We cheertuIly insert this letter from our
brother, and hope BIZ; remarks in relation TO
the importance Of full representation from
Baptist churches in Vermont will not be
overlooked. Southern Baptists have taken
their stand. They demand that some of our
most distinguished and most eminent min
listers be expelled from The church, for the
objectionable sin Of talking against slave
holders. They have already TO great ex-
tent, withheld their funds from the mission
treasury, to the great embarra ssment of the
board and injury Of the cause. Will North
ern Baptists grant their demands, and thrust
out their brethren from the church, one after
another as often as they become obnoxious
to shareholders, for the sake Of union and
christian fellowship Never. Arguments
founded upon threats Of disunion, can never
silence the lips Of Northern Baptists-
These FANATICS" are not few and feeble
They will not "down" at the bidding of
council or convention. They are in eve
ry church and among every sect. Their
voices are heard in every neig hborhood, pro-
| testing against slavery in its mildest as well
as in its more hdeous forms. They love
the cause Of missions, and will continue to
support it, but they have not yet arrived 10
that height Of "Ganatcism," that they will
rive their own churches into fragments, for
the sake Of casting their offerings into the
same box with the "prlce of blood"
| That our brethren may understand dis
tinc,ly the course that will be taken at the
Convention, we copy the following resolu-
tons, passed by the Savannah River Asso-
citation and published in the Biblical Recor-
der and Southern WatchmaD of Feb. 20.
! "Resolred, That the State Convention
be requested 10 retain the friends [fundsI
sent by this association until the Trienni-
al Convention shall publish their repudi-
alton e the whole spirit aud conduct Of
Baptist Abolitionists.
Resolred, That we, the Savannah
River Association, deem the conduct of
, Northern Aboitionists highly censurabl.
and meddlesome, and request our State
Convention to instruct their delegates to the
Triennial Convention, TO demand of our
Northern brethren, whether they can &C.
knowled ge those fanatics as co-workers
in the great work of geIizing the
world, and to state fully 10 them the i'm.
possibility of our further cooperation, IN
less they dismiss such from their BODY"
/ We copy the following from the Mor,ioo
Star, published at Dover, N. H., together
