I Ift The Abolitionists.?Tins fanatical party \,. a religion and politics seems to be getting of ato difficulty. Men of reflection sa;v from the f511 lei eginmng that their principles if consistently 4 arricd out would lead to the subversion of all of utliority and the dissolution of all govern- j acnt and subordination both in the family ! tin " i nd the State. For in all governments au- i gr hority or control is exercised by our human i tic eing over others which, according to their ! indamental maxim is wron?. Some of them j jm w I i re now beginning to carry out tlieir princi- i on le*. II. C. Wright who was formerly a j a" 'rofessor, we think in the Western Reserve j 'allege, and who is now the "children's agent" ! to f the Anti-slavery Society, boldly teaches the i ^ i asi octnne that all human governments arc usur- \ Qf at ions, as the reader will see from his own j pu m^uage. IIss office is to travel over the ! pa O O ountry and collect together children whose J ra( arents are thoughtless enough to let him do j n a, teach them what he pleases. The follow- t'ni lg is taken from an account furnished by ; lar imself, for the Liberator of what occurred, on j 1,0 sabbath evening, in a fatndy circle where he : nd two other abolition agents met and spent! ^e| fie evening in giving instruction on the sub ret ict of their agency. Pa ua: " We came to the unanimous conclusion? ' ial (rod never did give to man dominion over cu] tan?that men, women, or children never j the hould be subjected, in any kind or degree, to ! cai he will of man-that when one man,in any way ' M r to any extent, subjects another man to his i Tfi rill, lie invades the prerogative of Gou. " | wh "An inquiry was started?\v hat Institu-1 the ions among men necessarily tend to subject i dei ian to the will of man? Whatever they j th? light be, it was concluded^ unanimously that; hey were malum in se?wrong in themselves. ; )ur school system, from the infant school, ?r< own to the University, as now constituted , nd managed, it was thought tended to en-; < lave the mind of man to man, to alienate the j j>? oul from God and bind it in chains of human j v' ervitude. All civil governments are design- , ' d to subject man to the dominion of man, and I Yc f necessity tend to this result. Therefore all i < luman governments.are usurpations; ncces-| vaJ arily wrong ; and no one who entered into the j Bhj iingciomot turn; snouiu nave any tiling toco j pr< vith them. This was a startling doctrine to j ome cf our precious little circle, and efforts j vere made to show that such were not the be lesign and necessary tendency of human gov- ha irnments." cx "The church and ministry were canvassed. >ome of our circle thought these institutions, i111 is now constituted, necessarily tend to sub- j Pa ect man to the will of man, to take man out i Si! rom under God's dominion, and subject liini! vv( o man's. It was thought that many minis j ers preached themselves rather Christ, and i . md were more anxious to establish their own. han Christ's influence over tnen. The do ncstic institution, though designed by God tv fcF' istablish his authority over the world, and pe ria :uliar!y adapted to this end, yet, as now man Pn iged, it was an engine to crush the soul and "a subject it to man. At least, it does little t( - an varus conquering the world to Christ. We included that when ever our love fur any fe Er ow being, whatever the relation sustained to hii is, leads us to think, speak or act with refer- mi ?nce to the will and pleasure ol that being, to >ur love was sin the sight of God." m; "Thus we settled the question, that God he done has a right of dominion over man?that le has never authorized man to exercise donion overman iu any form?not even parents >ver their children, for their duty is to subject no heir chddren to not their own will but to da jod's. Nor man over woman. Thus did we an conclude, that no institution designed, or no- inl '.essarilv tending, like livrnan governments and pr darerv, to subject man to the dominion of man Fr n Ijo approved of God. They must be on g." J Suc!i is the kind ofstulF which tlie aboli?n societies pay their agents to teacl). Of urse, tiiey do not all approve it; but the mber of those who do is sufficiently great rliaps to sustain II. C.

Albert Gallitin, Geo. Newbold, and C. W. iwrence were appointed a committee under s resolution, and accordingly ir-sued acircu' to the different banks proposing a conven. n. In the circular, the opinion is expressthat the resumption of specie payments imot safely take place before the foreign bt shall be so far liquidated or adjusted as to | luce the state of exchange to a true specie- | > r; which it supposed may be between Jan rv and March next. the Philadelphia Banks answered this cirlar, refusing their assent to a convention of i Banks, because in their opinion the Banks a do nothing and ought to promise nothing fore they know the action of Congress.? icy are unwilling to excite expectations tich may not he realized.
