REMOVAL.

The publisher wishes hereby 10 inform
his friends and patrons, that in accordancs
with the repeated suggestions oflhe friends
of Temperance, and from various consid-
e7ations, the Advocate will hereafter be
published at Middiebury, VT, to which
place he desires all orders, communica-
lions, exchanges, &C., to be directed.
The identity of the paper will be by no
means affected by the removal, as j: will
continue to advocate the same principles
that have hitherto characterized its pages;
and although it does not become US
to anticipate, yet it is confidently hoped
that the increased facilities to be enjoyed
at Middlebury, will render it still mora
efficient and welcome auxiliary in the
great moral enterprise whose name it
bears, and TO which ii is devoted. Edi-
tors thoughout,-the State, friendly 10 the
cause of temperance, will confer a favor
by giving this notice an insertion in their
respective papers.-Tem. Adrocate

QUESTIONS.

Brother Elhu Bronson, whose article NAV he
found on the first page, asks whether would
wish to set aside all human government" My
answer is brief, in the note appended. 1t would
have been more extended-but considered that
had already, on different occasions, answered
that question fully. If there be need still of my
being more full aud explicit on the point, l am
ready TO take it up when ever it may be necessary
The reason for my abiding to the subject again
now is, I wish to ask brother Bronson half doz-
en- questions which have occurred to me since
writing the notes following his piece. They are
these:
l.. Does brother Bronson believe that Jesus
Christ and his early followers were Non-Resist-
ants? ...... -... 49,.
2. lfhe believes they were not, will he give
his reasons for thus believing?
3. If he believes they ,ccre, will he offer any
reasons TO show why his present folio Wers should
not be such'
4. Will brother Bronson uphold human govern
ments in all things?
8. If not, who shall be the Judge, as to wha
things he will uphold them in, and what he vii
not2
6. If brother Bronson is to judge for himself
allied by scripture and reason, what does he d.
more or less than is done By Non Resistants?
