nave II tnat your language OF thoSe VINO
are opposed to your views, is not SO mild
and christian like as it ought 10 be. Your
remarks on Mr.. Thomas awhile since,
gave no little offence. and I hear you LOST
subscribers by it, &c. &c. .s.-> =.
Your friend most truly, - ~
~ SAMUEL CoTTING.
The things here brought to light are not
peculiar to Rutland They come 10 my
ears from different directions. They are
introduced to show the ways and means"
by which the conspirators against the Tele
graph are carrying on their malicious work
in the dark-te show the esprit. and prin-
cipleso which they seem 10 think suited
to promote the Fiety and edifcatioa of our
| churches"! ] shall not stop here to go into
an extended combination of the charges bro't.
| As for the complaint in regard to the flow
state of religious feeling" throw the re-
sponsibility where it belongs, maintaining
| that the sin lies at the doors of those who
oppose themselves 10 truth and righteous
ness. Brother Cotting's allusion to what
ever change may be desired or attempted in
relation to the Telegraph" has reference TO
pretended effort on the part Of the enemies
of the Telegraph to purchase it-in the event
of which purchase should have printed
another paper Let it now be understood
by all tina; the Telegraph is to be continued.
As for my christian character" it is open
to scrutiny, and must be judged of by my
words and actions. The statements in re-
j gard TO the Sabbath shall be attended to
soon probably next week. II would be
too much of DEPRESSION to give that point
due attention in this place. The develop
ments of the case will cause many ears to
Jingle. The viper will be shown to have
been biting file. As for my Nethodisns,
ask my Methodist friends in Brandon if they
will own me. might as well have been
charged with Papacy, outright. have at
tended two Roman Catholic meetings, for
the purpose of aiding the Temperance cause
among that class. Perhaps have attended
J twice as many Methodist meetings. These
statements are not made TO defend my char
acter but TO show what things will be
seized on to make capital Out Of against the
Telegraph, just because in its warfare
against all sin it exposes some sins which
certain religionists wish 10 have concealed
for "their interests" and "to promote The
piety and edifcation of our churches y
!, But, to return TO further consideration o.
, "heir interests" One ofthese interest:
will be, to keep in union and co operation
qoih men stealers. The Editor and al
three of the Committee went TO Waterbury
and did what they could to defeat the object:
of that Convention. They all advocated
! the continuance of our connection and CO
T operation with those VINO bring the pric,
c of blood into the common treasury. The,
r are still advocates of the same thing. They
j dare not deny that il is one of the objects o
i their enterprise in getting up this paper, t.
prevent, so far as possible, the extension o
the NOIh COtuiuSuCCu db w du
!, not entering into their bosoms, nor into an,
private chambers, for evidence to sustain
u this view. They stand before the publi
8 fully committed 10 that work, in their act
b already published, in connection with tn
u proceedings al Waterbury. True, nothin'
,fl distinct or tangible appears 10 this point, il
!. their manifesto put forth in their specimen
!, number. That would not do. It would nc
: be safe for them at all to show their tru
colors at this point at FIRST. It would gofa
: TO defeat them in their crusade against tn
: Telegraph. Their work must be done SUI
{ rep,iriously. They must begin BY throwin
y out the distinct heads Of Abolition : Mora
