leyan Methodist Connection Of America, at its
last annual gathering:
On SLAVERY.
Resolred LIST, That Slavery is a systematixed
combination of murder, robbery, theft, adultery,
and piracy, and prepares the way for all the
sins in the catalogue of crimes and is the most
stupendous work of the Devil, the author of
sin.
Cd, That to fellowship the STAKEHOLDER or his
apologist as a Christian, is practical repudia.
ton Of our holy Christianity, an exhibition Of a
want of faith in Jesus Christ, and is the evi.
dence of Atheism in its most malignant form.
On TEMPERANCE.
| RESOLVED. LIST, That the distiller and tho re-.
taller of spirituous liquors are murderers Of the
blacklist character, and that the dstillery is, in
the figurative language of another, the breath
ing hole of He'll, and from it issues the streams
of death and damnation.
I'd, That to sell wood, grain, or any other
produce to the distillery. is not only violation
of Christian principle, but ought to subject the
transgressor to expulsion from the Church OF
God.
Resolved LIST, That it is shame'and a re.
proach to the American people that forty mil
lions of dollars should annually be thrown away
in the cultivation and consumption of Tobacco.
Cd, That we will labor not only to prevent

among men.

Further 1nsureecion Movements.

On our fourth page this week will be found an
account of insurrectionary excitements in several
Southern States in addition to later news from the
State of.Texas. There seems to be unusual vigi-
lance elsewhere, and it may not out of place that
we utter word Of timely precaution to our citi-
zens. We anticipate nothing of the sort, neither
have we any grounds for suspicion; but if other
communities, hitherto in the enjoyment of peace
and quiet, have been lately disturbed, does it not
argue chat we equally liable to the torch of the
incendary, melted to his work by abolition emissa-
ries At any rate an increased vigilance on our
part will do no harm, and may perhaps avert diff
culties similar to those in other communities In
these troublous times, we cannot be too careful of
the interests all have at stake.

NaH Cotton Gin.

Mr.. JOHN WILSON of this place, has completed o
Gin suited to the picking of the Sea Island or long
staple cotton. speedy process of ginning this
cotton has been desideratum by the growers of
it. and has prevented its cultivation to any consid
erable extent. Those in our community most COM
petent to judge, pronounce Mr.. WILSON'S Gin far
preferable to any now in use. Some of the most
ingenious minds in Yankeedom have labored to in
invent that which Mr.. WILSON'S genius has ac
complshed. However much our country may be
reproached for its Yant of scientific and mcchani-
cal knowledge, it should be a reason for exutation
that we have one man among who is pre-emi
nently entitled to the distinction of scientific
mechanic.
1t is much to be regretted that we have not
many more such men in our country. 1t is not
for want of native genius that she has them not,
but for want of encouragement to persons en-
gagged in mechanical pursuits. The workmen who
I'LL this world with comfort, power and beauty,
not honored and appreciated as they should be.
The time has come when the full perception of
this truth should impress society with new form
of economic polity Mechanical pursuits should re-
cendant in the distribution Of personal vocations
then the prejudice that has hitherto fostercd the
pride of professional pre-eminence will cease To
exist The triumphs of the bar and the medical
theatre have many votarics to the professions;
but we know of no triumph of genius gathered in
these fields that lay as high claims to usefulness
and dignity as those achieved in the mechanical
art. The highest glories of jurisprudence and
physic challenge no renown above the glories of
the steam engine, the cotton mill and the telc-
graph.
Whilst society recognizes these opinions, a cor
responding duty presses upon the mechanical por-
ton, of the community. The first demand is cul-
tivation. They should thoroughly ground them
selves in the principles of mechanics. They
should study natural science, and should not only
be able to perform the work of the artisan, but to
explain and apply the principles that govern in
mechanics. We want tine men whe can convert
the secret forces of nature into the working forces
of practical mechanism, and with these subdue
want, ignorance and vice.

Hon. Robert Toombs.

We have observed notice for some days posted
in our village that this gentleman will deliver a
speech at Hartwell Ca, on Thursday of this week,
upon politics generally, and in favor of Brecken-
ridge and Lane. Were it not for religious meet
ings beginning in our District that day and the
military reviews We feel confident that large num-
bers OF our citizens would attend, but the occa-
sions mentioned will prevent them gratifying a
strong desire to hear one of Georgas best orators.

Privileges Of Labor.

The first duty imposed on man in relation to So
ciety is labor. duty, the origin and benefit OF
which are easily discovered. Man is sent into the
world naked, unprotected and unprovided for. de
does not. like the brutcs, find his skin clothed
with a sufficient covering. but must provide gar
ments for himself He does not, like the OK, find
his nourishmcnt under his feet, but must hunt OF
cultivate the ground. To capacitatc him for the
performance of these necessary duties, lie has re-
ceiyed body fitted for labor, and mind calcula-
ted to direct his exertons, while the external
world has been created with the wisest adaptation
to his constitution, having the material for every
necessary work and elegancy he can imagine OF
desire, or create by labor.
No man has 4 right to live that docs not earn
his living. The Scripture tells us 'if ye work not
neither shall ye eat" No class is exempted and
for this is mans body alone suited; he cannot de-
fly the doom without heavy punishment. If he
need not earn his bread HIMSELF he Mnst substi-
tutc laboYious pleasures: he must work harder
than ploughman under the name of hunting, or
he must wall; up and down the same street. play
ut billiards. bowling or cards. If he does none OF
things, or similar, he must grow fat, have ndgcs-
tion and consult doctors, with the vain hope OF
battling Nature with impunity for some time long
er; and after few years of uneasy feelings, 1t IS
found that his heart is diseased, his liver dried up
he becomes dropsical, loses the use of one half OF
his body, or become melancholy and suspicious OF
his best friends, by some such winding up he
arrives Mt the last scene that ends his common
place, eventlcss history.
No product of the field or the sea- however aided
by inventive art, will furnish welcome repast to
one who sits in lislcss idleness. 1t is by labor
man comprchends the existence of Deity, and the
beauty and utility of his works-to adorn the
earth, and bring forth its productive power, an'!
to expand the human mind and body
Every person in society should produce physical
ly or mentally, as much for society as he requires
to receive from society for its full enjoyment.

ing useless to his fellow creatures The man who
earns not his bread, but cats that of idlcncss, is

HOPE.

Hope. Heaven born upon thy pinions we soar
with electric speed, TO hover well pleased around
the throne of God; Thou art the Christians an
chor, his cable-his ladder which reaches unto
Heaven, thereby giving him opportunity to
foretase the joys and felicitics in waiting for the
finally faithful
Hope-it opens to the enraptured gaze the gori-
GUS magniicence Of Heaven, and raises the veil
which ordinarily screens the holy of holies from
view, and prest-like, steps unawed, unbewidered
and unbedazzled by the Sbekinah which illumi-
mates the sdnctum of the Godhead. 1t is o twink
lingly bright effulgent star which as unerl,ingly
indicates haven of eternal rest, did the star III
the East, indicate to the wise men that III the
place overwhich it WIS lowering, there the Babe of
the world could be found. Assured by hope, the
Christian struggles on in his warfare with tempt
ing and unfriendly world, patiently enduring all
things, for that he knows ere long he will triumph
over oil opposition, and realize the brightest
of the bright visions that open to his mental view.
Hope also ner7es the warriors arm, and leads
him on to deeds of valor, glory and rcnown. 1t
was this which lighted the heroes of '7G in the
darkest days of the revolution, while they were
struggling for the independence we now enjoy.
In those days. so trying to the souls of men, hope
invigorated every truly loyal coonist's arm, and
surrounded him with halo of glory unequaled by
any that ever encircled kingly brow.
1t was under the soul-inspirng influence of this
heavern-born principle that the illustrious Henry
was enabled to prophesy correctly that tho next
breeze from the North would bring to virginians
the clash of rcsounding arms and to exclairn with
moral intrepidity truly sublime, ''Give me libcr-
'ty or give me death.'
The same principle inspired the mind and the
pen of jefferson while writing the great truths,
immortal as Immortality ITSELF contained in the
Declaration of Independence.
Inspired by this principle, the sage compeers of
the Continental Congress sat in council, devising
means for the prosecution of the revolutionary
war.
Hope gave us our country by inspiring Colum-
bus-it gave us freedom from tyranny by nerving
the arms and hearts of our ancestors-it gave us
our Constitution, and the free institutions under
which we live-all of which have been transmitted
to us with the solemn injunction that they are
ours to enjoy and maintain, and to transmit unim-
paired to future generations. Will We do it? In
the present crisis, how can we? / answer by
looking on the bright side which hope always pre-
sents, and if the dark side should turn up, by
trying to make that bright also. This we should
do in religion, morals and politics, as well as in
every relation or condition of life We should try
to make all things bright by hope, and if we can
not, then we should still hope for the best, and ev-
er be prepared for the worst. SYDNEY.
