sLAvEHoLDINa MISSIONARIES.

The credit of introducing slavery into Kansas
and Nebraska, belongs to the Methodist Mission
aries. Those slavery extending patriarchs look
with no favor upon the settlement of Northern
frecmen in that country, fearing, doubtless, that it
will leopard their patriarchal privileges. 1t seems
too, that they are jealous of their missionary broth
rem in that territory who will not initiate their
slaveholding example.
The following is from a Kansas correspondent Of
the Milwaukee Sentinel:
" We came out from Wcstport some two miles TO
the Methodist Mission establishment. among the
Shawnee Indians in the territory. We were rnth-
er grufiy received, and entertained with sumner,
lodging and breakfast. The church ut this Mis-
sion ~ holds slaves Good Lord, what inconsis-
tency, what hypocrisyl How are the principles
of the holy religion prostituted to the qualification
of human pride and arrogance and the love of
dominion, both within and without the church.
I" was informed by n negro of fair intelligence
and good mind, who appears to have charge of the
general outdoor concerns of the establishment,
that they own five slaves-that there is consider
able jealousy OF feeling toward the Baptist Mission
some two miles from them, because they, the Bap-
lists will not hold slaves that they have %2urchas-
ed some and allowed them to work out the amount
but do not in the mean time regard them slaves
that formerly the odd gentleman Mr.. johnson,
in charge at the Mission, used to feel so too, but
now he is rs bad as any of them
We found the Missourians, both up the Missouri
River and since, very kind and o%bliging. They
pretend to have Inexperienced the nature and
design of this e%migrans movement, having been
led to consider it as dictated and controlled by the
ultra abolitionists, who were sending and about to
send out a lot of Irish and other foreign paupers,
rs well as the otfal of the Northern cities generally
stimulated to prey upon the frontiers, and incite
their slaves to insubordination and running away.
They appear to be very happy to be undoceivcd,
and even Mr.. Malgec himself, author OF the famous
Westport resolutions, after expressing his profound
est regret for what had then transpired, and tho
misapprehcnsions which led to it, kindly extended
an invitation to the next party to encamp upon his
grounds, On account of superior accommodations
for water and feed for teams" .

ANOTHER QUESTION FOR THE AMER.
ICAN BOARD.

The American Board of Commissioners for For
cign Missions have happily settled the question of
their connection with the slavc-excludiug Choctaw
schools. They will not be participants with Choc-
taws in pcrpctuating ignorance of letters. That's
well, and much to their credit, especially as it is a
change from their past pro-slavery course. But,
unfortunately the Choctaws are not the only enc
mics of the general diffusion and study of the
spelling book. 1t is a violation of law in most or
all of the slave States of the Union, to teach letters
to a slave. The Choctaws have but copied the
laws of Louisiana and Virginia. Heather though
they are, they arc, in this respect, not sinners
above their Christian neiglibors. Indeed, we have
never heard that they have proceeded to the same
length as the Christians of Norfolk, and impris-
oned and cxiled a benevolent lady for teaching
children to read.
The decision of the Board in the Choctow case,
was unquostionably right. They will not expend
funds, and give countenance and fellowship to this
outrageous course of these Choctaw shareholders.
Now will the Board apply the same measure of
condemnation to the same act of Norfolk, New
Orleans and Charleston Shareholders? Will they
refuse their blood stained money for missionary
purposes? Will they refuse to acknowledge the
divinity of ministers who sanction and execute
such laws? Will they refuse to recognize the
churches which do the same, as. the representative
of the pure morality of Jesus2 We are unable to
see why the same principles on which tho Board
relies for its justification, in the case just decided,
would. not require them to treat all pro-slavcry
churches and governments in the sam manner.
In short, to be comcuterS generally, as well as on
this particular question. If they do not, we
should not wonder if men, not cavilcrs and gain
sayers, should conclude that it is easier to do JUS
tice in this case to the friendless Indians, than to
the respectable, wealthy, powerful and pious Vir.

Canada to be free. But there is no necessity that
70 many come to this country for that object. No
results have ever been reported of the
aoors OF these caen. There surely is no need that
Ihey represent such an object as anti.slavery, and
'hus pocket the gifts of those who really wish to
ard the anti-slayery cause, and pervert them to 9TH
er oblects-and above all, thcrcis no need that they
join in the scnseless lie, and even give it additional
force by their clerical and pretended anti slavery
that the abol,tionists are other than they
pretend, and are only seeking the overthrow of
the Church and the Bible, under q profession of
anti-slavery.
What need there is Of this mission at all, perhaps
may be seen from the testimony of a witness who
is himself q fugitive and a minister, and is. now
travelling in the United States. Recently, in Gin
cinnati, he said that there are now 35, 600 fugitive
slaves in Canada, mostly in a hourishing condi.
ton, owing to the high prices now paid for labor
on the railways. In one town, he says there are
seven hundred, who arc rapidly acquiring property
in land. In another town, there are $50 families
of escaped slaves, who are already on atract of 5000
acres. And he further declares, that all the land
now owned by fugitives in Canada West amounts
TO 25, 200 acres. Similar testimonies have come
from other sources. But these are not the facts
that come to the British people through the men
who are SO fond of representing and asking aid for
these Canada missions. One of these has now
gone, and become q minister or missionary, in COM
Portable conditions, in the West Indies. Another,
after a very successful tour in the way of collecting
moneys, is soon to settle on a plantation also in
the West Indies; and | could tell of others alike
fortunate. How far such missions as theirs con-
ducc to procuring parishes and plantations, on
which to quarter, after a short service in such mis-
sions, is not for me, who do not know, to say.
My testimony, however, is, that in the real ~anti-sla-
rery cork, the corporations are a rcry different
affair; and besides, the real abolitionist, whose
heart and soul are wholly in his work, will not, it
seems to me. readily turn aside to other and more
secular objects. l think no pay, parish or planta-
ton, could seduce him. Living and dying, he will
be the slaves, and take his reward in his work, and
after he has gone to his rest.
Yours, for such conservation,
PARKER ~PILLSBURY.

pleasing God. Missionaries say they are thrown
to the monsters of the deep, which the people wor-
ship. Not 80. The mother finds one of her chill
dren dangerously sick, and prays to God to restore
her child, promising to offer her next born as a
sacrifice. The child RECEIVERS in time, another is
born. and faithful to her promise, she casts it into
the sacred river. This is not unlike the experience
which a female preacher gave us a few evenings
since. Her child was sick, and she deemed it a
chastisement for her sins. That it might recover,
she promised to be o Christian. 1t did recover,
but she forgot her promise. Then her child sick
ened and died. A most solemn warning; where
upon she at once set about her own salvation, and
entered the misunderstanding, in her own Ian
guage, can ambassador for God" There is scarce
ly as much difference in these two cases as in the
civilization of the two countries. The Ilindoo
explained the image, they have representing God
with four faces, one to each of the four quarters.
Missionaries call it an idol which they worship.
Not so. 1t simply represents God as looking in
every direction at once. lie said their system was
not troubled with a Devil, as ours, though they as
fully recognized the principle of evil. lie detail
ed some of the arts to which the Brahmins or
priests resort for controlling the people, and cspcc-
tally their pockets-such as the eclipse and other
astronomical phenomena. Missionaries sometimes
resort 70 the same arts. They compute the time
of an eclipse more accurately than the Brahmins,
and so the people say the new prophet is greater
than the old. A theologian by the name of Bruce
travelled in Africa in search of the two lost books
of Revelation, Enoch and flasher, which are refer
red to in the Scriptures. lie pretended to have
discovered them, and also the sources of the Nile.
lie brought back what he declared to be those
books, and published an account of his expedition.
Among other things, he described the control he
obtained over the natives by predicting an eclipse,
probably from an almanac. Astronomy, however,
declared that the eclipse ,cas not risiJie in thai re-
gion, and Mr.. Bruce was so discre1ited, that the
thcologians concluded to let his books of Enoch
and Jasher alone. Thus did science relieve the
Bible of these ~forgeries.
We have just been treated, in our little town, to
a course of twelve astronomical lectures, by Daniel
Vaughan. lie is a thorough astronomer. Prob
ably not one fourth of all who pretend to teach
this science, are half as we'll acquainted with it as
Mr.. Vaughan. lie readily performs all the math-
cmatical calculations, such as the distances, the
velocity, the density, &C., &C., of the heavenly
bodies.
The book l spoke of is published, and makes
about go small pages.
