It is enough toknow that being *- “SubduedEven to the very quality of her. lord”she did her ‘soul and fortunes consecrcfte.’ It is stated that the bride’s father* jwho is a clcrgymaofihas heretofore ‘argued that there should be Jnor social barriers between the races,’ He now, however, is heart-broken that the lesson he taught was learned so well, and wofully laments that his instructions have so returned as to plague the inventor.’ The Syracuse Star publishes the marriage and says: [ClevelandHerald.We expected as touch. We were liberally abused for our discountenance qfVthist falsimarriage, and charged with wilful(\r falsifying facts, because we insisted that this affair was in contemplation and would yet go off. Prof. Allen denied it, and others thought that they had the most positive assurance from his statements that the amalgamajion wedding was a fiction. But now after he and his white brethren have liberally impugned our motives, charged falsehood upon us, and made solemn asseverations designed to make the public believe that no such thing was in contemplation, in two brief months the thing is consummated with allthe formality of a religious observance, and this unholy amalgamation is perpetrated before high heaven and asserted among men.Prof. Allen and his fair bride are nowin] Europe. It is well they should emigrate, to show admiring foreigners the beauties off American Abolitionism. Let them attend the reception of the Duchessof Southerland, the soiries of English agitators, and the% orgies of Exeter Hall. Let Geo. Thompson introduce them as the first fruits of thep/u-lanthropic labors in America. Let them travelamong the grovelmg English operatives, who would gladly accept slavery if assured of a peck of corn each week; let them wander among European serfs whose life, labor and virtue a re the sport of despots, compared to whom the crudest slave-driver is an angel, and there proclaim their *holy-alliance.’ If the victims of English and continental tyranny did not turn their backs, disgusted with the foul connection, their d£gredaiion must be infinitelygreater than we had supposed.Wprstpr IMphat An m#sdnt_ nf
