CHURCH.
A SUNDAY DRAMA.

We ere an eniDcrt people. We have Declaration
Of Irdependence, and Fourtb-of-July commensurate
81 a national Sabbath the day tina, gave it birth. we
hsve also Constitution Of the United States made ~
btsys for promoting justice sud liberty. With such
fundamental decaratcps and records, arc eminent
--peeui ,pt There is only one drawback. -Four
million people are declared to be no people al a not
up hogs and ssses, but merely cbattels. Bot
Notwithstanding tbess opinions TO the African tho
Write Southron who i. Mortified nj he idea OF eqoahsy
or marrsgo With the black, mixes blood with the
race cst as much az if marriage sanctioned it, The
result IT, that after many generations as belong 10
24O yea Of the institution, have an appropriate
number Of diaops of bloodof intsrfusing the white
with the black. Thus we see great physiological,
mora ard political fact. What would ruin white
woman socially at the South, is as common on the
part OF the men, as stockrsisDgi and all the South
teens with ibis stupendOus fact in the shape oil mixed
boos 10 10 that point where the Caucasian face, hre,
ard genius 20 predominsie that the dark-skinned
African is lost sight of-only tho expert and special
examination leading the detection Of the black blood
Hence it is no longer question Of negroslavery-but
hear it, ye old thirteen stars on the azure
heaven Of our pavilionl-bu Of white. That the
white man aud white woman sold dstresses
tie Democratic" sentiment Of thitty-piecesof silver
men of the Norh and South, any than the black
man end black woman sold, Is not to be expected.
Slavery was Instituted irrespective of color. The I'M
menss majority of slaves in antiquity Dinetyniue out
Of hundred If not all, in Greece and Rome, where
they numbered half the population, were white-purs
white. Oppression then was the same az now, and
WIS moro respectable, because it did not set up
captirg, lying howl in defence Of Slavery
as Is done the negro question.
If all the slaves South Germans instead of ne
groes, mixed blood, DO not believe 1t would 10
fuelce any of the Democratic votes against it.
TIE oppressor never il deficient Of for bis OPP
preston. We are led TO these remarks by au occar-
renee which took place yesterday in the Plymouth
Church, Brooklyn. A little whIe chsttel niue years
of age wa introduced to the Sunday-echool Of the
Church by Dir TitoD. Its story was this; IL IL
one of six children whose mother was slave and
whose father is physician-ol course man OF tue
highest standing, in the City Of Washington. These
children with the exception Of this one, the youngest,
we're at various times sold, and the mother
wa sold down South" This remaining chattel was
put under the care of Its grandmother in Washington
The owpeIs-a firm Of slaye-trader-agreed TO let the
Little white chatle remain in the hands Of he old chat
tel to pacify the latter for the breaking up of all its
family. (fisil ColumbiaD During Christmas week
the old chatttl was startled with the announcement
that the souUg cbatte to be sold to the SOUTH be-
caufe sr offer of $500 had been made for IT, The party
desiriDg to buy YVES Christian who believed IN the
command Be fruitful and mulnply;" and wished 10

The chatte So it heard this up stairs TO
the garrett locked tie door on the inside

Chii.tisn slave traders went up stairs and de-
handed admittance; did the old cbattel, but the
Young cbatiel refused let them in. So the door
forced by the Christian slave traders. Not TO make
the story too long, suffice to say that clergyman
