Take Particular Notice.
There is an evil habit sometimes INDUCED in

TO matrimonial happiness, but gives rise TO
series of protracteG, lnsidious, and devastating
affections
: Few of those who give way to this PERM
cious practice are aware of the consequences
until they find the nervous system shattered,
feel strange and unaccountabe sensations, and
vapue fears in the mind. (See pages p, %,

The unfortunate thus affected become fecb-

The Religious Element

OF opposition to human oppression and
degradation, is becoming more developed
by the Dred Scott decision.
The last No of the Methodist Quarterly
Reriiew contains most able and searching
articles against slavery, from the pens Of
its editor, DR.. " Whedon, and Abel Stevens.
[, The attempt to cxpel Rev. DR.. Cheever
from his church in New York city, for the
crime of preaching against the sin Of Slav-
cry, was an utter failure.
The Old School Presbyterians have been
regarded rs the most " conservative on
the slavery question Of all orthodox demo-
limitations at the North. But the decision
of the Roman Catholic Chief Justice, that
the colorcd race has no rights mhich 'rhites
are bound to respect, is abhorreut to the
moral sense of the followers Of Calvin, of
Knox, of Withcrspoon, and the Presbyer-
ian worthics-ministers and laymen-who
took such a conspicuous stand for Liberty
in Our great Revolution......Thc Richland
Presbytcry, on the 10th ult., adopted the
following resolution, unanimously:
"Resolred, That We consider the testimony Of
the General Assembly 20. S) on the subject
of slavery, from the beginning Of that body in
1883, up 10 the present, as one and UNIFORM
(whcn rightly understood) against the siare
system. as being of Divine right and of perpet-
ual continuance; or that those protesting god
liLcss should voluntarily avail themselves of
the privileges of the slave laws for their own
profit or indulgence, and against the ceasing
| Of desire and effort for the complete deliver
ance of the church and the world from the
system and its effects and inasmuch as
there appears TO be an increasing disposition
mantle sted in Southern authors, presses, and
speakers, in and out Of the Church, not only
to justify slaveholding in certain circumstan-
ces, but the slave laws which authorize them
to hold them; we wish, it, therefore, TO be un-
derstood wherever our testimony may go, that
we will not tolerate any retrocession of prin-
clple from that heretofore promulsed by the
. General Assembly, from time TO time, on this
/ subject; that instead Of the Church refracting
, her steps on this subject, she ought to be, ,Uith
more earnestness, expecting the eonsunsmation ct
the period, Uhen erery yoke shall be broken and
the outeast, Of erery nation shall rejoice in all
the prriieges, eiriI and religious, which it is the
design of the Gospel to procure"

BLOODY RIor IN New YoRK.-The
city Of New York was the scene of terrible
riots commencing on the fourth Of July
and continuing all through Sunday. The
disturbances originated in an old feud be-
tween two parties of rowdics known as the
"Dead Rabbits and the "Bowery Boys" /"
The disturbances became so great that
three regiments Of the State troops we're
called ou: to suppress them. Several of
the streets we're barricaded, and Ere arms
used freely. Seven persons were killed
and forty or fifty wounded, many of them
supposed to be mortally. A six pound
howitzer was taken from one of the gangs
BY the police and military. 1t is said to
have been charged with grape shot and
ready for use. III, H.. u

JUNE 2s,. lS57.-The charges from st.
Louis to Council Bluff. were S25 fare and
$3.50 per hundred for freight, and from
there to my contemplated destination
l25 miles further-we should have to get
as VIC best could. Not being well, and not
belonging to that portion of Gods creation
who the Supreme Court pronounce mere
"freight," l changed my course here.
Illinois is the best adapted to farming OF
any country ever saw. I do love to ride
over prairie 20 miles wide, and see 600
or 700 acres of wheat in one enclosure,
waving in the breeze, without bare spot.
Corn is somewhat backward, but farmers
talk about its being as high as their heads
in two weeks: if that proves true, there
will be some awful stretching in the corn
fields. But there is no doubt that all
crops will be good.
The fun loving have had some amuse-
ment here recently. Since 'Long John"
Wentworth left the Democracy, they had
suit brought against him for some canvas
bags retained by him, in which he had
sent home some "Pub. Doc" away back
when he was "good Democrat" Member
of Congress. The "pure" Democracy said
be had "stolcn mail bags" Wentworth
thereupon found out that Judge Douglass
had more such bags than he had, and had
like suit instituted against him wherein
upon the Democracy were glad to drop it,
and decided that those "bags" were not
mail bags "arter all !" ct is amusing,
by the way, to see the "little Giant and
his Administration twisting and screwing
to maintain their favorite doctrine Of
"squatter sovereignty" 1t will not work
to their satisfaction. The Utah Mormons
have got what the lawyers call snap
judgment" on them, and they know not
what to do.)
How are you getting along under the
lead of the noble Wilmot! My prayer is
that you may succeed in maintaining the
rights of all men, but if you should be
defeated it is a consolation to the upright
to know that it is better to be defeated
with the right than to succeed with the
wrong. Certain it is, that if right doe:
fail for time, it will eventually triumph
