Having seen few questions propounded
in the last Telegraph, by an Enquirer on
the subject of temperance, have thought
proper to give my views, and hope others
interested in the cause will feel free TO give
theirs. The questions are as follows:
1st. Is it the duty Of person who prac-
tises total abstinence TO unite with body
of protested christians that allow their
members 10 drink intoxicating liquors?
I'd. Is 1t gospel-wise for ministers, who
profess TO be Temperance men, TO admins
ter The sacrament 10 churches that allow
their members 10 make, vend, or use intox-
icating liquors, as their interests or appetites
may demand, after having bestowed sulta-
bic time and labor TO remove the evil and 10
no effect2
Sd. Does not that church give its sane
ton to the drinking of intoxicating liquors
by the people of the world at their pleasure,

TESTIMONY AGAINST SLAVERY.

-
MIR. Editor Il am willing to let it be
known through the Telegraph, more fully
and extensively than otherwise perhaps ii
would be, that | am willing TO be reckoned
among thot fanatical class called abolition
lists. And this do, the rather, because there
is so much complaint, and not without ground,
that so many of the so-called ministers of
the Gospel in our country are either directly
or indirectly supporters of slavery.
Yes, | have been such fanatic, this long
time, as to think we ought to love our neigh
Dor as ourselves, and to do 10 others, as we
would that they should do unto US; and that
slavery is incompatible with these princi-
pies. Isay slavery-for this comprehends
all. If were TO speak Of theft, robbery.
| whoredom and murder, and crimes of every
name and nature, they are all concomitants
OF slavery. l have maintained, (but in this
| may be thought to be wild, that for NOR
tai man TO attempt TO absolve rational be-
ing from his obligations to God, and 10 ex
erclse absolute sway over his understand
( ing, will, and conscience, was rebellion and
treason against the throne of the Most High.
And who can deny that slavery does this q?
Yet these, according to many who would
be thought 10 be good and great, are extrav-
agant and dangerous notions, that threaten
to destroy the world. Is ii not most wonder
ful, that IN this nation boasting of its light.

necessary that part of community should

TO support our civil government) expend

your hearts, forgive not every one his
brother their trespasses.'
o that we participated largely In the
feelings of her whom Jesus himself COM
mended, when he said, Her sins which
are many are forgiven for she loved
much, - Love much!-I have much
forgiven; : may every christian say, while
he examines the frame and temper of his
spirit, and reflects on the vastness of his
obligations. Surely if there dwelt in our
hearts more of grateful love to Him by
whose redeeming blood we obtain the for
giveness Of our sins, it would become an
easy, and even delightful task. to extend
forgiveness to other. In connection with
these remarks, would add -
Finally Let US reflect much, with a
view to constant imitation, on the
perfect and glorious example of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
'Dost thou well to be angry ?-is a
question which you are sometimes, per-
haps, disposed, like the petulent prophet,
to answer in the affirmative, alleging the
greatness OF. the provocation. At such a
moment, call to mind the provocations off
cred 10 our Divine Redeemer. Think
of the base ingratitude and the perpetual
insults he endured. Think of the contra
dction of sinners, and the revilings Of
blasphemers, he had to encounter, thro'
out the entire course of his suffering life
and especially when it was Fastening to q
close. Think Of the irritating Language
with which he was assailed in the palace
of Caiaphas, and in the hall of PLATE, anc
in the presence of Herod and then WELD
your minds to the force of the touching
representations of the Apostle Peter: Il
when We do well, and suffer for it, We tak'
, it patiently, this is acceptable with God
For even hereunto were We called E; be
cause Christ also suffered for US, leaving
: US an example, that We should follow hi
steps: who did no sin, neither was gull

: reviled, reviled not again when he sui
fered, he threatened not; but committe
himself to him that judgeth righteously

consequences of repentance and reforma-
ton. ASST the wrath of God was less to be
dreaded than the malice of wicked men or
devils!
And as though the infinitely glorious and
blessed God was not TO be loved, reverenced |
and obeyed, above all creatures and things. !
Such persons seem to forget that he that
walketh uprightly walketh surely :; and that
the way Of the transgressor is hard. Or do
thew not believe in the existence and moral
government of God, and our accountability
10 him. But verify he is a God that judg-
eth in the earth,-so then every one Of US
shall give an account Of himself to Cod
But what have aboltionists got at the hands
Of those for whose good they have labored,
and sacrificed so much time, property and
ease? What have they got? Why, they
have been pelted with brick bats, stones and
eggs; their peaceable assemblies have been
disturbed and broken up; and they deprived
of the liberty of speech, and their property
destroyed. They have been whipped, tar
| red and feathered, banished and murdered
and generally have had no protection from
! the constituted authorities. NIerciful God
has it come TO this, in a nation boasting
aloud and far Of, their noble zeal for the
equal rights and liberty of the world? But
after all, the friends of God and man are in
fnitely better off than their persecutors.-

Of hosts shall be upon every one that is
proud and lofty, and lifted up, and he shall

Be wise, now, therefore, o we kings BIZ

wickedness. But let the wicked forsake hi

For the Telegraph.

The readers of the Telegraph will recol-
Iect that an article was presented last week
from the Herald of Freedom, touching the
action of the Methodist Conference recently
held in Baltimore, respecting the resolution
debarring colored members testifying against
1rhite members of that denomination, in the
States where the cirit laWS prohibit them.
Rev. Charles B. Ray, Editor of the Colored
American, and a colored man, makes the
following sensible remarks, which l think
worth examining by the readers Of the Tel
egraph. Should some Of our Methodist
brethren peruse the article, | trust they will
not view the remarks as made against Meth
odism, but against the corruptions existing
in that as we'll as other denominations of
professed christians. Brethren, YOU must
take hold, ard help remove these abomina-
tons without the camp, and when out, show
them no more mercy than Achan Of old re-
ceived, after secreting the wedge Of gold
and other articles forbidden him.

Gu Wednesday evening, June Sd, after an
unusually long and laborious SESSION.
This session has been attended with less of
storm and fiery opposition, against aboli-

ry members are beginning to understand
abolition and aboIi!ionsts better, and are
beginning 10 have more conscience uDon

the abolition members disposition to keep
quiet and say bat little, on the ground per-
