BOSTON ANTI-sLAVERY BAZAAR.

Mr.. Pillsbury always abroad as we'll as at home
earnestly advancing every effort which promises
aid to the slave, presents to the British people the
following plea for the Boston Anti-Slayery Bazaar:
To the Editor Of The Bristol Gazette.
SIR-Thc friendly interest your paper has often
manifested towards the Anti-Slavery cause, induces
me to offer an article for its columns.
AS an American, l have long and attcntively
studied the existence of slavery and its probable
consequences, not only upon that country, but
upon the cause of Freedom throughout the world.
No subject can have stronger claim upon the
attention Of the wise and good everywhere: viewed
either rs q political and social evil, or as a sin and
crime against God.
The slaves in the United States are three and a
half millions. lIalfs-million are now added to
the number in every ten years. Education is for
hidden them by law. Marriage is no more sacred
to them, than to the beasts of the field. Such terms
rs hush and and wife, parent and child, are I'M
known in the vocabulary Of slavery. And, gem
orally, slaves are less considered and cared for
than their masters horses which they groom, or
his hounds that are taught to hunt and tear them
in pieces, if they attempted to fly from his power.
The government is bent on perpetuating the
evil. 1t prevented its abolition in the South Anne
rican Republics as long as possible. But for its
interference, there would probably to-day, have
been no slavery in Cuba. And that island is soon
to be seized and annexed to the United States as
the only means of prolonging the evil on its soil
Texas, New Mexico and California, are already
conquered and secured to slavery. The whole Of
central America, as far down as the vast valley of
the Amazon, has been explored and reported upon
as favorable to slavery, and as by nature a part of
the territory of the United States. And should
the rapacity of the nation continue unchecked, its
southern boundary would in a few years overleap
the topic If Capricorn, and its slaves number a
score of millions. Already 1t is proposed to re-
store the African slave-trade to increase the num-
Der of hapless victims and ministers are found,
even in the Northern States, to defend that traffic
from the Bible, as one Of Gods own plans for the
salvation Of Africa
The moral and religious condition of such a
country, cannot be mistaken. Such evils and
crimes can only spring from a public sentiment,
corrupt in the extreme, no matter what may be the

A MISSOURI VIEW OF THE CASE.


The Westport Mo- News gives its view of
President Picrcc's preicnce for the removal Of Gov.
Recder. It Is as follows
The President, in our opinion, selects the weak.
est point Of complsint-the Governors s~pecula.
tons in the Kaw lnnds, but it enables him to carry
out his miserable policy, originally adopted, and
we doubt not the decision Is already made, and de-.
layed ia its execution for decency's sake, or it may
be that the hearts Of the people may be prepared
for the royal edict.
MANY business men have, with full knowledge,
ocnsidCrc | the price, proposed to DC paid for the
Indian lands are fully equal to their market
value. Aside from the fact, the conditions an
nexed in tho agreement that the President should
first approve relieves the parties from any suspic.
ion of a purpose to defraud the Indians.
We believe that a solemn duty devo!ves on tho
Kansas Legislature to interpose and protest against
the removal of Gov. Reeder on the p~retense pro-
posed. Unless the President will remove him OF
the broad ground of the prostitution Of his oficia
position in aid of Abolitionists, it is fur bette,
that he remain in the enjoyment Of the empty
honor of presiding over q people who have Ions
since ceased to respect him, and who triumpheC
over him and his Abolition allies when he has
some power.
Now he is poweriess, and consequently seeks
martyrs crown. If tho President chooses to plac,
that crown upon his head, let all the glory be his
We hope tho Legislature of Kansas will wasl
their hands Of the appearance, even by implica
ton which their silence would give, of II partcipa
ton in the petty game now being played.

NOT GUILTY.

The Indianapolis Sentinel Democratic makes
the following charge against the Republican Con-
y%ention recently held in that city;
Last year the Fusion party were not sufficiently
Abolitioniael to let "niggers participate in their
Conventions and meetings. But, since Sam has
swallowed Sambo, they arc admitted into fellow
ship, and one of the sable sons of the "down-trod-
den race" was, on the 18th, even invited TO a seat
upon the platform with the officers.
To this the Indianapolis Journal, the Republican
paper, warm with indignation, pleads not gully
as follows
We are not n little surprised al the course of
our Scutiael neighbors. We have expected them
to color the truth somewhat to bolster up the sink
ing ship Of Old Lineism, but we did not suppose i
was in their hearts to perpetrate, ~rilttiily and
kaoiciAylg, such an unmitigated falsehood as th'
above. And we can now hardly believe the edi
tors of the sheet can be guilty, even for party pur
poses of such a trick, but it stands forth in th,
editorials OF the Sentinel Of yesterday, not only il
the quotation above, but in at least two other arti
cles, and unless contradicted We must consider il
placed there by their own direction, knowing when
they did it. that it was utterly false.
1t is well enough perhaps for the Journal to Ger
rect the Sentinel. But certainly it would have
been more in accordance with On anti-slayery pro.
fession, if the correction had been made with an
animus r~ebuking the internal prejudice of the
Sham Democracy rather than seeming to affiliate
with it.

IMPORTANT SOUTHERN CONFESSION

Whilst the present excitement is kept up there
is no probability that Congress will consent to its
admission into the Union as a slave State. 1t is
useless to shut our eyes to the fact that upon this
question the whole North is deeply excited. and
that viewing the Nebraska act as a breach of faith
they will unitedly resist the effort to consummate
it by the recognition of Slavery into Kansas. We
may protest against the injustice of such a course,
and condemn it as an assault upon the c~onstitu-
tional rights of the Sonth, but the result will not
be altered. What then is to be done Ultras's
will tell US that disunion is the only resource
That denied her rights and outraged by the North
the South must secede from the Union. We, how.
ever, do not believe in Gisunion as a care for any
evil that may afiict any section of the country,
nor do we really apprehend its adopiion.-Balt

Let all who feel an interest in the cause Of
Freedom strive to be present. The platform Of
the Society is free and all who desire to present
their peculiar views, or advocate their particular,
plan of action for the overthrow Of Slavery, will
be cordially welcome.
In these days, when the Southern Oligarchy il
making its desperate moves, when the Anti,Slavery

Messrs. Editors 1t is highly amusing to witness
the windy efforts Of the Old Line Pre-Slavery
leaders to get up a ~mad-dog hue and cry of "Abo-
lition" against the Republican Party. Truth and
facts warrant us IN retorting the epithet of 'aboli-
tionists" upon them. Do they not 90 for the abo-
litiou of Freedom in the Territories2 Do they not
90 for the abolition Of the principles of the Decla-
ration of Independence, by pronouncing it to be q
"selfevident lie"-a %nullity? Are they not to a
man in favor Of the abolition Of good faith and Of
all compromises that are intended to secure the
equal rights of Freedom Do they not keep them
selves as dumb dogs in reference to tie outrages
in Kansas, and thereby favor the abolition of free
speech and free labor in the Territories2 Are
they not openly expousing the abolition of our lem
perance laws, and consequently using THAR inhu-
ence in behalf of the abolition of sobriety, domes-
tic peace and public virtue2 Verify they are abo-
litionists, every mothers son of them, and we are
very decidedly of the opinion that every thing
should be called by its right name. Therefore,
henceforth let them be called the abolition party
par excellence!

started in life as u Presbyterian clergyman. He
then Joined the Baptists then became a Campbell.

1t is such instruments that Slavery employs to

REACTION IL MIssoURr..-A Law and order meet.
ing was held lately by the ~citiEons of Ray county
Mo-, at which, while denouncing "abolitionism in
its true meaning" they declared in favor of abid-
ing by the laws of Missouri and the United States
as being sufficient to guard their rights and prop
erty, and opposed TO all mobs to drive men either
to religious or political measures" A resolution
was also adopted to support no man for public Of
ice who had in any way proved himself in favor OF
mobs. There seems to be a reactionary movement
taking place in Missouri, of which this meeting is
thus far the most favorable indication We have seen.

at which Judge Kane sent Passmore Williamson
to Jail for contempt of Court, the colored people
were excluded by the door keepers of the Court
room. With remarkable liberality, however, they
were permitted to look through the windows at

was just as well merited though he yet lives, as

AN INCIDENT IN THE WAR OF 1912.

At the battle of Platt>burch, i'll 1872, du-
RING the din and uproar of the heavy canon
AIDE ON lake and land, there appeared before
the commandin" officer an unknown Indian
clad in the widest savage costume, covered
with paint and armed to the teeth, who gave
information of the approach through the
woods on the South bank of the Saranac, OF 4
considerable body of the British, accompan-
led bv band of Hurons or Canadian Indians,
who acted as guides and scouts.
1t is we'll known that one column of the
British army, under command of General
Brisbane, had approached PlattSburgh from
the west, along the Beckmant0wn road, to the
North of the Saranac The american Army
was now entrcnched on the south bank, in the
angle of the river and the lake. 1t will there
fore be readily understood that the approach
of this force would place the Americans III a
position sufficiently critical, to say nothing of
the dangers to which they were already expo
sed
The information brought hv the savage was
too important to be overlooked, and yet came
in too suspicious manner to be wholly trust
cd. The officer therefore, interrogatcl the
messenger.
"Who are YOU, my friend - said he.
"Mohicnn," was the laconic reply.

the officer, still looking upon with him with
suspicion.

savage, holding up both his hands and spread,

they took their silent way through the woods,
up the south bank of the Saranac, down which
the new hostile force was reported to be COM

THE LOCATION OF HELL.

The following account Of the sermon recent
" preached in Nanhatianyllc, y. Y, bS
Father Walworth, Catholic clergyman. III
which he cndcavorS to luc=t. He'll. will be read
with curiosity if not with interest. The ac,
count is taken from the New York Post, and
was furnished by member Of the Catholic
Church,
He began by a<Suming that there was a Hell
for the eternal punishment ofunrcpcntant sill,
ncrS. after death. This Wis q cardinal point
of belief in the Church. adopted from It's car-
lic>t f,rnation and incoltcStably proved by
the Scriptures, and to be a> fully recognised

tablShcL article Of faith Where, then, he
asked Was this He'll! Was it near OF remote:
Was it an IMAGINARY place. or was it tixcd'
tangible, material Il place of physical as well
as mental torment! I'pon this point the
Church had never formally passed; while re-
coenising the existence ola Hell, she had ncv-
cr imposed any belief in its locality upon Cath
olics as an article of faith but he should show
them, by the evidence OF the Scripture, that,
practically, this Hell .,SaEo imaginary place
Of torment, but fixed, 3 ncarat hand, be-
meath our very feet, in M centre of this earth
on which we tread.
Some had supposed that one Of the distant
planets or fixed stars had been appropriated
by the Creator for the abQ'c Of the damned ;
others that He'll was far away, beyond human
sight and almost beyond human conception ;
but all our prcconccivcd notions oft, were at
variance with the opinions. The Scriptures
had invariably spoken of Hell as beneath us,
not above, or far rcmovel--ls Heaven was
above, and the souls Of the righteous were
said to ascend to Heaven so the damned Dr.
sccut7c1, went down to Hell. Thus KOrah
and his companions, wAo rebelled against the
Lord in the wilderness, went down bodily into
the earth, which opened to receive them; they
were not translated to another sphere to receive
their punishment, but "went down alive into
the pit" or in other words, descended into
He'll on the very spot where they sinned -
Again, the rich man, tormepted i'll Hell, "lift-
cd uphis eyes, and saw Lazarus i'll Abraham $
boSom and to his cntreatisc for succor and III
tcrccs<ions, Abraham had replied: " between
us and you there is great gulf fixed" So,
too, Christ in the parable Of the marriage feast
said: 'take him aud bind him hand and foot
and cast him into utter darkness"
He cited many other texts from Scripture
to fix this locality, and deduced, as conclu-
sion theretrom, that Hell must necessarily be
i'll the centre of this earth, as i'll no other way
could our conceptions of its position beneath
| us, as defined i'll the Scriptures, be adequately

the stings of conscience. Mind and body
would suffer alike, but upon those members
whcrcwith we had sinncd the most deeply
