approve of this policy, his conduct is easily ex-
plicable: otherwise, we must consider him
willing to strain a point to please the Admin
istration. From other indications, we sppre-
bend that he Is under the illusion that this pro-
slavery propaganda, ompromise-nullifying
Administration, is Democratic one, aud is
rather DESTROYS of supporting it We hope
the apprehension may be groundless.
1t is deplorable, when gentlemen of char
acter and position are led astray by the
prestige of name, when they are drawn
into the sacrifice of consistency and princi-
pie by supposed party-necessity. An Ad-
ministraticn which has suffered itself to be-
como the mere organ and instrument of o
Class, has no claim to popular support. An
Administration that has committed itself to
thorough Pro-Slavery policy, has no claim to
the respect Of the opponents of Slavery An
Administration, covered all over with tho in
fanny of the Nebraska outrage, must reflect dis
grace and entail ruin upon all who attempt to
give it aid and countenGncs. Let liberal
Democrats, as they value good conscience,

INTERESTING DEBATE.

The highly interesting proceedings in the
the day Of their occurrence, Will be found in
our present issue.
MIR. Sumner, as viii be seen, had the rare
good fortune of achieving two victories in q
single day. First, in the dignifed disdain with
which he treated ribsld assault; and, second
ly, in the constitutional colloquy with Mr. Ben
jamin. The latter gentleman admitted that
the laws Of the Southern States which impris
ons colored citizens OF tho North, are uncon-
stitutionalI This is an important admission,
coming from Southern Senator, and does him
great honor. But when he was pressed by MIR
Sumner to say whether he would vote for law
to enforce the constitutional guarantee in this
particular, he hesitated, and in fact declined to
answer. He thereby forfeited any right to de-
mand reply to his interrOgatory addressed to
the Senator from Massachusetts,
The aptness of Mr. Summers retort will be
better appreciated when it is understood that
the clause for the rendition Of fugitives from
labor, and that which guarantees equality Of
privileges to citizens of the several States, are
in the same section of the Constitution They
stand precisely upon the same footing, and must
stand or fall together. Mr.. Summer concurs
in opinion with MIR. Webster and other eminent
jurists, that these clauses are merely compaets
among the States, unaccompan;ed with any
power conferred on Congress to legislate in the
premises.
The admission of Mr.. Benjamin, accompa-
MED by his refusal to say that he would vote
for law to enforce the provision of the Con-
stitution in question, places him before the
country precisely in the attitude which Mr.
Sumner occupies, as to the powers and duties
of the Federal Government. The latter gen.
tloman would leave the fugitive from labor
clause to the States; the former, while admit
ting that existing Southern legislation is IN
constitutional, would still leave the matter to
the States.
1t will be remarked that Southern Senators.
perceiving that what they regard as fatal ad
missions were made by Mr.. Benjamin, and
droading still further inroads from the trench
ant logic of Mr.. Sumner, made objections to
the regularity of the proceediDgs and cut off
further discussion. G.

CRUSHING OUT" ABOLITIONTsn


Southern and Pro-Slavery politicians have
been singularly unfortunate in the means they
have employed for crushing out" the Anti
Slavery spirit of tho North The Nebraska
bill, it was supposed, would work Ike charm,
In exercising the demon of Abolitionisnn: hut.
contrary to the sanguine calculations Of its
authors, the effect has been to make twenty

concocted with the same object of trampling
in the dust the moral, religious, and political
sentiments Of the Northern people, only served
to keep alive the fires Of Abolition; bat the
Nebraska Bill has awakened the slecpinv en-
beers into devouring fame which viii not
cease to rage until every element Of Pro.SIa.

Having failed in these Legislative devices for
roofing out Anti Slavery from the hearts of the
people, the genius Of Slavery now proposes
other expedients, which are moro Transparent
ly absurd than those which have already failed
of their object. It has been seriously proposed
to abandon all commercial intercourse with
the North, in the hope Of bringing the North

CHU RCHEs- CRIMINAL STATISTICS NORTH
AND SOUTH

The editor of the Richmond Enquirer fell
citatcs himself upon the "indisputable fact
that the People of the South have come to re-
gard the institution of Slavery with feelings
and views very different from the traditional
prejudices which they had been content to
accept without investigation or inquiry
The editor continues: "The shareholder no
longer shrinks from contest of argument
Confident in the justice of his cause he readily
accepts the defiance of the abolitionist
The abolitionist deals in defamation the
champion of Slavery in argument" X
The result of all this inquiry and contro-
versy is a prevalent conviction among the Peo-
pie of the South, that there is nothing in their
system of Slavery for which they cannot find
abundant warrant in Scripture, in reason, in
the philosophy of human society, and in the
spirit of genuine philanthropy"
After few other remarks in this vein, the
Enquirer introduces the following statement,
from the Census of 1850:

POSTAGE IN FREE AND sLAvEHOLDIEG CONE
NUNITIEs

During the consideration Of the Bill of Mr..
Odds, for raising the pos.age-which was very
properly rejected--Mr. Haven, Of New York.
made an appeal to Southern men, to abstain
from urging such measure; and to enforce
it, he called their attention to the fact which
he referred to in no sectional spirit, that the
deficit in the Post Office Department is chiefly
owing to the comparative smallness of postage
receipts in the Slave States, while in the free
States enough postage is collected, not only to
pay for the transportation of the mail in them,
but the deficit accruing in the South. To sus-
tain this view, he submitted the following ia
ble taken from official documents, furnished
by the Postmaster General:
"The following table shows the amounts act
ually credited for the transportation OF mails
by States and Territories, and the amount OF
hostages collected in the same:

POLITICS AND CHRISTIANITY.
The New York Tri5une says:

The New York Tribune says:
An upright man need no more 'backslide
from the pulpit into Congress- than from New
England into China, Tor Sodom should he be
sent thither as missionary. A true soldier
OF the Cross ought TO be willing to grapple
with the hardest cases of impiety and iniuuty :;
and where could he find harder than in Con-
gress? And, besides, an evangelist need not
stop preaching because elected to Congress.
any more than an editor need stop writing.
Let MIN lift up his voice every Sabbath in rep
rotation Of current sins-he can be sure sto
get the floor on that day, when he might
struggle week for it in the House, and not
obtain it."
We regard minister of the Gospel as neither
more nor less than q man and citizen, and
we regard all laws and usages excluding him

making, that he Is tho more efficient in its pur-
suit who devOtes himself exclusively to it and,
so far as the Chinese rule, Of binding men end
their descendants to given pursuit forever, is
relishable in this country, so far is there peril
ncnce snd force in keeping ministers, lawyers,
doctors, carpenters, and shoemakers, out of the
political arena; but no farther "The filthy
mire Of politics" is Senatorial phrase; but
it is not true phrase, except where filthy and
miry Senators make it so; and where they do,
the presence Of pure and good men is needed
to elevate the character Of the place, and to
save the republic from the evils of its profiga-
cy and corruption.
We assert a well known truth, when we say,
that in the Capital Of this nation, among its
hOaorcd legislators oaths imprccations, and
blaspheInies, are horribly redundant; that true
dignity and elevated morality are laughed to
scorn; and that good and virtuous men of the
Republic very generally decline to contest for
positions IN the midst Of mere worldly, reck-
less and vindictve men.
Oar remarks are not of universal sppIioa-
ten in either House of Congress; but the &C.
gree to which they arc applicable should
arouse the attention of the country, alarm the
just, the moral, and the religious, throughout
the land, and induce prompt and thorough
reform through such means as have been sug-
gested by the New York Tribune. C.

It will be seen that the value Of church
property in the ten Northern States is more
than three times that of the slave States and
that the number of seats in Northern churches
exceeds the number of those in Southern by
7,0OO This number is greater than the
difference in population of the two sections,
and shows that there is more church room in
proportion to numbers in the free than the
slave States
But this is not ALL The Northern houses Of
worship are commodious and elegant, as is
evinced by their cost, while those of the South
must of necessity be rude, unsightly, and IN
comfortable. AS consequence Of this state
of things, church. going is more regular in the
winter than the summer in the free States
while at the South, in the country, and TO a
great extent in the small towns, it would be
intolerable to be confined for two hours in the
miserable barns which are used as churches. In
fact, many of Them are merely log schoolhouses,
in 1Dhich congregations meet. This we shall
proceed to prove. The Superintendent of the
Census prefaces the tables from which we have
quoted, by explanatory remarks, from which
we quote, as follows, at page SIS:
"In the South and West, more particularly.
thousands of buildings are used both for school
houses and for places Of religious worahip-
rude log houses IN Themselves, but in which de-
nominations meet with regularity, and in which
prayer is as fervently offered as in the cathe-
drals of the cities. To have excluded all these
worshipping communities, would have been to
destroy the value of this portion of the Gen.
sus"
We trust that in the profound philosophical
investigation, which the Enquirer and other
champions of Slavery have instituted into the
economic and moral aspects of the subject
they will not leave unscanned the facts we have
here brought together. We have given the
statements of the Enquirer with his differences.
