slavery 10 our district, beneath the way-
inps of our common banner. Have we
then nothing to do with.slavery7
But why are Southerners so soreiy
troubled, when an anti-slavery paper
chances to find its way among them
It disturbs their consciences, and per-
suades some 10 give up the unholy work
of robbing the poor, and crushing the
"immortal longings" of the soul. The
craft is in danger. The leaven of aboli-
.lionism is at work among them. They
know that Abolitionists have been the
means of liberating more than three hun
dred slaves, during the past year; that
they have aided hundreds more on their
wav to Canada, who had dared to take
possession of their own bodies; that in
spite of gags and gibbets, of bowie knives
and bullets, their free and glorious princi-
pies were going right onward-and some
among them haveahad the foresight 10 dis
Germ, and the boldness 10 assert, that they
aoiU advance,
Until on every plain, and where the mountains
rise,
The beacon light of liberty shall kindle to the
skies.
The following letter will show what
course Southern Baptists intend to ia Ike at
the Baltimore convention. How intsnse-
ly they feel in relation to the woes d the
poor Burman heathenl How tef vent
must be their prayers, for the reign tfthe
peaceab!e kingdom OF Jesus, when ali lha il
see eye to eye,and the song of love and lhout
of rapture shall mingIe with the ela3sing
chain, to swell the everlasting anthei
The Fire Raging Still.
