board under charge of her master and mistress.
When the cars stopped, q big negro, stepped into
them, and accosting the girl, asked her il she was
a slave. She made no reply, but her mistress an
swercd that she was. Theroupon the black ruiian
seized her, and she, clinging to her mistress neck,
begged most pitcously not to be torn away but the
black fellow violently tore her away, and i'll the
effort bruised the lady's neck severel' and carried
the child out Of the car on one arm, and hourished
a revolver in the ether hand, amid the plaudits of
the excited crowd.
The master of the child was not just then in the
car, and upon hearing of the rescue offered to 60
before any officer and execute free papers, if the
girl wished to be free, leaving the matter to the
girl. But the mob would listen to no such thing,
The child's screams were heard above the tumult,
begging to 60 back, so that she could again see her
mother who belongs to the same owner.
The life of the owner was threatened, and he
dare not remain over, but went on in the cars to
cavty grief to the mother of the girl.
This is an outrage, and the people of Colum
biana owe it to themselves to wipe out this stain.
That long haired, brainless C.. c. Burleigh was
on hand, and made a harangue to the crowd.

DIR. E LECTURES.

AT the close of DR.. Evrett's lectures, in Salem,
Sept. 4th, 1854, on Phrenology and Physiology, the
class adopted by unanimous vote, the following
resolutions;
Resolved, That we believe, that the elevation
and happiness of the race, depends mainly upon,
: self knowledge and a faithful observance of the
laws of our being; and that we recommend the
study of Phrenology and Physiology as the ones
best calculated to unfold those laws to the mind OF
man, as well as to reveal to him the true relations
which he ~sustains, and dates which he owes, tc
his fellow man and to God.
Resolved, That it is with pleasure, that we con.
cur in t~estifying that DIR. Evrett, during his course
of lectures in Salem has occupied high moral
ground, always laboring to impress upon the minds
of his class, the necessity of self improvement re-
commencing the schoolroom and literary society,
as the best places to secure this object.
Resolved, That DIR. Evrett has demonstrated be.
yOnd q cavil, his ability to read the character of a
person from the shape of their Uranium, and to
remove all doubts, he has suffered himself to be
blindfolded and persons have then been presented
for examination and in every case he has read their
character as accurately rs it could have been done
by their most intimate friends.
Resolved, That we approve of the manner in
which DR. Evrett teaches the science of Phreno-
logy, connecting it as he does with Physiology
considering man as a unit; claiming that al
his faculties should be properly and harmoniously
developed in order to produce the perfect man.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions b,
furnished TO each of the editors in Salem, with
equcst for their pu bl~ieation,

HON. J. R. GIDDINGs AND HIS CONSTR
TUTIONAL OBLIGATIONS.

In the a.. S. Bugle of the Goth ult. appears what
purports to be o part of u speech delivered by j. H.
Giddings, at Providence II. L., on the 4th of July;
accompanied by some pretty severe structures by
the editor.
Believing the said extracts as well as the com.
m~cntary upon them, calculated to produce an err
roneous impression upon the mind of the reader
and place the speaker in n false position, l took
occasion in a late letter, to call his attention to the
article in question and have since received the
following reply, which, l deem a simple act of JUS
ticc to him, would require to be published through
the same medium that gave currency to the ere

LETTER FROM MERCER.

MERCER, Pa, Sept, LIST, 1854.
FRIEND Robinson: We have had our anti-slavery
feelings revived in this town, by the labors of Mr..
Lewis Clark, who has been lecturing here for three
evenings, to very large audiences, which appeared
to give great attention and take more than usual
interest, while he was portraying the awful suffer-
ings of the slave, as experienced by himself and
others, in abuse of his person, separation of fam'
lilies, the awful feelings he had experienced on such
occasions, &c. His mode of lecturing is pretty
popular; dealing principally in generals, not par
ticularizing for instance, he drew a vivid picture
of American Christianity on the auction block, and
contrasted it with M~ahommedanism in the same
situation, and I think the audience, without a dis
senting voice, would have given preference to tho
latter, as being the most God-like. Now the OBJ,
lection to such a course is this: the Presbyterian
says, it amt me; the Baptist says, it amt me; and
the Methodist says, it amt me; and go on. 1t is
only American Christianity that does these abomi-
nations.
Had the speaker named the Presbyterian Church
right out, and branded her Christianity Us one Of
the conspirators against humanity, and let the au-
dicnce know that she stands in full fellowship with
the auction block, the auctioneer, and the New Or
leans harem, that she. by her solemn act, declares,
"Slareholding, as ii erists in the Southern portion of
these United States, is no bar TO Christian commun-
on"-had he named but the Baptist Church, as
being in the SAINT condition, and quoted from her
official acts, where she declares that God will look
on a separation of a slave husband and wife (by a
MASTERY as if occasioned by death, and that the
parties so separated are at liberty to marry again,
although both are still living; had the speaker
named out the M. E.. Church, and should her con-
spiracy against God and man, her almost unani,
nous vote, declaring she had no right, no wish, and
if she had q wish, she had no intention to interfere
with the relation of master and slave, as it exista
in the Southern States,-I say, had the speaker
pointed out the Christianity of each particular sect.
and showed that it was a combination of the Chris
tianity of the different churches that made Amer
lean Christianity, and that each was stepped in the
guilt he was exposing, his lectures would not have
been so popular, but | think would have done much
more good. At his lecture on Thursday evening,
such a desire prevailed to hear further from him,
that a temperance meeting on Friday evening gave
way for him, and q universal call on that evening
followed for him to speak again on Saturday even
ing. But there was no call for him to tell his
wrongs and suferings on Sunday, each one return
ing on that day to their old polluted associations.
as usual each one contentipg himself that it is
only american Christianity that commits such
diabolism as the speaker had been describing

NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN METHOD
lists.

The following home thrusts are from the Rich
mond Adrocdte, an organ of Southern Method
ists:
Il. Slavery in form and fact exists in the North
ern Methodist Church as truly as it does in the
Southern. If slaveholding be a sin, if connection
with slavery be sinful, they are as deeply involved
in sin, aud are as guilty as we are. They can
neither deny the fact, nor eyade the conclusion.
.. Drs. Bond. Elliot and Watson, Chicago re-
sisf and oppose "the new rule of the Troy Confer
enee for the extirpation of slavery from the Church.
They are therefore the advocates OF slavery in the
Church, and are as really pro-slavery as any who
voted for the remo1al of the ninth section.
3. But they retain the ninth section. Yes. But
for whatf As a law? No such thing. Only as a
protest against slavery. Wonderful. A protest
against slavery in the ministry and the ~oficiary Of
the church but an act Of liberation, an apology
for it, and a defence of it among the laity. 1t was
not pro-slavery. but hostility to doctrines SO false,
distinctions so unjust, and to a protest uttering its
nconsistencies with a face so double and a voice
80 cracked, that we turned it out. If they are con
sistent they will follow our wholesome example, Of
else conform it to the facts and make it declare al
slayeaeiding to be wrong; and then, if they cannot
cure the evil. e~xtirpate it from the Church. In
such an event, one might respect their consistency
eyen while deploring their folly"

"A SPECIMEN

OF the way some anti Nebraska folks, (who are
as much opposed to slavery as anybody take on,
when one little slave girl is emancipated. If one
emancipation produces such paroxysms, what would
be the result of a general emancipation. Doubtless
these afflicted editors will pray ~fervently to all The
demons Of slavery to save them from the inevitable
horrors of such an event. Here is the Cleveland
IIerald's first blurt of agony:
DISGRACEFUL ACT AT SALEM.
We are no apologists for slavery, but at the same
time we despise rowdyism and blackguardism,
when used by fanatics in their rash and illegal
efforts to carry out their mistaken notions of phi
lanthropy.
Yesterday, when the cars arrived at Salem, in
Columbiana county, from Pittsburgh, a crowd had
gathered at the Depot, a dispatch from Pittsburgh
having informed them that a slaye girl was on

cause) your views,
lst. Of the present posture Of the Anti-Slavery
question generally.

the present Congress.
3dly. The nature, character, and extent of infu-

members of the House.
4thly. Who are the most effective supporters Of
Slavery there, and the means of their efficiency.
5thly. Your impressions concerning the charac

the proceedings of that body.
A compliance with the above, will be gratefully

MORE ANNEXATIoN--PRoBABLY.-We learn from
the eastern papers that the President has sent a
Commissioner to Dominica to negotiate a treaty with
that Government. General apprehension seems to
be, that it is the purpose of the managers at Wash,
ington to secure the control of Dominica or a por-
ton of its territory, as a preparatory step to the
eventual seizure Of the IIatien Government. The
Commissioner is a Texan, an especial friend Of
Slavery extension. And his authority is rendered
respectable by a .. S. Frigate.

ISAAC PIERCE, Mt. Union Stark Co. o.


We very cheerfully publish this letter of Mr..
Giddings. We should DO it with much greater
~alacrity, were it such as to extricatc Mr.. Giddings
from a compromising, pro, slavery position. Most
regretfully we are confirmed by this letter in the
opinion that Mr.. Giddings occupies such a position,
and that the STRUCTURES" heretofore made upon il
were merited and proper. We do not forget MOI
undervalue the great services Mr.. Giddings has
rendered to the cause of freedom. But, at the
same time, we cannot be blind to, nor silent regard
ing a position we deem so detrimental to the cause
of the slave as that assumed by Mr.. Giddings in
his Providence speech, and maintained in this
letter of justification. We ore unable to gee any
important difference between the speech and the
letter.
Both affirm that the law of '93 prohibits Ia,
people from secreting the slave-from defending
the slave-from rescuing the slave. Both declare
Mr.. Giddings' willingness to concede these prohi
billions upon freedom, for the sake of repeating the
compromise OF 1850. Prohibitions which repress
the most noble of human impulses, prohibit the
most obvious and important of human duties. And
which will, of necessity, be the frequent means Of
enabling the master to seize and return the slave
to his chains. Amonstrous proposition to be made
by anybody, but especially astonishing, as coming
from Mr.. Giddings, who has such abundant expert
euce Of the evils Of compromises, and of the per
fdy Of those TO whom he proposes to make these
wicked concessions.

To the first, some justification is given by the ac-
count of the affair given by the Homestead Journal
of last week. So far as our observation went, this
is an entire mistake. There was no disposition
among those present to injure the man, and he was
so assured by the Committee, and we heard nc
threats of personal violence. The sole object oil
the people was the rescue of the child-not the
punishment Of the slaveholder-they pursued theil
object with singleness of purpose and stopped wher
it was accomplished.

will assauge their grief and dry their tears. Tn

of constable Brady, of the Second Ward, and he
gives the following account Of the affair: g On
the day mentioned, Mr.. Phillips, who was ac-
companied by well-known theatrical lady

theatre, hired hack of complainant, and We're
taken about the Cemetery grounds. On return

horses were too jaded and could not be driven
any more as it was, he had been out two hours
longer than agreed upon She called him a
drunken loafer, and told him to drive back, when

the whip of the driver from the socket, struck
him on the head, and knocked him from the box

some time after the time set, when it was ad

till next Monday. Whether he will appear o.
