WHY THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE IS
NOT SUPPRESSED-THE NEED OF
FREE COLONIZATION.

In all the debates and treatises, in all the active
measures and proceedings to which, for the last
fifty years, the slave trade has given rise, one weak
point Of policy will invariably be discovered. At
length, after forty years of incessan. efforts, meas
ures of repression have so far succeeded that nine
tenths of the contraband traffic may be considered
as stopped; but under what conditions Why,
the whole gist of the debate on Thursday evening
was, that our success was only just commensurate
with our coercion; that as long as we held the
screw tight We might reckon on security, but no
longer, that the slave trade, MS Lord Palmerston
phrased it, was mot distinguished in the hearts"
Of the planters; and that, in point of fact, we vera
just where we used to be, except in so far as vio-
leIce, or threats Of violence had produced-not
Abandonment, but suspension of wrong.
Who can wonder at this or who can expect
that such ideas will cease until a substitute has
been found for something which was indis-
pensable, and which has been taken away ? Here
is the weak point of our policy. Instead of en-.
leavoring to destroy the hankering after slaves by
The importation of more lawful labor. we merely
abolish one agency without thinking about another.
We intercepted a supply, but left an active and
powerful demand-a demand which we ourselves
in stimulating. Very possibly the EN-
~ployment of slaves, like all vicious practices,
might have produced some positive preference for
the evil; but this must soon have vanished with
a state o: things f~orbidinG equal opportunities for
IN a better form. As a matter of cal
%culatlon, indeed, slave labor is not cheap iaoOr, but,
as we left things, il was that or none; SO that the
impulse of evil habits conspired with necessity it.

been rendered useless in the plantations, and there
fore worthless in the market. If population was
to find its level, and labor its price, this could bt
done as well by importing freemen as bondsmen
We know for certain that there are quarters of the
Globe so overpopulated that the exp Ortation of la
borers would be beneficial to all parties, and as w
do not wish to put down suSar-giowiug, but mere

true resources were to have been found. We d.
not think the work would have been difficult. j

Jefferson Davis, in his late speech at Jackson.
Miss, mentioned, as an illustration of the vastness
of our national domain, the fact that duriBg the
four years of the late administration, more land
was eeeded by the general government for internal
Improvements and other legitimate purposes, than
a third Of France, and still We retain a public do
main equal to the entire area of Europe!

V. TOBACCO.

We desire to do what in us lies for the discour-
agemeut and suppression Of another vicious and a
widely prevailing habit--tho use of that narcotic
weed, tobacco a habit which is essentially vulgar
filthy, injurious to mind and body, an annoyance
too all lovers of purity, a heavy pecuniary tax,
and too generally allied with the wine-cup and 9TH
er demoralizing allurements a habit which is
more to be dreaded, because of the amazing tenac.
ity with which it clings to its victims-the appe-
lite for spirituous liquor being less clamorous and
exacting. The increasing use Of tobacco in the
land is an alarming evil, which calls for active

COLORED SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON,

DR.. Gale las resigned his position as an eaxmi-
ner in the Patent Office. 1t was alleged against
him that he was in some way connected with the
School in Washington for the education of color
ed female teachers, and for that he was about to
be dismissed from Office. Hearing of which he
jockeyed them and resigned. Think of that, as q
cause why a competent man should be declared
incapable Of holding an Office in the District of
Columbia.

III, CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
". TEMPERANCE.

In the progress and triumph of the b%enihcent
cause of temperance, we take a deep and lively in
terest-regarding total abstinence from the use of
all intoxicating drink as the only safeguard against
the evils and horrors of drunkenness, and placing
alcohol in the category of medical and mechani,
cal instrumantalities, to be used in sickness with
as much scrupulousness as belladonna, arsenic,
or any other poison and we earnestly urge upon
all heads of families in speeial,. the dnty which
they owe to their children to inculcate and exem-
plify this saving doctrine-an and also upon all en-
ployers and laborers of every grade, the obliga-
ton to refuse to give or take the maddening drink,
the habitual use of which is the fruitful source of
pauperism, RIGHTEOUSNESS, violence and crime, to
an unlimited extent.

and uncompromising efforts for its oxtirpation /;
aud let no one consider himself n consistent friend
OF progress who does not, by word aud deed,
bear a decided testimony against it.
VI. CO-EQUALITY OF WOMEN.
We rejoice in the growing recognition of woman
as the cOcqual Of man, in regard to all rights aud
privileges, whether religious or political-to rcnu.
mcration for labor, to tho possession and disposal
of property, to educational and scientific enlight-
mcnt, to n vice in tho arrangements Of society
aud the laws of the land, aud to whatever relates
to the safety, freedom and happiness of the human
race and we shall labor to break Town all those
barriers between the sexes, which have no foun-
dation in the nature OF things, which enable !be
physically strong to Cypress the weak, aud which
exclude women IRON a full and fair participation
in the rewards Of industry and skill, professional
life, aud public service, aud in all the advantages
arising from social, political, and religious equal
ity.
In the Pennsylvania Yearly Meeting of Pro-
gressive Friends, held at Longwood, from the 18th
to the 18th of Fifth month, 1857, inclusive, the
foregoing Testimonies in respect to Slavery, War,

the Cu-Cquallty of Woman, were considered, adopt

LerOnZo Dow.

The Hon. o. Ii. Smith, in his pleas
ant "reminiscences of early events in In
diana, relates the following anecdote of
the famous Itenerant preacher of the
West.
In the year 1919, was one of con-
gregation assembled in the woods back
of Rising Sun, anxiously awaiting the
arrival of Lorenzo Dow. Time passed
away, we had all become inpatient,
when in the distance we saw him ap-
preaching at rapid rate through the
trees on his pacing pony. lie rode up
to the log OH which | was sitting, threw
the reins over the neck of his pony and
stepped upon the log, took off his hat,
his hair parted IN the middle OF his
head and flowing on either side OF his
shoulders, and his beard resting on his
breast. In minute at the top OF his
voice he said: Behold. | come quickly
and my reward is with me- My subject
is repentance. We sing, "'while the
lamp holds out to burn, the vilest sinner
NAV return" That idea has done
a great deal of harm and ought to
be received with much allowance! There
are cases where it would DO easier for
cammel to go through the eye of
needle than for man to repent unto sal
vation. Let me illnstrate: Do you sup
the man is among you, who went out
last fall to kill his dear and bear for win
ter meat, and instead, killed his neigh
bor'S hog, salted them down and is now
living on the meat, can repent while it
is unpaid Cor? | tell you nay. Except
he restores just compensation. his at

Extraordinary surgicaICase.

i DIRK Trucking Eoultees Years Through a
Nan's Skull.
We met with the most interesting case
this morning which has occurred in our
experience for long time. We were
introduced to gentleman who gave US
practical exemplfication of the wonder
full. Fourteen or fifteen years ago, he
states that be was passing down Balti-
more street, late at night, during very
heavy snow storm, when he met near
Frederick street, three men and i woman.
He gave them the way, but being vlo-
lently jostled by one of them. he up
braided them somewhat sharply, when
they attacked him. Being powerful
man, standing about six feet in his shoes,
he soon id two of them hors du combat,
aud chased the other to the opposite side
of the street, where he ielled him to the
ground, and when, leaning over him. he
received blow in the left temple. which
staggered as well as bewildered him for
few minutes. Upon recovering himself
his assailant had fed, and feeling the
blood flowing pretty freely from the
wound, he proceeded to physician, who
soon found that he had been stabbed, the
instrument entering about half way be-
tween the eve and ear, and breaking off
short, leaving considerable length Of
blade in his head. All efforts to extract
it proved futile.
Strange to say, he felt very little pain
or inconvenience from his condition.
The wound soon healed, and he attended
to his regular avocations as if nothing
had happened. Three years after the
wound again opening, he consulted a
surgeon, who, feeling the ragged edge of
the blade, made several efforts to draw it
out, and after considerable labor drew
from the wound portion of the base OF
the broken dirk, which measured within
fraction of two inches in length This
part of it gave an idea Of the amount re-
naming, which was supposed to be
piece OF about the same size taken away.
For eleven years longer did It continue
In this condition, when about two weeks
since, after suffering great degree of
pain on the right sight of his nose, near
the corner of his eye. on the opposite side
to where he received the wound, and a
considerable swelling appearing, he went
to Professor Smith. who upon examening
the diseased part, found the point OF the
blade protruding 1t had actually ira
versed through the bones of the head,

Dom cstic Piety.

If there be curse more bitter than
any other to man. it is to be the offspring
of an irregular home; of home where
the voice of praise ana prayer ascend not
to God, and where the ties or affection
are not purified and elevated by the re-
fined influence of religious feeling: Of
n home To which if cares or sor-
rows Of life shall bring religion to the
heart in after days, the heart cannot turn
without bitterness OF feeling, without
anguish and yexation of spirit. If there
be curse to any country where the
truths ofreligion are known-the deep-
est and bittereSt curse which can be in
dlcted upon 1t, is multitude of homes
like the one L have mentioned. Snch
homes send forth sons unchecked in ev-
III thoughts, unhallOwed in their habits.
and untaught in the love of God: the
name of Jesus stamped upon their fore
head, but not written on their hearts
and they sent them forth to prey upon
the land, and to become its curse and del
struction. But on the other hand there
Is blessing to the religious home that
no tongue can describe. The home
where in early days, the heart is trained
10 love of God, and to take pleasure in
illS services and worship, interwoven
with the existence OF many holy atfec-
tons that die not with the circumstances
that gave them birth-which last long
though they may for season be neglec-
ted or icrgottOn, which shall exercise at
least some check on the evil of the hu-
man heart, and often, may, commonly,
recall il to hear again the word of God.
and turn TO paths Of holiness and peace.
How great and unspeakable is the happi-
ness Of land where homes like these
are common.-L Rev. j. IL. Rose.
