RIGHT OF PETITION.


Mr.. EDrroR:-An old Seventy-Six man
desires through your paper to ask the sove~
reign people few questions, which they
may answer or not, in their own way, as
was common in olden times
Shall the sovereign people have the right
Of petitioning Congress, or shall this right
be withheld2 Or, shall Congress be the
sole judge Of what the people may petition
for, and what they may not2
These are questions of deep interest to all
freemen, especially to a nation so long claim
ing and enjoying the right of petition, as the
people of the United States have been wont
to claim and enjoy. Will freemen be salts
fed and hushed to silence by seeing their
prayer for acknowledged rights rejected and
spurned from the hearing Of Congress, for
the imaginary reason that these petitions
may induce others to petition for unac-
knowledged rights2
In plain terms, will those (and the num-
Der is not few who continually prefer their
petitions to Congress to abolish slavery,
Immediately or gradually, in the District of
Columbia, over which Congress, it is con-
coded on all hands, exercises ''exclusive le-
gislation in all cases whatsoever''-wiIl
they be satisfied to have their petitions uni
fornly rejected, and for no other reason than
that Southern members may Judge that
these petitions may have some bearing or
influence against their unholy traffic in the
souls Of men2
Southern members, in all cases where alb
clifton petitions are presented, cry Islands
of!-this must not be read-it may affect
US. Will the wide North "give up" be-
cause Southern man says, you must no,
exercise your rights on the 'ten-mile plat, y
common to all, and under the exclusive iu.
risdiction ofthe national legislature2 How
can. the sovereign people approach the sub.
ject in less offensive way than by petit
tons for redress2 Is not the time at hand
when the slough faces" of the North will
no longer succumb to the tyranny of the
South2 Will they not contend, as was con
tended in '76, that the right to be heard h,
petition is inalienable? They must and will
De heard. In justice, these petitions OF tn,
sovereign people, though they tarry long
must and will be heard before the people ar,

l6,6eO,OOO, not including, as l suppose, the
increase of the slave population since 1880.
The natural increase of 100000, in those
states, for one year is $4,000. The natural
increase of the whole population must
therefore, amount to more than half mill
lion per annum. Add to this the increase
by immigration, and the whole increase can
not be less than seven hundred thousand
annually. AS near as we can learn by the
Baptist Triennial Register, and the official
statistics Of other denominations, called
evangelical, the number Of professed con-
versions to God in 1925, in the United
States, was something less than $4,000
For 1886, it would probably fall much short.
But calling it $4,000, the natural increase Of
the population, and the number Of professed
conversions to God, will stand in the ratio
Of fourteen to one. Calculating for what
the number of conversions fall short Of So
600, and for the spurious conversions, and it
is decidedly within bounds to say that the
proposition is fifteen to one. Thus, by the
time one million are converted to God in
the United States, there will be at least four
teen millions more Of anconverted persons
IN the same territory than before.
Thus we ascertain the truth, that this
highly privileged and most enlightened,
christian land is absolutely growing worse
> and worse-less and less christian. In a
few years, at this rate, the christian part Of
the inhabitants Of the United States will be
mere speck, when compared with the
t whole population. Add to this the fact, that
S there are at least Il, 100000 souls in these
states that habitually attend the public wor

do attend are being gospel hardened, ant

do from my heart, with tears thank God

PERRY, GENEsEE Co. ~. 1.-br.
Leavitt--As nothing con be morecheering
TO the friends of Zion than to hear Of its
prosperity, I will give brief statement
Of a work Of grace going on in this place.
I commenced laboring here last April,
under very discouraging circumstances.
But we soon had special tokens of the
divine presence. Meetings became more
and more solemn (; sinners in Zion be-
came troubled hypocrites were surprised;
false hopes were shaken; God soon made
bare his arm in the salvation of perishing
sinners; the work went on with deep
and solemn interest; the converts came
into the work, with deep anxiety to do
something for God. The circumstances
seemed TO call for more special effort. l
therefore sent TO Rochester for Br. Foot,
TO assist me. We commenced protract-
ed meeting near the last of December,
the result Of which wilttell on the spirit
ual interests Of this town in years to come.
How many souls were converted | do not
!, pretend to say; the judgment day will DIS
close the truth. Fifty or sixty were in
the inquiry room; the most of them man.
ifested submission. Some of them belong
in other places-me case, man who
siid he had been through ten revivals.-
There were many things connected with
this circumstance very interesting. The
work is going on A youths meeting
twice a week, we'll attended. We have
much 10 contend with. The standard Of
piety is very low in this region. Univer
saIism is staying its thousands, and Anti
.nomianism It's tens of thousands. Con
rcrts appear well, considering the circum
stances under which some Of them are
s placed. Br. Foot has held me citing il
Warsaw since he left here. Glorious re
suits. Will Christians pray for Genese'

work here, even in the midst Of deserves

The Militia Acts. We Observe that meet
ings have been holden in different parts Of the
state and spirited resolutions adopted, dcmnn-
ding reform in the laws regulating and gov
erning the militia. The subject is certainly
one which ought 10 receive the early attention
Of the legislature. To do away with the mi
itia, were it expedent, is entirely out Of the
question. The Constitution, both Of the Uni
ted States and Of this state, are insuperable
obstacles TO such disposition Of the subject
The only question, then, which ought 10 be
is not the best which can be devised. This is
plain question, and the testimony Of the Ex-
ccutivc OF the state in the messages for some
years past--of the military committees OF the
house, and OF military gentlemen in all parts
oil the state--is, unanimously, that the sys-
tenn is w.etchedly BAD, from the beginning TO
the end In truth, our experience, VIC think,
warrants us in saying, that there is no system
about it-that the provisions OF tho laws are
not, and cannot DO, well understood that
the militia, (ds) organized and conducted as
1t has been, is not merely useless, but absolute
ly an epii-expensivc to the officers, burden
some 10 the soldiers, and bearing most une.
qually upon community. That it cannot Ion
remain SO, is certain: either the people will
refuse oil respect to the laws existing upon the
subject, and the state will not BIO in condi-
ton to meet acquisitions which may be made
by the national government, or the legislature
satisfy the demands of the people.
