SLAVERY IN KENTUCKY. ■FATHER RICES* PROTEST IN THE CONSTITTJ- TIONAL CONVENTION. From the commencement of the pres ent war, the attitude of Kentucky has attracted peculiar attention. - If her de eison to abide in connection with the old union, was a disheartening blow to the «onfederacy, her hearty and zealous committal to the cause of freedom might possibly have adjourned the crisis, if not quite extinguished the hopes of secession In view of this, the original act by which she doomed herself to prolonged sympathy with slavery, recognizing in her constitution human beings as prop erty, assumes peculiar importance. If its results —as experience has- unfolded them—could then have been spread be fore the members of the Convention, how would they have shrunk back with a shudder from, the adoption of an act by which Kentucky would be thence forth registered as a slave state ! No human eye could have'forseen the results. Human sagacity was neces sarily at fault in attempting to explore the distant future, hut there were prin ciples, fixed and stern as the truths of God’s providential government, upon which it might have based its calcula tions. And these principles were then and there boldly, eloquently and fear lessly stated. They were presented moreover by a man whose name is an honor to the Presbyterian churches in this country, and who is known in his tory as the “ Father” of the church in Kentucky. “ Father” Rice was a member of. the Convention for forming a state constitu tion. He was a native of Hanover County, Virginia. His father was a plain farmer who would not hold slaves because ho considered it unprofitable, while his mother condemned it as mor ally wrong. He was converted under Davies, and is said to have studied un der the celebrated “ Blind Preacher” of the British Spy, Dr. Waddell. After preaching in North Carolina, he was settled in Hanover as Davies’s successor in 1763. His labors here, according to his own belief, accomplished more for tho blacks than the whites. Before the Devolution ary war, he removed to “the Peaks,” and when Kentucky was open ed for s'ottlements, at the mature ago of sixty-five, ho accepted the invitation to take charge of what was rather a diocese than a parish in that new field. His ability, integrity and public spirit secured him a place among the members of the Convention of 1792, and probably no one contributed to “ its counsels a more profound wisdom, and certainly none a more devoted patriotism. As the ninth article of the constitution came up for discussion, “ Father” Bice took the floor, addressing the chairman— u Sir,” he said, in a speech which he had elaborately prepared for .the emergency, “ I have lived free and in many respects happy for near sixty years; but my happiness has been greatly diminished for much of tho time by hearing a great part of the human species groaning un dor the galling yoke of bondage.” He had lost, he said, during this time, father, mother, sisters and ; a first born son, hut all these losses had not caused half the anxiety occasioned by the wretched situation of his fellow men, whom, with , out a blush, he called his brethren. He then proceeded to discuss with a solemn earnestness the impolicy and the. injustice of slavery. Every word has the calmness, but the right also of a ju dicial sentence, oxcept when his indigna tion at wrong kindles to a glare of rep robation. In contrasting the statutes of man with those of God, he anticipates the' argument for a higher law. “ The divine law says, whom God hath joined together, let not man put asunder ; the law of man says to the master of the slave—though the divine law has joined them together, you may put them asun der when you please. The divine' law says, train up your child in the way he should go; the man says, you shall not train up your child but as your master thinks proper. The divine law' .says honor your father and mother, and obey them in all things; ljut the law of man says, honor and obey your master in all things, and your parents just as far as he shall direct you.” In this searching and forcible style does he go over the whole subject. He exposes the false and hostile relations of master and slave, the tendency of slave ry to foster dishonesty, idleness and vice, and to destroy the very sense of justice. He asserts the subordination of human legislation to the great rules of the universe, and denies the bright « to enact laws contrary to this.” He roports in an unanswerable manner the Bible arguments for slavery, and remarks in Conclusion —in words which time has m&de- prophetic—“ the slavery of no-, grdes began in iniquity; a curse has at tended it, and'Acorirse wifi 'follow it. National vices will be prinisbed with national calamities!. Jjet vices, that we may avoid the punish ment they deserve. Holding men in slavery is the national vice of Virginia; and while a part of that state, we were partakers of the guilt. As a separate state, we are just now come to the birth; and it depends upon our free choice whether we shall be born in this sin,, or innocent of it. We now have it in our power to adopt it as our national crime; or to bear a national testimony against it. I hope the latter will be our choice; that we shall wash our hands of this guilt; and not leave it in the power' of a future legislature ever more to stain our reputation or our conscience with it.” * What a crisis was that when these words were uttered? We take a just pride in tho attitude of the noble men from whose lips they fell. It was the protest by anticipation, of the Presby terian church through one of her wor thiest representatives, against complicity with an iniquity, “ attended” and “ fol lowed” by a curse. Would that those words had met the recognition to which they were entitled ? How different might have been the condition of Ken tucky, nay of our whole country to-day! A few votes probably might have modi fied the future of a great continent, and to the suffrage of-that in the -cause- jof justice, the eloquent plea of “ Father” Bice was fully entitled.. 1 THE AWAKENING IN HAVERHIIiL, I write, knowing that it would afford you much pleasure to hear of the wopk of the Holy Spirit now in progress in Haverhill, Mass., under the labors of the Bev. E. P. Hammond. He came among us the first of the year with a heart full of the love of Christ, yearning over those who were “condemned already.” -The; first week was spent jn humiliation and prayer, by the -eijght Churches who are united in the effprt. Mr. 11. held children’s meetings, which wore thronged by the little ones, eager to listen to one so deeply interested in their eternal welfare. Surely he did -not labor in vain, or spend his strength] for naught. Soon m§ny were eagerly ask ing the way of life. , I think it ha? jriot yet been estimated, how many children in this place are now singing with: the -whole heart: “ I love Jesus, yes, I do,” A very large number are giving pleasing evidence of true conversion, I! am happy to state, that although the inte.- rcst commenced with the children, it was not confined to them. The meet ings have been held, in a largo hall, It has been densely crowded with audiences of between two and three thousand, while many are disappointed in not gaining admittance.- The firgt sermon preached to adults, was accompanied by the Holy Spirit. The interest increased rapidly.. Soon | many wore inquiring what they must do to bo saved. , One evening Beuj. F. L- , a rioted gambler, came into the meeting, (not knowing it was a religious service,) and out of politeness he gave his : seat to a lady; and in the press was crowded near the preacher, Mr. H., so near ho ; dare not stay to. hear the sermon. So he pass de oat of a door near the desk, as ho after wards stated, and wont to the hotel, where he was wont to meet bis com panions in sin. While there they scoffed about the revival. He did not joinjthem but said he did think there was some thing in it after all. He remained about an hour, and something seemed to say go back to that meeting.” Hej came back, and‘the usual inquiry meeting had commenced: (He had not been to church . but;, twice in nine years.) He stood amazed,, and gazed on the clergy of the different churches who were all engaged in winning souls to >Jesus. Several spoke to him, urging him to seek the salvation of his souh He went out,‘but ,the Spirit of God was upon him. Sabbath afternoon, Mr. Harrimond hearing of his.case, sent for!him tp crime and see him. He went and found Mr! H. sick in bed, but he conversed and prayed with'him. Mr! L- prayed for himself, ahjlfriund peace in believing. He came to the Hall that evenirig, and confessed Christ before a great multi tude, and is now laboring faithfully. Mr. H. commenced .meetings in. stores and shops.- These, we believe .have been greatly blessed. Mr. L has been very active in them, always standing up for Jesus. He is about 40 years of age, and says that he feels he must do two days work , in one. Within the past week he has had the happiness of seeing his own wife brought to the Saviour. Another instance; in one of the morn ing meetings, a Wife arose, all bathed in tears, requesting prayer for her dear husband. He is a leading physician, a child of pious parent's, who have been praying for him more than forty years. In the evening he came asking prayers for himself, and-the next morning..he came rejoicing in' Christ. Soon after Mr. Hammond Came here,, a lady was converted, and three’weeks after was taken ill. She wa* informed PTTTT. A THCT .PTTT A , THURSDAY, MARCH 3, 1864. by her physician that her disease would terminate her life in a few hours. She called her husband and daughters to take (leave of thorn; she conversed until the last moment—was perfectly resigned —said she was ready an S willing to go,—she could trust her Saviour. “ She sleeps in Jesus, blessed sleep.” There are scores of instances as interesting as those to which I have referred already. Mr: Hammond labored with us three weeks-. He came to see us, worn down with protracted labors. Physicians told him he preached at the risk of his life, hut such was his great love for the cause- of Christ, and"'’undying souls, tflat he seemed utterly reckless in regard to.bis health. More than two weeks ■ have elapsed since his depar ture for Bridgeport, where he is how laboring. , Oar union meetings have beon kept up, and the interest continues. Many are inquiring the way of life. Among the number are many of the business men. It is no uncommon thing to see. them weeping like children. We ex pect to see many' of them brought into the fold of Christ. . Although w.e sadly miss the labors of -our dear brother, still we have the evidence that God, by his Holy Spirit, is in bur midst, working with mighty power. Mr. Hammond’s little singing hook, called the “ Revival Melodist,” has been introduced here, and has become very popular. It is much used in Sabbath Schools and Social Meetings., We do not; believe Mr. Hammond will be able to tear himself away frbm the great work which the Lord has begun in Bridgeport, Conn., in connection with the labors of this young evange list, so as to visit Palestine.this Spring, as he intended. Yours truly, * LETTER PROM THE POST-CHAPLAIN AT FORT DELAWARE. Fort Delaware, Feb. 22d, 1864. Dear Brother :—Yc/ur favor has been received, and for it as well as for mer ones, I thank you and-through you, the kind friend, who paid for the paper. I am glad to have the opportunity to say your paper is well suited to our wants. I find it a welcome visitor to my quarters, and always avail myself of a perusal of its contents before I let the last one go. I would rejoice if other friends would be stimulated by the example set them* in this case, and do us the same favor. l r our paper and the American Messenger are the pnly onessentto me,for a garrison of seyen or eight hundred men; the latter is sent by Rev: Mr. Gaylord, of Delaware City. The hospitals are supplied by the Christian Commission with a very large amount of papers every week. I could bo very grateful if I could secure through the liberality of friends, con tributions of books (or he means to buy them) for a post-library. We have quite a number of young men here who have had good opportunities for self-improve ment beford they entered the service, of which they -are'here deprived. Home restraints and family discipline taken off, they are exposed to danger alt every ' step, and I have no good books to put into their hands. Tell the friends of the soldiers at Fort Delaware, to send good religious and other books ; books for men, for men of sense and education —young men who werf, (and who, if they are not neglected and lost, will still bej the hope of the church, as well as of tho country. It is not enough to have a Testament and a tract to read. Think of the long hours of our Winter evenings spent in' the; soldiers' quarters ! Who wonders if our activeyoung men, fall of life and feeling, should seek imgamea and amuse ments, the mental exercise and- recrea tion which good books would afford them. And'what wonder if, in after years, their friends and the church have to weep over the moral desolation that ■ will rest as the shade of death upon the returned soldier, in the persons of these now bright and hopeful boys. As 1 write I hear the merry laugh ring ing out from their quarters, on the eve ning air, joyous and happy! The fond mrither, in the distant home, is perhaps,' just’ now kneeling in her evening prayer, invoking God’s blessing on her absent one. The father, perhaps, /alters as he reads the chapter at evening devotion, asihis eye glances at the vacant place of his boy. The pastor of youthful days, now, as he closes his Sabbath ser vices, breathes a fervent prayer for their guidance, protection and safe return. Bat the loved one is hei-e, exposed to danger; not of sword or ball, but dan ger which is increased by the absence of these. For bodily danger ,is not the only danger of the day. The soul do filed and ruined by sin; and. eqnk in' gujj|t and fshame, ida more gloority pic ture-than the mangled-body on the field' of conflict. • ■ ■■ J"' Who then- willjninister td- tbiswant of our post ? Friend Hears! charge some of wealthy friends to donate a library for the men at Fort Delaware. As ever, yours truly, E. J. Way, Post-Chaplain. Literary Items. We are glad to notice-that a second volume of Childs’ Rational Almanac (for 1864) is about appearing. That for 15153 was regarded as among the very Best publications of the sort, but Mr. Childs informs us.that it .is his de sign t<j make the issue for this year “ a decided improvement in every respect” on the last. Lies and Times or Htrss. A second edition! of this valuable work is going through the press,' Gould & publishers. We notice that the very splendid picture by Lessing, of the “ martyrdom of John Huss,” an en graving of which would have formed a mostj capital adornment to Mr. Gil . lett’s work, —has been almost cut to pieces )j certain fanatical Roman Cath olics while on exhibition at Zurich. Some ; -ears ago, the pjeture formed a pronfinsnt object in the celebrated Dus* seldorf gallery at New York. j Algir’s Critical History of the Doctrive of a Future Life, published" by Childs of this city is going through a seconi edition. Renj if. . A Volume of Essays by Re nan is about to be published.,by Chris terny ’New York. They have been translated by Bev, O. B; Frotliingba'm, (a Unitarian clergyman, we believe) with an introductory chapter on Benin, his personal "history arid his present position by Henry Diarris. Messrs. Harper & Brothers, New York, Had in a forward state of prepa ration, a fortnight ago', Capt. Speke’s “ Narrative of the Discovery of the Sources of the Nile,” to be published in octavo form, similar to “Livingston’s Travels.” Childs’ Publishers’' Circular says that complaint is made by geogra phers that Capt. Speke was content to regard Lake Nyanza as the absolute source of the Nile, without pushing ! the inquiry whether the Lake itself might not be a mere' expansion of the river. The largest river in Ireland, the Shan non, flpws through a series of four •lakes no-one of which can be regarded as the head of the stream. “The com plaint is that Capt. Speke did not go up and round the Nyanza, and ascer tain from what rivers it derived; its waters. The largest of these feeders might ifh assumed to be the Original Nile, and ought to have been traced up to its source.” Yet, on the other hknd, Lake Ontario is regarded as forming the head waiters of' the St. Lawrence River, and if the discovery of the exit of the St., Lawrence from this Lake might have been regarded as settling the'question of it 3 origin, why not, in like manner, the discovery of the - out flow of the Nile from an arm of! Ny anza ? The vast dimensions of the Lake also must be allowed due weight iri settling ; the question. One of the most carious things in Captain Speke’s volume is a small i map printed in red and blue, which stands ■near the beginning of the bpob. j The blue represents the actual state of things.' The red represents: the same country 'as depicted in certain ’ ancient flinddo documents, first published in Europe in 1801 by Lieutenant Wiiford. It is impossible to look at them wirtuout seeing that the Hindoos had excellent information upon the geography <jf the country,* The name' bf the Mpon’f is taken from the Hindoo i Hap, and the situation of the mountains so called 13 laid down, not incorrectly, while the lake system of the country is represented, not by three lakes, blit by pne large one, which is called the Lalf.e of the Gods, and which might naturally be supposed to exist by any one who shpppsed that'the Angahyika communi cated with the Victoria: JTyanza. ! Cap tain Speke supposes that in very ancient times there was a considerable i trade between Hindostan and the interior of Africa, and that this was the Source from which the authors of the map in question derived their information.' Tha; they had such information some how npone who looks at the two maps can possibly dohbt. esses.

A new monthly devoted to War Topics and especially designed to illustrate the present'struggle has just been started with 4 t6e above title. The Editorial department is under the competent supervision of Prof. Coppee. The Pub lisher’s I Circular says of the first number: “ The articles are well varied, interesting and instructive; the single piece of poetry is a gem, which will, we are sure, be re-set in many collec tions; the Editorial matter is scientific, well digested, and yet of popular com prehension ; the Literary Intelligence clever and in good taste, and the Offi cial Information new and valuable.” It is published by C.

Circular we dip the following miscellany: Among the luxurious,gift books lately published in Paris, the Don Quixote is sued. by Messrs. Hachette & Co., is a marvellous work. They spent- $40,000 on it, and they really have, produced a work as near perfection as can . be. These publishers are just now in a di lemma about a highly objectionable phrase which occurs in a work of the celebrated Edmond About, in their hands,, printed,. stitched and . nearly raedy for publication. The objection able phrase is said to ’be an expression even more blasphemous than witty. M. About would not be a-Frenchman if he consented to sacrifice the point of an epigram;for religious decency; and it is said that he positively objects to allow his publishers to pour ink over the sentence.: Messrs. H. enjoy a mo nopoly of book ’ stalls at the Eailroad Stations in France. They have also an establishment in London and thought of opening a branch- house in Mew York, before the war broke out. A few weeks'ago the city of Berlin award ed the prize long before offered to dra matic poets for the best ode on Schiller to Herr F. Hebbelj of ; Vienna..
