QIIo JOURNAL OF EDucAT1oN.-The February
number OF this monthly is not up to the average of
interest and ability 1t has heretofore maintained.
1t contains an article suggesting the application Of
'iccimals to weights and measures, as it is now ap-
piled to crrren y. Certainly it would greatly sim
pity business transactions.

ARE THE CHURCHES .ANTI-SLAvERr?-In answer
to this question, a correspondent of the Christian
Press, says, tn 1t the receipts IF the American
TRAIT Society for 1854 were S4l5,370. The re-
tceipts of the American Sunday School Union.

Both these associations are decidedly Iyo-slnvcry :
carefully expurgating from their publications
every paragraph and sentence, that could by pos
Nibllity condemn slaveholdiuG with any of its in
seperable crimes. On the other hand, the Amcri.
can Tract and Book Society, which publishes anti
slavery among other tracts received 81. SOB. And
the Massachusetts, Sunday School Society, which
does not exclude all reference to slavery, received
'S3l, al. Making a total for these two incidcn.

erence in favor Of the two pro.slavery associations,
.SG74,5 So.
These figures afford rs favorable n test of the
of the churches and their sympathies
slavery-ward, rs perhaps any other. 1t should be
remembered too, that the money received for the
support Of all these associations is principally
raised in the North.
"Where yOa9' treasures are there miW yOur hearts
be also" is ascripture maxim which neither chris
tian nor infdel calls in question. The treasures
OF a great majority of northern church members
are with slavery. These too are their hearts.
CHARAcTERIsTIC.-SlaveholdeIs graduate their
joy at the birth of human beings, and their grief
at their death, by their value in dollars and cents.
Witness the following language of the Tobacco
Plant, IL Virginia paper:
The clothes Of "A poor girl took fire while she
was sleeping on her chair and she was burned to
death. Says the 7oLGcco Plant, "she uas one file
.Hkeiest girls zee erer sac, and routd hare sold for
one thousand dollars on tie GIock.!'
Slavery can thus coolly calculate the money
value of a human soul. 1t knows no other stand
ard by which to estimate the value of its victims.
And canting church members thus make their es-
Inmates, and then with their Sunday breath and
whining tone, tell us that their souls are immortal
and purchased with the priceless blood of the Son
Of God. What horrid hypocrisy!

TIE UNA.-Wo are happy again to welcome the
Una, after its brief suspension. As heretofore,
1t is devoted to the elevation of woman" A no.
bic ohject-nonc more grand, holy and comprehcn-
sivc. For if woman be elevated, the whole race
must rise to her level. This is inevitable, so long
as the laws of hereditary descent and human edu-
cation and influence remain unchanged. Tho
Una is no Boanerges" in style or langua ce. It
rather prides itself upon its quiet dignity, and
with gcntcel courtesy makes its assaults upon tho
hoary prcrogatives of masculine supremacy. We
sometimes relish a rougher handling ofgiant wrong.
Indeed we think it indispensable nevertheless,
we like the Una. 1t mee.s the wants and the tastes
of a multitude, while shadowing forth the spirit
and philOs"ply Of its conductor. And newspapers
are he 'er OF interest unless they become the en-
bodiment and impersonation of their respective
conductors. They, to he agreeable or useful, must
possess individuality, lraiirg an unmistakablo
impress all their own, morally and intellectually.

Mr.. Durktc is an earnest an;i-slavcry man. None
more thoroughly so, could have been elected to
this office. His former congressional course was
marked with decision and frmntss and as much
of fidelity to freedom as the false position of q
Congressman under a rro.slavery Constitution
would admit. and we have full confidence that his
future course in congress will no. be unlike his
past.

in mind that these double-laced Democrats
worship the same id0l--Pieroe, and are
moulded together in one loaf to feed the
