AN ABoLrTioNIsT OF THE THIRD CLASS
The following paragraph from u Penn
sylvana paper of March IA, indicates that
a cheering state of things exist in that
State. We are inclined to think that the
time and place mentioned in it are, on the
whole, the best. Will the Vermont Tel
e9raph, the N. II. Baptist Register and
the Eastern Baptist and Zion'S Advocate
express their views on this important ques-
tioL 3 Christian Reflector.
BaptISt Anti-slavery Convention.
A Convention of the Blptists IN the
Union who are opposed to slavery, Is pro-
posed. We are requested to say TO the
editor of the Christian Reflector, that a
goodIy portion OF the Bapls,s in this re-
gion are favorable 10 the holding of such
convention. Some are, and long have
been, very anxious for it, 1--WE are among
the number) and will see that delegate
or delegates be sent at any convenient time
and place that shall be agreed upon We
think New York city world be the bette
place, AMI the time of holding the Nation
al AnH-Slavery Convention the better

baptist Anti-SIavcry Convention.
From the number of SURFACES on thi:
subject already published in the B1ptis
papers that favor the CRY Of the slave, W,
infer that there will be Convention.-
Should no other time and place appea
preferable, we would venture to sugges
The last week in May as the time, and tn
city of Troy or Albany as the place
provided The Baptist church,s in either c
these places will extend an invitation t
that effect. If not, then let it be at Har
ford or Utica, on the same terms.
1t ought not to be forgotten that ihel
are more Baptist church members tina
Of any other denomination, that they al
very strong in the slavehoidin9 states, tn;
more slaves are Baptists than of any othe
sect, that Bap,ists and Baptist minister
are daily bought and sold by Baptists an
Baptist ministers, and that probably
majority Of the Baptist chulc hes III th
coullry openly countenance polygamy

Also it should be borne in mind, TIL
there are more religious papers fa0orab

other class of Christians The Vernon

CURED"
MY sentiments are In favor OF Conve
ton, at a proper time and place. But
strikes me that the time mentioned is t
early. The subject OF Convention h
not been agtaled long enough. The b
lists in Vermont, 10 be sure, are ready,
short notice, TO do their duty on the suhje
only let them know what that duty is;
they have long been abolilioniSts, the or
body Of them. But the Baptists in ot
States, TOO many of them, are sadly 5eh:
on this subject. Would not few mon
more of work, BY way of disseminal
light and interchanging views, prod,
such convention as would effect more
the cause in given time to come, thar
strike so soon?
