pass to other business. and the party in
favor of them would not insist on their being
answered. His views were corroborated by
several elderly Friends on the conservative
side, and they entreated those who objected,
to submit for peace sake, in order that the
meeting might proceed. Nearly all who had
been opposed to the reading submitted to the
proposition-the documents were read, no
minute made concerning them, and the meet
ing adjourned to Fifth day att o'clock.
In the forenoon of 9th day a meeting for
worship was held. In the afternoon the
meeting for discipline again met, and without
any difficulty proceeded with the usual BUSH
ness. 1t was concluded without a dissenting
voice that the meeting was not prepared to
continue its epistolary correspondence this
year, and the Clerk was requested TO inform
the Meetings with which Ohio Yearly Meet
ing corresponds that way did not open to an
swer their epistles. The queries and answers
were then read, during which salutary advi-
ces were expressed by several Friends.
Some spoke without due reflection, but good
feeling was generally manifested throughout,
and the meeting adjourned TO 9th day.
On 9th day at 10 o'clock the meeting again
assembled, the usual business was taken up
and transacted with tolerable ~harmony-the
minutes of Friends from a distance (only
two in number) were endorsed without OBJ
lection, and the meeting finally adjourned to
meet at Mount Pleasant, next year at the
usual time.
After the meeting had risen the Reform
party held a conference in the house. l was
informed that they appointed a committee
and fixed upon a time tor another meeting.
1t is supposed that they will set up a con-
gregational Society and that "a part OF Ono
Yearly Meeting will join it. l hope and be-
lieve that it will be but a small part, and
concur with thee in lamenting that the state
of Society is such as to lead to a separation.
The testimonies which our Society have long
borne against, war, slavery, capital punish
ment, intemperance, &c. did not originate
in the researches of human wisdom. They
were opened in the minds of those who first
bore them, by the illumination of Divine
Truth, and they can only be advanced by
keeping under the same holy influence,
which will not lead us to hide our light I'M
der q bushel, but will enable us with I'M
shrinking courage to bear them openly and
firmly before the world, in the spirit of meek
ness and love.
Thy affectionate friend, S. NJ. J.

Father Mathew--.A Voice from Ireland.

JAMES HAUGHToN writes from Dublin to
the Liberator as follows:
| am truly sorry to learn that Father Ma
thew has acted a cowardly part on the ques-
ton of slavery since he arrived in America.
/ did not expect that he would have taken a
prominent position among any section of
your abolitionists; but l did expect he would
have honestly avowed himself an abolitionist,
and that he would have called on Irishmen
in America to be the friends of the black
man. 1t was his bounden duty, as a truthful,
honest man, to have gone thus far, at least.
/ am sorry he has fallen, ! am sorry he has
bowed down before the slave power; ! am
sorry he contemplates a visit to the slave
States. If he does visit them, and that he
continues to disavow, or that he avoids man
fully to avow, his approval of the Address
which he signed, with ready willingness, at
my request, some years ago., land which Ad-
dress has been lately republished in the Lib
orator and Standard if he does not acknow-
ledge the paper signed by O'Connell, and
approved by his own conscience, | hope he
will take up his abode among shareholders,
and never come back to Ireland. But | will
yet hope better things of Father Mathew
| wrote TO him several weeks ago, entreating
him to be friendly and faithful to the colored
man. 1t is a sad thing, that this most cruelty
oppressed portion of our race should be no.
thing cared for, by even protested friends.
If Father Mathew shall raise no voice for
them in America, he will be despised even
by the stakeholder, and his name will become
a reproach among honest men. l do not
know what he means by saying that signing
the Address brought some odium on him
here lit gained for him nothing but honor
in Ireland; for, however dishonesty Irish
men may act in this respect, when they set
foot OF your soil, not a man of them, at
home, is to be found, who does not exclaim
against slavery. If my voice could reach
Father Mathew across the Atlantic, | would
c~onjure him to be true to the slave, for the
honor of old Ireland, for the sake of his own
fame, and because such a course is the only
manly and honorable course he can pursue ;
any other will bring disgrace to himself and
injury to the great cause of temperance in
which he is engaged, and with which his
name is identified, A man must be some
thing more than a teetotaller; we don't want
our people to stop there. Tcetotalism is the
foundation from it should spring every
other virtue that can adorn the man.
