Latin Mysticism.

The friends Of the slave are called to combat
q new foe to emancipation, brought into the
field by some clerical champions. The name
of this new foe is Per Sc, though sometimes
called NAHUM an Sc. These are, in plain Eng
fish, as our unlearned readers may understand,
By ITSELF and An emil IN itself Whenever the
friends of Liberty speak of the inherent sin of
slaveholding, these champions bring forward
Mr.. Per SCI alias Mr.. NAHUM in Sc, and say,
there are some shareholders who are nominal
Shareholders and who hold their slaves for their
own good, with view to their emancipation
&c. and, therefore, slaveholding is not in every
case sinful. Now, this sort of augmentation,
it appears to me- solaces all shareholders, for
they all, or nearly all, profess to hold their
slaves for the good of the slave; and it solaces
all nominal AntiSlavery men who will not
exert themselves very much for the abolition of
a SYSTEM not sinful in itself, but only, they say
sinful in its abuses.
This Latin foe is doing great mischief, espe-
cially among those who have been to college !;
and he is affrighting some who have never had
liberal education. Our minister, say the latter
says slaveholding is not an inherent sin-that
us, not a Nahum IN Sc; and, though | do not
know what that means, l suppose it is a clinch
GER, and must be true. Why go to Latin books
to learn whether slaveholding is or is not a sin
Common sense and the religion of Christ, as /
find it in my English Bible, are enough for me-
Slaveholding, my Bible teaches, is man-steal-
ing" The commandment is, " Thou shalt not
steal" If any teach otherwise, refer him to
the apostle Paul.
But is the man who buys a slave for the
purpose of emancipating him sinner? No;
neither is he, in the eye of reason and common
sense, STAKEHOLDER. A Shareholder is one who
holds tellow-man as property, :" a chattel."
Are not such sinners / ask not Latin die
tionary, but the Bible.
Some say slaveholding is not always sinful,
but SldUe'y is and while they exclaim eloquent
ly against the latter, they say little or nothing
against the former. Thus they fight an abstrac-
ton. Slavery is "heinous wrong" " stu
pendous wrong" moral evil" &C., but
saveholding is handled gingerly; its abuses,
gentle reader, are wrong, and the masters ought
to have tracts on the duties of masters, but it
is not a NAHUM az Sc; oh, no! When shall we

"Still greater pain and astonishment have
been excited in my mind by the appalling
APATHY, on the terrible evil of Slavery, that OBJ
tains among the great mass of the ministers and
Christians and people of America, and prevents
them from doing anything, and seems to nerve
them with an almost desperate determination

feel deep conviction that it is solemn duty
of all who fear God, or regard man, in Amer
lea, TO do son,etlinq,' and it is equally nv be-
lief that a FEELING HEART for the untold miseries
of the injured African, pervading even the
Christian part of the community, would not be
long in finding out what that something as,
which ought to be done, and might be done, for
the entire abolition of Slavery in our beloved
land. With my whole heart bid those
God speed who are praying and toiing to re-
move the mighty evil X And / would
pledge them the only humble cooperation can
offer, my present. unceasing prayers. The
cause is the cause of God" ~.
And now, in view of the fact that American
missionaries on their visits to their native land
are silent on "our country's SIM" that such
men as Schaufler and Perkins, who write elo-
quently in favor of Freedom when in distant
lands, do not open their lips in public against
the stupendous sin of the age, when in their
own country, what shall we say? What is the
cause?

the importation of slaves, be believed Congress
had exceeded its power in declaring and punise,
ing as piracy the taking or receiving of negrot5

The Indian Missions.

1t is reported that the Prudential Committee
of the American Board will recommend, at the
approaching annual meeting, discoAtinuance
Of their missions among the Choctaw and Cher
okee Indians, entire or partial, and countenance
the assumption of these missions by the Old
School Presbyterians, or otherwise. The voice
of the Christian community is now so much OPP
posed to longer continuance of the Board s
completely with American Slavery, in any form,
that we doubt not it is thought desirable, by
some of the leading men of the Board to act in
compliance with this pnblc sentiment But we
earnestly hope, that if done, it will be done in
way not to dishOnOr Christian efforts made for
the abolition of Slavery and the slave trade, or
to dishonor the Gospel.

with San Francisco to Oregon, to San Diego.

This is of frequent occurrence. Monthly, an
amount of money is expended which, in the.
years aggregate, sums up to an almost incred,
ulous column. 1t is bad system, besides an
expensive one. All systems are ill-advised
which go out of the regular service for assist

and pays enormous prices, whilst our men-oE
war are kept idle in port, on expenses veEs
nearly as heavy as in active service. Thus two
or three thousand dollars day are very Otter
squandered in the chartering of special trans
pOrtatiOn steamers.
d" A few days ago, the mail steamship from
Aspinwall brought to New York the ships crew
of the sloop of war st. Mary, at an expense of
perhaps ten or fifteen thousand dollars, when IN
fact, one Of our Government vessels at Aspin.
wall could have been detailed for this duty
without any detriment to the service, and the
amount transferred to the Mail Steamship Com
pany saved to the Government.
" We call the attention of the Secretary of
the Navy to this matter. The economy of his
Department, we take it, is nearest to his heart,
and reform in this respect would prove a de-
crease of amount in the annual outlay which
would astonish all who have not considered the
subject as it deserves 10 be considered.
Let us have reform, then in the quarter
indicated. Abolish the system of private specu-
laton transports. Employ Government vessels
instead. When there IS work to do, make them
do IT. For what is our navy designed in time
Of profound peace if it cannot afford to perform
a little civil labor? For Just such service they
have the example of the French and English
marine establishments; they have the example
Of all economical Governments they have the
example OF very empty Treasury"

Rev. Justin Perkins, D. D.

In the August american Missionary, read,
with much qualification, some extracts from the
celebrated sermon Of this distinguished mis-
sionary of the American Board, entitled " Our
COuntrys SIM This admirable discourse.
written in Persia, and sent to this country for
publication, was widely circulated, and en-.
deared its author to all the liberty-Ioying people
of the land. The widow of one who took much
pains to distribute this sermon lately wrote to
inquire whether DR.. Perkins, during his present
visit to the United States, had lifted IN his
voice against our country's sin. She was in
formed that so far as the writer could learn. he
had not, in any of his numerous addresses, ut
tered word against American Slavery. In
reply, this lady says:
" his silence Is an additional evidence of the
statement made by DR.. Cheever, in May 1853,
at Boston, when he said, No voice is raised at
the anniversaries of our Missionary Boards.
though we hear, by letters from our missionary
brethren abroad, how their hearts are filed with
anguish at the dreadful prevalence of this sin,
and how this stumbling-block of our iniquity
lies IN the path OF the Gospel; and yet, the mo-
ment they step on these shores, and pass
through the ordeal of our conservatism, it is a
perfect dephlogistication of their souls, &c. I
have many times asked myself what must be
the emotions of the little daughter of Mr.. Per.
kins, as, from her heavenly home she follows
her father on his course through the churches
of New England and the North. That fathers
lips, in distant Persia, could utter these words
For one, plant myself by the side of the suf.
fering and the oppressed, the world over. They
shall have the poor benefit of my humble name
and my feeble pen; and, had a thousand more
to offer, gladly would lay them on that altar,
at the feet of the Man of Sorrows, the suffering
Saviour Now she sees that loved fathers lips

AT the public entertainment given on board
this ship in honor of her completion, Lord
Stanley said, if this experiment succeeds, it
will have reduced by one-half the distance in
point OF time which now divides continents and
nations which nature has separated by inter
vening oceans; it will be greater step, a
greater progress in the art of building
than has ever been accomplished in our genera
ton it viii render the passage over the stormy
ocean to remote countries as easy and as free
from discomfort as the railway train is at pres
ent; it will stimulate and develop trade to an
almost incalculable extent; it will enable Eng
land to pour into the great empire of the East,
in case of need, reinforcements and aid with
rapidity equal to that of the overland line, and
BY route over which no foreign potentate can
exercise control.
The Great Eastern is calculated to carry
population of 10000, including the crew. Her
completion, should she fully succeed, is an
event in history-and her arrival in Portland
next month VIII be commemorated by the visits
of thousands.

comparison with the great steamship, except
Noah's Ark; but even Noah's Ark could not
match it. The length of the Ark was 300
cubits, its breadth so cubits, and its height 80
cabits. The Scripture "cubit," as stated by
Cir Isaac Newton, is twenty inches and about
sixty-two hundredths. Bishop Watkins makes
it somewhat more, namely, twenty-One inches
and about sixty-eight hundredths. Reducing
