FRIEND MARIUs; Want OF leisure, and not
of good intentions, has 50 long delayed com
pliance with your request for sketch of my
tour of Anti-Slavery labor in this region.
OF its first three days at the Anniversary,
in Mt. Uniou, you have already given full
account, us also, of the meeting which adj
dressed in Salem, on the next evening-the
9th of the 9th month. On the afternoon
aud evening of the 25lh, | presented the
claims of our cause 10 moderately numer-
ous audience in New Lisbon,-a rather lar
ger meeting, was told, than is usual on
such occasions in that place. We occupied
there meeting house belonging to the "Dis-
ciples." The afternoon aud evening of the
next day, spent at New Garden, where
also, the Disciples opened their house to us,
and the gathering was pretty large. The
evening meeting there, was signaized by the
only instance of mobocralc ruleness which
| have encountered for u long time. A band
of grown-up, and nearly grown-up boys, who
have not, probably, hnd much training in
good manners, or the decencies of civilized
life, assembled outside OF the house aud an
noycd somewhat, the orderly and attentive
congregation within, by" making night hid
eous," with sundry hoolings aud yels, und
sounds more loud than musical but succee-
ded only in disgracing themselves, withou:
seriously disturbing us. Ii is to be charita-
bly, hoped they were at length ashamed OF
themselves, for, before the evening closed,
their clamor died away, and our meeting
was finished in quiet.
OF my next meeting, which was in Salem,
on the 29,h, need not speak, us think you
have noticed it. Thut at Berlin, also, OIL
First day, the 3lst, has been described in
your columns. Next after that came the
meetings at Garfield, where spoke on the
evenings of the LIST aud I'd of the 9th month,
TO rather small, but very attentive audiences
assembled in The Court House. We have a
few staunch friends in that town, bur Anti
Slavery can hardly he said to thrive much
there, as yet. At Youngstown, where lee
tured on the evening of the Sd, in the Disci-
pies meeting house, the attendance was
good, but would have been much better,
was told, mad it not been time of very gen.
eral sickness in the town and neighborhood;
many families having barely members e.
nough in health to take care Of the sick.
On the 4th, small company in the AFTER
noon, aud much larger one in tho evening,

Emigration Of COlOrrd People 10 Jamaica.

Rev. J. Weston Of Lowell writes to the n.
York Tribune, recommending Jamaica as
place of refuge for our hunted colorcd citizens.
Mr.. Weston has himself resided several years in
the Island. The reasons assigned arc, that they
will there be recognised politically and socially
as equal. That the rnorai condition OF tho ll-
and rs equal to, ii not superior tn that Of this
country. There is an aaundencc Of unoccupicd
soil OF tic best quality. That there is a great
abundance OF unemployed water power that
might be used to great advantage for manufac-
lures and the arts, and that the administration
of the government is desirable.
Wm. Wells Brown writes to Frederick Doug
lass, from London, under date OF September
6rst, that he has recently had interviews with
West India Agents and proprictors, who arc not
only willing, but dcsirous to secure the cmigra-
ton of colorcd citizens to Trinidad and Jamai-
Gu. He says:
Knowing thnt there were many proprie-
tors aud agents dissatisfied with the Aboli-

ExpcurrvE Committee meets November 2
Mr.. Lewis.

On Saturday last, SAMUEL LEWIS, the Free
Soil Candidate for Governor, addressed large
audience in the Town Hall of Salem. Tho Hall
was well filed, and Mr.. Lewis. though labor
ing under indisposition spoke between two and
three hours, most ably and earnestly.
lie developed most distinctly the existing
partnership between Shareholders and the poll
teal parties. These parties justified the past
action of the government in regard to slavery,
Texas, Mexican War, New Mexico, Utah, Fu-
gitive Law, inter r-State Slave Trade,-and all
else. They were pledged to slavery for the fu
ture. They we're the government that had sus-
tanned and roud sustain the system Of slavery.
MeSrs. Yinton and Wood, were the Represcn-
tvcs of this government thus administered, and
therefore, the Representatives of slavery itself.
To vote for them, was to vote for slavery. In
dividual guilt could not be lost in tho multi
tude. 10 perpetuate the wrong, by the Ggri-
ey ofhe party, was as much aud as really a
wrong as to perpctuate it individually.
We liked the earnestncss with which he pres
sed home the question of individual responsible
lity. As we listened to tho unanswcrablc argu-
mcnt of Mr.. Lewis, mailing as he did the res
possibility of slavery upon erery man who voted
for these parties, it seemed wonderful to us, that
he did not see that the argument was as good
against himself, against Wing or Democrat,
80 far as the actual support was concerned
That it would lie with equal force against tho
government and the Union as against the laws
enacted for the same purpose by the govern
mcnt and in virtue OF the Union. We asl;
what can be clearer than his statement The
parties support slavery, therefore, to support
the parties is to support slavery. NNe ask, is it
not equally clear that the national Union au-
thorizng, the action oi these parties, equally sup
ports slavery with the parties themselves
therefore, to support the Union, as Mr.. Lewis
affirmed to us he did, is to support slavery.

A Word Of Truth.

II must be provoking TO Wings and Demo-
Gratis, that their natural allies, the slavehol-
ders, will sometimes tell unpleasant truths
and without any sort OF judgment us TO the
lime Of telling them, just now for instance
when they arc proving themselves sort of
cross, between the spaniel and the blood
hound, now upon their bellies fhwniiIg upon
their southern lords, then up nt their bidding
aud clntching Mt the throuts of their neigh
bors vieiug with each other tU see which
shnll exercise most alacrity ia hanging their
felow-ciizcns who show personal prefer
encc to The character of men above that of
dogs or hienus. When right in the midst Of
this humiliation, the shareholders have no
more breeding than to tnunt them with their
motives in the style of the quotation below.
II is from the Cdrolinidn published at Column
bin, the prison house TO which poor Bould-
ing was consigned. il is the gratitude CO.
lunhiu renders to her northern kidnappers.
WHAT IS THE Reason? Although not
n subject for merrnent, we confess To being
amused nj the sedulOis efforts which are
now making at the North to ferret out and
return hOine runaway slaves When no po-
litcul perils environed the country, the n ortll
was one huge abolition society, bent on rem
derimg insecure the tenure by which the
stakeholder held his property, and looking
upon one successful theft as II passport not
only TO popular favor, but rs II pre.eInption
right to seat in heaven. But no sooner do
the South hristle up nt tile ouirages they are
called to submit to, than, presto, every Nor
thern merchant aud politician, with anything
at stake, trnusmogrifies himself into police
officer, aud ruus here, there and everywhere
hunting up woolly heads, whom he willing
ly consigns TO that terrible slavery which
has been 70 graphically depicted MS existing
down South. Perhaps this conduct may re.
suit from the best possible motives, but such
sudden changes generally find their solution
in the pocket. 1t nay be SO in the present
case.

Light Wanted in AndOYer Theological
Seminary.

From Mr.. Fees Letter it seems that, in that
most benightcd of all our American heathcn-
dom. Andover Seminary light is called for
For theological students in a free State to send
for light on the corrupt nature ofthcir own pro-
slavery church. To send cropping in Ken
lucky dark ness for light upon their own Massa-
chusctt, footsteps, is a little odd. But then
they have the highland we pray they may
walk in IL.
These brethorn had better not let in too much
light, to any great extent arouse the indiffer-
cnce around them. II they shall open their
own eyes and make exposure of the corruption
of the church--and especially should they act
as though they believed it corrppt-withdraw
from its pollution--thcy would be viliicd as in
fdels--bc prescribed as were there predeces-
sors in Andover-ejectcd as were the students
of Lane Seminary.
No man in this land can be an aholitionist
and walk in fellowship with the pro-slavcry
church-and especially can no ono be such.
and live in fellowship with Andover Seminary
As well might he be an abolitionist in Chor.cs-
ton or Mobile. The ecclesiastical gibbct will "a
surely claim him in Andoycr or Hudson. OF

Synod OF The Western Reserve.

Since writing the notice of tho report of the
sequcnt number of Observer containing a report
of the proceedings of the Synod of the West
crn Reserve.
The Synod congratulated themselves OH the
quiet that is now succeeding the past agitation OF
their churches, and confidently expect peace
and prosperity. A Resolution was adopted re-
commencing efficient action on the temperance
question, and the following on the subject Of
slavery,

tory, some of whose members own slaves ard
rent them ON slave territory. And that mas
much as this Synod stands recorded unqualii-
edly anti-slarcry and can in no wise recede
from that position, il is not needful at the pros
ent time to elaborate and record additional reso-
lutions.
This resolution must have boen coined in the
same mint with the resolution of the Whig
party relative to the fugitive law. They re-
solved that it was not a whig measure, and
therefore Wings were actually at liberty to op.
pose the law or turn kidnappers as suited theii
taste. so the w. r. Synod has nothing to dc
with it, or with slavery. but only to be Anti.

Comforting the Churches.

In the last Ohio Observer, we notice tho an
nuaIreport of the state of religion in the Pres
bytery of rTrumbull. We looked it over with
interest, to learn the real state of reg gon among
the churches. The facts, we doubt not are cor
rectly reported. 1t is very near such report as
We should ourselves have madc-had We been
called upon Tor that service. Tho document il
signed by C. A. Boardman. We give synop-
sis.

ment, in the lack of revivals In the thinly at
tended prayer meetings, (though this is some
what redeemed by their regularity In the
stationary condition of the temperance cause.
In the lack of praycrfuncss the apparent dull :.
ness of the churches, (wc doubt not the dull
ness Is as real apparcrt,) in their diminished
numbers-and in the visitation Of severe and
desolating sickness.
This is indeed formidable array of discour-
agcmcnts. But the Rev. Mr.. Boardmon is not
to be upbraidcd as ono of little faith. Despite
them all, he finds increasing evidence of a
"more hcalthful, consistent, and profound state
OF fpety." These evidences are manifest in in
creased meckness, in tenderness OF conscience
in regard to what God would have them to do.
In the more permanent relation between the
churches and the ministry. In the erection of
t,co new meeting houses, in the fact that in the
dairying churches there is less work on the Sab
bath-and especially from the fact that the chur-
chcs are at length permitted to rest, from those
dcsolating prosecutions they have suffered from
the hands OF reformcrs.
We said we believed this truthful state
ment. We have but one suggestion to make,
viz that the Rev. Fathers erred in chasing
their "dullness," among the discouraging symp-
toms. 1t is evidently one of the indications of.
and ingredients in that "profouad piety, which
now adorns the churches" For what bu; dull

but would distinguish, between the piety here
commended and the practical humanity which
Jesus taught and lived. These men, whose
hearts have became so hardened by mamon, hy-
pocriey and self-deception, that they can sell the
poor for bread, and the needy for pair of shoes:
