DIR Cheever on the Foreign and domestic
Slave Trade:

SluNc lfdue.
A correspondent of the Detroit Tribune, writ
ing fiom New York, says:
In the evening was fortunate enough to reach
the Church of the Puritans. in time to secure
good scat and hear Dr. Chcever's first sermon
" On the sin OF the foreign and domestic trade in
slaves" DR.. Cheever is giant master spirit
speaking with power and authority, bold
man, lover OF the truth. lie has all the calm
ness and wisdom of Luther, the bold, outspoken
manliness and talent Of Knox. Had he lived in
the exciting times Of the reformation, none
would have excelled him in burning zeal and fear
less advocacy of the right. His arguments were
unanswerable, his logic perfect. And | pity the
man, if any such there was, who left the church
that evening unconyinced that the slave trade for
eign or domertic, could not be justified by the
word of God, human law, the power Of the Presi
dent, schemes of unprincpled politicians, or the
black, damning, wicked and unjust decision of
Judge Taney. Had Buchanan or fancy heard that
sermon, sleep forever would have fed their eyes
Said he at the opening: al know what it costs TO
preach against slavery know the effect produced
on the church, by a rich pev-holder, rising and
walking out of il, in the middle of the sermOn;"
but said he, with rising energy, no man or church
shall gag me. When the time come in which l
speak the word of cd for fear of giving Of
fence, will then throw the ministry to the winds.
will not yield preach to suit the popular taste,
SO as to fill the pews draw large revenue to the
church, and GO round like coward and a sneak,
and ask this and that will this draw7 viii this pay7
will this please? None of these things viii do:
am the servant ambassador of the living God, and
will proclaim his judgments against every wicked
ness, boldly and fearlessy have counted ihe cost
and am ready to suffer for the truth"
The boldness Of his position, his sublime elo-
quence, his fearless bearing, his convincing
ing, and powerful appeals to our better Judgment.

all Michigan see the sinful wickedness of the &C
cursed trade.

THE REPUBLICAN.
A Minister to be Hung.

One Of the most remarkable trials Of modern
times has just been brought to conclusion in Bel
vdere. New Jersey. The Rev. Jacob s. Harden,
young Minister of the Methodist Church, was
tried for the murder Of his wife, convicted and sen
tenecd to be hung on the 2eth Of June. The tes-
timony shows that he had first seduced the young
lady under promise Of mariage-that he had de-
laycd the marriage on various frivolous preten-
ses, until apprehensive of personal danger he had
at length made her his wife-that they lived to-
sether in apparen. happiness for some months,
when after lingering sickness she died. A post
morfem examination revealed the fact that her
death was caused by arsenic, and long train Of
circumstances showed that it was administered by
his own hand. Day by day he stood at her bedside
and fed her the poison. and cold blooded monster
that he was, saw her life blood ebbing away. with
out a feeling Of remorse. Attorney General Day
ton conducted the prosecution with great ability.

The Movers.

Judge Gookns, formerly Of the Supreme Bench
of this State. now of Chicago, at the New England
Festival in that city, in respose to toast recited
little poem, in which he depicted the ordinary Ca
reer of home bred "Yankee." and concluded
with picture Of emigrant life that any who
has ever lived in sight ofths National Road will
recognize at once. 1t has the homely force and
truth of one of Gainsborough's landscapes:
Next Pennsylvania with two lusty bays,
And in the lead a span of fdappled greys.
With bear skin housings, bells with tnking
chine
Resembling much this lame and hating rhyme
Tho craft, yclept 1.-The Schooner of the Prairie,
High bow and stern, commodious and airy.
Is closely crowded with living cargo,
Seeking exemption from the old embargo
Imposed by wealth, caste AID social order.
In the wild freedom of the Western border.
The near horse bears the "m0yer" on his back,
Whose solace is the whips resounding crack
fearful flourish, but a scarce felt hit,
The single line still jerking on the bit;
A well known voice directs the docile cattle,
Proud as a monarch on the field of battle
He issues his commands, "Gee" "Haw" and
"Wh0ar'
ssCharley get up,' You, Tom" BE easy Joe.'
Slow forward goes the car of moving plunder,
The faithful watch dog meekly walking under.
Next comes cart drawn by single pony,
A nag of many points, all rather boney,
Whose haggard pace is quickcned on the road
By keen suggestions from the pointed goad;
The vehicle he draws with raw hide straps
Is filled with heads and other household traps.
Another pony, at the cart tail led,
Is half concealed beneath the family bed;
Or, in bask ct hung on either side,
The Youngest pair Of twins securely ride
And whence these, SO scent of worldly bounty,

When Mr.. Pierce assumed the reigns Of fGovern.

in the county, upon the issue Of peace and quiet
upon this subject so far as the National Govern

A New skeptsclsm.


The Ohio State journal declares in an
elaborate editorial that the Norwegian Mael-
strom, of which so much has been said and
written, is a myth-thatis to say; that there
is no such thing, place, nor Circumstance as
the Maelstrom; that all who give credit 10
the tale Of vast whirlpool which sucks in
ships and whales, and variety Of miscel-
laneous articles too numerous to mention,
are themselves a sucked-in community. The
Journal makes a religious application, to
wit that the Blue Laws of Connecticut were
never enacted.
What the Blue Laws have to do with the
Mselstrom, or the Maelstrom with the Blue
Laws, we neither know nor care; but we
should like to see the gentleman who could
prove that there is no such thing as the
Maelstrom. We have seen its portrait
q thousand times--some times with a
ship in its jaws, some times with
a whale, and will anybody have the
impudence to say that these are fictions2
There is no telling what such skepticism will
lead to. Bye-and-bye some learned Theban
will rise up and inform the world--in spite
of the plain testimony of Harper'S Pictorial
Bible, and a multitude of similar authorities
to the contrary-that the waters of the Red
Sea did not stand up like walls to let the
Children of Israel pass between, and did not
roll back on the wicked Egyptians, their
horses and carriages. He did not see it, for
sooth; and therefore it did not happen pre-
cisely the same argument by which the
Maelstrom is to be extinguished. AS to
the Blue Laws, we happen to have a copy
printed by authority, and can therefore
defy, thus far, the efforts of this modern
Iconoclastes. Vade retro Sathanul

The Napoleon Crusade.


The Protestant Missionaries in Syria evil
IDENTIFY feel that the cry for foreign interven-
tion has been overdone, and the dominance
which it win give the French is almost as
much 10 be deplored as the Druse excesses.
A letter, published in the New York EDdn-
geIisL from one of the missionaries at Hash
beiya, where the Protestants were reported
as having been generally massacred states
that the number killed was only ten, and
that they were now enjoying peace, and an
ticipated that their troubles would result in
much good, and they deprecated any foreign
Intervention which should impair the Turk
ish authority.
The fact seems to have forced itself upon
the public mind that the cry of agony which
was raised all over Christendom, when the
faction which began the war in Syria, suffered
what they would have inflicted, and the de-
mands which religious excitement made for
foreign Intervention, were vastly overdone,
and were partly trick in their origin,
which, if not instigated by the French, has
been seized upon by Louis Napoleon as a
trick to give his occupation of Syria the
pretext of a crusade in favor of humanity
and Christianity.
The genius which can first combine all
Western Europe to prevent Russian inter-
vention for the protection of the Syrian
Christians, and then can give French occu-
patton of Syria the sembance of religious
crusade, undertaken in obedience to the cry
of all European and American Christianity,
thus establishing French armed occupation
in a country which England has regarded as
vital to her commercial position to maintain
under the independent power of Turkey, is
certainly to be admired.
We have seen, recently, by the account of
a converted Brahmin, that all those affecting
stories which used to fill the school geog-
raphies, and the Sunday-school books, about
Hindoos casting themselves under the
wheels of the car of Juggernaut, and
Hindoo mothers throwing their children
to the crocodiles the pictures of which are
so deeply impressed on every piously trained
mind, were fabrications, made to draw the
youthful sympathies and cents from candy
and nuts, to send the Gospel to these heather.
Mr.. Gangooly, the converted Brahmin, has
demolished all this pious fraud by declaring
that such customs never existed, and that
the Hindoo religion is mild and peaceful and
especially abhors blood. Mr.. Gangooly has
destroyed picture which has done great
service in sending the Gospel to the Hindoo,
q thing which our own missionaries could
not afford to dispense with. The religious
community was sold" extensively by this
affecting story, but never was such whole
sale "sell' made of Christian sympathies, as
when Louis Napoleon turned them into the
sluice of his schemes of conquest.

A HUSBAND DESERTS HIS WIFE AND RoBs

A HUSBAND DESERTS HIS WIFE AND RoBs
HER OF $3,OOO.-The st. Louis Republican, of
late date, says:
One D. Chamberlain, merchant tailor,
was, some ten months ago, married to a
widow of property at Arrow Rock, Mo. He
pursued his aVocation steadily, deportei
himself well, and acquired the confidence of
his neighbors and the community in which
he dwelt. Early in September last, he ex-
pressed wish to visit st. Louis and pur-
chase stock of goods, and at length he pro-
cured from his wife, to whom O prudent
stipulation of the marriage had legally Sc
cured her property, the sum of $4,000, with
which to make the desired purchase. He
then left ostensibly for this city, having it
understood that he was to return within q
few days, on the following Saturday at
farthest. A week passed, and nothing was
heard of him. On the tenth day of his alb
sence, his wife received by express a single
and simple package, containing $50 bank
note. Not word of explanation accom-
panied it. 1t was postmarked at Alton, ILL.,,
and the handwriting of the address was
Chamberlain's. The detectives of this CITY
were then informed of the facts, and desired
to arrest the absconding husband, which
they have not yet succeeded in doing. The
woman thus remorselessly robbed, had ac-
cumulated the amount by her industry and
economy, and is now left almost without
means.

A STORM OF FEATHERs.-U Unique Amuse-
ment of Women.-In New York, on Friday
evening, the large crowd which had col
lected in front Of the Lafarge House, in
Broadway, to see the Prince of Wales, were
much disturbed at a downy shower which
descended among them at intervals. Broad
cloth and velvet, brocade and muslin, hats
and bonnets alike were sprinkled, no one
for long time knowing whence came the
feathery nuisance.
AT length attention was directed to GER
tain window in the fourth story of the hotel,
and an officer proceeding to the room indi-
Gated, there arrested two young men evil
IDENTIFY intoxicated, who had amused them
selves with tearing open the feather-beds in
one of the rooms and pelting the crowd below
with the contents creating an excitement
among the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies
desirous to make conquest of the Prince,
which is easier to imagine than to describe.
The clothing of the two men, covered from
head to foot with feathers and down, was as
grotesque as the costume of q South Sea
Islander. The two prisoners, as they were
escorted to the station-house, received more
attention and applause than the Baron him
self was favored with two hours afterward.
