The Wheeling KteHigeacer and Wells

pushing forward the frce-laber cause in
Western Virginia. The MtcHigcRccr
has published series of articles showing
the policy Of introducing white labor
The Herald says /: "Thc MieHtjc&ccr is
now doing more for the material advance
ment of the State, than all the political
journals combined and in the certainty
of rcaping the fruits in very few years,

ed by the Richmond press It's doe

long as the dignity of white labor, and
consequent prosperity of Western Nir-
ginia, are concerned"
Speaking Of the anti-slavcry movement
in Missouri, the HerGM says A SINH
lar state of feeling may spring up any
day in Western Virginia, and when it
once starts, it will grow with the increase
Of an avalanche, every successive move
mcnt giving it weight and momentum.
The popular mind is ripening for such
movement. The parallel is fair
one between st Louis and Missouri, and
Wheeling and Western Virginia, Ms
souri, IS destined 10 be a Free .S'ate, and
however improbable the assertion, or I'M
palatablc the fact, it is morally certain

YOUR NEIGHBoRs.


As this is IA matter which concerns US
all, and in which We are at the present
time particularly interested, we will give
succinct statement of the position of
the Republican and Democratic parties
on the Bank question.
The Republican Convention, held at
Iowa City on the 10Th ultimo, passed
unanimously the following resolutions
" Resolved, That We congratulate the
people of Iowa upon the adoption of the
New Constitution for many reasons, but
most of all in view Of the fact that it en-
abIes them to provide for themselves a
sound currency, and places the annual
election in October, instead OF August,
thus consulting the convenience of an
agricultural population.
" ResoIy i, That it is deliberate con
yiction Of this Convention that the next
Legislature should provide a system of
Banking that will secure to the State a

times, within its limits, in gold and sill

Slavery and Marriage.

A committee of five clereymen of the
Charleston Is. Co. Baptist Association,
submitted laborcd report upon the mar
rage of slaves, at the last meeting Of the
Association. Their general conclusion
is, that the condition of the slaves being
peculiar, they cannot be held strictly to
the Christian rule in respect to marriage,
if taken from one plantation to another,
they may forsake one wife and take
a new one; in fact, they may take new
one at each removal This has long been
the Southern practice, but we believe it
has never before received the open sane.
ton of any branch of the Christian
Church. These clergymcn argue that
the slave must, and may rightfully, obey
the wish of his owner in this matter,
even to the extent Of promiscuous inter,
course-although they hesitate to say
that Observation-Disclosures that would be for
his masters interest, by increasing the
number of human cattle Certainly, this
institution is very peculiar" especi-
ally when the attempt is made to adapt
Christianity to It'll Jounak

Gov. Grimes refused to enter into the

Bank Of Florence.

There has been an effort made, on the
part Of some of the enemies of the above
named Institution, to create panic in
reference to it. They have started re-
ports, and forged the names of respon-
siblc persons to them, but as yet they
have effected nothing, unless it be to
disgrace themselves. So.
We feel confident that the Bank is
good, and will so continue, not because
the laws of Nebraska make it so, but be-
cause the owners of the Bank are able
and honest.
