A new and stronger tide Of emigration is
setting towards this country from Europe
than ever before. Crowds Of German vine
growers and farmers arc leaving Bremen,
Germany, all bound for Missouri. Some
three hundred have already reached $. Louis.
They arc emigrants Of the best class, and will
increase the fee labor force by which slavery
is 20 be driven out of that fertile state. The
emigration from ireland to this country is al
go still large and increasing. The Cork Re
porter says that this new exodus does not
arise from any increase of poverty, or dissat-
isfacton with the government, but is entirely
the result of a better knowledge of America,
and tho increased facilities of travel. The
Irish do not now start for America on an un-
certain adventure, but generally know to
what point they are bound, how TO get there
and what employment awaits them. The
brovity Of the Atlantic voyage by steamer
and the thorough system and cheap second
class fares of the American railroads make the
journey much more economical in time and
money than in former years, and the Irish
man now packs up and starts for America
with as little anxiety ms the New Engander
prepares for trip to the far West.

Fairehiid'S resolution was then Withdrawn and
the following offered hy Heron:


l. Resolved, That slavery which is the holding
of unofendrg human beings as property, subject
to be bought aud soll is gross violation Of the
rights Of man, and ,hc law Of God.


Messrs. Lynch and Mitchell oppose the subst;-
tute, but it was passed over their heads. They
held with Fairchlli that man might hold a slave
and be a christian but only in desperate cases,
and where he he'd the slave temporarily, and for
the purpose Of giving him liberty. Benz Jones
denied that man could hold slave and be
christian. The slave is one who is in the power of
the master to whom he belongs l deny before
God that there can be any exceptions. Who is to
judge where slave is held from motives of ben
evOence? These exceptions do more to strength
en- the slave system than all the Lcgreos in the
lard.

THE RESOLUTIONS


The resolutions passed are not the same as pub
lished in the official proceedings The first roso-
! luton as drawn up by the committee and passed,
contained the higher law doctrine, which by some
legerdemain was afterwards expunged, They con-
tain good Republican doctrine and would be vast
ly more proper in club room than church, and
are the emanatons rather of stump speakers than
of christian preachers. They breathe disunion,
and war on tho southern section of our country.
They are false in premises and false in conclu-
sions. They attribute infdelty to slavery. Alb.
olionism is as properly the fruit of in6deity. In
fidelity drives the church to Abolitionism With
out infdelity there would be no abolitionism in
the church.


WHY NOT SOONER.


Bat very natural question is suggested. How
does i; that the church has not taken hold of
the matter sooner There is no mere antslavery
agitation to day than there has been for the last
six years. How does il come then that the ch urch.
es are just waxing up their sense of duty in re-
gard to this monster inquity2 Let the abolition
churches answer.


STAND FROM UNDER.


If the people keep their eyes open and 90 their

tics and religion But if they permit themselves
to be blinded BY demagogues we shall all have to
believe slavery to DO the Of all vllanes and
vote the Black Republican ticket before we can

ing crisis of affairs, it is the Guty of every man
who is not fanatic to do what he can to stay the
increasing tide of treason and disunion BY all the
means in his power. If the conservative men do
not stand up to their responsibilities, we shall have

A SAD AND AFFECTING INCTDENT-On Saturday
afternoon as Mr.. William Stevens was cunning on
the meadows in the vicinity of the Kossuth woods,
his dog strayed out into marshy spot to the right
OF Oliver street. and when in about the middle of
the ,quagmire stopped and commenced an excessive
barking over some object, thus causing Mr. Ste
vens to follow him and discover the dead body of
the poor little boy, William Henry Findlay, who
has been lost from his parents since the 5th instant
The little fellow had no doubt followed the band
with which he had last been seen on that day, to
the picnic ground little distance further on, and
starting for home, tired with his long walk, had
taken the nearest way across the meadow, and
stepping between the bogs had become so deeply
mired that he was unable to extricate himself.
His legs were firmly imbedded above his knees in
the marsh, and with all the exertion that he could
have made could not possibly have freed himself
without assistance, so that he must have perished
from sheer exhaustion and exposure. colored
man living some tWo hundred yards from where the
body was found, says that during that night
which our readers will remember was dark stor-
my and disma-he heard the voice of a child call
ing "mamma-m but was not able to dis
cover from whence it came, and it soon ceased al
together; then it was no doubt, when that little
voice ceased to call its earthly parent, that the
freed spirit took its flight to the bosom of the eter-
nal Father, joyed to be cat home again.

his age, and is described of cheerful and hap
