ouS NAH, IuOt6 VI less. OF
nose who stand there as professors and
Profagators oft, to practice robbery, man
stealing and piracy. Those who step on
TO the platform OF the Baptist Triennal
convention, or allow themselves to be
represented there, either by their DEL
Iegates or their money, aid in propa-
gazing this religion. If they have hilh-
erto thought it to be otherwise, they have
deceived themselves, or have been de-
ceived Will they be deceived or deceive
themselves longer?
Brother HascaI undertakes to object to
the fitness Of the illustration drawn from
The secession of the Baptists from the
American Bible Socie:y, by saying that
that Society "deviated from constitutional
principles" In reply 70 this, only ask
brother HascalI If, on his own views and
admissions, shareholders have not violat-
ed the constitutional princ;pIes' of Chris
tianity, and thus given greater occasion
for Withdrawing, not only fellowship but
co-operation2 He Acknowledges slave
holders to BE- robbers and men. stealers-
he admits that their offerings are the
price of blood, and that their hands with
which they bring these offerings are drip
ping with gore - yet they are fitting
preachers of the gospel TO send out to
Asia! One of their number is already
on the ground in the employment of the
Board. They are not fit to be received
into cur puIpits nor at our communion
tables in Vermont - but they are good
enough to send abroad, as representatives
Of Christ to the hesthen!! A sIavehold-
ing religion is an abomjnation to Professor
7ascaI ir Vermont 49, but it is good
enough for him to send out to the ignor-
ant, 5enighted Burmans Anything,
right or a0rong, 10 keep party organl-
cation from going to pieces!
P. S. If any of the readers of tie Tel
egraph are the wiser or the better for
brother Hascall's review of these resoIu-
lions, am glad. After all that had be-
fore been said by Sears, Thresher, and
others, my own judgment would have
suggesled that the space now occupied by
brother HascalI could have been better
employed-onIy it was Professor HGseall,
founder Of Hamilton Literary and Theo-
logical Institution; and if | had refused
space TO be occupied On this subject, by a
man SO highly esteemed, it light have
been pretended by some that the cause l
advocate was shrinking from examination
But the cause Of truth has been benefited
by allowing such man to exhibit such a
piece Of work in opposition 10 it. So |
hope there may be no great dissatisfaction

: My Dear Sir:-A year since
troubled you with few thoughts, which
might perhaps be styled "4th of July re
{hections,'' or "reminiscences of mission
ary." These hope you have received.
: could easily give you another chapter OF
the same subject for on what day in til
S year is the bosom Of an American citize
Y more thronged with reflections, than on tn
a day Of his counlry's birth? But / hav'
r taken my pen for another object.
h Tomorrow is the fourth, and to-morro'
=. is The Sabbath. What a pity that ther
!, should be anything connected with the ce
ebration Of the anniversary of our country
birth, that should render it improper TO Of
IS serve it On the day Of God! How man
a Americans does slavery deprive Of this da
,r of rest, and constrain either directly or il
= directly TO desecrate ? Can any one WI
e loves the hallowed Sabbath apologize Fl
he slavery? Caa such an one fail to beseee
}. God, day and night, to destroy root ar
branch the deadly Upas whose shade
:. whitening allthat is fair, and whose poiso
: Gus leaves, streWed by the winds of heave
y are bearing contagion to the farthest limi
= of our beloved country2 On could l
!" with you, my dear christian friends of VI
to mont, on the morrow, and could | do a:
10 should delight 10 do--v visit every town
be the State, how would labor to excite y
ev one and all to earnest, importunate' per:
- vering prayer for our common country.
