BRO. CAMPBELL's SON IN THE SLAVE

have just learned that Alexander Campbell,

town of Wellsburgh. lie is said ~ DO q very wor-
thy, and industrious man, and of tho strictest in
tegtitv, but poor. do not know whether he Is a
Disciple or not. bu. my opinion is, that he is a
Methodist. The man who got the $1,000, l am
told is a PRESBYTERIAN. Mr.. Campbell is a mem
Der of the church at Bethany. Should my OPP
inion be correct, it affords some relief to the hor-
ror Of this case. The conspiratora did not ven
ture to put the irons upon their victim, where he
was known. but Rogers like, decoyed him to
Wheeling, where be was hand-cuffed, and shipped
for Louisiana. l don't know what Bro. Franklin
thinks of this way of "using up the Methodists, )"
but l am sure he will be glad that this poor man,
vas not q mem Der of the church either at Wells
burgh or Bethany. If the Disciples and Presby.
teriaus, will only confne their operations to hand
cutting, and shipping of the Methodists,lt will moi
seem so bad, but if they get to selling one another

We answer there are lines in unpopular reforms,
when resistance is not practical, though at other
times i, be right. Again. it is no, unfrequent that
more is accomplished for the cause Of righteous
ness ut large, by suffering, than BY physical res's-
lance. Had Sumner shot down Brooks; as the
latter approached him, The moral effect upon the
world for COED, would probably have been lost
By quietly suffering, tho indignation Of the world
was aroused against the perpetrators oil crime
God speedily cut off Brooks and Butler as he has
often done some Of those who have sssailed US.
Had we resisted successfully, the North would
have said, well done: now let others do the same,
and then let the slaves rise up and do likewise; let
the people Of the South fghtit out, it is none Of

REV. N WORTH.

EDITORS OF WEsLEYAN:--You published some
time since q short communication from Daniel
worth-my father, lying in Jail at. Greensboro,
North Carolina, on a charge Of speaking, and cir1
culating documents against Human Slavery. The
aforesaid article farther stated that, although con-
scious Of no crime against God or man, he was
taken by the good people Of North Carolina. tried;
with three lawyers against him. he pleaded his
own cause, and hurried to q iclon's cell, as a
person unf. to be left at liberty.
A bond Of $4,000 was required for good tehacio,j
by which was understood sealed lips on everything
uupalatable to a portion Of the Sputherners, a
bond which he refused to give. This man, born
on southern soil, having passed his youth and ear
ly manhood there, and having returned after a
lapse of near 40 years, with his wife, on the con.
fines of the grave, since gone to her eternal rest
this man l say, must be made a sacrifice on the
altar Of American Slavery. North Carolina, to.
day, Furnishes her citizens for asserting the doc
trines held by the founders Of this Republic, and
for practically carrying out the doctrines, of Chris.
tianity. Publish it to the world.
If liberty of speech and thought are to be anihi.
lated. let it be known to what agency we owe this
state Of things.
Daniel Worth is known very extensively at the
North. and especially in the Christian organiza-
ton to which he belongs. Let every W. M. Min
lister and every friend of liberty circulate petitions,
to our National Congress, praying that the rights
of our citizens be respected and protected, IN 9th

Let the voices Of thousands Of Northern freemen be
heard, demanding justice for their fellow citizens
Let the trial be made, that we may see what thu

THE SENTENCE OF STEPHENS AND HAZ-
LETT. THE HARPER's FERRY INsUR-

After the finding of the verdict in the case of
Hazlest. at Charlestown, on Saturday last, Lis
counsel filed a motion for arrest of Judgement
On Monday morning the Judge decided on the
several poiuts raised by tho counsel. and ordered
the prisoners to be brought into court for sentence,
The several questions we're propounded to each of
the prisoners, as to whether they had anything to
say why sentence of death should not he passed
upon them. Stephens in a firm and distinct voice
replied that che had, if it pleased the COURT
Hazlett also responded in the affirmative, although
III an ngitated manner.
Stephens continuing, said that although most Of
the testimony in his case was true, yet, 10 regard
to what had been stated by one or two of the wit
nesses, that he desired the damned town (Iar
2er's Ferry be burned ,as also the people," be de
olared most positively he had never made use o.
any such language, and called upon God and thu
Court to witness his declaration. Where he wa,
known this imputation would need no denial. Ill
had also to say that he had no fault to find either
with his treatment at the hands of the authorities
since a prisoner, nor with the proceedings on hi
trial, all bad been done for him that could reason
ably be expected-his counsel had done his ut
most, but he appealed to the Court, that as he hac
extended mercy to others, he thought be might ex
pect some degree Of mercy. But whatever nigh
be. be would meet it as become q man, unshrink
iugly.
Upon his concluding. Hazlett addressed tn
Court. He said he had q few words to say
The testimony given against him was false. on,
witness in particular was mistaken. He spoke o
the testimony in regard to his identify. and sal
that be had always been in the habit since he ba
a beard Of shaving it of every three weeks. ii
stated that since a prisoner be had been treate
most kindly; that his counsel Messrs Green an
Bolts, had done more for him than northern cour
sel could have done, and that since he had see
Virginia and her people, he had formed an entire
" different opinion on the whole subjec. OF SLAYER
to what lie had entertained previously. Hazlet
in the delivery Of his remarks, was considerabl
: ~agitated, which probably arose from the fact ths
he was unused to public speaking.
Judge Kenny then proceeded to pass sentenc
on the prisoners. which he did in the most feslin
and impressive terms. He sentenced each of ther
to be hung publicly on Friday. the 10th day G
March next, between the hours of 10 O'Clock A. NJ
and 2 o'clock P. M.
Immediately after passing sentence, the Cour
