RESPECTABLE JOHN BULL DISGUST.
ED WITH THE ABOLITIONIsTs.

AZ many OF our readers are doubtless aware,
there i Reverend Dr.. Cheeyer, who presides
over church on Union square in New York, who
mas made himself particularly conspicuous as a
bowling Abolitionist. This man breaches from his
pulpit, Sundays and week days, the EXTREMIST doc
frines OF the anti-savery fanatics; and he ia re-
garded as kind of clerical mouthpiece for the
Garrison, Wendell Philips and Fred. Douglas
clque-whch is composed of those who heap
curses upon the Constitution, desecrate the mem
ory Of Washington, and consign the people Of the
South to everlasting perdtion and the flames of
hell-all because they tolerate slavery, and DENY
the doctrine of the perfect equality of the negro
race. The rabdness of Cheever has lately passed
all bounds of deceney, and his ribaldry become 80
unpopular with the "sensation loyin9'' people
Of the Empire City that his pews were left empty,
and the means wherewith to meet his personal ex-
penses were lacking. In this strait he bethought
himself of foreign aid, and latterly he has been
travelling through England and Scotland, abusing
bis country and countrymen in lectures TO foreign
ers and taking up collections to maintain his
chnrch IN New YORK, On the ground that his pulpit
was doing wonders to break down the institution
Of slavery, and II raising up Tie down-trodden
African to position of freedom and happiness
The English and Scotch listened at his furious de-
nunciations of his own natal land with feelings of
gratified malice, and lberally launched out their
shillings to maintain DR.. Cheever in New York q
missionary, as they imagined, among the benighted
and slavery-fettered Americans!
An amusing incident has recently grown out or
these circumstances. An Englishman, described
as person Of wealth and rank, who had heard
Dr. cheever lecture IN Europe, and who had liber
any contributed to support his church in New
fork, recently had occasion to visit the latter city
on business. He was accompanied by his family
attached to which were several servants, among
whom was one negro footman On the Sunday
after his arrival this Englishman, who was very
deyout in his habits, desiring to attend church.
asked for DIR. Cheever's church, and was directed
to Union square. He chose that place of worship
because he did not desire to etamong proslavery
men. whom he had been led to believe predomina-
ted III all the other churches. On arriving at the
church, he entered il, accompanied by his wife and
family, and followed by his attendants. All took
the same pew, the negro footman with the others,
and calmly waited the opening of the services.
But 1t seems the visitation Of gentleman from
Africa, and his seating himself among the congre-
CATION dld not agree with the exclusive notions of
li'e iastiaous audience. 30 sexton politely in
formed Mr. Cufy that there were rese,ped seats for
people of his color in the galleries, and he could
not be permitted to remain on the same floor with
the whites At this, the Englishman spoke up, and
asked ''if that was not DIR. Cheever's church,"
HE was assured thatit was-but still it insisted
that the negro tootman should quit the pew and
pack himself into the gallery with the other
''colored folks" Whereupon John Bull got up INF
rage, and gathering his family about him. they
all left the church in body making some re-
