leagues in the recent General Assembly, at Cleve-

phasis that he was a Northern man ,eith Southern
principles. Aud il we exec pit the writer who, in

JUDGE LEAvIrT.--This notorious legal Kidnapper,
who as judge of the Federal District Court, bore
so distinguished a part in restoring Margaret
Garner and her family to slavery, was a member
of the Old School General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church, lately in session, in Lexington,
Ky. We observe that he figures in that body as
chairman of a committee for the relief CT the desti
tute widows and children Of deceased minister's
One would suppose that in such employment hc
would not fail 10 remember how he had mad,
Margaret Garner and her old mother more thar
widows, aud her infants more than orphans. AnC
yet If he did, not unlikely the recollection was nc
companied with pious selfcomplacency, Will,
greeted with the approval of Kentucky Presbyter
ians to whom he had returned their escaped bu
man chattels. Such is the influence of successful
iniquity, no matter how gross its character, whe:
1t Is rewarded with popular applause. But th,
church that welcomes, honors, and follows sucl
criminals as spiritual guides and civil rulers, wha
shali,what can be said of it? And the people VIII,
support and honor such a church as the emil obi
ment of Divinity, theoretically and practically
how blind, how morally besotted. Till they hav
u clear er spiritual vision and a purer and highe
standard of Christianity, how can we expect then
to be other than willing partners with kidnapper
and pirates. 1t will not yet do for moral suasiol
abolitionsts to abandon their work for polite
al partisanship. They have need to oxpend all
and a thousand fold more than all, of their vigo
and labor in morally educating the nation an,
bringing il to the practical recognition of the sim
pies principles OF justice. The blind guides of tn
church have led the besotted people Of the natio1
into the slough of slavery and there they are con
tent to wallow, and will be content till somethin
of q moral renovation is effected.
