practical MEN"

1t has been the constant boast of those who FOR
fort against slavery extension, that they, in dis.
tincion from uncompromising aAolitionists,
acting the part of practical business men, not
ioolishly and faDatically going "too fast and too
far,,-or attempting what unattainable, but IN.
dertakng only what was feasible, and doing one
thing at a time.
Well. Ten years have gone by and we ask for
the first instance in which they have com plished
what they have so confidently promised us.
l. They promised to establish, as o principle
of nasioual policy to be carried out by action of
congress, fthe refusal to admit any more slave
States. Have they accomplished this obeot2--
No. So far from it, they distinctly deny that
since the organization of their Republican party,
in 1856, it has constituted any part of their plat
form. Their principal Journal, the New York Tri
bune, denies that it ever involved in the strug
ge on the Nebraska bill. in 1854. But we know it
was the motto of the Free Soil party. in 1913.
2. They promised to restore the Missouri rel
striciOn, Have they restored it? No one pre-.
tends it, or that there any prospects of restort
ing it.
3, They promised to establish the principle of
excluding or aboshing slavery in the Territories,
by action Of Congressman especially did they
promise this, in respect to TERRITORY once conse
Grated to freedom" Have they accomplished it ?
They have not. In their vote on the Crit:enden
Lecompton bill, they relin9uished the principle
for the sake of securing to the precise principle of
the Nebraska Bill and of the Democratic Cincn
natl platform, in 1856.
4. They prom ed. by the preceding measures
to divorce the Federal Government from slavery"
ito make freedom national and slavery sectioDap.
Have they done it? OF course they have not. On
the other hand, large strides have been made by
the slave power, toward making slavery universal.
aud permitting freedom nowhere.
Not one of their 'practcable" measures have
these practical" gentlemen carried. And yet
with the same selfcom placency as ever. they de-
ride abolltionists as "impracticables," and laud
themselves and one another as being practical
men,"
1t may be said that they failed of accomplishing
their object because they failed of getting ma
jority. But this was the very point at which they
claimed to be practical business mem" Aboi-
tionsts. they said, could never get majority, be-.
cause they demanded so much. They we're certain
of success because they demanded so little.
They were mistaken. By lowering down the
demands of truth and justice. they lost their hold
on the conscences of men. and forfeited the repu
taton of being earnest. frank and consistent men,
themselves. Their policy of compromise involved
instability, and made them unreliable and untrust.
worthy. They failed of inspiring either the re.
spect of their enemies or the confidence of their
friends. No such party can be otherwise than
ephemeral, short-lived.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.
JOSHUA BOUCHER.


Randall in his life of jefferson, says he finds
instructions prepared for the guidance of the mem
bers Of Congress from Virginia
'The abolition of domestic slavery is the great
object of desire in these colonies, where it was
unhappily, introduced, in their infant state. But
previous to the enfranchsement of the slaves
have, it is necessary to excude'all further i'm
portations from Africa. Yet our repeated at,
tempts to affect this, by prohibition, and by inn
posing duties, which might have amounted to a
prohibition, have been hitherto defeated by His
Majesty's negative thus preferring the immed.
ate advantages of a few British corsairs, to the
lasting interests of the American States, aid to
the rights of human nature, deeply wounded by
this infamous practice"
Will it be believed that in this age of the world
the propagation of domestic slavery, and not its
abolition, is ''the great object of desire" of a
large portion of the party which Jefferson found.

jefferson, regardless of the Tasting interests of
the American States," seeks to make slavery Ma
tional and its baleful influence perpetual. Not

the Southern States clamor for the reestablish.

to an attack upon the North in it's commercial re-
lations with the South, by imposing specific
taxes upon Northern goods and products and to
the supplying of the present demand and want of
the South for more negroes, eithe. by the reopen
ing of the Slave trade or by the adoption of the
African Apprentice Scheme, can but look upon
the requirement of additional Territory as one of
the undiscussed subjects that the Southern States
should next undertake"
Comment on this is unnecessary. When the
North shall consent to these demands, despotism
will have prevailed over freedom, and the Revou
ton will have to be fought over again.

HISTOaICAL.
FROM THE TWENTY SECOND ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
PENNSYLVANIA ANTISLAvERY SOCIETY.

The ultimate object of this Society is the aboli.
tion of American slavery its immediate end the
conversion of the people of Pennsylvania to anti.
slavery doctrines.
This Commonwealth once enjoyed pioud emil
nence in her relation to the cause of human free
dom. From her chief city, then the capital of the
State and nation, was first published the glorious
doctrine that "aH men are created equal" From
the same city, the centre of operations, issued
those benign influences which put period to sla-
very in this State, and which contributed so large
y to the same result in States adjoining For, aid
ed by her citizens and influenced by her example,
New York and New Jersey adopted emancipation
acts substantially similar to that of Pennsy lvania
The most distinguished names in the history of the
State are those which were made so by their pos.
SCISSORS devotion to the cause of liberty; and the
most creditsbe chapter in her annals is that which
records the emancipation of her slaves.
A brief reference to this act, and recital of the
chief facts which. as cause and effect, preceded
and followed it. will not be rreevent to our pres.

LETTER FROM BRO. BOUCHER.

DEAR BRo. PRlNDLE:-From the fact of my
having been born and brought up in the South
and having travelled extensively, for many years
as itinerani minister, in the same, many
friends of the slave have urged to give, through
the Wesleyan, some of the scenes tina. have
witnessed in connection with the peculiar institu,
tion."
l have concluded to do so ; and though the
scenes ! may describe may be as familiar as
"househod words" to those who live, or have liv.
ed in the land of slavery, yet they may be of
some interest to many of the readers of our valua
BILE paper.
To show the heaven daring, and unblushing
character of Human Slavery. will give an Incl
dent which occurred at Camp Meeting. of which
had charge, in the State Of Alabama.

Bro. S. was telling to Bro. p. one of his pccu'

sad-"You bloody fingered wretch you have
proiessed to come here Christs minister to
preach liberty to the captve-and you ars boast

rebuke kindly. he, slaveholder'like, threatened to
charge me, at the next Confer ence, with meddling
with his peculiar rights. challenged him to the
contest, but, for reasons best known to himself,
he never appeared as my accuser.

A Coop REsoLUTIoS.-The "ameTican
General Committee of New York;" by 4
vote of 80 yeas to 10 nays, have resolved not
to unite, in the fall election, with any other
party, especially with the Republican par
ty," but to nominate and support candidates
of their own. As the Black Republicans
lave been industriOusly counting an alliance
with them, we suppose that this resolution
will convince Southern Democratic papers
that portion of the Northern Americans are
not willing to make common cause with the
Freesoilers. Mr.. J. T. Phillips, the Secreta-
ny of the committee, writes to the N. Y. Ex-
press:
In political circles it is generally under
stood that the Committee has invariably
heretofore maintained character and stand
of diametrical hostility to anything in the
shape of a fusion, union compromise or Goa
lition of the "American' party with any party,
end especially nth the "RepuJlican" party, at
the ensuing municipal election; or at any
election, or at any time or under any circum-
stances, or for any consideration or cause
whatever. And venture to say. will con-
tinue TO do so.

sB- The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer
says:-lf any reliance can be placed upon the
rumors which are circulated to the effect tina,
the Citizens Bank ought not to have stopped,
and that it has assets to indemnify the note
holders, some Of the officers occupy the po-
sition of the Spanish priest, who, after ter
ribly frightening his auditors with the certain
prospect Of endless torrents, concluded by
saying, "but be not SO much cast down, my
friends, perhaps what have been telling
YOU is not all true"

CITIZENS BANK, MEMPHIS. = The Mem
phis and Nashville papers contain the Re-
port Of the Committee appointed to investi-
gate the causes which led TO the late bust
up in the Citizens Bank. The Report is too
long for publication this week,-nor is il
necessary that we should give it a place.
The extracts below from couple of Men,
phis papers, contain the substance Of what
the Committee set forth:
Statement of the Bank Commitfee-We
publish this morning the statement made by
the COMMITTEES who were appointed by pub
lie meeting, and permitted by the owners of
the Citizens Bank to examine into its con-
diiion. The late hour at which it wns re-
ceived precludes the propriety of any re-
marks from MS. We may, however, venture
to say that if the classification Of the assets
of the Bank made by the committee, and
their recommendation assented to by Mes
srs. Turner and Walker, the bill holder will
be saved from any serious loss, although he
may be subjected to some delay. We can
not permit ourselves 10 doubt that the small
deficit will be made good by the present and
late owners of the Bank, and an assurance
by them 10 this effect would soon give quiet
to the public mind, and 90 far to reinstaie the
parties who have been so severely eensured,
to the confidence which they once enjoyed
in so eminent a degree.-Mempais Appeal,
July 81.
The Eagle and Enquirer of the same date
says:
The committee only state what appears
from the books and records. They give the
assets as they find them, but there is another
view of the case which the note holder should
not lose sight of. Can the bills receivable
be collected! We understand the law to be
well settled that n corporation cannot main
tain n suit in court, without a substantial
compliance with its charter. Being creature
of the Statute, it must proceed ir conforni-
ty thereto. Such being the case, the note
holders will have to look to the stockholders
in their individual capacity.
We learn from member of the commit.
tee that Captain Turner and w. A. Jones
are not indebted to the Bank, but that MIR.
s. p. Walker is largely in arrears. This fact,
in Justice to the parties, should have appear
ed in the report.
