SEWARD AND Hrs FRIEND MArrEsoS-TuE
MARTYR on 0NEID, CouSry.-No one can
have read or listened to the recent speech of VIM
ii. Seward, in Rome, without feeling touch of
commiseration for poor Orsamus Benajah Matte
son. According to Seward, be was faithful among
the faithless in Washington, and all the charges
made against him in regard TO his plundcring
propensities and lobby management were insti-
gated by hate and malevolence, because Of Mat
teson's terrible blows against the slave power
There Is Latin maxim among the lawyers which
Mr.. Seward must often have quoted in the course
Of his professional career:-Fdims in uno. .fdias in
omnibus, Is one Of the tritest and trucst maxims
used at the bar to break down the testimony Of q
witness. II means, that when witness falsely
pcrvcrts the truth in regard TO one fact, bis
whole testimony Is tainted and unworthy of Gre
dit. We propose to apply that principle Of law
to Master Stewards testimony In favor Of Matte
son. and TO ask the people Of the United States
who are the jurors in the case, what degree ofbe-
lief there ought be placed In witness who so
grossly fslsi6es the truth in one instance, even
though it be in favor Of fellow culprit
In the exordium Of Mr.. Stewards Rome speech

duct TO 0neida's present representative in Con-
gress, Mr. Orsamus b. Mattcson. lie says

Let us for moment contrast these proceedings

other coming from 1lorin. One of these caravans

The revival may temporarily rctard and interfere

as that formed with NJ Regis. Unhappily, the
Regis contract is not the only evidence of the
change Of policy in the slave trade which distn.

1880 and the Republic Of 1913. The project of

spirit of materialism which purchases negroes out

only too apparent, that France is again rapidly

and that not by the choice of its people, but by the
will Of it's ruler.

CONFERENCE OF THE N. E. CHUaCH AT
NASHVILLE.
THE CONFERENCE DISCUSS SLAVE TRADING AMI
THE VANITY OF COSTLY ArPAREL

At the latest accounts from Nashville on ami
mated discussion was going on as TO its constitu
tional authority to abolish the General Rule on the
subject of buying and selling men, women chill
dren," NC. The doubt arises from the fact, thai
| by an oversight, the subject not submitted to
several of the annual conferences, although ma
Ijority of two thirds voted for the change.
Some discussion took place on resolution rec
ommending the striking out of tie discipline the
section ION dress" Some Of the reverend speak,
ers were very pointed, severe and sarcastic in
their remarks. One of them declaimed in q mos
eloquent manner about gold studs, gold shirt but
tons, gold spectacles, gold'headed canes and five
hundred dollar breastpins One of the speakers,
who opposed the proposition TO strike out, said
that the preachers would have to meet the rich.
loaded down with jewelry, when they came for
ward to join the church, while the poor and
afflicted were neglected and uneared for, &c.
Another, in reply said at j understand the
General Rule it is against putting on Of gold sim.
ply as an ornament. which certainly does not ap'
ply to such things as spectacles and canes. And
II these things were forbidden there is not word
in the Scripture against men wearing, but only
the women ! so that on Scriptural ground we
might claim an exemption from the law"
Another said 1--WE may carry as many $50
pieces IN our pockets as we please but II we
happen to stick little bit of it about here some'
body is greatly scandalzed. We may store up as
much golc as we can in our Golfers but if we
should make hole in gold dollar and hong 1t to
button hole, some would Immediately be
offended. Iheard the eccentric Mr.. Mafft say that
when some one asked why he did not preach
against dress, he replied that when he went bird
shooting he always tried to shoot down the bird,
and not to shoot of the feathers. never did
preach against dress always found enough else
to preach about l prefer to preach about
Christ, and Him crucifed." ....

punging the rule, and among other things said
