PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS.

Believing that God made of one blood all
nations of men that dwell on the earth and that
Jesus Christ died for all men; and believing
the African as truly possessed of all the attri-
butes OF humanity as the Anglo Saxon and oi
the same inalienable and God given rights:
therefore,
RssOlped, let, 1t is no greater wrong for the
eolored man to enslave the lchite man than for
the lDhite man to enslave the oolOTed man, and
we are bound by the law OF God to all the sym.
pathy and Christian effort for the emancipation
OF the millions of colored men 10 our country,
we should be if 80 many white men were held
III slavery in their place.
I'd. That while we admit the riRht Of the
slave TO assert and maintain his liberty, we, az
Christians, dlsapprove of all insurTectiOnary
movements, and rely upon moral and religious
influences tor the overthrow of slavery.
Sd. That the enslaving OF the colored man in
this country is such violation of every natural
right and Of the laws OF God, that it cannot
long be endured. Slavery has no higher ri ightl
than that of the strong over tho weak; right
founded in war and kidnapping, and porpetua-
ted only by brute force.
4th, That Slavery and the Gospel are at ire.
coneilahle enmity, each with the other. slavery
requiring what the gospel iorbds ane the gos-
pei requiring what slavery forbids.
9th. For The church to tolerate slavery in
her bosom, or to allow her members to enslaVe
their fellow. men, is to do grieVous wrong to
herself, TO the enslayed, and especially TO the
stakeholder, as it lessons the hope of his re-
pentance.
9th. That, initiating the noble example Of
the Society of Friends, and few other rolig
ious denominations in this country, every
branch OF the Church Of Christ should frat
free itself from all eupport and connection
with slavery, and then should utter its calm,
emphatic and persistent remOnstrances against
the "sum Of all vilanies," on all proper occa-
sions, and in all suitable ways; especially by
disfellowshiping all who hold or treat man as
property.
7th. We cannot expect our nation to become
a just, righteous nation; aud our rulers TO rule
in the fear Of God, till the church sets the ex.
ample of righteousness in her conduct towards
Ihe oppressed.
9th. The Fugitive Slave Law is iniquity
framed into law, requiring that the law Of God
and the Gospel Of Christ forbid, and making
obedience to Heaven cIime and treason
against the State.

A mysterious BULLRT--SINaULAR AFFAIR.
About nine O'Clock last night, while Charles
G. Deshler was standing on the Neil House
steps, he was somewhat alarmed at hearing and
feeling bullet whiz by his ear which crashed
through pane Of glass and penetrated the in-
side door 10 the depth OF an inch.
There was no report Of gun or anything OF
the kind, but the bullet was found im6edded in
the wood IL was a most singular occurrence,
and naturally caused Mr.. Deshler some alarm.
There is no doubt that il originated in some vii
lainous scheme to murder him by means OF an
non-explosive gun.-OhiO StGtssmaH:

Chriatian AntI-sInvory Convention.

A Christian Anti Slavery Convention was
held at Denmark, Iowa, on Dec. 10th, a day
memorable for the immolation of four human
victims by authority of the State of Virginia,
as an obation on the altar of Slavery; at
which the following preamble and resolutions
were adopted, which we commend to the care
full consideration of our readers, especially to
those Christian men and ministers, who are in
sinful completely with slaveholding by their
ecclesiastical position and relations:

the PenitentiaTy yesterday from Cleveland and
one frem Springfield, swelling the number con-
fined to nine hundred and seventeen. The Sheriff
Of Cuyahoga county also brought boy for the

old institution here, and have a very motley

To which tho Democrat adds $40 600 for
beaver, bear, badger, cross,led and silver fox,
fisher, skunk or polecat, panther, martin, and
other furs and skins. Some three fourths Of
the Brllalo robes are brought by steamers from
far up the Missouri and Yellow stone rivers,
how far up may be judged from the fact that
the steamer Chippewa, one of the two sent up
last spring, went up to Fort Benton, some
5000 miles from the mouth of the Missouri,
with l30 tons of freight. The Chippewa and
Spread Eagle took up the Indian stores for the
General Government, and brought down IS, 600
robes, 5000 wolf skins, 1000 lbs. beaver,
10 600 lbs deer skins, and various smaller furs.
The steamers are about three months in per
forming the trips.
The facts above presented give some idea Of
the great Western country yet to be settled and
changed from a wilderness to farms, towns,
cities and States. Reeollect that St. Louis is
now the inland centre, and yet steamboats, push
up the waters which wash its levee 5000
miles
Returning to Buffalo robes, the Democrat
says:
1t is an interesting fact, and new to many,
that all these buffalo robes are dressed by ln-
dian squaws, scattered over the Great West
The Indian men OF braves hold work in too
great contempt to do anything more than shoot
the buffalo; but the poor squaws must dress all
these which are marketed, we'll as enough fol
| their own use, and do all the other work OF the
| lodges. The number of robes is decreasing an.
nualy, not 80 much by the lesseniDg of the i'm
mense buffalo herds, as by the extinction of the
Indian race, or the occupancy Of their groundI
by the whites. Some years as high as 10000
robes are brought TO st. Louis; usually abju
10000; but this year only $4,000, besides the
buffalo calf skins, which are also quite numer

has never experienced colder weather in

THE GAS CoMPANY.-The News Of
yesterday takes us to task for suggesting
tho propriety OF reduction in the price of
gas, and say they "distrust our motives for
the assault" We wish to say at this time,
that we have no quarrel with the Gas Com
pany.or any member thereof We think the
Davenport Gas Company, under the man.
agement of their excellent Superintendent,
Mr.. Durmoody, the best conducted in the
State. But We wish . reduction in the
price Of Gas, and to accomplish that OBJ
ject We shall use our best endeavors. 1t is
rot true, ss the Ne,cs states, that the Gas
Company in Dubuque derives revenue
from the city. The public lamps of the
place have not been lighted for many
months, the city refusing to yay the Com
pany's bills. Notwithstanding this reduc-
ton in the revenue Of the Dubuque Com
pany, they furnish Gas for $3.50 per 1000
cubic feet We are free to confess that the
revenue of our Company has been greatly
diminished during the past eighteen months.
but its expenditures must also be much
lesa We shoald not grumble, by any
means, if the Gas Company forced the city
into lighting the public lamps, as We are
among those who would derive much bene.
fit from them, our business OBTAINING Us at
our Office until very late. The editors Of
the Nems are of course interested In light
ing the lamps, - their luster would be very
acceptable when they
s'Did . woolng Co."
At present, however, We do not think the
city is in position to incur any additional
expenditure, but If they were foolish enough
to enter into any binding contract with the
Gas Company. We say the Company is jus.
tilted in holding them to The very letter Of
the contract The Company may not be
making any money 1t atpresent, but We opine
that there are many corporations in the
