Rev n s. Na;her Of the West WesecnsD Colierence Of

Mrs. NJ. was born 10 West Burton, York
shire, England, in 1922. Her parents
were both members &C the WesIeyans. At
tile carly ago Of eleven she sought accept
anee with God and united with the Church /;
her life from that period to her death has
been an even, steady, uniform life Of piety.
She was not led away for one moment by
any Of thenumerous temptations common
to youth. but from youth up her delight has
been in the law OF the Lord. In 1852 she
was married to her now oereaved husband
to whom she has been faithful compan-
ion, safe counsellor aud willing laborer in
the Masters vineyard. TO whatever field
of labor they were appointed she was never
heard TO lnirlnar or complain. but cheer
fully went to to-. and suffer if need be; in
every place she was greatly beloved By the
people Enemies she bad none, but all re-
garded her as Christian 10 whom there
was no guile. Her last sickness was short
her death unexpected by all. When
told by the physician she must die, she was
calm and unmoyed, renarking swell, i is
only what We must all come to." 0ne

small children, but before they could be
brought into her presence her spirit had

The Catholic CIluch has ever been The
friend Of human freedom. 1t was Christ's
mission to set men free, and christian peo-
pie disregard bis precepts and example,
when they seek to uphold and perpetuate
involuntary humcn servitute. Applause. !
Cardinal Wiseman, whom he regarded
as possessing the Hottest intellectual endow-
ments, aud loany of the distinguished Cath
olic lagnates of Europe, looked upon the
slavery Of any race With the strongest dis
favor. Montalambert bad stood before an
audience of great Catholics, aud declared
that man who holds human beings, black
or white, in bondage, was the enemy Of
freedom, and q tyrant at heart. The de-
nunciation was received with unanimous
plaudits; not one of that distinguished
Catholic assembly, but responded with I'M
disguised approval. Applause.
He concluded by saying that he hoped,
now hat the excitement was over, that his
ftiesds would concede that he had perform
ed bis PLAIN duty. lie had conceived the
course he had adopted to be such, and fear
lessly he had pursued it. No man could
do less and he sincere; no man could do
less AID follow the dictates of bis conscience
if he hopes to win the approval of his
Heavenly Master and Guide.
The Archbishop Immediately retired from
the stage, followed by loud and prolonged
applause. His remarks occupied less than
an hour in delivery, and as might be ex-
pected, created a profound impression, not
only from the sentiments expressed, but
from the candid and unstudied manner in
which they were made public.

Tic Proclamation.

The Emancipation Proclamation win unite
the Southern people forever in their rebellion
and divide tho people Of the North as to the
further prosecution Of the war--it converts
the war from a constitutional contest for tho
integrity of the Union to an unconstitutional
crusade for the liberation Of three millions of
negro harbarians and their cnfran chisoment
as citizeus-it destroys the last hope Of the
preservation of tho old Government and in.
augurates future dark, uncertain aud dreary,
it is as unwarranted in military as it is in civil
law, against the purposcsos of which the hu.
manity Of Christendom will protest, and to
averts the consequences of which Europe an
powers will probably interfere. In it tho era
zicst Abolitionism has achieved the acme
of its designs. The end tor which A boliion.
lists desired a war, the separation of the Union {,
an armed anti-s'avcry crusade has been
reached. 1t will be known in all history as
the most wicked, attrocious aud revolving
deeds recorded ih the annals of cviliz ttion,
and it will make the name of BENEDICT Ar
NoLD honorable in comp arison with that OF

"Thc liberation of the slaves is the dcstruc,
ton OF property property acquired by dc.
scent or purchase, the same as any other prop
crty. 1t is no less true for having often been
said that the people of the South are no moro
responsible for the original introduction OF
this property than are the people OF the North;
and when it is remembered how unhestatingly
we usC--all Of us use cotton and sugar, and
share the profits in dealing in thsm, may not
be sale to say that the South has been more
responsible than the North for its cOutinu.

Tho above quoted considerations renders
the injustice Of tho Proclamation apparent
to every person.
With what Justice can the owner OF this
property he required to bear the whole burden
of the nation. Some two hundred and fifty
thousand men, ont of the six millions in the
Southern States, are selected for ruin. They
arc no more deeply implicated in guilt than
other rebels. If it is urged that slavery, be
ing tho cause of the war, must bo destroyed
We have seen that the North is as much rcspon

Why Lincoln signed the West

7th inst, gives LINcoLN's reasons for signing
the West Virginia Bill. as follows
First, 1t was a correct policy for the Ad-
to secure as much free territory
as possible. and with as little trouble.
Second, That as theWhcclng Legislature
had been recognized by Congress as tho Leg.
islature OF the State Of Virginia. that body
had tho authority to adopt measures looking
0 the division of the State. That the rcsp0n
biiity did not lie with those who did not
vote against them, viz: the inhabitants of the
Eastern section Of the State.
Third. And the principle that he was bound
to taco dare Of his friends
The opinions of the President were in wr-
ting, and were read in the Cabinet mccting.-
Aall the Cabinet were opposed to the meas

He signed the bill against the protest o
half his Cabinet. 1t will be seen he has drop.
