that conduct, such as this, on the part OF
their representatives, pours so much con-
tempt and odium on the American name,
that, before long, no white statesman will
be able to travel in Europe without ex-
posing himself to the perpetual humiliation
of being branded as slave-driver. If
sympathy for the negro win not in
duce the people of the North to over
throw the iniquitous government at Wash
ington, surely some regard for their own
self-respect, and for the reputation of their
country in the eyes of other nations, will
induce them to require change of rulers,
and also change of policy The people
of England do not and cannot understand
the odious prejudice against color, and |
believe nothing could more tend to dimin-
ish those friendly feelings, which, Heaven
grant they may always entertain towards
your county, than the manifestation of
such detestable prejudice in their midst
by those who are, or should be, appointed
to protect Americans of every color and
race.
If you have received these facts from
any other source, you will, of course, make
no use of this letter.

capitol at Washington, D. c. With the
particulars of the attempt we are perfect
ly conversant, but purpose to withhold the
names of the parties unless some further
attempt be made by them, when we shall
consider it religious duty to expose them.
The church itself is among the largest,
most intelligent, and respectable, being
comprised of families in the city of Wash
ington of standing and acknowledged re-
spectability. For years it has been the
settled conviction of the community, and
in fact in other places, that the congrega-
ton would never be contented until they
obtained white pastor. This is mis-
take. The fact is, few people in it de-
sire to have it so, and, to use the language
of one of the members when speaking up
on this subject, "tbeir aspirations areGtter
acJslte men," Unfortunately for the peo-
pie, out of the four elders three are with
the few clamorous members to have white
man over them. Hence the current re-
port
We make this statement to defend that
body of people from SO grave charge, as
they are not guilty of the crime. We
know whereof we affirm, for it is now
known from a recent meeting by the elders
for the purpose of insiduously foisting a
white man upon them that these three col
Ored traitors received such a rebuke from
the congregation that, did they possess the
sense of a green Irishman, they would re-
sign their Offices and go connect themselves
with some congregation of white people, to
be allowed place in the gallery by them
selves, like so many lepers.
In our next we shall proceed to give
some reasons why we should, as a class,
religiously see to it that we retain color
ed ministry, and hurl from every church
any among us holding Office who seek the
destruction Of a colored ministry.

MY LABOR.sAvING HUSBAND,

Some husbands are more plague than
profit, and make vastly more work thar
they do; but mine is one to brag about.
When was married-to my shame be it
spoken, had never made loaf of bread
or pie / had no idea of saving time or
saving work. But had husband who
had love enough to bear with my simplici-
ty, and not scold when the bread was burn
ed and the pie not fit to eat. Going into
the kitchen one morning, he saw me bak-
ing buckwheat cakes and greasing the
griddle with a piece of pork on the end Of
fork. He said nothing, but went into
the wood house, and soon returned with
smoothly-whittled stick, about six inches
long, through the split end of which he had
passed folded strip of white cloth, and
then wound it round the end and tied it
with bit of string So I had contriv-
ance which could be dipped in melted
grease, and put it smoothly over the grid
die.
One day he saw me securing knives
with piece of cloth. Dear me-" sa. he,
you will surely cut your fingers SO he
contrived machine by mailing broad
piece of cork to spool for a handle, sink
ing the nail into the cork so far that it
should not touch the knife. This lifts the
hand from the knife, and does not cramp
the fingers.
l used to call him occasionally to thwack
over the heavy mattrass and straw bed for
me. "What nuisance !" he exclaimed,
and so replaced them by spring mattrass
Of all the nice things for beds, this is the
best. 1t is always in place, requires no
shaking up, and it requires only three
minutes to replace the bedclothes, and the
bed is made. 1t always looks round and
inviting, and gently yields to the weight
of the sleeper.
He saw the dish-towels hanging heller
skelter around the kitchen stove, and
forthwith made the most convenient hang

take up no room, and is near the stove
Here the towels hang smoothly, and are
always in place.
fretted because my refrigerator had 10
shelves, and could not make room for ali
the meat, butter, and milk So he made
two racks, and fitted ventilating shelves
from one to the other. The shelves are
ventilated by being thickly bored with au-
CUR holes, and can be removed for scrub
bing.
He is troubled to see me sew, sew, and
stitch, and makes sewing-machines the con.
slant topic of conversation. lie reads to
me every advertisement and every letter
from women who praise them in the pa
pers. If he could make one, should be
in possession of one Immediately; but as
he cannot, I must wait till "the ship comes

that more husbands were like him. Per-

1eferreN Correspondence.
COLORED ELDERS
SEEKING WHITE PASTORS FOR COL ORED
CONGREGATIONS.
NUMBER TWO.

Itis to be understood, in treating upon
this subject, that we are not opposing the
piety, usefulness, or sincerity of white pas
tors. Such is not our intention. There
are many excellent men among them
men who are friends of our people, and
men who would do all in their power for
our civil and religious liberties. There is
not single Presbyterian or Congregation
al minister among US but know this, and
would most cheerfully acknowledge the
fact: and so far as our observation extends,
as a general thing, their services in behalf
Of our people are acknowledged and appre-
ciated. make the statement that those
traitors found in our churches, and particu-
larly in the latitude from which l write
these articles, may have no means by
which they can injure our people or barter
away by falsehood and Misrepresentation
our dearest interests.
We also call the attention of all who
may read these lines to the fact that we
re not SO much as proscriptive in our OBJ
ject, in the caption which we have chosen
as a text. We are not warning against
white pastors, but we do make war upon
colored elders in our churches who are
guilty of the attempt to foist upon colored
congregations white pastors. We protest
against them and their abettors, whether
white or black, either at the North or
South; and whilst we do most emphatical-
ly say to every white minister, however
friendly he may be to us, "Sir, we don't
intend that you shall be pastor over our
churches; nevertheless we respect and re-
gard you as friend, and viii willingly CO
operate with you in every good work and
word, and when our pulpits are vacant for
the want of colored pastors our people will
be happy to have you preach to them the
Gospel of Jesus at such stated times as our
elders or deacons may invite you"
These remarks have resulted from We
ry recent attempt made by the elders Of a
church to put Gnsiduously, too) a white
pastor over colored congregation in a
Presbyterian church not ten miles from the

had compassion on him, and went to him
and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil
and wine, and set him on his own beast,
and brought him to an inn, and took care
of him. And on the morrow, when he de-
parted, he took out two pence and gave
them to the host, and said unto him, Take
care of him, and whatsoever thou spendest
more, when | come again | will repay
thee"
Now, let us look, without prejudice, at
John Brown. AS he journeyed through
life, he came to place where he saw, with
his mental vision, four million of his fel-
low beings, who, as he thought, had fallen
among thieves, who had stripped them of
their raiment of human rights, and wound
ed them, leaving them more than half dead,
for he was told they had "no rights that
white men were bound to respect" And,
as he beheld them in this condition, he had
compassion on them, and set them on his
own beast, called the Declaration Of b,dc-
pendence, which he believed was sturdy
beast, and able to carry the whole human
family. So, being thus wounded, he en-
deavored to bring them to an inn, where
they might be taken care of; but instead
of giving the host two pence, he gave his
taco sons, and then cheerfully gave up his
own life for his colored "neighbors"

OUR TRENTON LETTER.

TRENTON Jan. {, 1851.
Mr.. EDlToR:-Our city was visited about
the lth ult. by man calling himself J..
b. Baker, who represented himself as an
exhorter in the A NJ Z. Church. He preach
ed in the evening, and afterward gave no
tice of his intention to open singing school
the next evening. Agreeable to notice,
some sixty or seventy persons convened,
and upwards of thirty of them gave him
the price of a months teaching, three shil-
lings each, in advance He also borrowed
a carpet bag and shawl from the family
with whom he boarded. The next morn
ing he started for Elizabeth, as he said,
for the purpose of opening school there,
promising to return the next week and
give them two lessons. The gentleman
has not been seen or heard of since.
The ladies of Mount Zion A NJ E.
Church held fair daring four days of the
holiday week, and have been told that
they realized handsome amount Ordin-
arily the people of Trenton are as highly
taxed for voluntary contributions for be-
nevolent purposes, as community can
be, and | think respond about as hand
somely.
The Trenton Debating Association held
their monthly lecture last Monday evening
at the public school house, BeIvidere St.
1t was well attended, and many expressed
themselves highly delighted with the exer-
cises of the evening. The question.
(Which is the best calculated to advance
our interests, Wealth or Education" was
discussed with much spirit on both
sides, and decision given in favor of the
party advocating education.
Our local press is still canvassing the
acts of the Southern States forthe suppress
sion of free speech and even free opinion
as far as they are able to ascertain it.
The most recent acts spoken of are the ex-
pulsion Of the Rev g. Fee, and part Of
his congregation, from Kentucky, the Gov.
ernor having refused protection to them
and the fogging, tarring and feathering O
a Mr.. Power in one of the Carolinas, ht
being true Democrat from Philadelphia
for daring to meddle with the institution
and with his masters (the leaders of the
Democratic party business, by saying tha
negroes should not be allowed the whit,

but should be confined to agriculture H
forgot that there is European principle
extant in the Southern States, that labo
is disgraceful and only fit for serfs ant

as a mechanic or otherwise, he is on leve

JOHN BROWN.

Mr.. DEMONSTRATIONS opinions have
been expressed upon the character Of John
Brown. Some call him felon, traitor, and
murderer, and say that hanging was too
good for him-that he ought to have been
twice hanged. Others, though they disap-
prove his mode of operation, and "by no
means Justify his conduct" attribute to him
good motives, and admire his heroic de-
portment-especially from the period of
his capture to his death on the gallows.
In this latter opinion / concur, and by
putting the most charitable construction on
his motives, think can trace in him some
resemblance to an individual mentioned in
scripture. The case referred to was stated
by our Savior, insreply to the question,
WHO is my neighbour" And, in order
to draw the parallel, permit me to give the
whole quotation: "a certain man went
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell
among thieves, who stripped him of his
raiment, and wounded him, and departed
leaving him half dead. And by chance
there came down certain priest that way
and when he saw him he passed by on the
other side. And likewise a Levite when
be was at the place came and looked upon
him, and passed by on the other side. But
certain Samaritan, as he ljourneyed, came
where he was; and when he saw him he
