among its leading men as this. lie would take
Wm. ii. Seward, because he was the best zap
plausel why should he not take tho best as an
illustration ?-Mr. Seward never yet denied that
the Constitution had unrighteous and pro slavery
clauses in it, and yet there clauses in it that
he would cut of his right hand rather than obey,
though he had sworn to support it. That was
American craftsmanship. No Englishman ever
avowed that his government was wrong and then
supported it; no Frenchman ever avowed that his
emperor was q scamp and then swore allegiance to
him. Arago the head Of science was asked to
acknowledge, by oath, the existence of the titled
assassin of France and he refused-and all Europe
said Amen. In Americah he who refused allegiance
to the government was fanatic over-scrupulous,
and people asked him where he picked up such an
absurd idea.
Then, coming down to the level of the masses
of men, the New York Observer found fault with
the Independent for maintaining that Christian
ought not to obey wicked law. With 1881 years
of Christianity with 10000 Churches in the land,
the American pulpit, which is perfectly certain
that dancing is sin, has not had time to find out
whether Christian ought to obey wicked law or
not (arplanse), but waits for further light and
wants time for discussion. lie would like to take
some recreant Doctor Of Divinity by the nape of
the neck and lead him out by the line of crosses
that stretches out miles from Rome, on each of
which hung, in the third century,a Christian body
dead and set on fire by the emperor, because they
would not acknowledge law that they thought
wicked (appluse). lie would like to have DR..
Spring preach to Brick Church audience, on the
duty of obeying law that they thought wicked,
by the light of the burning Christians whom
Domitan dipped in pitch and set on fire at twilight,
because they would not acknowledge him for en-
peror (applause).
Mr.. Phillips then proceeded to demonstrate that
the South was bankrupt, and not able to buy the
crutches with which to walk out of the Union. A
million OF people in Massachusetts,, working, day
and night with hand and brain, were able to lay
up only net profit of from four to six per cent.
What, then, could be expected Of South Carolina,
with one-half of the population-the whites-per-
forming no labor and the black population only
one-third the labor Of a freeman? A best it was
as if one quarter were working to support the
three quarters OF course South Carolina was
bankrupt. What could South Carolina do toI
sustain separate government, with such pop
ulation?
With some further remarks in this strain, and
an apology for appealing to such low motives, Mr.,
Phillips concluded his speech.
Adjourned till Wednesday morning, ...

WITNESSES OF THE WRONG.

| Careless observers not unfrequently at q
! loss to know why it is that Northern men trouble
themselves with slavery. They see not why we
should so concern ourselves with the fate of a race
remote from doors and of different color.
But the reason is apparent enough to all who
not blinded by avarce, or stupefed by ignorance.
We are witness Of a great moral and political crime
! the attempt 10 6rmyy Whote race of men. This
is the secret OF the zeal everywhere prevalent in
the North. From our free homes, we look out
upon the regions of slavery, and see berate
effort TO crush four millions of men into brutes
A dominant class, has converted government
into robbery--has blotted out three millions from
the list of men, and made them chattels. This
property, thus made in defiance of justice, is sub
jected to all the laws Of property-is bought and
sold whipped and worked, bred and fed, precisely
as so many cattle or horses would be. Man is
dragged down from his GOd-given position among
rational beings, and made to serve as BRUTE to
! live as a brute, and to die as brute And this
great crime goes in spite of the resusctating n
| fluence of Christianity. y.-Churches, abominable as
| it may seem, cOnnive at this wickedness, and in
suit God, by affecting to have his sanction for the
enormity. In the South, statesmen, civilians, and
divines, combine to crush the African into the dust
they would break the charter of the slaves ex-
istence and blot out all traces Of his manhood.
! This, though not possible, is but the ordinary
! height of their wicked ambition We are specta-
tors of this horrible outrage. Instead of helping
a miserable race existing around them. we
them contriving every possible means for increas-
ing their degradation. Laws are made against
their education they not allowed to marry,
and forced to spend all their days in aduterous
connections they are not allowed to hold any
property; their children and themselves are
bought and sold and separated precisely as the
cattle in the field. they not allowed to have
conscience of their own, and consequently can
have no religion. OF these horrible wrongs We
are witnesses, and must either sanction them by
our silence, or condemn them by our words.-As
, no honest man can do the former we choose to do
latter. in a way not to be mistaken.-We purpose
10 state the thing not in general way, accompan-
led by regretful apologetic remarks. wherein tho
Shareholder is merely counted as unfortunate
we scorn this vile, excusatory treatment Of such
inefable vilany, as much as we do the villany
ITSELF and shall call the sin by its right name, and
| fix it upon the right person. 1t is this purpose
which makes our course so peculiarly offensive to
| shareholders. They care not straw for any gen.
eral censure so long there is any saving clause
that can be made to screen them from the inlamy.
No matter how loud the clamor against theft even
among thieves, such general defamation will give

THE PRAYER or rHE eErRoTHEb.

THE PRAYER OF THE BETRoTHED,
A lady in the st. Louis Union, over the $
nature of INEz, portrays her thoughts in
ioPowing beautiful verses, on the eve OF
marriages
Father, come before thy throne,
With low and bended knee,
10 thank Thee, with grateful tone,
For all thy love to me.
Forgive me, if my heart this hour,
give not all to Thee,
For deepgafection's mighty power,
Divides it now with Thee.
Thou knowest, Father, every thought,
That wakes within my breast, s..
And how this heart has vainly sought
10 keep its love suppressed.
Yet when the idol, worshipped one,
Sits fondly by my side, g
And breathes the VOWS cannot shun,
To me- his destined bride.
5 Forgive me, if the loving kiss,
He leaves upon my brow,
Is thought of in an hour like this,
And thrills me even now.
He's chosen me to be his love
And comforter through life .a
Enable me, Ohi God, to prove
A loving, faithful wife.
lie knows not, Father, all the deep
Affections 1 control
The thousand loving thoughts that sweep
Resistless o'er my soul
He knows not each deep tount OF love
That gushes warm and free
Nor can he ever, ever, prove
My warm idolatry.
Then guard him, Father-round his way
Thy choicest blessings cast,
And reEder each successive day
Still happier than the last.
And Father, grant us so to live,
That when this life is Ger,
Within the happy home you give,
Wen meet to part no more.

news from Philadelphia and other cities of the

As we sow, so must we expect to reap. The

i When that mass OF folly and msrepresenta-

lS46-appeared, the world was informed that
the new era Of commercial independence was
opened for this country in general, and the
City of New-York in particular. New York
was to be freed from proFincial-like depeh-

tor of wealth, the city of cities. 1t requires
no special vaticinatlon TO say that New York
will ultimately be the chief commercial city OF
the world but the particular premises Of Mr.
Secretary Walker have been tlatly denied by
the facts of the last ten years. First, the val

accident of the discovery Of the mines in Cali

so that it is impossible to be had at anything
