bic procedure.
Let as act in this crisis Of affairs, with
the moderation and wisdom that becomes
us. Letnot our Tashness afford pfetext
for the insolence Of abolitionism. Let us

and we trust that his Providence may so

will give way to an assured conviction of
the rectitude of our brethren and the per-

| is rapidly approaching an important issue,
and will soon be decided. AT such time
it becomes each one to be active and thor
ough in search for: truth and duty.

however, he must not attribute this to any
want of respect for himself, nor to any fear
on our part, of not receiving every proper
kindness and courtesy at his hands--but
solely to the obvious inconsistency of reIin-
