the following Proceedings of our Baptia and PreSbye-
riam Churches against the Northern Fanatics 1t is "a
word put in seasonor, it cannot he denied that the
Evil has been fomrnted by the Fanalicism of some of
the Northern Ministers. few of the hohrads of the
Clergy in that quarter enter into the design, without
due consideration. They operate upon some of the BIZ

old mcn-aud thus, the mischief is done. The great
body of the Northern People, however, is upon

them. Aud it is to be hoped, the time is not far dis
tant when the eyes of some of the Enthusiasts will
| be opened 10 their own folly. They will certainly
be satisfied if they will consult the voice Of the whole
South that they counteracng the very object they
profess 10 have in View-and adding additional weight
the restrictions they affect great desire to tighten
and removc-The time, too, is far distant when

been taught to belierc-bette than the condition of tho
free people Of colour in the Northern Staes-betcr fed
clothed, lodged; better taken of when they

word the Northern Fanatics ought to let uionc-and
