to repel northern interference,
still we firmly and conscientious
ly believe that slavery is, and al
ways has been, a curse, rather
than blessing, to western Va.
Slaves are unquestionably bet
ter off than free negroes, but
the people Of this section Of the
State would rejoice if there was
neither a free negro nor a slave
in the country. We love our
native. State, and hope ever to
be found willing to protect and
defend her rights, but we will
ever boldly contend for the IL
berty Of the press. We hope
never to utter a sentiment con-
trary to the laws Of the land;-
beyond that, we scorn the gag
law sentiments OF quack politiz
clans. Give them all they ask,
and a dissolution Of the Union
would follow as certainly as thai
night follows day.: I:
Down with northern aboli.
tionism and southern disunion-
ifm, and three times three
cheers for our glorious Union.

, VminVuss-<lfnliSt a discussion
was going on in the Court
House, on Monday last, upon
the 9th resolution, offered by
the Committee, a constable
arrested the Rev. Mr.. Greene,
OF the Northern Methodist
church, for having uttered sed
ltious sentiments. He was tried
before Justice Estill,required to
give bail and sent on for fnrthe
trial Kq!nd'eha Halley Star
:: The following is the resolu-
ton alluded to above:
s. That we will not tolerate
in any one, but especially in
teachers and preachers, the Ut
terance and dissemination in
our midst Of seditious or trea-
sonable sentiments.
Rev. Philip Greene is the old
est travelling preacher now be-
longing to the N. w. Va. Con-
ference. He commenced the
ministry in early life, in this
country, and for about fifty years
we believe, has been preaching
the gospel, tratelling over the
hills and vallies OF western Va.
We know him personally, and
have no hesitency in pronounce
ing him an honorable, upright
gentleman, and a law abiding
citizen. The discussion Of the
resolution, we suppose, brought
forth some hard things against
the ministry, and especially, a.
saInst Methodist Preachers,
which aroused the old father in
Israel to some unguardcd ex-
prcsslons, and he was arrested.
Has it come 10 this, that dis
unlonists, in the South, may
curse the Union, and 90 unre-
buked, while a venerable old
man is arrested for an intemper-
ale remark made on the street
while an exciting discussion is
going on in the court-house,-i
IS it really true, as our enemies
tell us, that the South is afraid
oil the light? Have we in the
South forgotten the sentiment
we believe, by the i'm
mortal Tom. Jcaerson,-"thati ,
error is never dangerous when
truth ls left free to combat III"

diabolical crusade, commenced, |

the publication Of President b.

a whole,it may justly be esteem>
ed an able State paper. = Very
true, he says some things which
we do not" subscribe to; but
these are all lost sight of in the
noble and firm stand he takes
on the slavery question. On
this subject, he breathes a patri-
otto sentiment throughout.
