III ME Editors of this Journal, wish to call pub
Il lie attention to the fact that they will hercaf-
ter on the conditions stated below frank the Nos to
all OF their subscribers who receive the work direct
y from them by mail. Their object in making this
offer, is to place those persons who are so situated
that they cannot take the work through an agent,
and therefore free Of charge of transportation, on
the same footing in this respect with city subscribers
Subscribers by mail have heretofore paid from 81 to
sl.37 per amman Tor postage, which has been suf-
icien consideration to induce many to decline taking
tile work. Now that this objection is removed. upon
the simple condition of punctua remittanccs the
Editors confidently hope that the number of their
mail subscribers will be much increased; and they
make no apology to their present supporters and con-
rlbuors, for asking their assistance in aiding them
to sustain this experiment, by making this notice
more public, and by inducing their friends to sub
scribe.
Experience has proved that the mail is by far the
best means of conveyance to distant subscribers the
most sure and most speedy; and all attempts TO es-
tabl'sa agencies at distance, and away from the
great lines OF transportation have utterly ilicddc-
lay and disS lstiction aud often Abandonment of the
work being the result.
The American Journal of Science and Arts is
published at New Haven Connecticut Each num-
her contains at least 200 pages closely and hand
someIy printed on good paper, and fully illustrated
by cngravin5s. The subscription is Sc in advance,
by mail The extra dollar beyond the usual price
Of the literary quarterIes is indispensable, on &C.
count Of more limited patronage and the great
Remittances should be made if possible in Eastern
money, but it that cannot be obtained, the best bills
which can be had may be substituted, and no dis
count will be charged upon them.
Subscribers will remember the regulation Of the
Post Office Department. by which Postmasters arc
authorized to remit payments for periodicals free of
postage. if the letter containing the remittance is
written by themselves.
All letters and renittanccs directed to the Editors
of the American Journal of Science and Arts, New
Haven, CT, will receive prompt attention.
N. B.-Subscrbers who wish to avail themselves
of the free postage must that their accounts are
not in arrears: when such is the fact the Editors
cannot pay the postage.
u Advertisements are inserted on the customary
rates, and the European circulation of the work rem
ders it desirable vehicle for the advertisements of
American publishers; the usual publication day is
the last of every quarter.

scrupulously separate themselves from the
lesser sin, and at the same time will cling
to the greater, il is for them TO explain
To me, it is inexplicable and Incompetent
sible. Another unaccountable inconsistency
in as many Anti-Slavery Baptists as con-
linue their adherence to the pro-slavery
institution is, that they go into christian
union, fellowship and cooperation, in
preaching the gospel to men abroad, a0ith
those aOhom they e:rclude, for unchristian
conduct, from their pulpits and their COM
ntunioa tables at home! AS though, an
adulterated gospel were good enough to
carry abroad As though men too corrupt
and wicked to be fellowshipped in the Or
dinances and duties Of religion in this Chris
tian lane, were pure and holy enough to be
fellowshipped and received to cooperation
in carrying these ordinances and duties to
pagans! 1t is fairly to be presumed that
our Boston friends who visited US, and all
the Board, have not rejected shareholders
from the communion table or the pulpit
There are very few in Vermont who are
on the same ground. All such are consist
ent with themselves in continuing co-opera-
ton with Shareholders in missionary efforts.
One part of their fellowship with iniquitY
and the workers of iniquity agrees with
another part. Our Anti-Slavery brethren
owe it to themselves, to the Ant-Slavery
cause, and to the whole anti-sin cause, to
receive arguments aud doctrines from such
sources with extreme caution. If their reas-
ons for holding on upon one part of fellow
ship and cooperation with sin and sinners
have all originated with themselves, they
may find aid in testing the soundness of
these reasons by comparing them with the
reasons for continuing the other part of the
fellowship, which they have themselves
broken and abjured. Brethren, see to ii
that you do not govern yourselves, in this
momentous matter, by that corrupt and
abominable doctrine, professedlY repudia:ed
by the vilest politicians themselves, that

LETTER FROM BROTHER coTT1NG.


My Brother Murray When good
and wise men differ on the various subjects
of moral reform, which now agitate the
public mind, as they certainly do differ,
it becomes question painful to every hon
est enquirer after truth, who, or what is
right2 When look at the system of
American Slavery, and compare it with
the law of God as given TO US by his serv-
ant Moses, which deals equal and exact
justice to all, without distinction of grade,
cline or color, have been led 70 wonder
that but one opinion should ever for
moment have obtained on the subject
The truth is. did We all look the slape
system full in the face, instead of looking
at the treatment which. no doubt, many of
the slaves receive, who have kind mas
tiers, there would be much more unformi-
ty of opinion than there now u.s. Wha',
indeed, if many of the slaves arc kindly
treat d. what if they are better off con-
tinuing in slavery than they would BE- had
they their liberty given them2 No thanks,
this, to the system of slavery. 1t is still
The same system, fraught with all evil,
and securing no good TO the subjects of it.
And deem it no harshness to say that
the system of American Slavery, is the
very habitation O devils, and The hold
of every foul spirit, and cage of every
unclean and hateful bird" That such
are the principles, and such The character
of The system there can be no question
with any who have by reading and refec.
ton, acquainted themselves with it. That
macy who are connected with this system
at the South, and at the North Seem
pledged to its support, are good men,
christian men, there can aud need be no
debate. But it no more follows from this
admission that we should hold fellowship
with them, than that as Baptists, we
we should hold fellowship with Pedo-
baptist christians while we view them as
connected with. and UNFOLDING by their
