The day may come, when you too will contemplate it, with emotions very different from those, which you now' express. You still claim to be the true disciples and friends of the Saviour. To his grace I commend you. And my earnest prayer for you is, that the day may soon come, when you will very seriously and anxiously consider, whether in all that you have done or said, in relation to yourselves and the church, in the case which is now closed, you have exemplified the spirit of the meek and lowly Jesus, and whether the course which you have pursued, is 6uch as will be likely to ensure you, in a dying hour, the peace and the joy and the strong consolation of those who love him and keep ata commandments.

The principle appears to be laid down, that the citizens may enforce justice by violence, whenever it cannot be obtained through the courts.

A necessary deduction from this, must be that the majority are to judge for themselves what is justice and the temptation to do so, will of course be strongest when they are "under the greatest excitement, and therefore least fit to decide. According to. this plan, Law, at the very time it was most needed, would be the most completely useless. What constitutes the claim cf Law upon our reverence? It is that it purports to be a principle deliberately announced by men, as in strict ccordance with eternal principles of right and wrong: and is announced in moments of impartial calmness, as a safe appeal in times of excited passion. Thus reverently should laws be made; and thus reverently should they be obeyed.

Standard. Lyndiinsz. Most of the editors cry murder! at the lynching of the Driscolls in Illinois anrt yet we think it quite likely that they would have joined in the murder if they had been on the spot. When it is possible to enforce the laws through the courts, no other course should be resorted to on any consideration. But among the horse thieves of the frontiers, courts can do nothing.

If any man has tbe courage to prosecute the villains, they murder him without ceremony. Sheriffs, judges, and good citizens, when they enforce the laws, do it at the peril of their lives. Under such circumstances there is no protection in the laws they cannot be enforced. In Illinois, as in Vicksburgh the roost desperate villains ruled the country with terror. They committed what outrages they pleased, and dared the robbed and injured citizens to bring them to justice.

There are, in fact, but two ways in which the case can be met. One is, to submit to the ma- randers: and the other is to eive them their own play, and, by a general rising of tbe community, to settle the question and restore the reign oi we laws. We here, in our quiet homes, protected by a well constituted society around us, have no conception of the alarm with which the horse thieves nil the fron tier. And whatever we may say as good citizens, there are few of us who would not join in the effort to put down this reign ot terror. Colored Citizens.

The Anti-Slavery Society in Cambridzeport, 31 have published a remonstrance against the unchristian and unrepublican conduct of the driver of the Cambridge omnibus, in having refused a highly respectublu colored man and woman to ride to Boston. This is right. Let tboso who think justly on this subject, never fail to remonstrate, puoiiciy, whenever sucu cases occur. In this in stance the operation of absurd prejudice was the more cruel, as the woman was in a feeble state of ncalth. A.

Clerical SlnreitesV At the rerent meeting of the Massachusetts A. S. Society at Millbnry, facts were elicited which want to show the pistiferous influence eicrtcd upon the anli-siavery cause by many of this class or persons and Suitable comments were made upon them by tbe speakers. 'Among other instances of this kind is that of Dr. Way land, the present incumbent of the presidential chair of Brown University so far as literature and science are abstractedly considered, everyone knows that tbe chair could not be better filled.) Wo have seldom heard of a more periina cious and incorrigible defender of slavery among the clergy, however, rampant as are the major part them on the subject, than this elevated personage, if we may judge from the fbilowinr account of an interview had with him on the subject, by Henry C.

U. W. Boston, Aug. 30. 1841.

Can not the Doctor, in his aptness at reasoning from discover the consequences that must fol low to him by holding his present opinions, analogous as they are to those entertained by every tyrant in the univerr? A knowledge of his sentiments in full on tho subject of slavery, unlocks a mystery to us, in regard to him, with which we have long been puz zled. But, without further prelude, we give II. C. W's article It is not surprising that Dr. W.

should have precipi-tatedly left the room, at being unable to answer the home questions of II. C. W. His conscience was doubt leui smitten, and, stung by remorse, he was compelled to flee the presence of him who had sent the barbed arrow. Still, he would have 'shown more christian courtesy, had he remained, even at the expense of being, like one of old, when conscious that be had not the truth to sustain him, Better still would it have been for him, had he had the magnanimity, like a brother colonization minister, when taken in hand by Mr.

Garrison, and convinced of bis error, frankly to acknowledge it, and, like him, become a consistent and active abolitionist. But it would have been too galling to the pride of one holding his high station, and loving, like the Rabbis (or Doctors) of yore, 'greetings in the market thus to become identified with a class every where spoken consequently be of no tion. How can ye believe, who receive honor one of another Is it not however singular, that one wlce mind is so discriminating, and whose ethic vision so clear as to enable him to discover and proclaim the moral dignity of the missionary enterprise, should be so blinded by prejudice, education or interest, as not to perceive and acknowledge, that human accountability urges more strongly upon us the claims of the enslaved heathen at home than the personally free heathen abrord? Shall those beings of immortal destiny among us, whom God has created a little lower than the continue to be crushed to the level of the beasts that perish, and the Doctor's low standard of 'human accountability' suffer any still longer to look quiescently upon the enormity He might as well talk of a white black-bird, or of a red-hot snow-ball, as of a roan possessing the spirit of Christ while guilty of supporting a system which involves a violation of all tbe precepts of the gospel. Davis, that clerical slaveholder, and public apolo-i gist of slavery, recently among us, who, in its defence, flounders neck-deep in its filth, and whose men-dacity is equal to hit impudence, could not, under these circumstances, permanently injure the anti-sla-, very cause. Not so with men of the standing and influence of President Wayland.

His little finger, in this case, is heavier than the loins of Davis. It is humiliating and distressing to reflect, that we have such a host of church dignitaries, (for Dr. W. is not a sinnner above all others in his high who are purblind on the subject Of slavery. They are not thinly scattered over the land then they would not be heeded in this day of the people's awakening but they are thickly and permanently located, diffusing their poisonous pro-slavery influence, and noxious sectarian breath through community and, by keeping open the sluices of prejudice, sealing the fountains of pity.

S. i Sura, Aug. 24, 1841. Wendell Phillips's Lecture. Mr.

Editor In common with a large number of the inhabitants of this city and its vicinity, I enjoyed, on Sunday eve ning last, the privilege of listebing to a highly inter esting lecture, from one of the most eloquent and zealous advocates of human rights, Wendell Phillips, at the Mechanic Hall and hoping that a slight sketch 1. ama ntfhAii.il I. do any thing like justice to the lecturer, The audience, comprising. I presume, nearlv 1800 i. persons, gave lor above an hour their close, and at almost breathless attention to his logical and eloquent address; and must have been convi need, (if at all open to conviction,) by his unanswerable arsru- ments.

The object of Mr. Phillips was to present the anti- slavary enterprise before the minds of his hearers, as one in which they were solemnly bound to engage and to enforce its claims as a christian duty upon their immediate consideration. He directed the attention of those present to the fact that the present course of policy pursued by Great Britain towards her East India possessions, would in short time have the effect to change almost entire ly the commercial relations of our country, by destroy ing the demand fbr the great staple upon which the strongest pillars of her commerce rest, viz. cotton. He showed conclusively that, judging from the in crease which had taken place in the export of our great staples from those colonics of Great Britain with in the Inst seven years, in a very short time we might expect to see the cotton and sugar of Bengal forcing those products of American slave labor from the markets of the world, as its indigo had already done.

He went on to remark, that, when that crisis comes, as come it must, soon, when men who have no conscience except, their pockets, and consider dollars of more consequence than duties, find bankruptcy staring them in the face when self-interest, the only motive which seems to operate upon some minds, whispers that it would be better to emancipate, then, if the moral and religious influence of the community ran be brought to operate favorably, we may hope for im mediate and unconditional emancipation. He then proved that the influence of the churches and ministers of our country was, almost universally, on the side of oppression he showed the inconsisten cy of Christians in lending their support to institu tions claiming to be churches of Christ, which admit slaveholders, or those wh: refuse to give their testimony against slavery, to their communion and en deavored to impress upon the minds of those present their obligation to withhold their sanction from these corrupt associations, and to withdraw from all con nexion with them. His lecture, in my opinion, was calculated to do much good, especially in this city, where the recent developements in one of the churches have fully proved the pro-slavery character of its officers and members. I regret the necessity of mentioning the fact that another difficulty occurred at the station of the Eastern Rail-road, on Monday, in consequence of a colored man of much respectability and intelligence, (Wm. C.

Nell, of Boston, taking his seat in the cars with Phillips. The directed him to withdraw, which he refused to do, until the superin tendent of the rail-road confirmed the sentence, hen he removed to tbe car pointed out fbr his accommoda tion, accompanied by Mr. Phillips. Stephen A. Chase, the superintendent, was evidently much ashamed of the work he was engaged in, and the passengers showed no disposition to sustain him in it, but rather the contrary so I think public opinion is be coming altered for the better, though slowly.

Yours for universal liberty, W. Brother Pillsbury in Taunton. On Friday evening, July 30, Mr Parker Pillsbury, of N. II lectured on slavery at tbe Town Hall in Taunton, Mass. He presented the following resolu tion for discussion, and gave an invitation to all who maintained tbe negative, to come forward and de bate it He had lectured there, I believe one evening before.

Resolved, That American Slavery is a system of wholesale robbery, adultery, man-stealing and murder, that it is the sin of the whole nation, but pke-kmi- KUTtr of the North; that it is sustained both by tbe republicanism and religion of the country, bet PRE-EMINENTLY BT TBE RELIGION, AND THAT SO EN LIGHTENED PERSON OUGHT TO BE REGARDED AS A CHRISTIAN, WHO IS KOT AN ACTIVE OUTSPOKEN ABO LITIONIST. Mr. Pillsbury waited for some one to speak upon the subject, but no one came forward. He of course had the whole field to himself. But it appears that he was such an excellent marksman that he wounded some few who are 'as good abolitionists as you but, don't like your measures After be was gone, some one or two summoned up courage sufficient to attack him in the paper (the Whig) in a most cowardly manner, calling him radical dangerous a brawling a 'wof in sheep's tc.

and then accusing him of very bard language unbecoming any gentleman, JLc. In about two weeks, Mr. Pillsbury came back from the New Bedford and Nantucket meetings, and his friends, and the friends of the slave, gave him another opportunity to lecture and discuss the above resolution, thinking that as some professed frjend of tbe slave had thus attacked him in the papers, they would have courage enough to meet him for the purpose of discussing the resolution. The meeting was held on the evening of the 13th when a larger assemblage had convened together than at the previous meeting, notwithstanding the papers of both political parties cautioned the public against hearing this brawling The Taunton 'Democrat' had, the Friday previous, the following short article, evidently intended to prejudice the liberty party so called, against him Parker Pillsbury. The editor of tbe Free American, the organ of the Abolition Society and tha Liberty party in this State, says As to Mr.

Pillsbury, the Liberty party have nothing to do with him, and nsks if this paper will have the candor to say so But, Mr. American, how is it that Mr. Pillsbury i sustained here by some of the warmest friends of the Liberty party The writer of this article having seen notice given that Mr. Tillsbury would then discuss the subject of tbe above resolution, and seen the abusive attack in the Taunton papers, walked eight miles to hear him on tbe above evening, and was highly gratified with tbe candor, moderation, and abilitv. in which he manages the subject.

He mentioned the circtftnstanc nf his previously introducing the resolution, its recep tion, Scc, and then gave an earnest and pressing in vitalien to any one on the negative to come forward and meet him in fair argument. He then sat dewn and waited patiently for an opponent but no perron appeared. He then' mads some just and discreet ob servations on the first clause of the resolution, giving another call fbr some one to meet him; and then again sat down but bis call was vain no living soul moved a foot or tongne ajrainst. him. This he did several times, till he investigated every part of the resolution iu a most able and satisfactory manner, no one appearing to say nay to the resolution or bis' remarks.

1. S. Bristol County Anti-Slavery Society The adjourned annual meetipg of tho Bristol Coun ty Anti-Slavery Society was held in New-Bedford, in Liberty Hall, on Monday, August 9th, at 10 o'clock Rodney French, President, in tbe chair. On motion of Jno. Bailey, the following individuals were appointed a committee to nom inate a list of offi cers for the Society fbr tbe year ensuing, vis Jobn Bunker, of Fairhaven, Lucinda Wilmarth, of Attle-borrough, Richard C.

French, of Fall River, Jeremiah B. Sanderson, of New-Bedford, and Solomon Wood ward, of Taunton. On motion, the following individuals were cho sen to prepare business for this meeting, viz Wm. Lloyd Garrison' and John A. Collins, of Boston, David Sylvester, Munroe, Thomas James, Mary T.

CoDgdon, and Andrew Robeson of New-Bedford. The following resolutions (introduced by the busi ness committee of the 31 iddlesex County A. S. Socie ty at its last quarterly meeting) were presented by Wm. Lloyd chairman of tbe business com mittee, and ably discussed by Parker Pillsbury, of N.

Lloyd Garrison, John Burbank, Thomas James, John A. Collins and Edmonds, of Dartmouth, when a motion was made to adjourn to 2 o'clock. Carried. Resolved, That no association is worthy to be recognized as an anti-slavery or a christian church, which gives the right hand of fellowship to slaveholders, or to the apologists of slavery, or to any slave-holding church, or to any church or association which connives at alaveholding, or which arrays itself against the anti-slavery enterprise. Resolved, That all those meeting-houses, in which persons are degraded and insulted on account of their complexion or aitriation in lifo, and compelled to occupy the negro pew or an obscure seat, are if the requirements ofChristianity are obligatory upon mankind, and God is no respecter of persons under the control of an evil and devilish spirit, and while they remain so, are to be shunned by all true worshippers as synagogues of Satan.

Resolved, That, as the various religious sects of our land hold their sectarian interests to be paramount to the claims of justice and humanity, feeling themselves bound in all cases to support those interests to the utter di regard and even violation of those claims, we are compelled to regard them as the most formidable ob stacles to the progress of the anti-slavery cause, and of every righteousandphilanthropic enterprise and that their position leaves uTwTthT to assail them by the force of truth, or relinquish the hope of the emancipation of the slave, and the salvation of the world. Afternoon Session. The discussion of the above resolutions was waived. and the report of the nominating committee presented and accepted. Nathaniel B.

Borden having been nominated for ne of the Vice-Presidents, John Bailey moved that bis name be stricken out on tbe ground of his having voted at the last Presidential eleetion for a si ave- holder for Vice-President of the United States. Rod ney French objected to him on account of his vote in favor of the sng rule. An interesting discussion now took place, in which Messrs Garrison, Pillsbury, Collins, French, of Fall River, Woodward, of Taunton, and others took part; when a motion was made by James Brewer, of Taunton, to amend John Bailey's motion by substituting the following: That all persons nominated by the committee for offices of the Society, who voted, either for Harrison and Tyler or Van Buren and be stricken from the list. This amendment, after re marks in its favor by the mover, Rodney French and John Bailey, was adopted. John Bailey withdrew his motion to strike out, and moved that the report of tbe nominating committee be recommitted, which was agreed to.

Richard C. French, of Fall and Solomon Woodward, of Taunton, requested to be excused from serving upon me nominating committee, and Edward Buffioton and Andrew Robeson were appointed to supply their The committee reported the name of Warren De lano, ofFairhaven, as one of tbe Vice-Preside Jts, in place of N.

Daniel Brewer, of Taunton, and Richard C.French declined standing as candidates fbr the offices for which they had been nominated, and were ex ensed. James Congdon moved that tbe name of N. B.

Adopted. The resolutions before the meeting at the adjournment iu the morning were now taken up and further discussed by Parker Pillsbury, Thomas James, Wm.

Lloyd Garrison, and others, until the hour fbr adjournment. Wm. Lloyd Garrison, from tbe business committee, proposed the following resolution for discussion this evening, and the meeting adjourned to 7 o'clock. Resolved, That the decision of the Court in this town a short timaTarince, in relation to an assault committed upon our unflinching and unfaltering colored coadjutor, David Ruggles, by tbe servants of the New Bedford and Taunton rail road corporation, was grossly atrocious, a violation of the first principles of, hu- inanity, and an outrage upon tha Constitution of this Commonwealth, which declares as a self-evident truth, that all aaen have an inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness.

Wm. Coma, Secretary. Walpoli, Aug. 20, 1841. To the Editor of the Liberator: Dear Sir In reporting the doings of tbe Norfolk County anti-slavery meeting, held at Weymouth, on the 21st of July last, several mistakes were made with regard to statements of two individuals who attended tbe above named meeting The above mistakes ap peared in the Liberator of Aug.

6th. Therefore, in justice to ourselves, and to the friends who attended that meeting', it has been thought proper that the fol lowing corrections should be made. First, nothing, I believe, was said in regard to a Christian Society in Walpole meeting once in three months; but it was stated that quite a number of individuals (despised and rejected by the fashionable Christians, and stigmatized by the name of Comeoutists,) have been? in the habit of assembling together every first day of the week, for a number of years, to hold public worship. Second, the Sabbath School that was got up after our Walpole brother fell into the hands of new organization, was got up in Worcester by our brother Guild, not in Walpole, as many of the readers of the Libera tor supposed. Third.

In regard to the number ex communicated, it was stated that within the last 3 or 4 months, the church have excommunicated one of its members, and one or two of the members had ex communicated tbe church. Let it be kept in remembrance, that the individual above alluded to was not excommunicated fbr immoral conduct, (as the church themselves admit,) but for being a thorough-going ab olitionist for carrying out his principles in refusing to recognize a pro-slavery church as a christian body, or support a pro-slavery minister and became he could not be prevailed on by the tHrcats of spurious abolitionists and northern apologists to keep abolition and non-resistance out of the church, they have ex communicated him thus proving themselves recreant to the cause they profess to love, and unworthy the name they assume. Most of the abolitionists in Norfolk County recol lect the cold reception they met with, when they at tended the County meeting in this place Inst October, especially from those pretended friends of tbe slave who used all the means which lay in their power, to prevent us from having a suitable place to bold our meetings and since the infamous act of closing the Orthodox meeting-house against the County Society, they have "closed their -riry against the Walpole Anti-Slavery Society, and denied them the nse of it to hold their monthly concert of prayer; and yet the church, as a body, knowing all these things, look on with cold indifference, and the minister, by his silence, says anion. ours tor toe slave, L.

Louisiman Submerged in Such was the title of an article in a Southern print, devoted to the humbug insurrection Louisiana. As we all along supposed, from a knowledge nf the cowardice and mendacity ot tne people oi tnat region, the conspiracy turned out a perfect farce. Tbe slaves arrested were tried at Bayou Sara on the 29th and there was no evidence produced against them which au thorised even the simplest punishment. The New Oi leans Bee supposes that there might have been a notion among some of the slaves to rebel, which the tears ot tne wnites magmiea, and, when the matter became sifted, the planters, seeing they were necessarily likely to lose some valuable hands, stopped the prosecution. Tbey would suffer any thing rather -than lose money; but in truth the story was got op expressly to excuse tbe severe policy exercised toward the blacks, abuse of the abolitionists, The plan did'nt work.

Boston Times. The largest merchandise depot in the United States is now in course of construction in Boston, at tbe terminus of the Worcester rail-roan. It will be completed on the first of December next, and will be 400 feet long, 120 feet wide.I Its interior will be very judiciously arranged. Its foundation is or. piles, thickly driven in the very best manner.

On these piles is placed lengthwise a range of granite stones, and on the top of these a like range crosswise. On the top of this last range, and to equalize the pressure perfect ly, we find reversed arches of granite. At the end of the walls, the lateral pressure is sustained by bars of iron, wuicn Key together several of the arches. There is to be but one story to this depot. Jts walls will be 18 feet high.

To give greater strength to these walls, they will have no windows. The light will come from the roof, which will tend to diminish its weight. The roof, constructed in tbe most scientific manner, is to rest entirely on the walls leaving, unobstructed by pillars, the magnificent sight of a. depot covering moje than an acre of land and thus placing every thing within it under the eye of the superintendent! AnoihebTClerical Among the most interesting civil causes which came on for trial, was that of Patrick McFarland, vs. John McNulty.

It was an action brought by the plaintiff, fbr tbe seduction of his daughter by the defendant. The character of the parties, the relation in which they stood to each other, and some of the facta and the circumstances elicited on tbe trial, rendering it peculiarly interesting and exciting. The defendant is a Roman Catholic priest, residing at Hogansburgh, N. Y. hie parochial duties have frequently called hi in to this town, on which occasions he has made the plaintiffs bouse his home, no to last November.

The plaintiff is a respectable farmer, and has resided in this town about fiAeen years, and is a prominent member of tbe Roman Catholic church. Aon McFarland, the daughter of the plaintiff to recover I damages for whose seduction this suit was commenced is about 19 years of age, and an only child. She is also a member of the same church, and has been fori the last three or four years in the habit of frequently! visiting Hogansbiirgn, and spending several days, and sotrietiinea weeks at a time, in tbe family of McNulty. It was during one of these visits that the seduction is charged to have taken place. The cause was ably managed on both aides.

For the plaintiff, Mssrs. Hascall, Fardhurst, Stow and Beckwitb. For defendant, Messrs. Foots, Jackson, and Gillet. The jury after being out one hour, returned into court with a verdict for tho plaintiff of $2500.
