Managers, & were presented to the church

year, much more might be raised, and your
missionaries no longer have TO ito their re-
spective fields weeping under the pressure
of pecuniary embarrassments. The chulch-

and therefore more healthy and prosperous.
These remarks are not intended as re-
proof to my brethren in this State, but are
respectfully submitted TO their consideration,

of the subject, and with a sincere desire to

fsring of evil The transaction, as related by the
several Eyangelists, is one. In Luke, only three
verses following the one cited by my brother, it is
recorded that he 1.-THE Savior said in regard to the
sword, that ttco 1cere enough Matthew informs us
chapter XVI, verse 57-that the Savior, after
ordering Peter to put up his sword, further rebuk

sword shall perish with the sword" Luke says,
xxi, 5I-"And Jesus answered and said, Suffer
We thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed
him. From all this, it appears to me that our
Savior would teach his followers that his kingdom
was not TO be established defended by the sword
And if his blessed kingdom might not be defend

he have us abandon that which is of infinite value,
and cling to that which is comparatively IF no val

FIRE Insurance. Those who read the
Journal Of the Legislature will observe that
grants are given for severel new Fire Insur-
ance Companies, in this State, and among
others one for Rutland and Addison Coun-
ties. Those who have not already insured
will probably do well to hold on "-as the
phrase is-until they can satisfy themselves
in regard to the comparative merits Of the
old and new systems. One objection to
the old is, ii is becoming unwieldy. Anoth-
er is said to be, that it is departing from the
original understanding, insuring manufac-
turing establishments at such rates as to
burden other members of the Company
My own personal objection to it is, l know
it to be grossly unequal in its operations
For instance, while my dwelling house goes
in at 4 IL per cent, my printing Office,
which is little; if any, more exposed, is tax
ed Is per cent. One advantage of the new
system will be, it will be limited to so small
an extent that all its operations can be scru-
tinized by its Individual members. Again
say. "hold on" until you can satisfy your
selves as to the comparative merits of the
two.

The editor Of the New York Observer,
in specializing upon what will be the prob
able course and success Of the NewEng-
land Non-resistance Society, remarks, at
will meet with some favor among the thor
ough-going Roger Williams Baptists.' y
As we do not know what is here meant,
by Roger Williams Baptists, we cannot of
course understand the nature Of the dan
ger, nor do we know whether the whole
Baptist denomination is implicated 10 the
remark, or some part Of it. We therefore
ask for an explanation. We DO not know
of single Baptist who has become con-
nected with this Society, but Of several
Congregationalists and among them at
least one minlster.-Christ. W0tchmam.
Is it the truth that these Editors want-or is it
the praise Of men If the former, why, instead OF
vieing with each other in heaping calumny upon
the Non-Resistance Society, do they not show the
discordance of its doctrines with the precepts and
practices of the Prince of Peace9 The Editor of the
| Waterman is informed that there is at least one
Baptist who ia member of the Society. The Ed
itor of the Observer is the more discerning of the
two He is right in supposing that T" thorough-go-
ing Roger Williams Baptists'' will be amcng the
first to embrace the doctrine of Peace on earth
