For the National Era.
SLAVERY NOW EXISTING IN NEBRASKA.

In any ordinary case, should be very 10th
TO expose brother missionary; but the case
now before us is one OF 30 monstrous charac-
tor as to forbid longer silence
1t may not be generally known, that there
is in this Territory an extensive missionary
establishment, under the direction and control
OF the Methodist Church South, ut which
siaves haze long been kept 10 do the mental ser
vice Of the mission. These slaves have been
kept here in utter disregard Of the Missouri
Compromise, by which Slavery was forever pro-
hibited here.
Ii would seem, TO candid thinker, q diff
cult matter to conceive n groseer Inconsistency
than to go forth to preach Christianity to the
heather, and to carry slaves along TO assist in
the glorious work Thus, while they would
hold up the gospel TO the heather with one
hand, with the other they bind fast tho yoke
Of bondage on the neck Of the poor slave
How can they show any consistency in such
monstrous absnrdity? On what grounds
should one portion Of the hrman family be
degraded and hcathenized, TO elevate and en-
tighten another
But, 70 como nearer to the point-Thomas
Johnson, the superintendent Of this slavehod-
ing mission, by adroit management, was elect
ed last fall, a Delegate TO Congress from this
Territory, or, rather, was sent to Washington
to attend 10 matters pertaining to the various
tribes Of Indians here, preparatory to selling
their lands and organizing Territorial Gov

tho present session Of Congress, where he has
boon using all his influence 10 secure the pas
sage Of Douglass Nebraska bill and be has
not ecrupled to make unfair statements, 10 pro-
mote bis ends. He il using bis utmost endeav-
ors to induce those Indians to cell out their
lands entirc---a thing which they are very un-
willing to do, and which would be very dis
astrous TO their best interests

white man. until they can 20 no further.
There are no lands suitable for them. Most
Of tho vast region between this and the Rocky
Mountains is barren desert, and wholly I'M

wish to DO allowed 10 remain here in peace
and quiet, for they know not where TO 20. But
tbs Christian missionary would send them
away, does he care whitherl IL is believed
that he intends to secure to himself fat por-
ton Of these poor Indians lands. And no
would plant Slavery here; yes, has introduced
it here, in violation OF the laws Of the land
And yet, we are to believe that he is minis
ter Of the Gospel Of Christ.

he took my Young cousin under his charge,
and made my Office OF nurse almost snecnre.
But with all these rare qualities, combined WIN
wealth and that personal presence when Is
better than beauty, ! felt that Adrian van
mes o lacked something could not watch HIM
and Walter long together, without feeling that
that slender boy-student with his pale cheek
and sunkcn eye, passing 80 slowly, yet as my
heart told me, 80 surely, away from earth, was
far the richer and wiser Of tho two, tor Adrian
was an infdel.
Something know not what-but some
thing in his early experience had come 70 give
strength and depth to those doubts that sooner
or later bcset such earnest, ipquiring natures
rs his, and he had taken refuge in refined
species Of materialism. This knowledge was
an inference drawn from series OF incidental
remarks, rather than from any open statement
of his own; for he was no vulgar asserfer Of
bis creed, no Jesuitical proselyter, bent upon
bringing every ono to his views.
TO Walter Aynton, pain and illness had been
the angel with which he had wrestled like ia
IL,
the unspeakable blessing, Of perfect faith and
trust in God Thus it was, in all our CONVEX
eatons on life and life's ends, that all that
seemed dark and intricate and contradictory,
Walter trusted to God, certain that IN the lille
beyond it would all be made clear IN the
brightness Of the everlasting light but
could read no corresponding faith in the dark
eyes OF Vannesse-- no glow Of hope lit up the
calm stern features OF his grandly-chiseiod lace.
One glorious day, as we sat beneath the
shade trees on the lawn, Adrian read, in SOFT,
deep tones, that most musical, most melancholy,
because most hopeless Of all Tennyson's poems,
the " Lotus Eateis;" and as he closed ne re-
pcatcd, more to himself than us and as if IN
answer to some query Of his own mind
" There is confusion worse than death
Trouble on trouble, pain on pain,
Long labor unto aged brcath--
Sore task to hearts worn out with many wars,
And Dyes grown dim with gazing on the pilot stars

A communication in another column, from
Richard Mendenhall, a mission teacher resi-
ding in Kansas, shows that Slavery already
exists in that Territory, carried there and fos-
tered there by missionaries of tho Methodist
Church South, among whom is Mr.. johnson,
who has made himself quite busy in Washing
ton this session. The statements Of Mr. Mem
denhall are worthy Of the most serious atten-
ton.
This Methodist Church South may be re-
garded as mission association for the spread
Of Slavery. During the struggle in California,
a year or two since, for the introduction OF
Slavery, its newspaper organ in that State took
ground against the Anti Slavery opposition to
that movement. And, as it seems by tho FOL
lowing paragraph in the National lnfslhgen-
Ger, the Church has at last expunged from its
discipline its old article about Slavery, thus
renouncing the crced Of the fathers Of tho
Church
aThe General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South in session at Column
bus, Georgia, on the 25th ult expuDged from
the Book of Discipline all those parts which
condemn the institution Of Slavery The vote
on expunging is said to have been unanimous,
With single exception. The general rule for
bidding the purchasing Of men, women, and
children, with the intention to enslave them
and which has reference to the African slave
trade, was retained, though the vote npon the
cxpurgation, even Of this rule was Az to 81
That the missionaries of such Church
should propagate and foster Slavery in Kansas,
or anywhere else, is precisely what might be
expected

MR.. SUMNER, IN WASHINGTON.


The New York Evening Post thinks that the
majority Of the Southern delegations would be
as prompt to resent any outrage on the porson
Of Mr. Sumner, in Washington, as if he repre-
senied the State of Mississippi, instead of Mas
sachusetts This is decidedly on error, and We
wonder that the Post has fallen into it. As
soon as it is found here that Northern Senators
or Representatives are non combative, or that
they represent constituencies who would not
sustain a duelst in any public position, they are
apt to be insultcd by some Of those Southern pro-
tectors to whom the Post would appeal. Inc
exhibitions of this conduct in tho United States
Senate for the past four months, have been con-
slant. and Of the most disgusting character;
and, what adds to the despicability OF it, is the
fact that, when resentment and defiance have
been exhibited, the tone and bearing Of the as
sailants have been lowered, and a respectful
demeanor assumed These are sayings un-
pleasant for us to utter, and no doubt unplcss-
ant for many to hear but they are TRUE, AZ
thousands Of witnesses VIII Attest, and "a the
record will prove.
As for Mr.. Sumner, We have no fear. He
is On advocate of the Cause of Peace but knows
how to stand by his pct; and the good People
Of Washington VII not safer themselves to DO

became deeply impressed With the larhentable
wants of the Northern States at this crisis, for
men who arc willing to stem the torrent of
abuse heaped upon Northern men and North
ern principles in Congress. Said be to our
friend, aWhy don't the Northern folks get
some Southern gentlemen who think as they
think, and then send 'cm here to Congress to
speak up TO these Southern menf Don't you
think, sir, that would be good plana for
