sALurATIoYs TO THE FRIENDS of Truth. Purity and
Progress, in every part of tho land, without dis,
~iinction of sex, sect, party or color, earnestly in
viting their presence at its THIRD ANNUAL

The chief Characteristic Of tho Progressive
Friends, by which they are distinguished from
nearly every other Religious, Society, is seen in
the fact, that they prescribe no system Of the
illogical belief as a test of membership but invite
to equal cooperation all who regard mankind MS

of showing their faith in God, not 10y asserting to

THE EUROPEAN A

The late arrivals from Europe, bring painful
intelligence. There is no hope Of peace, but a
fearful prospect that all Europe may yet be deluged
with blood
The Conference at Vienna had broken up, after
holding twelve sessions. Russia refused to accede
to the demands of the Allies.
The bombardment of Sevastopol commenced on
the 9th uit. and had continued without Interrupt
ton up to the 18th, five hundred guns and mOrtars
pouring in an uninterrupted storm OF shot and
shells upon the city and forts; but up to the latest
dates no assault had been made, nor had any prac-
ticablc breach been effected.
The new British loan is sixteen millions sterling,
and had all been taken 10y the Rothschilds.
Napoleon and his Empress Eugenia had been a
week in England, and had been received with the
greatest rejoicing.
1t is reported that England has assented that
Napoleon shall take the command of TIE Allied
army in the Crimea, but the report is doubted.
Lord John Russell and the French Plenipoten-
tiary had left Vienna.
The steamer Asia arrived at Liverpool on the
% ult. All hopes of Austria taking the field
against Russia are ut an end for the present. The
advices from the Crimea say that the two first days
of the bombardment of Sevastapol, the shot and
shell of the Allies done considerable damage to
the city and to the Russian works. During the
of the 18th, the left work of the Allies obtained
considerable advantage over the Russians, who
were ulSlOuSeu from u strongly iOrtineu pOSHloh'
which was taken and kept by the French. The
possession of this position vas of great impor-
lance, as it enabled the Allies to fortify the summit
Of the ravine. Since the commencement Of the
scige five OK the seven Admirals of the Russian
feet at Sevastopol, had either been killed Or died
of disease.
Gortschikoff published an address to the garri-
son. stating that matters look more encouraging to
the ~besieged.
The operations for strengthening the Russian
ports on the Baltic were going on with great r&'
pidity, and zoe, 900 troops are now said to be con-
centrated in the Baltic provinces.
Most of the British advanced squadron for the
Baltic, were detained in the "Great Belt" by the
ice.
The British Parliament assembled on the 10th
ult.
The estimated expenses of the Government fol
the year, is esq. $780, 900, and the Revenue is est,
mated a, G63, 339, 900.
1t is supposed that much party discord will
arise from the manner Iresorted to in securing the
new loan, as it involves a great principle OF
finance.
The visit Of the Emperor and Empress of France,
to England, produced immense excitement. Napo'
leon made q speech upon the occasion of his re-
ception by the Lord Mayor of London, which gave
great satisfaction.

A REV. RUPFIAN.

No great public outrage can well DO committed
without the aid Of hypocritical and unprinciplcd
priests. The following is q speech Of one Of this
port melting the Missouri slaveocrats 10 their out
ragcous invasion Of Kansas. The speaker is ro-
ported ne the Reverend Leander Kerr. The speech
was made a. Platte City, Mo-, on the eve Of the
late election in Kansas. The Rev. Lcander Kerr

the most efficient means at my command to expel
him. l would not sit down and ponder upon hon

walton.
Talk not Of hon orable and lawful means save
the law Of self preservation, against men who
trample alike the laws of heaven and your coun-
try under their feet. Talk not Of honorable means
towards men from whose hands you might as well
expect honor, and justice, and magnanimity, az to
look for grapes and oranges among tho polar hills
of ice and snow, or the roseate blush of health on
tthe check Of death. Men, men, who know as lit

tales are out of place in the heat of battle, or in
tho midst of storm and shipwreck.
Honorable warfare is for honorable heroes, not
for robbers and banditti; and such these abolition
lists are. They are coming here to run off your
slaves; they avow their purpose; and when they
have stolen your last slave, they will steal your
other property too; and they will do it on princi-
ple; for these rascals do everything on principle;
they will rob you of other property to prevent you
from purchasing more slaves. And when one Of
these men are caught in the act, and whipped, or
strung up, or tarred and feathered; what howl OF
pious indi rings through all the abolition
communities against the barbarity of the slave
owners; as we'll might the highwayman or the mid
might robber exclaim against the law that arrests
him, or the hand that strikes him down in his deed
of crime.
Gentlemen. you know I do not counsel violence
and bloodshed. nor do l, unless in the defence of
your legitimate rights and interests, and you were
compelled to do it, then you would be justified by
the laws Of God and your country. But resist
OWL; resist the Devil and he will fee from you; and
resist his children-this vile sbolition spawn al
ready transported to Kansas like cattle to the
shambles, and more to be transported; resist them
all and they will scatter, for they arc as c~owardly
as they were infamous, contemplate and vile. The

MARRIAGE OF LUCY sToNE.

LrcT SToSs was married 10 TrSRr D. DLacK
wsLL OF Cincinnati, on tue 30th Of April, Mt Wesl
Brookfcld, Mass, +. ". Ligginsou, of Worcester
oHeiated at the marriage ceremony, as q part o.
which the following protest was read aud signed.
PROTEST.
While We acknowledge our mutual affection, by
publicly assuming the sacred relationship of bus
band ana wife, yet in justice to ourselves and n
great principle, we deem it a duty to declare thGt
tins act on our part implies no sanction OF, nor
promise Oh voluntary obedience to, such Of the
present laws OF marriage as refuse to recognize
The wife as an independent rational being, while
they confer upon the husband an injurious and un'
natural superiority, investing him with legal pow
ers whleh no honorable man would exercise, and
which no man should possess.
We protest especially against the laws which
give to tue husband
l. The custody of the wife's person
z. The exclusive control and guardianship oil
their children;
D. The ownership Of her personal, and use o.
her real estate, unless previously settled upon her
or placed III the hands Of trustees, as in tho case
of minors, %luuatics and idiots;
4. lhe absolute right to the product of her in
dustry
8. Also against laws which give to the widowel
SO much larger and more permanent an interest il
" - ~ - 10 N''St NiiGl iuth llCN HlNt
to the widow in that of her deceased husband
y. FINALLY, against the whole system by which
the legal existence of the wife is suspended dur
ing marriage 50 that in most States she neither
has II legal part in the choice Of her residence, noi
can she make II will nor sue or he sued in her OWL
name nor inherit property.
we believe that personal independence and
equal human rights cnn never be forfeited, excep'
TOR CRIME that marriag should he an equal and
permanent partnership, and SO recognized by law
that until 1t is 50 recognized, married partner.
should provide against the radical injustice Of pres
eht laws, by every means in their power.
we believe that where domestic difficulties arts,
no appeal should be made to legal tribunals under
existing laws, but that all difficulties should be
submitted to the equitable adjustment of arbitra
tors mutually chosen.
Thus reverencing law, we enter our earnest pro
test against rules and customs which arc unworth,
OF the name, since they violate justice, the essene,
Of Law.

LESSON.

A friend sends us the following.
A late London paper thus discourses a lesson for
US TO learn:
We have no need of churches hung with black
to tell us that this is a season of humiliation and
misfortune. Our whole moral and social atmos-
phero is darkened. There is competency and
misery at home, there is slaughter and starvation
abroad. We are paying, by the blood and wretch
edness of our gallant soldiers, for our sins as a
nation in not looking properly and severely after
the management of our own affairs. We stand
rs mouruers over the death of some of our high
est aspirations, swept away by oui negligence
cause we have allowed, and still allow, the des-
TIMES of the greatest empire in the world to be
vested in the hands of some half.dozen families
in the :ountry-because zee hare not done our duty
the Crimca has become a EAST burial ground for our
best and brarest country.

We learn by the officers of the steamers Genoa
and Edinburg, which arrived Mt this port from the
upper Missouri river yesterday evening, that great
excitement was prevailing in the cities OF LeaVeh-
worth and W eston, on accounted the murder Oh
Mr. Clark committed in the former city. MIR clark,
a pro.slaycry man, was shot and instantly killed
by n lawyer of Leavenworth, named McCrea, an
anti-slayery man.
The quarrel originated ut q squatter meeting
held in Leavenworth on Tuesday morning, May
LIST, on which occasion the parties had some angry
words. McCrea called Clark n liar-Clark struck
him, whereupon the former drew forth a revolver
and shot his antagonist dead on the spot. McCrca
them ttempte to escape by swimming the river,
but was re-taken and conveyed to the guard house
at the Fort. The excitement both at Weston and
Leavenworth was intense, and it was feared that
the mob would tear down the guard house and
lynch the prisoner.
