The American Bible Society procldims,
through one of its agents Ia New Orleans,
that it has no intention of circulating the
Scriptures among slaves Then its name
should be altered to the Anti-Airicnn Bible
Society," aud it ought to issue new code OF
instructions 10 its colporteurs, something like
this:-
Find out whether nny persons who arc
destitute OF the holy book are kept in bond
age or not, before letting them have it. II
such is their loi, tell them TO praise God for
llic light and liberty they enjoy in this blessed
Gospel land, TO obey their mnsters in all
things, TO abide peacefully in tho condition
wheroto they are called, and never to hunger
and thirst after any more righteousness than
their pious and benevolent overseers see fit
70 let into their minds. Wien you ure in
Pagan Africa or Asia, Pupish Europe or South
America, circulate the Scriptures among men
with black skins, men with red skins, men
With yellow skins, ucu with olive skins, men
with white skins. Break every statute thut
stands IN the way of the conversion of pre-
clous souls in those parts of tho world. But
when you are IN Protestant North America,
% exceedingly careful about circulating the
Scriptures among men with blnck skins, or
men of mixed black and white origin; be-
cause they are under curse pronounced by
Noah aud ratified by Jehovah, which curse
goes into effect the moment any of them get
This side of the Atlantic, but is changed to q
blessing OH those who rem ain in or are car
red back To their native cline. Remember
that the souls Of our fel,ow-crenturcs which
Ir,e encased IN ebony bodies are of very lri
siag value in tho eyes OF Providence ant
humanity, when they happen TO inhabit thi,
glorious republican land !; and that such paltry
souls rs they d0 possess are well enough
cared for 10y li,ld aud sanctiiied masters, and
lly wise aud wholesome laws. Therefore
keep every stntute which iorhids the redemp.
lion end elevation of Cenaans worthless
pos,erty in this part of the world. DO this
ahd thou shalt gain large contributions from
kidnapping and huDkeriZed churches, and oui
Society shall be greatly built up and hon.

Sabbath, on The Power of Progressive De.
velopment in Human Nature Tone, by the
way, of exceeding eloquence and beauty,
alluded to the fact on which our corresp0n,

After speaking of the progress of man in his
Tcihlloh 10 lne material forces OF the universe

tellectual development of tho race, in which
division OF his subject tho following passage
occurs:-[E Ed. Liberator.
Now see tho pains taken in Massachu
sctts, in New England, in the free States
with the popnlar education Of the people
The South stil makes il n crime to teach the
most ignorant of ncn. ST. Philip, Journey
ing from Jerusalem to Gaza, found an Ethi
opinn servant Gi Queen Candoce reading the
Hebrew Bible, but not understanding it, hay
ing no one TO guide him. And the Apostle
began, with the Scripture open before the
swartly blacl; man, TO preach unto him Jc

the first centuries. II scme modern Philip
journeyng from Connecticut TO Georgia

with some Ethiopian servant-not OF Queer

tho Spirit of the Lord would have to tax,
the Apostle away speedily, at least as ta
off as Azotus, or tho Sheriff would have hin
