do so no morel Let no one henceforth d~isparage
the power and influence of the Abolitionists. II
they can .extort such a concession from such men.
what may they not hope to accomplish. Butt
must no, be supposed thai even this concession 10
any evidence of the conversion Of these pious
men to the principles Of anti-slavery. They aro
not now going to publish tracts against the sin OF
slavery. Not they. That is without the proper
sphere Of the society. They are only shamed out
of The contemplate and piratical practice Of mu-
tilating the standard literature Of the country and
then publishing their Sarbled extracts ms tho pro-
ductions of the authors they thus wretchedly mig
represent. This is the full measure of improve.
ment they promise for the future. Hence forth
they will pass by in silence all such writer's as
have the fanaticism to say that slavery is on i'm.
morality.
For the sake of history we put upon record the
resol of tho society on the subject Of sla-
very.
Resolved. I. That the American Tract society.
was established for a defi Mite purpose, namely
ITO diffuse a knowledge Of our Lord Jesus Christ
ms the Redeemer Of sinners. and to promote the
interests Of vital goodness and sound morality, by
the circulation of religious tracts calculated to re.
cieve the appreciation Of all evangelical Chris
tians."
Z. lnnt MS society cannot therefore Win bro-
priety allow itself to'be made n special organ Of
any one system of religious or moral reform, such
as temperance, peace, anti popery, anti-slavery,
etc while within Its proper sphere, it's influence
should sustain the cause of truth and righteous
ness in all their departments.
3. That in endeavoring to accom- plish its high
and holy mission, the society should deal even
handedly, and bear impartial testimony against all
forms of fundamental doctrinal error and practical
immortality, prevailing in any and every part Of
our country.
4. That in the judgment of your committee,
the political aspects OF slavery lie entirely without
the proper spheYe of this Society, and cannot be
discussed in its publications but that those moral
duties which grow out of the existence Of slavery.
as well as those moral evils and vices viii III il il
known to promote. and which are condemned in
Scripture, and so much deplored by evangelical
Christians, undoubtedly do fall within the provin-
&c OF this Society, and can and ought to be dis
cussed in a fraternal and Christian spirit.
s. That whatever considerations in the past may
have seemed to recommend to the Publishing
the course pursued in its revision OF
certain works, yet, in the future publication OF
books and tracts, no alteration or omission of the
sentiments of any author should be made but
works not adapted to the design of tho Society in
their original form. or by n regular impartial
abridgment, should be wholly omitted.
This report was unanimously adopted, without
discussion.

An Eloquent Speech.

Carl Schurz, a German Republican, who
proved his faith by his works during the
struggle of 1883 ior liberty in Europe,
was the Republican candidate for Lieut..
Governor of Wisconsin. He recently made
speech at Madison, of which the following
is tn, conclusion:
And row one last word to you, fellow
soldiers in the cause of freedom:
do not know whether have been able
to instill into your hearts that deep anxiety
for liberty which fills mine. You are the
spoiled children of fortune. The sun of
liberty smiled upon you when you opent
your eyes to the light of day. You have
grown up nursed by the blessings of self
government; neither you nor hardly your
fathers have seen the day when it was other
wise. You know the curses of despotIc
rule but from hearsay, and your Imagination
is hardly able to realize the sufferings of
the down-trodden man. But /, sir, have
seen despotism and felt its scourge. have
seen the great messes of noble natio,s bru-
talized by the bl'ghting sway of absolute
government. have seen fond hopes dying,
and noble aspirations turned into des pair
| have seen blood split for liberty, split pro-
fusey, but split in vain. / have heard The
moaning sgonies of crushed nations. And
this moment dear, familiar faces rise before
nv eyes--faces ON which once the sublime
glow of genius and enthusiasm shone bright

The following. which we clip from the
Wheeling Times, is altogether character
istic of Virgin iaiyraany, and for the Times
TO endorse it only shows his crngibg servi-
tude:

We would invite tie attention OF the de-
tenders Of higher lawism" in Virginia to
the above. The ''uttering and maintaining
that owners have no rights OF properly in
their slaves" is not much more criminal
than to punish State officers for aiding in
the arrest snd rendi, ion of fugitive slaves.
Incendisry assertions and inccndiary publ
cations are both in violation Of the laws OF
Virginia.

"Gov Walker and Fraudulent vot
ing in Kansas"
J. H. BAKER, Secretary of State.

Under the above caption the Democraft
Era produces leader trsly remarkable, not
only for its originality, ''ut for its wide
wanderings from truth. 1t is amusing tc
see the net he is weaving to catch Ydnlee.
He Iauds Gov. WALKER just as man ought
to do, but for an Eaii.or IN the Slave party
il is dangerous. He boots at III, idea o
BUCHANAN removing WALKER, says The
latter has done right, $50 do we) has no idei
that he will be censured. He does not seen
TO, know that Mr.. BUCHANAN has a.read,
eensured him, that the organ of his party a
Washington has said he committed an error
that he is almost universally condemned
throughout the South. Neither does he
know that at MilledgevilIe Democratic
meeting largely attended aid presided ovel
by Ex-Gov. JOHNSON. and addressed by Hon
A. H. STEPHENS, member of Congress, De
mandea the removal-of WALKER. Verify
we will pity the Era, if WALKER never re
turns to Kansas as Governor. and this il
more than likely to be the fact. Frient
Era then goes on to insinuate-not boldly
charge, but sneakingly. to see how it woul'
tske-that it IVES all trick of the Free
State party to catch WALKER. This is 81
palpably, ridiculously false that it can only
be laughed at. The Ere don't believe any
such thing. He was only tired of his saddle
II would not be very likely that Free Stat'
men would use fraud to defeat themsel Ives
all for 1he purpose of catching a tartar.-
Such arguments Will not work. u VII

Hayelock's Little Army.

The army commanded BY General Hav e.
lcck in India, which has inflicted fouE dis
astrous defeats upon Nena Sahib, and made
an incredible march of 1870 miles in the
blazing valley Of the Ganges, in one week,
number but few more men than make full
regiment. Thirteen hundred men of Ed
ropean origin, and 500 iSrkhs composed the
whole force with which Havelock marched
from Allabahad. The army of Nena Sahib
was exactly zen times as numerous as that
Of Havelock. 1t was fully supplied with
artillery, of which Havelock was in want;
British tactics and armed out of the arsenals
In fact the Sepoys marched against the
English with English Grums and trurnpets
playing "Cheer, boys, cheer" On the 18th
of July, when the fervid heats of the valley
of the Ganges are at their height, Have
lock overlook the enemy, strongly posted,
with - guns. In three hours he drove The
enemy headlong out of field, and captured
all their artillery. On the 18th Nena Sahib's
force suffered another defeat. in which tney
lost al! their artillery; Haveock now press
ing upon Nena Sahib's flying columns W it'll
his own nlne-pounder guns. On the 10Th
Havelock cont nued mis- march and came up
on the enemy posted before Cawnpore
They hEd supplied their lost artil cry from
that place and now had two formidable bat
ieries in position. Havelock detached
small part OF his little army to turn the
enemy's position. Alter toilsome march
through the heat of the day, the column
leaving the high road leading from Calcutta
10 Delhi at l:3o P. NJ, they accomplished
their purpose, and, after an obstinate and
bloody battle they again prevailed. Having
made themselves masters OF Cawnpore they
set forward, and on the 10TH reached Bittoor
the stronghold Of Nena Sahib. He had
found temporary safety in timely fight; and
the British and Sikhs burnt his place to the
ground. Havclock continued his march up
on Lucknow, and ON the Goth he had won
another battle and took Is guns. The
cholera now broke out among his handful
ot men, and he was forced 10 halt within
80 miles ii Lucknow. More recent dis
patches represented him as having been
compelled to retreat upon Cawnpore, bu, at
the latest, his little army was nearly con-
valescent, it had been reinforced and was
upon the point of another forward move
ment.--Ohio Statesman.
