IMPORTANT LETTER FROM T. M. EDDY, D. D., EDITOR OF THE NORTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE, TO PRESIDENT BUCHANA^. HON. JAME3 BUCHANAN, President of the United States .*■ SIR :—There are times when the humblest citizen may and should approach the Chief Magistrate with his cause* Such is the pres ept ; and I address you, not seeking any of fice, nor interfering with the ordinary ques tions which are thrust upon your attention. I write as a member, a minister, an officer of tbe Methodist Episoopal Church. You, sir, are a " public functionary," charged with the highest re|ponßibilitieß and the weightiest duties. Tbe matters I design lo lay before your Excellency affect the life, the liberty, the property of our poople. They affect their rights in the new States and Ter ritories ; they affect the destinies of this country; for they must leal to the practical solution of this question : Are the rights of the citizen, under the Constitution, to be pro tected, or are they held at the pleasures of the mob f The history of the " people called Metho dists" is not unfamiliar to you, for it is part of the history of tbe country. We have been among the pioneers of civilization and Chris tiaaity. Our clergy have been among the first in the wilderness. They have no; wait ed until roads were made, bridges built, houses erected, and disabilities removed They have gone with the woodsman ; they have camped with the hunter ; searched out tho cabin of the squatter ; followed the har dy miners of the Pacific into their gulches, and gone after the lumbermen into the inex haustible pineries. Sir, we have won the right of existence, and come to you to day demanding protection in the exercise of our vested rights. I regret, sir } that I must write this com munication now, while the political excite ment unavoidably connected with a Presi dential election is upon us, but there is no alternative. It is a question of life and deat\. I will itate— 1. TBE GROUND WE OCCUPY. 1. The Methodist Episcopal Church is no political organization. Its functions are spiritual and ecclesiastical. Men of all po litical shades are in its ministry, its officiary, and its membership. Its papers lend no in fluence to either political party, as such, nor display the pames of any candidates at tho head of their columns. Thus far, our peo pie hav3 never been consolidated into politi cal organization, for no denominational in terest has demanded it. 2. We have ever fceeq a loyal people. We havo bowed to the majesty of law, both fed eral and state. We have counseled no resis tance to unjust laws. There is nothiug in our doctrines or discipline calculated to stir up strife or sedition. 3- These things being so, we claim the right to go, under the constitution of our country, into any part of our domain. We cleim the right of free speech and free pr'nt ing. We claim mark, Mrs. President, Ido not say we ask, we solicit ; no, sir, we de mand— equal rights and privileges with oth er denominations. If our people violate any law, let them be fairly tried, condemned and punished. Give them an impartial jury, an unbribed judge, aud competent counsel. 4, It cannot have escaped jour attention, sir, that Methodism was early remarkably successful as ip Southern States, but possi bly you may nut have observed that it was thus successful as a decided and uncompro mising anti-Blavery church. The present anti-slavery tone of our Discipline and lit erature is no new utterance. Our fathers spoke warmer words than we, and the warm est came from slave territory. You will be struck, sir, with the remarkable agreement of their words with those of Washington, Jefferson, Mpaison, Franklin, and, if I mis take not, your own early spoken or written sentiments. It was known everywhere that John Wesley abhored slavery ; that he do dounced the slave trade as the " sum of all villainies," and slavery as a " complicated crimeand yet Southern conferences were organized under hie direct supervision. In 1780 a conference held, not in Boston, or even in New York, but in Baltimore,on slave soil, said : " Slavery is contrary to tbe law of God and nature, and hurtful to society contrary to the dictates of conscience and pure religion." You will be told tha* our church has become aboliiionized. Open our Discipline apd read it. It says nothing stronger than was said by that Southern con ference in 1780. In 1784 Baltimore again spoke, saying, "We view it [slavery] as con trary to the golden law of God,—the inalien able rights of mankind, AS JTBLL AS EVERT PRINCIPLE OP THE REVOLUTION," &C. These are mere specimen quotations, but they express the early sentiment of Metho dism. Slavery was wrong, and by religious ggppcies was to be extirpated. Molding views, they spread everywhere through goqth. They encoqaraged no insurrec tions } they stirred up no violence; they {Side B8 interference with State laws. We stand upon the same platform, and hold sim ilar views. It so happens, sir, that I am able to give you the views of our church in Virginia, at a somewhat later period. In 1818 a minister preached a sermon in Washington county,in which were some allusions to the relations of slavery, and was indicted for attempting to promote insurrection and sedition among the slaves. By a change of venue tbe trial vyas held in Frederick, in March, 1819. The senior counsel for the accused was Roger B. Taney, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. One of the at torneys read from the Discipline of the Church the law bearing on slavery, which may be thuacondensed : (1); A strong dec laration of tho great evil of.slavery ; (2). A requisition upon guci, as unite with the church to emancipate their slaves ; (3). For bidding any slaveholder to be a traveling preacher ; (4). Forbidding the sale of slaves, or their purchase, oxcent for purposes of emancipation ; (5). Admonishing slaves to obedience and industry. These were read in a Virginia Court, to a Virginia jury, in the presence of a Virginia judge, and the position boldly argued, that there was nothing in them contrary to the peace and safety of the State, Tho accused was acquitted. Mr. Taney said of the Meth odists living under these that they equaled any other poople in "their moral de portment, and in their habit of obedience to the laws." He also said : " No man can be prosecuted for preaching the articles of his religious creed, unless, in- ] deed, this doctrine is immoral and calculated to disturb the peace and order of society ; ; and subjects of National policy may at all times be treely and fully discussed in the pulpit or elsewhere, without limitation of restraint It is well known that the peaceful and gradual abolition of slavery in these States is one of the objecis which the Meehodist society have in view There is no law which forbids us to speak of slaveiy ! as we think of it. Any man has 2, right to j publish his opiuions on that subject whenev er he pleases. It is a subject of national conn j cern, and may be freely discussed. Mr. Gru- ■ ber (the defendant) did quote the language! of our great act of national independence, \ and insisted on the principles contained in tiiat venerated instrument, 110 did rebuke those masters who, in the exercise of power, are deaf to the calls of humanity, aDd he warned them of the evils they might bring upon themselves. lie did speak with abhor rence of those reptileq who live hy trading in human flesh, and enrich themselves by tearing the husband from the wife, the infant from the bosom of the mother Shall I content myself with saying be had a right to say this, and that there is no law to punish him? * * * * We are prepared to maintain the same principles, and to use, if necessary, the same language here in the temple of justice. * * * * A hard ne cessi y, indeed, compels us to endure the ev'ls of slavery for a time. It was imposed upon us by another Dation while we were in a state of colonial vassalage. It cannot he easily pr suddenly rem-ved. Yet, while it j continues, it is a blot on our national char acter, and every real lover of freedom confi ! dently hopos that it will he effectually,though j it must he gradually, wiped anay, and ear nestly looks for the means by which this I necessary object may be best attained. And, until it shall he accomplished, until the time shall conie when we pan point without a I blush to tbe language held iu tho Declara* | tion of Independence, every friend of human -1 ity will seek to lighten the galling-chains of S slavery, and better, to tbe utmost of his pow er, the wretched condition of the slave." Perhaps, Mr. President, the above para ! graphs hav6 a more decided rhetoric than the ! distinguishe 1 author of ihe Dred Scott decis sion would now employ, but they are truth ful, and our people will endorse them. 5. There are many persons residing in the slave States who prefer our discipline and ministry to those of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. They do so, (1. ) Because they have a Constitutional right lor such preference; (2.) Becauee they think our dis cipline accords with holy Scripture, with our early testimony and the recorded sentiments of our purest statesmen ; ( 3-) Because ours is the church of their childhood and youth ; (4-) Because it is not a sectional church, era blazoned as such on the very title pages of official publications. These are good reasons, and we have felt it our duty to supply them with the ministry apd institutions of their preference. We have invaded no civil rights, have incited no revolt, stirred no sedition. We claim for them the right to prefer us —we claim the right to supply them. 11. WHAT TREATMENT HAVE WE RECEiyED 1 Sir, the civilized world has been shocked by the story of the abominations perpetrated by the Druses upon the nominal Christians in Syria, and by the cruel edicts which have disgraced the government of Borne, with its clerical head. lam not sure but a chapter of history almost as shocking and barbarous must be written by the historian of Method ism. Our people are under a reign of terror in some portions of the Southeast and South west. From different quarters in Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware, they have received threacs of violence to be inflicted unless there shall be a withdrawal from our church. The mail matter of out members is opened—post masters claim the authority tc break tbe sfals, and degrade themselves: into pro-sla very spies! Mr. BuchanaD, have you or your cabinet demanded or sanctioned this far-reaching system of espionage? Is your Postmaster-General simply or principally the chief of the vast detective fores? We of the North support the postal service, and we wish to know something of its character. The most high-handed outrages have been perpetrated in the Southwest. There vio lence has been repeatedly employed, and oar people basely murdered. In Missouri bands of ruffians have interfered with our service, have committed outrages upon our ministers which hurried them to their grave, while the red grey locks of a venerable man loved by all who knew him, w"°.se crime was a warm at tacbment to the Methodist Church. The high-handed enormities inflicted upon the min-ißtry and members of our church in Kansas need not be repeated—they have passed into history. Iu Arkansas, Bishop Janes was holding a session of Conference. No man's rights had been invaded; no insurrection had been preached ; no slave had been incited to re volt. There were in that Conference, no doubt, some who voted for James Buchanan. Yet, sir, Sho/sa men, with their wives and children and friends, were surrounded on God's holy day, while in the house of wor ship, by an armed mob, who demanded an instant and unconditional abandonment of their position. Mr. President, that outrage has been perpetrated since you have been our Chief Executive ! What harm hud they done? Had they lost their character as American citizens, or is the nation which could resent thq outrages of Greytown and Paraguay, powerless before those of pro-sla very mobs ? Later still has come the word that in Tex as similar to that of Harper's Ferry, ha 9 been created. Mobocracy has triumphed over the law. Men suspecied have been seized and executed. Among the victims of this reckless slaugh ter we read the of A. Bewley. I knew that man. lie was a cautious, deliberate man, born, I believe, in Tennessee. He was no abolitionist, though an anti-slavery man, of the Washington and Jefferson school Modest and peaceful, ne never asseited all the rights mentioned by the author of the Dred Scott decision, quoted above, nor was he accustomed to speak sueh words as Mr. Taney announced himself prepared to utter in the old Court House at Frederick, He was twice chosen a delegate to our highest eccle* siastical council, and was esteemed for his unobtrusive but genuine policy. A large family, one of which was a Ijlind daughter, vyas dependent upon him. Yet without a fair trial, without a sworn jury, without council, without forms of law, this brave man, this good gray-haired man, is murdered by a mob. Tell not this country that American citizenship is a prouder boast than Roman. We of the Methodist Church, who refuse a sectional affix, are almost com pelled to say it is a cheat, a sham, something wo pay dearly for, but which brings us no protection. Have we, the million of Metho dists in this country, no rights which the Southern slaveholders and slave drivers are bound to respect? TVIIAT WE DEMAND OF OUR COUNTRY. 1. We insist upon protection in the exer else of our constitutional rights —liberty of conscience, speech and press. 2. We irsist upon it that our recorded sen timents on the subject of Slavery shall not work a practical fo:feiture of our citizenship. Why this singling rut of the Methodist Church 1 Others have borne a etropg testi® mony against the evil—why this war upon us ? 3. We demand the protection of thecourts. Jf any of our people offend the majesty of the law, there are courts of justice and officers of the law, let there be a full, impartial and fair trial, and \ye fill be conteut. We bow to the laws. If they are unjust and oppres sive, we will attempt in all lawful ways to secure their repeal. It becomes, sir, a ques tion just now of deep interest. Does mem bership in the Methodist lE|pisoopal Cbprch, expose to death at the banas of an unlicensed mob 1 Are we to be hunted like wild beasts? Is our blood to be shed like water, to appease the insatiable Moloch of slavery ? 1 must add, sir, that at this time the ques tion, Can our brethren be protected ? is as suming a grave importance. We are in the midst of the excitement preceding che Pres idential election, intensified hy the character of the questions at issue. Heretofore we have been divided in qur votes. Our clergy have been of different parties, and sq have our laity. The Church periodicals, with a circulation told by hy>dre<)s of thousands, have beeu silent when the questions of plat forms ant) candidates have been argued.— Thus should it be. God forbid that the day shall copse when our leading religious denom- I inations shall stand as integers in the com- I putation of political pari!::. But, sir, "Oppression maketb a wise man mad." The murder of Bewley has startled us, and the question begins to run through our million of membership, Can an adminis tration be found which will protect the rights of conscience and the freedom of worship ? I deprecate the existence tf euoh a state of things, but we are not responsible. We love I our brethren, and cannot consent to see them ! slaughtered by guDS of desperadoes without j feeling, without determining solemnly and ! our knees, and at a holy communion, thai ; they shall be protected. A lew more such murders as that of Bewley, and, the Church will ask who will give us an administration,! stroDg enough to uphold the rights dearest of all others ? and for that man, bo ho whom he may, they will cast their united suffrage- j Sir, I have written plainly and honestly, j and now closa this letter, praying that the evening cf your days may be calm and cloud less, and when you go hence may it be in sure and certain hope of a blissful immor tality. Yours respectfullv, T. M. EDDY. Chicago, Ills., Sept. 7, 18G0. How the Prince of.Wales Travels, Some people, when they go from one place to another, calculate upon their "luck" in putting them through, others travel on their "muscle," pthers on their "beauty," others on their "talents," (very few in number,) others on thei,r "impudence," and others on "dead head" tickets; but with Lord Ren frew it can be emphatically said that he travels on bis money. From Cincinnati to Pittsburg he pays the modest sum of two thousand dollars for a special train ; but while he pavs in accordance with royalty, he expects to receive immunities not granted to ordinary men. Tho train which bears Ilia Highness has the entire right of the road.— An engine specially detailed precedes to keep tho track clear and look out for any imperfections in the road that would jeop- J ardize ths safety of the train containing the Prince and royal retinue. The agent of the Prince who is a cousin ; to him on Alberts side, aranges all his trav- ! elling matters, and stipulates in the bargain : with railroad companies, that cn no consid eration shall any person be allowed on board the train except those necessary to manage it; and these are prohibited from entering the royal car, tut by themselves in a ! forward car. When the bargain was maJe with the Su? perintenjent of tbe Litile Miami road, to convey the Prince to Pittsburgh, the agent endeavoring to incorporate in the contract that the Superintendent should ride on the Jrontcar, and when there was any thing of interest to be seen on.the road, to go back and pcint it out to the Prince ; but the Su perintendent gracefully declined; whereupon tbe office was tendered to the Assistant Su perintendent, who likewise declined, and at last accounts an individual willing to accept the position, was being searched for.— Cin cinnati Gazette. BOGUS JEWELRY.— The following jterp which we clip from the "New Hampshire Journal of Agriculture," will prove particularly in trrestiag to those who patronize "gift store" enterprises,and such like benevolent schemes to put into the bands of purchasers Jewelry which is "itself worth more than the price" of the partictlar article that is ostensibly purchased. At this time it would be weft for the public to make a note of it, as these "gift" establisments are in full blast through out the couptry: I came through Lynn, Boston, etc., to the little manufacturing village called N. E. Vil lage and learned something about making the bogus jewelry with which the country is flood" ed ei her by peddlers orgiitbook enterpiiees. One company is making ear-drops oi a com position called orcide, which will eell for gold, but is not worth as much as brass.— The other company is manufacturing gold chains out of German silver, brass, oreide.— The process of uiakiDg was interesting to me, qnd rpay be to others. I'll give it: The links were cut from wire or plate, according to the kind of chain ; sometimes soldered be fore putting into a chain, and sometimes afterward. After it is linked, it is drawn through a machine to even it— boiled in wit roil water to take eff the scales caused by heating—drawn tbroqgh a limbering ma chine, and dipped in aeid to clean it, after which it is dipped in a solution of pure silver and finally dipped in gold collaring —making a chqin which will sell at the rate of sl2 to $lB a dozen. This is a gift-enterprize jtw elry. which is marked "Lady's splendid gold chain, SJ2 "Gent's guard chain, SB," or ••$10," etc. The ear-drops cost less, and are often marked higher. WEALTH CANNOT BUT HEALTH.— John Ja cob Astor [eft a son bearing bis own name, who is now a hopeless imbecile.
