LETTER FROM BROTHER sHERWIN.
There has been special effort, in Graf
ton, 10 get away subscribers from the
Telegraph. 1t does not surprise me thai;
those individuals who, instead of thinking
and deciding for themselves, employ their
minister or others to think and decide for
them, should many of them lay down the
Teleg faph at the bidding of the keepers
Of their consciences. But was surprized
when l had orders, some weeks since, to
discontinue brother Sherwin's paper at the
middle Of this volume. l could not ac-
count for it. l am greatly rejoiced now
to be informed, under brother Sherwin's
own hand, that he has concluded 10 con-
tinued to think and act for himself! Give
me one such tnan to 60 into the field
against sin "a man who depends on his
own head and heart, under the teaching
and guidance of the Spirit of Truth. and
you may have score Of those who ac>
under the direction OF others. Can MOI

Dear Brother Murray:

straight forward course was not the way
! to rebuke sin with effect. After | sent the
! money began to reflect on the course
was pursuing. kne@ that [ had been 8
constant reader of the Telegraph evel
since its commencement; and since you
have conducted it, have admired your
straight forward course. The question
came to me - where shall | 60 to find a
paper that rebukes SID 10 high aud low
places, like the Telegraph? found tina
l could not find one, especially in the
State Of Vermont. l then concluded tc
continue my subscription for the Tele,
graph, tnus bidding you God speed CO
on, my Brother; and may EIJah's man
tie fall on you, that you may have wisdom
to rebuke sin till there shall not be Sin
ner to rebuke.
What most be the condition of those
protesting Christians - especially editors
and ministers-who stand up and say tina
slavery, or rum selling. or licentlousnesS
are not crying sins Of the Iand, aud ough
TO be rebuked by every friend of virtue
and the slave2 May The scorpion lash o
rebuke fall on such professors, through
the length and breadth of the land, till thu
slave holder and the Northern abetto
shall hide themselves in the dark shades
of oblivion, or repent Of their sins ane
turn to God.
One word with regard to Non-Resisi

popular as war & strife. May the trum]
that has begun 10 sound, sound louder an
louder, till the war-supporting clergy an
