traryl; they point, finally, to the great sudden
birth Of an Ant-Slayery Literature, to prove that

things be true they should put heart Of faith in
every American man and woman enabling each
one to fight more strongly on the side of Freedom

believe that Slavery is gradually gaining a larger

WOMAN WHIPPING.

The chivalry Of South Carolina, it seems. whip
,chae women well as black One of the Charles
ton papers has the following item of news:
a white woman, milliner, of industrious
habits, and having large family, was convicted
last week, at Charleston, of larceny, and sentenced
to be imprisoned two months and receive one lash
on the bare back"
The New York S,m very justly remarks:
Woman whipping is disgraceful and generally
cruel but in this case the Zone lash" did not
constitute the punishment-that was in the inde-
cent exposure, which the blow served as an excuse
to make. Such punishment may be lawful, but it
is none the less an outrage; yet, similar occur
rences are very common in the Carolinas, except
that the women are usually not white, or only
partly so.
The Governor of South Carolina has, rs later
accounts inform us, romitted this punishment of
the lash. They seem ashamed of it, and we'll they
may be. How long before they will be made
ashamed of their whippings of women unchanged
with crime? of women who are whipped without
the formaity OF any tral-who receive not one,
but perhaps one hundred lashes, as unbridled
power and passion may dictate.

DEAR SiRs; My father Samuel Lewis, has received

Anniversary, at Philadelphia, the Sd and 4th of
December.
Mr.. Lewis's health will prevent him from leaving
home at present. while severe attack Of illness
prevents him even answering your letter in the
manner yon suggested.
He wishes me, however, to say, that his opposi-
ton to Slavery and the spirit that sustains it is still
increasing and uncompromsing. lie never ex-
poets to in his exertions to Danish it from the
land, while he lives, or until it is driven entirely
from our borders. The time has come when chris
tians, whether in the organized church bodies or
out of them, must ii obedient to the faith, rally in
defence foods truth and humanity, in opposition
to oppression Of every kind and everywhere.

WM. LLOYD GARRIsoN-Dear Sir: have receiv
ed your letter of the 10th instant inviting me to be
present at the twentieth Anniversary of the form
alton Of the American Anti-Slavery Society, to be
held in Philadelphia, on the third and fourth De-
cember next For this distinguished and unmerit
ed honor please accept my sincere thanks. Most
gladly would be with you, and avail myself Of
the catholic invitation of your Society to occupy its
platform, "untrammeed in regard TO thought or
speech" Nothing could afford me more heartfelt
qualification than to imbibe afresh the resolue pur
pose aud martyr spirit Of great movement by
a friendly communion with its heroes and it is
therefore with unfeigned regret that find myself
precluded by other engagements from attending
your celebration.
The object of your Society is "the speedy and
eternal overthrow of chattel Slavery in our land"
Tho magnitude of such a work requires a faith in
those who undertake IL commensurate with its
achievement They must have faith in Providence.
in Rectitude in the triumph Of the Right through
the sincere strvings of men. All good causes lag
and languish through lack of this faith, through
lurking suspicion, which finds its way into our
hearts, that injustice is necessity under the gov
ernment of the Most High If we really believe
in the truths to which we subscribe in words IT,
in our judgment, could find but tone strong
thing in this earth, the Just thing the true thing :"
If we could fully realize that justice is omnpotent,
and that Slavery and every other refuge of lies
must perish because opposed to the benefcent or
dainments of the Universe and if men everywhere
would acknowledge and practically apply these
truths, humanity would be redeemed from its woes,
and the millenial day would be ushered in upon the
world. Here lies the grand difficulty with our
movement. There are even many professedly Anti
Slavery men, who, believe, are scarcely half con-
verted, who manifest no confidence in the power of
truths they profess by efforts or sacrifices for their
advancement and whose hearts falter and grow
cold when the signs of promise are all around their
pathway For myself, believe the Providence Of
God, ayailing itself Of the blindness and wicked
