TRIAL OF REV. DANIEL WORTH.

The Helper books were burned, and as the
term of court drew near, Daniel Worth was remo-
we'd from Greensboro to the Randolph County Jail,
in this town. The excitement in the vicinity was
very great. The officers of the court were urged
to brig along the trial with all possible speed.
The counsel for the defense declared that he was
lett no peace, during the earlier stages, so cons
tant and importunate were the inquiries.
The trial took place on Friday of last week.
The courtroom was closely filled with crowds of
spectators. Mr.. Worth appeared soon after 10
O'Clock. lie Is a man of imposing and dignifed
presence. He must have passed s~ixty-fve years,
and yet his frame is full of vigor, and the frmness
of his bearing is untouched by time. His great
hight, elk feet and four inches, adds vastly to the
impressiyeness of his mien. His manner was per-
lectly calm, and his countepance was quite I'M
troubled.
A good deal Of time-upward of two hours
was occupied in impannelling a jury. OF about
fifty who were examined, almost all had formed
and expressed opinions as to the guilt of the acous-
ed-opinions very slightly varying, it may be
presumed. OF the twelve who were at last selec-
ted, four we're Shareholders and eight non,slavehol-
ders. The Indictment, which was very long,
covering twenty pages, was largely occupied with
citations from Helpers book, and as such, ought
to have been regarded as an incendiary document
Of very dangerous character. Mr.. Scott, ono Of
the prosecuting attorneys. succeeded while read
ing it in moving the crowd Of spectators to many
mute demonstra tiohs of indignation toward the
prisoner. In his opening address, be invoked the
usual rhetorical resources on such occasions,
launching liberal supplies of vehement denuncia-
ton, and revelling in the widest extravagance of
ora,ory, Deluges Of blood, massacred bodies gen.
orally, bot particularly of wives and children,
badly cut throats and burning buildings were
wrought together into a picture of very CORY hue.
Mr.. Scott did it all well, and having done it, the
Government proceeded to call it's witnesses, eight
or ten in number. The taking of the evidence
was quickly accomplished. Four copies of "The
Impending Crisis" were produced, which, it was
proved, Mr.. Worth had sold to different parties,
who appeared. One of these testified that, on
learning of Worth's arrest, be had buried bis
copy somewhere, whence it had been ezhumed for
use on the trial. Another declared he bad hidden
bis in a hollow log in the woods. Another, nam
ed Sluder, assisted by his wife, deposed that he
witnessed a tale Of Helpers book by Mr.. Worth

might be q toleraDle question, OF which we should
tak' the negative. But the question whether the
Book furnishing our standard authority Of morals;
contains a warrant for n practice embodying in it
all the crimes known to infest earth and hell, is
in itself so ridiculous as to merit the contempt Of
all sensible men. We are provoked TO this re.
mark, by seeing in the gainesville Telegraph, a
pathological examination Of the Greek and Hebrew
roots rendered by tho term S%erutHt, etc, in the
Scriptures. We are always out of patience with
such discussions; and we take the short process Of
conclusion. If you have a doubt Of the probabilii
ty of authority for slavery in the Bible, throw il
to the doga at once. If you have no such doubt,
permit no man to depreciate the sacred book by
raising such a suspicion. Authority for slavery is
only to be found in writings originating in the
source OF evil.-AShtaJula Sentinel.

DR.. STEVENS ON sLAvEHoLDING.

Iu q recent issue of the c. A. G Journal, DR..
STEVENS thus explains the doctrine Of the NJ. L.
Church upon Slaveholding.
The doctrine of our Church on the great ques.
ton indicates sufficiently what its Legislation
should be. That doctrine is summarily as we
have often said, that slavery is "a great evil and
that its 'extirpation' should be sought by US as a
Church (aside from our political relations to it as
citizens) by certain endeayors within the scope OF
the laws of the Bible-that there may be %gui!tless
cases of slaveholding under given circumstances
that in such cases masters and slaves should be
admitted to tho Church and brought under evan
gelical discipline as the best means of relieving
and of finally curing the evil-that in such cases,
not merely our laws on slavery, but all our Gene
raj Rules (taking in the whole scope of Christian
duty are applicable to the member involved in
the evil, and that every one of these General
Rules, applicable to his position, should be appli-
ed as in any other case of responsibility. If be
is guilty of any violation Of these rules in his
treatment of his servant, he should he tried by
them and dealt with as any other offender should
be. This is Methodism, the Methodism,
of John Wesley and our fathsrs-it is also
the pure old Gospel the Gospel by which sla-
very was at last extinguished throughout the Ro.
mau empire. without violence, saving alike mos.
ter and servant. If it be said that such a POSITION
Of the master does not involve the real slavehol.
ding, so much the better then for the position Of
our Church, and so much the worse for those who
assail its position; for this is all the slavehold:ng
that Methodism recognizes or ever recognized.
Such q play upon words, however, is useless; eve.
ry body knows that the relation, thus qualified 10y
our discipline, is by common language and in the
views of the municipal law recognized as slave
holding, and as such is amenable to the local
laws
How DR.. STEVENS can, and many others Of our
NJ. Z. brethren, affirm that there may be ~guiltless
cases Of slaveholding under given circumstances
and that in such cases masters and slaves should
be brought into the Church. &c. and 50 positively
declare that this is the 'Methodism Of JOHN IVES

ZIONIST, who desires the adjustment Of slavery at
any, and eUery cost. The hope of the slave rests
chiefly in the young men Of The country, and up
on but few Of them, for scarcely does n youn :
man reach years Of maturity, if he processes any
abilities natural of acquired, but what has some
political aspirations, and commences his career in
the political arena, by voting The purely pro slavery
ticket, or the conservative one, and then busying
his brain to manufacture excuses and apologies,
to satisfy o disturbed conscience. The laboring
people who have hearts must free the slave. Pro
fessioual men, men of science, politicians, are ton

high sounding eulogies Of politicians, and the pi.

prominent men cease their perpetual barangues

a DIFFERENCE.

When tho advocates of foreign missions tell
the American people of the difficulties with which
their preachers have to contend. often circulating
the Bible and tracts in direct violation of law, and
declaring their doctrines at eminent personal risk.
a great amount of sympathy is poured out upon
them, and the treatment they receive is regarded
as conclusive evidence Of the darkness of heathen-
ism, and the necessity for its overthrow. The
fact that these beathen naturally cling to the faith
of their fathers, TO the doctrine they have been
taught to believe, and instinctiVely reject a relig-
ion whose avowed object is to overthrow their
temples and dethrOne their gods, is lost sight Of
such considerations are not taken into account
when the verdict is made up against them.
AT home, in our own land, we have Just had an
exhibition of american heathenism even more cru
ell and repulsiVe than is found in foreign heathen.
dom. The advocates of Christian missions have no
condemnation to utter concerning it, no sympathy
to spare for the one who suffers at the hand of
its power. Daniel Worth, a preacher of the Cos
pel-wOrth more than all the preachers Of the
American Board put together--is consigned TO a
Christian prison, in a Christian land, by p~rofessed
Christian men, because he preached the gospel of
Christianity, and circulated works designed to pro-
mitigate tho truth, without which none can be
made free, He is left to his captivity in Carolina.
The advocates of missions care not to look into
his prison, but with tears in their eyes they beg
OF his prosecutors to contribute funds to send the
gospel to the poor p%arishing heather of other
lands, and to make strong the hands of those who
are suffering abroad in the cause of truth.
Such is the character of miscalled American
Christianity, which, without its alias, is American
heathenism.
