Vol. IX....NO. &c..

Long as his article is, what reader is not
sorry that it is so short? The intelligence
which it brings from the SALISBURY Asso-
citation must cheer the soul Of every lover
OF purity IN the church-every friend of the
haPless slave. WIS argument addressed to
the entire denomination in the State, and
which is worthy the attention Of all chris
tians at the North, is so full. and so lorcibIe
as 10 need nothing in addition from US at
this time, if anything could be added Aud
we hope to detract nothing from its power,
by dissenting little from our brothers
views on single Toint, in the same frank
ness and kindness with which he dissepts
from the Emancipator
How much dfsfellowship with slavehod-
ers those have, or can have, who have
"never performed the prior duty of faithful
admontion," ii may be difficult to determine.
On the other hand, how much fellowship
with Shareholders those have, or can have
who hare performed this duty, and continue
faithfully to perform it, is, we confess.
equally difficult for US to determine. Al
though we could bot apply to brother w.
all the epithets used by the writer in the
Columbus Sentinel given in the Telegraph,
week before last, under the head, "What
Shareholders think Of it'll yet we think
that writer's reasoning correct. We know
of no better, or other way to reach the sin
ner's conscience, than to say to him, "Thou
art the man'-1he sinner. And we can
conceive of no force that our rebuke can
have-indeed OF no rebuke, short of with
drawing fellowship from the sinner, to the
extent Of his SHINING, at the same time that
his sin is pointed out, until such time as As
repents.
Let all the addresses be clothed with true
Christian meekness. But let not an altar be
built to meekness, on which to sacrifice fdel-
ity. There is some danger h re
! But we trust the great duty, SO we'll urged
upon the attention of the denomination in
this State by our brother, will be steadily
, kept in view and pursued.
GPsys IN THE UNITED STAres.-Those
who are acquainted with the state Of society
on the Eastern Continent need no explana-
ton of the term Gypsy. According to
Webster, "The nam is supposed 10 bs
corrupted from Egyptian" 1t is applied to
" a race Of vagabonds who infest Europe,
Asia and Africa, strolling about and sub
sisting principally by theft, robbery and for
tune-telling." They are very numerous in
Austria, and there are not few of them
even in England.
| Whether such an intolerable nuisance,
such shame to enlightened society, such
a disgrace to human nature is to be permit
ted in the United States, is q question vet
to be settled. We are not about to discuss,
at this time, the question whether imuigra-
ton ought to be allowed to every extent Or
prohibited to any extent. But is it required
| by Philanthropy, Republicanisn, or Chris
tlanI1y, that hordes of vicious idlers be en-
couraged OF permitted 70 wander about the
country, begging and pilfering, and raising
up more numerous generation of beggars
and pllierers to come after them We
have seen several gangs of them that were
very stencil in the moral atmosphere-to
say nothing about their physical dizziness.
One company of them has been wandering
; about this State, and perhaps its vicinity,
Tor the last dozen years, as multitudes can
testify. We first saw them in Orwell, about
l2years ago. AS near as we can now rec
ollect, there was ten OF dozen person. Of
them, of both sexes, Of different ages, and
OF various cOlors and languages. They
aooonded in horses and dogs, and mani
, tested no small share of shrewdness and
, experience in trading in this kind of prop
erty. They begged all they could; anu
what they could not beg, they had no lack
OF money to buy. Several years afterwards
we saw the same company in -Shoreham.
and unless we are greatly mistaken they
have been in Brandon within few months

woman and several children are driving
about the streets Of our village with d..
