ROEMrtrr v7EITM IaDZZI:LE2'ON.:I STAR & REPUBLICAN BANNER. By ROBERT W. MIDDLETON. CLETTYSBURG3I, PA. FRID.II; June 30, 1837. A Noble Sentiment. (Ern a late letter of the great and good Dr. eIIANNING, ho says: look with scorn upon the selfish greatness of this ...world, and with pity on the most gifted and prosne `,•rous in the struggle for office atuipower; but I. look .with reverence on the obscurest nion who suffers "for the right—who is true to agood, but persecuted 'Phis is a noble sentiment, and entertained, or at least practised but by a few. The majority of men reverence power and are friends to the pros perous; but they, despise the poor, the humble and the unfortunate, no matter what they may have done or suffered for the cause of Justice and Hu manity. In Prosperity, the gilded things bask in its sunshine; but when the clouds of Adversity or Persecution begin to lower, they creep away to shelter under—for the time—some more success ful and fortunate adventurer in the drama of life! Such is the experience of any one who takes note of the actions of the world. Wo copy the following proceedings of tl.e Franckean Lutheran Synod from the Utica,N.Y. "Friend ofidan:!!.. They.were. communicated for that paper by the Rev. Jour( D. LAWYER, a Lu theran Clergyman, who states that they are Impor tant as being the first Anti-Slavery resolutions passed by thatconnection. We ask our Lutheran readers to give those resolutions an attentive pe rusal. We trust the time will soon come when they will agree with their'New York brethren in declaring that they do not deem it inexpedient for Ecclesiastical Bodies to interfere with the Aboli tion' of Slavery,litit that it is the DUTY of all such bodies of every Evangelical denomination, to bear their decidedtestimony against the Sin of Slavery. From the Friend of Man Trauckean ,Lutheran Synod. At a late Session of this Synod, held at Fords. bush, Montgomery county, N.Y., on the 25th of May, 1837, theTolleolving resolutions wore passed on the subject of Amormaa Slavery, viz: Resolved, That Slavery, i to it exists in the Uni. ted States,tho holding•in bondage and buying and soiling human beings, is 'a sin in the sig ht of God, opposed to the spirit of the Gospel,and a violation of tho inalienable rights of man. Readied, - That wo do not deem it inexpedient for Ecclesiastical bodies to interfere wills tho Abo lition of Slavery, but that it is the duty of all such bodies of every evangeliCal denomination, to bear thou, decided testimony against the sin •OfSlavory. Reso/ved,That wo have abundant Callan rbriliociti humiliation before God, "That, us a denomination, wo aro so deeply involved in the sin of Slavery, and that so ninny of our Ministers practice the Crime; and so many others justify them in their iniquity.

FOR THE GETTYSDUROR STAR AND DANNER Mr. Cooper's Speech on Abolition IcoricLuDED FROM JUNE 9.] Having already said something upon the results of Anti-Slavery operations, I might safely pass by the reiterated charge next brought forward—viz: "its fruits are nothing but bitterness and misery' even to the slave"—"it. has increased his burden and made his yoke to gall." It has already been shown that the worst enactments in the Maryland code, were passed some years before an Anti-Slavery Society— (except the old ono formed in this State in 177-) wits in existence. Much more so is this the fact, regard to other sfaveholding states—Virginia, Caro lina, and Louisiana, for instance. Perhaps some of these iniquitous enactments may have been more ri gidly enforced since that time—but why blame aboli tionists with other men's sins? It is not they who op press the slave, but his master does it. Admitting what the gentleman says to be true, it is only just such a case as happened some two or three thousand years ago. Moses exhorted Pharoah to mancipate Israelites whom he held in bondage.— Instead of complying, with this request, the Egyptian •increased their burdens'—not only retailed to let them worship the God of their fathers. hut command ed their labor to be made as oppressive as possible—. they Were to make brick without the requisite straw. Now, will any one presume to charge the guilt of this • increased oppression upon Moses who was doing all he could to terminate it? But it is just as reasonable to do so as to transfer the guilt of the shareholder from him to the abolitionist. So that unless other proofs can be brought forward, Mr. C. must completely fail iu justifying his opposition to immediate emancipa• lion by the plea that "it is not right to do wrong:" No one will pretend that abolitionists are'infallible —that all their sayings and doings are the best possi ble—but it is our firm conviction that they are in the maitkright, and that their purposes are pure,and their plans the bust; that have . Yet been brought forward Thus, in opposition to the gentleman's argument, we think them both philosophical and philanthropic in theirproceedings Moses was a philosopher enligh tened by divine wisdom, and with him they say, "let my people go." CLAnxsoNand WILDERYORCE were philanthropists, and with them they aim at striking elf the chains that wear intothe body & crush the soul. Besides, many of the most profound thinkers and a cute reasoncra that this or any other age his produced have enrolled themselves in their ranks. Cu A NUN, WADDLAW, WAYLAND have all substantially advo cated their views. And as to philan•hropist s , scarce. ly any man couspiciVnis for his laborsof love, looks with indifference upon their exertions. Who eau doubt the disinterested benevolence of such menu s TARPAN,SI4I,TD and DELnvAlq? But let us pars on to,the next. which is the favorite argument of all who wish to stand aloof from this cameo in the Free States : -"Is this the proper field foe the operation of abolitionists?" It is alleged, that the Apostles preached to those whom they wished to convert, and that in imitation of their example f abolitionl,l should go and proclaim their doctrines in the streets of Baltimore, Charleston and Now Orleans. mir, they (lid enrnmen , ...e their npt•ratinnvi n Baltimore, and what was the consequence? Why, because Mr. Lurrnit denounced an infamous slave dealer, he was attacked by him in the public streets, knocked down with a loaded whip and his flesh tram . pled from his faCe by the iron-heeled boot of a mis creant whose profession inured him to groans,and tears and blood! In like manner was C./ammo:l prosecu fed for a libel by a shipper of human cattle, in regard to whom lie hail published a simple statement facts —for which lie was condemned to rot for months in a common prison among felons and murderers! Such is the mildest fate that any man who publicly exerts himself in this cause, south of Pennsylvania, can ex pect! Now, our Saviour has told us, "when ye are per secuted in one city, flcq to another," and this aboli tionists have done. Garrison is tr.w in I3oston, Lun• dy in Philadelphia—each exerting a far greater in fluence upon the South . , than they ever did by their united ellbrts while residing there. The celebrated mathematician and mechanic, Archimedes, once ex claimed, "Give Inc a place to stand, and I will move the world." This "place to stand" was what aboli , tionists Wanted; and, thank Heaven, they have found it in our Free States. Using this fulcum, with the lever of the press, worked by the moral power of TRUTH, they trust ere long to overthrow the BASTILE OF SLAVERY which has so long confuted two millions of our fellow men in darkness and despair. Yes, there is a work of immense importance that they can here carry on. They can multiply argu ments, and remonstrances, in pages and volumes, and pour a continued stream of light upon this subject, which must flow in upon the South however they may close their eyes and their consciences. They can array all the moral feeling of the country azainst this system and create an atmosphere of old fashioned liberty like that generated in the stern days of 'W— an atmosphere in which Slavery cannot long breathe. These things being so, it is passing strange that this taunt "Go to the South," should thus be brotizht for ward on every occasion. What °tension is there for a personal . presence, when every purpose can be so much mote readily accomplished ? Do those who urge it, think that the bodies of ablitionists, wasting in prisons, or maltreated by an infuriate mob exert/ ling Lynch law, or dangling in chains upon a gibbet, or burning at the stake, are the only appeals that will . rouse this nation from Its guilty slumbers? If this is indeed so, the victims will be ready at the appointed hour of sacrifice; but we trust that Heaven will be propitiated by milder means—that we will not be called to such a sacrifice. As to the charge of quackery, which is so facetious ly urged, so far from being reasonable, it is hardly what it was intended for—witty!—for it has, as a comparison, scarcely the faintest resemblance to the reality. Regarding public opinion in Pennsylvania as diseased, Abolitionists endeavor to apply to it the ap propriate remedy—correct information. But for the' sin of Slaveholding they reprove the South; and al though their reasonings upon that subject nre printed and published here, they take care that they are for warded to the proper patient. It is only where the disease is the same, that they prescribe the same re medy. Aristocracy, avarice, injustice,robberr of the poor,and prejudice, are the same crimes North turd South of Mason and Dixon's line, and for them they would give the same prescription—thus adopting a sound, not a quackisk system of Homccopathics—cur tug the same disease by the same remedies—not ap plying one nostrum for all maladies. Bui,as the gen te,man himself very properly observes, this is trifling and we milt abjurt il. . • Mr. C. next attempts to prove,that the agitation of this subject is pregnant with evils. If he merely means, that the fierce and bitter spirit that has been displayed is to be deprecated, I entirely agree with him—it is devoutly to be hoped,that this may at once disappear. But if he means, that nothing should be said upon the suhjcct,and that the evils which he enu merates have resulted from the course pursued by A bolttunists, I entirely reject his conclusion. It is not necessary that we should here assert the rig,ht of free discussion upon this as well us upon evL•- rs other subject. No onoove feel assured,would con tend more enrnestly for it than Mr. C. himself. 13n he seems to ljeny the expediency of using that right in the present instance • and under existing circumstan ces. We feel ourselves bound to exercise this right :Imo especially, for these (to say nothing of other) reasons: Ist If we tamely surrender this right,it may be only the first step towards rcbbing us of others e• guallv important. 2d. Slay.•holding is a great moral and •political evil, against which we feel it our duty, as men and as Christ‘ans, to protest. 3d. We pro test against it, both for the sake of the master and for the sake of the slaire—it corrupts the former and de grades the latter. 4th. We feel ourselves bound to intercede in behalf of the slave more particularly, be cause he is too ignorant to manage his own cause suc cessfully, too weak to assert his rights by force, and because the national compact under which we live binds us to aid and abet the master in maintaining his Pesent position. sth. There is no other way by which our object (of the justice and holiness of which the laws of God and man alike assure us) can be ac- complished —it k by discussion, examination, reason- Mg upon the truth that men are led to do that which is right in other matters, and it is thus we hope to influence them here. It is, therefore, absolutely necessary to agitate the question—we feel that we must be guilty ., and degra ded if we do not. And if those to whom we appeal refuse to take our counsel in good part, having prof fered it in a proper spirit and with the hest of motives we regret their determination, but must discharge our duty. The next objection urged against nbolitionists that their measures have a tendency to destroy the Union. To all the rhetoretical flourishes upon this subject I think it sufficient to ansiver,that unless slave ry is abolished 41,1)y its very naturcand tendency,musl destroy the Union ! Was not one prominent object in the formation of this Union, the rrpetuation of a Republican Govern ment? Has not this feeling "grown with our growth and strengthened with our strngth?'!- % iWill the peo ple of our Free States ever submit to any other form of Government? But is not Slavery the rankest, most glaring form of aristocracy? Does it not tend to make labor and laborers disreputable and degraded? Will not the same arguments that hold the negro in bondage, be equally valid to prove that our white laborers, farmers and mechanics, should be made the tinlone of !tome wealthy nabob? Such is the natural tendency of the southern system; and in the ordinary coarse of human affairs, it cannot be long before this tendency will be so fully manifested, that the people at large must see and feel it. When that once be. comes the case,•they will not be long in presenting one or the other ofthese alternatives—either the South must abandon Slavery, or we will abandon the South. To prevent this latter termination, to hold together this edifice, cemented by our father's' blood,ind adorn ed by otir toil, is not - the - least object that abolitionists have in view—and full well 1 know,that the pra T er of thousands of them day after day still is, in the lan guage of one who has devoted himself to the preser vation of Conßtitntional Lihmsivl—•'Qod grant that "I WISH NO OTHER HERALD, NO OTHER SPEAKER OF MY LIVING Action, TO KEEP MINE HONOR PROH CORROPTION."—SHARS. eimwozaztrataza. zpgiaca auttaAalr e aupoeiß abo actavQ. traded meeting in one of those long ravines, I un dertook to cross a foot way called “Linn's Pail)," a distance of three miles. It being impossible to obtain a horse,and equally so to use one,l addressed myself to the task on foot. I lost the path, where men mostly forsake that of virtue, just when it turned up the mountain, and the walking became difficult. The day was pleasant, and the wild flowering Laurel checked the hills with that beau- tiful flower which few travellers pass without plucking; and ns I came into a little clearing, the air was one voice of the ten thousand birds, which sung as birds will sing infer° a shower in a wain] afternoon. There was the long whistle of the plover, the short jerk of the quail,the scream of the kill-deer, the peep-pee of the small snipe, besides the ordinary troop of robins, thrushes, cat-birds, blue-birds. meadow-sparrows, each singing, as it seemed, its very heart out, while the funeral coo of the doves and the eternal clatter of black-birds tionist never likes to go back. I addressed myself to the mountain and climbed directly up its side; near a quarter of a mile of which I used both hands and feet to ascend over rock above rock. The sun came out like a glowing furnace. My clothes were torn through with the briars, and literally wet through with perspiration; but I did not see a rattle-snake or mcoppor-head—nor did I know till afterward that the hills were full of them. The only serpents I saw,wcro a thousand-legged worm, and a large bug. I climbed a chestnut on the top, but could see nothing but a steep wooded valley before me,with out •inhabitant, and mountain beyond mo•mtnin, stretching( away to the other horison. 'The shower now came bellowing among the hills, and wet me as thoroughly from , without as perspiratimt had done from within. I slid along down by one means and another, and following the course of a brook came to a path which brought me to an old man, wh9 brought me to the meeting I sought by crossing another mountain stilt—making in all above twelve miloe I had travelled to got forward hut three, weak, wet, and weary! Yet my walk was amply repaid, by finding a frank, hnspitpble, 'lvory-hating people. and hr when'rny eyes arc turned foi the last time to behold thtl' sun In heaven, they may not see him shining upon States 4lissevered,belligerent,rent with civil feuds, & drenched, it may bc,•iu fraternal gore! May my last lingering glance behold the glorious ensign of the Re public still fair high advanced; not a single stripe e rased, nor n.single star polluted." In conclusion, Mr. Editor, let me express the" hope thnt the author of the speech which we have had under consideration, will transfer his talents and clognencei so strongly displayed even in this "cause, too weak to carry him and too heavy to be borne by , him," to one which, I am sure, is more congenial to his gener ous disposition—to one, the success of whichinvotves the defence of the weak and the overthrow of tyranny.

Letter trom 11.11. Blanchard Correspondence of the Gettysburgh Star. SIIIPPENSBURGH, Juno 23d, 1837. DEAR Stn:—The friends of the oppressed in your County will be glad to learn, that there aro multitudes of the "true-hearted and the unshack led" in Frank!in. Last night we had a large and successful meeting in the "Union School-house," about five miles from this borough. To-night I lecture in Roxbury, and to-morrow in Amberson's Valley. The independent and virtuous citizens of this county regard the outrage committed upon humanity and law in the borough of Chambers burgh with just abhorrence; and the thought that Slaveholders and their creatures are 'soon to gov ern this country, and make laws for free laborers, in case Florida or Texas is admitted to our Union, chills them with horror at the prospect! The people in this region, as every where else, have been grossly deceived.us to the true princi ples of the Abolitionists, by the "lying spirit" of Shivery, which has gone abroad in the land; but the moment they fully understand our sentimenLs they embrace them, almost en masse. One man' in Amberson's valley who had been much oppos ed to us, went away from a.meeting last Friday night, saying, "Well, If that man is not right, I've lost my senses." The meeting was large—Church much crowded. • If the pleading sufferings of the imbruted, die humanized, and crushed slave would let my heart stray from the subject of his wrongs, I could not fail to admire this part of Pennsylvania. These valleys, inter-ribbed with bold and precipitous mountain-threads, present a variety of landscape altogether unlike any other in the world. I have lately travelled many of them on foot. Last Saturday week, wishing to attend a pro. • hut stop— I had lost my way, evidently, for the false-path iud taken now came to an end. An Almli- being sung to sleep that night by a whip-poor-will which sat almost within reach of my bed's head.— Besides, I learned by that afternoon some valuable lessons—That a man feels easier when ho is in no pal h. than while he fears he is travelling in a wrong one: That even an Abolitionist cannot safely rely on his own judgement as to directions, etc. in a country he has never travclled,or on subjects which he knows nothing about: That a man may have a very right aim, but a wrong direction: That two ' drunkards have been frozen to-death in g , lforse Valley," and that the Humming-bird builds its nest on the top of a dry limb, and beneath a large leaf to keep the rain from breaking the eggs. If I make any other important discoveries in these valleys and mountains, I shall not fail to lay them before your readers with all convenient speed. ' Meanwhile, I remain, Dear Sir, Yours for the crushed and stricken, T. BLANCHARD. 4 2LEILB CQ..EM.6),MEDO -"With sweetest flowers enrich% From various gardens coll'd with care." From the Trenton (N.

Time speeds away, away, away, Like torrent in a stormy day!

SEDGWICR. To the Editom of the Iffelropolitan: GENTLEMEN-4 was, a few evenings since, at a friend's house, Mr. J's. Ho is ono of the severe sufferers by the 9 disastrous times. Some few weeks ago he belieVed himself worth half a million. JOSS' has accumulated upon loss here, and, last week, the return of his bills upon a Bankrupt house in England completed the wreck of his fortune.— At the time of his failure, his daughter, my lovely friend Helen, was on the point of marriage . with a young lawyer, who by dint of talent and industry, has earned an education, and who during the last year, the first of his professional career, has been in the receipt ofsomo ten or twelve hundred dollars. This,of course,was a very inadequate income for a lady accustomed to an establishment scarcely sur passed in luxury by any in our city. But this mat tered not to Helen, or Helen's father. He 'chose,' ho said, 'that his daughter should marry poor men; ho had enough for them all.' And lie was actu ally in treaty for a fine house for Helen, and had decided on the amount of a most liberal portion to be settled on her,when the blow catne,which depriv ed him of the ability to give her a shilling. Cir cumstances added mortification to disappointment. Mrs. J. had left her 'at home' cards at the houses of her friends. The wedding dresses and the wed. ding presents were made. The bridal veil and wreath and wedding ring were baught, and the wedding cake was actually in the house. At this crisis it was that I had gone, any face full of condolence, if it did any justice to my heart, which was full of sympathy, to pass the evening at her father's. I did not find Helen at home, but there were several persons there, casual visiters, friends of the family, like myself. Apprehension, sadness, or dismay sat on every countenance.— The conversation naturally turned upon the all absorbing topic of the day. Each one had his mel ancholy tale to relate; for each ono had his hopes, One told of ono failure, and ono of another—one gave a list of disasters abroad, 'and another pro duced an actual record of bankruptcies at home. It was prophesied that all who had not failed would furl. 'There is nothing left to fail,' exclaimed Mr. J. striking his hands with Vehement impatience, 'the banks have failed, and the government has failed—every body and every thing has railcar— . 'Not every thing, my dear father,' exclaimed .Hel 7 on, who just then entered with her lover, hor face radiant with an expression that indicated that her happiness was secured from failure by bond and mortgage, 'not every thing, sir—the moon has 'not failed!' This happy turn of my friend gave an, impulse to my mind, and set me to observing who and what had not failed. I give you the result of my observations in the hope that it may lead others to look boyound the shadow of this eclipse: While returning home I echoed my friend's words, 'in-• deed the moon has not failed!' She, with her glorious train of stars, was looking down serenely on our troubled city, bearing a message of love to the disquieted spirit, an assurance that there is a better joy awaiting those 'who have ceased to re juice because their wealth is great,and because their hand has gotten much.' On my way I meta friend returning from the theatre—'Did Ellen Tree suc ceed?' I asked. 'Did Ellen Tree ever fail,' he re plied. 'No—all the world may fail; but Ell en Tree, sweet Ellen Tree, cannot fail?' I entered my home, my old deaf friend, Mrs. S., was stting alone reading so, intently, that she did not observe me. Her book touclied the fountains of feeling. She wiped her spectacles, and once or twice laughed aloud. Alt! thought I, books have not failed. Tho exhaustless magazines of happi-. ncss, these silent ministers to the soul, these wel come and successful missionaries to all parts of the civilized world have not, and cannot fail! As I went to my room I met our faithful nurse, going her accustomed round to take a last look at the sleeping children. 'Kindness and fidelity in domestic service have not failed,' thought I, as I looked at their impersonation in this excellent Woman; 'nor has their sweetest reward failed,' I further thought, when ono of the little girls, her slumbers fora moment broken, murmured, kissing her nurse, 'Oil! is it you, mommy?' and then she fill into , the arms of sleep, the 'sweet restorer,' who never fails to inr•.ocent healthful childhood. Morning, and the sun, who always meets his en gagements, came, and clouds, which,in this spring time seldom fail, appeared and poured down their nourishing stores, threatening to disappoint my project of a stroll to Hoboken with a Party of chil dren who were watching the Heavens as nothing else is now watched, but the money market. The morning passed, dinner came, and the desert and the baby, the youngescof six, and the pet of them all. She looked as bright as Guide's Aurora, as she made her grand entree in her brother's arms, attended by her train of sisters. At the sight of her the - clouds of care, that in these careful times accumulate, vanished from her father's brow. Her mother greeted her with the chorus of her favorite nursery song, "ChM?, a-Horn-Hoz ching dice, Ilea ding a linkum darkcy!" To which she replied by clapping her hands and dancing her feet, and then amidst the acclamations of her loving audience she played her part—'almost standing plone.'mlmost saying mamma'—sitting in the centre of the table and rolling an orange to each, and replying to the caresses of all with a grace significance never in the world seen—except frimi. the youngest of every happy home. 'Riches tnay take to themselves wings,' thought I,mnd fly away; but the love of parents, of brothers and sistem;,thO beauty and joy of infancy, the riches which.Hea von has ordained and watches over, never fail. • The clouds passed off and we went to Hoboken. The grass, freshened by the recent shower, seemed greening under our feet.: The birds were on the wine singing n todeum for the return of spring.— The buds were bursting into leaves, the dog-wood was just unfolding its white blossoms, and the vio let opening its blue eye. 'Nature has not failed,'; thOught I. 'Oh' that the worn, disippointed,WeTtil sick denizens of you city would come forth, and enjoy a possession common to all, which wealth cannot buy, nor poverty sell, chartered by Heaven, and independent of this bank note world!' .On our return I met in the boat my friends Mr. ' and Mrs. E. They have shared the disasters of the times, without having provoked them by spec ulation or extravagance, end now were about to leave their beautiful house in—Square for a humble country lodging. They were both cheer ful, she rather more so than usual; and when I re marked this she said, 4 have reason for it. I now know what we can and What we can't lose; and the balance is, beyond estimation, in our favor.— This is no place or time for sentiment:" she glanced her eyes fondly from her husband to her little boy who held her 'band, 'or I would tell you what of most precious I have not lost, but even here I may say, that though my husband's business has failed, his integrity, ability, industry, and enterprise have not failed.' 'Neither,' thought I, 'does the fideli- ty of a true-hearted wife, her tenderness, fortitude, and elovatcdness, put her to what trial you will, ever fail! ' The next day was Sunday. In the evening, our pastor preached upon the times, and from the text, 'who shall separate us from the love of Godl' and I helievo'not an individual left the church without a sense of the littleness of those temporal possessions that are liable to fail, and a deep grid hide for those eternal and illimitable riches that aro offered to our grasp. When I came home I found the following note from Helen .1. "My dear friend, my father has at longth.con- Booted that I shall not participate in the general bankruptcy, so, pray come to-morrow, the day originally appointed for my wedding, and witness my non-failure. Thanks to my mother I have been so instructed in domestic economy, that I may indulge in tho luxury of marrying the man love, though he have not above a thousand dol ars a year; and as I hold true-love, capacity, in tlustry, and frugality to bo a sufficient security, do not fear that we shall fail in our conjugal par nership."

Van Buren will learn, ere long, that he'. must must cast his whole system of experiments, of metnlic currency and specie cireutars;to the moles and the bats of "the partth" and tall in with the manifest interests of the country and the just requirement of public sentiment.

It is stated that an evident increase has been observed in the consumption ofspirits and tobacco in New York, occasioned, as supposed, by persons addicting themselves to the bottle as a relief against the.hard times. What an unspeakable madness! , to fly from evil that can be overcome by man ly fortitude, and throw themselves into the -arms of indulgences that can only aggravate' the mischiefs to cure which they are sought after.
