weie legible, did not see an abuse palpable to
everybody ! He tells servants to obey their
masters, hut he no where says that the master
shall not hold the slave in bondage. His si-
lenceirm the subject is conclusive. We should
remark; that the Greek term, translated servant
in the; New Testament, means a slave, and not
a hired servant, for that is expressed by a very
ditterent term.
Not only did not the Saviour say anyting
against admitting slaveholders to communion,
but there is nothing like it m the New Testament
before iiia death or after. If it be objected that
the Appstles had not jurisdiction over the sub-
ject, then is'jt admitted that slaveholding is at
least not inconsistent with a Christian life, for
they jhad jurisdiction over everything which
was. j pn one occasion, the Apostle Paul went
so. far as to send back to his master a slave
who had runaway from him, bearing a letter
in which the Apostle intercedes for the fugitive.
A full account of this transaction will be found
in the? epistle of Paul to Philemon, who was the
master 'of the slave. The name of the latter
was Omnesimus. Paul, at least it seems, felt

with her whole heart.! Her Free Church will
riot compromise its Christian character by join

touch of the vnholy leper. ".
, j. 41 'flie Church of the Free States, perhaps
with a single' exception, is in fellowsphip with
the Church of the Slave States. In this way
the Church is guilty ofthe charge of upholding
Slavery, and until its ministers 'denounce the;
whole system, until it takes the ground which
wie firmly believe the Scottish Church is rapid-:
ly approaching, no fellowship wilh any man:
who holds man as chattel property, it will fall;
infinitely below the dignity of a Christian;
Church. No man deplores this condition of;
the Church more than we do; we are dejected
even to sadness, when we behold the manner;
inUvhich it treats the most stupendous institu-!
tion of robbery, of fraud and oppression the
world has ever mourned over."
The inference to be derived from the above
extract is, that the writer regards slavery as a
deadly sin, and that those cannot be christians
who hold slaves. Now we are far from believ-;
ing that slavery is a blessing, or that the South
ern States would not have been happier and
richer, had not the cupidity of English mer- j
chants fastened upon them an institution, of
which ihereappeatousno possibility of getting
rid; Yet that any man, who is himself a pro
fessor of religion, as we take this editor to be,
should indulge the belief that a slaveholder can
not be a christian, is to us a subject of uhquali
tied amazement.
the country by its magnitude, could the
statistics be fairly presented to view : but
I did not think of touching upon this sub
ject now. though I may at some other time.
One single fact, in passing, I will mention.
One house in this' city has paid, barely for
the jmper on whichlthey printed a single
book, in less than; two years, seventy-sir
thousand dollars.' I had the statement
from one ofthe firm, and have no doubt
of its truth. The book, of course was large,
and the sale very great.
I recollect seeing it stated; several years
ago, that a project was started for having
one ofthe Western Territories set off by
the General Government for the purpose
of piling away superfluous books. But
that internal improvement has been so
long neglected that those Territories are
now otherwise occupied. However, per
haps we may yet find relief in the matter ;
for, when Mr. Polk gets possession of the
whole of Mexico, there will doubtless be
room to pile away a few. And it strikes
mo now that this may be, after all," what
we are fighting for5.

THE MORMONS !lN CALIFORNIA.
The Mormons in California have recent
ly addressed a letterjtothe "Saints in En
gland and America, describing the new
country in which they have taken up their
future residence. About twenty men of
their number have ; gone astray after
strange gods,'' and refuse to assist in pro
viding for the brethren. The colony has
commenced a settlement on the river San
Joaquin, a large and beautiful stream,
emptying into the Bay of San Francisco.
Twenty of their number were up at New
Hope, ploughing and putting in wheat and
other crops, and making preparations to
move their families up in the spring. The
Spaniards, or natives;1 were kind to them,
although they were much terrified by the
reports circulated about them by the em
igrants from Missourii Four ol their num
ber, three males arid one female were
excommunicated from the Church during
the passage, for grossly immoral conduct
and three males have shared the same
fate since reaching theMr destination. :y No
intelligence had been j received from the
brethren at the Society Islands. - ;
