Now, my brother, is there nothing grateful to a
benevolent spirit in facts like these ? If not, then
has abolitionism done nothing for the slave. And
then the intended sarcasm of our opposers, that a.
bolitionists, in their hot-headed, brainless zeal and
mistaken philanthropy, have only rivetcd more
firmly the letters of the slave by their misguided
efforts, has become sound logic and veritobIc state
ment.
might add other interesting facts, all going to
show the progress and effects Of anti efforts
and principles, in a community where,a few months
since, abolitionism and abolitionists were synony-
nous with whatever was contemplate and viIe.--
| should like to rcpeat. some statements made to
me by Mr.. -, The gentleman referred to above.
But | will not anticipate him; the public will
hear from his own pen, in due time. You will
not, however, understand too much, or suppose
that the triumph Of liberty is. won here-that pref
udice, and %avarice, and sclfshness are dethroned,
and justice and bencvoIence reign sovereign Of

of small things" or be slow TO discern in these, as
in greater achievements, His hand who doeth all
things well.
Before closing this long communication, allow
me, sir, 10 add one more paragraph, for the pur-
pose, Cfl may not be deemed assuming,) of ma,
king a suggestion. From conversation with diff
lerent individuals respecting the state Of feeling in
the churches here on the subject of slavery, | feel
confident that a measure, not as yet employed TO
considerable extent, that | know, is impcriously
demanded. Such, am informed, is the existing
feeling, that would Christian abolitionisls address
a letter or memorial to professors Of religion, as
s"c1, descanting upon the question of slavery only
in a moral point of view, and entreating their pray
er(ul examination of it, such an address, couched
in the language of kindness and love, would pro-
duce, | believe, n powerful effect. | am anxious
for the trial. Please think of it-God, | believe,

From the Commercial AdrertiSer.
FROM ALBANY-IMPORTAN

We have alarming news from Albany. The,
Sheriff has made a second attempt ia execute pro-
cess against some Of the tenants of the PATRON,
at the head of a large body of the posse comitatus
and bad been unable to do so.
The insurgents were embodied, to the number,
as it was reported, Of one thousand strong-with
two ic4d pieces, and other arm and munitions.
In this emergency, the aid of the military arm
of the Government has become necessary to the
due execution of the civil law.
1t would not, however, have been polotic to or
der the militia of Albany, or its neighborhood, into
the field, and the commander-in-chicf has there
fore very wisely directed a competent body of
troops from this city, to hold themselves in readi-
ness to repair to the insurgent district al Two hours
notice, as will appear by the the following gener-
al order from Maior General Sanford -

TWENTY-SIXTH CONGRESS.
FIRST SESSION.

l: was mentioned in our last that Mr.. Adams had been
called to preside in the meeting of Representatives
But the difficulty had not been settled at our latest dates.
The proceedings have been as follows -
Mr.. Wise brought forward the old proposition that the
Clerk should forthwith proceed to call the roll anew, in
Guiding the New Jersey members having the governors
certificate of election. Thus the very difficulty on which
the house has all along split was revived, and with it end
less and irregulnr discussions. At every turn, the ques-
ton recurs, WHO has the right to vote and on the adj
journment on Tuesday, the question seemed to be as far
from being settled as ever. In the course of the debates
on that day, Mr.. Slade presented the following picture of
the present condition of the House.
We are further off, he said, from an organization now
than a week ago. Instead of untying the knot, which
the Clerk has tied,-we have cut it by choosing a Chair
man. But we cut one knot, and tied three more, of still
greater difficulty. We are now in a condition that we
can't decide a question; before we were in a condition
that no question could be put. We are thrown off, at
every step, upon a collateral issue-the question who shall
vote. We are moving round in a circle-we come back
at last upon this question; upon every appeal and motion
it arises-and so we go on Gd infnitum. A Babel, after
the confusion of tongues, could not be in a worse condi-
ton for organization than we are. We are like n ship
tossed on the ocean, without rudder, or compass, or helms
man. We have tcind enough from all quarters, but it
does not carry us into port. We arc in no condition to

The TOWnshend ResoiutiOns-all right.

The following note, from brother Graves, the
Secretary of the late Anti-Slavery Convention at
Townshend, will show that the publication of the
resolution on Colonization, purporting to have
been adopted by that Convention, was the result
Of inadvertence. The substitute, which was adop-
ted, is Of the right stamp,-just the resolution one
might expect from a body of abolitionists in old
Windham, where the anti slavery banner, in Yer
mont was first unfurled TO the free breezes of The
mountains. We hereby acquit our brethren of all
suspicion Of heterodoxy on a question upon whieh
intelligent men, at this time of day, have no OK
cuse for speaking in the subjunctive mood.
TowNsHEND, Dec. 10, 1889.
Mr.. Knapp,-The fourth resolution IN the
published report of the Quarterly Anti-Slavery
Convention, holden at Townshend, and which
was the subject of remark in your paper OF last
week, was enormously inserted. The resolution
that qcas passed, and which should have been the
one sent, is the foliowing:-
"Resolced, That the colonization scheme,
though plausible in theory, is impracticablc and
unjust in execution. 1t was created, and is up
held, mainly, by southern influence, southern in
%terests, and southern munificence, and is no doubt
sincere in one of its professions-It has nothing
10 do with slavery"

Dec. 90, 1889.

" O M e SE 0 D.
Impressed with the Importance Of
keeping open a convenient medium o.
communication among the abolitionists
Of Vermont, and DESTROYS, meanwhile,
ofgiving permanence, and a much wider
circulation to a paper specially devoted
to the cause Of our enslaved country
men, the executive committee of the
state anti-slavery society will, after the
closing Of the present volume, condi-
tionally assume the responsibility of the
publication. The Voice will be contin-
ued in its present form and size, with a
frmer and better quality of paper, and
at a price so much reduced as to place
it within the reach of poverty itself.
The subscriber expects to continue
in the editorial charge, and will also
take the entire oversight and manage
ment of the printing department. 1t
will be his aim, as heretofore, to keep
steadily in view the great purpose of the
antl-slavery association, and to give
effect, by all means sanctioned by hui
manity and religion, to the momentous
principles on which it is based. In re-
gard to particular modes of action by
ab%olitionists, he hopes to be spared from
advocating any policy that shall mar
harmony and fellowship which have
the progress of our cause in
Vermont. If such hope cannot be re-
allied without a surrendry Of principle,
he will be ready to leave his post to be
occupied by another.
1t is believed that, at no period in
progress Of our cause have the signs
of the times been more suspicious, than
at the present. Truth, faithfully pro-
claimed in the nations ear, is execu-
ting the sublime purpose and promise
Of its Author. The Deliverer of
bondmen is saying to the North,
Give up, and to the South, Keep not
back. The nation is we'll nigh in a
of moral conviction-sullen con-
it may be, but pregnant with
hope to the eye of Faith. How vast,
low awful the responsibilities of this
! How needful that those, who
are battling for the right, should be
constantly provided with the moral
of our warfare-that messengers
De sent from post to post, at short
intervals, making true report of the
position of the enemy, and cheering on
he invincible host of Expressions foes!
these ends, we send forth our pro-
ipectus for another volume. To our
we say, give us your prayers,
or we greatly need them-your pat
onage, for faith without works is dead
your ~persevering cooperation, for
With these, and the ~superadded bles-
ing of God, we may live to exchange
he conflict of this GLORIOUS war for
he song of triumph.

Tor the eIcSEdpus
The Bible must be Read--it MUST..-No L.
When it is recollected that the Bible is
a revelation from God to man, and the
only one which ever has been or ever
shall be made; while all its professed be-
levers acknowledge that their eternal des-
tiny, their infinite interests hang upon
their understanding and improvement of
that book: it might seem passing strange
that any should be disposed to neglect it.
But strange as it might appear, it is now
actually neglected: through wide extent
and to an alarming degree. Still, it is true,
and demands our gratitude, that the scrip
lures are being translated into hundreds of
languages and going, in the letter of
them at least, almost as foretold of the
"angeP' flying Sin the midst of heaven"
to preach the gospel to all nations, and
this through the fundamentally of the
church. 1t is also source of encourage
ment that there are indications now, al
most every where, that the spirit of the
Lord is at work In the church, awaken
ing individuals, and especially ministers,
to the importance of a more thorough
searching and use of the Bible as means
of grace. But at present and for long
time past, it is fact not to be concealed,
that there is general and woful depart
ure from the holy requirements and splr-
ituality of the Bible, apparently resulting
from It's being SO little searched, and
therefore SO little understood, and its holy
influence so little felt.
4 My object, if permitted to speak on
this subject, shall not be to csnsure others
nor to stir up any feelings except such as
are according to the spirit of the gospel
but rather. if it might be, to excite and
