The services of eminent leaders from

ed that we believe it right. If we see a
neighbor expressing another and hold our
peace, we sanction his oppression by our
silence. The Tract Society cannot be
neutral. 1t must either bear its .estimo-
ny against slavery, or the world will say
it is for it, and say right. 1t may be said
that tracts, or books upon the subject
would not be now, or ever received at
the South, and therefore the publication
would be proftless, or a loss. Even so
the living preacher might teach nothing
but that which was acceptable. But he
is to hold not his peace. He is to reprove,
rebuke and exhort, whether men will hear
OF whether they will forbear. And the
fact that the Society publishes on the
subject would at least show where it
stands, and remove the stigma of pro-sla-
very that has rested upon it, throughout
the civilized world. We would not adj
/
vocate its turning aside from its legiti-
mate work to become an anti-slavery So
ciety, any more than we would have il
assume the name of any of the ten com
mandments, but we are convinced tina
there is in the North and West an oppo
sition to this sum of all villanies,' which
if it do not find expression through evan
gelical societies will join itselfto unevan
gelical, even infdel. Many now friend
ly to christianity, will ultimately JOIN
Garrison and his infdels unless the lgh
of religious societies shines upon this sin
+, While therefore the Tract Society keep
to its proper work, let it also remembe
those who are in bonds. We repeat,th
North and West are awake, and agitate
upon the subject, and you can no NOR
set it at rest by letting the dictation of tn
South bear rule than Mr.. Buchanan ca
settle the slavery agitation by forcin
Kansas into the Union as a slave State

RELIGIOUS REvIvAL.-Itis estimated
that nearly 100000 were turned into re-
ligious paths during the late revival.
The New York Courier says
at will not be denied by any man,
whether religious or otherwise, that the
effect of personal religion upon the indi-
vidual-and, as a necessary result, upon
society, which is bat an aggression of in
dividuals-is in the highest degree hap
Ply, important and desirable. In the al
laying Of unruly passions, the ameliora-
ton of selfshness, the uprooting immor-
ality and vice, the security of life and
property, the steadying of trade, the in
crease of industry-and all these upon
motives far higher and more reliable than
any mercenary ones-its advantages are
palpable, and are admitted on every
hand"

WHAT A WRETCH The Norwich

WHAT A WRETCH The Norwich
Comm Courier relates the following:
Harlan Hyde of Greensville, (part
of Norwich lost his wife one year ago
About a week since he went to the ceme-
try, dug open the grave, opened the cof-
fin and took out-what pa set of false
teeth, for the sake Of the gold plate
Hyde confesses, and justifes himself. He
is about fifty years of age, a house car
penter by trade, in comfortable circum-
stances as to property and member OF
a Christian church. 1t is currently re-
ported that he tried to get the teeth out
as she lay dead in his house before the
funeral, but the rigid muscles would moi
relax. The women of Greensville are
tempted to tar and feather him.

From California.

The California news is not important.
The following items are extracted from
the San Francisco papers:
The Legislature adjourned Oh the 25th
ult.
Sonora Guadalupe Romero died in the
valley Of the Santa Ana, Los Angeles
coanty, on the 18th ult., at the age of 1l5
years.
Six robbers armed with shot guns, stop
ped the stage from Nevada, bound for
Sacramento, with $4,000 in gold be-
longing to Wells, Fargo & Co. No re-
sistance was made and the robbers took
the dust.
The first election for officers Of the
city and county of Sacramento, as con-
solidated by act of the last Legislature,
was held on the Sd inst, and resulted in
the election of the Peoples ticket by a
majority of several thousand over the
Buchanan Democratic ticket.
A municipal election was held in Stock
ton on the same day. The Democratic
ticket was victorious.
r. E. Doyle, late of San Francisco,
and G. H. Giddings of Texas, have pur-
chased the contract for carrying the ..
S. mails between San Diego and San An
tonic, awarded to James E. Birch, who
was lost on the Central America.
Col. Fremont arrived in Bear Valley
Mariposa county, on the 10th ult., and
was welcomed by all with the Creates
rejoicing. Public respect was shown by
the lighting of huge bonfres on Noun
Bullion, and the firing of quicksilver
TASKS heavily charged with powder, il
lieu of cannon. Festivities were KEEP
up until late hour.
There is much excitement in the val
legs of Plumas county on account of ;
rumor that the Indian tribes in that vi
cinity have banded themselves togethe
for the purpose of making war on tn
whites. The Indians have taken som
stock, and the whites are preparing t
t fight them. 1t is said that the Indian
! have been much abused by unprinciple
l white men, who have taken their squaw
and treated them in brutal manner.
News from Frazer's river, in the Bri
: ish possessions, confirming the late ez
J. traordinary accounts of the gold disco,
: cries, has been received. Several steam
t ships, loaded with miners from all par
S of the country, have started, and tn
o rush is expected to increase as soon {
: the news from those who have alread
: left shall be received. The mines e.
e tend over great expanse of country, ar
n are ''placer," or surface diggings, simil;
h to those found in the early days of Cal
ir fornia. They reach across the line in
At American territory to an unknown di
If lance. Specimens of the gold are e:
e. hibited at various places in this city.
