rules Of the House be suspendedso that this bill
might be Immediately upon ts passage. He
stated that without the passage Of such bill, the
Governor had no authority to incur the expense
OF sending agents, &c, As ths time for election

be taken.
Mr.. Rounds of Chester, desired to have an ex
paInaton OF The reason why these agents and in
speolors should be appointed at all 80 far as he
could understand it the bill proposed to incur an
expense that was needess. He wished to know
the probable expense Of sending such agents as
proposed.
Mr. Stewart explained the desirsbiiiy or
necessity Of having the inspectors appointed as
proposed and estimated the expense at fifteen
hundred dollars
Mr. Rounds thought the act Of las, session
made all needf1l arrangement for so diers voting,
and the appointment Of additional officers was
wholly unnecessary.

would prevent also the destruction of liberty of
conscience for as no government is infallible, a
nation may at any time engage in a war which
many just men cannot conscientiously approve
of or assist in prosecuting. And il has never
yet been found possible 10 bring the opinions Of
all honest men to an agreement with reference to
wars or political theories.
If conscription is retained st all. II should be
with this modification, filming delinquents in pro-
portion to their property; for besides the in
equality of claiming the same amount of person
al service from the poor and the rich, and the
destruction OF liberty of conscience by fore
ing men absolutely into the military service If
provision whatever was made in a conscrip-
ton law, allowing any equivalent for personal
service, this would prove one of the very strong
est inducements to bribery on the part Of MANY
wealthy persons accustomed TO a life of ease or
unfit to endure hardships, in order TO avoid
being drafted or 10 purchase commissions. As
TO the proposed plan of repeating the three hun
dred exemption clause in the present CONSUMPTION
law, this would render the provisions of the law
much more aristocratic than they now arc; for
the wealthy would still employ substitutes, while
that class OF poor men who might be able TO pay
three hundred dollars, but unable to paw a larger
sum for substitutes, would then be forced into
the ranks without any alternative
Whatever may be their pretended object, the
real design of eonscriptions is nearly always
either TO force poor men into the ranks flor rich
men scarcely ever enter the ranks, CONSUMPTION
law or no conscription law,) or TO persecute or
destroy honest men whose cOnsciences do not
approve of the war in which nation NAV at the
time be engaged.
A FRIEND OF LIBERTY
Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1864-01-04

We publish in this number two able essays upon
the subject Of slavery by one who mostf fully COM
pretended it alike in its moral political and So
eiai behring's. The essay was written by Bishop
ENGLAND. Of Charleston, in 1910, one of the most
gifted and purest preaies ofthe Catholic Church.
The views he expresses are in direct variance
with the sentimental philanthropy and infdelity
OF New England abolitionists, whose doctrines
are in direcE eon1ct with the teachings and prin-
cipies Of Christianity. Bishop ENGLAND
successfully combats the dogma that slavery
Is sinful. and when this UNDERMINING of the
abolition argument is knocked away. the whole
suprrstructure falls. The war was nstisated by
abolitionism, it Is prolonged by the same cause
and il will be procrastinated so long as it inAu
ences the councils Of the nation. Ii our free in
situations are overthrow and military despo-
tism IS substituted. this work may bejustIy at
tribuled to aboItioDism. The people need just
such arguments as are presented by Bishop Eng
LAND to enlishten them upon the controversy in
regard to slavery, and we believe the only hope
for restoring aud perpetuating the best govern
Deat to world saw, is in the public mind
being disaoussd of fanatcaI abolition teachings.
For that purpose publish the essay Of Bishop
ExeLAsD, and trust il will receive the cousidera-
ton il so justly merits
There rs one fact IN connection with the history
Of the African race which completely demolishes
all the dogmas of ab0lirionism- With the same
means Of Improvement the negro on his native
soil 50 far the recorls Of the enlighteu us
the same now as be was in the beginning and the
race never emerged from barbaFism until il came
in contact with the white. II there is anything
IN Providence or nature-in either the higher or
lower law-ths truth have stated is the best
demonstration that the Maker of rs all intended
the white TO be the superior aid dominant race
and the ommingiing Of blood the experience
Of all will attest. dsbases the physical nature Of
both, TT does not also morally and Intellectual
~ The muiatto IS short lived. And All the
teachings Of history, both sacred and profane.
