SALISBURY, N. C, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 2,
Boarding is emaikably cheap,' land eveiy
convenience is afforded to render popils com-
fortable iind pleasant, away from jibe bustle,
temptations and corrupt habits of villages, and
fanned by a healthful, moral atmosphere, free
from thejcontaminaiions of vice so often found
in boarding schools. "; '
Union!' Academy was founded principally by
tbe Methodists and Baptits. though it is not
sectarian in any form. I think 1 can safely
rerommend this school 10 tbe pal ion age of all
it reflects much bobor on its founders and
may I bey reap a licb harvest from their labors
see tbeir children standing in the'temple of
learnings and sending! out tiutb aud knowledge

On Monrjay rooming last, twenty-four liish

they will no doubt, endeavor to di&jiose of with

who pay tases for the privilege of selling goods,
lo keep a sharp look out for ibbse .chaiaceis.

The I Slave Case. Tbe opinion of Judge
Pavue, libeiavog the eight neg.oesjof Mr. aud
Mrs. Lemmon, excites less rematfc, so tar, ai
the South tban at the North. Tbe only Souib
ero paper which! we have noticed as having en-
lerca upon a aenoerate ibvibw ui i.uo ujiuhuu,
is the IJichmond YVbg, which pronounces it as
unsoundboth ii,)on,auiboHty and iiom analogy
It pronounces it a radical error ol the Judge to
treat New Yoik aod Virginia as fnatiou, 10
ibe legal: or internal acceptation of tbe teim.
Tbev aio dependant upon a supeiior powet, be
Constitution of the United blaie. which lecog
nizes slavery, and protects it as propeity. mei-
cbandize. The law of na'tdnJ does not apply,
says tbe Whig, to cases between two Stales so
connected. Tbe law of New Yoik5 cannot over-
ride the if-onslii union bfibe Uned- bijues..
44 II the Constitution! of the Uni ed Stales,
says 1 he! W big. is not adequa'e Jo pWect the
slave oWneis fiomihe wrongs Miflicted in tbis
case, it fs high time for Viigrolaljp legislate in
some way, bv which Ibis State of New loik
shall be 'induced so far to modify ber statutes
as not to run riot over tbe vested liglns of eve
ry slave owner who is so unfortunate, as by ac
cident or necessity, to be driven into her ports.
This is In alarming advance of 4boiitionism
the more dangerous because tt comes invested
with the'semblance of justice, and clothed with
tbe" m3jes;v of tbe law." . j-. ; .
But the'New York papers teem with articles
on the subject. Tbe Commeicial. whilst it re
gretj lbeSvbole occurrence, and blames the man
For carrying bis negDe$ to Newj Yoik. urges
that Ibe decision is universally adm)ned to be
the law.'and iberefoie should be acquiesced in,
until reversed by a higher iiibunal, as Ihe fiigi
live law has been acquiesced in, because it is
Ibe law, by those who disliked if as much as
the Southern pedpte dislike this decision.
The 44 Day Book" violently assails ibe de.
cisioo and the Judge who made it. It speaks
of it as "Mho first instance of the complete tri
umph oft be higher law," tbe subordination of
the Constitution oftbe United &ates fo so called
Stale police reulai ions, and the legfr sancuoo-
ing of highway robbery." licoarges me juugo
with being ibe willing instrument of ibe abo
Iitiooislsf determined from the first lo set aside
justice atjd the Constitution oftbe l. Stales.
The Courier add Enquirer kays.s
44 We 'must admit that at tbe firsj blush this
decision appeared to be more tBap plausible.
Just it is not ; though it is possibJefihat tbe let
ter of law admits no other. It i certainly di
ametrically opposed o the spirit pfj the Consti
tution of ihe recent l!aw passed b CJongress up
on the subject of slavery. It will do more to
1852;
separate Nprib and Spy h tban any oib'er event
which has bappened since (be birth of our con
federation, and will opeo at once ibe gaping
breach which basibut now with so much solic
ilude been Closed? ? 4.
The Eveoiog Mirror says.
" Tbe decision iof ; Judge Paine is concurrent
with ibis construction of ibe Jaw ; Indeed, it
could not ber legally obei wise, but, while a per
fectJy legal decision,; who Can fail to perceive
that it is one '..bat esrikes ah unmitigated blow
at all fuluie social inteicoursse of Soutbeioers
with ibe North, in so far fa lhat inteicourse

ibe accompaniment of their bond domestics."
j From the Presbyterian.
Tendencies of the Times.
Un)er tbis title,! the October number of
lhe: Theological and Literary Review, edit
ed by David NJiliord of New York, who
has devoted muchUime to the study oftbe
prophecies, contaihs an article on the pre
sent position and prospects of the Church,
wbtch deserves consideration. The re
viewer does notaree that there are indi
cations ol the speccly overthrow of Satan's
kingdom, and of aimillennial reign of the
gospel oh earth. He regards tbe signs of
the times as decidedly the reverse ; tbat
there is a prospect of a relalive decline
of true religion, add a rapid growth of tbe
parties anci influences that are in antago
nism to it.! 5 Taking our own country as a
basis of hts argument, he adduces, in sup
port of his views, the! predominance of an
a v ar i c i 0 u s wo r 1 d ly s pi r i t ; tbe prevalence
of debasing and enormous crimes ; the
powerful -agencies; employed by atheists
andj'nfldels of various shades, Universal
isf SitSocinians, Romanists. Mormons, Swe
denborgians, Puseyifes, and others; the
enormous circulation of licetious and scep
tical publications from the press ; I he suc
cess of numerous and preposterous delu
sions, finding every where so many disci
ples and advocates ; and finally, the pre
valence of alarming errors in nominally
evangelical churches. In regard lo none
pf these, the reviewer contends, can it be
shown that there is reason lo believe that
the e are symptoms of decay, or that their
power is; neutralized by (he instrumenlal
ilie put forth by fhe Church. On the last
point soggesled,; we prefer to let the Re
view speakj for itself. : j
44 Ad, fi'ly. errors and; delusions are not
confined 10 'those mainly who are not profess
edly: religious ; ibey pievailjin the Cbuich also,
and on a gilCater scale, probalrly, sbao at any
lo-mer peiidd. Instead of standing wholly on
be tide of truth, andexeiiiiig, by its principles,
iis teacliitig, and ii!s example, only a salutary
influence,! Hi is iiseilf itie sejai. in; some ol i.'s
braocbesvof gross apostasy ; wbile those of its
deiiorriinaiipns that probably embrace the gieai
est number of tine woisbrpei s. are divided in
to pa riies that differ essentially in tbeir views
ol the doditines of iedemp;ion,! and are labor
ing as s'lenuouily in one of tbeir divisions to
disseminate enos that subvert the gospel, as
ibef aie in the ot he,rto inculcate and maintain
the truth. ! Thus, within a few years, a large
party 'has
jisen in ihe Congregational body.
wboi adoiiiiog tbe metapbyscial ibeory of a self
delei mineld will, deny, on the ground of it. ihe
power of Cjod io prevent bis cieaiures from sip
nn. or leklore those who ire fa Hen to holiness
by bis Spirit ; and'tbence deny, doubt, or oeg.
lei t all ibegieal doctrines of his word with
wbich Ibat dogma conflicts:; and that ei ror has
found ma uv disciples andTaVouers also in other
denominations. At the same time another par
ty ina measuie fiom pursuing ibese speculations
10 their natuial results, and still more Irom a
dopting other elements of the modern Ceiman
metaphysics, and the rationalistic theory of in
terpretatian, has ajiseo, that not ony lejects
the gieal doctiines of the gospel, but gives up
its faitb in tbe Bible itself as an inspired reve
la. ion fiorp God, and holds it to be of little hb
er aut hoi by than cither didactic and historical
works that have descended: to us from t be sages
and philosophers of ancient times. These dis.
ciples of ibe German theological infidetiiy, some
of whom are deeply tinged with maleiialism.
and rome with spiritual pantheism, instead of a
small body are, ifwe mayj rely on the repie.
sent aiions of persons who have the best oppor.
tuniiies of knowledge, quite nnmerous ; and it
is indicated by the exiensiire acquiescence and
sunnoit the doclrioes of the leadeis of ibe par-
ty are receiving bom the ministers and cburcb,
es. In ibe meanilirne. iin jibe Episcopal and
German Hefoimed Churches, parties have ris
en who openly favor the doctrines of Roman
ism, exaliibeautbority of tradition above Scrip
tures, rely on saciametits for the atonement ol
sin and the regeneiatioQ of the heart, and 00
the intercession ofc saints for other spiritual and
temporal blessings. ; j j
4 While these, or other en,ual defections from
the truth have taken place in the principal de

Whilst we are twt altogether prepared
to agree with the reviewer in bis con
clusions, we regard the suggestions as of
much-importance. Vice, irreligion, and
error in various shapes, unqueslibhably
abound. The freedom of opinion, the lib
erty of the press, and the general rest
lessness and activity of the peoplerender
this land a fine field, for the operations of
whatever is antagonistic to truth and
righteouesness. As population increases,
and new-and dangerous elements are con
stantly aidded to it, the powers of evil a
mongst us will inevitably gain strength,
unless counteracted by the energetic and
persevering efforts, on a larger scale lhan
has heretofore obtained of the people of
God. Such considerations call loudly up
on the Church to cast off her worldliness,
to cultivate more of a scriptural self-denying
piety, to give far more liberally of
ber abounding substance, to pray tbe Lord
of the harvest to raise up and send forth
more labourers into his vineyard, and es
pecially to seek, in larger measure, the
outpourings of the Holy Spirit in genuine
revivals of religion. No matter how for
midable and successful may seem to be
Ihe powers of darkness, there is an arm
to which God's people have access, that
can easily dash to pieces al.l their devices.
Greater ts he TbaTis for us, than arc those
that are against us.
Anecdote of a Landlord, who was compell
ed to pay his own Tenants Rent out of
his own Pocket.
A short petiod previous to the enactment
of the present Jaw in favor of the tenant,
a landlord owning some nineteen or twen
ty houses in the lower part of the city, al
ways bringing bim in remunerative rents,
and often limes exbotbitant, particularly
in fashionable business locations,; was in
the habit of giving one whole day's grace
lo bis tenant; but never failed ; on the
second morning, to lake bis rent roll, and
in his light barouche wagon, lo drive round
to.all bis tenants, and as he rigidly requir
ed payment on lhat day, every one expect
ed to be prepared to meet bim.
A poor widow oocupied one of bis; stores,
some 10 by 18 feel, for which she paid
four hundred dollais per annum. On the
first day of February, she called dn this
excellent but inexorable landlord, and told
him that in consequence of tbe death of
her mother, whose funeral expenses she
had with great difliculty borne, she could
not pay her rent on the second of Febru
ary, as she expected.
He argued the matter, and assured her
it would be jut as easy to pay it then as
to wait. She remonstrated, and besought
bim with tears to allow ber to give him
some part of it, and wait on ber a few days
for the balance. To this earnest and pa
ihelic appeal, he morosely replied:
4 1 don't want any blubbering, or any
scenes enacted here ; if you can't pay the
rent; then I must send a landlord's war
rant; and make you." Saying this, he
arose and opened the door, not wishing to
give ber a chance to reply, and left the
loom.
His wife, who bad hitherto remained
silent, now came forward, and addressing
herself to the widow, whose name was
Mrs. Clark, kindly asked :
4 What is ihe amount of rent that is
due. madam V
4 One hundred dollars.taia'am; and weep
ing, she added. 4 1 cannot possibly pay it,
I know I cannot.' '
The landlord's wife was a young crea
ture, lhat had lived but a- short time in
tbe cily had been born and lived all her
days in the same house, and to her tbe
idea of a family being sold out was awful.
And. although she had been but a short
lime married, she knew that herjjusband
was inexorable. She had witnessed the
interview, heaTd ihe reasons, and was de
terminednotonlyjoobey the dictates of hu
manity, but play a practical joke on her
husband. Assisting the widow to put on
her cloak, and accompanying her to the
door; she said to ber in an under tone--
4 How long, madam, before yo'a will
find it convenient lo pay your rent?'
4 Really, madam, there is nothing doing
in millinery, you know, until after the
middle of March. I think by the 20th I
car. say positively that 1 can do it.'
After a moment's reflection she said to
her; ' .
