Cd The following is copy of protest Of
tho Southern members who seceeded from the
New School Presbyterian General Assembly,
Ut it, session At Cleveland:
Protest. I'VE, the undersigned, Southern
Ministers and Ruling Elders, protest against
the present decision of the General Assem-.
bly,.
We protcs.-becausc while tho past General
Assemblies hare asserted that the system of
slavery is wrong. they have heretofore affirmed
that the sla, eh0lder was 80 controlled by State
laws, that he was, as thus situated. without
edium or censure as to the matter. This aver
ment in the testimony of past Assemblies has
20 far Satisfied tlla South as to make it unnec.
essary to more than protect against the mere
anti-slavery part of such testimony.
We protest then. now, that the present act
Of the Assembly is such an assertion Of the sin
of slavery, as degrades the whole Northern
Church-an assertion without the authority of
God or tie organic law Of the Presbyterian
Church.
We protest that such an action il, under
present conditions, the virtual extending of
the South whatever be the motives Of those
who vote the deed.
We protest that such indirect excision 10 un.
righteous, oppressive and uncalled for-that ex.
trcise Of usurpcd power-destructive of tho uni
~ of our branch Of the Church, hurtful to the
North and the South, and adding to the peril of
re union Of these States.

DL.aCK TIGER
&

THIs Celebrated MORGAN HORSE Wilt
stand in Elkader, Farmersburgh and Mo-
mona, during the season of 1857. From and
after June Let, TleER will stand on mondays ae
Farmersburgh, on Tuesdays at Monona and tl,~
balance of the week at EIkader.
BLACK TIGER stands Is hands and one incfn
high. He is years old and weighs 1925 us,
His color is jet black, and for beauty of power,
endurance, speed and undisputable excellence
of blood and style, he is unequalled by any
other horse in the Union.
The TloER was sired by the Old Vermont
Black Hawk, owned by David Hill Of Bridge
port. Black Hawk was sired by Sherman Nor.
gan, he by Justin Morgan. The dam of T1oxss
was Cynthia Pierce, an Imported Blood Mare,
Cynthia was Is hands high and weighed l2Oes
pounds; she was powerful as lion and - hande.
some as picture.
Tiger has trotted mile in 2-54 without train
ing; he has stood three seasons in Vermont, apci
can show very promising premium colts. Tho
character of Morgan stock is SO well established
that it is not deemed necessary to 90 into de-
tail. 1t stands confessedly at the head of ALI
bloods for speed, endurance and general excel
lencc.
Good pasture will be provided for mares, but
the undersigned will not be responsible for as-
cidcnts. escapes or theft.

more if there should be foal
As rumors are afioat that the Tiger il not a
fast trotter, wish to state will wager $1,000
that he can trOt mile in less than three nnutss:
the money to be put up July lst, and the trial
to take place on the lot of October.
