The second article of the Constitution was as follows: The objects of the Society shall be to endeavor, by all means sanctioned by law, humanity and religion, to effect the abolition of slavligent, clear-headed, and industrious population, whom it is not easy to mislead by any political impostures, and who are fully aware that the protection of American industry is the life-blood of the nation.

cry for Dr. Holmes, and a little man was drawn forward not unwillingly and compelled to stand in a chair where he could be seen and sing his song; and he sang in a voice high and thin, yet well modulated, this touching lay:-- Where, oh where are the visions of morning, Fresh as the dews of our prime? Gone, like tenants that flit without warning, Down the back entry of Time. Where, oh where are life's lilies and roses, Nursed in the golden dawn's smile? Dead as the bulrushes round little Moses, On the old banks of the Nile. Where are the Marys, and Anns, and Elizas, Loving and lovely of yore? Look in the columns of old Advertisers,-- Married and dead by the score. Where the gray colts and the ten-year-old fillies, Saturday's triumph and joy? Gone, like our friend po/das w)ku\s Achilles, Homer's ferocious old boy. Yet, though the ebbing of Time's mighty river Leave our young blossoms to die, Let him roll smooth in his current forever, Till the last pebble is dry. I had read

hat killeth, and what the spirit that maketh alive. When the various books of the Bible were written, or by whom they were written, no man living can tell. This is purely a matter of conjecture; and as conjecture is no certainty, it ceases to be authoritative. Nor is it of vast consequence, in the eye of reason, whether they to whom the Bible is ascribed wrote it or not; whether Paul was the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, or of any other Epistle which is attributed to him; whether Moses wrote the Pentateuch, or Joshua the history of his own exploits, or David the Psalms, or Solomon the Proverbs; or whether the real authors were some unknown persons. What is writ, is writ, and it must stand or fall by the test of just criticism, by its reasonableness and utility, by the probabilities of the case, by historical confirmation, by human experience and observation, by the facts of science, by the intuition of the spirit. Truth is older than any parchment, and would still exist

ce us by triumphantly referring to the exterminating wars recorded in the Old Testament as expressly commanded by Jehovah. It was not conclusive for us to reply, that what was obligatory once is not necessarily so now—that Christ has superseded Moses, and now forbids all war; for the answer was: If, as you assert, war is, like slavery, idolatry, and the like, inherently wrong, a malum in se, how could it be enjoined by a sin-hating God in the days of Moses, unless his moral character is mutabMoses, unless his moral character is mutable? Our answer to this is: Whoever or whatever asserts that the Creator has required, and may still require, one portion of his children to butcher another portion, for any purpose whatever, is libelling his goodness, and asserting what everything in nature contradicts. This position we believe to be impregnable. So, too, the controversies with the American church and clergy have all been forced upon us by those who love darkness rather than light, because their deeds are evil. We are not

Moses in relation to the deliverance of the captive Israelites that when he says he aims to be guided by the Golden Rule, it is no cant from his lips, but a vital application of it to his own soul, remembering those that are in bonds as bound with themwe think he is as deserving of high-wrought eulogy as any who ever wielded sword or battle-axe in the cause of liberty; but we do not and cannot approve any indulgence of the war spirit. John Brown has, perhaps, a right to a place by the side of Moses, Joshua, Cf. ante, 2.190. Gideon, and David; but he is not on the same plane with Jesus, Paul, Peter, and John, the weapons of whose warfare were not carnal, though mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.

The meeting was emotional throughout, and from the most hysterical contraband to the dispassionate judge there was no reserve or restraint in the general flow of tears. Lib. 35.76. Mr. Garrison, who was rapturously welcomed, began his address by reading Moses's triumphal song, Exodus XV., and then, for half an hour, magnetized his colored constituents, as he detailed the early history of the anti-slavery movement in America, and sang the praises of the Proclamation which had answered all their prayers. He was followed by Judge Kelley, Theodore Tilton, Judge Kellogg, Joseph Wm. D. Kelley. Hoxie, and George Thompson, the second of whom aroused Stephen Wright Kellogg. the audience most thoroughly.

nds, are cloaked by a fantastic claim of equality. If the slave States cannot enjoy what, in mockery of the great fathers of the republic, he misnames equality under the Constitution,—in other words, the full power in the national territories to compel fellow-men to unpaid toil, to separate husband and wife, and to sell little children at the auction-block,— then, sir the chivalrie senator will conduct the State of South Carolina out of the Union! Heroic knight! exalted senator! a second Moses come for a second exodus! Not content with this poor menace, which we have been twice told was measured, the senator, in the unrestrained chivalry of his nature, has undertaken to apply opprobious words to those who differ from him on this floor. He calls them sectional and fanatical; and resistance to the usurpation of Kansas he denounces as an uncalculating fanaticism. To be sure, these charges lack all grace of originality and all sentiment of truth; but the adventurous sent or does

hat were therein and the borders round about, as a burying place, and there he buried his wife; and there they buried Abraham, Isaac, Rebekah and Leah; and when Jacob had blessed his sons, he said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron. Deborah was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak, and the valiant men of Jabesh-gilead removed the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Bethshon and buried them under a tree. Moses was buried in a valley in the land of Moab; Joseph, in a parcel of ground in Shechem; Eleazer, the son of Aaron, in a hill that pertained to Phinehas; and Manassah, with Amon in the garden of Uzza. The planting of rose-trees upon graves is an ancient custom: Anacreon says that it protects the dead ; and Propertius indicates the usage of burying amidst roses. Plato sanctioned the planting of trees over sepulchres, and the tomb of Ariadne was in the Arethusian Groves of Crete. The Cata

trial of Briggs,—of authors separated by centuries within the confines of the Pentateuch alone, of false ascriptions of late laws to the holy but dimming figure of Moses, have undoubtedly helped us to regard the Bible as primarily a product of human literary and religious genius, they have also gradually changed both the conceptionor a democratic education. Many of these attempted the synthesis of the old and the new. There were those which began geographical studies with the exploration by Moses of the Red Sea; or the study of ichthyology with Jonah. Many still used the old catechetical form. Most included material of religious character, some of it in vional relapse. There were good souls who justified this type of education by recalling that Samson was a man of strength, David was ruddy of countenance, and that Moses must have been of strong physique to judge by certain incidents in his early manhood.
