nit the original returns, after he had enter
ed them on the journals of the House, to the
Treasurer Of the State. All this was done
TO enable the Treasurer TO charge States
Attorneys in account. BY the act Of 1889
the Clerk of the General Assembly is not
required TO transmit these returns TO the
Treasurer. BY Section 10Th, Chapter Sth,
Revised Statutes, it was the duty of the
Treasurer TO commence suit,against States
Attorney who had been delinquent, within
80 days after the close of each stated session
of the Legislature, and if he elected so to
do, che should be accountable for such de-
linquency in the same manner, as if the sum
so in arrear had been paid into the Treasury
when due" Suppose County Clerk had
omitted to make his returns TO the Clerk of
the General Assembly ola certain bond col,
lected by States Attorney, and the Attor-
ney had omitted to render his account to the
Treasurer, and the Treasurer had omitted TO
commence suit on the bond Of the Attor-
ney, by the letter of the law, the Treasurer
had become "answerable for such deInquen-
cy." How is ,ha; delinquency to be ascer>
tanned =? And if ascertaned, who is to COM
pei the Treasurer TO pay that amount? The
inquiry need not be pursued the law was
utterly insufficient TO secure the interest of
the State. In our next we design 10 COM
ment on the act Of 1912 as remedy for the
mischiefs OF the old law.

TO Christian AbOIitiOniSts.

We do not set ourselves up as pattern OF
consistency in the antislavery cause, al>
though for ourselves we think we see our
way clear,-and neither do we pretend to
be the exemplier of every right position,
and the reprover Of all things wrong in
others, while we mean TO be right and do
right, and bear our testimony against the
wrong and the wrong-doer under all cir
cumstanccs. What we do, we do under
all the imperfections Of human nature, and
can hope 10 be clearly right only when
we are led by the Spirit of God. But as
far as we feel that our testimony is im~
porlanl, we are bound to proclaim it; and
so with every other man. We must look
for the truth, advise one another and re-
prove one another-and all this we must
do with Christian spirit.
From The nature OF our position as abo>
Iitiousts, and from the light we have re-
ceived by the grace of God, in relation 10
the claims of our oppressed counlrymen,
we must necessarily differ widely from
most OF the people with whom.in the Pro-
whence of God, we are called 10 associate.
We are not wiser and better than they,
from any merit in ourselves, but because
we have been "calIed" TO the truth-be-
cause we have calmly listened 10 an inves
tigation OF The subject, and have submitted
ourselves 10 the convictions of duty. We
all believe ourselves right,--and on all fun.
damenla questions we ou9ht TO kao,U that
we are right, because we stand on an ad-
milted, self evident truth; because our own
sincere. inward convictions, without wa
vering or a doubt, tell US that we are in
the right; because the consciences of men,
the impulse of humanity, and common
sense, are on our side; and because God
has clearly recorded his appreciation o
our sentiments, 10 that he has declared
himself to be God of justice, and no re-
spector of persons. There is no presump
ton, then, in placing ourselves on thi;
ifm ground--lhat we know we are light
10 all fundamental matters that pertain tC
the antisavery cause.
On this position we are fixed II Their
becomes us TO inquire seriously in wha
manner shall we proclaim this truth. anC
advocate the cause of liberty to all! how
shall we expose toe errors of others, re-
prove those who are guilty, and bring III,
