(2) Is the duty of every christian to
labor for the promotion Of Temperance!
Yes. Isit the duty Of every christian to
labor for the abolition Of slavery? Yes
Is it the duty of all christians, at all times,
to cast their influence against any and all
manner of sin? Yes. How then can it |
be the duty of certain body of christians
to require one of their number to lab
stain from all interference with" GER
tain species Of sin :
(3.) 1t is not duty to abandon Tract
Society And the Tract Society should
be adhered to so long as it encourages no
manner of sin. But if it makes use Of
our money and influence to sustain sin,
it is time for us to demonstrate at least
How can it be our duty to contribute mo-
ney or influence, in support of sin?
az This is sound doctrine. Just so
far as the Board is implicated in sin, ap-
ply the same reasoning to them as to
brother Allen-that's ALL
, We are sorry that the following was
s received twenty-four hours too late for our
: last number. 1t seems that our "concili-
:, Gtory' brother "did not want the Anti
e Slavery anniversary held in his meeting
e house! Furthermore, he refused, or at
{ least neglected, to let the readers of the
e Telegraph have the notice of this meet
ing, in cennexion with the notice which
IS he gave of the others. Further still, the
- colonization papers of that county refused
4, to give notice Of the Anti-Slavery Society's
a meeting. Here is Cancellation with g
D. witness! "Why can't the two societie:
"A co-operate?" Is. not the question abun

20 WASHINGTON COUNTY IN. W ANTI
SLAVERY ANNIvERsARY
ne Br. Murray:
w. see by the last Telegraph, that Br
is Baldwin, ofour county, has requested 20,
hit to notice the approaching anniversaries
d. the benevolent institutions in this county
ey Allow me to add. by way ofsupplement t
On Br. BIS notice, that the Washington Conn
lot ty Anti Slarery Society will hold its an
IL niversary on the same week and at tn
l. same place with the other anniversaries
RS to wit, on Thursday the 28th of Januar,
,e- at 10 o'clock A. NJ, at the South villag
in Hartford. Although the notice of til,
th anniversary is excluded from all our coun
nut ty papers except one, yet rejoice that yo
no have given notice of all the others in YOU
to paper. Br Baldwin thought proper t
r pass by this anniversary, having his ey
SO intent on the colonization meeting; an
he then, as if something needed proping, add
Y? letter by way of apology, and attempt
ed a reconciliation between belligerent pal
So ties. We trust we shall not be deeme
e.) uncharitable, if like a true Yankee W
i'm shrewdly guess the object of that concil
I'll atory letter was to get people to attend tn
he colonization meeting Very well, this
cir all right IfBr. Baldwin wishes to pre-
Ill nounce eulogy ouer the carcass of til
to dead Lion, he will see some honest friend
CHI of the black man there to shed the tear
coincidence with him and all we ask
ter return is that Br. B. and all who thin
ds with him, will attend the Anti-Slaver
of meeting and hear and Judge. True, B
III B. did not want our anniversary held ;
to his church, for fear of getting up an e5
GU citensent;' but we trust his fears will prov
lip groundless. An excitement seems to te
ur rify the good brother. liza rum-seller, O
= if being reasoned with, should get mad an
er. threaten to dissolve the Union; Br.
en- would of course strive for the thing
No which make for peace" lest the rum-selle
sed should get up an excitement, and make
loo noise in community!
ng But we say mo, to them that cry peac
no. peace, where the Lord has not spoke
nd peace; who sew pillows to arm-holes, an
ice bolster up the Isouthernl people in iniqu
is, ty"
alb We should rejoice to see any of our We
NO mont friends at the anniversary.
