In pursuance to a call Of the friends
of the Republican Cause, the friends
of Humanity assembled at the IMuse
of Ames Northrop, Sept. 23. Tice
.7.1.-eeting was called to order by S. S.
'Rocco, when Thaddeus Stone, Esq.,
was called to the chair and T. A.
Watrous appointed Secretary. S. S.
Rose() was called on to state the ob
ject of the meeting, which he did after
making a few very appropriate re
marks upon the outrages committed
by a vile set of Missourian outlaws,
uPon free presses and unuflending
citizens of Kansas. The-meeting then
proceeded to appoint a Committee on
Resolutions. S. S. Russo, Charles
Howard, and A. Northrop were ap
poiuted, and repprted the following
tesolu ions•
Whereas, the present National Ad
inirrisu deliberately. outraged the
Anti-Slavery sentiment of the Nui th,
in the repeal of the time-honored
Missouri Compromise; and by its
refusal to protect the inhabitants ofd
Kansas agaufst the outrages and en
croachments of Missouri desperadoes,
has shown itself nu less weak than
Wicked; and whereas, no political or
ganization now in existence can he
relied on for redress of those wrong:,
and for proteCtiun against future ag
glessions ofthe slave power, therefore,
Resolved, That in view of the pres
ent state cf affairs in our country,
un organiziition 'of the ilepublican
Party is indisteosable to the present
and !inure well-being of Ituirmuity.
Resolved, That we will put on the
armor of our political warfare, and .
misheath our rusty swords in the
cause of Liberty, and will never re
turn them to their scabbards,
liberty shall be enjoyed' by all the
inhabitants of our wide domain.
Resolved, That the resolutions of'
this incoming b.e Loadislied. in the Peo
ple's• Jour:zal.
The meeting then nominated a town
Committee consisting of live mem
bers: Chas. Howard, S. S. Rosco,

We find in the'Anti-Slavery, Stand
ard, a partial report of a Sermon de
livered by the Rev. W. H. Furness.
at Philadelphia, on • Sunday last, from
which we extract. the following pass
age:
" The present generation, no doubt,
will ridicule, and reject • the gift, and
revile, for instance, the unbending, in
tegrity and . larg e humanity to which
our noble friend now in prison cling.
at the price Of personal liberty, falsely
attributing his.uprightness to an in
sane passion fnr martyrdom ! He i:
human, and it may be, as our judges.
putting off the dignity of their Statiuti,
most unworthly- insinuate, that out
friend is actuated by this folly ; but
the e is nothing in his.characterototh
ing in his recent course, that authorize:
them to make any such insinuation.
It may he, too--I believe before God
1
that it is so, and all who know him be."
lieve likewise—that he has been and
is still actuated by the purest motives,
that. - the spirit.of'l tuth and Humanity
ways him Ittud that I hold to be the
very spiiit_prflud.' How, then, will
it lure with those who have put him in
prison, and who keep laid there, and
ivho . .a re thus.fighting- against God ?
' But what confession is it of insensibil
.lty to the worth of Freedom:and Itight
eousuess when men cannot understand
what our friend has done-cannot ex
plain his conduct but by res u rtiug to
the supposition that he craves to be a
martyr, and is so madly ,bent upon
eunzpicnons that he rusks into a
prt.uat to auia that ennuence
'th .;re, then, no. power, no inspiration
in tt.e love ofliberty, in the simple dic
tates of humanity and.integiity, to en,
able u man to confront prisons fur their
sake ?.
"I3ut although we .of :the present
hoursefuse the gift of God to uur own
loss and shame, posterity witl accept
it with acclamations. We and our
rulers and uur judges stupefied by the
deadly poison yvitn ,whic,ll the slave
Power has besotted ourhumanity, may
suffer Passmore . - Willianisom _to lie
there in his cell till death sets him free.
But. no palace on earth eyer eheine as
•that.cerl will shine in the eyes of those
who come after us, made beautiful as
it is by the. simple presence of h hu
mane Mid upi ight man. He has be
come now an historical person. Heaven
is teachihg us through him, and what
immortal lessons! We may learn,
instance, fr om this case of our
iend and brother how a • piisuncr,
that it is imsain to excuse ourselves
fromSendering what service - Ive may.
to God and rnan upon the plea that
we are humble, privute individuals,
with no Mlvantage of plisitiun or bilk- .
enee. The plea has no force Waft the
Eternal Providence. That ctim,ses
its instrionents and ag ents from among
the humble and übscute. It was the
last thing that our frieed thought of—
it is the last thing; I will answer fur it,
that lie desired, ever to make himself
ctinspictions. fie thought only of dts
charging faithfully a plain, human
duty, and in the Providence at
the performance of that duty in,tantly
becomes a gate, flung wide open,
whereby he enters and ascends . tif.a
position seen of all Men. It becomes
the means whereby he-is at once made
a public person, with interests of it:-
describable importance, with the wel
fare of this great cinintry, the emanci
pation of the African lace, the cause
of Freedom Universal, the dearest
hopes of the world, resting upon noon,
invelved in his fidelity. 1 have no fear
that that fidelity will swerve a Single
hair's breadth. He' will justify his
position, be assured of that. 1 would'
to God 1.. were only halt as well as
sured that we shall justify our posi
tion also as.Caristiaas, as men, as citi
zens of a. Free Sate. U ! fur the open
sense, for the seeing eye,.. for the
hearing ear, that we may discern
the warning signs of the times, that
our loins may -be girt about, and our
lamps trimmed acid burning, that we
may meet the events that: ate coming,
the 'great crisis, of the mighty conflict
between Light alai Darkdess, Liberty
and O i Tression, which is slowly but
certainly approaching. which no man
can escape, and which will try emery
man to his inmostssoul."

TYPOGRAPHICAL MISTAKES
We remember to have heard the siory of a
wor.hy divine who - once proceeded a pii!pit
d,coursc by a prayer witch opeued in the
fo.mwmg y.e; "Oh s Lord ! pro.ect and
mess . a.i C.asNes of thy peopm, from .he beg
g .r uu .he throuo .o die king ou ;he dung:lM
—we mean, Oh, Lord! from .he king on die
dmaghia to .he beggar on the throne." The
donme haunter ut .he reverend c.ergyman
tv.t never reciziled more forcimy to our feen,-
.ecliolt than on takaig up a copy of me Com
mercial, yes.erday, iu which %.e had nude an
attempt to, correct a comical blunder of the
previous d .y, when the types ,liad nude us
speak of the "Riau:anal Sidney Smith, the
gremest wit of this country," insmad of the
••
Reverend Sydney Solidi, the gremest wit of
.its century." In what was intended to he
.he correction, the second and worst error
way aemany repeated.
The above is as striking a specimen as has
come' under our observa.ion since a coup:e
which were o.rered to the pubic some years
since; illiough the . 00:11111113 of the Frank:in
Register. -That paper pub,ished an add, ess
by the Rev. Mr: Abbott,Upott a stkect Which
I do no: now remember.• The following day . .
.he editor, afer bitterly rai:ing, at the care
.essnesS of one of his " devils," added the fol-,
:owing errattunt " For ' 011111 swizzle,' the
reader will p,ezise supply prominence.' "
This was bad enough, but it was followed,
a , few driys aferward, by the correc:ion of
the following typograph,cal bonder:
"In au advertisement whLh appeared in
our last issue, for Butubleteries storm destroy
ing porringers,' read Hamilton's worm de
s,roying lozenges.'"
But there are blunders cornmitted'occesion•
illy for which editors and not compositors
are responsib.:e. Faulkner, who edited. in
former days, the
.Dublin Journal, and who
.vas excessively subservient to those "high in
glace," once published a glowing description
qf- the arrival and reception in Dublin of a
highly distinguished member of the British
uobi,ity. On the next day his paper contained
the following Hibernian "correction :"
i
' Her Grace theDuke,' in yesterday's Journal,
read ' His Grace the Duchess." '—Buffalo Ad:
rertiser.

SABBATH SCHOOL PLC-XLC..
On 'September 30th, the Sabbath
Schools of the town of Harrison met
for the purpose of holding - a pic-nic'
at Mr. Judd's barn, near Harrison
-The. Morning dawned with
peculiar- loveliness and beauty. Na
ture seemed ready and waiting to
participate in- the - joyens festivities of
the day and Occasion. About 10
o'clock, --1.. - M., the teachers with their
various classes, parents, children and
friends, assembled at the - place ap
pointed; and after much e ‘ rranging
and real ranging, the service was
opened by the children singiog
beautiful hymn, and prayer by Rev.
Mr. • Armstrong, after which we re
ceived u hearty welcome from two of
the buys, in behalf of the schools.
The children were %licn addressed
by the Rev. Mr. Capman, on the ques
tion, " Why do sve keep the Sabbath
in which he showed the Divine origin
of the-christian Sabbath, and its influ
ence urn society. lie was followed
by the Rev. Mr. Barnes, who ad
dressed the children on the import
ance of beginning life aright; illus
trating it -by rnitny examples'. from
Scripture, and other .soui ces. Again
the children sung one of their beauti
ful hymns, as only children tan ring.
their faces beaming with joy, and hap
piness, whilst their lip sung the
praises of the Man of Calvary, after
which we fie mad in procession, and
marched to the retie-Aim:lit ground,
which was beautifully .decorated—led
by Mr. Wile is, the MarAall of the
day. The ref - resin - aunts ivere excel
lent-, arid showed how much 'le cit
izens were interested in the occasion
t‘:hich called Lis together. I,le. com
mittee Of arrangements did their part
well, both , before and (inning the. re
freshments, so that by their manage
mem. all %veva satistled and happy.
After the refseshments the children
were addressed by the Rev. Mr: Ann- ,
strung, also by Mes,,r.:. Wilcox : and
Inset), S. S StperintendentS,' who
were listened to with marked interest
and plea-w re. All seemed j:,yous and
happy ; the united voices of fathers
and mothers, young . ink3a and maidens,
teachers and children, gnshed . forth
gladly. In imagination ice could be
hold the delighted and approving .
smiles of those pioneers in the Sab
bath School movement, as they heat
over the battlements of Heaven to
witness the happy fruits of their oivu
hard toil. As we retired from this
hallowed spot, we felt grateful in ouc,
hearts to God who has cast-our lives
in pleasant places and bequeathed to
us a goodly heritage.

° WHO IS SAFE i
- There seems to exist a strange
apathy in the public mind : with regard
to the case of Passmore
He has beer in prison now nearly ten
weeks. His innocence of the charge
of ~ conteropt,'-' on the pretense . , of
which he was committed by Judge
Kane, is es -clear: as the sun in the
.heavenS. Judge Kane knows lip is
innocent. The State judges of Penn
sylVania know he is innocent. The
public know he is innocent. Arid yet
he remains incarcerated, the victim of
one man's obstinacy ; and, for any
thing We know, he.must, stay in Moy- .
amensing prison until it shall please
Judge Kane to permit his release.
Dr. Johnson used to say that the
right of Habeas Corpus was the, one
advantage which • freemen had over
slaves. Precious - as that right is, it
exists ru t in this country, while Kane,
is on the'bench. Any one may lee
liberty on any pretext. The most can
did and`respectful reply to a question
from a judge may be styled contempt

"They can't agree; fair cc a re lot a

back to their room and caused- other
busitlCiS to be brought bef;rre them.
A majority of the Jury; however,, lienrg
in favor of ignoring the bill against
McCrea, refused to act upon any other
busine,s until his case was finally, dis
posed of, and therefore re rum e d.again
and again into Court Without making
any presentment. This was continued
nutil Satinaliy, when the Judge, per •
ceiving that he, to go on with the husi
' ness b efore - him, niva do justice to
McCrea by giving th . e Jury proper
i tructiuns, dismi,..sed the Grand Jury,
and adjourned the Court until. the
second Monday in NOveniVer. Such
an adjournment is not legal, being
authorized by no statute, and is, in
fact, a dissolution of the Court. As
such it was doubtless intended, in or
der to detain McCrea in prison until
next spring, that another effort may
Le organized to pack a Grand Jury.
The baseneis of the Judge has not
been unobserved, nor will it pass with
outnotice. A petition will be pre
sented to the President praying for
his removal on the;ground of corrup
tion and imbecility in office, and there
is not a single attorney of "reap
ity in the Territory wh.o will not' sign

When this man came to the Terri
tory the'peo de looked upon him with
helm . and confidence ; but ever since
he sold an extra-judiciel opinion for
an interest in the, proposed location of
the Capital, public opinion has hastily
changed toward him. Since his en
couragement of the' ruffians of this
neighborhood, byshowine a dispesition
to frown down all .charges brought
against.there, the citizens of the town
have found, t necessary to appoint a
special police, and the greater part of
the citizens are obliged to carry arms
to defend themselves from outrage.
