We find the following in a letter written from
this city to the New York Tribune. The scene oc-
Cured on the Cincinnati and Indianapolis Rail
road :-Cin. Gazette.
One incident on the road did not excite any
pleasure. The Hon. Thomas Corwin got into the
ladies' car at Cincinnati, with n company of
friends, on his way to Chicago, as | was told. lie
is still very lame-in fact, almost helpless-from
the serious accident by which his thigh was bro
ken last winter. | do not think he could walk the
length of a car in motion, and being so much an
invalid, he had a colored man in attendance upon
him. This man was with Mr.. Corwin, and was
elected by the conductor from the car, although
Mr.. Corwjn asked that he might be allowed to re-
main to wait on him. He was told in reply that il
the man would not go into another car, he would
be put out at the next station, and that if he-Mr.
C.-felt so strong a desire TO be with the man, he
might either 20 into another car, or they might
both stop at the next station. | did not see this
transaction, although in the same train; but | re-
late the facts as the cOnductor-in all other respects
very gentlemanly in his ~ways-related it to me-
Another thing | did see. A colored man well
dressed--and from his manner and dress | took
him to be a clergyman-got in at on. of the sta
tons, and he was obliged to show his pass, which
of course, the conductor retained. The whole
look of the thing was odious. Excepting these
incidental occurrences, | was greatly gratiied with
my ride on this road. Its management is very gu.
uerior, and | think it cannot fail to be profitable as
an investment.

SCENE IN THE HOUSE OF REPREsEN
TATIVES,

During the discussions on the army bill in the
House just before its adjournment. Brooks endea-
vored to get up a little scene.
Mr.. Giddings, in behalf the House members Of
committee, in a clear AMI bold statement, OK planned
to the House the reasons of n second disagreement
vindicating its action, urging Representatives to
adhere to the provisos, and charging the RESPONSE
bility for the failure of the bill upon the Senate.
While thus speaking Of Kansas affairs, he said
that attempts had been made to suppress freedom
of speech"
MIR. Brooks took this ms personal, and rose to
demand an explanation. For about five minutes,
quite a scene ensued, and it required all the chair
m~anship even of Speaker Banks to subdue the
uproar. Giddings refused to be interrupted, and
Bully Brooks was induced, by the explanations OF
his friends, who had apprehended more correctly
the bearing of Mr., Gidding's remarks, to take his
seat. 1t was rather exciting for a time. Brooks
would arise-"Mr. Speaker, the gentleman from
Ohio has made an allusion which demands ex,
PLANTATION; | respectfully insist on an explanation. -
Speaker Bdnks-"The gentleman from South
Carolina is plainly not in order"
BrookS-Mr.S Speaker ask a respectful question
Ivenerate gray hairs, but"
Speaker Banks-"The gentleman is out of order.
He will resume his seat"
GiddingS-"The gentleman from South Carolina
has once given US TO understand that be would take
nc notice of such members as /. and | only desire
that he would extend the same favor to me now.''

SORRY FOR IT."

We fear Mr.. Brooks has made an imprudent re-
mark in his closing speech in the House. lie says
that if Mr.. Sumner had wrested the cane from his
hand, he might have done what he should have
been sorry for all his life; that is to say, he might
have killed him, and that he would hare been sorry
for ii. We apprehend that this admission viii!
not help Mr.. Brooks with his constituents. Has
it come to this, that the mere Staying of an Aboli-
ZIONIST should be a matter of regret to one Of the
chivalry? Does Nj. Brooks mean to say that he
would really have been sorry if he had killed a

DO not think that such q man will be likely TO re-
ceive Senatorial honors; he will doubtless receive
the endorsement of his immediate constituency for

MEETING AT DEER CREEK.

The Anti-Slovery meeting held August 18th, ia
the grove near Pierce's mill in Stark County, was
numerously attended. 1t organised by the APP
pointment of Abram Gaskill chairman, and A.
Brooke Secretary. AS there were no instructions
to report the proceedings for any paper shall offer
but a brief and informal account Of 1t to the Bu-
guile. The speakers who excessively occupied
the attention of the audience were VIM. Holiday
of Lima; MIR. Pryne of Ravenna, Edward Patter-
son of Alliance, Mr.. Randall of New York, D. G.
Gilbert of Atwater, Mr.. Pryne in response to him
and VIM. Myers, of New Lisbon. The princi-
pal topic of discussion was the principles Of the
Republican party and the pretensions of their can
didates, which were criticised with apparent fair
ness, but with less than the severity Of the whole
truth, connected with the advocacy Of Gertit
Smiths claims to the Presidency. The Disunior
movemen. was also criticised with the usual mis-
representation of it as q no-government party, hut
as the discussion mainly took the shape Of a con-
fict of opinion between those who propose to re.
form the people by the operations of the national
Government, its friends were content to remain
nearly silent. The expose, made with great abiIi-
ty by Messrs. Randall and Pryne, of the pro.sla-
very influence and position Of the Republican par
ty, was listened to with deep attention and had its
effect upon the minds of the listeners. The de-
fence attempted for it only served to bring out
more prominently its dement's. 1t is greatly to be
regretted, the fine abilities and the undoubted
moral stamina of those terming themselves Radi-
cal A6olItionists should lose so much Of their eff
cheney by the delusive mist through which they
view the Constitution of the United States. They
equally with ourselves aim at Revolution, and they
misunderstood us entirely, unless they wilfully
misrepresent us when they characterize us as a no
government party. A. BROOKE.

REASONS WHY METHODISTS SHOULD
NOT SUPPORT FILLMORE.

A former knownothing in New York, Chaun.
cey Shaaer, Esq, who has gone over to Fremont,
gives the following reasons why he, as a methodist,
should not support Fillmore. They are equally
good for repudiating Buchanan.
"There are other objections to my supporting
Mr.. Fillmore, founded upon the fact stated by the
Citizen, that belong to the Methodist church.
The church owes slavery no particular good will,
for slavery has rent that church in twain; has i'm.
prisoned women for teaching the slave to read the
Bible, and has sought in every way to destroy that
church, as being the opponent of slavery most to
be feared. Let facts speak. Last winter, a min
lister of the Methodist church, in Missouri, was ar
rested when in the pulpit by q gang Of men, (who,
if they live. will probably vote for Mr.. Fillmore)
who w%antonly and falsely charged him with horse
stealing; and without allowing him time to put on
his overcoat, mounted him on a horse, drove him
some seventeen miles, threw him into a cherries
room, without fire, there left him to die, and there
he died.
My informant is a Bishop of the Methodist
Church, and spoke Of his own knowledge.
Another instance: The Rev. Mr.. Wiley and about
thirty other ministers of the Methodist Church
have been assailed in their churches and driven
from place to place, like beasts of prey, their lives
being every day in imminent peril;
Another instance In Kansas, a Methodist min
lister was whipped, tarrod and f~eathered, tied to a
i0S NV SCI Ou II utloSOull JlNtT.
Another instances: Very recently n Methodist
minister in Missouri while preaching, was drag
ged from his pulpit and tarred and feathered;
while an old Methodist layman, for the crime of
specialization against such conduct was shot; and
it is u notorious fact, and one which will not adj
NIT of controversy, that a minister of my church
cannot preach the Gospel in the State of Missouri,
or the Territory of Kansas, but at the peril of his
life and yet | find no reproot of these outrages
either in the Philadelphia platform or in any Of the
speeches of Mr.. Fillmore.
Mr.. Shaffer might have added, that he also finds
no reproof of these outrages in the Methodist
Church. The General Conference of that Church
has metand separated since those outrages, without
r~ebuking them Or expressing sympathy with their
mobbed brethren, and so far as we know, most, il
not all the Annual Conferences have been equally
silent. Is it less an outrage that ministers Of re
ligion should be dumb dogs in such a case, than
that politicians should be. If Mr.. Shaffer is iusti
fed by these reasons for becoming a comeoutei
from the Fillmore Party, he is ~culpabie, for retain
ing his fellowship in the Methodist Church.

DEATH OF MRS. REMONp.


DlED-In Salem, ON Friday morning last, Aug.
10Th, Mrs. Any MATILDA, wife of Mr.. CHARLES
LENox REMoND, aged AZ years,
Mrs. II. was a daughter of the late Rev. PETER
WILLIAMS, of New York city, and remarkable for
her many virtues and excellencies of character
As n daughter, wife, mother, she was oil that love
and affection could develop in mortal form. As a
friend, her attachment was warm and enduring.
Her very presence was q benediction the mag
netism OF her spirit inspired and controlled all
who made her acquaintance her daily life was
equally beautiful and strengthening. We shall ev-
or cherish her memory with admiration and graft.
tude. AT the earliest period of the Anti Slavery
movement, she esqoused it with zeal and devotion,
and never forgot its claims nor inexperienced the
true issue of the hour. Personally identified with
an oppressed and prescribed portion Of the Amer
lean people, she SCARED far above the meanness of
an irrational prejudice, and did much for its ex.
~tirpation by the b~cnignity other temper, the good.
ness of her heart, and the lovliness and dignity of
her person. Her translation will be deeply lament
ed by a wide circle rs no ordinary loss.
In consequence of this sad event, Mr.. Remond will
not be able to attend our Anniversary as previously
announced. In a recent letter addressed to us he
says -
II need not assure you of the disappointment l
experience in this sad event to fulfil my promise
made to you 10 be present at the approaching An.
niyerary of the Nv. A.. S. Society and to spend
time with my Sister, Mr.. Foss and others in
your State, Michigan, Illinos, &C., But duties to
my family and especially to the two Orphan boys
now with me will detain me for the present."

POLITICS DIVORCED FROM MORAL PRIN
CIpLE.


The following extract is taken from y sermon
recently preached by DR.. Tyng. Episcopal to his
people in Philadelphia, and which caused no small
disturbance among them.
kindred and consequential to these has beer
another sin-the entire divorce OF the whole sys-
TEN of politics from the fear of God. by a strange
confusion of moral sense, obligation to party is
made unquestionable and supreme. No matter
what may be the character of it's agents-no mat.
ter what may be the evil principles or ubiquitous
measures incorporated in its action, how many
good men there are whom the single coneidera-
ton, that it is the action of their own party is
enough. They ask no questions, listen to no ar
guments, recognize no higher authority. How
few Christian men ever think of taking counsel of
God in questions Of public affairs, and giving reli-
gion the control of their politics. How few citi-
zens recognize their responsibility to God for their
political influence.
How few men Of principle bring their political
conduct to the same tests as their ordinary inter
course. Now, let it be remembered, that the ulti-
mate responsibility of every measure rests with
the people, and in this matter as in all other, each
one must answer for himself. Caucuses of the
idle and dissolute may nominate whom they please
leaders OF political parties may venture on what
iniquities they will, but to the people belongs the
responsibility of their adoption. Without the
sanction of the people they sink into the obscurity
which they deserve. 1t is on this principle that
God is dealing with us as q people. The Ameri-
can peopls have been characterized by a blind and
INSCRIPTIONS adherence to party-the political
morality of our country has become a bye.word
and n h~issing-the whole people 10y negligence or
party spirit. have become partakers in the
guilt of actions which, if they had not been in
politics, would be a loathing to the moral sense of
the community. And, therefore, God has punish
ed the nation with the Legitimate results of their
own misconduct.
For these national offences God has justly
brought upon us disgrace and suffering, and a dis
cord which threatens the direst disasters in the

H ANNIVERSARY.

To day the Annual meeting of the Yves
tern Anti-Slavery Society, commences in this
place. We hope then to see a large assembly
of the Friends of the slave from all parts of the
Country. The cause Of the oppressed white men
in Kansas calls 10th assemblies of earnest sympa-
thizers, by thousands and tens of thousands in our
State, and shall not the more urgent cry of our
millions of perishing slaves be heard. VIII not
our citizens come at their call to give their sympa-
thy and bcstow their aid2 We hope for a large
gathering. We expect it.
So far as speakers are concerned, there will DC
unusual inducements for attendance. A recent
letter from Mr.. Pillsbury places his attendance Re.
yond doubt, if his life and health are spared. MIR.
Remond of Massachusetts, one Of the most clio.
quent orators Of the country, is expected. An.
drew T.. Foss, a sturdy champion of Freedom from
New Hampshire, will be here; as also, Oliver John
son, of New York, whom the abolitionists of Ohio
know and will rejoice to welcome. VIM. G. Nell
Of Massachusetts,a sterling friend of the slave will
also be present, besides our friends from
this section of the country, among whom we ex
pect Mr.. John NJ. Langston, of Lorraine county
an acc ,mplished speaker and an earnest friend O
the cause.
The meeting will commence at 10 O'Clock or
Saturday the Both inst, at the Friends Meeting
House, and will continue during that and the TIVE
subsequent days. The meetings ON Sunday viii
probably be held in the grove at the Fair GrounC
on the Can't Id road.
Our friends need not decline coming for fear o
lack OF accommodations. The citizens of Salem
will be found ready to welcome them with a liber
a. hospitality. There are also two large Temperate
Hotels in the place-Tbe Farquhar House mt
the Wilson House, while tlose who prefer i
may find comfortable accommodation in privat
boarding houses, for a reasonable consideration.

ing account of his movements.
WEsrGRoyE, Chester Co.. Pa,
Aug. 10, 1856.
FRIEND WALcuT: | am moving about in this and
Lancaster counties, fulfilling my appointments,
and endcavoring to show to all, both Jews and
Greeks, the more excellent way of securing the
triumphs Of freedom and the overthrow of slavery
than by rushing into any political party. and with
drawing their energies from every other point, in
order to concentrate all on the election of Col. Ere
mont. The Fremont enthusiasm is very great
here. exceeding any thing ! have seen in New
England. l frankly admit to them, that all the
political anti-slavery there is embodied in the Re-
publican party; but | argue to them, that it is
wholly inadequate to the purposes of Freedom.
and to save us from the tolls of the Slave Power.
Some of the Fremont people are very earnest in
iaboring with me, to induce me to omit all discus
sion of the United States Constitution, and of Dis.
union, and Non-Voting. They speak at my meet
ings and they call on me in private. / remind
them of their own motto, Free soil, free labor,
free speech, &c. DR.. Snodgrass was at one Of my
lectures, and made quite a clever speech, in on
swer to one of these Fremont oljectors. For him
self, he reduced (e said) that l had spoken as i
had-hoped l should 60 on-wished that the
agents of the American Anti-Slave ~ Society
might go through the country though t it was tho
time of all others for the Garrisonian doctrines TO
be proclaimed. &c. This, coup led with his an
nouncement that he was in the county partly with
tho view IF Spnnxinu for Fremont tooG tho othora
quite aback. l believe | shall be able to save some
of the old non coterS on principle from baekslid-
ing into the halfway house Of politics; and if D
can influence any others to come up, even so far
as to the Fremont standard, | shall not regret it.

SWINDLER.

One day last week Harry Webb, a colorec man
of Pittsburgh, came to Salem and represented TO
one of our colored citizens, Frederick Long, n
young man Of undoubted integrity, that there were
at Atwater, six f~ugitives who were in need of help
to get on to Canada, and desired him to make n col
lection in Salem for their aid. lie Immediately
went to work and collected the sum of SIS, 60, il
a very short time. In the course of the collection,
some one suggested that there might be some.
thing wrong and in consequence Long refused to
oay over the money to Webb, and told him he
would 20 along to Atwater. This he did and found
no such persons as reported there none
had been there. Webb then proposed they should
divide the funds and report that the fugitives had
been forwarded on. This proposition was declin
ed. and Long returned leaving his companion be-
hind.
The money was collected in small sums and no
record kept of the amount received Of different
individuals, which rendered it impossible to re.
fund to each the amount Of his contribution
At the suggestion therefore, of several Of the con.
tributors and the approval of others, he deposited
the money with Joel Mcmillan to be used in aid of
future travellers from the South as occasion shall
arise; and already one poor refugee, a woman has
received aid from the fund. We presume this ar
rangement will be entirely satisfactory to all the
contributors. We make the statement at the re-
quest Of our young fri0nd who made the collection
and who is entitled to much credit for his careful
and skillful management of the whole affair.
