SAWS Ina tuSE6 Is a DeIter way. Inc
abolItionlsts of Vermont, as general
thing, while they do not set up their can
didates are pledged to withhold their votes
from those who oppose the cause of An
lti-Slavery. This being known to the ex-
isting political parties, the effect is saluta-
lry. The dominant party in the State, at
their recent convention, found themselves
under the necessity of making their NOM
ination for State officers, with reference to
the Anti-Sayery votes. No small num-
Der Of the party wanted other candidates.
But the candidates wanted were opposed
to Anti-Slavery,-so they must staEd aside
and give place TO those who would secure
the votes of abolitionists. The candid
ates now before the people, who will be.
elected by large majority, have all con.
tributed to the funds of the Anti-Slayery
Society. One of them is Vice Presid-
ent of our State Anti-Slavery Society, and
writes splendid newspaper articles for the
Anti-Slavery cause. TO which he afixes
his own proper signature. Some of the
party4are exceedingly mad, that they are
under the necessity of having so much
regard to the Anti-Slavery votes; but
they know not what else to do.
A variety of resolutions were before
the convention. on the subject of political
action; and the sentiments expressed in
the course of their discussion were still
more various. On the part of a few.
there was spirit of intolerance manifest
ed, occasionally, towards those who can
not conscientlously go to the polls, which
1t was lamentable to witness. And the
majority made several moves against
what the minority felt in duty bound to
protest. ] will not stop now to 90 into
particulars, inasmuch as l propose to copy
the report of the proceedings. A kind
spirit pervaded, in general, and great good
must result to the cause of emancipation
Between $4,000 and $4,000 dollars
were subscribed, in 800 subscriptions.
Among the best things done at the con
yention was the celebration of the anniver
fsary of British West India emancipation
on the first instant. A prayer meeting
was held in the morning; and in the eve.
ming an address was had from John SEQ.
bic, OF England, who has recently visited
the colonies where emancipation took
place, and has made himself thoroue hly
acquainted with the workings of appren
ticeship and emancipation. The former
in his estimation, was. in many respects
quite as bad as slavery itself The latte
succeeds wonderfully-triumphantly.

e All Unrfghte0Hsness L. sin.-.1 John v. II
Not even the careless and superficial
reader of the New Testament can fail O
discovering that man, in all his diversified
| relations and actions, motives and desires
is considered as wholly and entirely, indi
viduaily and collectively, an object alien
from all holiness. And indeed one glance
at the uncomprOmising rigor OF the first
clause Of that law originally given him,
, might indeiibly impress this fearful reali.
, Ity upon his mind. when contrast should
be made between its requirements, and
the observance rendered. Thou shall
toce the Lord thy God aOith all thy might,
mind, sOGl and strength Every individ
ual in the whole family of man would in.
tuitivelY plead guilty under this law-no
one could claim of having rendered ODE.
dience to it, and no one ever WM claim i
this side heaven.
Il All 1nrighteowsness IS sin What 1.
