3 AN OPPOSITION PAPER

- AIN O1F OSl i lON PAPER.
Brother Murrdy:-I understand somsof
our Baptist brethren have concluded IN o.
tablish another paper, to be printed at MID.
dlebury, under the care, or rather al The p.
quest Of some Is or 16 of our churches il
this Stale. Now if the object is 10 nromo,.
and carry forward the great principles Of
Christianity and human rights, would say
to them, go on, brethren Il bid you God
speed. But am told by some of my coed
Baptist brethren that the paper is set up in
opposition to the Telegraph. Now, Sill
have been a constant reader of the TEE.
graph ever since you have been its EIor
and when look back upon the course wa
have pursued, and the great principles for
which you have contended, am al a grea;
loss TO know what kind Of opposition YOU
will meet with from that new organ. |
know of some good brethren that say lie,
can not take brother Murray's paper, becau>
he is so severe in some Of his remarks upon
some articles that are admitted into lie
Telegraph. And l have almost thought
some times if brother Murray would dip h>
pen in something besides Truth, it woy5
not give so much off4nce When en-.
slider upon the course, and the high groG2!
you have taken in regard to the great priv
ciPles Of religion, and all those other things
which are so nearl y connected with il, (>gcl
as Anli-SIavery, Temperance, Moral Re-
form, and Non ReSistance,) | think !:
stand in a very responsible station teG
the public. And would say to all Of ua
Baptist brethren, that there is some re>p0@>
Utility resting on Us. . For if brother Mur<,
is right, and any of Us neglect to sustain
him, we may be called to give an accou1
in that great and terrible day. And IwoaI5
say TO nv brethren-pause and reflect. AMI
10 you, brother Murray, would sag CT.
You are about great work; AMI lii,
you will not come down at the call of t5},"
modern Sanballats; bot persevere. AL
WELD your pen in the noble cause Of human
rights. And as you have put the lump 10
your mouth, never lay il down until you
sound the grand jubilee Of universal IjJerr
TO all those that are in bonds. And may
heaven reward you. And when you have
finished your course, tlust you will hare
kept the faith, and at last hear the raUdf
