Brother Worth The quarterly meet
ing Of our Association, which commenced
with the church in Barnston, L. c., the
first Wednesday in March and continued
about two weeks, was blessed to the re-

number of backsliders and the hopeful
conversion Of about 40. 1t was my priv
ilege TO labor, 10 connection with other
brethren throughout the meeting; and
also to spend several Lords days with
them since, during which time I have
baptized 20; and Two others were added
to the church by experience, making an

During my absence at New-York, some
weeks since, the Editor of the Rutland and
Addison County Wbig, published in this
place, suffered a correspondent OF his TO

which it emanated, and the misrepresenta-

by handing a few lines to the person in
charge in the absence of the Editor of the
Whig-and it was published. Two weeks
afterwards a following up Of the attack,
from the same source, appeared in the
Whig-grossly misrepresenting me by i'm
plication and insinuation. Upon this l
promptly furnished the Wing with a very
brief reply, which went into the hands of
the Editor, he having returned before his

after a correspondent of his paper had been

III sLAvE TRADE.

The papers are teeming with notices Of a
work recently published by Thomas FoaoeH
Burton, of England, on the Slave Trade
Northern Colonizationists are congratulatlng
themselves and their cause greatly on the
appearance of this work-with what pro-
priety or consistency am yet unable to
Judge, as | have not seen the work. 1t IS
an old saving that ga drowning man will
catch at a straw Northern Colonization
lists will seize on anything to prop up their
sinking cause. But it will avail them moth
ing. If Buxton has produced any thing
akin to their doings, it is all m%oonshine.
So far as / can learn anything Of Bux-
toms work, it proposes to break up the slave
trade by augmenting fleets and armies, and
by forming alliances with African Chiefs.
To any mind intelligent on this subject,
nothing could be more prepostereus or chi
merical. As long as the market is open it
will be supplied. If there be- not virtue
enough in the Christian world to close the
market, how shall it be expected that the
heather world can be depended on to aid
efficiently in Withholding the supply? II
| there be a set Of dementated fanatics in the
world, these are they who resort 10 such
measures for the accomplishment of such
an object.
