WORK FOR THE NEW SCHOOL GENERAL
ASSEMBLY

Several Of the SynOds Of the New School Cen
eral Assembly, at their last fall meetings passed
resolutions called on the General Assembly to in.
struct the Presbytery of South Lexington, Missis-
sippi, to commence process of discipline against
Rev. ID. W. Holley, who avoweG himself on the
floor of the General Assembly "a stakeholder from
principle" Mr.. IIolley died recently, but his
mantle has fallen upon others. The Rev. DR.. New.
ton, of jackson, Mississippi, writing to the Chris
tan Observer" says:
81 deem it due to the memory of his good name
his unquostioned piety and eminent services to the
church in the salvation of souls, both of the bond
and the free, well for the respect and atfec-
tOn which we bear toward his bereaved family,
that some of us should favorably avouch the char
acter and conduct Uf our deceased brother, and
say to the Synod or General Assembly; If he
hath wronged thee, or oweth thee ought, put that
ON mine account
Accordingly, hereby declare that there are to-
day one, two, three--a half dozen, (aud many
more) minister's, members of the several Presby-
teries constituting the Synod OF Mississippi who
arc Shareholders, as Mr.. llolley was and who will
say, Mr.. Holley said, we are Shareholders from
principle That is, as Mr.. Holey evidently meant
We are shareholders conscentousy; we do not
condemn ourselves for the deed; we do not deem
slaveholding a sin.
"And hereby notify the Synod of Gennesee and
all whom it may concern, that whenever it is desi-
ministers, with their autograph signatures occupy
ing precisely the same ground as that professed
by Mr.. Holey."
Thus is the gauntlet openly anG boldly thrown
down to the next General Assembly. If the pro
Iessed anti-slavery men of that body are really in
earnest in this matter, they cannot hesitate to take
it up. They constitute the large majority of the
Assembly. They are openly defed by the slave
holders. Will they have the moral courage to
meet the issue? If they do tho division of THEN
church is inevitable The Shareholders will not
submit for moment to the process of discipline
much less will they submit to decision which
shall pronounce them guilty of sin. and call on
them to repent and reform. They deny that they
are living in sin, in holding slaves from principle
They hold that it is perfectly innocent to buy, sell
,wn and work their fellow men for gain, The
arge majority of the New School Presbyterian
Church profess to believe this kind OF slavehold,
ng a henious sin and scandal. Their General
Assembly has repeatedly declared it to be such.
they must then either meet the issue like men, !
md exercise discipline the guilty, or they must
ngloriously abandon all their Ontslavery pro
essions, and come under the control of mere
landfui Of shareholders, Which will they do p

slavery has constituted one OF the strongest sup
ports Of that inhuman system. Political parties
with all their base subscrviency to the slave power
have been unable to render any such service, a,

OF political party is as inferior to that Of a
church, as time is to eternity Important rs it is
to watch the movements of political parties, it is
still of Importance to observe well the movements

The whole system would fall to pieces under the

WORK, on the part Of the church, must be hailed
by the friends of freedom with Joy and gratitude
1t is in vain to think of banishing the works Of
the devil from the world, while We admit those

against savehodng, and yet embrace Chris

IOWA-PROGRESs-AN EXAMPLE.

Reference has been made in our paper to the fact
of the repeal by the Iowa Legislature Of the clause
of her statute book prohibiting negroes, mulatoes
and Indians from testfying against white men in
courts of ustce. Those who know the political
record of that state up to 1885, will be startled il
not edited, by an event 80 significant. Prior to
that date, no free state"-not even California
was more thoroughly prO-savory than Iowa. In
none did the few sterling anti-savery men who
were before that time to be found within her bor-
ders meet with more intolerance and prescription,
scarcely falling short in fact, of mob Violence
Growing up as Territory, and admitted as a
state under the auspices Of Calhoun Democracy"
it seemed almost as thoroughly given over to the
domination of the slave power as South Carolina
itself. Yet, owing chiefly to the influx Of better
class of emigrants, behold what mighty political
and moral revolution has taken place in Iowa in
two short years Trumphing in 1854. it has
gone with that steady advance march which guar
antics the permanent ascendency of the right.

The extent Of Missouri is about 67 900 square
m lies and that Of Ohio 10000 square miles and
yet Missouri, with so much larger extent of ter
lrtory, has less than half the population Of Ohio.
The only answer that can be given to the question:
why this difference? is the exs tence of sla very in
Missouri. The increase of the white population
being IS per cent, in six years, and the increase of
slaves being only two per cent shows the natural
adapteincss of the State to free white popuation
and its poor adaptation to slavery. We have seen
it stated that land ia Missouri within 80 miles of
Keokuk, Iowa, is selling at three dollars, whilo
similar land in Iowa, at the same distance from
keokuk, is selling at $40 per acre-a difference of
$ZI per acre. Now estimating the sllves in Mis-
souri, at $500 per head, their whole value would DO
&l5 GOO COO the whole number Of acres of land
in the State is about six millions. 4 rise Of only
eight dollars would more than equal the wholo'
value Of the slaves, and we believe the abolition of
slavery would make more than that difference in
the value Of land. Were they 20 give away their

NEGROES.

If one-half the crueltes enacted during the
recent insurrection panic at the South, could be-
disclosed, what an appalling record would thew
make. But not tthe of them will ever be known
beyond the circles in which they occurred. The
South Is not communicative in such matters.--
During the troubles at Dover, Tenn, a suspected
white man was put to death in a most cowardly
and cruel manner, and yet the fact has but iusr

arranged before the negro arrived. A green oinos

that pile Of fat pine wood was arranged in di-

was bound head and feet to the pole, and before
fire was placed to the pole, the wretch
made the following confession: THAT he had

some other confessions, duplicating white man
and another negro in the affair. Our informant

The following editorial from the Richmond (Va.)
Enquirer of January 9Th, is quite suggestive
Recolect-a few months ago, solid preparation of
Virginia for state Of war was vaunted loudyly by
that paper and by Gov Wise, in manifestoes
without number. Virginia was match for IL

provisioned, ready ot n moments warning to cap
ture the United States forts and arsenals, march
upon Washington, and take possession of the
President, Cabinet, Archives, and Congress to

Again-what paper has so eloquently set forth
the manifest blessings of Slavery? o. the failure
Of free Society! o. the triumph Of slave Society
How docle, how subordinate how affectOnate the
slave; how welded to the master how productive;
how fat, and cosy, and jolly; how free from
responsibility and care how well trained to ap-
preciate his high privileges how beautifully har-
imonized the relations of Labor and Capital AT
east the world is beginning to open its eyes to the
sublime truth, the revelation first made to the
South, that Slavery is the only refuge on earth
from the curses of free society and hireng labor
and the time is coming when the poor, starved,
degraded white laborer convinced by our argu-
msnts will knock at the door Of that blissful heav
