his life amorg heather abroad. Then again
the missionary spirit is well-nigh suppressed
as it is seen in its technical forms to come
into collision with justice and humanity
Young men have been accustomed to view
the missionary cause as the highest and no.
Hest of causes. Ii was sacred III the associa-
tions of their minds, connecting itself with
all that is self-sacrificing and benevolent in
Christianity. 1t is so no longer. The action
and want of action of the Board on the sub
ject of slavery rs fairly brought before them
in their own missions, has been such as TO
show that the technical missionary spirit may
be allied to inhumanity and opposed to phi
lanthropy. Such a result is fatal to the cause
of missions. 1t eats out the very heart of de-
votion to the work. Once array in the pres
ent age the cause of missions against the
progress of philanthropy, and hold 1t up be-
fore the world as an abstract, mystic splritu-
alism, busted only with frames and tervors,
and it is dead. We are no believers in such
missions, any more than in an unspiritual, in
fidel philanthropy. The two elements must
be c%onjOined, and pietism and philanthropy
go hand in hand to subdue this world to
God.
This lesson our great benevolent societies
with all their excellencies are slow to learn.

the pr%omulgators of gospel truth to the world,
becoming mere pieces of ecclesiastical ma
chinery to work out the II of a blind and
useless Journalism. Goo can never be truly
honored by prayers, alms-giving, and preach
ing, while his image imprinted on even the
lowliest and most degraded and oppressed
man, is treated with contempt.
WHAT PRoFIT?-The stubborn resolution
with which the American Board of Foreign
Missions has resisted all agitation respecting
| slavery, and supported slaveholding churches
| among the Indians, is well known. ltseems
i-ncongruous to bring the operations of a mis-
sionary organization to a pecuniary test, but
us missionaries are necessarily supported by
%pecuniary contributions, and as churches,
like parliaments, understand the coercive
power Of refusal of supplies" it, read
ily becomes a money question. While, then,
the Board alleviate hundreds, and arouse the
suspicious of thousands, in the free States
what is the measure of support derived from
the South? The last missionary Herald
gives us an item. The total receipts for the
month of July, were $2S,225.I2. OF this
sum, only S2,4I1.59 came from slave States
Over $1,000 was contributed by the mission
churches in Madras and Bombay! We have
no reason to suppose that a much more ia
vorable report from the "patriarchaF church
es would be obtained i'll an average OF months

Loveioy was asked several times to with
draw his motion. He at length rose and said
- cannot withdraw the motion, because
consider the motion right, and l look upon
this opposition as rude and wrong This
painful and Notifying discussion was car
lied on for thirty minutes, Mrs. Brooks stand
ing in evident embarrassment during that
time. The vote was at length put on Mr..
Lovejoy's motion, and was declared doubt
full. Mr.. l.. was then asked again TO with
draw his motion, and, without another word,
complied. Mrs. Brooks was then seated and
silenced by this body of craven compromi-
sers, who seemed TO me at that moment to be
assembled in the name of Jesus TO stab with
poisoned dagger a pleading, betrayed HUI
mainly.
A sister offering herself TO go out to die
among the heather on the Presidential fields
of Africa, is gagged by the professed Chris
tians and brothers who are sending her thith-
or in the nam of Jesus Christ. Her heart
is burning with an earnest thought of love
which she wishes to express, these protested
brothers in the Lord shut and lock her mouth
because she is a woman! Shame on such
barbarians! Their own mothers and sisters
and wives will disown them, if they have a
spark of womanly feeling! viii any one
tell me in what respect this spirit differs
from the accused spirit of the slave power
l confess / cannot discern the difference
God grant that brother and sister Brooks may
have sufficient s~clfrcspect, after such an
open and high-handed insult not only to
them, but to universal Humanity, to refuse TO
go to any field o flabor under such guidance.
God pity the slave, and the heather of all
dark lands, if they must wait for deliverance
and education from such false-hearted men
as did this wicked deed to-day, for then there
is no ray Of hope for them in this selfish
world OF compromise and wrong.
Your brother for equal rights to the uni
versal brotherhood in Jesus,

Progress Of Society.

The great landmarks of Christian history
show as distinctly the lines which yindicate
the successive subsidences of Privilege, as
the surface of the earth does those of ancient
sea-levels. No system of government can
be secure which has not for its foundation the
satisfied intelligence of the governed. Dark
ness, however it may sometimes be called
solid by the poets, is not the safest basis Of
political institutions. A crude idea of Part
nership, becoming ever more and more dis
tinct may be traced through all the varying
phases of the social state. Intellect and per-
sonal courage, in proportion as these were
necessary in the ruder ages TO foster and de-
tend that industry TO which all communities
have owed their permanent wellbeing, were
allowed to draw a larger proportion of the
profits. Hence aristocracies whose lions
share was not disputed as long as they con-
tributed their share of mental and physical
capital TO the common stock. But as the
average of the popular intelligence gradually
became higher and higher, a rc-adjustment
OF the terms of the partnership became ne
cessary, and the middle class, an aristocracy
of wealth, came into being. More recently,
Labor which no longer feels the need of pro-
lection, and which has learned that il creates
capital but is not created by it, has begun to-
demand a new settlement in which its claims
shall be duly regarded. R. L.-.Ndt. "A. S.

LIBERTY or DEATn.-The st. Louis Union
of August Goth, tells the story of a slave, a
young colored woman, who vas discovered
concealed on board one of the steamboats,
from St. Louis to Cincinnati. The inhuman
captain, supposing her to be a fugitive slave,
secured and confined her, until leaving Gin
cinnati on his backward trip, intending to re-
turn her to her master. Learning that she
was TO be taken back, while passing down
the Ohio, she broke from her confinement,
Jumped overheard and was drowned. While
she was struggling in the water, the boat was
stopped, and great exertions were made TO
rescue her, but she sunk and was lost
"Whether she was a slave or free" SAYS the
| Union g ujlat ledsto the aonansissionz af- tha
fatal act, and who she was, or where she be-
longed, remains q secret"
This is one of the numberless and cease
less horrors hourly begotten by the American
slave SYSTEM, as like unto the system which
gave it birth, as ever was offspring like the
parent. 1t is one of the fruits of our unholy
Union and compact with shareholders.
Shameful and cruel as was the act of that
captain, he was only obeying the spirit Of
the American law, and the Instructions o.
the American church, and not on his hand:
alone rests her innocent blood; but every
man who sustains that God-defying Union
or that corrupt and false church, may wei
ask whether he is guilty of her blood.-Pa
Freeman.

CONSERVATIVE CHARACTER OF SLAVERY.

CONSERVATIVES CHARACTER OF SLAVERY
Men talk very sagaciously of this, that, and
the other thing us the conservative clement of
society. In England il is the Church on the
House of Lords, in America generally it is
the Senate, in South Carolina it is Slavery.
But this is all the merost gable. There is
10 conservatism for society short of the per
fiction of social Order. One might as well
hope to put ont Hecla with a candle-cXtin-
guisher, as to repress the natural aspirations
of man toward a iusler and more perfect or
ganization of society, by amy such temporary
makeshifts. The only conservatism TO be
depended on must be a system as harmoni
Gus and as subject to eternal principles as
that of the planets. All that will be neces-
sary viii be 10 allow the laws of social gra-
vitation TO act unimpcded. Ii is a singular
conservative principle which itself requires
to be conserved, and which by the operation
of natural and irresistible causes is brought
every year nearer and nearer to the point OF
explosion. That is an expensive species OF
industry, and conservative only in some sense
hitherto u~nrecognized, which uses up terri
tory instead of rendering it more productive,
and whose motive power is the cart-whlp.-

KIDNAPPERs DEFEATED.-One of these
land pirates, as we learn from the HILLSIDE
rough (O.O Gazette, named Cogzell, from
Memphis, Tenn, with Il gang of his minions,
attempted recently to carry off a colorcd wo-
man from Hamilton co., Ohio. The woman,
named Mary Elizabeth Munro, was found at
the house of Mr.. James Sloane, near Mou-
rertown, in Hamilton county, was seized by
these persons, i'll the house of Mr.. Sloane,
and dragged out some distance toward the
road, when they were met by Mr.. Sloane,
and told they must not remove Mary from
his premises without first establishing their
claim.
While thus engaged, a warrant was OBJ
tanned, and the parties were arrested and t-
ken before a magistrate at Hillsborough,
where it was proved that, though Mary had
been CogZelPs slave, he had sent her with a
Mrs. Philpot, who was in ill-health, to Ohio,
on q visit TO Mrs. P.'s brother, a MIR. Ham
nett, one of the gentlemen k~idnappers who
had seized her. She was of course free,
and being informed of the fact, she took her
body into her own keeping, and the man
thieves lost their prey. In the trial of the
case, says the Gazette, "The black woman
Mary was admitted to testify as a witness in
the case, the first case of the kind in High
lands since the repeal of the Black Laws
Her testimony, II is sad, was calm, clear and
deliberate-wilhout confusion or hesitation,
and duly conoborated by the testimony Of
others

THIS CnRIsTIAN CoUNTRY.-The Shelby,
Ky, News, gives an account of the cowhl-
ding of the l. v. G. w. Robinson, by The
Chief Patrol of the town, assisted by his depu-
~. MIR. Robinson's offence was that he had
established a Sabbath School for certain ne
groes under his control, and such others as
had permission fiom their masters TO attend.
The cowhiding was performed on Sunday
in the sehool-room, the rutlians claiming that
they acted under the directions of the trhs-
tees of the town. This the trustees deny,
however, and we may have a repetition OF
uffianism TO settle the dispute. Whether
the trustees and patrols were members OF
the church, loving christian brethren OF the
slaves and the minister, we are uniformed
but il is not unreasonable 10 suppose II
where religion is but All apology for slavery
and the church is its great buiwark. Is &
church which makes lis own bosom a del
for such w~ickedness, and a nest for all un'
cleanuess, which we are called TO sanction
and sustain by our fellowship, OF TO tolerate
by our silence. This is the church which
northern missionary societies and sects taxi
10 their arms, and which abohtionists arr
deemed herelics and infidels for repudiating
These missionary bodies and sects have m
time 10 spend in protecting their own cler
gvmen, or rebuking the foul spirit Of slavery
They have China and India and the Hotter
tots 10 convert, when that work is done the
may look at home.-Pa. Freeman.
