The Catholics and Temperance.

As brother Holcomb and were coming
throngh Leicester, on Saturday, returning
from the Anniversary at Rochester, we fell
in with J. B. Daily, Catholic Priest, who
informed us that he was TO hold meeting
in Brandon village the next day, at which
time he would take up the subject Of Tenn
perance; and he gave US a cordial invita-
ton to attend and address his people on the
subject We attended, and spoke in our
way in behalf of the good cause. The
Priest followed Us in an eloquent and pow
erful appeal to his people. The result was.
that six who had not before taken the pledge,
took ii for year-and eight whose former
pledges had expired, came forward and re-
newed them for life. Our tavern keepers
can, if they will, testify toihe good effects
Of this meeling--so can wives and childrer

strained to refrain from inviting such to

Rochester for their hospitality.
O. S. Murray introduced the following
resolution, which passed w1thou ut discus

Resolred. That those. who advocate
slavery at the North are as culpabIe as
those who practise it at the South.
The following resolution was introduce

consideration when the hour arrived pre-
viously fixed on COR adjournment: -.
!. Resolced, That duty to God and the
slave demands of all abolitionists that they
forthwith cease toreceive and countenance
any man as christian minister who is
Shareholder. or an abettor of slavery, or
who refuses to bear decided and open
testimony against it.

The Anti-slavery Anniversary.

The meeting was on the whole an inter-
esting one. The weather and travelling
were highly favorable, and the number in
attendance larger than usual. There was
no attendance from abroad; and yet there
was no want Of speakers. There were
fewer Baptists present than there would
have been, but for The Barre Association
being in session at the same time. uv
1t will be seen, from the proceedings oil
the meeting, that the Society has taken one
new, if not unprecedented step. The fact
however, that the move is new, or that it is
unprecedented, if it be SO, is, alone, no ar
gument against its correctness or its dis,
Greatness. The movement have reference
to is, the appointment of an agent to go te
the South. The final vote which decided
to send the agent, it being on the motion Il
reconsider, which motion was lost, wa.
very far from being unanimous. The mi
nority was large and decided. Il
My own reasons for opposing the meas
ure were given ie. the meeting. Thing

ford me additional reasons in support Of th
position then maintained. lido very tnuc

THERIGHT OF SEARCH.

Their ExceIencies Lord fALMERsToN
and Nc. Ambassador STEVENSON, on re-
firing nearly simultaneously to The shsdes
OF private life, concluded to have "sby"
al each other on some promising subject
Of International difference. so as TO leave
their successors as much trouble ON hand
as possible. The theme Of our retIfIng
ambassador was the pregnant "RiSht OF
Search" AS involved IN The recent search
rs Of American vessels on the coast Of
Africa, by British cruisers engaged IN
the suppression Of the slave trade. Mr..
S. found The retiring Foreign Secretary
"nolhing loth,n and so there was very
pretty passage between them, which
might fill (most unpro6tabIy) two COL
umns Of our paper. Both parties are
partly right and partly wrong, as usual IN
such disputes. Great BriIsin urges
that, having undertaken the suppression
of the internal traffic in human flesh with
no desire or hope Of gain, but at great
expense to herself, it does not become
other civilized nations TO thwart her, and
that she cannot effect the object IN view
without searching vessels which hoist
foreign coIors, that il putting up an A
merican flag or even carrying American
papers is to screen vesse the slave
trade can never be suppressed. All this
is most true and vet the question is IN
answered. By 'Ohdt right do you search

difficulty, /. strikes US, is by treaty,
whereby each nation shall cOncede 10
the other the ,ight Of searching suspected
sIavers OH the coast of Africa, within
certain prescribed IaIludes and under
settled restrictions. This will obvlate all
difficulty, and relieve onr country from
