41 In July, lagiiieveralQuakeraiiiriited
in ilasiachusetts from Barbadoes, two or
whom- were wonien7 aware of the
contemptueolidisregard for existhigOr
dinaticesindniged in byktlie mere zealot's ,
of the sect itangland, the magistrates in
Boston brought thelair against heretics
-to bear against the intruders, and ordered
their immediate--arrest. After. theirper
sena had been e:xiimined for those' marks
whielv were auppoied et that - day .te indi
'cote, such as dealt.in witeheraft,:no
thus being discovered, - )1 'their- trunks
were rifled, "and the bi•okii .foUnd therein
Okiered to he burned.. A -brief imprison-, •
rci;Ut Was' imposed' upon but they
were finally reletated and hanishedthecol
ony. Peveral others: Who - arrived anima
queutly Were sent back to England by the
same vessellin which they 'came. About
theesame ' time a law was passed to pre
vept their introduction into the colony,
and impelling the penalty of Stripes and
coercive labor upon all Quakers that
should infringe it. * * Some of the
women were whipped, and several men
condemued to lo§e an ear. * * When
seized they offered no resistance. Sen
tenced to be flogged, they" yielded' with
entire satisfaction their backs to the exe
cutioner."
Finding that these atrocious measures
were not sufficient to crush ,out, the liber
ty ofthought, a law was passed, says the
same historian, in 1658, banishing the
Quakers from, the Unitefl , Colonies of
New England, and forbidding their re
turn under pain of death :
' 4 This sanguinary and unkstifiable en
actment was Earned by ono vote only.—
Many staunch friends of the government
strongly protested against it, not only as
cruel, but as liable to invite- the-persecu
tion it sought to avoid. The result soon
proved how well grounded was •the fear.
Marmaduke Stevenson, Wm. Robinson
and Mary Dyer, courted the danger to
which they were exposed and quietly
awaited the operation of the• law. In
September, 1658, they were seized, and
after trial, condemned to be banged. The
sentence was carried; into effect upon Rob
inson and Stevenson, but Mary Dyer was
reprieved upon the Scaffold, and again
thrust from the colony. Resolute in seek
ing a martyr's death, she returned soon
after and was publicly executed on Bos
ton Common."
"Ohl the rarity
Of Christian charity."
Will not some New England clergy
man of modern orthodoxy . she& at last
one tear over the scarlet sins of 'his own
ancestors who assisted in the murder of
this poor woman on Boston Common,
while ho is Weeping as if his head was a
fountain of waters over the landing of a
Dutch ship with slaves at Jamestown ?
But again, says the same friendly histo
rian :
"It was at the beghming of this year
that manypersous of piety and good un
derstanding were again led to believe in
the prevalence of witchcraft in the pro
vince. Prominent
- among the most cred
ulous of these was Cotton Mather, son to
the Rev. Increase Mather, for some time
past the agent 'iof Massachusetts bang
land, and himself a clergyman. *- *
The alarm of witchcraft was again sound
•
ed. The ministers fasted and prayed with
the distressed' father., The, villagers of
Salem -also fasted and praied l ; end the
fear of demoniacal influences became gen
eral, a day of fastite , and prayer was ape ,
cially set apart to be observed by the
whole colony. The belief in witchcraft ;
being ihnei solemnly recognized and fos
-
Itered, it was not long before the delusion
spread across the whole breadth alba ;
province. The number ,or victims so ra
pidlyincreased that nituiy Of the Colonists,
perfectly panic-stricken, became the accu
sers of others, lest they should be brought
under suspicion thanselves. The execu
tion at Salem village of air. Burroughs, a
minister of blameless, life, was a terrible
instance of et, power - which the delusion
exercised over the etrongest . ininds in the
comMunity. For fifteen ponths this
strange belief held full possession of the
popular faitb. Oaring this period, out of
twenty-eight persons capitally convicted
of witchcraft, nineteen had been hanged,
and onci'pressed to death."

be, if a court-martial has. no right to try

I National ppicruptcy.
The N,eiv. York Tribune, one of the
most intensely -loyal abolition sheets in
the country, says :
." The natan is drifting 'ate actily tbdiard
bankruptcy. We are now ,in the
grandest crisis of our =national history ;
and we choose dwarfs to do the work
which might well employ angels. Some
thing must be now done to stop the tert=
deney to ruin, or the country is lost be
yond redemption."
This is strong language to come from
a party organ. Bat who is to blame
for allowing "the nation to', drift into
bankruptcy ?" The adminisiiittien have
bad things all their own . w:ay ;"not an ob
stacle' has been interposed' by the people
of the North. After conducting, the war
for three years under such circumstances,
the Tribune now adMits that there is dan
ger that " the' countiy will be lost beyond
redemption !" The time for.a change is

and in Congress who aro not dwarfs—
men who understand the principlei'npon
which the Government was founded; and
who will endeavtr to restore the Union.
Charitable and Consistent.
We observed with pleasure, in the Leg
islative
reports published yesterday morn
'
ing that even the small sum of two thous
and dollars to each .oitinty had been ap
propriated by a vote of the Senate, for the
support and education of the orphans of
soldiers. who bad died.in the service. •
We are informed that in the- afternoon
session, this orphans' mite was sought to
be .Withdrawn. The black republicans did I
not like the state of the record ; there.,
was too large a majority of Democratic
votes in favor of this (truly sanitary) pro
visien, , The soldiers, after all, might thus
discover they had more ,Democratic
friends in the Legislature than Was con
, sistent with the teachings of the negro
party leaders, So .I±dr. WCandless (Rep.)
moved a recOnsideration—when every
black republican in the Senate but twe vo
ted to reconsider, and then against the
measure! Now for a commentary:
In
In the same appropriation bill there is'
a provision—put there, of 'course, by a
party vote—giving a very considerable
sum for a poor-house for negro children in
Philadelphia. A new thing, but very con
slitently presented.. Starve the white or
phans of the soldiers,hut clothe the ne
gro babies in purple Mid fine linen.—Pal

The way to do it.
In Warren ceunty, Illinois, there is a
village called "Young America," that is
all black, and has been the scene of many ,
outrages upon Democrats, by soldiers in
stigated by abolition residents. We learn'
frout last week's Peoria ;ilea, that these
abuseS have been put an end to. .An arm-
ed cavalcade, one fine morning, rode.into•
the village—the rioters fled at their ap-.
proacli. The cavalcade, composed of law
abiding bitizeus, announced that their sole
objedt - was toObserve the peace and keep
the laws, and that they meant to. do it.—
They demanded and received the pledges
of some fifty of the leading abolitionists
it and arenntithevillage,that no more out
nigeir should tieperpetrated on-Demo
eras. Peace and - law thus reestablished
they paid tbefr hotel bille,"atid, in:silence
and perfect' ordir, roole Cut 'Untie i viPage

party will denounce them as traitors ; the

mobs will retaliate againstmobs; the blen

party Will tend to. strengthen the convie./

SOLDIERS' Thou nIENDS.—Hon. - 13.-F..
Meyers, of the Pennsylvania Legislature,'
in a recent speech before the House made
the, following, pertinent remarks: .
It seems to be the cue of the gentle
men on the other , side of this House to.
plead for,mobs and mob law. They say
that the soldiers. have bad great ..provecs.-
tion,tolirb printing , offices. Why, gir t
the Democratic press is the, best and tra,
eit,friend.of the soldier. When contriw
tors defraudbite the Democratic papers
ekpoSe them., „When . faithless ,offteiala

and the'negro is praised ashis superior ia
