VA. PORTSMOUTH ASSOCIATION.

We were surprised TO find among the
proceedings of this body, the following
resolution
The Gil,feId Church of Petersburg,
having expressed in their letter a desire
to be represented in this Association by
one of their own body, in order to draw
forth an expression Of the opinion he'd
on this subject, it was moved, that both
the colored churches of Petersburg, be
privileged to participate in the delibera-
tions of this body by a delegation from
among themselves, instead Of, as hereto
fore, from the Market Street Church.
The motion was unanimously rejected.
We would ask-Are the two colored
churches Of Petersburg constituent mem
bers of this association or not If not,
why are they represented at ali and why
are their names placed on the list along
with the other churches If they are
members, bv what authority are they de-
prived of the right of self representation
10 US, this appears 10 be about the most
palpable inconsistency that we have ever
seen. Two churches are enrolled as
members, precisely as other churches are,
and yet it is unanimously decided, that
they shall nat be privileged TO partici-
pate in the deliberations of the body, by a
delegation from among lhems-lves'l We
should be much pleased to know upon

Dialogue between NJ. and IT.

A part of the following dialogue rests on facts !;
and The whole Of such one might, and much
more, if the sentiments of some persons may be
Judged of. from their lawless, unneighborly prac-
tees. The dialogue is given, not so much for the
particular occasion to which it is applicable as to
bring out to view some general principles that are
too mucl disregarded.
NJ. don't think it very kind or neigh
borly affair, that all our grapes should be
pillered away, and the vine pulled 10 the
ground and about destroyed.
L. But the vine grows on the bank Of the
river.
M. True,-and so does the tree on which
the vine ran; and SO do the currant bushes
which grow within twenty feet of the vine.
/. But Mr.. did not plant the vine
M. Very true,-nor did he plant the tree
on whicb it climbed, nor the curfant bush
es; nor did lie build the house in which he
lives,-but he paid his money for them all,
the vine among the rest. 1t was choice
vine, brought from distance. The size OF
the grapes, If no other circumstances, was
sufficient evidence Of this to the pilferers.
I. The whole of it Is no great affair
NJ. know it is not to be ranked among
the necessaries Of life. Yet there is involv-
ed a principle, yely essential to good neigh
borhood. Rights are invaded, strict homes
ty isvio lated, our Savior's Golden Rule is
broken, as truly in this way as in any other.
Rare and peculiar fruits that require care
and assiduity, although they may not have
great intrinsic value are nevertheless high
ly valued by those to whom they belong
Mr.. -- had by far, by far, rather have
| been robbed of bushel Of corn or a leg OF
beef, than of those few clusters of grapes
for he could easily have purchased more OF
the former; but the latter he cannot pur-
chase-and if he could. it was his right. to
enjoy his own. He would have been glad
Of few of the seeds to plant; but the last
one, as well as the FIST, was flched away
And this is not the worst of 1.-THE vine is
very much injured by being torn from the
tree that sustained it.
Whoever is acquainted with Mr..
knows that he is always disposed to share
his enjoymenfs with 5 neighbors; but il
is his right TO decide how, and under what
circumstances the division of them shall be
made. And if he we've differently consti-
tuted-if he were the most nisgardly man

A Blow at the Root.

Dear Brother Murray About six months
ago, for the purpose of discussing The sub
ject of American Slavery, and showing its
connexion with the church, and the duty of
christians in relation 10 it, the following
Resolutions were brought before our
Church:
l. RESOLVED, That we view the system
Of American Slavery 10 be a violation Of
the laws Of the Bible, and sin Of great
magnitude. And we believe it 10 be our du-
iy TO warn our slaveholding brethren OF
their guilt, and Danger; and affcclonalelv
entreat Them TO let the oppressed go free"
2. ReSOIred, That we believe it TO be
our duty to have no fellowship with the
barbarous aud disgraceful practice of hold
ing men as property. and making merchan-
die of souls, "-and that the most effectual
way 10 convince our slaveholding brethren
Of their sin, and our adherence of their
practices is 10 inform them that we cannot
hold communion with them at the Lords
table,
These Resolutions were not passed at
the time, but were laid on the table, and
called up from time 10 time, and discussed,
Tor the purpose Of gaining information on
the subject, so that when acted upon. the
church might act understandingly and har-
monIously. AT our last church meeting the
vote was taken or the first Resolution. aud
passed unanimously. The second was not
passed. Some Ct the brethren thought il
better lie on the table until we had sent ont
the Information contained ia the first. So IL
lies on the table for the present, but will be
called up and passed, whenever il is though,

icient warning. But if all our religious pa
pers were to pursue the course adopted by
the Baptist Register, and Gospel Witness.

from these brethren before long. Will you.
brother Murray, often put them in mind of
the subject? You might easily answer
them yourself, and might give my Opin-
ion, but should much rather hear theirs
But should they not answer, others may
think it'time for them to speak. But there
are SO few to speak, among those whose do

For The Yermonk TIezeernnh.

Mr.. MURRAY: SIR,-A friend Of mine
handed me, few days since, a copy of
the Vermont Chronicle, containing an ar
ticle, with an editorial, headed g Influence
Perrerted." The article was composed
of extracts from letters, written by Pro-
fessor Emerson of Andover, to Rev. Dr..
Osgood of Springfield, Mass 1t appears
from the editorial, that Osgood was an alb
olitionist, and that he rather insinuated at
certain time, that those who do not unite
with Anti-Slavery Societies, are insincere
in their professions. Upon this, Emerson
wrote the letters.
The Chronicle does not tell its readers
what else Mr. Osgood said, that they NAV
have an opportunity Of getting at MIR. Os.
goods sentiments in full; but merely
gives the side most favorable to maintain
its own position l think this is not show.
| ing fair play l will say also that what
ever may be Mr.. Osgood's views in regard
to that question, believe there are som,
men who are, to limited extent, aractica
abOtitionists, who have not as vet enrolled
their names under the Constitution dT al
Anti-Slavery Society. But believe tha
a large majority of those who are op~sec
to abolitionism are not what tiaex profas
to be-a.e not what MIR. Emerson Call
Them. OVERWHELMINGLY Why /? Be
cause They will do nothing towards liber
aliBg the enslaved. They say the color
ed people cannot be elevated to the com
mon privileges of The whites in this coun
try, and viii contribute nothing for thei
release unless they can be sent to Africa
which thing is impossible IN the very ma
ftnre Of things. Others say, ane anon,
