A MEMENTO OF JOHN WESLEY IN
NORTH CAROLINA.

By the following statement from a North
Carolina religious journal, it will be seen that
they have in that State small telescope and
electrical machine, which were once the prop
erty of John Wesley. The North Carolina
Conference having formally repndiated Mr..
Wesley's ARtiSlavery creed, and denounced
it as heretical, fanatcal and, for aught we know,
diabolical, we are quite surprised that any
member Of the church in that region should
still venture to cherish anything as a memento
of the great abolitionist father of the church,
The fact is not SO stated, but we may take it
foe granted that the precious relics were merely
used by Mr.. Wesley in bis researches into physi-
cal nature. The telescope, which is acy 50
priced by our North Carolina friends, cannot
be tins moral instrument through which he
read the heavenly lays, and proclaimed to the
world that Slavery is the sum Of 81, ylainies.'
The following is the article referred to:
Aninteresting memento of John Wesley was
recently presented to the trustees of Trinity
College. 1t consists of a telescope and an slee-
trical machine which were once the property
of Wesley. Their history is briefly this 4
Dir, Draper, In England, was a personal friend
and relative of John Wesley, and procured
these instruments from him not long before his
death. He gave them to his son, who came to
America, and is known to the whole country as
Prof Draper, gentleman of unquestionabie
yeTacity and great scientific attainments
7 When Prof Draper resigned bis chair in
Hsmpden Sidney College several years ago
for the purpose of accepting professorship IL
the University of New York, which he cont;n
ues to hold with honor, he disposed of set Of
apparatus to Samuel l.. Venabe, ESQ.,, who
has for years been principal of the Oxford Fe
male Academy. The statements of Prof ORA
per to Mr.. yenable, and to others, place it be
yyond question, that these instruments wert
once the property of Wesley.
sour readers win feoollect that friend in
Oxford set forth these facts in our columns
some weeks ago. Before publishing that cen
munication, aided by several friends, we pur
chased these mementoes of the great and good
Wesley, and they have been presented to Trim
ity College, to be preserved as interesting relics

POLITICAL TRACTS.

We desire IL call particular attention to the
series of Political Tracts in course of publica-
ton by the Republican Association of this city,
and which have from time to time appeared IL
the columns of the Era. Our next issue will
contain No 4 Of the series entitled /" The Slave
Trade
These Tracts are prepared with great care by
gentlemen every way qualified for the duty as
signed them, and are issued under the supervis-
ion OF the Congressional Republican Executive
Committee. They are compiled chiefly from
Congressional and other official records, 50 that
there is no possibility Of the facts contained IN
them being refuted.
Republicans everywhere should take imme
date steps TO have them very extensively clrcu-
lated among the people. For price, &c, see
advertisement in another column.
