COMMUNICATIONS.

My BR. MURRAY.-From what you have

are sent to you for publication, either from
want of sufficient merit in them, or of room
for their insertion in the columns Of your
truly useful paper. Your correspondents
doubtless know that the power of opening
and shutting the Telegraph is, and Of right
ought to be, solely in your hands. Heaven
grant you wisdom to direct you in this es-

Doubtless the editor Of the Spectator him
.,lf would withhold church fellowship from
the SLAYER, 50 called--the hunnan-aesh-dro-
1,r--who makes it his livelihood, his gain,
his whole business, to buy, and drive, and
sell his fellow-beings, whether his vile en-
nloyment is pursued on the coast Of Africa
~ in the United States. But to reproach
sodlv ministers and pious deacons, who do
nothing more than to furnish market for
these soul-drivers, this will never do! Now
which exsrts the most hurttul influence in
society--which does the most to perpetuate
intemperance with all its misery and ruin
which is the greater sinner before God, the
reckless, unprincipled distiller, who is noto-
rious for barbarity and brutality, or the godly
minister, so called, who goes occasionally
and buys q jug Of whiskey Of him, setting
public example for the church and the world
Let common sense answer. 1t does not SUI
Gee to say that this pious whiskey buying,
whiskey-drinking minister is not tyrant-
that he does not abuse his family-that ne IS
very orderly and peaceable in his use Of the
poisonous beverage. So much the worse
So much the greater is his influence against
temperance,-so much the more does he con-
tribute TO the perpetuation Of drunkenness.
Compared with this man, the drunkard in the
ditehis harmless The latter is only an OBJ
jeet Of disgust--a warning to those who look
on. The influence Of the former draws into
the way that leads captive to the place where
the latter now is, 1t is precisely so in re-
gard TO slavery. The slave-drver is an OBJ
ject of contempt and hatred even among
shareholders. 1t is he who has the greatest
weight of characterize who is called a
kind, pious master, who is doing most to per-
petuate this monstrous ystem of sin. We
are commanded not to partake Of other mems
sins. How do we obey this command, while
we extend the hand Of fellowship to those
who wilfully persist in sin, and say their sin
is not sin7 How shall we produce any con-
viction on their minds, short Of rebuking and
treating them as sinners7 1t is a strange
doctrine, that given act is less sinful when
committed by one making high pretensions
20 Christianity, than when committed by one
making no such pretensions. at is certain
that Christ and his apostles did not SO teach
or so preach"
These notes are already proracted greatly
beyond our design when we sat down. We
will only add that we trust the editor Of the
N. Y. Spectator will have the magnanimity
10 lay before his readers such parts and por-
ton Of them as are designed to answer his
inquiries relative to Jonathan P. Miller and
James G. Birney. OF the remainder he will
make his own disposal.

THE DIFFERENCE ofviews between the
New-Hampshire Baptist Register and the
New York Baptist Register, relative to
the late advance step taken by the New
York State Temperance Society, is indi-
Gated in the following extracts:
TOTAL ABsrrNENcE.-We are reioiced to find
that the principles of total abstinence from all in
toxicAting drinks, which are the only true prjn.
cipIeS on which the temperance reformation can
be sustained and completed. are inculcated hv so
many Of the papers and friends of the cause. At
late State Convention, held in New-York, the
following Resolutions were adopted BY a vote of
81 TO SO. &c--N. H Ba7. Regr,
THE TEMPERANCE SPEECHES promised last
week, we are obliged 10 postpone until next
numrer We are alarmed for the cause in its
present cordluon, and the true friends attached to
the old pledge ought to have meeting as soon as
possible to it from the disaster Of present d.
visions.--N Y. BsP, Regr.
They who have not sufficient moral
courage to venture q step independently
ofpublic opinion-who are governed sole
ly by erpsdjency-are always ALARMED"
when any good work falls into the hands
Of those who only inquire after truth and
dIty as their rule Of action. Not many
days since we were filled with mingled
amusement and pity, while listening to a
speech in a temperance meeting from one
Of these advocates Of expediency, who
would not have truth thrown out to pub
| lie view too suddenlv-uor too much Of it
thrown out at time-lest the exhibition
oftruth should hurtthe cause of truth
The subject under consideration was this
same total abstinence question lately agita-
ted and settled at Albany. Our speaker
was very much alarmed, lest those who
have taken up forward march" should
go 100 fast for those who "are as much in
favor of temperance as any body-but-
but"-they do not like to pledge them
selves to abstain from wine and cider
Adhere is the pinch. He feared tina
if the new pledge was adopted, many wht
stand on the old would 60 back.
This is certainly most pitiable posi-
ton. What will be gained by going back
or what by standing still? Whatever 0
vitality the old pledge ever possessed--on
the pulse was always feeble-is spent an
extinct. To 60 back is certain death; t
stand still is to die then why not 60 for
