EVERY ONE A WORK TO DO.

-
friend writing us on business thus indicates
the duty Of Abolitionists at this important hour
Of our struggle.
"Thc battle goes forward, and the combat thick
ems. Now is the time for overy true man to stand
firm in his place, lift up his voice, testify against
cowardicc, mcHnnoss, trickery, and all other ALI,
ances and devices of slavery, and strike a true
blow for freedom and justice wherever its orpo'
ncnts are seen. They who will bravely and Who'll
ly do this will soon SEQ great and wondrous things
wrought by the Almighty's arm. The pro'slavcry
triumph in the American Tract Society is the
sure presage Of their defeat. No profcssedly
christian society can afford, at this day to get the
victory in such n contest. The whole society, ma
iority and minority, with rare exceptions show
themselves corrupt and false and unfit 20 dissent
nate u saving gospel among men. They will be
removed out of the way, and that speedily, and
their places will be taken by those who will both
dare and rejoice to proclaim the loving and saving
truth in its fullncss. The open and unblusling
efforts Of men, and journals, north and south,
and Of Democratic politicians at Washington and
elsewhere, to protect and aid the African Slave
Trade, now re'opencd on the part of this country
with such daring and on so large n scale, will
speedily bring that matter to an issue, and our
people must individually, and by States, very soon
decide whether thoy will become, as Daniel Web
ster in 1920 declared the African Slave traders Of
that day to be, "%piratcs and felons." The whole
question is getting s~impliied very fast. Let every
man in the country say whether he will, or will
not, be an alder and abetter of the African Slave
Trade, n cohsenter to its robberies and piracies,
and let every woman declare whether she will or
will not bring up her children to be silent or in
different in respect to this enormous crime against
men guilty Of no wrong. Let every one take his
stand now. Delay is ~culpable, shameful, and
may he fatal. There is no possible excuse for
blindness now,-nono for delay. Every true and
honest soul should give its u,termost strength now
to the righteous cause and with n 'strong pull,
a long pull and a pull altogether" the monster
slavery shall be drawn forth from his element OF
c%oncealment, deception, and fraud, and left to per
ish, where he must needs perish speedily, in the
sunlight of truth. In such hope and faith
am, ever truly yours.

TnE FLORAL AND HORTICULTURAL EyHIntrioN.
The First Floral ard horticultural Exhibition oil
the Salem Society, which came of on Saturday
last, was II success. The exhibition Of vegetables
was good for the season better than was nntici'
patcd' Tho exhibition Of Straw berries and
Goosoborries was very fine, both in quality AID va
ricties, while the floral department aboundcd in all
the beautiful flowers of the season. The cut flowers
were arranged with much taste and skill. Many
of the citizens of the town who had not fruits or
plants to contribute, showed their interest on the
occasion by their personal efforts in arranging and
.ndorning tho Hall, as well as by their attendance.
On the whole it was n very pleasant affair more
than meeting the expectations of its most sanguinc
friends.
Messrs. Negley and Boni of Pittsburgh, added
much to tho interest by their exhibition Of Pot
Plants and vegetables, To the former especially,
the association are much indebted for valuable
suggestions and personal aid on the occasion, while
his thorou a acquaintance with the subjects of
Horticulture horticulture rendered his visit
not only agreeable but useful, to individuals.

SOUTHERN Demonstrating of the southern
ire,eaters talk as though they had a purpose real,
ly to overthrow the union and were directly plot
ting for that end. These are however not repre-
sentatives of the masses Of the southern people
who are loyal to the union because it is loyal to
slavery and its main su pport. In the following
letter from Mr.. Yanccy OF Alabama, the purpose
of disunion is distinctly avowcd as it kas been on
other occasions and in such a manner as to seem
to indicate that he means what he says.
MONTGOMERY, 18th June. 1858.
DEAR SlR:--Your kind favor of the 18th is re.

The remedy Of the South is not in such n pro.
1t is in a diligcnt organization of her true
men, Tor prompt resistance 10 the next aggression.
1t must come, in the nature of things. No Ma.

do it. But if we could do ms our fathers did, orr

Tue CoIoRED PEOPLE AND TIE ELECTIVE FRAN
tnIsE IN OuIo.-At Chilicotho, in this state William
Cunningham IL man Of miScd blood brought suit
for damages for being refused the privilege of vot'
ing in October and November 1856. Tho case has
recently had a hearing. Evidence was adduced
by the defence to prove that tho plaintiff was at
least halt negro, while on his part it was contend
cd that he was at most only a quadroon; his par
ents being respectively onc'eighth African. The
Court charged that rs the Constitution ofthc Sta to
excluded blacks and mulattocs from tho right of
suffrage, it was for the jury to decide whether the
plaintiff came within that class. They brought in a
verdict in favor of the defendants, although it was
understood that at first seven of their number took
the opposite view of the case. The plaintiff has
given notice Of his intention to demand o new
trial.
Another case in Warren county has also Just
been tried. In 1858, Jesse Becklcy, a colored man
offered his vote, but the judges refused to receive
it, upon the ground thai he was not 81 citizen Of
tho United States" according to the meaning Of
the act of Congress. Subsequently he sued the
judges of election for $1,000 damages, and q few
days ago the judges gave him $500. A new trial
however, has been granted.

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER SLAVE SrATE.-The
slavery propagandists are quietly at work to pre-
vent ia the case of Neosho Territory, the Difficult,
ties they have had to encounter in Kansas. The
purpose seems to be through the connivance of
democratic Indian Agents to permit tho settle
ment Of Shareholders in the territory whilst by
treaty stipulation with the Indians, all white set
tlers are excluded. This We learn by the follow.
ing paragraph.
"A gentleman who has of late travelled oxten.
siyely in tho Indian territory, west of Arkansas
and south of Kansas, informs the Chicago Tribune
that hundreds of the white settlers from Arkansas
and Missouri have quietly moved into that region
and occupied tho waste lands belonging TO the
Indians; that the Indian agents connive at it, and
the whole thing is well known and understood at
Washington, Of course the explanation Of this
is, that by this secret process Ncosho is being
gradually prepared to become u slave State, as the
southern propagandists are unwilling to trust any
mUre 70 free colonization under a regular torritori

BOOK NOTICES.

TIE ExILEs or FLORIDA. or the crimes committed
by our government against the MaroOns, who
fled from South Carolina and other Slave states
seeking protection under Spanish laws. BY
Joshua II. Giddings, Columbus, Ohio Pub
lishod by Follitt, Foster " Co., 1858.
We have heretofore noticed the appearance Of
this book an extract from it will be found on our
first page, illustrating the style of the work as
well as the character Of some of the facts present
ed. These facts will be found new to its read
ers, even to such as arc well informed in regard
to the general history of the connection of our
government with slavery. They are most dis
creditable to the government and give sad evi
dence that even the best of our rulers have been
more or less implicated from the beginning in
maintaining the pro slavery policy of the country.
Indeed the facts oE the book furnish strong evi,
denco that no other course is left to any man who
true to his oath will carry out the compromising
policy of the constitution. But Mr.. Giddings as
a historian deserves credit for candor and impair
TALLY. lie has given US the facts leaving them
~ tell rs they may against or in favor Of individ-
uall, administrations, parties and the government.
In lis own language, he "discnrds. tho morality
which teaches the suppression of truth, for the
purpose Of upholding the honor either Of the gov
ernment or OF the individuals who WELD the ad-
ministration." This is no slight recommendation
of a book in this age Of partisanship and vcnality.
So early as the commencement OF the seven
tcenth century slaves from Carolina commenced
the practice of flight to the Spanish provinces in
Florida where they acquired homes and received
protection from the government and from the In
dian tribes with whom they intermarrled and to
some extent identified themselves. From the first,
commenced the efforts to r~ccapturc them, efforts
prosecuted under the colonial government but
pressed with new vigor under the government Of
the Union and marked by fraud, pcrfdy and cru
city unsurpassed by any nation barbarous or saw
age. This book faithfully unfolds this disgracelul
page of our national history from the commence
ment Of the settlement of the MaroCns till their final
massacre and enslavement and the slaughter and
exile of their Indian friends and allies. 1t is a
sad as we'll as disgraccful history but it is one
that should be mado familiar to every one, espoci-
ally to all who exercise the attribute of sovereign,
ty in the support of the government of this nation.
This last labor Of Mr.. Giddings is one that prom.
Uses to be among the most useful Of his public
labors. There are now through the enterprise Of
the publishers, scores of agents travcrsing the
country carrying this book to the doors of the
people. 10 so doing, while prosecuting an honor
able employment, they are doing q genuine and
much needed anti-slavery work and we trust that
abolitionists will buy the book themselves, and
give the agents any facility in their power for in
Producing ii to their ncighbOrs,

The ESCAPE; or, A Leap for Freedom A Drama,
in five acts. By WILLIAM WELLS Brown, author
of "Clotel," Sketches of Places and People
Abroad" etc. Boston: Il. L. Wallcut.
The popular interest created by Mr.. Browns
reading of this production, before the most intelli-
gent and appreciative audiences Of tho country,
East and Wost, is its best commentator. 1t is
one of the purposes of this drama to present slave'
ry as it is. For this purpose the author has en-
bodied in it facts as they actually occurred in the
course Of his experience of eighteen years as a
slave. Some of the characters are from life, the
originals having succeeded in obtaining their lib
erty in Canada under the protection of the British
crown. 1t will be found n useful and at the same
time a pleasant book.

VISITING THE PRISONER 1t is gratifying to Oh.
serve that the Black RIVER Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, New York at its re-
cent session, made ono movement of a decided
practical christian character. They got up and
signed a petition to the Governor Of Mary
land for the liberation of Rev. Samuel Green from
the pcnitcntiary of that State. Mr.. Green is a
colored minister in the Methodist church, of I'M
Improbable moral character; who about a year
since was sent to the pcnitontiary for ten years,
for having in his possession a copy of Uncle Toms
Cabin. The petition was signed by IA members
Of the Conference. The bishops declined to sign
under p~retcncc that they were not convinced Of
the truth Of the facts a~llcdgcd. Bishops in this
country are ever "sIow of heart to believe any
thing pertaining to common humanity, when it
brings them in consict with those popular and
powerful sinners, tho shareholders. But common
ministers like the common people seem beginning
to be imbucd with the spirit of christianity even
with regard 10 this sin.
