Asa specimen of the work, we give the ac-
coupt of the patriot Brutus, acting as the judge
If his sons, detected in u conspiracy against
the liberties of their country.
aThe day of trial came. Brutus sat upon the
Indictment seat. One by one, the ENJOYS the
mobiles and his own sons, were brought before
him. The testimony was carefully produced
and weighed The ENJOYS, the mobiles, and his
own sons, were found guilty of the charges al
,eced against them; and Brutus, with firm
vo;ca sentenced them all to scourging and to
dootb The lctors Immediately seized and
hound them for punishment; one by one their
hacks were numerically beaten by the rods,
and their heads struck off by the fatal axe.
When in turn. the sons of Brutus were brought
forward 10 suffer the sentence, the people in
compassion for their youth, and willing to spare
the anguish of their father, murmured In their
behalf and sought to have them pardoned
but Brutus was inAexible; the bosom Of magis-
trate was no lodging place for the feelings OF
father, and waving his hand in disapproval oil
their wishes, he ordered the lictors to proceed
Without leaving his seat, or moving his eyes
from the bloody scene, he watched the faithful
executioner of the law; and the headless bodies
of his own sons passed in turn from the hands
of the lictors.
The execution being over, Brutus still seated
on his throne, caused the slave who had dis
covered the conspiracy to be brought before
him. Exhibiting him to the people, he spoke
&C the inestimable benefit which he had confer
rcd upon the State, and exhorted all, in imita-
ton of his example, to have Jealous eye for
the public good; then taking the vindicta or
rod he seized the slave, struck him on the
back and Immediately letting him 60, exclaim-
ed i pronounce this man free The lictors
forthwith took him, shaved his head, presented
the cap of liberty and entered his name among
the freemen of Rome ).

AN OVERLOOKING REVENUE.

The importations threaten us with surplus
revenue of S2O,OOO,OOO by December next,
which, strange as it may sound to say so, is a
public calamity now felt by our banks and
merchants, who saw in our city Sub-treasury,
yesterday, S7,4oO,OOO, the largest amount ever
held there. The amount has become 80 alarm

sultation, has promised, in some form or other,

We hope Congress will prescribe the proper
course, both for depicting the Treasury, and
preventing plethora hereafter. Let it take
measures to pay off the National Debt, and en-,

consumers to raise money, which, when raised
must tempt to extravagant expenditures!

from Europe, her dates from Liverpool being

"The London Times on the authority Of its

act towards concentrating an Empire will, in
all probability take place about the 18th OF

CLINTON HOTEL, ALBANY, Od. s, 1862

CLINTON HOTEL, ALBANY, Od. d, 1882.
To the Editor Of the National Era.
The great centre of interest in this city, at
present, is the Congregational Convention, now
holding its sessions in the Congregational
Church of which DR. Palmer is the pastor the
only church of that denomination in the city
There are probably present, this morning, more
than six hundred delegates; two hundred came
in last evening by one train from Boston and
the East Rev. Drs. Beecher, Storrs, Cleave-
land, Hopkins, Halves, Bacon, Nc, are among
the members The sermon last evening was
by DIR. Halves, of Hartford, Connecticut from
the words of Paul, For | am determined TO
know nothing but Jesus Christ and him cruel
fed" The main subject of the discourse was
nm explanation Of the meaning and the grounds
OF the Apostles determination, showing that
success in the conversion and sanctifcation OF
men can never be expected by any other
preaching than that which makes the cross OF
Christ the main theme. He declared that the
churches and the ministry needed only to be
deeply imbued with the spirit of the Apostle
IN respect to his determination to preach only,
IN order to their success and prosperity He
repudiated the idea that Congregationalsm
was IN any sense sectarian, and asserted that
sectarianism could have no place with Congre-
gationaits The framework around their
churches was very frail and simple, needing
no hierarchy and no courts of appeal to aid
in binding them together. They had no ma
chinery for propagandism. and no polty for
sectarianism nothing but the unity Of the
Spirit and the bond Of peace They fall back
OF necessity upon the truth and the Spirit of
God He reminded the Convention that this
was the first general meeting of Congregation
allsts which had been held during a period Of
more than two hundred years; that everything
depended upon the spirit by which the meeting
should be conducted; that the eyes of the
world and the eye of the Master was upon
them and that the Saviour expected their
charities 10 be as wide ~ the world He dep
recated the introduction of anything that
should lead to a separation from their Presby-
tsrian brethren in their action at the West,
and closed with the expression Of the hope that
individually and untedly they might 10 con-
duct the exercises of the Convention as 10 meet
the appreciation Of their Master and that.
while life should last, they might maintain
those great principles which they had received
from the Bible, and which had been transmit
ted from their ancestors, and might send them
onward 10 all future time, to save and bless
those who should live when they were dead.
The exercises Of the evening were closed by
a most impressive prayer by the venerable DR..
Beecher, who seems standing just on the shores
Of time and ready soon 10 use an expression

CONVENTION OF CONGREGATIONAL CHURCHES

The Convention of Congregational churches,
held at Albany last week, of which a CORES
pendent gives us some account, had under dis
cussion the subject of slavery in connection
with missions, and at last agreed unanimously
on the following resolution:
" Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Con-
venton, it is the tendency Of the Gospel, where.
ever it is preached in its purity, to correct all
social-evls and to destroy sin in all its forms
and that it is the duty of missionary societies
to grant aid to churches in slavehoding States,
in the support of such ministers only as shall
preach the Gospel and inculcate the principles
and the application of Gospel discipline, that
with the blessing of God it shall have its full
effect in awakening and enlghtening the NOR
al sense in regard to slavery, and in bringing
to pass the speedy abolition of that stupendous
wrong: and that whenever a minister is not
committed so to preach, he should, in accordance
with the directions of Christ, in such cases, de-
part out OF that city,

FREEDOM IN CALIFORNIA.

The monstrous law passed a few months ago.
IN California, making provision for the seizure,
as fugtiyes from service or labor, of persons
brought into the State as slaves before the
adoption Of the State Constitution, has lately
been enforced by the Courts, in a case of which
an account may be found on our fourth page.
ihe law and decision are alike an outrage on
common sense and the Constitution of the
state and serve TO show the strength Of the
pro-Slavery sentiment there We occasionally
receive subscriptions from that State, but we
wish we could multiply them hundred fold.
