S ABOUT HONIE:1
Itor We would remind our readers that a
National Sermon will be preached in the Bap.
list Church of this place, on the evening of the
24th inst setting forth the actual evils and the
evil tendencies of slavery in a republican go,
ernment. Go, every one and hem it.
This is right. Let the men of God uphold
that principle in true Christianity—that truism
that Slavery is an institution of Satanic origin.
Let the people know it from the sacred desk.—
What, though a few of the Christian ministers
of this enlightened age, to whom the clank of
the bondman's chains and shaeliles, and the
hiss of the overseer's whip, is music, denounce
it as a desecration ; what though these men
who hid us send the Bible to heathen abroad,
while they countenance the very agent that is
destroying souls at kome,'should call it a "use•
less agitation," remerube; that it is a duty.
We have no faith iu a minister or a man who
can Feu no evil in Slavery. We donbt any one's
piety who tells us that the Bible sanctions it.
The ISihle itnnetion tyranny and oppression !
The Bible sanction ignorance, cruelty, and a
system of evil as pernicious as Satan himself
Preposterons. They tell US that God Almighty
permits it to exist as an evil. If so, is that an
argument why a Christian Minister should, by
supinely folding his arms, and studiously clog•
ing his ears, and not daring to open his lips on
the subject, endorse the system as of Heavenly
origin? In the strum sense might disease and
pestilence be said to be of like origin, because
the great God permits them to sweep over the
globe, messengers of destruction. Oh, no.—
Disease, and famine, and pestilence, and
very, are of Hell and the Devil, and it is as
much the duty of every one to pray and work
for the cheek of the one as for the other.
kW- It was generally believed by the people
of Altoo;a, that M . Kini, the ninglierer of Nor
cross, secreted the proceeds of his horrid botch.
cry near the spot where the deed Was commit
ted, and that he would cne day return to get it.
On last week the town was thrown into a state
of intense excitement, by the appearance of a
man answering the description of M'Kim.—
Some fifty men, armed with revolvers, and °tit
er weapons, pursued him first to Kittanning
Point, and front thence to Hollidaysburg,. where
he eluded his pursuers on Monday. It is said
that the Governor of Massachusetts has offered
a reward of $l,OOO, for his arrest, and the Free
Masons of Altoona $5OO, the' relatives of the
deceased $2OO. Gov. Polloek has also issued
a proclamation, offering $5OO to any person
who shall apprehend and secure the murderer,
and Ile enjoins all judges, justices, eo•oners,
sheriffs, constables, and other otlicers within
this Commonwealth, to be attentive .d vigilant

perpetrator of this awful crime. This makes
