MANIFESTATIONS ON SLAVERY.
BY DR.. CuEEVRR.

We have waited and watched to see if the gath
ering of hundreds of thousands into the Churches,
and the establishment Of noon prayer-meetings in
our great cities, would be signalized by any grea-
ter tenderness of conscience, any deeper abhor,
reence of this sin, any new effort against it, any
tide Of supplication in behalf of the enslaved, any
united and organized labors of prayerful zeal, any
r~allying of moral power and spiritual energy
against the gigantic iniquity, any such results as
are recorded to have followed the great re yivals no.
ted in Gods Word, when men purged the land
from its denominations, and put away their idols
and their profitable sins. But there are no such
practical fruits. If, of late, there have been more
pulpits delivered from the curse of 6umbness,
more lips unsealed, more sermons preached, it is
not the time-serving piety Of the REVEALS, but tie
hanging Of John Brown that has opened them
1t is the awful providence of God rousing the ma.
lion from that %scadold, and not the previous grace
or Word Of God practised by the Churches of the
Ministry.
We have waited to see what the American
Board might be persuaded to do that great and
venerated exposition of the best piety of the coun
try, as has been supposed. We have waited fol-
some decisive testimony, some exercise Of thu
moral power and opportunity committed to tina

hostility against the missionary enterprise, espe

tons, in full view of this unqualified admission Of
participation in a piratical trade, we're still willing
to fraternize with Mr.. Cauldeu and bis fellows.
OF course Mr.. G. is one of the lovers of the
Union whose laws he sets at naught, and of course
his vote was entirely acceptable if it could aid in a
nomination that would secure to the Democratic
leaders the division Of the spoils."
The above, from the Cleveland Leader, looks
very much like an illustration of the straining at
a gnat, and swallowing a camel process. If We
are not mistaken, the Leader published Mr.. Love-
joys recent speech, and greatly commended il.
In that speech Mr.. L%ovejOy told the Shareholders
they were worse than pirates; and yet the editor
of the Leader and all the rest Of the Republicans
fraternize with every stakeholder they can coax
or drive into their pa:ty. There may possibly DO
a difference in degree Of eriminality between the
enslavement of an African and an American. II
we should make any, we should ineline. to put
down as the greater criminals those Republican
s!aveholders-be they few or m~any-whO steal men
according to law, rather than the traders in ma
tive Africans who buy contrary to law.
Why should men who claim to bo humane aud
democratic, be forever and everlastingly making
a distinction in the rights Of men, which God
never made 2 Granted that Mr.. Cau.den is O pi-
rate, and a man-thief is he any more a pirate
and a man-thief than is every Republican
and every Democratic stakeholder who does not
violate the laws Of the country in stealing the
lights Of Americana? Does the mere PARCHMENT

THE SLAVERY QUESTION IN THE M. E.
CHURCH.

The following are the positions of the various
Conferences now represented at the General Con-
ference at Buffalo, on the question of alteration Of
the rule in relation to Slavery. Tho present dis
cipline Of the Church only forbids the buying
and selling'' Of men, women and children, with
the intention of holding them as slaves. Under
this rule a portion Of the Church have claimed
that the right to hold slaves is not inconsistent
with the discipline. The different propositions
were substantially as follows.
The Erie proposition asks for a change Of the
rule SO as to forbid slaes holding, or such an in.
depreciation declared upon the present rule, as
shall fully carry out this design.
The Providence proposition asks for such a
change as shall declare the buying and selling of
men, women and children Vih the ~intention 10 en-
Stare Them, Inconsistent with Christianity"
The Cincinnati proposition asks for a change
in favor Of nOn'sloveholding with this addition,
shat ron-slaveholding shall not be considered a
condition of membership.

Necessary to o choice,

If no candidate has a majority of all the electo-
raj votes, then the House must from the three
highest, make the election, and that, too, by a ma.
jOrito Of all the Statee. If they fail to do this pre-
vious to the 4th of March, then the Vice Presi-
dent shall act as President. If no Vice President
shall have been elected by the House, then the
Senate shall choose one from the two highest num-
bers on the list voted for.
1t will be seen, therefore, that, if no President
or Vice President should be chosen next Fall, and
if the House of Representatives shall fail to elect
either, the Senate will have the appointment of the
Chief Magistrate, though it can only select from
two names presented BY the House. In effect thu
Democratic members Of the House of Representa-
tives would have the power Of election.

that have governed my actions. l do not propose
to do SO now. But in answer to the following
question which has been put to me, viz why
did you not test this matter before a State Court 2

of Sanborn at Concord. While l was at Boston,
my counsel, Hon. S. E.. Sewall, called on this
same Freeman 1.-THE MarsbaD who was subsequent

some assurance from him that 1 should have an
opportunity Of testing the matter before q State
Court, in case be should be ordered to serve n pre-
cept on me. But Freeman would give no such as
surance so | found myself liable to be seized at
any moment DC the departure of the cars South,
and hurried to Washington. 10 this condition of
things, word came that the Senate bad by resolu-
ton. ordered me to its bar. Before leaving Wash
ington l had reason to suppose that this privilege,
as then regarded it, would not then be accorded
me. But on its being ordered, my counsel. Messrs.
Sewall and Andrew, with the concurrence and
earnest recommendation Of the venerable Judge
Fletcher, formerly Of the Supreme Court of Mas
sacdusetts, advised me to obey the N pro.
coed to Washington and appear before the United
States Senate they and | supposing that this au.
gust body had Inadvertently fallen into error, and
that a respectful argument would be cheerfully lis
tened to by them. l followed my counsel's advice;
but on getting t. the bar Of the Senate, 1 there en-.
countered an effort to entirely prevent the argu.
ment from being heard; and when mainly through
the exertions Of those noble and true men, Charlie.
Sumner and John p. Hale, this outrage was pre-
vented, another equally as abominable and mucl
more S%neahing was committed. The men who were
to pass judgment, and who have actually sentenced
me to this human sty' for life, LEFT THE!SENATE
stnid away until after my defense was read, anC
tnen came in and passed sentence upon me! and tai
partisan papers Of the country, to a great extent
have gloated over this exhibition of irresponsible,

Suppose that instead Of this sentence being OF
one man, it were upon a hundred or a thousand
and it might as well be and suppose that, in

away my l0e-and the Senate have the same pow

BENEFICIAL RESULTS OF WEST INDIA
EMANCIPATION.

The Methodist Quarterly Review has in the
April number an extensive article on the Results
OF West India Emancipation" in which we find a
tabular view Of the comparative condition of the
British western slave colonies in 1888 and in
1912. From this it appears that in eighteen
years, since the emancipation, the population Of
these colonies went up from 827 ,224 to LOGS. 1896.
an increase of over thirty per cent, and every sin
gle colony had increased, except the small islands
of Anguillo, Monserrat and Nevis. The yearly
revenue increased from G432, 999 to els. 100:
the value of imports from G3, 205. 523 to G4,727,.
295, Shipping increased from 473, O9l tons to
G5l COS. The sugar exports to the United King
dom had gone down from 3 .G46,3 66 to 3, 408, 637;
home consumption had become immense, besides
a considerable export to the other countries. The
writer of the article, Rev, Henry Bleby, an Eng
fish Wesleyan clergyman in Barbados, who has
resided also in Jamaica for fourteen years, adds
the following remarks.
"The statistical view which we have given OF
the colonies in 1872 exhibits the results of EN-.
ancipation under the most unfavorable aspect fol-
that as already shown, was tho period, when the
aGairS of the planters were at their worst, and the
financial condition and prospect of the colonies
most dark and discouraging. Since that date a
vast improvement has taken place in the Yves,
Indies. Sugar having risen in value, an impulse
has been given to its culture and manufacture
The planters adopting modern improvements, find
the cultivation of their estates highly repunera
tive, and the proftableness of free over slave labor
is no longer a matter of question or experiment
but of demonstration and certainty.
