say, that the good and the honest slave is as
contented and happy as the freeman.

AN HONEST ABOLITIONIST.


JENNINGS has shown us letter from lead
ing abolitionist in New York, enclosing DRAFT
for the needfd and ordering his name put down
for twenty chances in the MO RAFFLR He re-
marks that he is induced to do SO, in the hope
that the Lord will prosper his humble efforts
to redeem Shannon and Z" fair Eliza" from cru
Ell bondage. In event of success, he informs
Mr.. Jennings that he has, through an agent in
this city, made arrangements for their trans
portation to Liberia.
Now, that is what we call an honest abolition
il. lie makes no attempt to steal his neigh
boris property, but is willing to take his chance
and "trust to the Lord" We think his pros
poets for divine favor are much better than
those who, under the garb Of plilanthrophy,
would divest another of his inherited or invest
ed rights.
AS we doubt not the prayers Of all the abo-
ition saints Of the North will be enlisted in the
matter, We cannot incur the risk of anticipating
the action of Providence by prcsuming to doubt
Of their success.

Free Presbyterian.

This paper was established some three
years ago, at Mercer, Pa, under the editor
ship of Rev. Joseph Gordon, fhithiul and
thorough Abolitionist, who made il terror
to the Slavery polluted churches of our
country. Thoroughly Calvnistic in theology
as he was, Mr.. Gordon never endorsed the
dishonest and slandcrous in,pututions Of " in
fidelity" which those Churches are continu-
ally casting upon Abolitionists who cherish
n faith different from their own, with view
to counteract the effects likely to be produc-
ed by the truthful exposure of their compile
ity IN the guilt of slavehoding. The Amer
lean Anti-Slavery Society and its friend
were always treated by him with Christian
courtesy and respect. Some months ngo,
however, the Free PRESBYTERIAN was discon.
timed, aud its goodwill transferred to the
Christian Press at Cincinnati, of which Mr.
Gordon became one of the editors. The
new paper promised well ut first, but MIR.
Gordon having ceased to write for IL, II has
lately sunk itself TO the level of the popular
religious press by its Jesutiral attacks upon
Mr.. Garrison aud others who work with him
IN the Auti-SaveIy cause, and especially by
echoing the charge of infideliiy" brought
against them 10y the pro-slavery Church.
On this account, we are grntliied To learn
that the Free Presbyterian is to be revived
under It's former editor. II has long been
our belief that n thoroughly orthodox man
is not necessarily mean aud ungenerous to-
ward those whose theological sentiments do
not square with his own aud Mr.. Gordon
will, we trust, help us by his example to re-
tain conviction which the un Christian
conduct Of so many others is so well culcu-
lated to shnke.-.Ndi. n. S. Standard

Mr.. GarriSOn'S Position.

The pioneer of modern anti slavery or
nboltionsm is n marked man, nnd mnn OF
mark. His movements are characteristic.
lie has long been representative man. Un-
fortunately, the type of his mental aud senti-
mental nature is such as is found ndhering
10 many men who have nothing OF his sin
ceriiy Of character or integrity OF heart
This gives advantages TO those who take
pleasure in mnlignng the cause of Freedom
by abusing the men who advocate it.
With no sympathy with what is technically
called "infdeiiy" 10y churchnen; on the
contrary, with unwavering confidence IN the
Bible ns a Dyincly authorized aud every way
sufficient rule of fifth aud practice, we henr
,nnch of the clanor against "Garrisou's lnli-
leliIy" with very little sympathy for the
clamorers.
What there is of i, that is tangible, il the
fruit of their farming. Far worse, in other
directions, are the results Of the unnisiak-
able Atheism of the church respecting God,
and The trenchery of the clergy in reference
TO the interests of humanity. Men have
been placed 10y them in the position of bap-
iized henthcn. Aud sanclifed robbers claim
membership in the church. They have, by
tfeir "divinntons," bewitched the saints with
their sorceries, and poisoned the streams OF
ruth with their mixtures. The "intideliiy
of Garrison indeed!
While we regret the infdeity he exhibits
toward the Bible as an inspired book, another
theme has been ours for years. Aud that il
the iufidelity of The church-the practical
atheism OF the clergy.
Cingiug to the Bible--hclieyng it with
nll the tenacity of religious zenlOt-nnd
ready, to the extent Of our ability, TO defend
it at every point where attacked, when nee
sssary, we shall accord to Mr.. Garrison the
right to state his own position.-HesLeym.

llOsquitOes-MOdc Of Getting Rid OF Them.

The Chinese appear TO have some mode Of
driving away mosquitoes which places them
far in advance OF us, aud we ARE surprised
that there has been no introduction here of
some similar method. Mr.. Fortune, in trnv-
cling in the interior of China, found the mo-
squitocs almost intolerablc. In the hoat there
was no rest for him. lie was finally advised
to purchase some mosquito tobacco. The
Chinese take some hnmboo or other sub.
stunce, get the savings of some resinous
wood, Juniper tree or such, mix il with some
cOmhus,ille mutier, cover the stick with il
nearly to its extremity then hang ii up aud
hurn slowly. The olor is not unpleasant.
Tho snw.dust is sometimes put up in paper
aud burnt on the floor. Various species of
worlnwood are used, and the stems and plants
are dried and mixed with some nflamuble
substance, The mosquito has an aversion
to these substances, aud whenever they ure
set on Are, the insect leaves. We should
hnve this introduced for our summer uSe.-

THE ExcITrNo SLAVE CASE OF Yesterday
On Monday morning last. two gentlemen from
the South, Major Choutard and Judge Pckney
took rooms at the BuTnet House. Four slaves
attended them. During the day, two Of the
slaves, without saying a word to their masters,
left, and have not since been heard of. Their
masters took no measures for their rccspture,
and intended to continue their route yesterday,
morning, with the two remaining servants
Just as they were getting ready to leave, one
Of the Deputy shcrifs served a writ on Major
G., to appear before Judge stulo, to answer
charge OF forcibly dctuining two negro persons
as slaves.
Their departure was necessarily postponed,
and the parties repaired to the Court House.
Tho slaves, upon being interogated by the
Court whether or not they wished to leave their
master, Major Choutard, replied, " We will die
before we will leave our master" The Judge
dismissed the case, Iemarkng that the negroes
had right to go and do as they pleased The
court room was dcnsely crowded and much
excitement prevailed. Tho parties leave on
their trip to-day.-Cin. Gas.

The Peculiar institution.

In an obscure corner, and the obscurest
type Of The .NeW Orleans Delta, appears the
following:

Mrs. Harris. This was n case in which the
plaintiff sought TO recover her freedom She
declares she was legally Inunumitled in lS4O,
and continued to enjoy her freedom ill near
the beginning Of 1915, when che was seized
and put in Jail hy defendant, Lamhetli, aud
afterwards carried to his plantation. where
she has been compelled 10 work, until Mnrr'l,
1852, when she was sent to this city, She
sues to recover her Freedom SO GEO damages.
md sos per month since she has been detuln-
ed in defendants service. On hearing The
case, Judge Larue gave Judgment, in decree
ing the plaintiff TO be tree, but allowed no
damages or wages"
IL is difficult to characterize the monstros-
ity of such proceeding as this. Here is n
free American woman, seized as slave in
lS45, aud Kept in bondage eight years on
plantation. Enabled finally, hy what means
the above court and bold statement does moi
explain to get hearing in a Court of Justice,

tended master has no rgh: over her, or IN

course Mr.. Lqubel is an eslmable citizen
and the upright and learned Judge gives no
damages to womln for being deprived H.

There is no popular sin which the pro slavery
Church Of this country will not justify or ex.
cuse in the occupant of high official station,
provided only TINT he is attentive to tho out
ward forms which that Church has prescribed.
Sometimes she will canonize an influential man
and gloss over the lowest personal vices, in
return for an empty and hcnrtless compliment
to the power Of Christianity, while at the same
time she will hurl her anathamas at the head
Of reformer, however pure his life, who will
not pronounce her shbboleths. Our popular
divines arc always running after men in author
ity, and eager to appropriate to the furthcrancc
of their own sectarian plans any marks of ex-
ternal Difference for the forms of religion " hich
they may exhibit. We have an example Of
this in the following paragraph, communicated
to the Christian Mirror by IA Pastor" and
eagerly copied by other religious papers:

Southern Morals and Northern TOadyism.

A friend in Washington county, Ohio, has
sent us copies of the four articles below. The
first, appears to be an original advertisement,
of the legitimate business of Jos. JENSINes, at
New Orleans. Then follows q letter from
precious specimen Of a toad -cater at the North
tho reply of Jennings, which must have been
very gratifying to the dough facc-and finally,
the sentiment of the Nep Orleans P,eas in re-
lation to the whole transaction.
The correspondence, and the remarks Of the
Press, below, come in the shape of a show-bill,
evidently got up to invite the patronage Of the
scrupulous, whose scruples would be likely to
be removed by the aptness of an "honest abo-
litionist" to participate IN such business
The whole affair deHes comment.
The friend who sends us the copy, says -
:" wonder if tho scamps South, think that abo-
itionists arc what these papers make them out }

for success = and then Transporting the un-

And then she's fully guaranteed in title, all the

You'd say the price for all these things were

To what Hi:a-yellow girl, and all her virtues

Not the " Famed Countess" has a grace more

But Lizzy's too much modesty to lift her leg

you say "your feelings are enlisted on behalf
