We recommend to the particular attention
of our readers the remarks of "a Friend to
Truth on our first page. There is nothing in
them TO which candid Baptists can object.
The statement oil facts cannot be questioned.
The consequences deduced from those facts
are fairly drawn. The writer discovers him
self TO be, what he subscribes himself friend
to truth There is no empty harrangue, and
bitter invectIve but our reason is addressed
and an appeal is made to our sense of right and
wrong. 70 bis sentiments on religious liberty,
they for whom the $ Baptist was intended will
most cordially subscribe. All who consider
the subject without prejudice, and coolly weigh
the arguments which have been used, viii cas-
lily decide Oh the merits OF the question.
Our Legislature is shewn to have been actu
ated by a spirit OF liberation. Il has secured
to every sect, its just rights. II has in re-
markable degree avoided every thing, which
could offend a par ocular denomination. We
wish the serious and 9considrrae among those
whom arttui attempts have been made TO pref
udice and mslead, could read the statement
Of facts and the observations wtieh the friend
to truth has made. 1t wou'. remove those
suspicious, which some of then. may have,
who do mol find access TO the sources of correct
information. Should the subject be generally
considered as candidiy and impariially. as be
has done, the jeaiouses which have existed,
would be soon forgotten.

COMMUlNIC ATIOV.

The present period Of the world seems to be mar.
ked with events which proclaim the sovereignty Of
the Great Jehovah, and which afford to christians
strong grounds to believe that the prediction of the
holy Scriptures concerning the universal extension
of their religion about to be fulfilled Who that
reflects on the exertions Of the numerous societies
established in almost every part of the world to
bring in the Jews with the fitness of the Gentle
natons-to turn the heather from their idols to the
worship Of the only living and true God--and the
acknowledgment OF his Son as the saviour of men,
but must see the hand Of His providence therein !;
and who that has regard TO bis glory, will not join
in such exertions and become helpers with him In
such cause. He can effect his designs without our
aid-but he sees fit to use means and employ men as
instruments to execute them. In addition to the
many societies that have been established for those
great purposes one has lately been established in
this town, denomnated
" The Portland Foreign Mission Society,""
At meeting of this s-ciety, the S0th ult. a Dis
course was delivered by the Rev. Mr.. Payson, set
ting forth the awful situation of the heathen and
showing from Proverbs %. II, i2, the duty of all
who enjoy the light and receive the blessings Of
the gospel, to contribute to the. reef.-It was
ably written and followed by Contribution, a.
mounting to 5 i0s.

SEPARATION OF MINE

The following schedule Exhibits the number
OF legal ,oter. in the District OF Maine, with
the Yeas and Nays upon the question OF Sep
aration, as officially returned and counted. 1t
appears but few more than fourth part of
tine legal voters have expressed their approba-
ton OF the measure, and above half did not
vote at ali. In the lower Senatorial District,
there is a majority of votes against separa.
ton-in Lincoln this majority is large.

New York to import full cargo of butter

SCHEDULE oE VOTES.

The Separation qasestion.-The public now
have full view OF the votes on the question
of Separation.
The whole number Of legal voters in Maine
is 37,828 not one h0L Of which have thought
the subject Of sufficient importance to go to
the meetings and express an opinion. OF
those who voted l0,393 were in favour OF sep
Grafton, and o,5Ol against it. Ii the advan-
tages OF separation were any thing like equal
to what has been represented by some, it
would seem that majority OF the people of
Name Wound have expressed such opinion by
their votes. By the Iate vote it appears that
but little more than quarter OF the legal
voters are IA favour vi epara:ion.-With such
lean vote il would be highly improper for
The Legislature to comply with the wishes of
50 sinai! a number OF voters, in opposition to
the negative wishes of such an overwhelming
majority.
Considering the advanced state of the season, we
have had remarkable cold weather these few days

The Philadelphia papers in noticing the
trial OF 1t. Richard Smith, for the murder
OF Capt John Carson, mention that the jury
in giving in their verdict asains,Smi,h that
he was guilty OF murder in the first de-
gree" accompanied the same with recon-.

Inn Carson was also arraigned as IN
abettos OF Smith in the murder OF her hus-

il was one of the most wanton and delibei ate
acts of the kiad ever perpetrated in this
country Captain Carson sailed from this
