We do not believe that in order to uphold democratic principles, it is necessary for us to defend slavery in the abstract, and we have therefore no disposition to quarrel witb our : l-V A11--T. ' it - ufiguuur ut me jiurynuniun concerning iue . views he has recently promulgated on the eub ject, lie has of course, a perfect right to maintain his views as wejl as he cm, and to back op the high authority of his own word with quotations from Lord Mansfield, Pitt, Plato &c. We do not object to his furnish ing the Brown worshipping. Virginia hating portion of his readers with a schedule of the - price of niggers, nor do we object to his very chaste essay on the subject of slave breeding Doubtless such literature is very acceptable to the refined tastes of his intensely abolition readers, and he is right in catering to iheir nfrttl inr annptitps Tint vVipn ti sasorta that 'the Roman Catholic Church, the Lu theran, the Greek, the Nestorian, the Church of England, the Presbyterian churches cf of Scotland, the Reformed churches ofJFrance c, indeed the whole Protestant church ex cept a few churches in the Southern States, now, and' at all times, bare deplored and denounce d human bondage, as a social moral and political evil, either by their creeds, laws or constitutions, or by the authoratative opin ions of their roost eminent Divines, we think he is going a little too far, and we feel inclin ed to call on him for his proofs. It is not a doctrine of the Catholic Church that it is a crime' to own slaves, or that Afri can slavery as it now exists .'in the United States is a social moral and political evil. Some of its members may have, ooj their own responsibility, denounced slavery in strong terms, but it has never as a church promulgat ed any doctrine on the subject! It regards it as a purely political question, with which it has nothing to do. It regards the freeing of man kind from the slavery of sin as its mission. and it does not turn aside from its work to dabble in the dirty pool of politics, and in or der to gratify a few crazy fanatics, denounce George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Ch's Carroll and other illustrious men, as the ad vocates and supporters of a moral social and political evil. That is a work which it leaves l. 1 J i . t unwnuj utmaogues ana street corner politicians. In this it strictly follows the ex ample of our Savoir and the Apostles. Da ring the time of His and their earthly pilgrim age, human slavery existed and was protect ed in every portion of the Roman Empire, and it is well known that Judea was then one of its provinces; yet the four Gospels of the rew Testament which contain of course the most important teachings cf our Divine Mas ter, do not contain a single word of condem nation or denunciation of the institution of slavery as It then existed in the world. It wa a matter which he left with Ceaser and those whom he governed. "His Kingdom was not of this World." St Paul and the other Apostles whoso writings are contained in the New Testament, are equally silent on the subject, and we cannot gather from any thing they have left on record, that they re garded slavery as either a nural social or po litical evil. They evidently eschewed poli tics, and turned their attention entirely to promulgating the truths of the christian reli gion. It would be well if certain political parsons st the present day, would imitate their example. - The Greek Church is the established reli gion of the Russian Empire. It is protected by the Russian Government, and its PatrL arch or Chief Bishop resides in Moscow the Ancieni vapiun oi me empire. JVnd where on the face of God's earth, does slavery exist iu a worse iorm man in nussiaf Toe great body of the members of the Greek Church consist of Serf owners. And yet tha Editor of the AUeylianian assures that it declares slavery to be a moral and political evil. As far as we can learn it leaves serfdom and its responsibilities with the Russian Government We wonder if our neighbor dosen't talk at random occasionally? - - - - V- a . m . . .. jrernaps one Halt of the original settlers of South Carolina were French Hugenots, and tht State "may now be truly said to be the hot-bed of Slavery. There is no protectant denomination of any importance, that has pot numerous large and flourishing congregations in the Southern' States, and the South con laini as rincere and devoted follower .nLu- - - . - i ther, Calvin and Wesly as the North does. They deny that to own Slaves is a violation of the doctrines of the religion they profess. It would not, we are certain, be a difficult matter to find many sincere Christians among the Southern slaveholders, and we doubt' not that many of them will be enjoying in heaven the reward of a lite well spent, when their pharasaical in aligners, who in this world thank ed God that they were not 'likejunto them are howling, and gnashing their teeth, ic tbeguTf of eternal perdition. The Black Republican party ought to try and get along without dragging religiou into the political arena. Religion has holier work to perform than that of promoting the success of any political organization. While the devo tees of ambition are '"bowing down to their idol," she is holding out to all, to the slave as well as master, an immortal crown which when secured, will more than compensate for all the sufferings it is possible for a human being to endure in this world. There is prob ably noplace among men, where sheissel domer found than in the conventicles of sel fish politicians. As we hinted at the commencement of this article, the democratic party neither defends nor condemns slavery in the abstract. It contends that if slavery is a moral, social and political evil, the innabitants of the Southern States, the slave owners are the only suffer ers. It is one of their domestic institutions, and they have the right to regulate and con trol it. It is a matter with which we of the North have nothing to do. And even if the assertion of the Abolitionists be true, that it is a crime, it is one which will not "be laid to our charge either here or hereafter." Accident. N". Berger the Engineer of the freight train going west, on the Pennsyl vania Rail Road, was killed near Carpenter's station, 18 miles this side of Pittsburg on last Friday morning. The following are the facts as far as we have been able to ascertain them. The train wa3 passing through a deep cut, when a large rock rolled iown the side of the cut, and fell upon the tender and part of tho car next to it. Berger was in. 4he car and was instantly killed. The conductor, and fire man, who were, also in the car, escaped with slight injuries. The rock fell about 70 feet and was of immense weight. A report was circulated in this place on Friday after noon, that II. Hudson, well known to many of our citizens, was the Engineer who was killed. We are happy to be able to state that the report was unfounded. Death of Baron 3Iacaulay. Lata news from England, bring intelli gence of the death of Lord Macauley, the il lustrious Britub historian, essayist and poet. was one of the greatest literary men of the nineteenth century, and all his publish ed writings bear the impress of immortality His essays, first published in the Edinburg Review, are as frscinating as one of Scott's Nov els, and the same may be said with truth of his history of England. But his writings do not merely facsinate; they abound with facts, pure logic, noble and elevating sentiments, which instruct develope and we bad almost said purify the intellect of the reader. It will be a long time ere the world beholds his like again. He was about 60 years of age at the time of his death. He was elevated to the peerage last year. TERY SORRY. "The godlike Achilles shine in arms once more." We are sorry that we last week disturbed the Rip Van Winkle sleep of the Editor of the Mountaineer, and we can truly say with the schoolboy that "we didn't mean to do it," We eaid nothing about him in the last num ber of our paper, but if the garment we then cut out fits him, he is perfectly welcome to wear it. It is a long time since we attended Chufechism, but we will nevertheless endeav or to answer satisfactorily the important inter rogatories of our neighbor. Mr. Florence did vote for Mr. Maynard. a National man, when he discovered that it was impossible to elect Bocock, and nearly all the other demo cratic members of the house, did likewise. The . object was to defeat the Disunionists, thfl endorsers nf T - i rr . . ... uiuv.i auii x reason, ine Democrats have not am; but they are determined if possible to nrorn the election of a Disuoionist as sneaker Sherman has endorsed the treasonable doc trines contained in Upper's Book, and is un worthy to preside over Congress. Mr. May nard is a National and Conservative States man, Sherman is a fanatical Abolitionist; the election of Maynard would be a National vic tory, tho election of Sherman wnnM . ti,. the triumph of sectionalism. The Union is now in danger, and it is the duty of National uieu oi an parties to unite for the time being at least, in order to save it. We think Mr Florence was perfectly right in voting as he did. Mr Florence has been acting with the Democratie member of Congress from the commencement of the present session of Con gress up to the present time. Mr. Hickman Las been acting with their enemies. We do not condemn Mr. Hickman merely for votin for Mr. Sherman- We object to the nltra Black Republican principles he has enunci ated in his speeches.. He has dnring the pres ent session been a more fearless . advocate of Abolition principles, than even Sherman or Thadeos Stevens Will our ceighbos be kind enough to answer the following interrogatory? Do not the speeehes deUvered by Hickman daring the present session Drove him .. Biack Republican and a Traitor to the party which elected hiai? ...... i We respectfully .tpforni our friend of the Mountaineer that we did. solicit a tniaU favor, from an exstinguttKcd member of the democratic party, and were 'denied" on the ground, that we once refused to 'puff the afore said extinguished individual through the col umns of tho Democrat & Sentinel, although he offered to pay us liberally for so doing.

We are very sorry to sav' that we did not receive it until yesterday afternoon, and cannot therefore publish it this "week. We will publish it next week. In a private note to the Editor Carroll says "There is great excitement here, and Northern men are now as free to express their, sentiments in fa vor of disunion, as the most ultra Southern ers " A bad state of affairs certainly. -" . Senator DIgrler?a Bill. Hon. William Biglet haa-: introduced into the U S. Senate, a bill for the protection of the States and Territories from' invasion. The following is a synopsis, of its most impor tant provisions. The bill has evidently bjen prepared with much care, and is eminently worthy of the distinguished conservative and patriotic statesman who ii its author. We hope it will become a law during the present session of Congress.. The developements that have been made si nee the Harper's Ferrv in- surrection, show that there , are men in the Northern States, thorough lv -organized for the purpose of invading the Southern States and liberating the slaves. Nothing will prevent them from attempting this,' but the certainty of defeat, and prompt .and tigorous punish ment : - ... ;.nr in.- Section 1.

Morris and Wil lis never putlibh anj thing as a fact, that is not well authenticated Shetland is certainly the paradise of old maids. It appears, that, in Shetland, the greater number of marriages are between youths of nineteen and maids of thirty-two! "When ever a young man can act bis part iu the man ning of a boat, he has arrived at the height of his ambition, and therefore is no wonder at his marrying early; but why he pitches on an old maid, instead of a young girl, is ; not so easily accounted for. unless it be that young men have a peculiar affeeiioc for old maid?, as old men have a peculiar affection for young girls." A recent account of that land of inverse-ra tio-sensation, published in an English Review says very authentically; "In no country is a lover so faithful to his mistress as in Shetland. I never heard of a Shetland sailor nbo was guilty of a breach of promise, altboagh he should be absent for ten years. Not only does he not break bis en gagement, but he never fails to write tu his beloved one in effusions of the most endear ing nature, always begining or ending bis epistle with 'My Pet, 'My Jewel 'My Watch,' or 'My Diamond!' Years before the celebration of the marriage, -the woman is by no means slack in telling all her neighbors of the particulars of the engagement, and of the year, and of the month, and of the day, and of the hour when it is to be celebrated?' &.

The dates from Jefferson City are to Jan uary 12tb, Salt Lake to December 30th. The advices from Mountain City say the miners are still profitable at work in that neighborhood. Elections had been held in the mountains, in which the question of organizing the counties under the Provisional Government was largely defeated. The general expres sion is in favor of a separate political organi zation by Congress, aud against a connection with Kansas The want of mail facilities with New Mexi co are sensibly felt. The distance from Leav enworth to Santa Fe, via Denver City, is not greater than from Independence, the present starting 'point ; and the former route has a line of settlements ' along the whole extent. The emigration in the Spring is expected to greatly exceed that of last season. The Pike's Peak express will run tri weekly after the 1st of February.

Several others were slightly injured. :- Presidential Programmes. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald professes to give an account of a meeting of several leading Republicans of the country in New York city, just previous to the session of the Republican National Committee, called "to deliberate on the pro gramme of 1860." The said meeting is rep resented as being almost unanimous in the opinion that Mr. Seward would not answer for Presidential nominee, but that some such man as Mr. Bates of Missouri must be pre sented for President, with either Gov. Banks or Gov. Morgan for Vice President. Tho writer says of the gentlemen composing the meeting: "They even went so far as to discuss the question of a Cabinet programme, being as follows. Banks, Secretary of State. Cameron, Secretary of the Treasuary. Lincoln, Secretary of the Interior. Pettigrew, of S. Carolina, Attorney Gen eral. - Botts, Secretary of War. Bell, Secretary of Navy. Baker, of California, Postmaster Genera! It was agreed that Seward should go Min ister to England, and take his chances for Lancaster County Democratic Contention. The Democratic Convention of Lancaster county, met on Wednesday last, and was ful ly attended, fifty districts being represented out of the fifty-three The resolutions, which were adopted unanimously, fully endorse the policy of the National Administration.

Lynch the inurdtier. attempted to escape from the court room whero his trial wa oing on. At the time the court adjourned, ab)ut 7 o'clock the number in attaudaoce was unusually large. Lynch srarted from his seat, as tie people began to move out, and iu tha crowd and confusion, he had got half way to the door, before the discovery was made. He was proceeding towards the door as fast as possible, when he was seized and secured, though not without a harl strugle. During the remainder of his trial, twoTor three con stables were constantly by bis side. After the verdict of the jury, and he was taken back to his cell, it was deemed necessary to put him in irons, and to accomplish this it re quired the full strength of fiveiu.iti. He beg ged of the Sheriff to shoot him. cut him into pieces or kill him in any way. and if he would j not do it, go and ask tho JuJe to do it, j rather than to chain him to the floor. Not withstanding it was believed be was securely fastened, it was found on Sunday morning that he had drawn the staple from the floor during the night, having loosened it by bur ning a hole around it. On Monday he was again fastened, and it is fully believed, in such a way, as to preclude the possibility of his obtaining his liberty. He raves terribly and makes the most wicked threats against several persons, if he should manage toes cape. The day fixed for his execution, is Friday, the 23 of March. Mount Holly (A r.) Mirror. Tbe Spanish Morocco War. Diplomatic advices give materially differ ent version of the Morocco war from tbe Spanish accounts. The Moors had proved a uiuch more formidable enemy than was antic ipated, and diseases, which entered the Span ish camp, had seriously impaired the efficien cy of the troops. One of the principle caus es of the war was tbe representations made to France, by her diplomatic agent, that the Moors were dissatisfied with the present Sul tan, Sidi Mehommed; and the country was ripe for a revolution, there being five aspi rants for the Sultanship. It was also stated that, on the first appearance of a European force, or hot from a vessel of war, no oppo sition would be made, each aspirant being willing to weaken Sidi Mehommed, and con ciliate the invading foreigner. That informa tion was communicated to Spain, and, under a belief in its correctness, a programme of conquest was drawn up, which was to occupy only 29 days, when Gen. O'Donnell was to salute the Queen from Tangier " Their mis take was only discovered after an invasion was begun, and the holy war, aa it is called instead of weakening, has strengthened the ruler. Spain has suffered heavy losses in men and money, in this rash enterprise, which was started on false information.
