FALSE TEACHERS.

The last American Missionary contains the re-
port of colporter who is distributing relgiousand
Anti-Slavery books in Kentucky. Among the OBJ
stacles in the way of the spread of Anti-Slayery
sentiment he complains especially of the proslavery
influence Of emigrants from the Northern States
and among them ministers. That our northern
states should send out missionaries TO aid the slave
holders is disgracefu to us, but not at all wonder
full after the home efforts for slavery that this class
of persons have made. The writer says:
It is unfortunate for the Church. and for suffer
ing humanity, that ambitious men and ministers
coming from free States into the borders of Ken
lucky, where there arc but few slaves, and where
they treated with degree of humanity, express
their surprise that the slaves look we'll that they
hear 80 little cracking of the whip, &c. and to bt
popular, advocate the pro-slayery doctrine and i
Bible readers, they seek to justify the position by
referring to good old Abraham, and saying that h6
had great many slaves, and was justified by Goo
himself; and If we are as good as Abraham tina
will do. Thus, instead Of being shining lights
and engaging heartily for the cause of Christ anC
suffering humanity, they pevert the word of God
become stumbling blocks, and prevent those from
entering that would go into the kingdom.

GEN wAsHINGToNs SURVIVING SLAVE

An old negro aged l24 years, formerly slave
of General Washington is about to be taken to the
Worlds Fair exhibition. 1t has been proposed to
place him in some elevated position, near box for
the reception Of contribution to the Washington
National Monument The venerable centennarian
will doubtless attract much attention, and may
contribute thus TO the accomplishment of the patr-
otic undcrtaking.-a L0uiS Democrat.
The above suggestion is not received with favor.
Some Of the Southern journals scout the proposition
The Lexington (Ky.) Express is surprised at this
proposition 10 collect funds 10 erect monument to
Washington. lie says: Sooner let the work be
abandoned, the superstructure torn down, the ma
terials sold at auction, and the proceeds applied 10
to the founding Of National Menagerie, a National
Circus, or the erection Of Concert Hall for Sable
Hqrmonists, than let it be spread upon page--ono
of the black pages Of American hisiory-that
American freemen compelled to resort TO the
exhibition Of an old Stare to build monument "a
GEoRcE WAsHINeToN, who gave freedom TO a whole
nation" The Express makes another proposition
Should the poor old slave be successful in collect
ing funds, let them be his own while he lives L
anything remains at his DEATH let him dispose Of i
in the emancipation and colonization of one of hi
own race"
II is worthy Of note that the contributions to In
Worlds Fair at New York from the Southern State
are exceedingly meagre. This cannot be attribute,
to any lack Of inventive genius at the South tn
cause must be looked for elsewhere.-NdtiOna

THE NIAGARA KIDNAPPING CASE.

Some two weeks since, Patrick Sneed, n colorcd
man. was seized at the Cataract House, as a lugi-
tive murderer from Georgia. With his rescue from
the kidnapper and his subsequent recapturo, our
readers are familiar. His recapture was greatly
aided by the charge that he was a murderer, and
not fugitive slave.
lie was, however, brought before Judge Sheldon
of Buffalo, on writ of lIabeas Corpus, and the
whole charge found to be but villianous plot, TO
take him into slavery. The papers on which the
charge was based, were found to be forgerios and
Sneed was of course discharged. What has be-
come Of the villains who seized him, we don't know
We only know that if there was any justice in the
land, they would soon take up their lodgings al
Auburn or Sing Sing. But it suits our government
better to punish if tcan, the Jerry rescucrs rather
than these bloodhounds. 1t has a native sympath,
with these.
1t seems this charge had been previously presen
ted in the winter of 1910 and 80, against Sneec
and Adam Mendenha'l, half brother, in Newark
in this State. They were then successful in takin,
Mendenhall back to Columbia, S. G., TO his master
Edwin DeLeon, who says he is entirely innocent 0
the crime charged against him, and for the crim
he has never been tried, but has been held as
slave. Patrick was moro fortunate on that occasion
as he has also been the present. He is now sal
in Canada Sneed's personal appearance is said I
be that of a white man.

CONVENTIONS IN NETWORK.

In addition to tic conventions, the proceedings
of which occupy our outside, the New York Wo-

which was pretty numerously attended.
The specimen we give of the proceedings of the
Convention Of the exclusives for the first day, is a
pretty fair specimen of the whole if we carry along
with it the idea of progress. Tho confusion, dsor-

exceeded those of the first. The Tribune summa-

WHAT WE CAN DO.

Senator Chase, in recent speech at Syracuse,
pointed out the anti-slayery work we can do rs
Of the General Government, as follows ;
"Our first business is to declare our own personal
to refuse to do anything which
degrades our humanity, or any mans humanity
Our next is to relieve ourselves of all responsibility
for this matter of slavery Docs any man doubt
that Congress may relieve us of slavery in the
District Of Columbian Nobody. We can remove
it, | know it is said that we cannot. have heard
of a member of Congress, when asked by his
constituents, why they did not abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia, replied: "Don't you
know that the District of Columbia has a Legisla-
ture of its own, and that it would be unconstitu-
tional to interfere with the legislation of that
Legisaturop (Laughter,) But we are too wise
for that, gentleman, nowadays. We know that
slavery there is rcpugnant to the express terms OF
the Constitution.
"Then there is the coast-wise slave trade, which
gathers up its victims from Virginia and tho
Northern slave States; and from Alexandria, Nor
folk Richmond and other cities, daily sent fortl
the miserable creatures OF slavery upon lhe south
ern plantations. The ships which arc freighteC
with them are registered and controlled by our laws
We can repeal those laws.
''Then there is the sale of men, women an'
children, under DEGREES issued out OF the Courts

votes Of the free States. If you can exempt tn

Woman's Prosnects.
Gentleman,

The following original views on this subject are
from late editorial in the Tribune:
Needle work has hitherto been the main resource
Of the thousands disqualified by delcacy of nurture
lragity OF muscle for rough homework; and needle
work is at its last gasp The needle is sure soon
to be consigned to the lumber-room, wherein
grandmothers great Wheel little wheel, loom and
swiits, are now silently mouldering Twenty years
more may elapse (though we think not half so many
will before the revolution will have been completed
but the sewing of long, straight seam, otherwise
than by machinery, is, now, mistake, an
chronism and the hngerpled needle, though it may
be retained few years longer for button-holes and
such fancy work, has but short lease left That
garment was sewed entirely by hand, without
the aid of machinery, will be told as a marvel to our
grandchildren, and received by them with wondering
Incredibly
The stdtu quo, therefore, with regard TO woman S
position is simply impossible. She must advance or
sink back into state of Oriental debasement and alb
jet dependence A wider scope must be accorded to
cr racuries, sie might better nave been born With
out them. Society must either secure her opportu-
nifty of earning Independent subsistence or shield
her from famine and shame with the protecting tho
degrading mantle of Polygamy and virtual Slavery.
The movements of our time, therefore, looking to
a wider sphere of Industrial training, and effort for
Woman, are impelled by terrible necessity. Place
is made for her in the studio of the artist the shop of
the mechanic, behind the counter of the merchant,
&C., because she cannot exist in the equvocal posi-
ton to which Western Civilization has raised her.
Unless she is to be the substantial equal of Man out
of wedlock, she cannot be his equal in that relation
If she must marry to live, she will soon come to
marry whoever will ensure her a living any requir-
ment her part of fitness sympathy in the relation
must be regarded absurd and impractcable fas-
tdiousness. This point attained the assumption that
he who can support half dozen wives has a-perfect
moral, and should have an unobstructed legal, right
to marry that number, is not TO be resisted. Nay
assuming marriage to be the sole condition wherein
Woman may live usefuy and worthily, the polygam-
list becomes public benefacor especially of the de-
pendent sex. THE Womans movement of our day,
thoughtully considered is, in spite of the vagaries
of some of its advocates, essentially conservave-a
change of position to meet vital though noiseless
change in the industrial and social elements of Wo-
allotted sphere, and such should be regarded
and respected.
