the editor he should have real with

alluded to-which may be found near the
middle Of the l43d page of the Telegraph
AMI he would have seen that "the col.
ums of the Telegraph are open,' either
for the " Rewritten article" or for a re-
ply to the review in other shape. The
Editor has sins enough heaped upon his
head from every quarter by the malicious,
! without their being augmented carclesslv
by beloved brother. The most painful
duty the Editor has yet performed, during
his short career, has been the rejection of
divers articles offered for the Telegraph,
for he we'll knew that the rejection would
give pain TO those W no were disappointed
but when he placed duty and the public
good over against private feelings, the
! former preponderated. In the instance
in which he incurred the strongest GEN.
! sure from individuals, his conscience vet
! approves the course taken, and he is now
fully satisfied that he is sustained in that
course by four ffths Of his readers. He
cannot expcc; that all his decisions will
be right; nevertheless decision there
must be, and he fervent]y hopes that it
may always he with some degree of can
dor, impartiolity and prayer. "Who is
sufficient for these things?"
In another part Of our paper we have
inserted the speeches Of Gerrit Smith ESQ.
and Rev. MI Galusha, before the Ameri-
can Anti-Slavery Society at its late ami
versary meeting. We need not inform
our readers that publishing the doings of
a society, does not imply appreciation of
its pan or measures. Our own views of
Ant-SIavery Societies have been repeat
edIy expressed, and We have seen no occa-
sion to alter them. We believe that the
formation of these societies at the North
is calculated rather to rctard than hasten
the happy termination of slavery at the
South. We believe that but for the iniu-
diclous lneddIing of Northern Anti-SIave-
~ men with the matter, the cause OF
emancip patton would have made great pro-
9ress, ere this, in MAJ yIand, Virginia and
kentucky.-[Ne,c- York ObserrcE.
REMARKS
" AMI what were these slaveholding
States doing towards emancipation when
the present anti-s,averv movement COM
menced at the North! Just what they
had been doing for half a ceutury-''lct-
ting the matter lone except what was
worse, they were "rroviling and keeping
open drain for the excess Of increase
beyond the occasions Of profitable employ
ment.' And what was being done at the
North to convince them of their sin, to
show them their folly, or to warn them of
their DANCE? Nothing-cyerythins done
} here tended to quell their fears and quiet
their conScicnces it was only helping
them to construct and work their safetv-
valve. They were not taught that slave
ry was sinful. The sympathy was for
the oppressor, more than for the oppress-
ed. Northern men by scores and hun
dreds were focking to the slavcholding
regions and taking up the traffic. Those
} who uttered a word by way of fixing on a
time for universal emancipation, put it eff
for at least century, thus leaving the la
Dor for after generations.
Such was the state Of things when the
meddling of Northern Anti-Slavery men
with the matter commenced. Now look
at the fruits of their doings. In the first
place, take naked facts Theodore D.
Weld, an agent of the American Anti
Slavery Society, who has lately been lee
, turing with great success in the State Of
Ohio, has now in his possession the names
of men in the slavehoding states who have
lately emancipated $50 slaves, as the re-
, suit Of this ''me1dling'' complained Of
