Trefe are many such men as the one described be'.ow by ihe editor of the Clarion of Freedom, living inthaSlave States, and are the o'wrvers of slaves. - We aro inf'ormed by sl'aveholders themselves, that the hardest task-inasters in tha South are the descendan's of the; Purilans. Not longsince we adJressed a conventioü, over which presided a man who makes his that hn sok!, in N. Carolina, n Baplist for fificen hundred dollars. He turned pa!e an:l shook like Belsbazzer while vc dcnounced slaverjnnd all dealers in human flesh. Go through our Atlantic commercial towns and cities.and you will fincl thousands of these men who have rctired tu luxuriate upon the wealth tney have got by traiïïeking in the bodiesand soulsof their fellow tnsn. Many of tliem piofessto be Christians, while tiiey are living upon theft and robbñry. - True Democral .. "Ou our return from BuíTilo, vvo fell in company -with a Mr. McGowan of Mississippi, who somc twelve yearssince left Cushocion county, in this State, and emigrated to h;s present home, where he has the proud satisfnction of masterinjj more than 80 slaves. VVhata raise! He has expericnced a hope since he went there, and many of his slaves are hopeful'y converted. He said he owned tico preachers. God gives his ministers a commission to "go into all the world and preach ihe gospel to every creature." Wonder if Mr. McGowan would let the Almighty send his ministers up into Canada to preach! If he will let them go, we will usure them a 'cali.' IIow ridiculous ! A church niember owning two preachers! Pretty well oíT, to be sure, Mr. McGowan. If they were to preach "(.-eliverance to the caplice and Libirtij to ihom that are bruised,' ws .siippose l,e woulJ ichip his preachers. Yes, (his Christian wonld whip Je.su?, in the porson of his servant, f 'the spirit of the Lord God ' should he upon him, constraining him lo preach good liJings un(o the meek. filis man, A. W. McGowan, s a Presbvtkrian ! VVhat a pity t is ihat Prcsbyterians s'iould be RufTered to kidnap Ood's ministers, and place them under the !nsh of a lask masler, to be driven lo unrequi'.ed tol. Bu'. Mr. M. infonned uslhnthis preacliers ere Mcthodifls. O shame ! MetlrjJist prcichers bovghl 7p, lo be used up, or icorkcd up into lobaeco at:d cof.on. We wonder our Methodist bre'Jiren don't rebel ag;rn;t the PresbytertiHis for using thetr r.iini-tors so. O, no.ver tnind, iliey are mnicheri, it' nM tnofe tlian nraichcd, for Metlwdjsts solí Presbyterians, and tlrive l'nem to market, likesheep lo the slnughler. Whaí a cLirioui kind of religión ihese folks have.' C5 We hnve received t!ie flrst numbef ofthe "Albntross," a new Liberty paper just commenced a! Piltsburgh by C. P. Shims. We like 'ü3 lypogmphícal nppearance much, r.nJ i's editorfala read riglit. The f.llwjng ihoughts in one of them are just and seasonablo : "We liold lo the tnaxim tbat "ho thal is not against is is on oiir pnrt," and for this renson we have a warm regard for n'l who are in nny way aiding ihe cause of Freedom. We have no ympatliy wilh the spirit which induces men, to denounce all who difTer from them, ns ds- honost. This is a very corrrmon fiuli. and further it may be observed, that persons who are laboring wilh great zcal irf aparticularciiu.se show that peculiar species of jenlousy whicli has given rise lo the proverb, ihat 'lwo of a trade can never ngree' - they display the greafest enm;ty toward t lióse who are nenrest lo them in opinión. Even an approach to suclv a weakneps shouíd be avoided. Tliere ore many persorra vylia are striving to overthrow slovery, nnd yet diñer iii many ays from the Liberty party, and will have no connection wirh if. Nov,wh!e regrerting ihat tliese men do not see as wc se?, we can sympathise willi them when ihey express senliments hieh are fn accordnnce vvith our o.vn. All ihis we can do without becoming tainted, nthe slightpst, what we believe lo be their errors, - without giving them any eucnuragempnt lo continue m iheir false posilion, and without allowing them to Pirget for an instant lliat we are firmly opposed to their unwise policy. We fuel justified in bonsting that the Liberty Parly, as a mnss, has a proper fceüng upon this subjpcl. Ce r tai ni )" wlioe-ver does not exercise such a simple oharity is in great danger of becoming a babbling fanaiic." Organic Vibkator. - An English surgeon has jnvented mi extrnordinary poweri'ul r mn'il insf rumen!, called the Organio Vibrator, for deafness, aau! lo surpass any thing of the kind hitherto produced ; it is moddled to lho car, so that it rests within without projocting; being of tlie same color astheskin, it is not perceptible. The powersof ibis valuable invention are said to be so grent as to bring cry defective hearingol' long standing to its perfect and natural staie, arwi to enable deaf persons to enjoy general converfration, to liear distínclly at cluirch, at ihe bar, and at public assembües ; the un. plf.saiu ensalion of singing: noises in their cars is entirely removed, and it alfords to individúala afTected with this dreadful ra;ilady, ni! thfi assittance Vha 'possibly could be desired.
