THE CHRISTIAN ASTI.sLAVERY CONVENTION.

The welfare of man is the highest object Of
Christian labor it is the object for which Christ
came into the world Love to God is demonstrated
by our labors for the temporal and spiritual good
of mankind five fail in this we have no right
to claim the Christian name But thus TO labor,
must feel that every man is our brother, and de-
mands from us a brothers affections and broth
er's care. No sbjectness Of character, no degra-
daiion in vice, condition Of ignorance, no low
ness of social rank no loss of CASTE difference Of
of race, no color Of the skin, should make US for
get that all men are brethren. To forget this is
to repudiate the Gospel, to deny Christ, and to
bring upon ourselves the wrath OF an offended
God II is the want of this Christian spirit in
the churches, celebrating the distinction be-
tween those in and those out Of the church, that
that now demands from all whose religion Is more
than mere outward profession, an invest CATION
of the causes why the churches in our land are
not carrying out practically the doctrine Of human
equality.
Ia view of this condition of things, we would
urge all Christians who desire the churches to
take the highest ground in the recognition OF the
rights of every man TO civil, religious, and per-
sonal liberty, to meet In convention on the third
Wednesday in April next, In the city Of Cincin-
NATL for the purpose Of adopting such measures

freeing the American Israel from all connection
with the sin Of slavery.
Now, brethren, do not forget the time, and be-
gin at once to make your arrangements for the
occasion Prove your love 20 God and man BY
making sacrifices for the glory Of the ONE, and
for the happiness Of the other.
We take the liberty TO suggest to the friends
of the object that there are brethren whose voices
should be heard in the convention, but whose
means are not sufficient to allow them to take the
Journey TO Cincinnati We hope that such breth-
rem win be provided for by their neighbors, to
meet their travelling expenses, 20 that the con-
vention may have the benefit Of their counsels
And whatever can be done in this matter, let II
be quickly done, in order that we may have the

a voyage to California in man-of-war, en-
titled deck and port, lin which, by this way,
much is mildly and convincingly said against

81 have always felt some regard for a rat
since my cruise in the Constellation. We were
fitting for sea at Norfolk, and taking in water
and provisions; plank was resting on the sill
OF one OF the ports which communicated with
the wharf. On bright moonlight evening, we
discovered two rats on the plank coming into
the ship. The foremost was leading the other
by straw, one end OF which each held in his
mouth. We managed to capture them both, and
found, to our surprise, the one led by the otEer
was stone blind His faithful friend was trying
to get him on board, where he could have com.
Portable quarters during three years cruise

them on the wharf. How many there are in
