Example of Hungary.

The Magyars of Hungary, whose struggle
with the combined powers Of Austria and
Russia the World is now watching with
breathless interest, and for whose success the
most devoted friends Of peace hourly pray,
before taking up arms in their own defence,
decreed the emancipation and future equality
of all the subject races throughout their
country. They did not dare 10 strike a blow
at their oppressors It'll they had solemnly
promised 10 nnbind the chains Of their own
~vassals. They have thus given 10 the world
The highest evidence Of their sincerity, and
hence, Notwithstanding our strong disappro-
baton OF war, we cannot help feeling for
them the li%veliest sympathy. twill be seen
from the latest intelligence that they are car
rying every thing before them, and we are
not without hope that they will establish, in
The midst of the darkness and despotism
which surround ;hem, a Republic on whose
altar giay be kindled the fame of a purer
liberty than has ever yet been embodied in
any governmental organization.
Alas! that VIZ should be compelled to hang
our heads in shame at the contrast between
our W country and semi-barbarous TIunga-
ry. Seventy-three years have elapsed since
The bloody Revolution which separated US
from the mother country, and yet, so far from
decreasing the emancipation of our slaves,
their number has increased from 100000 TO
100000, and the combined influence Of
Church and State has been devoted TO the
maintenance of the system which is crushing
them TO the earth. Our very Constitution is
a Bulwark Of Slavery-the charter to which
menstealers point with exultalion as authori-
ty for their deeds of %villany!
20 how h~umbling the thought, that the Old world
before us
To the temple of Freedom is leading the way;
lille the cloud otoppression still gathering Oe' r US,
Obscures the full brightness of Liberty day

The Bible --Falher Mathew.
SALEM, August 10, 1910

CALEMi august ~, io4o'
FRIENp JOHNSON: I am on the platform Of
an A.. S. Convention, in Hawley's grove |
have just offered and commented on the fol-
lowing resolution
Resolped, That il the Bible Is not against
Slavery-as Father MATHEW and the pro-sla-
very priests Of this nation say it is not-ihen
it is The duty Of the friends of Justice and Hu-
mainly 10 60 against the Bible.
BY Bible l mean just what they mean who
thus quote that book TO justify their iniquitous
support Of a criminal and cruel Indifference TO
the outroges perpetraied upon the American
slaves. Twenty years ago, the American
Church and Clergy said" the Bible sane
fions slavery" They were met by the as
s%ertion, "if the Bible sanctions slavery, the
Bible is opposed 10 self-evident truth, and is
therefore a self-evident falsehood." Now
shey have lowered their tone, and say, "ihe
Bible says nothing against slavery" The
above resolution meets this in the only way
in which it ought 10 be met. 1t is immalerial
what the Bible does or does not say on the
subject, so far as the duty of all men is con-
cerned respecting slavery. The voice of God,
speaking through every element Of our phys
ical, social and spiritual natures, has settled
this question. would as soon 60 to the BIZ
BILE Il, learn my duty 10 a starving or drown
ing man, as TO the slave.
And Father Mathew has covered before
the demon Of American Slavery !! 1t is sad
1T is pitiful! A man who, while in his own
dear green Isle, could so loudly and so ear
nestly protest against oppression at home and
abroad, and especially against American Sla-
very, declaring even neutrality or Indifference
TO it to be a heinous offence against Justice,
humanity, and Christianity and then the mo-
ment he lands on our shores, al!ying himself
10 the slave-breede-s and shareholders of the
land, iustifying himself and them by quoting
the Bible, and heading the millions of his
fellow.countrymen and sectarians in this
country in their hostility to the A~nli-Slavery
cause, and to the oppressed Americana! tits
mean, Il is cowardly it is most unjust, and
1ecreani 10 the character he has so nobly earn
ed in the cause Of Temperance. Better for
she American Slave, for the cause of Human
ity, and for Father Mathews good name, had
he remained at home, or thai he had been en-
-gulphed in the Ocean ere landing on these
-slavery-cursed shores to burn incense to the
American Moloch. And is he going to be
the guest of slave.breeders and slave-traders,
and to be waited on by %slaves2 Is he going
TO be dumb respecting the horrors of slavery?
He is; and will ere long bitterly rue the day
qwhen he gave heed 10 that counsel that has
caused him so bitterly TO err.

dissatisfied with your methods Of action, can
fail 10 admire its vigor, fearlessness, and

This is the tribute OF a kigh-minded, hon.

blind to the importance Of moral agitation as
as a means Of abolishing Slavery. The les.

G-The thanks of the Abolitionists Of Sa-
lem and vicinity are due TO BENJAMIN HAw-
LEY, Esq, for his kindness in permitting
them TO occupy his splendid grove, without
fee or reward, for The recent Convention and
Pic Mic. In place where all, or nearly all,
The mceting-houses Of the various sects are
closed against anii-slavery meetings, such
an act of kindness and liberality is too pre-
cious to pass unnoliced. Thanks are also
due 10 Mr.. CRAFT COAST, who cheerfully
gave the friends Of the cause access to his
lumber-pile for The supply Of the necessary
seats. Neither of these gentlemen, we be-
'~lieve, is in sympathy with the Disunion move
ment, but it is greatly to their credit that they
did not therefore refuse to do US a favor which
narrow sectarians so, often withhold.

SENATOR WALKER.-I is stated on GOOD
authority that the resolutions passed by the
Legislature Of Wisconsin, inslrucling the
Senators from that State TO support the Will
mot Proviso, were introduced at the instiga-
ton Of Walker himself, who expressed his
fears that his colleage would not be truo to
Freedom without such instructions. 1t is a
singular comment upon this Senator'S dis
trust of that colleague, that the latter left a
sick bed to record his vote against the amend
ment, by which the former attempted to belray
his constituents.
The Wisconsin Free Democrat states that
Walkers friends are hard at work TO secure
a majority in The next Legislature, and a Gov
ernor that will sustain him.
