For the Voice of Freedom.
Mr.. EDITOR {:

Mr.. EDITOR;
would not trouble you with long account O
our proceedings ON July 18th, but will request tina
a part of the resolutions passed may be published
in your paper, as they may lend some who are
hating between two opinions to decide, and act in
view of that day when the secrets of every heart
shall be disclosed and the actions of men shall be
placed in their true light before an assembled uni
verse.
l. RESOLVED, That the children of slaves ought
to follow the condition of their fathers and that
their fathers, which are not so, ought to be FREE.
Proposed by Rev. B. B. Cutler, of Essex.
2. That the question political action deserves
our serious consideration, and that every consci-
entious man should duly consider whether it be
not as wrong to support slavery by his vote, as by
any other means.
3. That we approve of the conduct of the State
of Maine in refusing to deliver up her own citi-
zens to be tried by slaUe lars, when demanded by
the State of Georgia.
A. That the citizens of each State whatever
their color or circumstances, are entitled to all the
privileges and immunites of citizens in the sew
eral states and that all laws in the slave states,
which infringe upon these rights, are fragrant
violation of the Constitution, and should be resist
ed by the free states.
S. That if the slave states will not consent to
give up slavery, measures should be taken so to
amend the Constitution of the U. S. that the citi-
zens of the free states shall not be liable to be call
ed out to suppress any slave instruction, and thus
be compelled to fight for slavery, and destroy those
who are contendng for their inalienable rights.
6. That in this day Of light on American slave
ry the following pertinent remarks Of Solomon
the wise, should come home to every heart: " If
thou lorbear to deliver them that are drawn unto
death, and those that are ready to be SLAIN if
thou sayest, Behold, we know it not; doth not
he that pondereth thy heart consider it? and he
that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it and
shall not he render to every man according to his
works 2"
T. That in the great day, when God shall Judge
the world in righteousness, the humble believing
slave who is now .despised, will be more likely
to be brought forward as the representative of Je
sus Christ, than the learned D. D. or the popular
leader of any political party. Then shall the
King say unto those on his left hand, In as much
we did it not unto the least of these my breth-
rem We did it not unto me. "-lfath. 25: dis.

Oregon Mission. It is known 10 the

OREGON MISSION. It is known 10 the
religious public that the missionary socie-
.ty OF the Methodist Episcopal church have
large mission family in the Oregon
country, and many have heard that the SUI
perinendent of that mission has recently
returned to this city. for the purpose, chief
lv, OF laying before the missionary board
the situation OF that country, and urging
upon them TO enlarge the operations of
that mission, and TO add to the number al
ready in the field. We learn that the
missionary society, after having heard the
statements of Mr.. Lee, and the represent
atoms of all the missionaries now in the
Oregon, have determined to send out a re-
enforcement of thirty four adults, to wit !:
five missionaries, one physician, six me-
chancs, four farmers and person to act
in the capacity of missionary steward, =
Fhe board has recommended that the per.
sons 10 be selected shall be married men,
deeming it for the interest of the mission
to send out such. Mr.. Lee, on his way
to she Atlantic States. stopped at Peoria,
and there delivered an address, sketch
OF which we find in the Gazette of that
place, and have copied into this paper

For The Vermont Telegraph.

Dear Brother Murray With your per-
mission, / will notice remark found, in the
lAtb No. Of the 18th Vol of the Telegraph,
on page first.
"The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Faith
er and the Son, and through Christ is pour
ed out, producing regeneration, &c. - =
John xiv, 16, II, &C." l am not certain, That
/ understand the doctrine, intended to be
taught in this paragraph The language,
however, admits of construction antago-
MYSTICAL, absolutely so, to the views Of the
Baptist denomination generally.
The language quoted is not Pathological,
in form or in fact. .... .s.. ".. /
/. "The Holy Ghost proceeds from the
Father aud the Son."
2. "And through Christ is poured ort"
3. Producing regeneration, &c. John,
xiv, 16, II, g." In each of these divisions,
we find distinct idea, separate from each
other.
No 3, represents the effects Of the spirit,
on the heart. No. 2, shows that the opera
ton Of the Spirit on the heart, follows on
account of the mediation of Christ This
is my view Of the language. What re-
mains then for the first part of this sentence,
"The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Faith
er and The Soa?"
In The frs: place, those passages 10 which
reference was made, DO not support this dec
lara,ion. John, xiv, l6, II, 26.
"And will pray the Father and he shall
give you another Comforter, = Even the
} Spirit OF truth. = But the Comforter, which
is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father shall
send" Do these passages represent, that
the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father
and the Son2
Without taking the laboring oar GU, Of the
hands Of your correspondent, would cal
upon him to support the 6ih'' article in his
Declaration" Of faith. x.

THE WANT OF REL1e1ous INTELLI

THE WANT OF RELIGIOUS INTELLI-
cENcE.--There are many families Of
protesting Christians, who fall entirely
behind their impenilent neighbors in prac
teal knowledge, respecting the great
events of Divine Providence which sur
round them. How inconsistent is this
with their profession! The Christian
claims to be member Of a body for whose
prosperity all these events are governed.
He profSsos to recognize the hand of his
God, not only in the operations Of nature,
but in those of human agency. He es-
pecially claims, that these events are all
subservient to the purposes of redeeming
love. Shall he, then, be ignorant Of the
doings of heaven. while his impenitent
| neighbor is all awake ! :. Shall he, BY IN
necessary ignorance, make this profession
appear contemplate? He is not Prepar-
ed to understand the Bible as well, nor
the preached gospel. nor his duties and re.
sponsibiInies, in his domestic, civil, and
ecclesiastical relations. While so many
means are in operation for communicat-
ing intelligence, he must be far wander

"Abstain from all appearance OF evil" ,
Such is the natural propensity OF the
