STOPPING PAPER FOR OPINIONS SAKE.
We have ever viewed it rather small bust
ness for a man to discontinue his paper mere
ly because some particular article or articles
in that paper may not appear to comport
with his sentiments. Every subscriber main
tains that he has right to express his senti-
ments on every subject whatever; but the
editor. poor fellow, must have no sentiments
or feelings in common with his fellow-men,
or if he has them. at least he must be very
careful how he makes them known. For,
should he touch upon the subject of intem-
perance, the reeling Bacchanalian is Offend
ed, and as fast as his diagonal course will
permit, he staggers to the printing office, and
avenges himself by stopping his paper
Should he perehance denounce seduction as
demoralizing and base, the wrath of the de-
bauchee is fully appeased by stopping his pa
per. Should he say ought against gambling,
the pride Of the blackleg is wounded, and
forthwith he vents his spite by stopping his
paper. Should he deem it his duty to speak
/ of slavery as becomes real lover of liberty
and defender of his nations declaration Of
independence, the pro-slavery man must stop
his paper Should he hint that the aboli-
tionists are, like other men, falliable, they are
offended, and as a consequence their papers
must me discontinued. If he sees fit to state
as his opinion, that our citizens have no right
to evade another nation, with which we arc

to his sentiments on this subject order him Il

CLERICAL ANEcDoTE.-A young minis
ter received call from two different soci-
cites to become their pastor. One was
rich and able to give him large salary,
and was well united. The other was poor,
and so divided that they had driven away
their pastor. In this condition he applied
to his father for advice. An aged negro
servant who overheard what was said made
the reply, 'Massa go where there is the
least money and most devil He took the
advice, and was made the happy instru-
ment of uniting distracted church, and

We do not know what secret ISLANDERS may be
circulated by Wings and Democrats with regard
to the personal character of the Liberty candidates.
Whatever may arise, wish our friends to I'M
dersand that Blrney and Morris are both men
whose personal character is absolutely without re-
proach Purer and more trustworthy and compe-
tent men were never presented before the Ameri-

any church, it appears that some person has crcu-
lated story in the west that he is an infdel. This
Islander is set at rest by the following letter in the

me to say that | have had the honor of some pri-
vate interviews with Mr.. NJ, in which spoke to
him freely on the sub ect of religion. heard him
say, both in private, and in one of his public adj
dresses that he frankly acknowledged that he was
not professor of religion, nor yet member OF
any church. He regretted it. and acknowledged
with shame that he had lived so long without reli-
gion. He however hoped that this would not al
ways remain his condition. He added that he was
a firm believer in the Bible as the word of God
and that there was no other hope Of salvation anC

Stowe, up in 'spunky LamoilIe,' this year. John
Pierpont, of Boston, will be the Orator off the day.

public entertainment will be made as the citizens
of our town can we'll furnish. We shall dispense
with the usual mere animal excitements, such as
the military show, guns, drums, the ardent in all
its forms, &c., and endeavor to supply the place
with more of the genuine patriotic, intellectual &
moral. The public exercises will most likely be
attended in the grove, if the day should be pleas
ant. The procession will form from Raymond's

further proceedings will be furnished the public on
the occasion. Per order of Committee.

C rejoice, that the abolition Of slavery throughout the
civilized world is no longer Troblemaca; it seems to be
almost universally conceded that this supendous fraud
upon portion of the human is fast drawing to a
close and the great question with is truly what meas

the United States.

only be eIectuaIy exercised through the ballot box
And surely the ballot box be used for more
noble purpose, than to restore and to every man

HARD TO SwALLow.-The Editor of the Nor

him somewhat by surprise, but he submits to it
with the best grace he may, an act ofaIlegiance
to the party. "Hitherto," says he, "every demo
cratic president, with the exception of Mr.. Van
Buren,, has been a stakeholder, and we confidently
entertained the hope that in this instance, selec-
ton for the presidency would have been made
from the free states" Vain hope-the overseers
could no longer trust northern man. even tho
one 'of southern principles Slavery rules, and
the recent Wing and Democratic nominations fur.

grading to the North. Better leave the services at
once, friend Trench, and prove your Democracy

pot,-Chrtstian Freeman.
