withdraw all fellowship from a society which
brings shame upon every man who calls himself
an evangelical Christian, and which embraces the
here'y that slaveboidihg is to be tolerated without
rebuke from the organ Of confederate Christianity
in these United States. The matter has now as
sumed a seriousness which fJrbids compromise or
false tenderness. The lines must be drawn between
those who uphold, and those who denounce the
unevangelical aud uuchristian platform of the New

refuse to bow to the American Baal. Let the

From the Republic.
JUDGE SWAY, OF OHIO.

The Buffalo Express of the 18th instant says:
"A we'll organized and properly toned public
opinion is a prompt and efficient corrector Of what
II regards as erroneous or wrong. The fact has
been clearly evinc,d in the case of Judge Swan,
in the late Republican State Convention Of Ohio.
1t will be recollected tina. this Judge, q few weeks
since, remanded the 0berlin-restue prisoners for
trial, under q writ Of habeas corpus, that
had been sued out with a view to their
liberation. This decision was not in accord
ance with the popular sentiment Of the Re-
publican part, Of Ohio, and, when his name was
introduced into The Convention for a nomination,
the corrective was applied, and the Judge was
laid away to enjoy the sweets Of retiracy."
The failure Of Judge Swan to receive tho nom.
ination does not prove that the decision of the Su-
preme Court of Ohio, delivered by him, in tho late
ha5eas corpus case, is condemned by the Republic
an party Of Ohio. Judge Ghvlson, who did receive
the nomination, weuld have made the same decis-
ion and this was well understood by every mem
Der Of the Convention. If the Convention had in
tended to rebuke Judge Swan for making that de-
cisiou, it would have nominated Judge Spaulding,
or some other man entertaining opinions in eOndis,
With il.
Having been in Ohio at the time the Convention
was in session, aud having conversed with a num-
Der Of the delegates on the subject, we speak ad.
visedly when we state that those who were most
active and earnest in pressing the name of Judge
Gholson upon the Convention, werc the very men
who most approve Of the decision of the court. pro-
nouneed by Judge Swan 10 the aabeas corpus case.
Judge Gholson was the candidate Of the Southern
part of the State, where the decision Of the court
is sustained with great unauimity BY the Republic
ans. The friends Of Judge Gholson were enlisted
in his behalf before the decision of the court was
made, and before it was known how Judge Swan
would decide the question at issue.
We do not doubt that some of the delegates
from the northern part Of the State who condemn
the decision Of the court, voted against Judge
Swan on accoun, Of that decision ; but it is not to
such men, that Judge Gholson is indebted for his
success. Locality had much more influence in de-
Gliding the contest, than the opinions OF the candi-
dates on the merits of the habeas corpus case
Mr.. Dennison, the nominee for Governor, Mr..
Stone, the nominee for Treasurer, and Judge Swan
are all residents Of Columbus. 1t was out of the
question TO put three citizens of Columbus on the
ticket, as candidates for the three most important
Offices.
In fact, the nomination Of Judge GhOlson was
rather an endorsement than Il condemnation OF the
Supreme Court in the case referred to, and was so
understood by every Republican we convcrsed
with on the subject, in the course of some ten days
which we spent in the southern part Of Ohio, sub
sequent to the nomination.

but that q long-continued dyspepsia, and the ner-

combined to bring about the weakness under
which he suffered. For the fret two or three days
he was upon deck for the greater part Of the time.
The weather was fresh. though not unpleasantly

any considerable discomfort. The motion. howev-

no appetite and could relish nothing but a little

THE REIGN OF DIABOLISM.

We see it stated in several of our exchanges;
that at the recent session of the General Assem-.
bly, of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, hold
in Evansville, Indiana, ian oficia! report was

ecation to satisfy a Judgment an behalf Of the Mis-

Is it possible that such an example of absolute
heaihenisn has been exhibited by o protested
Christian assembly as is here stated7 Although ths
the s atement seems to be reliable, we hope there
may be a mistake, favorable to the Assembly con.
cerned. Such a transaction has so much of cold
heartedness and unfeelingness in it, that we could
hardly expect an act like it from the most derrny-
ed wretches that live. There ore no doubt e~face!ess

is too monstrous to be thought of. Bro. Editors,

HOW THEY ARE SERVED.

"a corr espondent Of the N. Y. Tribune relates
the following illustration of slavery
1t i, we'll known that the venerable George
Washington Parke Gusts died some two years
ago and the same papers that announced his
death announced also the fact that on his death
bed he liberated his slaves. The will, for some
reason, was never allowed any publicity. and the
slaves themselves were cajoled along with the idea
that some slight necessary arrangements were to
be made, when they would all have their free pa.
pers. Finally they we're told that fUe years must
elapse before they could 60. Meantime they have
been deprived of all means Of making a little now
and then for themselves, as they were allowed tC
do during Mr.. Custis's life, have been kept
harder at work than ever. and part of the time
have been cut Town to a half q peck of ~unsifted
meal o week for each person, without ev
en- their fish allowance. Three old women, whc
have seen nearly their century each, are kept sew
