LCTION ON SLAVERY.

The Baptist Chulch in Andover, County of
Windsor, and Stale Of Verment, 10 all
whom it may concern:
Whereas, God hath made Of one blood all
nations of men 10 dwell on all the face of
the earth" and endowed them with GER
tain inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit Of happiness"
and since il is fact that in the nineteenth
century more than two and half mill
ions of the human family are held in alb
ject serytude, and deprived the use OF
these rights here in these United States !;
and that the professed followers of Jesus
Christ, both ministers and members. have
been and now are, deeply engaged in this
accursed traffic, by which they say it is
gospel wise; therefore
Resoloed. l. That the buying, selling, or
holding Of human being, as goods and
chauels, is heinous sin in the sight OF God;
is destructive Of christian piety and princi-
pie.
2. That it is the duty of every christian
that is in any way involved 10 this sin, 10
free him or herself from the same, without
any delay.
3. That it is the duty Of every church
and every disciple Of Jesus, whether minis
ter or member, in the meekness and firm
ness Of the Gospel, TO plead the cause Of
the poor and down-lrodden slave, by testi,
fying against the principle and practice OF
slaveholding; and TO lift up the voice Of
alarm until the church and the world shall
be cleared from the guilt of this heaven
daring sin. -... ..a .....@.

viewing slavery as contrary TO the best good
of mankind, and subversive of the Gospel.
we can not admit 10 our communion any
person who practises or tolerates slavehold-
ing, and thereby causes the church OF God
to be defiled; neither can we admit any
minister to our pulpit who, after so much
light has been given on this subject, contln-
ues TO hold slaves, or plead for the contlnu-
ance of slavery, until due repentance shall
have been effected in their hearts and made
manifest in their works.
5. That the above preamble and resolu-
lions. expressive Of our views Of the sin of
American Slavery, and the duty Of every
church & person uncontaminaIed with this
sin, to sound the trump of alarm through bout
the length and breadth of the land, until the
church and the world shall be freed from
this sin, be signed by the Moderator and
Clerk OF the church, and entered on our
records; and that the Clerk be and is here
by directed to prepare copy. OF the same.
and forward Immediately TO the Office ofahe
Vermont Telegraph for publication in thai
paper, with the request that all Editors
friendly TO the cause of righteousness and
equal rights, be requested 10 give the same
a publication in their respective papers.

Brother Murrdy-Sir:

l wish you to send no mole papers TO me
at this place, after the one that will contain
the above resolutions. My reasons are TO
be found in what follows. When | engaged
to labor with this people did not know that
any OF their members were in the habit OF
what is called temperate drinking, (other-
wise drunkenness,) but when l came TO gel
on TO the ground found that not far from
one third of the male members, are the
drinkers of either cider or distilled spirits,
and some Of them use both as beverage.
As usual with me, it became subject OF
discussion on Sunday, together with Amer
lean Slavery. also made it subject Of
conversation with the members Of the church,
lin personal conversation, trying 10 persuade
them of its evils and sin, that they might
put it away but not succeeding, laid the
subject before the church conference, some
two months ago 1T told them my views OF
the evil, and what thought TO be the duty
of the church, TO be clear from this thing
Not seeing any prospects Of action any way
on this subject, drew short petition, adj
dressed TO the church, and presented 1t to
some Of the members for their signatures.
Some signed and come did not; the petition
was praying the church TO take such action
on the subject as should free them from
the polluting influence of Intoxicating II
LIQUORS, taken as beverage, constantly or
occasionally, by its members; also showing
/, 10 the world that they had no fellowship
e with The unfruilful works of darkness, as
: wrought by the sale or use OF intoxicating
LIQUORS. This presented to the church In
church conference, last Saturday. The meet
S ing was quite full. It was made subject
d Of conversations. Almost every male mem
j. Der. and as many of the females as chose
FL smoke on the subject. After the subject hac
E. been discussed by them as long as they
l. wished to discuss il, il was thought by tht
n leading members not best to try vote OF
Ut the subject II was found 10 discussion
that the majority do not use the Acrll'er
themselves; but part of the majority
how large a number do not know = not
ri wi,hstanding they considered The use
II intoxicating liquors an evil, yet were siron'
he in the opinion thai each had right TO dr'n
s what they chose, and in this case the churc
to ought 10 take no cognizance. A part OF IN
ne majority were Of the opinion that the churc
ssd ought 10 take action on the subject, ana pt
Il. the evil away from their midst My OPT
of ion is, that if The question had been put an
ey every member had voted, il would have bee
found to result in putting away liquor

THE VETO.

The third Veto has afforded Us high satisfaction
and entities Mr. Tyler TO the thanks of the country
IL is perfectly we'll understood, by the people oil the
MON that the "liue bill" was not the fruit OF pam
otism but the spawn of selfish, INSCRIPTIONS, Pre-
.ident making cabal. We had learned some time
since that the provisional bill as il first passed the
House of RepIesen aiives, would incur Veto- Anu
were pleased to ind that Mr. yier haa not al
swed the mystifcations by which the Wing major
y in the Senate undertook TO disguise the bill, TO
divert him from his purpose The Senate's amend
nents only altered the form without changing the
substance and we are extremely gIatlhed that The
nsicous litlle bill has received the coup de grace
One of this veto seems to be, that dlst
button in effect is put hors dc combat durng Mr.. ~
er's term. The preposelous Pohcy oil borrowing mo-
new TO distribute TO the States, stands but poor
chance of being carried into execution during The
reign of the {" Captain" The Wings IN Congress,
il is true threaten 10 link distribution and tariii b
as ioJiss lubly topether the Siamese brothers. la
such case Mr. Tylers course is plain enough. lie
has only TO confirm to the exigencies OF high consul
tulional duty again. The People will sustain hun
and lay the blame al the door oil Congress whefe ~
will belong. These slralagems and circumvenling
tricks of the Wings in Congress will be apt 10 fail AMI
recoil back upon themselves. As to cutting on sup
plies by aboshing all the revenue laws and ADJOURN
mo ia a row that is all empty bravado. Al any rate
If The Lowell and Patterson gentry can gel along on
The no Taltf plan, we dare say the Virginia planter
aud farmer can make Free trade will then
have iJf tine full SWING,
As matters now stand, the time for distributing 'he
distribution money has arrived but unfortunately,
there is no money ia the public chest II Congress
will persist in sticking out for distribution and tam
bhh-they will get neilher-thats Hat II they give
up siribulon, they may get farm but 'ney
can not any way they can fix 1t, by all their hoous
pocus, get their idol, Distribution.
