Brother Murray:
have been thinking. since l saw the
proceedings of the Baptist Anti-Slavery
Convention. held at Waterbury last week,
that my suggestion respecting a new cri-
terion of qualification for church member
ship, was hardly necessary for the main
body Of those convened on that occasion.
Be that as it may, | can say, and say tru-
ly, that | rejoice that so much readiness
was manifested 10 separate from the slave
holding portion of the Baptist Churches
You may be assured that this bold move
will set many minds 10 investigating the
subject, which have before lain, in great
measure, dorment upon II. You may be
assured 10, that this will do more % sci
the South at work than any one act oflate.
They may for time, call the secelers.
fanataical, or visionary, and perhaps IN
christian, in separating from them in this
work Of evangelizing the hsathen! Blu,
mark my word. those who have any de-
sire 10 do right will soon acknowledge
the propriety OF your course. Others in
the northern States will soon 60 with you,
and this will wake up others at the South,
and they must soon feel the keen rebukes
which will be seht from this section, and
from England. Scotland, and other Euro
pean countries, in such way as to lead
them to throw aside the accused system.
But while the slave holders can meet with
others who profess religion and hold no
slaves, but apologize for their holding
their brethren in bondage, they feel them
selves honored. and say If it was 0icked
practice, others would see it, and tell them
30. Be Of good cheer. for other denomi.

and such lide Of religious public senti.

The object of our Conventions in this
State is, TO bring our system of military
defence 10 the les. Of Christianity. The
following resolutions, in substance. viii!
be discussed:
Resolred, That the War principle and
system are virtual rejection of chris
tiani,y, being necessarily opposed to its
essential spirit and fundamental principle.
Resolved, That danger to property, LID,
erty and life is, in any nation, in proper
lion to its means of military defense.
Resolred. That those who countenance
and sustain the military system stand in
position of hostility to Christ, as the Prince
of Peace, and are, in fact, the blood y en-
emies of The human race, apd ought 10 be
SO regarded bv the friends of God and man.
Resolred. That ii is an insult to Christ.
and an outrage upon common sense, to
support war-making religion and clergy,
as The religion and ministry Of the Prince
of Peace.
Dear Bro,her-You see the whole ques'
ton of non-resistance turns on this simple

Geo. S. Brown was right when he threw

WOODSTOCK ASSOCIATION.

WOODSTOCK ASSOCIATION.
North Springfield, Sept. "a, l84l.
Dear Brother Murray:
send YOU line this morning rel
alive to the meeting of the Woodstock
Association which closed its session yes
terday. There were present at that meet
ing Prof. Sears of Newton Mass, and
Brother Thresher of Boston, who as
Brother 'Fhresher publicly stated, came to
this State to Set things right relative to
Missions. The following are among the
transactions of the Association:
l. The committee on minutes Of cor
responding Associations presented for con-
sideraton a resolution from the minutes
of the Genesee River Association, touch
ing the doings at Baltimore, and a discuss
ion Of more than 2 l-2 hours followed,
but nearly all on one side.
g. The Moderator D, Packer, made
taOo long speeches, without calling any one
70 the chair, in which he most severely
denounced the aboltionists.
8. Prof Sears made one long speech,
besides several short ones, in which he
iabored to justify the doings at Baltimore,
and denounced as false, all tina! had been
said relative to the caucus and the un-
derstanding between the North and the
South, relative to the exclusion of aboli-
;ionists from the Board, denying any con-
cent betweem any brethren at tie North,
and The South, relatire to tits matter.
4 Brother Thresher from Boston, made
several speeches on the same side Of the
question, laboring to produce the sane e.
feet.
S. The abolition brethren were not per-
United to occupy 10 all more than 20 or IS
Misunderstanding a discussion Of more
than 2 IL hours, which was less time
than the moderator occupied in one
speech aohen on! Of order; and they were
denied the privilege of asking Professor
Sears one question after his speech OF 55
minutes.
6. While the pro-s!avery brethren were
speaking, there was no interruption by the
chair or others, bot il was far otherwise
when the abolition brethren attempted tc
speak.
7. In several instances the aboIitionists
were put down in most ungvntlemanly
manner by the moderator, when they
were entitled to the floor.
7. Several Of the abolitonists who went
TO the Association strongly opposed to a
new organization, returned with the settled
conviction, that if at Baltimore abolition.
lists were treated in the same manner as
the few who attempted TO speak at Ches-
ter, the time had fully come when they
must act independently, if they respected
their own rights, and were unwilling to
be gagged and become slaves themselves.
8. When alusion was made 10 The late
letter of DR.. Johnson president of the
Trlenniol Convention. in which be gives
his version ofthe doings at BaItimore) by
one of the abolitionists in support of sew.
eral positions taken, Prof Sears and bro.
Thresher rose and stated that The DIS
! letter had been Inexperienced. and when
the letter was brought forward. and ex-
tracts read which fully sustained the posi-
lions, brother Thresher again arose, AND
STATED SEVERAL TIMES IN HIS SPEECH
THAT DR.. JOHNSON WAS NOT coMPE-
TENT WITNESS
An EYEWITNESS.
