A Genuine Abolitfonfst.

lfany man in the State is a ful-blooded Abb
olitionist it is as. D. S." who recently, in the
S. F. Times, abused DR.. Scott for simply reading
and endorsing the remarks of DR.. Adam Clark,
Methodist, relative to "Phemon." Onesimas,
it will be recolected, was a slave of Philemon.
DR.. Clark maintained that Onesimas' profession
OF Christianity did not absolve him from his du-
ties, whatever they were, as slave That also
was the opinion of St. Paul. This doctrine;
however, is contrary to the belief of some of the
leaders of the NJ. E. Church, North, in Califor-
MIA, as under it negroes would not be justified in
cutting their masters throats in order to gain
their liberty, and the Fugitive Slave Act"
could not be denounced as anti Christian
Hence one of their big guns, whom, we take it,
is none other than Rev S. D. Smonds, a man
whose whole soul seems thoroughly imbued with
love for the negro and hatred for the whites OF
the South, steps forward and assaults Dr. Scott
as an utterer of heresy, and, of course, at the
same time assaults John Wesley, DR.. Adam
Clark and George Whtfeld-a tryo embracing
the founder, greatest expounder, and most elo-
quent proclaimer of Methodism. 1t may be that
" S. D. S." has never read Rev. Abel Stevens
history of Methodism. Here is an extract from
it:
In the course of the correspondence, as also
in the will of Whitfield, we are startled by some
unexpected disclosures respecting his Georgia
property. No small amount of it consisted of
slaves; and what is still more startling, Whit
field appears to be largely responsible for the
introduction of this kind o. property, so-called,
into the province. In his will he bequeaths to
the Countess " his lands, negroes books aud
furniture" and after his death her letters to
America, respecting his property, continually
refer to the value and sale of his slaves.
Upon this the Knoxville Hhig remarks:
We beg leave to diride the responsibility " for
the introduction of this kind of property" into
the province of Georgia, between George Whit
field and John Wesley. On Mr.. Wesley's return
to England, he passed Whitfield on the ocean,
coming over. Mr.. Wesley went before the Lon
don Board of Missions, and advised them to pur-
chase negroes for the use of the Savannah
missions, telling them that small experiment in
| that line had, worked well-that the negroes
! were suited to the climate, and the missionaries
were useful to them in spiritual point of view.
| Bishop Asbury was also the owner of a slave
while in the episcopal Office. If Wesley, Clark,
Whitfield and Asbury are in Heaven, we pre-
sumo S. D. S. will admit that slave holding is
not mortal sin after all. If Whitfield and AS
bury could own slaves, and Wesley could re-
commend the Georgia missions to purchase
them, and yet get to Heaven, we presume S. D.
S., like Burlingame, will soon commence calling
for an " "Anti-Slavery God" S. D. S. is in the
daily habit of besecching God to land him safely
in the % bosom of Abraham" Has the old Alb
olitionist ever thought of the fact that Abraham
vas a slave holder?

geAs An anecdote, relative to the late Pro-
fessor Wilson Is just now circulating When
the suitor for the hand Of Professor Wilson's
daughter had gained the lady's appreciation, he
was, OF course, referred to papa. Having stated
his, probably not unexpected case, the young
gentleman was directed to desire the lady to
come to her father, and doubtless her obedience
was prompt. Professor Wilson had before him
for review, soine work, on the fly leaf Of which
was duly inscribed, " With tie authors compl.
ments" He tore this out, pinned Il to bis daugh-
ters dress. solemnly led her to the young lover,
and went back TO his work.

Bss~ At Boulougne, during the reception Of
Her Majesty, number of English ladies, in
their anxiety to see everything, pressed with SO
much force against the soldiers who were keep
ing the line. that the latter were, in some in
stances, obliged to give way, and generally were
to use the expression of our policemen-"im.
peded in the execution of their duty" The
officer in command, noticing the state Of affairs,
shouted out, " One roll of the drum, then if they
don't keep back, kiss them ALL" At the first

to flight. If they had been French says

HsS~ 1t is stated, by Republican authority
that Col. Taylor, who commanded the Harper's
Ferry Militia in the attack upon Brown and his
party, standing upon the steps of hotel in
Charlestown, in presence of large circle, has
denounced the military array and the popular
excitement got up BY Governor Wise, " as vile
political scheme to further the project of the
Governor for Southern Confederacy of which
he should be the head J" adding that he, (Col.l
though owning and representing more slaves
than any man in Virginia, would "rather that
slaves, and John Brown, and all should escape,
than that the reasonable designs of Wise
against the Union should succeed."

Bays Was old John Brown a religious fanatic
or simply cool murderer and robber? This
is question very difficult for an unpreiudiced
man to determine Hon. John Pennybacker, OF
Virginia, who was in Kansas in the capacity of
surveyor, and who was while thus employed
captured by old Brown, says:
While in his hands heard Browns son boast
of the horses they had stolen from Missouri and
elsewhere. | also saw party start out for the
purpose of robbing an Indian trading post, (Jo-
seph Bernards) and saw them return loaded
Mith the goods (some $4,000 WORTH old Brown
exclaiming as they came in, +" Well done, my
boys" Brown told me himself that his hand
was against every man, tree-State or pro-2Iarery,
who was not willing to join his band, and that
he would kill one as well as the other His son
Frederick was killed at Ossawattomie by Martin
White, a tree-State man who had refused to join
Browns company, and was thereupon robbed
and ordered to leave the Territory.

Republication.

What is Republicanism Most Republicans
hereabouts say they are opposed to interfering
with slavery in the States, but simply desire to
exclude it from the Territories. But what saws
their leader-the representative man of their
party-the immaculate exponent of Republican
sentimeat-Mr. Seward-what saws be Listen
to ail extract fom his Rochester speech:
"There is higher law than the constitution,
which regulates our authority over the domain.
SLAVERY MUST BE ABOLISHED AND WE MUST DO IT.
What do you think OF that, you California
Republicans, who opposed to interfering
with slavery in the States Slavery must be
abolished and we must do it," says Seward
" We must do it." Not southern men-not Vir-
ginians abolish it in yirgnia-and Georcians
in Georgia-and Mississippians in Mississippi
but "we' of the Northern States No wonder
that Wendall Phillips in passing eulogy upon
the Republican party, could say, ait is the North
arrayed against the South" He finds that
party, with Seward as its leader, thoroughly
abolitionized. Hence he fraternizes with it
hence he embraces it. Hear how he welcomes
the discovery, and joyously proclaims it:
1" There is merit in the republican party 1t is
this 1t is the first sectional party ever organ
lied in this country. 1t is not national
it is sectional 1t is the north arrayed against
the south. = x The first crack in the iceberg
is visible you will hear it go with crack
through the center"

Col. FREMoST-It is, doubtless, the intention
OF many Republicans to run Fremont again for
President He ran well before probably as well
as any other man woodland the opposition to
him in California because of his mining interest,
will not injure him in the least; for in no event
could he or that party reasonably hope to carry
this State, and it could not injure him in the
canvass elsewhere. Greeley's visit to him may
have had something to do with this, and his
friends are about to start paper in this State.

Ssas Ex-Governor Foote, who lectured last
week i'll Cincinnati, was advertised to give a
lecture in st. Louis afterwards. On the occa-
sion of his appearance in Cincinnati, the Com
mercidt thus daguerreotyped him:
Foote's department and mode of dress are
eminently Southern, and so his diction The
word which sharp tongued Yankees and North
ern people generally pronounce. 'thare,' and
others of kindred sound, he pronounces thar
very broadly. He is apparently about sixty
years of age, with a fresh countenance and
piercing eye. His mead is as bald as Martin
Van Buren's, with curtains of silver gray hair
on either side, and thin lock of black hair. .
as the ladies say, and his face is corraled in
Mexican phrase with thick-set, nicely cultivated
whlskerS of patriarchal length, a few shades
darker than the capillary proper. His manner
OF delivery is peculiar and somewhat entertain
ing, though indistinct. Generally he speaks
very slowly and with extreme gravity, but now
and then bursts upon his audience vebemently,
with forcibe gesticulation, emphasizing two
syilables of pollysyllable in the highest kew
and dropping upon the penultimate into an al
most inaudable whisper. To compare sound
with feeling, it's like jumping up three steps
and falling down on the other side-a sort of
corduroy sound, which is sustained, up and
down, until the excitement subsidies. The lec-
turers peachant for Latin quotations is irrepres-
slble, and in very bad taste 1t was said of him
in Congress that he required four le1icons to

DODGE THE Big OYEs.-As it is possible that
Joe Lane, of Oregon, may be nominated for the
Presidency by the Charleston Convention, we
set afoat in this State the following anecdote
about the old hero, which we find in a Virginia
paper:
When the American army was forming The
line for the battle of Buena Vista, General Lane
was riding up and down the line of his Indiana
regiment. The Mexicans had stationed some
small guns on neighboring height, which were
blazing away most fariously on General Lane S
regiment. But as their guns were badly aimed
the balls in every case passed over their heads,
but sufficiently near to cause the men, as they
heard the peculiar whiz of the balls, TO inyolun-
tariiy " duck" their heads.
General Lane happened to notice this, and in
his rough, stentorion voice, he bawled out
p" Indiana Regiment! No dodgingr'
In about five minutes after, the tremen-
dous whiz ofa twenty-four FOUNDER passed close
by the head of the gallant Brigadier, and in an
instant involuntarily he bobbed his head The
men saw this and commenced tittering along the
line, which the old General saw Turning

BTA. We observe that the Washington cor
respondent of the Democratic Standard seems to
think that Douglas is now scarcely thought of
for nomination by the Charleston Convention 1!
We likewise observe that that Washington cor
respondents of sundry late Virginia papers, re-
ceived by the last mail, intimate the very con-
trary opinion. For instance, the correspondent
of the Woodstock Tenth Legion, published in the
heart Of the Democratic stronghold of Virginia,
says:
The citizens of Alabama much prefer the at
titude of Senator Fitzpatrick before the Legis-
lature of that State, in his effort to preserve
harmony among all national Democrats. to the
position of their other Senator, the Hon. C. C.
Clay. The latter having declared that he would
not vote for Judge Douglas for the Presidency.
even If nominated at Charleston This open
declaration of Mr. Clay is not well received, for
1t may be that as a compromise candidate, (and
1t looks that way,) Judge Douglas may get the
vote OF that Convention and fso, Senator Clay
will have to come down from his position, or
remain lukewarm in the contest He is TO good
national Democrat for that therefore, he will
have to come into the support of the Democratic
nominee, even if Judge D. should be the one
