SLAVE HUNTING.

Another Of those outrageous and tyranical acts
which are peculiar to the slavery fostering govern
ment Of thc United States, was perpetrated IN this
town on the night of Wednesday last. file OF
soldiers ut the dead of night, wore marched up to
the residence Of Mir. John Rchey, Immediately on
the outskirts Of the town, headed by that puslan-
imous tool Of Bogus Law and Slave catchers, Dep
uty Marshal Butcher, who, it will be remembered
made US a similar visit about three weeks ago.
Tho Object Of this visit, before, was to capture
some alleged fugitive slaves, whom the Deputy
and one Mills their pretended owner believed to
be secfeted here.

wards II; and we would use up tho last vestigo Of
the power we hqve,an then cast about us for more.
In time, enough would come to accomplish the
whole work. When we are asked what the Re.

fully, and make the personal security of every
white citizen of one State perfect in dH the others
to remove all Slavery from the Territories, and
from under our flag on the seas, to break up the

District of Columbia, etc. Then we shall make
the absolute hostility TO Slavery the sine qua non
for all appointments and elections to Office. 1t shall
be understood, if We elect Republican President,
that he shall never appoint man to office who IS
not distinctly in favor of Freedom, and believes in
the practical application of the Declaration Of In
dependence, and the Preamble to the Constition Of
the United States
10 short, it is time that the Republican party is
clearly known to be opposed to Slavery in all Its
forms, in every part and portion Of the Union
that 1t is the PARTY OF FREEDOM, whose aim an end
is to. sustain and extend Freedom; whose members

the press, the balot.box and legislation, to extr-
inmate Slavery from the Nation. We will allow 1t
no quarter, wherever we can attack it; and in our
war upon it, we will know no bounds and no re.
straints but those nterposed by Constitutions and
statutes beyond our control. we VIII pursue
Slavery wherever it appears in the National Terri
tory or the Free States, and drive it within the bor-
ders of the Slave States, and hem it in there. We
will trammel it, confne it. and treat it as we would
pestilcnce; and when we have confined it to the
Slave Staes we will call across the border to our
brethren there, and beg them to do what we can
not-abolish by their own act, the entire insttu-
ton. We will assist 10y all the means we can ex-
tend to them, the friends of Freedom in the Slave
States, and make it an object for the citizens Of
these States to adopt emancipation policy. We
will use all the power now have, against the in
sttution and we will cultivate public opinion for
It's final, peaceful and legal adjustment. We will
violate no constitutional law We will not divide
the Union assent to its division, but will pre-
serve it and it for the benefit of every C tzen
With such programme. we could tell the world
that we were party organized for purpose, with
an intention to perform it and when understood
we should command the respect and support Of men
of principle everywhere. We should have just
claims upon the true friends Of freedom, and could
justly call ourselves Republicans and Freemen.
Henceforth let Republicans be true to themselves
and their cause, and make more compromises
with Slavery. We cannot afford to wink at this
great wrong, for our success depends on maintain
ing the right.

Under the head of "Religious In
telligence," the Boston Journal mott
ces some missionary labors in region
of which but little has hitherto been
known. 1t says:
conc of the most interesting mis-
sions undertaken by the American
church is that to the Afghans, which
has been commenced during the past
year by the Presbyterian Board. This
has long been looked upon as remar-
kable nation, on account of their in
dependent, hospitable and martial spi-
rlt, and their possession of country,
lying between India and Persia, filed
with the grandest mountains in the
world, with the original fruits and
grains that have spread over the earth
following the expansion of the human
racc-and with ancient ruins, tablets,
coins, and legends Of great value to the
religious or scientific archeologist.
But the chief attraction has lain in
the suggestion by Sir William Jones,
Vansittart, and others, that they might
be a portion of the Ten Tribes of Is
rael. Though now Mohammedons-
they claim descent from King Saul,
through son named Berkis, who had
q son named Afghan. And those
scholars have furnished translations
from their legends describing the cap
ture of the ark of the covenant by the
Phillistines, the amounting of Saul by
Samuel, the battle of David and Coli
ah, and other events of Scripture his
tory, which they claim as their own.-
The seat of this new mission is appoin-
ted for the present at Rawal Pedee, q
town of $4,000 inhabitants, between
the Indus and Jhclm rivers, one hund-
red and sixty miles northwest of La
Dor. This is not within the borders of
Afghanistan, where q residence is for
bldden by the present disturbed state
of the country"

TO THE CAVILER.

There are many persons disposed to
cavil at Christianity, because they find
so many differences in belief and doc
triue among the various sects in the
world-there are so many schisms of
every kind, and clashings of opinion.
The following extract from Web.
stcr's celebrated speech in the Girard
Case, which, by the way, deserves to
be ranked among the ablest defences
of Christianity Of modern times, is e.
nough to put to silence all such cayils.
He says:
"The truth is, that those who rea1ly
vaIue Christianity, and believe in its
Importance, not only to the spiritual
welfare of man, but to the safety and
prosperity of human society, rejoice
that in its revelations and its teachings
there is so much which mounts above
controversy, and stands on universal
acknowledgment. While many things
about it are disputed or are dark, they
still plainly see its foundation and its
main pillars, and they behold in il
sacred structure rising up to the heav-
ems. They wish its general principles
and all its great truths to be spread
over the whole earth. But those who
do not value Christianity, nor believe
in its Importance to society or individ-
uals, cavil about sccts and schisms, and
bring monotonous charges upon the
shallow, and so often refuted objections
founded on alleged variety of discord.
ant creeds and dashing doctrines. A
Bolingbrokc and Gibbon, Voltairo
and Rousseau, . Paine and Volney,
have aimed their shafts, but the noble
edifce still remains, and is raising its
head higher and higher, in defiance Of
its encmies,"

A CURIoUsCI CIRCUMSTANCE "A Pet
rtfed Human Body.-Some seven
years since, says the Elmira Advcr-
tiser, Wilmington Sayre, gentleman
extensively engaged in the lumber bu-
siness in that place, and highly respect
ed by large circle of acquaintances,
went on visit to couple of sons, near
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, but shortly af.
ter arriving there, he was taken i'll,
died, and was buried in one of the
graveyards of that city. A few weeks
since, on account of road being about
to be opened through the ground where
his remains were deposited, it was de-
termined to disintcr them for burial
elsewhere. Onremoving the earth from
the coffin, (Which was considerably de-
caycd,) it was found that Mr.. Sayre's
body was in as good state Of preser.
vatlon as when inferred. 1t was taken
from the grave and examined by a large
number of people. The general opin-
ion was that the petrifaction had been
occasioned by some action of the soil;
but when the remains of others, in ad-
joining graves were taken up, they
were found to be almost entirely decom-
posed. Every feature of Mr.. Sayer's
face was perfectly preserved, and the
whole body was as hard as the hardest
stone. This is remarkable case, and
will give rise to some speculation among
the scientific and curious.

must, we think, forever put to silence
the vain jangler whose object is merely
to caricature the practice.
We shall here answer a proleptic OBJ
lection which may be urged by way of
interrogatory. Why not initiate prim-
tive simplicity in the use of musical
Instruments? The reason is obvious;
the tremendous, awe-inspiring effects
of the sublime notes of the rams horn
are we'll known to every Sabbath school
scholar; these notes razed to the foun-
dation the impregnablc Notifications of
Jericho; and might not their results be
hideously fearful if sounded within the
delicately constructed walls of our frail
domicils?

ing the 'mazy dance;' it stands on G.

length Gf LVe.--From Professor
fuckers analysis Of the American con-
sus from 1870 to 1910, it appears that
the chances of living 100 years are 10
times as great among the slaves, and 40
times as great among the free negroes,
as among the white population Of tho
country. The English census in com.
mon with that Of many other civilized
communities, shows considerable lar.
ger proportion of females than of males
attaining 100 years
