Truth and ifs Advocates.

That there is truth IN Mesmerism we
have no Inore doubt tlinn we have of other
things, of which we are certain upon sufii-
cient evidence. Nevertheless, what the
writer says of itinerant lecturers and ines
meriZcrs is true in general. We never go
near them--Patsbwgh Christ. .4dUocdie.
The ,qdrocdie is Il Methodist paper. What
would it say to public journal that should
hold similar language to the above in rcla-
ton TO its peculiar faith and its 'itinerant'
defenders 'There is truth in Methodism,
but its preachers urc a sorry tribe zoe nev-
or GO near thcm,' says one. Would such
Methodism pass current at the Book Room?
We guess not That there have been igno-
rant and unprinciplcd lecturers on Mesmer-
ism, we do not doubt and so there have
been ignorant and unprincipled Methodist
preachers. We submit that it is not fair,
for that reason, to dcnomcc the whole body
in the one case more than in the other The
fact is that the regular clergy arc extremely
jealous of any lecturer, no matter what may
be liis theme, who hes the power to attract
men from the meetings appointed by them
selves. In almost every village they coll
triye to make appointments for about every
evening i'll the week, and they would bo
glad to keep the masses Of the people forev-
or chained to the wheels of Sect. All ques-
tions of Science and Reform they would
keep at arms length; and as for amuso-
nents, they would abolish them altogether,
if they could have their way. To unfold
the mysteries of Mesmerism is in our iudg-
ment a far worihcr employment than that
of 'sonl-saying,' rs carried on by the clergy
generally at the present day. Every one to
his taste, however.

with Mr. Clay, that Congress has no more
constitutional authority over slavery in the
ST tes than in the lslAhd OF { ubG and most
fully do l agree with the admission in bis
speech, but not to be found in his resolutions,
OF the right OF Congress to exclude slavery
from the conquered territories. Hence in
my opinion, the refusal TO exercise this right,
even TO preserve the Union, would be a
CRIME in the sight of God aud man. j en-
tertain no apprehension OF the severance of
the Union, ior this cause, but should the
few shareholders, and the vast multitude of
southern people, who have no interest in
their madness separate from us, upon them
will rest the sin, and upon them and their
children will tall its punishment Letus do
what God commands, ind leave TO i1IM the
consequences. Yours truly,

eB' Our correspondent, w. G., who jumps Mt
the conclusion that an article sent by him for
publication has been rejected because It has not
yet appeared in our columns, and who thercu, on
gives us lecture on tho subject of free discus
sion, winding up with threat to stop his papor,
is hereby informed that the article referred to
has not met the fate he so much deploros, but
has been placed on file to be inserted at our
earliest convenience. We had no thought Of
rcjectingit until the receipt of the threat above
alluded to. We have on hand every week more
matter than we have room to publish, and our
friends article was postponed rather than some
others because it was of such character that it
would not suffer by being delayed for few
weeks. In former notices b coITosS SDndents VIC
have alluded to this and similar cases In general
terms, but it seems we have not been Under

us now to refuse the article place, but as we
mean to bo good natured, we shall resist the
temptation and publish it, according to our pre-
yious intention, whom we can best afford the
necessary room-perhops next wcck-but not a

TIE ORDIN.acE OF SIT has been our
impression that Slavery had no actual cxist-
ence in the Northwest Territory AT ihc time
of the passage of the celebrated Ordinance
of 1857; but DIR. Fitch, of Indiana, in his
recent speech in the U. $. House of Repre-
scntatves, states, that il "cXisted in it" by
the Laws of Virginia, "not only theoretical
ly but practicalIy."' lie cdds: "Slaves
were held in that portion of il out of which
my own State (Indana) has since been crea-
ted. Consequently, that Ordinance abolish
cd slavery 'cithom he consent Of The inhaJi-
tdnts." In view of this fact, he pertinently
remarks, that the Ordinance was adopted
"undcr circumstances which would have fer
better justified the incorporate opposition
now manifested" to the Wilm0t Proyiso, for
the latter proposes not TO abolish Slavery,
but 10 prevent its Introduction where it does
not exist. And yet tie former passed with
out opposition, while the latter excites the
fiercest hostility of Shareholders. This is an
illustration of the Scripur, doctrine, that
"evil men and scducers wax worse and
worse" The South is more corrupt and
tyranicol, more naughty and impcrious now,
than she was sixty years ago.

Going Backwards.

The Legislature. of Massachusetts, has for
many years past treated the petitions of Abo-
litionists with marked respect. This year,
however, under the blightng influence of
Taylorisn, II seems disposed to change its
policy. A petition for a peaceable seces-
sion from the Union precisely similar to
those received without objection in former
years. was first laid upon the table without
ceremony, and then on second thought from
a wholesome fear of consequcnces) referred
ms matter of form to the Judiciary Com
mittec, who, instead of aflording the poti-
TONERS an opportunity 10 be heard, reported
within two days, recommending that thcy
have leave TO Withdraw! Our old friend
Henry Wilson, the leader OF the Frcesoil
party in the House, signOlized his devotion
to our glorious Union by moving a s,is-
pension Of the rules, that tic question of
accepting the report might be taken by yeas
and nays at once. The motion prevailed,
and the report was accepted, only one mem

disappointment in view of the course pur-
sued by Mr.. Wilson, and believe he will

played rare courage in standing up alone
against the tide which swept all around
lim from their noorings. Truly docs The
Libcrator say that he was in the majority,
for he was right and the right is with God,
who is more than multliudinous.
A calm rcmonstrance against this action
of tie House, signed by the members OF the
Board of Managers of tho Massachusetts
A. S. Society, was subsequently treated
with the same disrespect--ilie petitioners
having immediate leave to withdraw,
without reference OF hcaring,) 1872 to
63.
1t is lamcrtable to see the Old Bay State
thus taking the backward track, and bowling
obsoquiously 10 the South. Her political
leaders will find, we think, that they have
committed bluuder, and be compelled by
the people to retracc their steps. They little
understand the temper of the petitioners if
they suppose that treatment like this will
either discourage or overawe them. The
sentiment of hostility TO the Union is grow
ing stronger day by day, and will yet make
itself felt in the halls Of legislation in all the
Free States. Schcming politicians may
shout their empty hozannas to the Union
ill they are hoarsc, aud level their fercest
dcnunciations at those who have the courage
to expose its true character, but ii will be all
in vain. The people ure beginning 10 inves-
tigate the subject for themselves, aud they

accompanied by a circular, in which they
call upon the friends Of the cause 10 aid in

by Congress for the support of Slavery in
the District Of Columbia, or, in the event of
their nnn-repeal, for the removal of the scat

State applying for admission to the Union
with Constitution permitting Sluyery-and
for the establishment and protection of
Freedom in the Territories The sioners of
the circular express their belief that the
friends of freedom cannot do a better SER
vice, at the present juncture, than by the
general circulation of these petitions Let
those who can go no farther adopt this
course; they will thereby aid ia keeping
alive the present wholesome agitation.

Monday las: was the day fixed upon by the
extreme Southern party for a violent and bloody
demonstration in the House. The Tribune Of
the I'd inst, says:
There are CORY rumors chasing each other
in quick Succession through the lind, of mp
pretended strife aud carnage in the Capitol
on Alonday-of pistols to be snapped and
Bowio-knives to be brandished, it a majority
of the Peoples Representatives see tit TO
vote that Slavery shall be excluded from the
Territories, or even that California shall come
promptly into the Union. One telegrapher
predics thut blood will flow like water--an-
OiHtl iINt Nic SOutuefn NiellDelS VIII fCllll-
quish their seats in n body--and so ON. We
do not repeat these rumors TO liz them into
consequeucc-iar less TO intimate that they
have any foundation in ruth. We mem
ton them only that we may protest against
the countenaDce given them by silence
ON the part of the Southern Members aud
great Majority of the Southern Journals
by whom they ought TO he promptly dis
countenanced and branded as groundless lies.
That the Southern Members do not intend
any outrage so abominable as the commence
mcnt or the proyocation of a murdcrous
aftray in the Capitol, is clear enough but
they ought TO repel and disavow the bare
possibility of il with horror. Their silence
in such crisis is Of itself moral treason.
1t argues that, though they may loathe the
use of rcvolyers and swor1-caBcs TO carry
their point in the House, they would not OBJ
ject to a triumph won by the apprehension of
such inlmeasurable criminality. I ....
The object of these threats was to deter the
North from pressing the adoption of Doty's
resolution instructing the Committee on Terri
tories to report bill for the admission Of Cali
fornia, which was to come up on Monday under
the rules. Meanwhile the House gave Mr.
Doty himself leave to bring in the bill, and il
has been introduced accordingly. We await
intelligence OF Monday proceedings, therefore,
without special anxiety.
