Salem, Ohio, June 2e, 1850.
Visit TO COlumbiana,


We spent last First doy in this place, attend
ing the regular meeting of Friends in the morn
ing and special meeting in the afternoon, Tho
rain kept away some who would gladly have
been present, but still a goodly number attend
cd both meetings. Tho afternoon meeting was
the regular meeting held in the morning-no
one o8ecting. On going to the meeting -housc
at p. NJ, however, Friends found the gates
secured by strong padlocks and the doors and
windows made fast. We have reason to believe
that this outrage against many respectable
members of the Society was committed with the
full knowledge and appreciation of the two
preachers who usually attend that meeting.
Friends feeling that their right to the use of
the house under tho circumstances was unquos-
tionablc did not hesitate to scale the fences and
enter it by the readiest means in their power
To accomplish the object nothing more was ne
ccssary than to remove protruding nail from
sash by pressing against it another nail, and
then to open the window, through which boy
found easy ingross The bar that held one of
the doors being removed, tho audience found
shelter from the rain and enjoyed the opportu-
nifty they had sought for the promotion of the
cause of Christian Reform. AS one good result
Of the meeting We rejoice to say, that measures
were adopted to ro-organize the Temperance So
cicty Of Columbiana, whose influence is greatly
needed there at the present time.
The opponents of Reform doubtless expected
| 20 a. hsIl l..
ternoon, but they were disappointed. OF course
they affected to be droadfully shocked at such
violation of tho principle of Nom Resistance %
| as wns involved in tho removal of nail from
the window, and the accidental breaking of q
pane of glass and from the manner in which
stories, in such hands, usually grow, we should
not be surprised to hear within week that at
least ono Of the gablo-ends was demolished and
half-a-dozen venerable Friends assaulted and
| tramplcd upon. What other horrors may accu-
mulote in tho passage of the story from place to
place VIC cannot pretend to foresee. Tho house
was entered by members Of the Society of
Friends distinctly upon the ground that they
had q right to its use. from the enjoyment of
which tho individual who locked the door had
no proper authority to debar them. Whatever
of responsibility is involved in the removal of
the nail we checrfully take upon ourselves, for
the act was performed by our own hands; and
We must also plead guilty to subsequent effort
to dyiue fresh nail in the coffin of pro-slavery
Quokerism. The prospect of repentance on our
part for these offences against Bigotry and Cant
We fear is decidedly slim.

New School General Assembly.

Tho discussion of the Slavery question in the
Presbyterian General Assembly IN. 81 resulted
in the passage of the following rcsolutiopAsrAs
Resolved, That we exceedingly deplore the
workings of the whole system of slavery rs it
exists in our country, and is interwoven with
the political institutions of the slaveholding
States, as fraught with many and great evils TO
the civil, political and moral interests of those
regions where it exists.
I'd. That the holding our fellow men in the
condition of slavery, except in those cases where
it is unavoidable, but compelled by the laws of
the State, the obligations of guardianship, the
demands Of humanity, is an offence in the prop
or import of tho term, as used in the Book Of
Discipline, chap. /, sec. 8, which should be re-
gardcd and treated in the same manner as other
offences.
Sd. That the Sessions and Presbytcries arc,
by the constitution of our church, the courts, or
primary jurisdictions for the trial of offences.
4th. That after this declaration of sentiments,
the whole subject of slavery, as it exists in the
church, be referred to the Sessions and Presby-
teries, to take such action thereon as in their
judgment the laws of Christianity require.
If the Assembly, says the Liberty Party Pa
per, by its second resolution means that slave
holding authorized by law is to be excepted, it
simply sets up the law of the State above the
law of God. The laws of the slave States COM
pei no man to hold slaves. They simply en,po,c-
er him to do so. And the Assembly has given
currency to falsehood in tho implied assertion
of legal compulsion to hold slaves. "The de-
mands of humanity" wo reckon, have about as
much to do with continuing the practice Of
slaveholding, as they have in perpetuating
drunkenness, theft and robbery. This General
Assembly is fair sample of Northern Hunker-
dom, sustaining to true Christianity the same
relation which Doughface Dickinson and Lewis
Cass do to true Democracy. Such men as
Chase, Hale and Seward in tho Senate, and tho
majority of the Northern Wings and Democrats
in tho House show more humanity than thil

kSSaHlt on Frederick Douglass.

Various reports of rufianly assault on
Frederick Douglass in New York are afloat.
His friends every where will read with deep
interest his own statement of the affair."
Here il is, from his North Star of the Both
ult. What vulgar, brutal wretches the pro-
slavery classes keep III train 10 do their in
fernal work Read:
"My readers will have observed, in the
North Star of last week an account of
most cowardly assault made upon me in the
Battery at New York. Like most other
statements which emanate from the Ameri-
can press, this one Qhough partly true) is
false in several particulars. 1t is not true
that ] walked down Broadway with two
white females resting on my arm, in the
case alluded to, although insist upon the
right TO do so. II is not true that the ladies'
in company with me placed themselves un-
der the core of the gentleman (ruflian p who
assaulted me, nor of any of the vllanous
party, nor of any body else. 1t is not true
that sneered or spoke TO the loafing assail-
nnts. The facts briefly are these. Myself
and friends were going to Philadelphia, and
supposing that the "John Potter" departed
from New York at twelve o'clock, we rode
dOrn quarter before twelve, but found on
our arrival That we had been mistaken the
time OF starting being halfpast one o'clock.
The interval, therefore, we passed in the
Battery. When about to leave for the Steam
er, five or six men surrounded us, assailng
us with all sorts of coarse and filthy Ian
guage, and two of them finally struck the
ladies' ON the head, while another attacked
mo. warded off the blows with my um-
brelln, and the cowardly creatures left with
out doing any personal harm. Thinking
that We should not he disturbed by them
again we walked slowly toward the Steam-
er, one of the mob observing that was of
my guard, ran up behind me and before !
could put myself in a position to ward of
the assassin's blow, was struck in the face
These are tho whole facts in the case.
never was more calm or self fpossessed than
when under this beastly assault ] felt no in
dignation towards the poor miserable wretch
es who committed the outrage. They were
hut executing upon me the behests of the
pro-slaycry church and clergy of the land /;
doing the dirty work of the men who des-
pise them, and who have no more respect
ior them in reality than they have for me.

Isaac 7. Hopper.

We find in the Now York Tribune long but
exceedingly interesting letter addressed to the
Mayor of that City by our venerable and highly
esteemed friend, in which the disgraceful conni-
vance, of that high functionary with the proceed
ings of Capt. Rynders and his gang, by which
the meetings of the American A. S. Society
were disturbed and finally broken up, is fully
and clearly demonstrated The letter, before
publication, was sent to the Mayor, who merely
acknowledged its reception in brief note,
which, in view of all the circumstances, pretty
clearly amounts to a confession Of his inability
to clear himself of the serious charges brought
against him. Friend Hopper, in this as in many
other incidents of his eventful life, has exhibit
ed courage of the highest order, and illustrated
the truth of an observation we have often heard
him make, viz that he is afraid neither O.
Saul, the Witch nor the Dovil

Wonderful Discovery, and an Equally Won.
dCrful Blnndcr.

An astuto female correspondent Of the Pitts
burgh Tisifcr has made the wonderful discovery
that the doctrine Of the Equal Rights of Woman
necessarily involves "a unity of costume with
the other Sex MY own belief is, solcmnly
writes the discovcrcr, that women will have to
dress like men, in order successfully to maintain
an equality with them in respect to business,
politics and other matters in which they viii be
compelled to engage; and she writes column
in defence and illustration of this theory, tho
absurdity of which is so apparent that IL could
hardly fail to raise grin even on the face of
Old Mortality Mrs. Swisshelm, who, upon
subjects of only ordinary solemnity, always con-
trivcs to be facctious, treats this theory with a
gravity bcftting the high interests which il in
wolves. In the course of her reply to her 'yal-
ued correspondent she says:
We grant that il woman were to follow oil
the occupations now followed by men, they
would finally be forced into pantaloons but
there is no reason why she should assume these
avocations. This teas the grand, The egregious
bi,u,dcr ofho Ohio Conrention--tho no difference
bet,cecn the seres. The idea is unnatural and
prcposterous and its advocacy must alarm the
mass Of both sexes, if it were not too wild to
cause apprehension.
Now if Mrs. S. can find in the proceedings Of
the Salem Convention any resolution or para
graph, which, fairly interpreted, contains the
'egregious blundcr,' the unnatural and propos-
ferrous idea above specified, we will undertake
to procure for her, from the next Convention,
as premium for such an example of optical
genius, the most elegant pair Of leather specta-
clcs that the combined ingenuity and taste Of
the body can furnish She will have no COM
pctitor for tho premium, for, among the scores
of papers that have noticed the Convention in
in courteous and respectful terms, the Visi-
ter, so far as our observation has extended is
the only one that saw this alarming heresy. We
venture to affirm, though of course we cannot
speak by authority that among the five hun
dred women who took part in that Conven-
ton there was not one so utterly beside herself
as to entertain tho idea that tho sex ought to
assume all the occupations now followed by
mon and we think it would take large mea-
suro of the sort of excgctical wisdom lately dis
played by Prof Stuart in his effort to twist the
Bible into the service of Slavery and tho support
of Daniel Webster to find any such sentiment in
any of their documents. We hope, therefore,
that the mass of both sexes will defer their
sensations of alarm until they are quite sure
there is some rational ground for them.

Yearly Meeting of Congregational Friends

by letter from our much esteemed friend,
RHoDA De GARMo, of Rochester, N. Y, we
learn that the Yearly Meeting of Congregation
al Friends of that State was held at Waterloo,
commencing on the I'd and closing on the 9th
inst. The meeting was very satisfactory one,
those present appearing to participate in its pro-
cecdings with peculiar interest. The great sub
jects of War, Slavery, Sectorianism, tho Posi-
ton Of Woman, and some others, were introdu-
ced and very ably discussed, and addresses on
various topics prepared for publication, which,
with the proceedings, will in due time be pre-
sonted to the public. Our friend says al
think there were moro in attendance than there
were last year, and tho greatest good feeling
prevailed. Many confessed that their expecta-
tons were more than realized, and their feelings
enlisted in tho objects Of tho meeting far beyond
any thing they had formed an idea of before at
tending. Thus l conceive there is nothing but
encouragement in prospect if we all adhere to
the great principles of Right so clearly Impress
ed on the minds of many able advocates. 1t ap-
pears to me mono could have attended through
that meeting whose spirits were not renewed
and hearts enlarged toward the whole human
family; while all sectarian distinctions must
have dwindled into mere insignihcance, for the
tide OF sympathetic feeling for tho good of man
kind rose far above them all and covered evory
rising mound of opposition"
