The Democrats Of Schuykn. at their late county

ResolDsd, That GOV. Polock's Know Moth
Ing ''Jug Law instead OF Improving the morals
OF the community, viii have the contrary effect,
that It's parentage IS in kind with the ianaiclsm
now raging in the most OF the Northern States,
particularly ~ Maine and Massachusetts, where
negro stealing, notification, violation Of the
Constitution, and the numbering by Neal Dow
(tbe author of the Maine prohbitory law Of an
innocent man are By the Know Noihings and
Abolitionists justified.
Re&oiued. That the administration Of Coy.
Pollock and the acts of the Know Nothing

ways than one, particularly by increasing tax

ResoIred That our Senator and member OF

slavery i'm the Early Church.

Translated from Chattel's Influence OF Charity in
the FIRST Christian Ages, written in Freneh.l
ESQ many amthors have treated Of the influence OF
Christianity upon the amelioraton Of slavery, and
many have done il in manner SO learned and pro-
found that il would be supertuons now TO enter IN
to any long details upon this subject We shall con-
fine ourselves to brief auslon 10 The principles oil
the Church in relation 10 it.
..The doctrines OF the Church. says NJ. WALTON, On
his History o. Slavery Frenc) must lead TO the ab-
clifton OF slavery. Blu. the Apostles did not require
it, and the fathers of the church even alter the per-
secuiion {beioEe the time OF Constantlne) did not
find themselves in the best condition 10 accomplish
il, for after as well BEFORE the public establishment
of the faith, the old society, even under Christian
Princess continued bound by all lis habits, TO the m
stituton OF slavery. Something was needed, beside
legislation, 10 change this state OF things Inc
change required revolutions and, that II nAlght
be permanent it was not so much the slave that
was 60 be taken from his master, II was the mas
ter who was 10 be detached from slavery by the SEN
timent of The dignity of man. But the process was
slow; and besides, there was one which was stu
more grave and pressing, which was the freeing Of
souls from the yoke OF SIN.
The Church also abstained from exciting slaves to
seek their emancipation, Test their efforts IN farer Of
temporal liberty should divert their attention ffom
spiritual liberty, which is of higher value. Why,
said ST. Chryso.torn did the Apostles allow slavery
10 continue! That you might appreciate the value
OF liberty of the sou for, just miracle was
needed 10 preserve the bodies OF the three cbldFen
m the furnace 50 there is less grandeur IN suppress
ing slavery than in showing liberty even IN one 5
own bosom.
.sMasters might therefore, retain their slaves
without eeasing to be Christians, The Church, al
the council Of Gansra, formally condemned the kus-
tethians of CapPedocia, who refused the titie Of
Christian 10 every possessor OF slaves and the CIR
eumcelliones Of Africa, who urged the slaves to re-

Chief Justice Lewis Recent opinion.

We copy the following from the Washington
Union OF a late date
We have once more to congratulate the coun-
try upon the manliness and independence OF the
State of Pennsylvania Chief Justice Lewis, of
Supreme Court Of that State, upon petition for
a writ of ha5eas corpus on the relation Of Pass
more WillarSon has refused 10 issue the writ,
having decided, as every principle oi.Tight re-
quired him 10 decide, that Williamson, having
been committed by competent Court for con-
tempt in making false return under oath be-
fore that Court, could not be discharged bv anv
other Court, ard must remain in prison to pay
the penalty Of bis witul perjury. We rejoice
to see that Chief Justice Lewis has the courage
to give official expression to his legal convic-
tions. IT welding 10 the clamor al abolition
maniacs, he. dsrrgarding the law, had UNDER
taken to release Williamson, the Marshal Of the
United States would Of course have refused obe-
dience to the order. In that case, the Chief
Justice, having entered upon the career of error,
would have been constrained to perSevere in it,
and to order he commitment OF the marshal by
a State sheriff. TheFeupon the marshal would
himself have applied for writ OF hobeas corpps
to the United States Court and il the sheriff
refused 10 obey this writ and release the mar
shaI, then the sheriff would be committed bv
the United States Judge and SO on, nj in fni-
tum, until the sheriff and all his deputies, and
the marshal and all his deputies, were held IN
confinement one by the other, and all law and
all justice utterly prostrated in Pennsylvania,
in order to enable PasSmore Williamson TO COM
init robbery and perjury with impnnity. For
tunately for the State of Pennsylvania and for
the United States, Chief Justice Lewis had too
much respect for the rules Of law to commit
this outrage upon the courts either of the State
or the United States. Once more, then the
State Of Pennsylvania stands forth as the great
bulwark ofthe Constitution and of the Union
EFFEcTs oE THE YELLOW FEvER.-Accounts
from Portsmouth, Va, give melancholy pic
ture of the condition of that city. About 5000
persons have fled from it, The whole surroun-
ding country is overrun With the fugitves, who
ill barns, kitchens, churches, school-houses,
and dwellings. The town looks quite deserted,
entire streets having only one or two families
remaining, districts depopulated, hotels and
stores closed, business suspended, and society

COMMENCEMENT OF THE LOUISVILLE RIor
We extract the following from the Louisville
Courier:
Captain Thomas, highly respectable and
intelligent citizen OF Madison, desires US to state
that before any difficulty bad commenced, he
was passing down Market street, and saw ahead
of him three decent, genteel appearing Irish
men, who turned off at Tenth street. Reaching
Main he observed man rush out and knock
one of the Irishmen down, while the others
were chased across the street into house, and
then the firing commenced from windows
This, Capt. Thomas says, was the commence
ment OF the whole trouble, growing out Of an
unprovoked assault upon an Irshman who. was
quietly passing along the street.
