We find the friends of Freedom on the ad-
vance in this section, vigilantly watching the
signs of the times. No political movement
ignoring the great and paramount issue of Sla-
very, can receive any support from the great
body of voters in Southern Ohio The people
are willing to-aye, already have thrown old
party associations to the winds Their old a2sO-
ciations-association to which they were attach
ed by years Of toil-we-a sacrificed at the de-
mand of principle. The political gambler that
hopes to secure their adherence to any new or
ganization, at a sacrifice of principles, will
count without his host. Parties must hereafter
be subservient to principles, not principle to
parties.
There is a deep-seated feeling existing in the
minds of the Northern people against the insti-
tuition of Slavery. That feeling has been arous.
ed to united action, that can only be checked
by wiping away all responsibility resting on the
North for its further extension or perpetuation.
The real enemy of despotism hates it in all it's
shapes. He who would burst the bars of igno-
rance and superstition with which tho priest
binds the intellects and conscienees of the peo.
pie, will detest that cruel oppression which en-.
slaves the intellect, the conscience, and body of
Its victims. The true antagonist of Slavery ia
If consistent, the enemy of Romanism. 'Tba

of the priesthood, to keep the massss In mental
darkness, will abhor the system which makes II

an awfully stunning blow. The slave-exteD,

1850 votes for Governor-the greatest num-

From the NIethodis, Protestant.

The following is an extract from an extend
ed poem, but, as a picture, it is complete in
itself We shall be happy to furnish our read
ers with other specimens from the same source,
and hope, at no distant day, to be able to an
nounce-a volume. In recent familiar inter
view with the author, We were permitted to look
over a number of his poems in manuscript, and
we feel sure that duty to himself, to the church,
and to the world, demands that he should pre-
pare them for some permanent form. So few of
our modern poets seek inspiration from the
Fountain of Life-the Book Of God-that poetry
which is Christian in its character has q dou-
bic claim upon the church and the lovers of a
pure literature.
