With the oppressor.
"Honor thy father and thy mother," is the
,'Sequireinerit of the Bible. Slavery utterly
annuls this command. The owner - claims
honor .end obedience, to the titter disregard
'of parental authority and parental claims.-
- Who ever thinks of a slave child obeying his
parent in preference to his master? The
very suggestion is preposterous. Does the
Bible sanction a system that abrogates its
own ,injanctions ?
There stands that slave mother, pressing,
with a mother's - love, her own child to. her
't
heart To whom d oes it belong ? Is it not
h e rs against tie universe Is there any be
ing, this side the throne-of God, that has the
right to take it from her? Has the master'
the right to , cotnti and tear it away from her
embrace, and claim it as his property ? And.
is this robbery sanctioned by the Bible, and
that Bible the ward of Goa 1 I know the
people ate taught this by a ministry that I

not marry. No clergyman dare pronounce
two slaves husband and wife till death shall
'separate them. The will of the master is
their fitte:' The Bible says S "What God
'lath joined together, let not man put asun

::for God 2i Will separate them when I please.
- A slave who is a church member is taught
by his religious teachers, that it is his duty,

The advocate of Bible slavery takes a six.

writer, that there sums nothing that he did not
touch, and nothing that he. touched that , he
did not beadlify. And it can truly be said
of slavery, .that there is. nothing it does not I
touch, and nothing that it touches that it
does not defile. It has perverted the Gov
ernment, violated the national flit% muzzled
the press, debauched the church, corrupted
Christianity; and seeks to change the glory of
the invisible God into a Moloch. and trans
form the etErnatind loving Father into a pa
tron of cruelty, lust, and in justice; and then,
with the impudence of the' id rangeovomani
Wipes its mouth and says, "I have corninit
t;ll no sin !" I should be ashamed of such a
God as that. It is to me utterly incompre
hensible, that any one can sincerely believe
that the Bible sanctions the system of Amer
ican slavery ; and I leave that point.
But this•fanaticistp gores still further, and
arrogates to itself prerogatives which, God
himself, never claimed, and . what, be it spa
ken with reverence, the Supreme Being him
self cannot do ; and that is, to make right
and wrong. Before all law and above all
law, human and Divine, is the idea. of right
and wrong, eternal, indestruetible.. The Om
nipotent does not claim the right or power to
annihilate this distinction. Ho himself
bows to this idea, which sits enthroned, abso
lute' and supreme, higher than the Highest.
The Supreme Legislator never undertook. by
mere arbitrary enactment, to obliterate this
distinction, aaput darkness for light, and
light for darkness—bittet , for sweet, and
sweet for bitter. His own conduct is con
tioled by His perceptions of what is right
and what is wrong. Human statutes cannot
do what Divine legislation never attempted
to achieve. -. Can you, by a Congressional en
actment, change the laws that govern the ma
teriarworld ? , Can you make the Potomse
roll back to its sources amid . those far off
hills, or calm the ocean, *ben, moved from
its depths,•it lifts its crested waves on high,
and dashel thebt in broken spray against the
beetling crags? Much less can you annul
the eternal distinction between right and
wrong.• Tile attempt is and must forever

~The gentlerhan from -Georgia, the ..other

tacle of State after State emerging from a
territorial condition' and wheeling into line,
l as:sovereign States in this Confederacy. In
this process, according to the gentleman,
were united the two principles of expansion
and popular sovereignty, and the gentleman
was reminded of that grand chores which an
ancient exile heard when there .was poured
upon his ear the voice of many waters, and
the voice of the thunders, and the voice of
the Almighty,, and the utterance of ocean and
thunder and of Jehovah was„ " Vox, populi

God. When I hear the voice of: thousands and
thousands, and ten-times ten thousand,Swell
ing upward, like the voice of many waters
and the voice of mighty thunders and the
voice of the Almighty, it is that other and
better sentiment—" Let justice prevail, tho'
the universe crumbles." Ay, sir; I too heard
the voice of the People,`and it went surging
through the streets of Judea's proud metrop
olis. 'lt swept through the portals of Pi
late's jidgment hall, and echoed - along its
arches, crying, 4 ' Crucify him ! Crucify hint !"
Was." Vox populi vox Del" then --Did the

the Almighty, responsive to the popular will,
demanding the crucifixion of his own Son 1—
Did their cry of blood have' he: Divine sane-
Lion, simply bemuse' they had voted it, and
because. they had a law by which the. Man of
Nazareth must be put to death ? What an
impious dogma!
But let us follow this expansion and vox
poptili dbetrine. We aim-n:ly embrace Utah;
there the voice of the people sanctions and
demands a multiplicity of wives. Is it the
voice of God?. We acquire'Cubd and there
the voice of the-people demands the union of
Church and State, and-forbids a prayer to be
uttered by the open grave of a friend who
breathed out his soul beyond the pate of the
Papal Church; and ,the voice of the -people:
is the voice of God 1 Expansion ! We
sweep onward, and take in Mexico : and in
some sequestered vale there is 11 ream:al% of

of — which we hear so much, in and out of Con

is a certain class of human -beings who- have
no rights. If you Maliciously_ kill them, It
is no murder; if you take away their liber

A single word as to this charge of negro
stealing. I suppose I haven right to speak
on this subject, having been made the object
of this allegitiT.' So far - as any personal 1
abiie is concerned, it may go for what it is I
worth. If the object is to ascertain whether
I assist fugitive slaves who come to my door
and ask it,. the matter is easily disposed , of.
I march right up to the confessional, and s' a 3;, I
I do. I recollect the case of a young woman,
who came to 'my house, who had not a single
trace of African descent either in feature or
complexion. According to her own story,
she was' betrothed to a man of her race, tho'
not of her color, and - was, before her mar
riage, sold to a libertine from the South, she
being in St. Louis. She escaped, and, in her
flight from a life of infamy, and a fate worse!'
than death, she came and implored aid ?
Was I to refuse it?' 'Was I to bewray the
wanderer. Was I to detain her, and give
her up a prey to the incarnate fiend who had
selected her as a victim to offer up on the al
tar of sensualism ?
Who would do it r I would not, did not.
No human being, black or white, bond or !
.free, native or foreign, infidel or Christiait, I
ever came to my door and asked for food 1
and shelter; in the name of a coinfoon hu-]
manity, or of a pitying Christ, who did not
receive it. This I have done. This I mean
to do, as long as God lets me live. I shall
never " bewray him that wandereth." 1-shall
never become a slave-catcher. Any one who ,

For a considerable' time past a Hungarian,
named Emanuel Gerrard, who keeps a cigar

had been in the habit of visiting the atom
two or three limes a'day, and the husband
had, warned him- that he mast, ewe 'his at
tentions, and he had 'nit made hitappearance
in the store since last Tnesday.
Sonia time last week a letter, written by
the wife, to the 'Doctor, making an appoint
ment to meet him at the Post Office on Sun
day last, fell into the hands bf her husband,
and by his request, an apprentice in his' em
ploy, camed-Jacob Goebel,-w itnessed
, the
meeting, and' followed the parties abOut the
street, until the,return of the wife to her res
idence. They did not stop at any place of
resort, but walked and talked fur an hour or
two.
Yesterday evening the husband and the np:
prcntice were sitting at a table in the cigar
store, engaged in manufacturing, the wife oc
cupying a chair between them, when Gerrard
accused his wife of adultery: An angry dis
pute•f'llowed, hi Which both became very
much excited, and used harsh language, which
continued for some time.
Mrs. Gerrard finally arose from her seat,
and passed behind the counter, took down
a' loaded pistol hanging upon a nail, and
walked back near her husband, placed the
muzzle to her right temple, and literollybleso
the tap of her head off! Her brains were
scattered in every direction—over her bus
hand; the show-case of cigars and table, and
the shelves and boxes in the store. Of course
instant death followed.
Coroner Carey was called 'to hold an in
quest, when the facts,'ns we have detailed
them, were divulged in the evidence.
It appears that Mrs. Gerrard and her hus
band, before coming to this country, occupi
ed a very good social position. and the wife
was descended from a noble Hungarian !wil
ily. They were both vtiry quiet, orderly
perions. Whether the net of self-destruction
was caused by shame at thediscovery by ber
husband of disreputable conduct, or by indig
nation at his-accusations, can never of course
be known.
Mr. Gerrard Is perhaps thirty-six years
of age, and his wife was about twenty-eight.
The suicide caused an intense excitement in
the vielnity, and thousands or persons col
lected itt the locality of the tragedy, many
remaining until a late hour last night, discus
tang the vations rumors in connection with
the-affair. The Coroner's Jury returned a
verdict that she came to her death by her
own hand. • . •
1 The Enquirer's acconrt says that Mrs.
Gerrard's name was Ludwiga. "She was
a4oung and beautiful woman, algo of line
gfirian extraction, and said to belong to the
order of noblesse in her native country. She
was much admired for her mental culture,
elegance of manners, and brilliancy of eon
versation, and, those, combined with a lovely
person, rendered her the attractive centre of
aline circle of devoted friends."
The Lost Balloonist —Thorston's Body

It Will be recollected that on September
'l6th last, Mr. Ira J. Thurston made
. an un
expected balloon ascension from the vicinity
of Adrian, Mich., that the balloon was some
days after found in the vicinity of St. :Clair
River, but the fate of the poor acronant re

lights of Spiritualism were invoked. 'Some
of the pretended spirit revelations were that
Thurston reached the earth alive, and was
then in a nearly inaccessible hat in the St.
Clair marshes; and the latest', was that the
exact kicality, of his body had been found ;
that the force of the fall had Ishried it deep
in the soft in ITSh—that a pilei thrust' down
had brought up hair from the head of the un

WIIKIKAS. Publicity has been ..given through the
public print to circumstances that have recently oc
curred in this town, it becomes necessary for the
good people of Jackson to snake a declaration of
their sentiments with regard to such transactions, as
embraced in the following resolutions:
Resolved, That 'We entirely disapprove of those
slightly gatherings which have of late occurred occa
sionally, not only in this tint also in'other towns,
called "serepading parties," "cbararavis," "skim:
mertons," Le.. or shore classically "horning bees."
Resoled, That we totally-disapprove of any citizen
taking the .responsibility into his own hands, to
avenge for any breach . of law by shooting into com
panies although unlawfully convened," as has been
done by the said "Jackson,"' or `using any other
deadly weapon; or threatening to do' so; but we
would in all cases, recommend to take the proper
steps of law to redress wrong.
Resoled, Thar we heartily disapprove of the idea
of secrectly injuring persons or property,. for real or
imaginary injury done or committed.
&ardent That while we regret that there should
be any disturbance in any of our assemblages, we are
entirely opposed to resorting to the press, under or
dinary circumstances, but believe such occurrences
should be kept at home, and the wrong corrected by
public opinion in every community; and also that we
regret that any who ought to be friends of good or.
der should, in anyway, either directly or
. indirectly,
give countenance to or approbation of any breach of
good order.

published in the Independent Republican.

' Darling Ida L gene before us
- To the haven of her rest;
- tittle cherub, nurs'd and sbelter'd
On a loving mother's breast.
Scarcely bad these eyes been open'd
Tattle mysteries of Earth;
Scarce the rimy lip had utter'd
Words of lore, and infant mirth.
Strange that bud so fondly eherish'd
Resting on Its parent, stem,
- Should expand in realms of glory,
On the Savior's diadem.'
She was lent-.-4 Oresious
- Thus the parents' hearts to win;
But from , earth our Father cali'd her,
Ere her aourwas marr'd with am.
Though 21° Soung, alteloy'd the Easier,
,
And like idiot mom would bear ;
Now het infank Worce is praising
• Dinkshe lorerin glory there.
- - .4ileteet! hq*,saiblas meturdog
By tbilittle vicinarseitt ;
Think other as blest - hi Heaven,
Waiting, each of ion to greet.
Wien a child amonithe angels

has aaid—u.Cotne, little children:
. • Such aufround the throne of God.'
