that slavery is cursing them, socially

SHIRKING,

The Anti-Slavery Buge. in copying and com
mentng upon our article in late issue entitled
"The Delusion," remarks that our doctrine that
the people of the government, since they constitute
the government, are each and every, responsible
for national sins, is very different doctrine from
that everywhere prevalent. The common idea is,
that no one is responsible for national crimes.
They are but "organc sins, ITO be charged to the
nation in the mass. Men join to perpetrate in
iquity through their national organizations that
they would scorn to countenance individuals
What we want in order to abolish slavery, is, a
sense of individual responsibility in the matter y
Our respected and penetrating cotemporary here
aludes to sad truth-a fact deplorably true
Our race is peculiarly prone to shirk. Everybody
tries to shirk every responsibility upon everybody
else. Sins and outrages and scoundrelisms arr
perpetrated, but nobody is TO blame for them
This plan Of shirking is of ancient origin. 1t wal
tried soon after Eden was planted. Adam pro
posed to shrk off the responsibility OF munching
the forbidden fruit upon Eve tor, said no, "tht
woman gave me, and | did eat" The custom
thus instituted, has never fallen into disuse.-
What is true of the individual is not supposed tC
hold true of parties or Of nations. When you Kill
a man individually you are accounted murderer
but If YOU perform the work OF soldier of the
government, you supposed to stand justified
But the Yankee poet, Bgelow, maintains that
"Ef you should take sword and dror it,
And should stick feller through,
Guy'ment aint goin to answer for it,
God will send the bill to you"
Government, and particularly Republican form
of government is not by any means a machine
that runs alone. The people are the government
of which ecery citizen forms part. Hence every
man is responsible for what the government does
The government always behaves itself becomingl,
when the people do, for it has never been know

LIBERATED SLAVES FOR LIBERIA-The Whining
ton, N. G., Herald of May 81, says that one hurd-
red and five slaves, emencipated under the last
will and testament of Gen. j. j. Mckay, Repre-
sentative in Congress from the Wilmington Dis
trict for long period have reached that city on
their way to Norfolk and Liberia. Only one re-
fuses to go; she proposes to remain where she is
and as she is. The whole according to Southern
computation, are of the value of from sixty to sew
enty-four thousand dollars. Before the will was
carried out an interesting question was submitted
to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. The
will was made twenty five years ago, and the ad-
ministrators asked for decision of the Court,
whether the children of those then emancipated.
comprising, in fact, the greater number, were en-
titled to the benefits and privileges awarded to the
mother. The Court decided that those born since
the execution of the will, we'll those born be-
fore, were entitled to be emancipated, and to the
amount of money allotted from the estate to carry
her or him to Liberia The emancipated slaves
will be delivered over to the Colonization Society.

PICTUaEs OF SLAVERY.
BY REV, JOHN DIXON LONG, MINISTER OF TIL
METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.


We last week noticed Mr.. Longs book entitled
"Pictures Of Slavery" We now transfer some
of these pictures to our columns. 1t will be rec
objected that Mr.. Long is native of Maryland,
and has been for many year, there a minister o!
the Methodist Church. He gives us therefore no
fairy sketches. but pictures of actual life from
slaveholding society:
FREE COLORED PEOPLE OF THE SOUTH.
The free colored people of the South constitute
distinct class of coored persons in that section OF
the Union. They labor under many civil and re-
lgious disabilites,an are the most slandered and
persecuted class Of men in the United States. The
early Methodists in England and America were
not more &c. They are not permitted to educate
their children, unless they reside in the Cities not
withstanding they pay taxes They have to take
the raking fires from three batteries The slave
envies them. The poor white man is jealous Of
them lest they encroach upon his assumed rights
and privileges; and the large Shareholder hates
them as their very presence puts notions CT Tree
dom III the minds of his slaves. They are expected
to please everybody, which is very difficult mat
ter. They are the Scapegoats OF Southern society
If any crime ia committed, and the perpetrator j:
not discovered, it is laid to the free negro. 1t he
commits a crime, and it is proved on him, he is
sure to get the full penalty of law. If he steal;
from the white man, he goes to the penitentiary
which is right. If the white man steals from him
he goes clear which is wrong. III ne Is lazy, DE
is a nuisance, if Industrious and lays up money
he is accused of dealing with slaves if he con
ducts himself properly, he is proud and wants
taking down little His wife and daughter may
be insuted by rowdes, and he must hold his
tongue. Yet for intelligence, industry, economy
and morality, he is far superior to the third clas
of slaves. His wife and children are his; hi
body is his own. He can remove to free Stat
or 90 to Africa. Partial liberty is better thar
pampered slavery. Considering his antecedent
and circums tances, he has met the expectations o
all reasonable men. Many Of them are lazy, bu
it must be remembered that laziness is contagiou
disease in the South My advice to all younl
enterprising free colored peoplo of the Southern
States is, to leave for the free States, Canada,
Liberia.

The Daily Free Democrat, milwaukee, J. contains
paragraph SO pertinent in its bearing, that we,
transfer it to columns.
'Whateycr may be the language Of Taney's de-

tune has no reference to color or inJeriory, but ia

possessor to freedom. And if it were infeyiorify.
then wherever superiority is plainly manifest the
person should be free. But is such the case p
Pick up any Southern paper you please and yos
will find advertised as runaway slaves persons
who cannot be distinguished from the Caucas-
slams but must be identified by other means
and the cases on record are innumerable where
such are held as slaves. And if to-day an indi-
vidual were before Judge fancy, on the ques-
ton of being remanded to slavery, were his
complexion as white as the SHOWS Of the Cauca-
sus, 1T would avail him nothing against afi--
davit, that he owed his services on rice or cot

about cotor as the basis for slavery, when the.
very mon who make the plea, ignore it in ther
practice every hour of their lives"

REMINIscENcE.-In exchanging courtesies
with the (Richmond, Ya.) Religious Herald, we
(American BAPTIST are reminded of curious doc
ument which we clipped from the advertising col
umns of that journal several weeks since. As in
our view, it illustrates the binding influence OF
slavery upon those who have been long familiar
with it. and especially those who have pecuni-
mary interest in it, we will not deny ourselves o
presenting it to our readers:

Hutton Us. Pork.

The Portland Transcr'pt says that ply
sicians recommend mutton as the most
wholesome meat-the easiest digested, and
the best suited to invalids, while pork, as
everybody knows, is the most uuwholesome
flesh eaten. In England, mutton is IA
vorite dish, and We apprehend it is to this,
rather than roast beef, that the E0glish-
men owes his robust health aud rosy COM
plexion Our people eat too much pork,
nd too little mutton. And yet, as co
Temporary well remarks, " mutton can be
produced, pound for pound, at less than
half the price Of poyk yields more uour,
i.hment, when eaten, and keeping sheep
does not exhaust a firm to the extent fee
ding hogs does Sheep can be kept du-
ring the winter on hay and turnips, or
mangel wurfze!, or sugar beet, while hogs
will not do without at least some corn"
And the Wool Of the sheep is an annual
crop far more useful aud profitable than
the one only crop of Bristles from the
hog. We would like to see in the papers
fewer accounts Of big pigs and more about
fat sheep.
