the following Proceedings of our baptist and preS5t,

word put in season-for it cannot bc denied that the
the Northern Ministers. few of the hotheads of The
clergy IN that quarter enter into the design with ,ut
go,'ed iemaesIIhey upon a few of their boys and
old men-and thus, the mischief is done The iron,
bod. body Of The Northern People, however, is upon
them. Public opinion is fearfuy operating against

be opened to their own folly They will cer,o;niu
be satisfied, if they will consult the voice of The Who'll
South that they counteacng the very object the
profess to have in viewand adding additional weight
TO The restrictions they affect great desire TO lighen

ny OF the Northern People, who have been msed by the
miseprcsci uoas ofhe Bigots will br satisfied that the
condition OF our slaves infinitely better han they
been taught TO bclevebette than the condition of the
free people of colour in the Northern States-betler fed
clothed lodged; better taken care of when they arc
sick-and provided for, when they become old In n
word the Northern Fanatics ought to let as aoae-and
let us manage our own affairs our way They can
carry out none OF their mad ynus they
