Dem OcrItic Doctrine from the Wood
County Organ.

Democratic Doctrine from the Wood
County Organ.
Our neighbor up street, who is supposed to be
the expounder of unadulte teratcd denocrsc cy for
Wood county, has recently been issuing some
bulls - from tho Biz BJnc Lick which are
somewhat remarkable. Last week he declared
that the Bible recognizes Slavery and justified
member Of his own party for abruptly and in.
dc Gently leaving church. in time of service, be.
cause the minister expressed the opinion that
Slavery is not one of the Christian graces, This
week, the democratic organ for this county
takes another step, which is even more remarka-
bic than the first. Hear him:
Blackstone informs us that the laws of man
are founded upon the laws Of God. The frnn-
ers Of the Constitution of the United States
which instrument is the Supreme law Of the
land, arranged il SO that it would not conflict
with the laws OF God and taking the Bible for
a guide. cngraited into that instrument u clause
recognizing slavery. This being the case, those
who love the laws Of God ami the Const tuition
more than they do the negro should rot be in-
suited and abused by any " woolly head" wheth-
er he be an Editor or minister of the Gospel"
Blackstone, according to our noishbor. mast
have been "hgher law man. lie seemed to
think it our first duty to obey the laws of God
Oar neighbor would also have us believe that
ho too is a "higNer law" m,u, IL, claims, in
the above extract, that the trainers of the
constitution of the United Stotes,' "arrauged it
so that it would not conflict with the laws of
God and taking the Bible Gol a guide engruft-
ed into that instrument, he Constitution n
clause recognizing slavery Then follows his
conclusion that it is an insult to "thosa who
love the laws of G,d aud the constitution for
an "editor or minister OF The Gospel" to de-
nounce as a sn the stealing and enslaving Of n
human being. In other words, he contends that
Slavery is one oi God's ordinances that the Con-
stiution Of the United States was framed with
special regard to that faot--that therefore all
"who love the laws OF God nnd the Constitution
more than they do the negro" should hold the
latter in bondage, and not BE- thereby subject to
annoyance from "woolly heads" II his IDEAS
are prrptrly stated in the above extract and il
they be truN, then it will be diff cult foy any
man TO obtain future bliss unless he can carry
with him tide deed to some poor Niger.
Our nagh5or is very uitortumte in the utter
nnce of such sentiments at this tim, aud par
ticularly in this place Tn, people h1reabou :
are generally SOL what posted IN the teachings
of the B,bls aud know som thug OF the Con
sli,ulon of the Unitel States, anl we fear he
will find il an uphill business to convince them
that both OF these important documents were
mainly designed to justify one half Of the people
of the earth in cnsluvins the other half lie
will nnd that even Moses, in his fifth book
Deuteronomy denounces the principles of our
Fugitive Slave Law In the 23l chapter of that
book. l5th AMI 10th verses, he says:
"Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the
servant which is escaped from his master uuto
thee:
"'lls shall dwell with thee, epea among you
in that place which he shall choose in one OF Il
gates where it lkrth him best; thou shalt not
Cypress him.
How will you reconcile that doctrine with
your ass rtions, friend Knapp2 Ii we are cor
rectly informed, yoar master of tho Biz Bone
Lick made his llu'ttious exit from church be.
cause he had reason to suppose that the minister
was about to den ,uncc the Fugitive Slave Law,
and practices under it, Now, suppoing Slavery
TO be Divine Institution, certainly one who
thinks so much OF the law of Moses, will be
compelled 10 denounce the Fugitive Slave Law,
and hence you must also cenSure your chriSIrn
brother for showing his zeal for slavery by con.
temptuously leaving the church beause his minis.
ter denounced law which is IN direct conflict
with the law OF Moses.
All.n-all, our neshbo, is determined % so
the entire niger dictrin', as laid down aul eS
pou lded by Southprn Shareholders We shall
next expect t. see him adopting Senator HIM

the B,bls aul the Constitution, Certainly hr
will not grow weak in the knees when it comes
to the doctrine that "the pooc are always III
slaves of lha rich" lie is undoubtedly only
keeping step to the music OF his party in utter
ing these sentiments. and it remains TO DO Seen
how many th re are who will endorse such doc
trines at the baliot-box next 0ltober
