surnnce was given by Government to add
additional efficiency TO tho preventive mea-
Erues which had been some tim0 in force
and in consequence thereof there was great
er stringency both on the coast of Africa
and the coast of Brazil. These measures
had been attended with great stccess-al-
most more rapid success than could have been
expected. On the coust OF Africa the slave
trade might be said to be almost cxIinguish-
cd for the moment, north Of the line, with
tile exception OF Jeagas and Porto Nueyo,
aud in these two places the British cruisers
had spoiled their trade, and the parties who
were formerly employed in the slave trade
were commencing dealing in palm oil aud
other products OF tie country. Steps had
been taken for the cultivation of cotton, and
specimens had been brought to this count
ry, and submitted to the Chamber Of Com

and one which would fetch good price in

a few weeks ago, was published in many
oil tho papers, an account of the condemnc-
ton Of the Count Guiceiardini, to six months
imprisonment by the Tuscan Government,
for reading n chapter in the Gospel of st.
John, to private company in his own house.
The crime of the reading, and tho comments
with which it was accompanied, consisted in
their evident tendency to "inspirc sentiments
contrary to the apostolic Roman faith" The at
tontion of tho community was justly and indig-
nantly directed to this revival Of Roman pcrse
cution.
Rov. Jesse MeBride, a clergyman in regular
standing in the Wesleyan Church, was few
months ago condemned by Court of North
Carolina TO pay fne-stand for hours in q
pillory-roccivc twenty lashcs upon his bare
back-and be imprisoned in the County jail for
one year. And what good Christian reader was
his crime? Why with manifest intent to in
spire sentiments contrary to those of the Apos-
tolic-Amcrican slaveholding Church-he gave
copy OF the Ten Commandments to ',chite'
eve arc particular about tho complexion, for
what business have black folks with tho COM
mondmonts,) woman of said State And for
repetition of the offence, the law provided that
he should be hung without benefit of clergy.
Finding the law inefficient, or thinking the
penalty quite too trivial for so hcinous an Of
fencc-Thc Legislature of North Carolina, last
winter amended it, by making the penalty, for
the distribution of incendiary publications.
Death Tithom benefit Of Clergy for the FIRST OF
FENCE. Since Mr.. McBride's expulsion from
the State, his co-adjutor, Rev. Adam Crooks,
who has for the last four years been faithfully
laboring in North Carolina, as a Wesleyan min
ister-has been seized and thrown into prison.
where he now lies awaiting the tender mcrcics
OF North Carolina law,--sta;utc-or Inch as
his enemies may adjudge the case to require.
What particular offence is laid to his charge,
we know not. He has doubtless blasphemed
the Molock of Slavery, whom North Carolina,
and this whole nation worship. If he has given
the Ten Commandments or tho Sermon on the
Mount to some roor sandhiller, he must suffer
death and no hope of reprieve.
We give the faets-we are incapable of COM
mcnting upon the astounding injustice-and
terrible hypocricy of North Caro- Ina, and her
moro northern confederates, who sustain this
wiekedness and yet compass sea and land to

Union, there is no freedom of religious opinion,
no freedom to worship God-no freedom to sue

There is little time to loose. Apart from the

Rev. Jesse Mcbride,

Mr.. Mcbride has spent the last week In this
vicinity. lie has spoken several times in Sa-
lcm to full houses of attentive listeners. A fu-
gitVo for his life from his field of Missionary la
bors among the heathen of North Carolina, he
exposes with plainncss and fidelity tho guilt Of
the Church in fellowshping SHAREHOLDERS, and
urges all churches to treat men-steaers as tho
guilty Of at least as great an enormity as arc
horse thieves or any other class of habitual Of
tenders. Mr.. McBride's earnestncss and fidcli-
ty will secure him tho respect of all-and ena-
bic him to accomplish much for the Slave. Ho
says that the responsibility of his expulsion
rests manly with the clergy-thati it would not

western Anti-sIavery Fair.


From the history of the last two years, Il
is evident that there has been no period in
the Anti-Slavery enterprise, that has deman-
ded more persevering activity than the
present.
When Slavery, alarmed by the agitation
that has been created in the public mind
against il, has mouopoizcd the Federal gov
ernment, and enlisted the greater part of the
priests aud politicians in its defence and
while the great body of the northern people
either advocate the enforcing Of the iniqui
tious fugitive slave law, or regard it with
profound Indifference it is of the utmost inn
poItancc TINT Abolitionists should be until
ring in their oNertions, and unceasng in their
efforts to eradicate the monster curse of sa-
very from the world.
But in order TO effect any object, it is ne
cessary to use the requisite means, and tho
undersigned believe that Fairs are very effec-
tive as a subordinate instrumentnlity.
They not only assist greatly in procuring
the necdiul pecuniary means TO prosecute
the cause, but they bring numbers of per-
sons who are opposed aud those who are in
different within an Ant.Sayery influence
during the time they are held and the So
cial Intercourse connected with them, serves
to keep uIiye the zeal and energy Of those
engaged in them.
We therefore earnestly invite all persons,
without regard to any distinctions, TO unite
with us in holding a FAIR in SALEM COM
menceng oil the 3lst Of December and con.
tinuing through the following day. Wohope
there will be variety of articles prepared
suitable for New Years presents.
10 the women we would say send us
every variety Of wearing apparel and all
kinds Of fancy articles. To the Farmers, let
rics, aud to the Mechanic and Artisan givc
us articles Of your hnndiwork. In short,
every thing thut IL useful or beautiful, that
will subserve the wants or please the fancy
will be most thankfully received. The funds
arising thercffom shall be devoted TO tho
dissemination of fAnti-Slavery Truth, through
the agency of the Western Anti Slavery
Society.

] make these inquiries to show that the is
sue made by the editor of the Morning Ad-
yertiser, instead of relating TO absolute us-
tice aud eternal right, is shadowy, ntangi-
BILE, and abstract, and therefore ndmits of the
largest catholiciiy of spirit aud tue widest
scope for speculation, without affecting what
is really true aud vital.
What we complain of he says, and la
ment in Mr.. Garrison Is, that, in the udsooa-
cy of tho holy enterprise in which he has
embarked with his whole heart and soul, he
should, on so many occasions, gratuitously OBJ
triihc his peculiar views on religious sub
jecis. Why cannot he, in Ills capacity of an
Anti-Slavery advocate, put his theological
notions in abcyunce
What complain of is, that one so evident
ly fairmindcd rs himself Should grossly mis-
represent me IN this uunncr, through false
impressions derived from hostile source ;
for the reverse of what he alleges is the ex-
act truth. 1t is not true that have on
many occasions,' or on any OCCASION, gra-
tuitously oblruded my peculiar views on re-
ligious SUBJECTS on the Anti-Slayery plat
form, or 10 any discussion of the question of
Slavery. No man has beon--no man could
have bcen--more scrupulous than have felt
ngainst mixing up extraneous matters with
hS huu-SiuNefy movement. 4 nave always
resisted any effort of the kind come from
what quarter il might, aud been eager to
take by the hand men of every variety of re-
| ligious opinion, in order to effect the ennn-
cpation of those held in bondage. Though
deeply interested in many other questions,
have given myself to the cause Of tho slave
with steadfastness, fidelity, and complcto-
ness, which have never been excelled on
either side of the Atlantic.
As for putting my theological notions in
abeyance III my capacity as an Anti-Slavc-
ry advocate, having always done so, have
nothing TO alter in this respect. For more
than twenty years, have been identified
with the Liberator as its editor-a journal,
he it ever remembered, which has never been
the organ ofuny Society, but published in
dependcnily on my own responsibility
! have yet TO write the first article, setting
forth my Theological notionsr Hence, the
charge that have gone out of my way 'un-
necessarily TO obtrude them upon the public
is as far from the truth as possible. Il is the
outcry ofthose in this country, who steal the
livery of the court of heaven to serve the
devil in.' For tho mischief TO the Anti
Slavery cause which has grown ont of the
wicked misrepresentation of my religious
views, whether at home or abroad, by its
open enemies and pseudo friends, let the
responsibility rest where il belongs

BENJAMIN r. CURTIs.--The Boston
Transcript thus speaks of BanjamiE Rand
Curtis, who has been appointed Judge OF
the Supreme Court i'll the place of the
late Levi Woodbury.:
Mr. Curtis is young man, bur little
more than forty years Of age; and the de-
sire to appoint younS man, who might
have the reasonable prospect of long
judicial term, has induced the President
TO pass over the claims of many distin-
guished gentlemen, from among whom
he would otherwise have been pleased
with the opportunity Of selecting the oc-
cupant of SO eminent position.
The professional attainments and the
high professional qualifications of Mr.
Curtis are too well known to the bar, not
only of New England. but of the nation,
to make it necessary more than to allude
10 them. The early and decided stand
taken by MIR. Curtis, i'll support of the
constitution and the laws, on a recent
important occasion, and the national and
conservative disposition that he has man
ifested whenever and wherever he has
been prevailed upon 10 mingle IN public
affairs, have also constituted claim for
this distinguished honor that could not
be overlooked by the Administration.

The New York Express of the I'd IN
stanl in speaking of the fugitive slave
case. referred to else where, says:
Syracuse and Buffalo, in this State,
were both agitated by fugitive slave
eases, yesterday, 1t will be seen. AT But
falo, there was considerable excitement,
and an effort was made to raise the Gus
tomary disturbance. Happily it did not
succeed. The slave was sent back to
Virginia, where he belongs. Al Syra-
cuse, the peculiar friends of the negro
managed to get up quite formidable dis
.urbance, which resulted in :he rescue Of
the alleged slave. Syracuse, during the
summer past, has been the headquarters
of the worst sort of Abolitionists and
Abolitionisnl; and that such proceedings
should happen there as those recorded
this morning, is therefore not to be Won
dered at. We sincerely commiserate its
peace-loving Inhabitants. that their city
