CIRCULAR.

Dearly Beloved in the Lord:
We the undersigned, address you as
Baptized Believers, in the name of the
Great Head of the Church, and of His
suffering poor. In the opinion of meet
ing of Baptist Abolitionists, held this day
IN the city of New York, and whose rep
resentatives we are. the period has arrived
when some judicious measures should
be taken to call National Baptist Con-
ventIon, to prepare the way for organic
ing an AMERICAN BAPTIST ANT1-SLAvE-
RY SOCIETY.
The providence of God seems to have
caused necessity for such an organiza-
ton. And while we do not aim to arrav
ourselves against any well managed So
cieties already in existence, we think it
OBVIOUS that, as Baptists, we can now
accomplish more by laboring on our own
platform, than in any other way.
We therefore whose names are annex
ed, cordially address to you this Circular.
You will oblige US by sending your
names as soon as convenient, should YOU
approve the object contemplated, to either

Immediately placed 10 the bank box. Mr.
Mcmillan, the Pos, Master. kept the mos,

sible measures TO detect the thief No sus-
picion rested upon any one until Saturday
of last week, when the fragments of letter.
dated Clcayeland, OHIO, Sept. LIST, 1882
were found among the refuse papers in the
Office Of the North Star
Supicions Immediately rested on a young
man by the name Of WALrrn kEvrs, en-
ployed in this office. lie was soon arrested,
and upon being charged with the theft,made
the following disclosures THAT he stole
the letter from the Cashiers box containing
the 5000 alluded to above and that he
stole at different times $4,000 in cash from
the Store Of Mr. Mcmillan. 1t appears that
the mails are opened and closed IN sepa-
rate room IN Mr. Nc Mllan's store, which
is solely used for that purpose, and 10 which
generally no one has access but the Post
Master and his assistant. In this room the
mails are distributed into drawers for the
different routes, and the exchange papers
for the Star office are thrown into basket
in the same room, and there kept till sent
for. Reyes had been in the habit Of taking
these exchange papers, and when in the
hurry of,he moment they have not been
handed him, he has recently, when taking
the papers, opened the drawers and purloin-
ed any package or packages which chance
threw in his way. The fragments of about
twenty letters have been found. mostly
thrown out ofthe office window among wood
and rubbish, and a small sum Of money, sur
rendered to the Post Master, which Reyes
saws he distracted from letters al different
times within a few weeks. Reyes also con-
| fessed having stolen penkniyes and other
small articles from McMilen's store, two
dollars in money from Sias and Boynton's
shop, pocket pistol and box Of caps from a
wagon standing under the tavern she'd, sill,
dress and pocket handkerchief from the
Stage, pair ofshoes from pedar's wagon
and all within the space of three months
past.
We are grati6ed to know that the Post
Office is thus fully exoncrated. although the
offender proved TO be young man laborino
in this office, and hitherto Of a fair character
We feel it is better the guilty should be
punished, however near home il may come
than that the innocent should suffer in prop
erty or character.
Reyes is bound over for trial at the mex
December Court, and for want of bail com
mitted TO prison. North Star.
