TriIvne, be 10 devctng his capital end bis inventive

Of success.
1t seems that the South Church, Of the Presby-
terian Order, of that Municipa! Infant Phenome'
non. suffers under pastor Of the name Of Henry,
who systematically holds that the edge Of the Cos
pei sword stould be applied in al its keenness to
the sins of the times, ard American Slavery among
the number. as we'll ~ TO those Of the ancient
Jews This heresy has excited corresponding
zeal on the pah of tie true believers OF that Zion
Mr.. Mccormick among the number. The machine
which this Ingenious inventor proposes to apply to
the cutting I'D Of these heterodox abominstons
BY the root, is the Rev. DR.. Rice Of St. Louis, who
is warranted to be sharp and eaectual instru-
ment for the abscission and deracinaton Of all such
i'll weeds. That strong measures are demanded
is proved by tie fact, as ne understand IT IS al
frmed to be one, that fugitive slave could not be
recovered in Chicago, an innocent Traveller having
narrowly escaped hard usage who had merely ex-
posed himself to the suspicion of such design.
Accordip gly the state of the case seeming to call
for strong missionary effort, the special saints Of
Chicago-the remnant that is left who hold fast to
the faith in negro catching that has been delivered
to them by so many Of their spiritual fathers-have
united in an effort to induce DR.. Rice to cast in his
lot among them and to wrestle nightly with the
man Of Sin.
Prominent amorg the confes,ors who are ready
to Uetd in this righteous cause is Mr. Mccormick,
who bas pledged himself to pay 81 600 annually
toward the price at which DR. Rice holds himself
in tie missionary market. He is " to straighten
out the Abolitionists' of Chicago. i. seems, aud
ther to purify the Theological Seminary, which has
developed some faint of tie Abolition heresy, aud
restore peace to Zion in all her bOrders. II be
succeed in doing this, he will certainly earn his
moLey, as we'll as his crown. And there can be
no question as to the sincerity Of Mr.. Mccormick
in the premises. Being a man Of common sense
which we take it for granted he is, though all
inventors may not come within that category
he can hardly fail to know that Slavery is the very
worst enemy he and his class Of discoveries have to
contend with. His Reaping Machine for instance,
is shut out Of more than one half the Union, and
the half where it would work TO the best advantage,
by the stumbling block of Slavery Where men
are turned into machines, machinery cannot be
made to supersede them. And yet no mainline
works so i'll as man with the main. spring taken
out of him in the process of making him slave.
The rudest implements and the simplest manipua-
tions of agriculture are all that can be trusted
to hands whose interest it is to remain as
unskillful as they can. The field Of the in
yentor's tiiuwphs, and especially of the inventor
of agricultural labor saving machines, is thus mar
rowed, and his 'pOls of victory curtailed. So Mr..
McCormick's devotion to the religious interests of
Slavery really amounts to self.deyotion, and the
contribution he makes to the great cause Of Pro-
Slavery piety-reckoned according to what he might
receive were Slavery out of the way-very much
exceeds the liberal proportion he assumes of the
new Apostles salary. We trust that our Chicago
friends " i'll keep US advised OF the success OF this
trusty aborer in that stony corner Of the Vineyard
