What have You Done! =

This question is often put 10 Abolitionists
in a taun'ing spirit, as if they had really &C.
complished nothing for the cause in which
they have been So long laboring. Many ig-
norlnt but honest souls really believe that no
good has ever been effected by anti-slayery
agitation. Such blindness and stupidity
seem almost incredible, hui we must learn 10
answer such objections with patience. The
Pennsylvania Freeman, moved by the recent
decision of the Supreme Court of that State,
referred to in another column, presents one
example Of the efficacy Of anti-slavery meas
uTes in that State.
None OF US has 10 task his memory 10 call
10 mind The time when the slave power con-
trollod the courts Of Pennsylvania, almos, as
completely as it now does those of MARYLAND
and Virginia when in every contest beiwe, n
freedom and slavery, the law was bent 10 IA
vor tie master: hut much as we mourn the
tagging step Of Pennsylvania in the march of
freedom, that time has gone by. Though we
skill have upon the judicial bench, some wor-
thy successors Of him " who feared not G1d
nor regarded man." our courts are generally
prompt 10 interpret the law TO favor the rights
Of man, and willing even to give the doubts
in legal Interpretation, in the same direction.
With the exception of the notorious judge
Hepburn, of Cumberland county, who, we
believe, no longer occupies the bench he dis
graced, the courts Of Eastern PENNSYLVANIA
have for several years uniformly proved their
reverence for justice by refusing the arrogant
demands Of the Shareholders, and respecting
the rights Of their former victims. In fact,
we need no better proof Of the power of sim
pie truth, and the efficacy Of our means of re-
form, than is given in the progress of the Le-
gisla,ure, the Executive, and the Judiciary
of this State, upon the question of Slavery
Lying as it does on the borders of the slave
states, bounding more than three hundred
miles of slave territory, and so intimately
connected as are its people, in social, COM
mercial, and religious bonds, with the South,
the position and action Of Pennsylvania upon
slavery, is eagerly watched by Southern men.
They feel that in the supporting arch Of sla-
very, as in the Union, This is the keystone
State" and they dread every motion which
threatens the removal of that "keystone,"
and which promises the vast influence of
Pennsylvania, even partially in favor of equal
rights and liberty.

Indirect Anti-SlaTrry Action.
JAs. CADoso, Sec'y.
Columbus, Jan. 90, 1913.

The True Democrat, in noticing some Of
the influences at work in the South, against
Slavery, says:
There are planters in South Carolina AMI
the planting States proper, who regard Sld-
very as an evil, and hate it. They dare not
say so, for they are not ripe for social death.
They will not propose direct action for Mat
would involve maTtyrdom in or out of Jail
But they know that certain measures will
open a pathway 10 the main question, and as
they are carried, lead 10 it with certainty,
and, therefore, they struggle with these mea
sures boldly.
They are, chiefly
Universal Education,
The White basis,
Election by The people of all officers,
The equalizing Of power in every way,
and not allowing Slavery TO be The basis Of
it.
.. There are Shareholders and non-slave-
hebiers in the grain-growing slave States,
wiro would annihilate slavery in an instant,
if they could. But that they cannot do. The
social and political despotism of masters,
would destroy any one who would attempt it.
But there is greater freedom of thought in
these than in the planting States, and there
fore, they can come nearer to the question Of
emancipation, and push It forward with great
or vigor. Hence they debate all SORTS OF
propositions bearing upon il. Such as:
That slavery is a moral evil,
That the blacks should receive menta'
instruction.
That they must be laugh, 10 read he Bi
bic,
That they should be legally married,
That the law should prohibit The separ
alton Of families, &c.
At the basis Of This Southern anti-slavery
agitation, rests the Northern. When tina
began, there was not in the far South, any
thought or action however distant, on :ht
subject. The master builders are the despi
sed and hated abolitionists, and whatever the
world may say Of their rashness and temper
in certain respects, the world as ii grows old
or, will acknowledge this great faci, and do
them justice.

Mob under the George Fox Oak

Stephen and Abby Foster have been called
10 pass through another mob ordeal, OF which
the George Fox Oak $50 called from the
circumstance that that eminent reformer once
preached under its shade,) was the scene
Previous, however, to their appointment un.
der the tree, they held a meeting in hall in
the village where it stands, (Flushing, L.I.)
This preliminary meeting was broken up in
a row., the speakers barely escaping with
whole bones. The row began with throwing
eggs at Stephen and Abby, which is the gen.
uine pro-slavery way Of doing the business.
The meeting under the Oak was held on Sun
day, bat, as we learn from the Standard, not
withstanding all the sacred associations Of
the time and place, and in spite Of the infu-
ence OF Samuel Parsons, a Friend, and one of
the most respectable citizens Of the place,
who declared that the lecturers should be pro-
tected in their right 10 address a public as
sembly, it was broken up by the shrieks and
screams, Kisses, cat.calls, bellowings, and
other Characteristic noises of the Sunday-pi-
Gus, and patriotic people Of that town. The
intelligent magistrates Of the village proved
themselves its civil Understanding TO the
Long Island fashion, we supposedly order
ing the Fosters off the ground, and threaten
ing them with prosecution if they persisted in
breaking the peace by affording an object for
the brutality of The people, thus headed by
these civil fathers, on which TO void ITSELF
Mrs. Foster was struck in the face by an egg,
which fortunately, however, contained an en-
bryo chicken-an instance, says the STAN
dard, of the prodigality Of the Flushingites
for which we were not prepared, though it
proves the sincerity OF their admiration Of
Slavery, that they are willing TO rob their
own hen-roosts to show how entirely they APP
prove Of a higher sort OF theft.
Mr.. and Mrs. Foster have now gone more
into the interior Of the island, where We hope
they will receive more decent Treatment.

The Beauties OF SLAvERY.-Some years
ago, says the N. O. Della, a butcher, named
George Heno, who had acquired fortune in
that city, left for France, where he resided
till his death. Al the time he left, he sold
all his slaves but one, a young girl, whom,
in consequence Of her being blind, and with
out manumitling her, he told TO go and take
care Of herself. In other words, he aban-
doned the poor helpless blind girl to her fate.
Ia the lapse Of time she became the mother
Of two children, a son and daughter, the
whole family passing a. free people. The
laughter of the blind woman has in her turn
become the mother Of several children; and
now comes George Heno, the son of the
blind girls original master, and claims moth
er, son, daughter, and grand children as his
property. The abandonment Of the girl pro-
we'd George Heno, Sr. a scamp, while the
Junior proves his likeness 10 his father in
claiming her and her poste!ity as slaves.

PASSED BY ON THE OTHER sIDE.'-The
Pittsburgh Conference of The Methodist Epis-
copal Church, embracing within IFS bounds
the Eastern portion of Ohio held its annual
meeting recently at Brownsville, Pa. We
have looked over its proceedings as reported
in the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate, but
cannot find that it manifested any sympathy
for the slaves, even for that portion of them

New GAnDEN.-We spent The last Sunday
at this place, where il was our privilege to
meet with many wd5m and generous friends.
In The morning we attended Friends meeting
a. the Grove, where we enjoyed, with many
others, the opportunity of listening 10 a dis
course from our beloved friend, JosEPH A.
DUGDALE. We also, in accordance with
what we believed to be the spirit of the meet
ing, made a brief address, in which we spoke
very freely concerning The past and present
condition Of the Society of Friends. The
people of New Garden are friends of free dis.

ligion from the exercise of Christian liberali-

The Nations McannCsS.


The meanness of this pale-faced nation, as
exhibited towards the colored man, puts our
power OF self-control 10 a severe test. We can
speak OF 1t only in terms Of strong indigna-
ton and severe rebuke. The States Of this
glorious Union claiming to be free are vast.
ly superior in wealth, population and politi-
cal power, to their slaveholding confederales,
and yet the latter are permitted 10 control the
National Government in every thing relating
to the rights Of the people of color. Aliho'
the colored man, in several States, is admit
ted to all the rights of a citizen, and allow
ed TO cast his ballot for members of the State
Legislature and Of Congress, for Governor,
and even for President, yet Tie Nation refuses
10 recognize him as a Wan! The moment he
comes under the jurisdiction Of the Union, he
is made TO feel that he is under a ban, an out
law in the land Of his nativity I! The Presi-
dent and his officials may have reached their
stations in part through the exercise Of his
sovereignty, and yet he is spurned from their
presence with a taunt of inferiority, if he
claims the most insignificant Of all the rights
that pertain TO him as a man and a citizen

SIT is very certain that nothing so much as
Disunion would secure the destruction of
Southern Institutions. "-Rich Ond (Va.)
Wig.
This is the testimony of one of the leading
presses of Virginia, and is supported, we be-
lieve, by the entire South, save only Mr..
Calhoun and his squad, who want to dis.
solve The union for the purpose of gratifying
his personal ambition, and who are SO fanati-
cal as TO believe that the Slaveholding States
could sustain themselves in a separate con-
federacy. The Whigi is rightbeyond a doubt,
and therefore we say, DOwn with The Union !
G-JosEPH and RUTH DuGDALE spent a
few days last week with their friends in this

A VILLAIN.-The Richmond (Ya.,) Times
tells a tale which reveals the villany of a
Northern sea-captain, at the same time that
it illustrates the diaboiical cruelty of Slavery.
1t seems that slave of John Finders, ST.,
named Martha Ann, wishing 10 escape TO a
free State, employed a free colorod woman,
named Mary Ann Dickinson, 10 procure a
passage for her in the schooner VIM. Maury,
Capt. Barker, bound to Philadelphia. The
free woman consequently made application
to the Captain, who signiied his willingness
to comply with the request. Having thus
obtained the confidence of The woman, he
coolly proceeded TO make his engagements
to betray her into the hands of the authori-
Tics. Having agreed upon the time and place
for a meeting with the slave and her friend,
he stationed some other villa ms as black
hearted as himself 10 watch them, by which
means they were both arrested. The slave
will doubtless be sent TO the far South, while
her friend will be consigned to a lingering
death in the Penitentilry. The scoundrel
who could thus betray a poor slave woman,
and not only destroy her hopes of freedom
but consign her 10 a still more cruel bondage
than that from which she sought to escape,
would not hesitate 10 commit any crime, of
however deep a dye, for a pal:ry reward.

AS MIGHT HAVE BEEN EXPECTED.-We
find in the Hartford Religious Herald some
extracts from a Report presented to the
General Association of Connecticut, IAN &C.
clesiastica! body, composed Of Orthodox
clergymen,) by Rev. Mr.. Perkins of Meri-
den. Having read the extracts, we do not
wonder that that willy body of parsons, who
have played The part of the Priest and Levite
Systematically for years, rejected The Report.
Mr.. Perkins has completely annihilaIed one
of The darling fctions by which the great bo-
dy Of ministers in Connecticut and elsewhere
have sought 10 exempt from censure the
g~uilliest of all the Shareholders of the South,
viz: those who make a profession of relig-
ion. Weallude to the idea that there is moth
ing sinful in the illegal relation of master
and slave. How much this has been liarped
upon by the clergy we need rot say, it being
assumed all the while that the dear Chris
tian brethren Of the South were compelled
by law, and against their will, 10 keep their
slaves in bondage. This sneaking lie Mr..
Perkins has caught and MORALLY wounded.
It's cowardly authors will not soon forgive
him. They will substitute some new Gb in
place Of the old one, and still persist in their
deadly opposition or hcartless Indifference to
:he cause of the slave.
