Adding 20 the contributions from the free

Sl2 9O5-we find 1896 500 from the non.slave-
holding sources, standisg against $3.50 from

sum - S305 279-it would appear that the
slave States furnish but little over one-thirty-
fourth.
The Lesson TO be derived from the action of
the American Board is of no ordinary signif-
canoe. 1t shows a steady advance on the part
of the great conservative religious bodies of this
country, corresponding with that which is OBJ
serVable in our political affairs, in the applica-
ton of common sense to the solution of the diff
eculies so frequently presented by the vexs-
tious slavery question. There is nothing like
marching right up and calmly facing a ques-
ton; and the main cause of the trouble from
this matter heretofore has been the failure to
look at It ss we would any other subject, and
then dispose OF IL. Had this been done before,
al infinite deal of useless talk and distraction
in the church would have been saved. We
congratulate the Board, and the vigszaus and
enhghten& body of olergymsn who now direo'
its cOunsels, upon the suspicious example i
has thus get to the world.

pGF~ The remarks of the Camden
Democrat are simply slang. Such
epithcts as " fool" "hypocrite," and
" fit candidate for the lunatic asylum"
when speaking Of gentleman who has
expressed his views in gentlemanly
terms, belong only to the language of
the blackguard And we are quite con-
fdent that our correspondent, who, as
perhaps it would be quite relief to the
mind of the editor Of the Democrat tc
know, we would say, is a Connecticut
man, would not sufficiently compromise
his dignity to notice such ribaldry.
