We copy from the Libcrator, the following note
from Richard d. Webb, relating to Mr.. Pillsbury's
health and usefulness in England:
DUBLIN, July I, 1854.
My DEAR GARRISON As our friend Parker Pills
bury is writing, he hands me this scrap, IN order
that his letter may go fully charged. l need rot
assure you we are glad to nave him with us again,
after the terrible experience he has had since we
saw him in Ireland before. lie looks better, and
is much better, though far from enjoying the ro-
bust health and absolute freedom from suffering,
that we would wish for him. His present condi-
ton fordids public speaking, but it is my opinion
that if he were as well able to speak from the plat
form rs at any former time, he would not be likely
to do better service to the cause than he is now do
ing by his yigeroas, well informed, wellcxpressed,
and wel-tempcred letters, which appear from time
to tire in some of the most respectable and widely
circulated of the English provincial journals. In
this way he gains the attention of a greater num-
her, and of a more important class, than he could
reach by attendance at anti-slavery gatherings, if
such were convened fOrthe purpose of hearing him.
Since the abolition Of West India slavery, the
Standing Committee of the British and Foreign
Anti-Slavery Society have made no earnest use Of
the prestige Of their former acts, which has been
since that time, their only reliance and claim to
public confidence. They have thus done their best

On this subject the National Era remarks:

Oh thIs SUBJECT the National Era remarks:
ut will he seen that, in the earlier years of the
republic. the free colored population, both north
and south, increased rapidly-in the former sec
ton by general acts of emanipation, by which sla-
very was gradually abolished-in the latter by vol
untary emancipaticns. The latter have now al
most entirely ceased from the unfortunate state of
feeling which prevails in the southern states while
the source of increase from northern emancipation
has been dried up by the final extinction of slavery,
The number of slaves liberated by New York and
New Jersey, between 1910 ant 1910, was 26,377.
Pennsylvania passed a gradual emancipation act
in 1850. All are free, at the age of twenty-eight,
who have Leen born since 1880.
Shareholders were forbidden, under a heavy
penalty, to remove their slaves beyond the limits of
of the state and hence it is evident that the cman-
cipation was slow and gradual. Similar restriction
were contained in the emancipation acts of the 9TH
er states. The following table shows a rapid in
crease of the free colored population of Pennsyl-
vania, from 1870 to 1929, by which time the great
bulk of the slaves became free. Since that period
the increase has been slow

RErEAL.-John P. Hale says the way TO effect a
repeal of the Nebraska bill is to append a clause
to the Appropriation bill for the repeal, and stick
to it that not one cent shall be paid out of the
Treasury till the bill passes. 1t is thought that
even Douglas will vote for the repeal, and Pierce
sign The bill, rather than lose their pay.

A DISCUSSION.

SUSAN W. BIsmoP, writing from Linesville, gives
some account of a discussion in bayfield,, in June
last, as to the pro-slavery character of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church. The discussion was con-
Quoted by the Rev. Thomas Graham, of that
church, and John F.. Selby. Our correspondent
says, "the discussion lasted two days, during which
time the hidden things of dishonesty in that church
we're fully revealed and laid out to the public gaze,
in such a manner that no one could help seeing its
pro-slavery character, Notwithstanding she holds
herself up as a light in the benighted world:
'Ihave long since come to the conclusion that to
the Church is the wrong place to look for light on
the subject of slavery or moral reform, for within
her pale we find all kinds of ~iniquity, such rs the
breaking up of the marriage relation, separating
parents and children, brothers and sisters, and
making them mere merchandise or beasts of bur-
den, by exhorting us to be in subsection to the
powers that be, and telling us that they are or
dained of God, which / believe to be false, for the
Fugitive Slave Act has become one of the powers
that be, which forbids the requirements Of God,
which SAYS ye shall break every yoke and let the
oppressed go free.
"Would that I could see the oppressed of our
country enjoying their liberty as is the will of
God they should. People have gone astray after
strange Gods, whose end is destruction whose
damnation for a long time slumbereth not. Let us
not be by such deceived. but 60 on in the good
work of reform, that when we leave this tabernacle
of clay, it may not be said of us ye have beer

ANEW IDEA.

"As usual, every Democrat is defeated in
Maine-the telegraph is so sure of it that it
would be criminal to doubt that truthful ndica-
tor of public sentiment. We have never known
the telegraph, in such cases, 20 tell the truth
before and of course, therefore, it tells the truth
now. And yet we have to say to our readers
what we have said before-that a
party bold and base enough to ally to itself all
the factions and isms of the day can scarcely
fail to succeed at the first or second trial; but
for ourselves, we are like unto the progressive
Frenehman, who, in leading great reform, de-
clareG to his friends that he had placed mis-
bark upon the highest promontory and fearless
ly awaited the rising ofthe waters to float it

whom have been the men in Maine who bow
constitute the fractions and isms, with which
you charge that it is the height of baseness in

the men who compose these factions and isgss
heretofore acted with, and constituted an eff
Gent and essential Essential for all majority

Maine,whose triumphs you have annually tuned
your harp to hymn in loftiest praise? Were
not those annual Democratic triumphs in Maine
secured by the votes of the very men to have
acted with whom in the late elections you now
hold it SO dishonerable in the Wings? So long
MS these men voted the regular Democratic tick
ct, it triumphed, and no difference what they
thought about slavery, or said about it, they
were good Democrats, aud the triumph, which
could not have been achieved without the aid Of
their votes, was glorious Democratic triumph,
and as such, hailed by the Democratic press of
the whole union. But now that they have re-
fused to. vote the regular Democratic ticket, it
has been most signaly defeated;and what do we
hear from the official organH Denunciations of
the Wings of Maine for uniting with portion of
the Democratic party, or who have heretofore
constituted portion of it, to overthrow the
