CO How much liberty may be enjoyed b,
the nominAly free under the domination O
Slavery, is a problem likely to be prett,
thoroughly solved in the South in the cours
'of the next dozen years. Of liberty to ap
plaud Slavery, extol Slavery, uphold Slave
ry, there was never any lack, with the col
lateral freedom to chase runaway negroes
and lynch abolitionists but liberty TO op
pose Slavery, no matter how cautiously o
mildly, Was never yet vouchsafed to tn
non shareholders Of any OF our PRACTICAL,
Slave States.

General Assembly has said or done some
feelings OF the ultra fre-eaters Of the South
one Of whom writes thereupon from Enter
prise, Miss, to that eminent apostle Of free
dom, John Mitchell, saying
"The end for which you MITCHELL are la
boring can never be reached whilst y larg
denomination, extending North and South, i

ments. This 10 purely and exclusively q pc
litical question, and the proper ground TO
all churches IL that Of mon intervention ,
The political papers are the proper agencies
to call churches to account, whenever the,
interfere with political institutions. Tn
Old School Church 10 capable Of doing u
much harm, should we ever have persona
contest with the North on the question o
Slavery. Many of their ministers laborin
in the slaveholding States are known to b
strong Anti-Slavery men. They ought 4
be compelled to purge the record. As
now stands, the boasted plea Of natioaalit
on the part Of that Church 10 hollow pre-
tenoe."
10 which thus responds the John Mitche
aforesaid
Sour friend is right: the churches mus
mind their own business. Let the churche
read their Bible and not pretend to improv
upon it. In fact, if there be clergymen Z
the South who are known to be "Anti Slave
ry men," they ought to be invifed to lear
these States, and labor in some other corne
Of the vineyard"
such being the spirit in which the mild
est anti-slavery uttersnces on the part OF til
Church and Clergy are received at the Soutl
we are enabled to put its true value on an
"southside views" taken by them of tn
"peculiar institution" On one side, the
are allowed, encouraged, in effect required
to speak but il they are impeled to lisp
word on the other, they are "invited I,
leave" So they praise or keep silence
