The Tract society Going TO Tar~
Sil5Sb,

The Tract Society, in refusing TO apply the
Word Of God, according to the cQnd tions ot
its trust, is a corporate Jonah. Il has receiy-
ed a commission to preach the whG!e Gospel
% Nineyah, but instead Of doing tnat, it las
sent commissioners to the priests Of the idol
temples, apd keepers OF the kings conscience,
10 inquire II they thought the whole Gospel
would be acceptable and safe, or if the tracts
of the Society, issued accordin~ 10 Cod :
Word without respect OF pey-oa would bo
calculated to meet the appreciation Of all evan
.elicals Of that empire. Instead Of going to
Nneyeh, the Society has taken passage for
TArshisa and now begins the storm and the
very conscience of the unconyerted Will be
disgusted at seeing prophet of the Lord
sleep and snoring in his berth, annie such
scenes Of wrath and judgment. The snip
men nay work hard a while, both to save Jo-
4th, and bring the ship to laRd; but at length
lhey viii have to cast out the traitor 1t is
doubtful il any whale can he found big
enough for the corporate prophet, especially
with Ihe new edition of Samho and Toney in
his coat pockets; bat even if there, and in
the very act of going down into his belly, the
Executive Committee would split upon tac
con titutionality of such swallowing, and the
Publishing Committee would deny tha: sara
DO and Toney had any reference whatever 10
slavety.
Is this denial, which has been reiterated
again and again. an example Of Christian in
tegrty? Compare with it the refusal to pub
Iisa the affecting and delightful narrative Of
the sweet youthful piety of the daughter OF
one Of our foreign missionaries, and the rea
son given for such refusal. Her religious eX-
perience was remarkable though only twelve
years Of age. The dear child had been deep
ly interested in the character OF Uncle Tom,
and in her actless way expressed her love and
admiration for him, because o. his kindness
in teaching little Eva to read the aihle. m
account q his p pIrayrGpd solely, the book was
rejected by the Tract Society, though present
ed for publication, and admirably adapted to
the promotion OF that vital godIiness, fer the
advancement (which the Society was cstab-
llshed. Bat an admiring aliusion to Uncle
Tom, and the teaching Of slaves to read, is
pronounced by these guardians of Southern
conscienccs, ana of the Gospel for their ap-
probation, to be such an interference with the
domestic institution If slavery, as TO render it

Federal Discrimination
Agml2hSf b'ree E4anpE.

It is time that free labor issues which
have originated out of the conflict Of
classes, the chaos of politics, and the
growth OF democratic ideas, were impress
ing other government polic es than those
which relate TO the territories. 1t is not
Sufficient that in the hyw Of population,
aud the occupancy OF public domain, the
free white labor Of this nation should be
respected; it demands likewise, in all
other departments Of administration, that
10 injurious discrimination against its IN
tcreat shall be permitted. We have here
tofore eEdeaYored to impress this point
upon our friends, especially in the west
ern states, as one of essential progress, and
now it is brought more forcibly than ever
to their cognIzance by the recent action
Of the Senate of the United States, which
whilst abolishing preScriptive bounhes
paid to free white lalor engaged in the
fisheries, has yet refused to repeal special
duties levied to support slave labor in the
salt mines and on ,he sugar plantations.
We have never advocated the former class
Of bounties, and are glad they have been
swept away, regarding them as Of doubt
fuI service, affording precedent for vicious
legislation. The Senate, in that, has, we
believe, done we'll but what shall we say
at finding that, upon the direct issue, in
volving the conflict between free and slave
labor, it has determined to maintain the
unjust tax upon the former in order to
support the sloth OF the latter The free
win. working men of the United States
are taxed annually many millions Of dol
lars 10 keep up the profits derived from
employing a few hundred thousand negro
bonds-mln at the south. Sugar and salt
are the two great nccessarias of life, en-
tering into the consumption of ehe masses
more and more every year, yet this very
food of the laborer must pay a tax to sup.
port a slave monopoly before it Gan apDeaSe
his hunger or conduce to his health and
enjoyment. The duties levied under the
present tariff amount to 24 per cent. on
the former article, and 10 per cent on the
latter, and If we reflect that it is not only
this specific custom house collection, but
likewise the enhanced price of ali that is
home produced which consumers are thus
compelled to pay, The spm becomes an
enormous one to contemplate. It is a
charge Of a and 10 per cent. respectively
upon all the sugar and salt used in the
United States for the benefit Of a slave Ia.
Dor monopoly: And this is the matter
the Senate has had before it for consider.

English Cruisers and Prize siOn-

CLOSE OF THE SESSION OF CoNGREss.-Con-
gress closed its sessions, at oclock on Mon
day, the 18th inst. The various Appropria-
tion Bills were passed, including the Post Of
fee Appropriation Bill. Much important
business was crowded into the last hours of
the session. Had not the whole session of
Congress been taken up with the discussion
OF Kansas affairs, instead Of Iegis!ating for the
good of the country, Congress might have
been ready to adjourn some months ago
SuIiiran County Usnsocrat,
That's so Mr.. Dcmoerot, but Mr.. Bu-
chanan didn't like the idea of having his
pet measure-the Lecomptou Constitu-
tion-rejected by the Peoples Represen-
tatiees, SO the Session Of Congress was
prolonged, and millions of dollars Of the
Peoples money otherwise spent, in order
thai he might have the glory (?) of tri-
umphing over the wishes of the people.
As the "edltorial head" of your paper is
graced with the names Of the nominees
of the 4th of March Convention at Har-
risburg, who accepted a platform which
declared that the mouths of the people
must be "forever closed" to the discus
sion of the Objectionable features Of the
Administration foster ohild-Lecomn-
ton-perhaps you can tell US some of the
reasons you had for prolonging the Ses-
sion of Congress by keeping the Kansas
question open-though you r0uld glad
y have avoided the "discussion" Of which
you complain. There is ''rule of life"
which we have never known to fail of full
exempl!fcation by the course OF human
natgre-aDRliod either to church, state
or social aQtiQp--Ehiah is, that the advo-
Gates ola wrong principle invariably seek
to avoid "discussion" of their motives
and acts. This, no doubt, accounts 70,
your objection to the discussion of the
Kansas question in Congress. We have
no doubt that you will be glad to avold
the "discussion" of it this fall in this
Congressional District-as will, also, your
friend Al. White.

merit he made with L, II. KINNEY, Esq, of

he (Jamesl would ever after that vote the Re
publican ticket, and in behalf of Republican
measures, or thlir heirs or assigns. On the
other hand, Kinney agreed that if it was ad-

Democratic ticket during the remaining por-

eighteen months have expired, and, on behalf
