AGITATION.


The Philadelphia Christian OJserrey saws of the
slavery question in the y. $. Presbyterian church:
We never predict the future Of a wandering star
but the Of our future Assemblies in respect
TO this question, is very clearly fore shadowed.-
The agitation must cease in our Assemblies. The
churches in this city, in New York, Brooklyn, in
Newark, IN Coatral New York, and many at the
West, demand rest frum the agitation Their
representatives. have spoken out. They believe
the agitation injurious to all concerned, and with
out any recognition of the acts or opinions of past
Assemblies, they say in the words Of the Synod oi
New York and New Jersy, that the agitation in
our General Assemblies by any portion Of the
church, OF our relltiUns TO Slavery IN the country
- undesirable and incSpcdient. Committing this
whote subject, therefore, TO the government ofEter
nal.lrovidence, We commend 10 our churches to
offer unceasing prayer for our country, in all its
sections, and for churches in all its interests"
The result will be more fracrnal and haliowed
union in our Assembes--and union in tho great
work committed to the Church of Christ TO advance
his kingdom in the world. The confidence Of the
SJuihcm Church will Be restored anil confirmed
Slch is the future forcshalowed by recent indica-
tions in different sections of the Church.

DEMOCRACY AND ABOLITION

Says the Pittsburgh Dispatch;
The South fears Gcrrit Smith influence in Con-
prcss, and the New Orleans Crescent attacks him,
fur his late speech on tho Costa affair. That pa
por with candor we should like much to see imi-
tuei at the North, acknowledges that "he who
goes at all forward in the received doctrines OF
democracy must presently, grhe IS honest, fall into
abolition. fhtre is no truer saying than this
nnl tho Csesegt .yery properly adds. IF all men
arc born free and equal. and are inprcscriptby
entitled to the rights, then abolition is inoyi
table, ami is identical eith Democracy"
William Leggett, one Of the few honest political
editors we had, whose party crushed him and then
built monuihcnt in his memory which cannot
prove so impershable as his burning words, once
ciiphatically remarked "COnvnce me that prn

THE PROTESTANT MINISTRY OF THE
UNITED STATES.

The Free Presbyterian says, there are at the
lowest computation forty thousand protestant min
listers in the United States. That their direct in
huence extends to ten millions Of people'
What an overwhelming array Of reform we
should have, if these were morel men and moral re
formers. If these men possessed the principles
the spirit and the purpose of Jesus, speedily
would the world be revolutionized. This nation
would be turned and overturned, and justice ant
love whose right it is, would rule-and slavery
with its attcndent brood of foul and abhorent crimes
would be known only in the past.
And what wonder, that with the mass of thi
host of forty thousand, enlisted for slavery, anC
fendishly prostituting the name and forms of lib
erty-the love and authority Of Jesus, and the yer,
attributes and laws Of Jehovah himself, to its sup
port, and waging the most unscrupulous wa
against freedom. What wonder is it that abolition
lists make small headway in their work. Thei
numbers are few their resources small, their unoi
unprotected they almost without allies. Blu
these forty thousand priestly advocates of maj
stealing, (the estimate is too SMALL 80 we may sa,
nothing of the good and true among them) are il
fraternal alliance with the government, and witt
all the tyranies Of the world besides.
! Well this indeed looks like an unequal contest
but what abolitonist, fears for the result or wou
shrink from the couhctY Who of the true hearte,
but desires that the conflict may thicken until sue
cess shall crown the cause Of truth and freedom,

CONGRESS-.

1--WE have read the congressional proceedings
for tho last two or three weeks, very attcntiycy
but " for the life Of us," cannot find any thing
in them that would interest our readers The sub
icct of slavery seems TO be the principal theme
Both Southern hotheads and Northern fanatics are
showing to the world that they understand the art
to perfection of wasting time, thing that should
be spent to n better purpose, than what it is now
being used for in that body
Such is a specimen of the language of a large
class Of our worthy magogue-economists. In
their esteem, time and money is utterly wasted,
when devoted to the redemption Of the nation from
its foul disgrace, to its redemption from system
which entails poverty and bankruptcy upon one
half the nation--which makes that half proud and
boastful paupers, dependant upon the honest free
labor Of tho other half-from n system which
dooms more than three millions to chains and
chattelism. \ system which alike tramplcs in the
dust our state and our individual sovereignty
which Furnishes in land of boastfu christianity,
the commoncst acts Of religious bcnevolence and
human sympathy--a system which prostitutes our
courts of justice to star chambers and inqusitora
halls--a system which foul as II is, draws tribute
from The religion, the politics. the government, the
commerce, the literature Of the country. For mer
in congress to resist tho cxactions of such unpar
nllclled assumption and actual tyranny, is to squan
der money waste time, and prove themselves fac
tonists and fanatics. Such is the estimation il
which these wise political economists, hold any eff
fort for freedom. Let good and honest men judg,
between such dcmagogues and those they call ia
natics--in congress and out Of it. We gladl,

Berg, in Philadelphia, was concluded last week
1t elected deeper interest than any other discussion
of the kind for a long time in the city. The audi

hearing to the discussion. The Daily Register re-
ported it very fully and accurately.
Mr.. Barker in a note to the Editor of the Regis
ter, expressed his satisfaction with the chairman
tho audience and the report Rev. John Chambers
was one of the noderators, as he was also Of Ill,
previous discussion with Mr. MCalla, but in neither

poPrRY AND pRorEsrASrIsN.-Some thirty Of
the Protestant clergy Of st. Louis, selected Dr. n
L. Rice for public discussion with o. L. Brown
son, on the subject of catholicism. This measure
was adopted in consequence Of tho boast Of the
St. Louis catholic paper, that Mr.. Brownson had
for years and years gone round and round the
ring challenging combat, but unable to find an
antagonist. Mr. Brownson declines the contest
because he could not engage in it without in some
measure concedng that the question between cath
olics and protcstants, is n debdteab'c question:
Such debate would be a cossion to heresy and
error, and an indignity to truth, of which Mr.
Brownson trusts he shall never be guilty. Thai

From the Ashtabuls Sentinel.
WHAT WE WOULD DO.

Tho Ant-Slaycry Buglc in referring to some
recent articles in the Ohio Star and this paper says;
eve may be mistaken, but our impression is that
both the Sentinel and the Star, in common with
many others Of the party have heretofore depreca-
ted this merging of tie Old Liberty Party into the
Free Soil Party. We have always understood that
for the two years last past it the general con-
yiction Of the party that that fusion by virtue of
which they Obtained the New York Barnburners,
did not pay. That thereby anti-slavery sentiment
lost ground, as did also their panty. Now these
papers and many ireesocrs, are about to repeat
the same blundcr if we understand it, with this
variation. Now, il is with the Wings they seek
alliance-bciore, it was with the Democrats"
! Well you mistaken. We seek no alliance
with Wings, or any party We seek no coalition
nor will we unite in any. We seek to unite in one
party all men who believe slavery ought to be abo-
ished, to carry out that doctrine We wish to make
that permanent and lasting party, on anti-slave-
| ry principles, and none other, Nor do We desire
any temporary unions for temporary success We
will engage in none. The experience of Free-Soil-
crs with the Barnburners in lS4S, has not been
lost on us; and VIC would therefore act with no men
who are not heartily seeking the furtherance of
FREQ principles We believe, from present indica-
tiOns, that general disposition exists among men
who have acted with Wings and Locos, to unite in
some kind OF organization against the Administra-
tion and its pro-sayery policy, and occupy the
grounds that VIC do. They have conceived old pre-
judices, which stand in their way. Anything We
can do to accommodate their case, we are willing
to do, if it will assist them to take right position
and ut the same time compromise none Of our op-
position to slavery and its influences.
Will the Bugle and its friends do as muchG
5 With all our heart we will. We have ever been
ready to cooperate with all who would cooperote
with us, without compromise, in opposition To sla
very. We have sought that cooperation unccas
, ingly and earnestly. We seek it still; and arc
happy to hear the Sentinel speak out decidedly a.
in the above paragraph, against fusion and com
promise, with unprinciped men who are ready tc
do anything for present party success. Unrelent
ing hostility to slavery-an eye single to the estab
iishmont of freedom, will alone secure success in
our abors.
