THE BIBLE CAUSE.

In my last communication the importance of es
tabishing good repositories was brought to view
In this wish to say word or two respecting tn
manner of establishing them. In most of the
counties in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont
there are County Societies already organized
These societies might establish repositories, one
or more for each county, which should be sufl
GENTLY furnished for the wants of the county
From these county repositories those established
in towns and villages might be supplied. In ma
ny towns, Young Mems, or Young Ladies' Bible
Societies might be organized, by means of which
repositories might be established and the destitute
supplied. But in many towns it may not be deem
ed expedient to form societies; in such cases in
dividuas might be selected to act as agents. keep
repositories, and receive donations and contrbu-
tons for the Bible Cause. By adopting these diff
ferent measures the object of establishing deposit
tories might be accompished,-the community
provided with the best means of obtaining the
Scriptures and the Bible cause greatly promoted.
In order to do this, it will be necessary for the Of
ficers of County Societies to be prompt in perform
ing the duties of their office and to select indi-
vduals to act agents who feel an interest in the
cause, and who will not forget their appointment
in the course of few weeks, or months. And
may not persons be found in every town who will
be ready to engage in this cause-and who will
cheerfuly assist in the accomplishment of an OBJ
ject so desirable? 1t is presumed there may be ::
and it is desirable that measures should be adop-
ted for the purpose of enlisting them in the good
cause Let the sub ject he brought before the sew
eral County Bible Societies at their next annver-
sary, and men appointed to take the charge of de-
positores, and receive donations in all our towns
and then let these repositories be we'll supplied
and the subject presented in suitable manner, to
the several religious societies and congregations
in the course of every year, and opportunities CIV
en- to all disposed to contribute to the cause; and
methinks there would be no want of means to ac-
complish the object desired, to put in operation
the several plans proposed.

From the Vermont Chronicle.


To Mr.. E. c. TRAcY-Sm: We have observ
ed in your paper of the 10th inst. denial of the
fact that Messrs. H. F. Leavitt and J. Blanchard
appeared before the ministerial Convention o.
September last at Vergennes, as Agents of the
Vermont Anti-Slavery Society, Or ofany commit
tee of the same.
Now the facts in the case, SO far as we know
are these On the 4th of September last, at a
regular meeting of the Executive Committee Of
the Vermont Anti-Slavery Society, the Rev. H. F.
Leavitt of Vergennes, and the Rev. J. Blanchard,
of Cincinnati, Ohio, were elected Agents to pre-
sent the claims which the cause oil Abolition has
upon the Christian public, to the General Conven-
ton of Congregational and Presbyterian Ministers
which was then to be holden at Vergennes.
These gentlemen were supplied with written Gre
dentals to substantiate their agency and as such
we have ever understood, the Rev. Mr.. Blanchard
appeared before the Convention on the subject Of
his agency; and as such, we supposed it was
understood by most ifnot all of the Convention at
the time. We had been led to this conclusion
from the report which Mr. B. subsequently made to
the committees Secretary; and from the fact
which we are able to substantiate by proof, that
when Mr.. B. arose to address the Convention, Rev.
Mr.. Converse, of Burlington, one of the Scribes,
inquired of him fhe had his credentials of his agen-
cy-and that he was prevented presenting them
from the fact, only that 1t aoas aoholy unnecessary
This was the avowed sentiment expressed by many
if not all the members of the Convention. By
this measure the Convention did virtually acknowl-
edge Mr.. B. an Agent of some Anti-Savery body
and whether that body be the Vermont or the
American Anti-Savery Society, was perfectly
immaterial There is oneness of object, and
sameness of sentiment and action, extending
through the whole benevolent Ant-Slavery move
1nent.
AS our Agent and as an advocate for the cause
Of emanci PATTON Rev. J. Blanchard did appear be-
fore the Convention, and aoas alloaced ten minutes
IN the gear 1898, to address Convention of Con-
gregational Ministers and others in Vermont on
the claims which three millions of Americans, who
are held in the most abject bondage in one part Of
our country, have upon the protested disciples Of
Him who has declared "inasmuch as ye haze done
it unto one otthe least of these, my brethren, ye
haze done 1t unto me-" What an act of conde-
scension What favor
What influence the Agent had on the action Of
that body, is not ours to determine. 1t is sufficient
for us to find that an action was had. Of the
correctness of that action, the Convention not u.s.
are responsible. in the annals of time and in the
light oeternity, it will be clear seen and under.

member of the Society of Friends, and not cit
izen of this country from which, with the aid of
internal evidence, rumor has assigned the author
ship to distinguished minister of that Sect from
ngand, who has been making the tour of the
Union, and who though well known as Jealous
abolitionist at home, has hitherto preserved a STU
dous silence on the subject here. Had he placed
his name upon the present pamphlet it would have
gone far 10 redeem his delinquency, for he takes
high ground with regard to the Inherent criminal
ity of slavery as opposed to the eternal rule of
right He also expresses natural surprise at
the statement of Mr. Clay, that negro slaves
have been deliberately and solernnly recognized as
the legitimate subjects of property by the Federal
Government ITSELF And we'll he may be, for GER
tainlv the Tinted States Constituton oves No an
thority for such an allegation. He thinks the first
object should be the abolition of slavery in the
District of Columbia and in Florida, and the in

clearness, in very temperate style, and where
the author is known, will strengthen the convic.
ton we have expressed, that Henry Clays speech
will, in the end, do more to develope than to re-
press the energies Of the spirit of Abolition
Emancipator.

The following Ode, written for the occasion by VIM c.

Great the hearts, and strong the minds,
OF those who framed, in high debate,
The immortal league Of love that binds
Our fair broad empire, state with state.

Was given to Glory's unspoiled son.
That noble is gone; the suns
Of fifty years have risen and set;
The holy links those mighty
Had forged and knit, are brighter yet
Wide-as our own free race increase
Wide shall it stretch the elastic chain,
And bind, in everlasting peace,
State after state, mighty train.
