A PRESBYTERIAN ELDER.

A letter writer of one of the papers, giving an
account Of some slaves in Kentucky and their mas
ter, says:
"The only iron collar / ever saw upon a slave
was on n little boy about ten years old, belonging
to an elder Of the Second Presbyterian church Of
Louisville, Ky. This collar / saw upon him hun
dreds of timcs,-ncvcr saw him without It was
a dcvish invention, with projecting front and
back, whore thet two somicirclcs which formed it
met and were rivitcd A half hoop made of an
iron rod about an inch in circumference, stood up
over his head higher than he could reach like The
handle of basket, and when it was fastened at
each side formed the other projection, which made
it appear impossible that he ecoud lie down without
resting the weight of his head upon his COLLAR
lie wore it publicly, and | never heard it limited
that it contrary to the doctrine or usage ofho
Presbyterian Church. This mans slaves, and ho
had number of them, were so far rs / could learn
entirely without moral or mental culture"
Perhaps this treatment was praeticed on account
of the manner with which the Israelites treated
their Hebrew slaves. The account will be found
in Deuteronomy chapter XIV. verse l7;-"Then
thou shalt take an awl, and thrust through his car
unto the door, and he shall be thy servant forever"

We understand that the revised copy of the Bible
leaves out all forms of barbarity and institutes
midncss and equality; no superiors; no servants,
all are to be represented FREE and EQUAL, neigh
borly and kind
| God is no where spoken Of as being an "angry
God" "revengcful God" &c. in any part of tho
now Bible. Every thing is changed to mildnoss,
and admonshes people to live as they are expected
to do in Heaven. One family, one faith and one
God. tits said to be great improvement on tho
old Biblc.-Ky. Neos.
JUICE MCLEAN AND PRoSIAvERY. Nc
Leans decision in the of MeQuoery fills all tho
devotees of the fugitive slave bill with gadness-
One of our exchanges expresses this feeling thus
at is we'll know THAT Judge Mclean ia not pro
slavery man'--his sympathies have long been with
the slave" To this would be amusing, if those
who talked in this way seemed less confident in
/ what way they say. We know that some years a.
CO. when the Wing party was the "only true libor-
r ty party" sort of anti-slavery reputation was
talked up for Judge Mclean by portion of the
Wings, who had an eye to him a candidate for
the Presidency. But what has he ever done to
warrant itG 1t would bedifhcult to show that ho
ever stood as we'll on the record as Vice President

y ENGLAND TIRED OF PROTECTING the SLAVE TRADE.
V An important report has just been laid before
|. the British House Of Commons, by special COM
> mttee slavery and the slave trade, an abstract
n of which we find in the London Times The testi-
g mony taken by the committee shows the fact to bo
r notorious that save-trading vessels fitted out
~ in Cuba under the guns of the Spanish mcnofwar;
that great facilities are offered to the importation
of negroes; that when once landed they are called
natives and all attempts to trace and berate them
s. are commonly defeated and those abuses have in
creased in proportion to the brbes accepted by the
e Cuban Government. Up to 1910 the Captain Gen
IS oral received half dollar for every slave imported
v but Gen. ODonnell, in lS43, succeeded in raising
70 this fee to three doubloons head and with the
If exception of General Conca, who refused the bribc
" the same blood-monoy has since been leviod by
e every Governor of the island. Nor docs the crime
stop here The involved interests in this trade arc
1t mainly those of high and mighty personages a,
