tigation OF the subject or doctrine Of Non Resist

that paper to print what might be said by me. in
the investigation Of this doctrine, (slhough weak
and unskilled,) than II would 10 extol and Iaud
some Revs., or appreciate the doings of rotous
meeting. therefore had the presumption to
write the enclosed, and presented it on the 25h,
inst. Dec, to Mr.. Blasdel, Editor of the Yer
monter, and requested him to print it. He at
FIRST remarked that it would not do for II was too
silIy and foolish doctrine; and that it had moth
ing to il, worth noticing. and that his patrons
fwould not Ike it. remarked that il he should
leave out some anecdotes that did the world no
good. and print something on the great reforms
Of the day, would be responsible for the damage
that his paper should suffer. He said il would
draw out an opponent immediately. told him
that that was what wished. He then said he
did not wish to PROT any thing that would injure
his business, for he printed political paper
But urged him to take it. He reluctantly said
he would take it, and peruse it, and If he thought
Iproper. would print it. He has perused and
returned il. with few lines and his signature.

Iobjections to the article. He said it was we'll

rebuke and exposure Of the Vergennes riot, and
believe he wrote the truth.) But since this
article c,uld not be admitted into the columns of
the vergennes vermonter, send the same to
you, not urging an admission of 90 feeble apiece,
into your valuable paper but leaving il with your
discretion. / cannot say that you have any thing

Brother, i am accused of being one Of that danger

friends. and thought that If were to be con-
Iden,ned before was heard, would before exc
lcution try to be heard. Iwouli say, let such be
cautious, that, when they condemn the rlnciple,
they despise not the Founder of the principle
for Ibelieve that Nom Resistance Is not of mod
em origin, but that it is as ancient the Sermons
