Slavery and Trnth.

The institution of Slavery presents it
self to same minds in these two aspects.
Religious and Political. The former
more particularly concerns the Church
the latter the State.
Religiouslv viewed, it is not to be re-
garded as a Divine institution like the
Sacrament of the Lords Supper or the
Marriage Covenant, but as a providential
condition of society, recognized and regu-
lated by the Holy Scriptures, and as such
to be tolerated by Christian people where
it exists by law-always acting in strict
conformity to the inspired precepts con-
corning it. This is according to the
course pursued by Christ and his Apost-
les, and this is the view given by every
standard commentator of the Bibles.
Slavery, politically considered, is an
institution of our country which each
State had a perfect right to tolerate or re-
pudiate at pleasure. Any interference
in the matter on the part of one State or
section of the country towards another, is
a breach of covenant between the parties,
which every Christian patriot and every
citizen should deplore and rebuke.
If the principles contained in these two
propositions had been duly regarded, who
believes this nation would be involved in
such a terrible conflict?

SECRETARY CHASE.

The country was somewhat startled a
few days since by the announcement of
the resignation of Secretary Chase
There are a great many speoulations as to
the cause of it. His friends claim that
it was on account of a difficulty in regard
to some appointments between himself
and LINCOLN. The more general opinion
is, that he had succeeded by his system
of finance in getting the country into
such a shape that a crash is soon inevita.
BILE, and to avoid some of the responsible.
ity the Secretary resigned AMI left it upon
other shoulders.
His Majesty, ABRAHAM l., immediate.
~ rent the name of DAVID TOP, as his
successor, to the Senate. The Senate af,
ter a stormy session refused to confirm
him. Thereupon DAVID declined the
place he couldn't get.
ABRAHAM then appointed FEssENDEN:

the place. It would be a God-send tc
the country if the whole pack of scoun.
drels would resign or die and let theil
places be filled by honest men.

L. JEFF. SpRENaLE, the thieving Boun.
ty cuss, and traitor editor of the Ashland
Times, still continues to have periodical
attacks of Niger on the brain. The
sight of the Union appears to aggravate
the disease. lie quotes abundantly from
our article of last week on the coming
call for SOC, 200 more, and in an infatua-
ted exclamation, wants to know how the
soldiers who have fought for three years,
must love the men, who tell them they
have fought and fallen in an "ung0dy
pursuit." In the first place, JEFF. is the
bluntest rebel we ever saw, and in the Sc
cond place he knows that fact as well as
we do, or any body else. He is blunt be-
cause he can't understand plain English,
and fails to get the point in our article
He has got just sense enough to suppose
that by disjOinting our sentences, and
putting false constructions upon them, he
can get soldiers to think that we are their
worst enemies, and by SO doing incite
them if possible to mobocracy on Demo-
cratic presses, which would be the acme
of the bloody whelp's ambition. That
rule won't work, friend JEFF, and if it
does it will work both ways.
With a good deal of propriety We might
ask here what soldiers would think of q
man who had been engaged in the bounty
business, and who had by his roguery
succeeded in cheating and defrauding
the soldiers of Ashland county out of the
greater part of the bounty, justly due
them. 1t does not come with a good
grace for JEFF. to assume to be the friend
of the soldier, when already he has shown
that he would rob them of the little pit
tsnce they got for fighting rebels who
have souls twice as generous as his, and
whose loyalty compares with his in about
the same proportion of gold to green
backs. We would advise the bounty edi-
tor to keep cool hereafter, and if he can
do no better, swat for something to turn
up" or We shall be compelled to state a
few facts about his bounty operations,
which will lay his feathers on the soldiers
friend question, and also on the question
of his integrity.

There is a dirty little, lying paper pub
lishedin Mansfield, Ohio, called the Mans
field Herald. Its Editor everybody knows
is an ignoramus. His numerous lies have
established his reputation for pl efficiency
in hat direction. If he had moro sense
he would be a greater liar, and then he
might aspire to the place of q %tbieying,
Shoddy Contractor, where his other pro-
pensity might have full play. But we
propose to refer in this mainly to the ig-
norance of this ex-quack doctor.
1t seems he has been receiving some
communications from correspondents and
by reason of being unable to read writing
he undertakes to dispose of them in
the following

proper names affixed; but also such who

imagine that Mr.. Editor "has little else
to do, but to correct bad grammar" We
think that after such an effort several cor
respondents will want him to correct bad
grammar. He is certainly a proper man
to publish a paper which may find its way
into the hands of young persons and from
which they may take their first lessons.

First Rate Notice of LincOIn's
denomination.

The following is a specimen of the way
the honest and independent press notices
the nomination of Lincoln by the Office
holders and contractors at Baltimore
The New York Daily News says.
"No one is surprised at the renomina-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln to the Presidency by
the Baltimore Convention. Disgusting
as it may be, it was as inevitable as that
the sun will breed maggots in a dead dog.
Mr.. Lincoln, in effect, has renominated
himself. The Baltimore Convention was
but the engine he constructed aud used
to give publicity to the fact. The sublime
impudence of the man in thus thrusting
himself for reelection before a people
that utterly abhor and despise him, is in
strict accordance with his character and
antecedents. Elevated to the Presidency
by a political accident, he proposes now
to retain his seat by corruption and vio-
lence. If the people, after their express
sion, permit it, they will deserve to be
ruled by him."
The, New York Worzd says:
"But Mr.. Lincoln and Mr.. johnson
are both men of mediocre talents, neg
lected education, narrow views, defciept
information, aud coarse, vulgar manners"
