We ask, what citizen, who is worthy of the name
would not throw such fallacy back into the very
teeth of the moral craven who should utter it, and
Indignantly exclaim, is it right to rob me of my
chidH Is it right to reduce my child to a chatel?
To deprive it of all knowledge Of patornal control
or reduce it TO a liability to these dreadful disabi
tiesH And if it is not right what business has the
Church to tolerate it fer a moment2 Is she not
set for the defence of the right the right of one as
well as that of the million? Away with such n

merely. Religion appears not so much in her sub
lime doctrine, as in her su blime acts and achieve
ments. She cannot live by professions and inquir-
les merely, she lives by conquests, by the victory
Of truth over error, right over wrong, of humanity
over oppression, Of intelligence and refinement
over ignorance and coarseness. These conquests
only achieved by the most active and energetic
toll. All who suppose they can work out great
reform without these, subsisting on fallacy; as
they have substance in their creed, so they will
have no real reform or effect in their lives. May
the faacious cry, there arc but few slaves in the
Church, and therefore your zeal is altogether too
ardent, cease to put good mer to sleep, and from
this time fail to keep the browsing in their maps

THE PROPHET AND THE MAN WHO
HONORS HIM.

A correspondent of the Amt,-Slaue,y Standard
says,
next Saturday 9th of septemberl the much
discussed statute of Daniel Webster, which has
just been set up in the grounds of the State House
(by leave alas Of the LEGISLATURE is to be inau-
gurated and great glorfcation had of all manner
of prosavery, and Fugitive Slave law servility.-
Edward Everett is to out-do himself on the occa
sion, and Gov. Banks to play the Aunky more con-
spcupusy than ever before. 1t is twin occasion
to that when the Virginia Senator, Mason was in
troduced with all the honors, to Bunker Hill, and
Il. G. Withrop and others exhibited towards him
the supplementary aunkoyism which W. Il. Alger
so well described Poor old Massachusetts is sore
ly put upon by her sons. If she is not irretriev-
ably dishonored and ignominiously branded for
reachery to all that is good in her past history it
must be because she has power Of vitality to re-
sist everything. Certainly such men as Webster,
Choate, Everett, Winthrop, Dewey, Southaide Ad-
ans, and host of interiors, have done their worst
to accomplish her disgrace and now n p. Banks
is fairly to be added to the list; for but for his Of
fering himself ready tool, no Webster man would
have dreamed of its being possible to get that
statue erected in the grounds of the State House
of Massachusetts,. Such honor has never been
paid to any one. And now Samuel Adams, John
Adams John Hancock, O;is Warren, Quincy,
Benjamin Franklin, and may more of her eminent
and noble sons passed by, TO erect that statue
of this recreant New Hampshire man; who know
ing the right, chose the wrong, and for his own
selfish advantage asked Massachusetts, to conquer
her prejudices against slavery and slave-hunting,
and accept tho Fagitive Slave law When will
the ounce come that is to break the patient beasts
back, or, at least, it to exert its might, and
cast off the shameful load forever?"
That our readers may not forget the sentiments
of the :God-like" upon slave catching and the
Fugitive Slave Law. we republish the following
extracts from his speeches.
"My public speeches show my opinion to have
been decidedly in favor of proper eficieut and
well-guarded law for the recorery Of fJagitice slareS
In my judgment the present law is constitutional;
and all good citizens are bound 10 respect and obey
il, just freely and readily as if they had voted
for it themselves ! think agitation on the subject
ought to cease"

A NEW AND EXCITING BOOK.
please copy.l

In the early par, of October the public will be
greeted with book Of extraordinary interest. 1t
is the Life, both as Slave and Freeman, of Rev.
j. w. Loguen of this city. Mr.. Loguen is an
extraordinary man and his early life was mark
ed by some of the most terrible and diabocal
seventies of slavery. These scenes, varied and
manifold, together with his wonderful escape
from slavery, aud the fearful perils attending
such escape, with the equal hazards through
which he passed after escaping from the nominal
domain of slavery, and his career from that time
to the present are recorded faithfully and in a
manner that keeps up The interest of the narrative
to it's conclusion.
That our readers may have a foretaste of the
entertainment to which they are invited, we copy
from the advance sheets the following sketch of in
fernal violence and murder
At a small distance from the Lognes,* on the
opposite side of the Creek, lived savage man by
the name of Belts. He was the proprietor of a
large plantation and a number of slaves. He was
also an habitual drunkard, and proverbial for his
passion and malice and cruelty and for such ex-
cesses was despised, even by the Shareholders Of
the neighborhood.
On beautiful spring morning, land none more
beautiful inolded the rays of divine goodness
than those which pour their blessings upon the
monster growths of nature and man in the valley
of Mancoe's Creek, )-Jarmt having neared the
age of ten years, was leisurely sauntering amid
the green grass and blossoming fields, and regal
ing his senses with the music of birds and insects
and the oulspreading beauties and harmonies OF
nature, which ever enter receptive spirit, and
with "a still small voice." announce the presence
of an unseen God-then, when all was quiet with
in, and all beauty and bliss and harmony without,
there arose from the opposite bank howl of ag-
ony which thrilled his soul, and forced him as it
were, from heaven to earth again. Screecbes, and
screams. aud cries for compassion, followed the
.Mr Loguep's master and family.
