c0Aio0ufe,ism; it might be the true do,.ripci,

b ptists-and that / would try to helm the
audience see the same. | did not think II
quite just that men should have the thunder
and lightning Of Mr.. Colver's INDIGNATION
poured out upon them, while they were nj
the polls as 0icH, and find comparative safe
ty by being IN the pulpit, and around the
communion table as clcrgymen and Chris
uans. SO put 10 the Convention the fol-
lowing questlous:-ls any one tit to hold an
office under the government, who will vote
Tor such a man as Henry Clay or James X
Polk, or any other stakeholder Rev. Mr..
Webster of llopkinton, having lust finished
a speech, and being still on the floor. an
swered the qucstion-and without hcsit,-
tlon-ln the negative. lie gave me a very
einphatic-'Ao.' ! then put this question 10
hints the man who will vote for a Slave
holder an aJohtionisH His reply was-.not
my kind of an abolilionist; and the manner
In which he replied was sufficiently sionif-
cant to me-, that le regarded such a man az
scarcely an abOliiionist at all. | then asked:
is a man who will vote for a Shareholder
a christian? Is he fit to be received into the

for the Church who is not tit for an Office in
the State, aud not an abolitiDuist! Is your
standard Of political fellowship higher than
your standard Of religious fellowship! do
not care to take up the time of the Convcn-
uon lii arguing this matter; | only want the
audience to see Liberty Plrty's position. and
would like 70 have definite answers to my
questions, II you are disposed to give them.
Here Mr.. toIyor cam to the assistance Of
Mr.. Webster with one OF his peculiar sneers
against 'GIrsIsOuism'- filling however TO
get up much of d laugh. IL the brother,'
sad ne, 'wcro boHlSi, he would come Gu:
plainly and tell us that he is a thorough &C
log Gdrrisonian.' But it matters not, l re-
Piled, whether am a high churchman, a
Garrlsoniln, or the most confirmed atheist on
earth--l suppose | may ask IA few simple
questions in virtue of my humanity. And as
/ was Pioo,uding 10 point out 10 the audi
chce Tie Inconsistency Of receiving men in
10 the Cilurcl and at the communion table,
who were MT t for c'rii QNcc, he broke in
