William Birncy was som time since the editor
of the PHILADELPHIA DAILY REGISTER, a paper
which exhibited an independence and liberality
highly encouraging to all who duly regard those
sterling qualities. The paper was, however, some
time since discontinued. A correspondent of the
Rhode Island Freeman, writing from Philadelphia,
states that MIR. Birncy is now editor of the Sunday
Times, a-d quotes from that paper a portion of an
editorial notice of the recent Woman's Rights Con-
y%ention, held in that city. These extracts are cor-
tainly unsurpassed for meanncss and wicicdnoss
by any notices Of similar Conventions we have
ever seen. And we have heretofore been called to
witness not a iow choice specimens Of this kind Of
Development. Take the foliyYing for example.
For the credit Of humanity, VIC can lut hope that
William Birney is not its author;

rcfncment-nay, even without thesc-can dcliber-

garitieS and the evidences of their corrupt crimi-
nnilty, to the public gaze, we cannot conceive.
What n pitiful and shameful spectacle it is to
witness the apparent fellowship that exists between

down the moral insult. We would rather that
every right claimed by woman, Justly or uniustly,
were conceded her than withheld, if we thought
the busy promoter of these sacrcligious gatherings
would prompt her to no fresh violations Of clIarac-
ter Of dignity, but we fear the step with too many
has already been taken, and that their career will
prove Il downward one, until it terminates in an
atmosphere rocking with p~utridity, and amid ruins
which mark the overthrow of wolnan's yirtue-the
shrine at which mum w~orships, and the object of

FOREIGN A TRADE.

The New York papers contain the particulars Of
the trial of Capt. James Smith, in that city for par
~ticipating in the slave trade. Smith was Captain
Of a New York vessel, the Julia Moulton, which
sailed from that city in February last with every
thing on board for prosecuting the trade. She
sailed for Africa and there took on board G6I ne
groes, forty Of whom were women. She then sail
cd for Cuba, one hundred or more of the slaves
dying on the passage. The remainder were landed
and the vessel afterwards burnt. The vessel was
procured by Captain Smith at Boston7and brought
to New York just before its sailing fol Africa.
Here is the law under which this New Yorker is
being tried for his life.
And be it further enacted, that if any citizen
OF the United States, being Of the crew or ships
company Of amy foreign ship or vessel engaged in
the slave trade or any person whatever being Of
the crew or ships company Of any ship or vessel,
owned wholly or in part, or n~avigated for, or on
behalf OF any citizen or citizens of the United
States, shall iorcibly confne or detain, or aid and
abet IN torcibly combining or OBTAINING, on board
such ship or vessel, any negro or mulatto not held
10 Seirice dy Tic taws If eHher Of the States or Terri
tories q tie United States, with intent to make
such negro or mulatto a slave, or shall on board
any such ship or vessel offer or attempt to sell, as a
slave, any negro or mulatto not held to service as
aforesaid, or shall, ON the high seas, or anywhere
on tide water, transfer or deliver over to any other
ship or vessel, any negro or mulatto not held to
service as aforesaid, with intent to make such ne
gro or mulatto a slave, or shall land or deliver on
shore from on board any such ship or vessel, any
such negro or mulatto, with intent to make sale of.
or having previously sold, such negro or mulatto,
as a slave, such citizen or person shall be adiudgcd
a pirate; and on conviction thereof before the Cir.
cult Court of the United States for the District
wherein he shall be brought or found, shall suffer
death"
viii the people of this country look at this law
and see its ridiculous inconsistency, not merely
with justice, but with the other laws and usages of
the country. Can they discover any difference in
'criminGlity between the enslavement of Africans
and Americans? Had Captain Smiths cargo con.
sisted OF Marylanders or Yirginians, this same
court which sits in judgment on his life, would
have defended his person and property with alacri-
ty and zeal. There would then have been no ne
cessity of burning the vessel to cover up the knowl-
edge Of the business in which it had been employ.
ed. This law as any body can see, asserts a mono
poly in favor Of the slave breeding of Americans,
against the slave stealing Of Africans.

HOW TO SAVE THE UNION.

The defeated Democrats Of Philadelphia are
forming clubs i'll that city to inaugurate n new
party to be called the constitutional party. Ex-
Vice President Geo. NJ, Dallas gives his advice to
these newly organized clubs, in regard to their
purpose and the means Of its attainment. Their
object is that very norcJ one, the salvation of the
Union. Mr.. Dallas Says:
Now, | take it that your projected Clubs. ,
resting or the broad and Leniiccnt platform Of
Democracy, are meant to have a single eve to the
preservation Of the union-aro meant to foster
every measure having that tcndcncy-are meant
to detect, expose, ANA resist whatever threatens to
weaken or dissolve it-are mcai.t, in a word. to
organize a power of simultaneous action, through
correspondence, the press, and the ballot-box,
which Will raise a rampant, at any and every crisis,
against any and every flood, however Formidable,
of sectional and national disunion. 1t is in this
belief that not only approve the propricty and
expc liency Of your plan, but bid ycn cordially God
speed with it.
q will net, though strongly tempted, advert to
the best practical courses for UNFOLDING the Union.
They will necessarily engage the deliberations of
the Clubs when formed. Dut there is one COM
prehcnsiye injunction which you will pardon me
Tor thinking important enough, however trite, to be
repeated here-i00h Steddiiy to tie Constitution !;
uti That It's pyocisioRs be strictly esccRtc4. The in
involves the being Of the Onion. The
violated, the Union fingers only upon
snffcrance; the Constitution enforced, the Union
uourIshes with perennial vigor."

WAYS OF ACQUIRING CUBA.

In 4 speech by the Hon. L. NJ. Kcitt, Of South
carolina, to his constituents, he referred rs follows
to the acquisition of Cuba
Cuba, he said, presented n question Of great
delicacy and vital interest. lie had no doubt
about her ultimate union with the South. We
could not permit it, he said, to be a tropical den
OF free negroes, nor Il European colony to modest
us. Spain could not much longer maintain the is
land, and when it passed from the hand Of Spain
1t must como to us. There were three WAYS of
acquiring 1t: LIST, by conquest; 2nd, bv pur-
chase ID, by annexation rs an independent com
munity.
If we got it by conquest, the consul-reneral
would declare emancipation. The South void
hold the proclamation a fraud upon the rights Of
Wharf.-The North would hold it valid. The struggle
would be here-which would succeed
"a. II we got il by purchase, the North would
insist upon the application Of the Wilmut rroyisp
to it.
Sd. If we got it by annexation as an indepen-
dent community, 1t would naturally come in slave
hol ding. The independence OF the island might
be obtained by the Cubaus themselves, or by the
conquest of the island by those termed fiibusters.
1t the Cuhans obtained it, they would nullify the
decree + EN- lncipltion. Ii the fIlibusters OBJ
tanned 1t, as they had won it by the sword, thew
would hold their rights by the sword. Thus they
would remit the blacks to their former s'qtus. and
holding the island, treat with others as an indepen-
dent community.

the Fugitive Slave law would have received their

AN IMPORTANT ANlI-sLAvERY MOVE.
MENT.

The American Anti-Slavory Society, as we learn
from circulars we have seen, signed by its officers,
propose to publish a series of brief Anti-Slayery
Tracts for circulation. We arc delighted by this
resolution of this Society. In no other way us we
think, can they accomplish as much for the cause.
Thousands will read eagerly now, who would never
read Anti-Slavory works before and thousands there
are in all parts Of the country who need cnlightcn-
ment in regard to the elementary principles of the
movement. In no way can they he as well reached
as in the method proposed. God speed them in
this work. Abolitionists we believe will aid them
cheerfully and literally.

No!fh- Ucshera Christian M,ga.ine, Fitted and

We are obliged to the Editor for the three first
Nos. OF his new monthly magazine, and are happy
to express our conviction that it will not fail to 10
highly usoiu! to the cause of universal progress.
In his salutotory, the editor pledges himself to the
advocacy Of primitive Christianity" general
education" "tle temperance reform" and "1uni-
versal liberty" Mr.. Boggs is a minister in tho
" Disciple Church." lie writes like a true man.
and a man in earnest, and his advocacy of the I'M
portont reforms Of temperance and anti-slavery.
Will be welcomed joyously by ? large number of
The members Of that church.
The case of this denomination has been ton tr,,v
Illustrative of the criminal Indifference of tbe
whole American people to the cause of Justice in
The person OF the slave. Loudly have they claim
ed that the church was the only and aH-suficient
means Tor the removal Of intcmpcrance and sla-
very and yet they did nothing as Il body in regard
to these, and thc whole weight of their organiza-
tons was against those who would combine for the
overthrow Of those evils. They had no periodical
outSpokcn against them, whilst the Millennial
ilarbinger, the central organ Of the denomisa-
ton, appeared as the open apelogist foy ~sfavery.
and hundreds Of the members of is churches.
claimed and exercised the rights of ownership ip
the bodies and souls of men and women-many OF
them their acknowledged brethren in the Lord.
1t Will be no small relief to those members of this
church, and there are many such, whose anti-sla-
very sympathles have been crushed by this pro-sla-
very course, to find vent given to their smothered
aspirations, by this North Western Magazine"
Already has it stirred up some violent opposi-
tlon' among the pro-slavery brethren, as will any
thing truly and heartily anti-slavery. But for that
the editor is evidently prepared. Speaking of this
IN his third number, he says with manly indepen
dence:
1--WE have a house of our own-coal left from
our last winters supply-plenty of old clothes
AMI an economical wife; the public may there
lore look upon the Magazine as a fixed fact for enc
year at least. And better than all this we have q
righteous cause, and a host of friends"
In conclusion, we can only express the hone that
the magazine may rotbe like some other anti-slaye-
rv religious papers, which started well and so run for
a season, but whose theology eventually mastered
their practical Christianity, and brought them
down to the depths of the horrible pit" of theo-
logical hunkerism."
We are glad to notice that the magazine meets
with a hearty welcome from some sections of Ken
lucky. In that State, the Disci pies are quite nu.
merous.

We very much fear that the opinion still prevails
to great extent in the old States and particular "
in the South, that this Territory is lot adapted to
agricultural purposes, and ,lat ''thc extreme degree
Of cold, which must necessarily result from the high
northern latitude in wheel, the Territory is loca,cd''
will "p'eclule its becoming important as either a
wheat Or stock growing country" TO dspel this idea
81 prevalent, and yet void Of! foundation, we
have taken much pains, ia answer ID enquiries on
ths Important subject, to give not orr individual
opinion bot statistic, which clearly dcnpnst,ate that
the soIl aud climate Of this Territory arc inferior to
no portion Of our union, either for stock raising or
or the growth Of wheat, cora, oats Sc.
We again ,hs week put lish Tor the Information Of
those making enquiries this subject the fellow ing

mon before ,he Benton County Agricultural Society.
We wish onr readers to remember, however, that
Bcnton is one Of northern tier oG Counties, in
this Territory, and that the Governor ba sed his sta
tsiics principally upon the data he Obtained from
farmers in that county. We exllac, from the address
as follows
"WEEAr.-Thc climate and SOIL are well adapt
ed TO the growth If this cereal. The avayage crop
Is from Is to 30 bushels to the acre. Sone ten or
fifteen persons have shown me specimens Of Mime
sofa wheat, bright, clear, and heavy as is gown
anywhere in the United States.
"OATs.-No part Of this continon; can raise bet
ter Oats nor can more be produced TO HE ac,e than
in Minnesota They sell readily for from fifty 10
sixty per bus bel, and the produce is from 80 to
90 bushels TO the acre.

estimate Of their corn crops in 1888, and the general
average L. fifty bushels TO the acre. Ii commands
one dollar pes bnshcl at The farmers door, and ready

this latitude Than corn, # properly cultivated.
''Ot the varieties best adapted 10 this climate il
may be we'll to SAY word. The Cohen Sioux or

siderab!y IA th,s Territory, and is receiving the at
tention Of the farmers, particularly in The beautiful
valley OF The Minnesota.
Thus much as to the adaptation OF the soil and
climate Of Minnesota for the growth Of wheat and
other grains. Ia reference to the many advantages
possessed by Minnesota for stock raising we extract
from the same address as follows:
