The bare mentioning Of such an argument,
in its prorer shape and light, is a sufficient
exhibition of its fallacy.
Cd see not why this measure. would
do less violence to the Constitution of the
United States, or the laws of the slavehold-
ing Stares, than the other. Or, perhaps /
rather ought to say, ! see not why the other
measure would do more violence TO them
than this. The truth is, there is nothing in
"political action" or in " non-assistance, .
that does any violence 10 the constitution or
laws, or the rights Of any human being. If

Only thai would not so much depend up

THE DEACON,s PAPER.

Friend Murray: In the Telegraph Of
28th Oct, now before me, find an article
headed. "a6fnities," by which it appears
that some '.good Baptist Deacon" has
discontinued the Telegraph, and commenc-
ed taking apaper that is pledged to make
no war upon Slavery" This brings to
my mind sermon heard a few Sabbaths
since, founded on the 84th Psalm 10th
verse, 10 which the preacher established
the position from Scripture evidence. that
every christian, not only ought to feel,
but would be willing to be doorkeeper
in the house of the Lord. He said he
had known persons unite with church
as he believed for their own pecuniary
interest," and also for Office above that Of
Door keeper" He said there was a
Church, not hundred miles from this
place, land il may be somewhere in
Vermont in which about every member
had 10 be " Deaconized." in order TO keep
them in the church and keep the Church
together.
I Now, where that Church is situated
or where the "good Deacon" lives,
h know not; but | am whole hearted
Abolitionist, opposed to slavery, not only
in its worst and most hideous features, but
in its most mild and plausible form, as
portrayed by the Deacon's Daughter.
| am Methodist, but you may send me
the /" Deacon's" paper, for one year, and
may the Lord prosper the work in your
hands. Yours in friendship, K.

have gone through with the Memoir, and
can truly say that have never before read
any biography with so much profit and
delight. Much as / had anticipated in
perusing the lives of those eminenty
faithful men, / have found my utmost
expectations exeelled. The great person.
al friendship which existed between those
dear servants of God and myself will
doubtless account for much of the salts
faction enjoyed In retracing events, land
recalling scenes familiar to memory
There is, however, another and still high
er source of enjoyment-the exhibition
of their characters as displayed in the
course OF the work is so truly ministerial
The workings of the inner man as it
exists in the bosom of the Christian and
| the preacher, are portrayed with an hon.
esty that commends itself to the heart [
have never before found my own feelings
so plainly brought to view Think the
book must take rank next to Bunyan's
celebrated Pilgrims Progress. Sensible
that the work will be profitable to all who
read it, and that it is particularly appro-
pirate to the present time when the great
subject of personal holiness is exciting
increasing attention, hope it may find
immediateand extensive circulation. Thus
in view of the intrinsic merit of the work.
together with the financial embarrassment
of the present time, | hope our Baptist
! ministers generally will step forward and
aid in the disposal. All our charches
should be supplied with the work not only
for their own benefit, but also that the labors
of those who have prepared the publication
