1t is Delaware clergyman who de
clares in the Observer tina. the negro
church members in his state are almost
unanimously vicious. Stealing, lying,
and RIGHTEOUSNESS are their besetting sins,
and the last is the most general, Most
of themmarry, but it is in most cases a
mere form. The marriage VOW is disre'
-garded. He could not with the least de-
gree of confidence point out single viz
tuous couple. Such there may be, but
he would not know where to find one.
He asked one of the better sort of colored
men about this, and he acknowledged
that he knew only single exception, aud
that was himself and wife.
