The decision Of your Supreme Court fills us with
astcnishment, horror and indignation. 1t is, in

even the present system of slavery. All Europe
and the whole civilized world will blush for you.
1t is the first time that l know of, when a whole
race was put without the pale of social life on ac-

THE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.

A meeting of the South Carolina Branch of this
society was holden, last evening. at the Depository
on Chalmers street. The meeting was opened with
prayer by the President.
The object of the meeting was announced to be
the bearing of the report of the Committee ap-
pointed to consider the relations of the South Car
DINA Branch with the Parent Society.
The Committee reported through Gen. w. T..
Martin. The report rehearsed the history of the
American Tract Society. dwelling particularly up
on the abolitionizing tendency of the parent Soci-
ETY. during the last few years, which eliminated in
the last anniversary and, though the South Carroll
ma branch would feel justified in severing the OK
listing connection, on account Of late encroach-
ments, which they believed were opposed to the
Constitution of the parent Society, yet the Com
mittee advised on intermediate, moderate course,
and reported a series of resolutions, declaring
that they will not secede until an opportunity fol
remedial action has been afforded the parent So
ciety that a correspondence be maintained with
kindred Southern branches, with a view to unity
of action that they inspect and pass upon al
books sent into the State by the parent Society
choose their own officers, and in every respec
make ready for an unconditional separation, il
case the parent Society does not relieve hersel
from her present unconstitutiana and hostile pc
sition.
The report is a very able one, firm spoken ant
high toned. 1t will commend itself to all South
ern Christians. 1t will be furnished to the city
press in a few days.
The resolutions excited a very earnest and pro-
longed discussion, but with some very. slight
amendments were accepted and adopted with but
few dissenting voices.
The Committee who drafted the report and res
~olutions consisted of the following gentlemen {:
George A. Trenholm, Esq. Rev. DR.. Bachman,
Rev. DR.. Smythe, Daniel Ravenel, Esq, Rev. j.

HOW THEY DEFEND THEMSELVES.

The Republican papers of Massillon and Canton
are somewhat in difficulty in regard to the outrage
perpetrated on the person Of a colored citizen of
that county. None know better than they, that in
consistency with their professions of anti.slaverv.
they ought to condemn all such outrages by whom
soever perpetrated. But their convictions ara
still stronger that to gain political success, they
must pander to the popular hatred of the pro-
scri6ed class. Hence they choose the latter course,
letting their anti-slavery professions 20 by the

We have received a communication from one

pulsion of q colored man from the table by one Of
the landlords of the Franklin House at Canton.
AS usual the Abolitionist sides with tho loco focos,

the Republicans are inconsistent. Now, the plain
matter of fact is the negro knew that it was not
the custom IF the county for colored men to

taking his seat ut the general table, he knew that

right to go to the table, and abolitiopists and loco

A SIGNIFICANT A C

1t cannot have escaped the observation Of the
public that q large number Of the leading pro-
slavery politicians have engaged of late in extern
sive real estate operations. Mr.. Douglass, aside
from the wealth obtained through his fret mar
riage, has amassed a large fortune by This means.
So, also, has Col. Richardson. Mr.. Breckenridge,
Vice President of the United States, is in the same
category so is Bright of Indiana, Orr of South
Carolina, Toombs of Georgia. Slidell of Louisiana,
Forney of Pennsylvania, and others whose names
need not be mentioned here. 1t will be observed
that a majority of the persons named are resi-
dents Of slaveholding States and themselves slave
holders. while all of them are distinguished lead
ers in the slavery extension party. 1t is natural
to suppose that these men, if honest in their poll
tics, regard slavery as q benefcient institution
especially 80 to the white that it is good
both in its moral and its pecuniary results. and
that free society, in the language of the Richmond
Enquirer is indeed q failure. Such being their
belief, we Of course expect that their private prao.
tice will correspond with their political dogmas
and their public action-that slavery being a
good and bene6cient institution and free society a
failure, they will not only seek to extend and
strengthen the FORMER by their votes in Congress-
by that their investments in real estate will be
made under the shadow Of the benign institution,
and that they would be the last men to become
the owners of soil over which free society extends
its paralyzing sway.
But such is not the fact. Just at this poin,

LIBERALISM.

In the world about us all things terminate, de-
vclop, hasten to maturity and then pass away.
Fixed laws regulate all. The acorn that falls in
the forest bursts forth and, if unmolested becomes
in time the stately oak. But if you injure the
tender shoot, or wrest q single branch from the
infant tree. the beauty of the whole is marred,
and the possibility Of its future perfection forever
stricken from existence. In like manner if you
do violence to either Of the parts of mans physi-
cal organization, nothing except the grave can
ever wholly conceal the blemish. Thus far, as re-
CARDS perfectibility and Wilderness, there is q
perfect analogy between man and materiality.
But man claims a superiority in possessing a soul,
in which, if unmarried, he carries in his bosom the
image of his Creator. Then if it is necessary to
guard the outer man from dang er, to preserve its
Wilderness, how much more important to protect
the inner-real man from anything that would mar
its perfect beauty and integrity. True liberalism
guarantees to every man liberty of thought, free
dom Of action and a whole and perfect manhood.
The great want of our age is not tho multiplicity
of reformatory movements but it is to lead every
man to recognize his Own individuality, and act
his own manly part in the great drama of human
affairs. All the crime, wrstchedness and suffering
that exists in our country or any other upon the
face OF the globe, originates in the individual SUBJ
