lips can speak the word Libcrty-their moral per-
ception on that subject annihilated by disuse, from
generation to generation, until the place where it
was, knows it 10 more-and they have learned to
look upon a negro as property, as a thing to which
the word mine can be applied as legally and right
fully as to any other goods or chattcls. Can we
expect men to yield their property, while men
born in a land that repudiates strengthening

principles of liberty and self government-Iend
their aid aud strength to uphold a system they
profess to abhor? Certainly not. And can we

A~NNlVE NOTICE.

The Twelfth Anniversary Of the Western Anti
Slavery Society, will be held in Salem, Ohio, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock, on the morning of the Goth
of August, and continuing probably three days.
The distinctive principles and measures of the
Western Society are more than ever commencing
themselves to the consideration of the thinking
part of community: "No union with shareholders"
is beginning to be regarded by very many as a ne.
cessary measure for the preservation of northern
rights. And it is hoped tina. at a time lie tho
present; when the aggrcssions of slavery have be-
come more outrageous than ever before, every
friend of liberty shall be found at his post, pre-
pared to renew his pledges against oppression, and
to make new sacrifices, and greater for the cause
of freedom.

PERPENDICULAR AND PHYSIOLOGICAL
LECTURES IN C0LUMBTANA.

DIR. Everett, Of Randolph, has bean lccturing or
Phrenology and Physiology at Columbiana. Al
the close of his lectures, the following resolution,
we're adopted, which we publish by request. DR.
Z. also lectured on the subject of theology and
morals. Our correspondent, j. d. Copeland, in
communicating the resolution, refers to the fact
that TIE Dr.'s audiences were all excluded from
the meeting houses, and appropriately adds:
at is the nature Of darkness to dread the light.
And of all earthly things, should the slavcholding,
conservative, Pagan theology Of our day fear it.
For ii certainly would be easy to prove from its
own creed, faith and practice, and every day con-
duct, that it is idolatrous in its worship-atheistc
ia its tendencies-repugnant to reason repulsive
to the higher elements of mans nature"
Resolved, That we return our thanks to DR..
Everett, of Randolph, Portage County, for the
course of lectures just delivered in our place, upon
the science of Phrenology and Physiology, and
their application to the improvement and devclopc-
mcnt Ut mans true nature, physically, mentally,
morally and religiously.
Resolved, That as Mr.. Everett intends visiting
other sections, we most cbeerfully recommend him
rs a most interesting, correct, clear, and gifted
speaker, and as one who is thoroughly master OF
his subject, and who can but meet with the high.
est appreciation of those who may elsewhere be
favored with his lectures.
After the close of the lectures on Sunday, the
following resolution were offered by Mr.. c. and
passed unanimously:
Resolved, That as the Giver of the Christian
Dispensation, when disputed a shelter for his birth
in a dwelling, was allowed a place in q Manager
so do VIC feel Thankful. to our friend, Jno. Holloway,
for u shelter in his barn, for our meetings, when
the doors of our churches were closed against us.
Resolved, That we look to the school room, and
not to the churches-to the reform movement, and
not to the conservative priesthood and dogmas Of
the day, for the elevation of mans condition.
We have for some time been talking of a library
in our place. We have taken the advantage Of
the occasion, and now have the most favorable
prospect of reaching enough funds to extend its
capacity to the principal of much that may be
found written OH Religious, Moral, Scientific,
Liberal and Literary subjects.

MIGHT AS WELL SEPARArE.-A Washington letter
writer, referring to the Senate's debate on the Fu.
Slave Bill, says = r,.
AFTER listening to the debate to-day a gentleman
remarked: The North and the South might A,
well separate first as iast-there is no union now
between them This is true, unless we can dr;ro
on! Of public stations such men as Toombs. SlidelI1
Mason and Jones, and substitute others like CuI.
lon, Hunt and Bolts. This will be DONE"
10 is true any may. Suppose Toombs, SlidetI.
Mason and Jones were substituted by Cullom..
Hunt and Bolts what then? These are all
avowed friends of slavery and determined to sup
port it. Slavery would still exist with its advocates
and supporters in Congress. 1t would continue
with all its %enormities, and the moderation of its
would do nothing for its destruction.
1t is marvellous what expedients even reputedlx
~ise men will rely upon for the removal of this
wrong. With most astonishing puerility, they
boast of their ability to draw out this leviathan
with their hook. Equally astonishing is that Gre
|dulity, which quietly reposes upon their childish
and triaing schemes. Politicians propose no rem-
edy at all adequate to the evil probably for the
very good reason that they have no adequate con.
ception of it. When will shareholders, by their
insolence and oppression, cause them to cease tr;.
fling. and adopt some measures adequate to tho
work. We despair of the ability of the friends of
freedom ever to do this. Oppression alone will
make these silly ones act as wise men. e5 ..1

A DIFFICULTY.

We commended last week Mr.. Summers indig-
nant reputation of all personal obligation to,
catch slaves. Mr.. Sumner did a noble act, and
well has he been commended for it north, and thor.
oughly cursed south.
But we had not room then to refer to what ne
first blush struck us rs q great omission in Mr..
Summers defence. lie failed to defend Massa.
chusetts-or ever to answer the question which
Mr.. Butler first asked, aud the question with which
he also closed, viz: 'rmould Massachusetts erecute
HE constitutional requirements and send back 10 the
Isouh The aLscondin9 Stare"
To this question Mr.. Sumner vouchsafed no an
swer. True there was a most impairment sirnif.
canoe in the question asked just then, when the
Massachusetts militia had at the point of the bay.
.onet just sent poor Burns in chains TO Virginia.
We see good cause for silence, with Sims and
Burns fresh in remembrance. Mr.. Summers Justly
ind gnant avowal that slave catching was a dogs
business, speaks little for the good reputation Of
Massachusetts,. The indefensib,e position of Mas.
sachusetts may be a very good reason for Mr..
Summers silence in her defence, but we can find
no reason for his or any ones else support of a
constitution and union which imposes such obliga.
ton on Massachusetts.
The truth unfortunately is. that Mr.. Sumner is
in precisely the unfortunate position of all other
free soil politicians. They know that slave catch.
ing is a dogs business. Personally they will trea.
it as such, but in their associated capacity as a
government, they consent to its performance. Tho
association of responsibility either blinds their
perceptions or strangely satisfies their consciences,
and they hold fast to the wrong.
%, ~
These indignant declarations of personal disre.
gard to the constitutional requirements of slave
rendition, are common with prominent anti-slavery
men who acknowledge the constitutional obligation.
We think they sometimes very sensibly feel the
embarrassment of their position, as Mr.. Sumner
must have done on this occasion. The only meth
DDS of relief for such men, is either conversion to
William Goodell's view of an anti-slayery const;.
tuition, or a revolutionary disregard of that consti-
tuition. Let them do one or the other of these
things, and they need no longer founder in incon-
s'stency as now. Will the new party that is to be
framed, avoid this difficulty? We hope so.
