PROGRESS OF THE ANTI SLAVERY
CAUSE IN ENGLAND,

The assault on Mr.. Sumner and the events in
Kansas have proven powerful snmulants to the
true anti.slavery conversion of the English people,
Whatever their apathy before, they are now forced
TO sec not only that a slaveholding people cannot
be a free people. but that a nation can never be
powerful, happy, and united while ruled by a
compact o~hligarcy Of Shareholders. whose policy
is necessarily hostile ~ free speech, n free press,
free labor, free education. and all the other essen
tial constituents Of a free community. Every
Engli ihman now knows that liberty and slavery
are waging an internecine war in the United
States that the truce between them. whicl Amer
can statesman have vainly attempted to maintain
is no longer possible and that gre OF the other
must succomb. We have heard Of an American
traveller who complained that while 10 England he
had only met with one gentleman. When asked
10 explain, he said that one had never talked t.
him about slavery Accepting this definition We
think we may safely promise our future Ameri
can visitors that they will look in vain through
the three Kingdoms for a single gentleman. In al
the leading reviews, magazines, and journals o
sny importance, this subject has been 50 fully auc

DISUNION PETITION.

Deeply impressed with the fact that We cannot
indulge any reasonable hope of the emancipation
of the millions Of American Slaves, while their
oppressors are admitted to an equal participation
with non-slaveholders in the administration of the
national government, the Executive Commute of
the Western Anti-Slavery Society have prepared
petitions asking our State Legislature to take the
necessary preliminary steps fJr tn. withdrawal
of Ohio from her present union with the slave
claiming States. They also set forth most sub
stantial reasons for the adoption of this measure
in the above address prepared by one of their
number. We ask for this address a careful perusal,
and q candid consideration of its facts and argu-
ments. We append also a form of Petition which
we hope will be copied and extensively circulated
in every neighSorhood where there is to Se found
II single friend Of the measure. When all the
names that can be procured are attached, send il
on to the Senator or Representative Of the District
in which the petitioners reside with a request for
its presentation, and that he will take measures to
secure for it q fair hearing and appropriate ref
ference by the body Of which he is a member. II
vigorous efforts are made we feel well assured thai
numerous signatures may be obtained to the peti
ton and much good effected by the discussions
which it's circulation and presentation will in
evi,ably arouse.

C0LUMBIANA. :

on Saturday last according to appointment, we
attempted to get to Columbiana for a meeting,
but by tho interposition--not Of Divine Providence
but OF the tardy Railroad train, we failed to ar.
rive there until nine o'clock in the evening, by
winch time the audience had assembled, exhaust.
cd their patience in waiting and dispersed. Such
q termination of our appointment we deeply re.
gret, but We had no remedy. We regret it the
more as we learn that the au Hence in the school
house, the only place that could be procured
for such a meeting, was very respectable in num-
bers considering the fact that next door the Meth.
odists had a revival meeting in progress whichlhad
been continued for three weeks. But the rumor
of our meeting had evidently provoked the pious
brethren to add to their piety at least the sem.
blance Of good works, as they caused it to be pub.
lished that on the same evening there would be an
anti-slavery sermon preached in the Methodist
house and that certain letters which our friend
John Copeland had addressed to the leading min.
listers would be reviewed. Could we have got there
the Columbianians would have had the opportunity
ct making a selection Of anti.slavery sermons
We are told that the staple of the preaching dur.
ing this prOtracted meeting, which by the way has
not been very successful in making converts, has
been denunciation of infdelity, which probably
means abolitionism, and such we are informed was
its character on this evening. However if an J
anti-slavery truth was told we arc heartily glad Of
it and whoever was benefited thereby is probably
indebted to our threatened advent in town. W.
assure our friends they must not calculate on be
ing relieved from our presence again by railroad
interference. for the next time we shall not wal
for the last train.
On Sunday afternoon and evening we spoke il
a school house two miles east of the village to in
telligent and apparently interested audiences. 1
was to us a very pleasant occasion and our friend
seemed to think not a proftless one to others. Their
are some faithful and true friends Of freedom il
Columbiana and its vicinity.
Two dollars were contributed to the society b,
four persons after the close of the meeting.

PETITION
To the Senate and House Of Representatives Of
lie State of Ohio,

The Memorial Of the undersigned, citizens OF
County, Ohio, respectfully represents,
That from the nature of the case and from all our
past experience, il is manifest that the existing
union between the free and slave States involves
all the supporters of our national government in
the support Of American Slavery that the Union
instead of securing to us and our ~posterity the
blessings of liberty, has been and still is the most
efficient means of crushing out the personal liberty
Of tho citizens of all the States and Of perpet-
uating and extending Slavery: and as there is no
possibility of amending or altering the Federal
Constitution while the present Union lasts; Aud
as tie advantages which as citizens of Ohio we
can derive from the general government can be
more certainly and abundantly secured outside of
the Federal Union, therefore we request that you
will take the necessary preliminary measures for
the withdrawal of Ohio from the present Union,
and the establishment Of a government which
shall be uncompromisingly the friend and sup.

The following, from two OF the prominent sup
porters . fFremunt in New York, tells its own
story.
BREAKING UP THE CoPARTNEsurP -Our honest
and amiable contemporaries Of the Tribune seem to
think that the entire assets of he Republican party,
which recently failed in business, belong exclusive
ly TO them. We must demur to this decision. We
became n partner in this concern and contributed
Il large amount of capital to set it going. We la
bored, too, with Some considerable effect; and but
for the treachery and folly Of some Of our Nssoci-
ates in the same cause we should have established
the, business on n permanent footing and placed
the head Of the concern in its proper position. We
think, therefore, in looking over the assets Of the
late Republican party, that our honest c%0ntemp0'
rary has made a mistake in supposing that the
stock in trade belongs to them, and that it consists
of their peculiar anti-slavery ideas. That won't
do. The capital we son ributed to the firm was
not anti ,slayery-never will be anti'slayery. The
votes for Fremont numbered nearly one million and
eight hundred thousand: and We venture to say
that of this vast array not one'tenth were anti
slayerymen. in the sense of our amia6le and philo-
sophical contemporaries of the Tribune.
The Tribune will remember hereafter not to APP
~propriate political property which don't belong ~
IT, and not seek to monopolize or use that which
they have an equal right to elaim,-N. y. Herald.

JOHN PHOENIX UPON GEORGE WASH

From an Grafton reputed to have been delivered
at Fort Vancouver, w r.. on the Fourth Of July.
1856, 10y John Ph@nix c, S, D., Sergeant Major

extract the following:

him a name that will endure forever, if pusterity

a portrait, by Gilbert Stuart, of this great sol

graved, on the History of the United States : but
as it was taken when the General was in the act

1t appears, then. tina. in 1865 Virginia and South
Carolina contained a great majority of all the ne
Groes ia the American Colonies. Georgia and
North Carolina contained n proportion nearly ms
great. South Carolina never abandoned the Slave
trade while she could help it.
We shall furnish but two more facts for this his
torical summary. In 1913 there were 5000 ne
groes imported into the port of Charleston alone,
viz:
From the West Indies. (26 vessels,) 700
From the N. Colonies, &c vessels 40
From Africa, (33 ~veSselS,l 5,73l
In 1888 were imported into Charleston:
From Africa and the West Indies, 1908
From st. Augustine, l6I
In the next year, tl784l
From Africa and the West Indies, 4.020
From ST. Augustine, l,911
Total in 1884, 6,5G2
In three reported years we find about thirteen
thousand negro s}dUes imported into Charleston
We give this on the authority Of Holmes Annals,
q perfectly reliable work.
We gather from these facts two quite obvious
conclusions. First: 1t is plain that the suppress
sion of the African Slave Trade was a thing ahSo-
lutely necessary to the safety and prosperity of
the Colonies. The cultivation Of rice, tobacco, and
subsequently Of cotton, had introduced vast hOrles
of Africans. Instructions had occurred, and in
Virginia, Carolina and Georgia, the slaves were
rapidly growing out of all proportion to the whites.
Avariee was fast destroying humanity, and the
American Colonies would have been Africanized
in every sense Of the word, had not the Slave
Trade been suppressed. Next, we observe, that
the slave influence has always flowed from the
same great centres, Virginia and the Carnlinas.-
From there it has flowed southwest, happily with
out the power Of increasing its volume by Afri
can additions.
We repeat what We at first expressed, that we dc
not believe the slave trade can be revived; but it
will not injure and may benefit the public welfare,
to bear in mind the progress and characteristics OF
this inhuman traffic.

FATHER MATHEW, the renowned APOSTLE of
Temperance. died ut Cork on the 9th of December.
His career has been remarkable, and his influence
among his countrymen in Great Britain and
America will long be felt. Theubald Mathew was
born in ThVmastown, Ireland, Oct. 10, 1870. He
was left an orphan at an early age, adopted by
IN aunt and educated in Kilkenny Academy and
Mt MaynOOth. lie was ordained to the uriesthuod
at Dublin. having previously entered upon his phi,
lan.hruyicl abors among the poor. The curse OF
whisky, brought so fearlully to his notice among
these wretched people, reused him to dnwontcd
enthusiasm, and he determined upon a crusade
against the demon Of Alcohol. Adjoining the
principle of total abstinence, he commenced n
series Of meetings, and soon n rakened the latent
enthusiasm Of the Irish nature to his assistance,
meeting with a success beyond the widest hopes.
lie travelled from town to town through all the
Island. His SpotlesS fame preceded him and his
progress was one %triumphal march. The author
tiles unhent their dignity to do him honor, and
the people followed aud crowded around him with
alteration. lie administered the pledge to thous-
ands at a time ut Nenagh to twenty thousand in
one day at Galway a hundred thousand in two
days between Galway and Loughrear to nearly
two hundred thousand. Through NIL this Ilercn-
lean labor he never amaSsed n cent for himself,
but was constantly in a state Of persona! poverty.
When he began his good work his brother was the
proprietor OF q large distil cry. He supported
Theobald until his wonderful success had ruined
the distillery, and reduced the owner 70 hpnk-
ruptcy. To meet the wants Of the good Samaritan
the British Government settled an annuity Of G300
upon him, which sum was Just sufficient to pay
the premium upon an insurance policy held hv his
creditors as security for their Tribune.

THE INCENDIARY ABOLITIONIsTS

A New VIEW OF THEIR WIcKEDNEss.-A writer
in the New Orleans PicayuHe, in treating of the
dangers arising from the admission of North
ern books into Southern communities. describes
them as haVirg been wItten wih a cieW If array
ing children against tier parents. and consequent
iy parents against their children; referring, evidently,
to S,dreS, and their slaveholding ''pa'entS."
Well. this is Il %tuucring appeal, wo Confess
the most So we remember to have met with, on
this topic. At the thought Of direful STRIFE be
tween parents and children" we are almost in
clihed tn desiot, and leave our brethren Of the
South" with their children" to their coveted
DOMESTIC repose.
But let us look a little more closely into the
matter. What Il condition of things must that be
in the South, that could warrant such apprehen
sions? What is the relation between parent,
and children" in the slave States And how arr
children" treated Wy their ''parents?" Do the,
buy and sell them like cattle? Do they lurbi,
them education ? Do they dehar them from thu
s~anctities of marriage aud herd them together lik,
beasts? Do they drive them, during life, to IN
paid labor, ut the crack Of the whip? And is i
because Northern writer's sometimes hint that TIL
is not exactly Christian-like and proper, that thei
books would"array children against their parents
and consequently parents against their children !?
