THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Most Of the judicatories of the Presbyterian
Church in its various branches are at this time in
session in different parts of the country. But
from them the slave has little to hope, though
they probably cannot escape as they would from
all consideration of the subject.
The Old School General Assembly is now in
session at Lexington. Ky.
The New School at Cleveland, o.
The Cumberland at Lexington, Mo.
The Reformed 4 Presbyterian (Covenanter) at
Cedarvillc, o.
The Associate (Seceder) at Philadelphia, Pa.
The Associate Reformed (UnionistI at New
York City.
The Old School Presbyterian Church has OF
late years been gradually decreasing in numbers
in the North and increasing at the South and is
less disturbed with anti-slavery agitation than its
New School sister. We have as yet seen no re
port Of the proceedings of it's General Assembly
was in session that would be of interest to our
readers, except that it has voted next year to go
still further south. 1t meets in New Orleans in
1858. These Old School theologians know where
their friends are TO be found. and show a strong
instructive tondness for their society. The reason
urged for the meeting at New Orleans was the fact
that the number Of churches and members had
recently greatly incr eased in shat vicinity.

TIE SLAVE TRADE TO BE REVIVED.

Among the moral reforms proposed in the South
We noticed, during the Presidential campaign, a
plan to revive the slave trade. 1t was then
thought to be a political charge but. time has
worn away, and politicl excitement with it, and
yet we Ind all that was then charged is strictly
true. There are influential men in the South try.
ing .expedients, at this moment, to revive the slave
trade; We take the following paragraph from
The South
In virtue of its territorial relations and its con-
nection with slavery, this country is peculiarly in
terested IN the experiment to revive the prosperity
OF the West India Islands. Who knows but that
the ascortained and admitted necessity of compul-
sorry negro labor in the tropics may operate a re-
peal to the foolish interdict against the slave trade ?
who knows but that it may correct the moral de-
pravity OF cbristendOm, and ~reinstate slavery in
the confidence of mankind For the wants Of
white men must triumph over the negro's absurd
claim to liberty any deficiency in the supply Of
tro pical productions will be made good, if neces
sary, by the establishment of slavery and the
slave trade. Idle scruples may postpone the day,
but in time the tropical regions Of this continent
will be rescued from decay and s%terility by tn,
compulsory labor of negroes. There is no other
solution of the problem. The wOrll will not suffel
the wealth Of the tropics to waste in undevelopeC
profusion-and if African slavery be essential tt
its enjoyment, then the world will demand the re
vival and extension of African slavery.

ANTI-SLAVERY SATURNALTA.

The .comemoration of the anniversary of the
american anti-slavery s~sciety" in New York on
Tuesday and Wednesday, judging from the pub
'lished proceedings, was well worthy the occasion
and the fanatics and fools who participated in its
insane orgies. Men, women and children, white
and black, were in attendance, to feast upon the
outpourings of a contemplate crew of hypocrites
and traitors, who are rebels alike against the laws
of God and man.
Rev. Andrew T.. Foss, in the course of his re-
marks, averred that "had the Angel Gabriel done
what our revolutionary fathers did he would have
been q scoundrel for it," that there never was an
hour when this blasphemous and infamous gov
eminent should be made, and now the hour was
to be prayed for when that disgrace to humanity
should be dashed to pieces forever = be declared
himself a TRAITOR TO the oppressive government,
and an infdel to a pro-slavery church." rebuked
Banks, Hale and Wilson, as unworthy representa-
tives of the anti.slavery cause, and pronounced
Charles Sumner the only man from the North, who
stood in Congress true to principle. One Of the
abolition AmaZ0ns arose, in the person Of Mrs.
Abby Kelly Foster, and appealed to the meeting
for material add to the cause of freedom. Rev.
Octavius Forthingham, OF Jersey City, opened his
addressewith a classical allusion drawing q para.
ifel between Cassandra, the daughter Of old Priam,
and the anti.slavery society. lie was by no means
encouraged by the aspect of the political skies.
and believed that this Union effectualIy preyen-
ted them from advancing, in the least degree, the
work of the slaves redemption" Mr.. Garrison
confessed that the prospect looked gloomy" de-
nounced the conduct Of the large number who left
the house when the collectors ,cere going throuqh
heiaudience, as cowardly and mean. Abolition
sympathy is much more profusely expended on
such occasions than money. Mr.. Garrison also
declared the election of Mr.. Buchanan to have
been unconstitutional &c. Mr. Edmund Quincy
was particularly war-like in his remarks, in which
he expressed a wish for a dissolution of the Union,
in order that Massachusetts might be left free to
right her own wrongs-tbat she would then find
no difficulty in sending her ships to Charleston and
laying that city in ashes. Massachusetts,, he
thought, could "whip South Carolina with one
hand tied behind her." Mss Frances Ellen
Watkins, a mulauo girl, late of Baltimore, was in
tIoduced next. She delivered a lecture, which
was received with applause.
Mr.. VIM. Wells Brown, a fugitive slave, and
delegate from Massachusetts, was full Of fight and
fury in favor Of his culared 6ruddcrs oh de Souf.
Mr.. Burleigh differed from his friend Brown"
lie held that a servile revolt in the South would
be neither polite nor wise. at was not the doc.
trine of the anti-slavery society" After LAYING
on the table several resolutions, at the close of the
proceedings, the meeting ajourned sine die on
Wednesday evening.
The few extracts which we have here given from
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1857-05-30

he proceedings of the second day Of the session,
as published in the New York Herald, are enough
to satisfy Southern men that they have an enemy
totally lost to the influence of argument or the re-
monstrances Of reason. But this school of fanat.
les is less dangerous with its virulence and venom,
than those who are calmer in council and more
methodical iI action.
Such men as Seward, and Greedy. and Giddings,
wbo deliberately count the cost and calculate the
chances. are much more to be dreaded than the eff
iorts OF rockingham and Foss, Mrs. AbbyiKelly
Foster, Miss Frances Ellen Watkins and NJ VIM
wells Brown. This anti slavery society is truly
SAD commentary upon civilization and upon hnmar
nature. When white men can come down to q bro
therhood and companionship with negroes, and
white women and mulattoes are delivering ad
dresses in the same asseniblage, it wonld slmos
seem that society itself is as yet an experiment
threatened with failure.

AMERICAN HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY

This influential religious organization has hither-
to been in favor Of aiding and fellowshiping slave.
holding churches. But it, like the American
Tract Society, has at length acknowledged the in
Auence of the agitation of the abolitionists by the
adoption Of the following resolution:
"Resolved, That in the disbursement of the
funds committed to their trust, the Committee
riU not grant aid TO churches contaiain0 slarehOid.
ing members, unless Evidence be furnished that The
relation is such asa in the judgment Of The Commit.
Tee, is juS'yfa6ie, for the lime being, IN the peculiar
circumstances IN uhich ii crisis"
We ,hould be glad to know what circumstances
in the estimation of the Home Missionary Society,
render slaveholding justifable. Were these pious
diyines themselves numbered with the slaves, we
greatly doubt whether my such circumstances
could be found. They would then be ready to de.
cline aiding a slaveholding christianity under any
circumstances. The resolution so far as it's anti.
slavery character is concerned is of no Importance,
The action of the Society under it may be anti.
slavery or pro-slavery Of the most ultra stamp,
according to the opinions and prejudices of its
managers. I. is like the provision in the Discipline
of the Methodist Episcopal Church prohibiting the
buying and selling for purposes Of gain, which is
anti-slavery enough for the preachers of the
North and sufficiently pro-slavery to satisfy the
Gorsnches, and other shareholders and kidnappers
in the Southern portion of the Church. But
though this resolution il not an anti SLAVERY resolu.
ton it is an act of homage to the fidelity OF
abolitionists which is full of encouragement to
them to persevere in their rebukes and exposure
of all union and completely with the wrong. If it
is not anti-slavcry, its authors designed that it
should seem so to be. Perseverance and fidelity
may yet secure the reality of which this is only
the seeming, even from the AGamses, Lords and
Hopkinses Of the American Church. We know
this is a marvellous faith. Burial things are pos
sible to him who belicyeth,O

o. The Legislature of Rhode Island be-
CO ne considerably befogged on hair splitting
point few days since, which resulted as some
of the members declare in an open and fragrant
violation of the State constitution. The Leg
islature convened on Saturday morning and
organized with a quorum. Upon subse-
quent call Of the House, it was ascertained
that there was not even majority present
Some of the members were DESTROYS to adjourn
at once over until Monday. but constitutional
question was sprung, derived from . provision
in the constitution which reads: "No number of
either branch Of the Legislature, less than q
majority shall have power to adjourn only from
day to day." The question was dis
cnssed nearly all day, when it was finally
concluded that as Sabbath breaking was
crime, to set better example to the
law-abiding people than would be the
convocaton Of such har-splitting awmakers
on a day regarded as holy time by most Of
their constituents. During the discussion a
decision Of Judge Cushing was cited to the ef-
feet that though SUNDAY was not an ordinary
sitting day, was one on which either branch
might sit and transact business if it thought
proper.

On Wednesday after calling the roll. mo-
ton was made to insert Senator Woods name
in the Journal wherever it had been omitted
in the votes Of the preceding day; which was
refused. The President then announced that
the time for the joint convention had arrived,
and greeting the chair and followed by the
Democratic Senator's, he repaired TO the House,
from which the Republican members retired
as he entered. The joint convention was
formed by the appointment of new secreta-
~; on call of the roll. it appeared there were

RIVER INrELLsGEN CT.

o. Yesterday was a busy day on the levee,
The steamers Bowling Green, Rainbow, w
L. Ewing, Moses Mcclellan, Chancellor, Dia-
mond and caves, were engaged loading and
unloading The drays were bringing freight
from the warehouses, almost as fast as it was
being placed on the boats. Everything looked
lively and business like. The beautiful Rain
bow has taken her place in the trade for the
season, and the Eaves and Bowling Green,
will continue to bring the produce from Green
River. The boating season promises to be a
profitable one, and we predict that Evansville
will ship more freight to New Orleans than
any point between Cincinnati and Memphis.
At Pittsburg on the 4th, weather warm;
thawing fast and raining, but the river yet
unmovel River rising, and the small streams
running out strong at all points below Pitts
burg. The ice was firm at Madison on the
night of the 4th. River tight at Louisville,
with prospect of speedy breakup. Boats
were to leave for New Orleans on the 5th
from Portland.
The Mississippi at st. Louis was in a con-
dition yesterday morning to prevent passen-
gers from taking the Ohio and Mississippi
train for Vincennes. No further particulars.
OF The river was expected to break up
at Cincinnati on Wednesday. Lively times
were anticipated, and steamboatmen were
very solicit as to the safety OF Their boats.
OF Capt Broadwell of the Eclipse, de
clines a contest with the fast Natchez. 1t will
be remembered Capt. feathers offered to bet
from ten to twenty thousand dollars that the
Natchez could beat any other boat that nayi-
gates the Mississippi. t..--

from Louisville last night-the first boat

0rMr. Buchanan attended the funeral OBJ
sequies of Mr.. Brooks, when It is Said by the
New York Tribune, his friends "seized the &C.
casion to pay him their respects" Where
upon the Tribune adds:
Seized the occasional cynic might indulge
in sardonic grin at the expression. While
all that is left of public man is carried slow
ly down the avenue, TO the tomb-while the
tears are not yet dry upon the faces Of Messrs.
Toombs and keitt-the mourners are meta
morphosed into courtiers Sinking and "boo-
ing' around the new dispenser Of power and
patronage. What an astonishing place for the
first reception Of President elect! What an
occasion" to seize for worshipping the ris-
ng sun! There has been nothing like it since

o. The story about revolt in the Au-
burn, N. T., penitentiary, turns out to be great
ly exaggerated. The Auburn Advertiser says
that prisoner was dealt with for disobeying
the rules and was placed in close confinement,
some of the convicts asked for but did not de-
mand his release, as was reported. The
Keeper did not comply with the request, bu,
ordered them back to their work, which they
did. The discipline Of the prison was not com
promised. The convict imprisoned for in
subordination were released as soon as the
circumstances OF the case were investigated
The late tragidees in the Boston prison hal
induced the keepers to adopt more rigid dici
pline than usual.

OF There appears to be some doubts in
in the minds Of some Of Mr. Summers party,
in Massachusetts,, as to the sincerity, or suf-
ficiency of the reasons given COR not taking
his seat in the United States Senate. A
Springfield paper Of the Republican stamp
says Sumner looks as we'll as ever he did, and
thinks he ought not to remain out of his seat
longer on the mere plea Of nervousness. This
paper suggests that he take his seat at once
or resign and permit the party to elect Mr.
Speaker Banks.

Ut The break-upo OF the immense amount
Of ice in the river has disappointed everybody.
The river rose moderately and the ice glided
away so quietly as scarcely to produce the
least alarm among steamboat or wharf-boat-
men, although they had taken all the precau-
tons fo- general crash. Navigation has
opened in good earnest, and the seasons busl-
ness is nearly all yet to be done. Freights
are opening at moderate prices at this point,
considering the circumstances of the river be-
ing for month unnavigable and the great ac-
emulation of produce in the hands of ship
.pers to he forwarded. But small portion
of the hog crop has yet gone forward. The
corn crop mostly remains in the hands OF the
producers, large portion Of which has been
sacked and awaiting the opening of the river
for shipment The prospect is very fiatter-
ing for large increase in the shipping of pro-
duce this season, over any previous year
The rates of freighss from this point have al
ways been. moderate, compared with other
shipping points on the river. Our commission
merchants are determined to maintain just
and equitable principle Of rates between ship
pers and steamboatmen. Shippers in the in
terror have not failed to observe this and it
has had an important influence in bringing
trade to our wharf. The superiority of Ev-
ansville, as a shipping point, will be fully sus-
tanned the ensuing season, from present in
locations. 4. a.l, .l.-
