ARREST FOR BARN-BURNING. Denison
Main, Willard West, and Dudley Bennett were
arrested last Tuesday, upon the charge of being
concerned in the late outrages in Stonington,
Ct, such as setting fire to barns and other
buildings. They were to have their trial to-
day. We trust that, if they are guilty, they
will meet with the punishment such diabolical
transactions deserve.

Symptoms OF the Decline and Fall Of Aboll-
ti0n In New York.

We desire to call the special attention of the
exclusive friends of the Union in the South to
the fact stated in Syracuse paper, that the no.
torious WILLIAM III. SEWARD, senator of the
United States for the State Of New York, and
leader of the Wing party, which is now in the
ascendancy in that State, voluntarily became
one of the suretes on all the bail bonds of the
Syracuse rioters indicted for nisdemeanor, in
raising mob and rescuing fugitive slave.
This is pretty. A law-maker Of the United
States Senate, voluntarily offering himself ns
surety for a score or two of law. breakers.
That the course pursued by this adroit politi-
clan was dictated by political motives, is beyond
all doub'. The election in New York is close
at hand, and the Abolitionists hold the balance
between the two parties Can any one doubt
after this, that abolition is on the decline and
will be soon extingushed! Another fact is
equally decisive. In convention Of the Silver
Grays, few days since, FRED DOUGLAS received
about one-ihird Of the votes for assemblyman.
We congratulate Senator Dowss, Messrs. CoBB,
TooMBs, STEPHENS, and others, who vouched
for the " soundness" of the North on the slavery
question, on these unanswerable demonstrations
OF their veracity.

We notice, under the head of Pensacola, O5.
tober 9th, the following article of news:
"Commauder PARKER had an interview with
the captain-general, who promised speedy trial
TO RopT. G. BREcKENRIDGE and Ransom BEACH,
who pere captured, Cw days ago, at sea by a
Spanish merchantmen, dc"
1t is to be pres imed these men were on board
some vessel belonging to the United States, and
of course, under the protection Of the American
flag; but il seems that flag is no protection now
Even Spanish merchantman can violate il at
pleasure. The PREsIDESr's proclamation has
denationalized every American vessel, and every
American citizen found at sea near the Island OF
Cuba, and recognised the right of search q un.
der suspicious circumstances" or no suspicion
at all. This is pleasant, and must be highl,
gratifying to the proud feelings Of people who
went to war with England to repel this yer,
right Of search, which is now, IT appears, con
ceded not only TO Spanish ships of war, but
Spanish merchantmen. Alas! for the stripes
and stars-they are no Longer any protection TO
Americans. 1t lis hoped that the British minister,
and the British scribes, will now be satisfied as
to the sincerity of our President after thus sane
tionng the right of search by Spanish merchant
men, degrading the national flag. and sacrificing
the national honor Probably, the next thing
we shall hear of, will be treaty with England,

The following article from the New York
Sunday Mercury contains matter for serious re-
We will take yet another lberty--thc liberty
of informing the Right Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher of this startling fact--yes, fact, that
the next grand and glorious reform that is to
agitate the world, will be reform Of the
church
The church must be smplifed back to that
condition of things which the Messiah intended
it to exist in, and its many wicked and shameful
superfluites given to the poor. 1t is absolutely
atrocious that hundreds of thousands of olars
should be WASTED upon the erection of build.
ing that thrusts its impudent and egoti-ti-al
steeples into the heavens themselves, and the
interior of whieh is so overlaid with ornament
and so aristocraticay set out, that the poor
who were always the special regard of the
lowly Christ, dare not venture into it. The
gospel is not now preached to the poor at all
at least, not in ninety nine churches out of a
hundred. The poor don't pay.
Christianity was not originally preached in
costly temples, nor were men hired and feted
and costumed to preach it,
OF all the miserable and humbuggng crafts
in the world, there is not one that is more mis-.
erable and more humbugging than prest-craft.
The Messiah took no pay for the healing and
comforting of the poor, neither did any one Of
his disciples. We can believe in the sincerity of
preacher who breaches as they did, without any
earthly ho of reward other toan might come
from success to their preaching.
We have said before in these columns, and
we shall repeat it, that the mere trappings of
our modern church would go far to the sustain
meut Of all our poor. When schools had no
existence--when the world was in darkness in
reference to morals and that which tended to
mans salvation here aud hereafter, churches or
places where many oould gather together to hear
the blessed truths of Christianity preached to
them, were Of incalculable value But now,
when every man can read and when morality
is taught us from thousand presses, gilded
churches are not wanted, but in their places
almshouses, hospitals, or asylums, to which the
fallen, the forsaken, the broken hearted, and the
repenting wretch may fly for sympathy and for
succor. These would be the churches after
Gods heart We never see one of these
Haunting, costly edifices, called churches, that
we do not regard them as lie and an insult to
the Supreme Being, the more especially if there
is attached to them handsome house, in which
dwells the sleek, perfumed preacher of the doc
trines of the lowy Jesus.

Mormon MoRALs--A discussion in going o

From Sr DoMINGo.-By an arrival yesterday
from Gonaives, with dates to the 10th instant,
we learn that an arrangement had been entered
into between the Ame :ican, French and English
authorities, to force the Emperor (Sououque)
to respect the truce towards the Dominicans.-
They had drawn up proposals for him to sign
and in the event of his refusing the three powers
would blockade his ports. The Emperor was
at Gonaives with about 5000 men, and was to
have given an answer to the proposals at that
place, but did not. He, however, promised to
do so at Port-au-P Prince, where he was going
