Progress Of Liberal Views

We learn that on the Sd instant, tlie church and congregaüon lately under the charge of Dr. Beecher,(the Secorf Presbyterian Church inCinciunati.) voted an unanimous cali to our tried and respecled friend, Rev. J.P.Cleaveland, of Marshall. Tliis proof of confidence and csteem will be to our Anti ölovery frirnds, becauae the cali was made notwiihstandiiig his wel! known views pon the subject of sliivery, and in spite of the disintert sted efforts of somo f rom abroad to create n prejudice against him on ilint account. - Tlie situction is one of the most mportnnt in the Western country. We have not loarned thut Mr. C. has come to any conclusión in reisrence to the proposed cbnnge in his locnlion. Should he conclude to leave us, we doubt not ie will continue to manifest the same manly and energetic opposition to the whoJe system of elovery which he has displnycd amon U6. Andfince we have mcutioned his name n this c nnec t op, we will say, that his 6traight forward course on this subject has gained him a degree of respect nnd confidence from his felJow citizens cfenerully, which cannot be atlained by that cJass of pubüc epcakerc, whellu r laymen or clei"L.rymci). who try to maintain a jion-committal attitudo, who cannot teil whether the pyslcm of Slavory is of celestial or infernal origin, or who apologizc for the abomination on account of the 'errcumstunceö under which it is Hnvolunta nlj perpetraled. Mr. C, beforo lárge Budiences, has expressed his convictions thüt tbis systrm of wickedness and crueHy is from ihe Devil; and he reg.irds jit as one of the rent obstncles to the progress of pure religión, wliich comes loomingr up from i'.s infernal birtli place to curse tlio ■caitli, to relnrd the progresa of univrrsal bolines?, and to prevent tlie recognition of man's eqnality of rights. On this great and fundnincntiil qtiestixn there can be no neu'.ral grotind. Gentlemen tnayshów their learning and logica! acumen by attemptjnf lo draw iiice distructions, and propnnnd acule casuistical qiioilions; bvl nn tlnse the baltic unll nol be decided. Tliose who amuse themsolves in tlus way can enjoy the Ealisfaetion resnltir.g fiom thcir profound inves'isfations: but tlioy will exert littlo infliiéiice in the great stnigirle that is marshalüng; between Liberty nnd Slavery. Pubüc attrntion connot be called orT by sniall collateral issues. The great quëstion is, 'Is iavehoiili right or wrong?' Tlie quëstion presses itself on the minds of miU liona of Ireemen, nnd ere long they will ren der a verdict which will swep it froHi the land. The nnrnes of tliore wlio hnvo nobly contended for the rightá of man, and the hon or of Christinnity, will then be had in reverencejwiiile the imbecüe and puerile course of lliocc who pppnt the peiiod of tin's conteat in inefficiënt eííbrts to niake Slavery and Liberlv amalgainate in a'l their relijrious and politica! relations, will either bc forgotten, or their :hildisfi attempts to compromise trut and rigl!foiisncs.,will beciied as lamentable proofs of the folly and mbeciiTiy' which rmy be disp'ayrd, even by meu standiiig high in public ■e&tiinatioi).ft?3 They have had another mob in Cincinnnti. A Lonismnn planter, whilomc n C.ncinnn(i mechnnic, brought into t!ie city a frmale slnve, oged nine yearf, the mulallo chi)d of his Jiouspfceeper,' as he described her. Siie became lecally free, by bcing brought nto the State by her tmster. She leit his service, and he ofFored SBöO revvard for her in the papers and by hand bilis. He cniployed the town crier to cali a icnvn meeting, which iie nddressed hiir.self, setting forth hisgnevances. Amobwns orgnnized, which-bnUered up the doors and windows of onc Burnet, who liad had no concern in the c.-ipe of the slave. - The mol) wne put down by the mavor a:id civil anthorities. The abo!itionits did nothing wrong or illegnl. Tlie slave was legully free. Tliis the matter knew, und thererbre p?eferreu aresort to mob Jaw, rath er than to the civil !aw, 05a Jndge Maftocks, the Whig candidate for Governor of Vcnnont, wriles to the Voice o{ Freedom, that ihe stutrment in the Tribune ttüit he is an "unwavering', uncompromising frieud of Henry Clay" is not true. He is not, nnd nevor has been commiüed lo any particular PresiJenlial cáíididute, but wil! support Mr. Clay iDhë be thechoice of the ptfrtv. The Judge sa's th.it he is an abolitionist. and nnd alo a Whig, and ehould prefor a candidate that nniled holh qualifications;bul if such cannot be found, and it is morally ccr(;iin that a Democratie candidate will be elected if Mr. Cluy 'm not, heshal! vote for Mr. Clny. He had ratlier bestow his vote where there is a prospect o electing a candidate who is partly riyrht, thnn by throwing it away, help elrcl one who is icholiy wrong, agtoeably to the common niaxim, "uf two evils chooseihe lens!," and he solemnly believog he shall protni)te the cause ot humanity by so doing. The Jndge mry 0nd l ha'j if his vote up givon for Mr. Cliiy, it will boas eífectnally uthrovn nwny" as though it had been bestowcd on Mr. Birney. {Cr1 Tlie Editor of the Albany Patriot says of the colored populution óf Ciliada: "The cnlored people of Canada nre making moro vnpid progrc=s in wealth. inlelligence ond refini-ment by lar, than ihe löwer clasaea of emigror.ts from the old conniry. They nre fnrmore independent in spirit :;ind we mny iidd, much more respected by the liiirher cUssês, as we received ninple aml gratifying tcátimony, from various gentlemen of repute." - CC? The Editor of the Albany Patriot oounted SO drnnkenes in Bnflulo, in a walk of about 30 rods, nll open and doing good business on the Sabbath- .ill the keepers, doubtless endorsed by the and Common Council os 'fLood, moral men." 4CC? The Editor of the Marshall Stateaman eays he "believes therc is a coalilion bet ween Demócrata and Abolilionists to break up the Wliig party." We go for ihe largest liberty, and permit every one to believe as he pleases. But then every sensible man can render a reason for his belief. What reason can the Siatesman render? High authoiity tellsus that a coalition is a unión in"a body or mass,a com ing together, as of separate bodies or panmand their union in one body or mass." What signs of such a coilition has the Ed"tor discovercrl eitljcr in De.uocrofs or Abolitioniats? Wc have no iateation of being swallowed up by eithor party, but intend to keep ourpelves pure nnd unspotted froni them botli. And then a union with the modern, shain, ?utaneous, sentimental Democracy! Impossible!! d55 Inonr discussion with Mr. West, we have referred tn the contempt whicli the position of the General Assembly brings upon that body, and upon religión. Read the followmg sneer at Dr. Ely for being n SlaveTrad'-r. It is from the Cheiming Whig. - The same paper publiehed the resoluiion of the Assembly on dancing, and its resolution of non-actlon Bgainst slavery, together, by wny contrapt. We know notliing of Dr. Elyrs Universalism. The Rcv. Dr. Elyf the Prosbyferinn chnrch, wlio .ome 7 yrnr.s since lielc! o 3isqitssion wiih Rev. Abel C.
