Two of the leading spirits in the re cent pro-slavery New School Presbyterian Convention, at Kicbmond, opposed a Union with the old School body. Their tibjec tion?,as regards the Slavery issue, are thus reported : Kev. Dr. Ross. The old School mnst adopt the views of this body on the sub ject of Slavery. There arc but three the ories on the subject of slavery, namely : 1. The Sin Theory. 2. Tbo Toleration Theory. 3. The Ordained Theory. The first is the theory of the abolition ists, and maintains that Slavery is contra rJ ,0 'ue eternal principles of right and wrong, as laid down in the Bible. The : ,. . ,i. ,. -., i r aDSWOr ,l,lt U'er0 ,S Pr,clP,e of right and wrong apart from the will of God. rpie socon,! theory is, that Slavery is . . . , , ,. . 1'"CJ to the ertni mi master, to the slave, and to tbo j "'""J "'S ! According to this theory, the master is . . 1 . ; nil aI1 outcast nor a subject of pity, but i . , ,, , . , I ,hc representative of Ou,l in a tjreal work of bractolcHct. Tbo Toleration Theory is the Old School view, and he did not now wish to join that body. He went on to define the position of the slaveholder and his right, and expressed , daJ3 'UDS suDm.t to tne Jot I Tl.... ; "tv" Kev. Da.

Dr. Boyd's speech was delivered with great power, and made a marked impres sion upon the Convention, lie announced, with great boldness, the extreme Southern doctrine on the subject of slavery, andde fended it with all his ability and earnest ness. His ground is precisely that of Dr. llos?, viz. that the only true and defensi ble view of slavery is, that it is an insti tution Divinely ordained. He said, in plain terms, that he could have no choice between this position and that of ultra ab olition. He must bo cither a pro-slavery dc fender, or a Northern abolitionist, f From present appearances the Old School will not receive any portion of those schismatics no less they come in "through the door," and adopt their own distinctive doctrines and practice in full.J Prcfibyterlanlsni, n. Slavery. The following is the unanimous De claration of the Presbyterian Church of the U. S. of America (before Division) in ISIS, as wc find it in Helper's "Impen ding Crisis of the South," and referred to by Rev. Dr. Boyd : "We consider the voluntary enslaving of one part of the human race by another, as a gross violation of the most precious and sacred rights of human nature, as ut terly inconsistent with tbe law of God, which requires us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and as totally irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of tbe Gospel of Christ which enjoins that all things what soever ye would that men should do to yon do ye even so to tbem. . We rejoice that tbe Church to whicb we belong commenced as early as any other in this country the good work of endeav oring to put an end to slavery ; and that in tbe same work, many of its members have ever since been aud now are among the most active, vigorous and efficient la borers. We earnestly ex hort them to continue, and if possible in crease their exertions, to effect a total ab olition of slavery." . i i .l ISTNext year, will male forty years since this Declaration was made, The O.

Packer was a member of the State Senate of Pennsylvania, and voted with the strongest Temperance men on most if not all Temperance issues. We do not wish to bring tbe Temperance question itself into politics. But it is right to exhibit how he stood in 1852, aud how he stands in 1857. We cnt the following from a recent Lock Haven Watchman, in order to show that contrast fully and fairly : j "That he General Packer has ignored his former principles on the Temperance question, and that, too, since he has be come a candidate for the office of Govcr nor,let the following letter from a staunch old Democrat of Pbiladelphia, who is re sponsible for what he says, and wbo,beiug disgusted with the deception that Packer is eudeavoring to practice upon the liquor and anti-liquor men of tbe State, answer. It is a private lettcr,but we hope our friend will pardon us for thus using it : Pm la dklpiii a, Aug. SO, 1857. D. S. Dunham, Lsq., Lock Haven, Fa.: lhar Friend It has just come out, thai Gen eral Vjt.F.lAcKE came to Philadelphia alter his nominauou, and was exceedingly anxious to make his peace with the 'Liquor League' oo account of his Prohibitory votes. Through his fi irntls, be formed the acquaintance of Juaw M'Mahow, a hotel-keeper near (he Dela ware, above Market street, who is the Presi dent ol the League, and was by him initiated and is now a member of that League. What a contrast between Packer as a Senator, and Packer as a candidate for Governor! W ho can trust bira ! Yours, truly, "Yes, who can trust bim ? We can an swer, no honest man. What! The honest citizens of the old Kcystoue State trust a man who, after advocating aud voting for a stringcut Liquor Law, turns arouud as Boon as he wauts the votes of the liquor mcn, makes the acquaintance of tbe leader of that party which he formerly opposed, and begs for admission into the Liquor League, and in some cellar, with a caudle I dimly burning in an empty brandy bottle, i in that dark, damp place, with a man who ' is the living embodiment of the principles ! which he has heretofore opposed, and there, i in the dead of night, with but few, save his God, to behold bim, solemnly swears ' to abjure all bis former acts on this point, for the sake of a few paltry votes ! What : a humiliating spectacle, to witness tbe as-, pirant for tho Gubernatorial Chair of tbe great State of Pennsylvania, thus fore swearing himself, getting down in the dirt and filth of a liquor cellar, and repudiate bis past acts by swearing fealty to the prin ciples of tbe Liquor League, in the remote bope that by securing their votes be may be elected Governor 1 After this act of bis, tbo question may well be asked who can trust him T We can not, nor do we believe any honest, apright, candid man can." This charge of the Watchman we have not seen denied. We now ask, in all can dor, can a man wbo thus violates all con sistency, all tbe past acts of bis life, in order to obtain office, be entrusted with the discharge of the duties of the chief magistracy of tbe State J Can temperance meu trust one who thus betrays his devo tion to the principles for the sake of an election ! Can liquor mcn trust one who thus tries, by eleventh-hour promises, to obtain their votes f A Singular Coincidence. Sir : Your leader of last evening, on Slavery in Kentucky, reminds me of one incident connected with the adoption of the present State Constitution, whicb, I believe, is not generally known, but pos sesses no little historical interest. The fact was communicated to me on a recent visit to Kentucky, by a gentleman of high standing and influence. It will be remembered, that, in the Con vention which amended the original Con stitution of 1709, a gradual emancipation clause was lost by a single vote. Gen. Breckenridge, the grandfather of the Vice President, was a member of that Conven tion, and voted against tbe proposition. Tbe General represented Mr. Clay's old district, and was elected in opposition to him by a majority of about five votes. By tbe Constitution under which that election was held, free negroe?, owning a certain amount of freehold property, were allowed to vote. There were, in one por tion of tbe district some teven negro voters, all of whom cast their suffrage for Gen. Breckinridge; and thus it may be said, :. L. 1 .1. .L. .L. 1 m 1- . 1 . wiiii uuiu, tuai iuv slaves ui ia.cutu.CKy at j the present day owe their bondage to j their own people. For it is well known that Mr. Clay, wbo ran against Gen. I Breckinridge, was at that time an eman cipationist, and that tbe cm test was con ducted on tbia issue. The fact may be placed alongside of tbe recent course of Rev. Dr. Ross, of Tcnne see son of an emancipated slave in the New School General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Cor. N. T. Eve ning Post. Distressing Suicide.

Wreck ( the Central America. , Statement of Henry Jf. Ckilds. Savannah, Sept 18. Henry U. Child's, one of the rescued passengers, states that tbe Central America left Ha vana on tbe 8th inst, having had de lightful weather and a calm sea from As pinwall to that port. On the afternoon of the day of sailing from Havana, we had a fresh breeze, and on Wednesday it blew very strong. . At night it increased, and rained in torrents. On Thursday the wind blew a hurricane, and the sea ran very high. On Friday tbe storm raged with uuabated fury, and at 11 o'clock, A. M., it was first known among the passen gers that the steamer bad sprung a leak, and was making water fast A line of men was 'formed who wcut to work in bailing the water from bcr engine room, the fires having been already extinguished by tho furnaces being overflowed. We gained upon it so much tbat the firemen were enabled to get up steam again, but this continued for only a few minutes, when the fires were again extinguished, and the engines were abandoned. The bailing, however, was continued in all parts of tbe vessel, and kept np until she finally went down. During the night, tbe water gained considerably, but all being in good spirits, we worked to the best of our ability, feeling that when morning came we might possibly speak some vessel and be saved. Tbe fatal Saturday came at last, but brought nothing but an increased fury of tbe storm. Still we worked on. About 2 o'clock, P. M., the storm lulled a little and the clouds broke away, so that our hopes were renewed, and we all worked like giants. At 4 o'clock, P. M., we spied a sail and fired guns. Our flag be ing at half mast it was seen, and the brig Marine, of Boston, bore down npon us. We then considered our safety certain. She came near and we spoke to her, and explained our condition. She laid to about a mile distant, and wc, in only three of tbe boats, saved all the women and children, and they were safely put on board tbe brig. As evening was fast approaching we dis covered another sail, which responded to our call, and came near us. Capt. Hern den told our crippled condition, and asked tbem to lay by, and send a boat, as we bad none left Sbe promised to do so, but this was tbe last we saw of her, ex cept at a distance, which grew greater every moment At 7 o'clock, we saw no possibility of keeping afloat much longer, although if we couid do so until morning, all would be saved in a short time. A heavy sea for the first time broke over ber upper deck, and our hopes faded away. Life preservers were then furnished to the pas sengers, and we sent np two rockets. A tremendous sea then swept over us, and the steamer in a moment went down. I thiuk tbat some foor buodred or four hun dred and fifty souls wero launched npon the ocean, at the mercy of tbe waves. Tbo storm at this time had entirely subsi ded. We all kept near together, and went as the waves took us. There was nothing, or very little said, except each one cheered, and courage was kept op for two or three hours; and, I thiuk, for that space of time, none bad drowned. But those who could not swim, became exhausted, and ono by one gradually passed into eternity. The bope that boats would be sent to us from the two vessels we bad spoken to, soon fled from us, and our trust was alone ! in Providence; and what better trust could you or I ask for. I saw my com rades fast sinking, and at 1 o'clock that night, I was nearly alone upon the ocean, some 200 miles from land. I, however, heard shouts from all that could do so, tbat they were not far from me, but I could not see them. Within an hour from this time I saw a vessel, and judged about one mile from me. Taking fresh courage, I struck out for tbe vessel, and reached it when nearly exhausted, but was drawn on board by ropes. It proved to be a Norwegian barque, from Balixe, Hondu ras, bound for Falmouth, England. I found on board of her some threo of my comrades, and at nine o'clock tbe next morning, we bad forty-nine noble fellows on board, and these are all I know of hav ing been saved. We cruised about tbe scene of disaster, until wo thought that all alive bad been rescued, and then aet sail. We fonnd the barque abort of provi sions, and tbe crew living on grucL We bad some tea and coffee to refresh our selves, and at noon on Sunday spoke this American barque, (tbe Saxony) bound for Savannah, who supplied us with provisions and took five of us on board. Our names are B. U. Ridley, of Maine; Jabet Haines, of San Francisco; Samuel W. Look, of Maine; Adolph Frederick, of Saa Francisco, and Henry H. Childs of New York. The Norwegian barque then set sail for Charleston, with tbe balanee of the forty-nine passengers. Their names, un fortunately, I can not give. Tbe few I recollect are, Capt Badger, of Baltimore ; Mr. Frazicr, second officer of tbe Central ESTAIiMSUED IN At $1,50 Per America; It F. Brown, of Sacrauici.to; ; Billy Bireb, of the San Francisco Min-i strels ; A. J. Easton, of Sao Francisco ; j and Fletcher Augufta, of Maine. There is also a lad saved, some seven year old, whose mother was with the otb-1 er ladies placed on board the brig. j P. S. There were three pissengors that . got into the boats tbat saved the women , and children, which were known to me. ! Their names are Mr. Priest, tf Long Is- , land; Thomas Payne, of StamforJ, Cou- j necticut, and a Mr. Jones. For the Lewiaburg Ch row tele. Tbe True Americans' Sons;. Aix "Deareat Mae."

T for twenty years an intelli gent citizen of the United States, burn in Ireland) complains, through tbe Ltuxrwe Union, that, while the votes of the natu ralized citizens go for tbe so-called Demo cratic party, yet, tbey never give them any good offices. A large number of the nat uralized Germans of Cleveland have pub lished a similar complaint, stating in con clusion tbat for the present tbey shall not vote the Democratic ticket These are men of education and reflection, and begin . to see tbat they have been only ued as ! "hewers of wood and drawers of water" by men wbo care only for their vntes. They begin to see tbat "Democracy" is only an empty name, and tbat Democrats are not necessarily their friends because they profess to be. This looks sensible. Let our adopted citizens act intelligently and independently not be bought and sold in herds like cattle and Know No thingism will expire for want of food to live upon. (Our adopted citizens roust blame themselves, that, three years ago, they rejected tbat most excellent Whig candidate for Canal Commissioner, George ' Darsis born in Scotland and voted (whea warned of the fact) for tho Know Nothing Democratic nominee, Henry S. Mott. The Democracy only laugh at tbem for their folly in voting thus '.) Eternity. "Eternity has no gray hairs !'' The flowers fade, the heart withers, man grows old and dies ; the world lies down iu the scpulcber of ages, but lime writes no wrin kle on tbe brow of eternity. Eternity ! stupendous thought ! The evcrpresent, unborn, uodecaying, aud un dying the endless chain, compassing the life of God tbe golden thread, entwining tbe destinies of the universe. Earth has its beauties, but time shrouds them for tbe grave; its honors, are but tbe sunshine of an hour ; its palaces, are but as the guilded sepulcher ; its possessions, are toys of ebangiug fortune ; its pleasures, are but bursting bubbles. Not so iu tbe untried bourne. In the dwelling of tbe Almighty, can come no foot9teps of decay. Its day will know no darkening eternal splendors for bid the approach of night. Its fouutaius will never fail ; they are fresh from the eternal throne. Its glory will never wane, for there is the ever present God. Its harmonies will never cease; exhaustlcss love supplies the song. One More fcflorl.' Tbe following extracts are from letters from D. R. Atchison, recently published in the Charleston Mercury . "My only hopes for Ktntas are in the border counties nf Missouri. "If ourdclegatcs to the Convention shall refer tho Constitution to the registered vo ters for ratification, then arc will ratify the Constitution.

A slow fire should be made under the t tlo which should be of brass, ur imu li better of copper and tbe juice should n it be allowed to boil until tbe green srum has all bMn tiken off. Lime water may b osed to aid in c'arifying and to neutral z : the acid ; the exact quantity is not yet de tcrmincd,but to every five gallons of juice, say, from one to two tea-spoonsful of pow dered lime, or the same dissolved in water, and strained, before being put into tbo juice. When all the green scum bas been removed, the fire may le increased, and the juice boiled down until nearly as thick as common molasses in hot wcatber,wbcn, if intended fr syrup, it should be removed from the fire, for this completes the pro cess. If intended for sugar, it should bo allowed to boil longer, and until it will "string into threads," or present an appear ance of being sufficiently boiled to grain, when it should be thrown off into trough.', or coolers, at once. I am not able to give exaet information in regard to the time it should be boiled to crystalize readily. Further experiments will determine. If made into sugar, it should be removed from tbe coolers to casks with boles bore 1 in tbem, so that tbe molasses may drain off aud leave the sugar dry, as it should be. These casks are generally placed on tim bers, with a cement cistern underneath to bold the drippings, or molasses. After remaining in tbo "purgery" until suffi ciently drained, it comes out fit for sale,or use. James F. C. Hyde's B-juI:. Chinese Sugar Cane. Wo were shown FriJay a sample of m -lasses made from the syrup of tbo Sugar Cane, raised by E. L. Moore, of Mount Joy. He states that he planted about four thousand canes on a quarter of au acre of ground, and from each cane he got one half piut of syrup. Taking 16,0th) cane, on au acre, there would be 1,000 gallons of syrup. From his experience, it takes about eight gallons of syrup to make one gallou of molasses; thciefore, from one acre of cane, one hundred and twenty-five gallons of molasses can bo wasmsq. 1 will ee illy La aecn from the above estimate, that it is far mire rrmi nerativj f r farmcia to raise (he cane aud from it make molasses, than to raise com or wheat. Besides, the stalks, after they havo been used, can be fed to the cattle, which relish tuem much more than corn ; besides these, are more nutritious. Tho syrup shown us bas a fine flavor and is equal to the best molasses. As this ha been tbe first attempt that Mr. Moore hat made, it is not as clear as the best molas ses. Several farmers around Mr. Monra have planted the cane with the same re sult and some have been more successful than be has. Lmcaster Times. MvUescu freni Indian Corn. George S. Kintzi, at Exeter township, Berks county, called at the office of the Reading Gjzttte a day or two ago with two samples of syrup, or molasoes, one made from the Corn, and the other from Chinese Sugar Cane. Tbe first was of tbo eolor and consistence of tbe best molasses, and had a pleasant, sweet flavor. Mr. Kantzi look eight corn stalks, cut off at the root at the ear, crushed them in a ei der mill, and pressed the juice out with his bands. A quart of sap was thu ob tained, which, after boiling thirty min utes, yielded one pint of beautiful syrup. The Chinese Sugar Cane was subjected to the same process, and yielded about tho same quantity of syrup, but not so thick nor of so fine a flavor as that made from the Common Indian Corn. The success of Mr. Kintzi's experiment should induce others (o try it upon a larger scale. It would a great thing if the corn stalks, which the farmer has heretofore regar ded as of little) value, could be niado to yield, with so little trouble, molasses suf ficient to keep bim ia "swect'niu' " tie year 'rouud.
