Dear Brother 1Iurray:-
Permit me 10 solicit a corner Of your
paper, iii which to convey word Of en-
enlargement 10 our noble hearted friends
among the Green Mountains. In the cause
of human liberty Vermont is on The lead
and ever has been May her light continue
10 shine with increasing purify, splendor and
rover, ulon her sister stars Of the Ameri-
can constellation, ill the spangled frma-
mrnt shall be in glow, ard The dark spirit
Of slavery, exposed, rebuked and vanquished,
shall retire and 90 quick down to its "OuM
place." to curse the earth no more. The
horrlfc reign of terror must cease. Bright
er days are dawning upon the depicted
children Of affection and sorrow; and may
God in mercy speed the time when the
golden rule, from the lips Of the Eiyin,
: Laweiver, shall obtain universally, and The
human heart, no longer the tenement O
seli>hness, passion and pride, shall b.
cleansed by the power Of gospel grace, and
filed with christian benevolence.
The abolition oflegalized, physical slave
~, as now existing in the southern State
and other dark portions Of the earth, is bu
a part Chough an important paru) Of GU
enterprise which may not cease till ran
: somed world, for which Christ died, shall
experience the full and blessed effects q

2 ho>annas to the King Eternal. We are t.
Il wage war against seclarian prejudice, Ill
the middle walls Of partition are broker
down, and christians united in common
/ fellowship and holy love. By the mora
J influence Of Chrislendon1, enlghted, unite
