then say whether lis warfare is with slavery
or Liberty party-a party organized for the
express purpose of aiding in the work for
which he ostensibly labors. lie says mem
bers of the Liberty party are as h%eartless as
the %veriest slave-driver that ever scourged the
back of woman with a cow-skIn--the whole
of which is a perfect tissue of SANDER and
misrepresentation; and then, with character
istic Eastern arrogance, represents the people
on the Reserve as heather, and himself a mis-
sionary in their midst. (9.) The figure may
be a good one in this respect. Wicked men
are sometimes sent to heather countries,
amongst "a people better than themselves, and
they soon evince such recklessnes of charac-
Ter in their vituperation and abuse, that it is
not in taste with heather notions of proprie-
ty; hence the failure of their missions.
Who, acquainted with the people on the
Reserve, does not know that they will COM
pare favorably in intelligence and moral cha
%racter. with the people of the New England
States To corroborate which we have the
former testimony of Stephen S. and Abby
Kelley Foster, stating that it was the best
and most intellectual field of labor in which
they had been engaged. Are they not pro-
verbal as intelligent Abolitionists? Why,
then, are they represented as ignorant hea-
then! Simply because they cannot believe
that the United States Constitution ais a
covenant with death, and an agreement with
HE'LL" and assent to his refined notions of
Christian proprioty, but are willing to use
the in~strumentalities guaranteed by that Con-
s%titution for the overthrow of that wicked sys-
tenn.
In the same letter he uses the following
language: 81 think the dishonesty of third
party here, exceeds, if possible, that of New
England. lis leaders openly avow their ha-
tired Of Anti-Slayery Societies, and their dis
like g so much nigger business" "They
denounce Abolitionists, &c. Per-
haps a more unlruthful sentence was never
penned. There is one advantage, however,
in such fragrant perversions. They iniure none
so much as those who make them. CIO.1
In both of these letters DR.. Bailey is re-
presented as praying for the safety of Gen.
and his army, in their murderous cru
SADIE against Mexico.
Now what are the facts in relation to the
matter! Why DIR. Bailey has written more
and to better purpose, against this infamous
war, than all the papers in the country put
Ql.) And still the charges are urged
against him. could not believe that they were
in earnest, were it not for the pertinacity with
which its truth is insisted upon. 1t cannot
be any other than nice sticking for their con-
suuction Of a small article penned in haste, and
which the Doctor declares he did not design
to be understood as it is construed. Such a
course seems to me utterly indefensible, not
to say dishonest. (l2.) The object, no doubt,
is to break down the Liberty party, and re-
gardiag DR.. Bailey and other prominent indi-
viduals as pillars, they seek to accomplish
their purpose by destroying the confidence of
Anti-Slavery men in them, but more p%articu-
larry DR.. Bailey, whom they pursue with a
zeal that stops at nothing, and it seems as
though they were about as unfair and unscru-
pulous as the ]verricst stump politicians of the
country.
How it would rejoice my heart to see these
revilIngs and chickering's banished from our
midst, and we again united, laboring to pu-
rify this country from the atrocious sin of
slavery.
Yours Respectfully,
J. HEATON.
