coutrary to the highest interests Of al

the spirit Of the Christian religion,
AMI incompatible with tie nat
ural rights Of man These words, earn
est and explicit as they are, have double
value, proceeding as State, who compre-
hends, bY actual observation, the evils
and the wiekedness of Slavery Here IS
a preacher who knows quite as much Of
the Bible argument for Slavery as any
Nothern Doctorof Div nifty. Here is a
man who could talk with a certain degree
of authority about the cursed eOuditiOn
Of Canaan. Here is a man who has some
temptation TO tuml e into a slough Of di-
alecties. Instead of doing so, he says
plainly-Slavery is wieked--is contrary
to the spirit of Christianity-ineOmpa
bic with the natural rights Of man. Con-
trast this with the suffering, apOlogetie,
shutting aud radically false utterauces Of
slme slave, whose relatives never owned
slaves, whose church member never own
ed slaves; who Is yet so in love with the
system of Human Bondage, that he
breaches long sermons In It's defense, puts
out thick books with the same purpose,
rubs up his Hebrew, if he ever had en-
ough to bear rubbing up, and makes wild
guesses at the meaning Of Greek words in
the same desperate enterprise Of cOur.e,
the tiue is coming, and will soon be here,
when he will be thoroughly ashamed Of
himself!
The evils which such men have infict-
ed npon this country, by their efforts to
prove Slave holding to be a religious du
ty, are incaIcuIabIe because multitudes
have been content to think th II thoughts
at second hand, and 10 fill themselves
with the dry husks Of Judical theology.
But we appear TO be on growing the
aneients. We are finding out that this
same Slavery has political as well as NOR
al aspects; aud that to US, in this our ter
rible struggle with the incubus of belat-
ed lcudality it reilly does not make any
essential difference whether Slaves were
held in Athens or Rome or Jerusalem, OF
not If we are not wiser than all the past,
then our Constitution is mere farce, our
boasting only empty babble, and our civ
ilization a snare and a de!usionI Some men
ofProdigious,n not to say asinine, Obstinacy,
will be persuaded and it is not impOss-
ible that they may die in the belief that
a society without Slavery is under the
special ban and curse Of our Creator But
the weight of public opinion must be the
other way. Before many years this crime
agai1st nature viii come to be recognized
as a crime pure and simple. Our chief
business now should be to consider it as
a fightful -blUnder. The world is hardly
good eaOugh to make away with it be-
ciuse it is 'eontary to the spirit of the
Christian religion but perh ps even an
u7rogenerate world may lie taught to con
slider it as CONTRARY to the highest inter

Cynthiana, st daylight yesterday morn

completely routed him, killed 300,wound-
cd nearly as many, and capturing nearly
400, besides recapturing nearly 100 OF
General Hobson's command, aud over a

ACOpperhead Slander Reruted.

D
The Louisville Journal, the negro
worpishing organ in Kentucky sqys: II
is stated upon high Republican authority
that there are now one hundred and Fifty
thousand blacks in the service Of the
United States, and we all know that the
number is daily and rapidly increasing. If
any one were to ask what these one hun
drei and fifty thousand blacks have done
as an Offset to the tremendous addition
which their enrolment, their Federal uni
forms, their arms and equipments, their
transportation, their bounties, their wages,
andtheir subsistence, have made to the ez-
penditures Of the Government, an answer
might be difhcult. The fact is, they have
done no manner Of good, but, on the con
trary,.a world Of harm.

ment:
We have seen some conjectures in;
various quarters to the effect that
Mr.. Corwin, our present esteemed
minister to Mexico, was favorable to
the success of imperial government
in that country. We have Cow Cor
wins's authority for saying that he
never entertained nor expressed an
opinion favorable to the principle
Of forcible foreign Intervention in
Mexico. He has thought, and has
so expressed himself often, that Maxi-
milan, or any other power to which
the Mexican people would submit,
who could give them good and stable
government and restore domestic
tranquility, would be a great bene-
factor to Mexico. His official posi-
ton and that Of his government has
been and is one of perfect neutrality
between the coQtending powers IL
