Mr.. Murray-In the last Banner no.
ticed an article, calling attention to tn.
subject of ths "BsbIe Society fecentIy
formed in this place, and casting SOM cen
sure on the officers for neglect Of DUTY &c.
While / am gratifed to observe the interest
felt in the success Of the Bible cause, I aiss
regret to say that / fear there is some room
for complaints as tonsgligence Of sone,d
not all Of the officers of tltc Society, ana
hope the friendly hint @ f'yeur correspond
|ent will have the effect OF srOasing them to
renewed energy in the discharge Of their
duties. But while I acknowledge to some
extent aparticipationin the general lethar-
gy on the subject, l must say in self de-
fence that ihave not totally the
duties allotted to me. For the information
of your correspondent and the public, al
low me to say that the Society has provided
a liberal supply Of Bibles and Festaments,
which they have deposited at the store Of
E. & D. Draper, for sale and distribution;
and that | caused a notice of the same to
he published in tile Banner some time since,
and that some progress has been made in
distributing both Bibles and Testaments.-
There. is no doubt, however, that bymore
energy on the part Tof the officers and
friends of the cause, many cases of drstitu-
ton could be found and supplied.
Twill just say in conclusion, that tile So
ciety still has on hand a liberal supply OF
Bibles and Testaments, which they sell 20
those able to purchase at about cost and
carriage, and in all cases where the fact is
made known, donated to persons unable to
purchase. And in furtherance Of the OBJ
iiccts Of the Society, a lpcrsons in the coun-
Ity are requested to make known to the
Treasurer Or some other member OF the So
ciety, any person who may be in want Of
either Bible or Testament, and the case
will be promptly attended to-.

did enough to tell the gentleman, that his
plaster IS neither thick enough nor broad
enough to cover the wound. To hear his
story he is no abolitionist, though he enter
tains his own very peculiar notions of sla-
very. He is a decided wing, and a mem
Der of the club, though he loves the true
JeferSonian democracy. As a mhig and a
IEaao abiding man, he glories in his demo-
cratic and anfi-sarery notions. The
thought of practising a fraud never en-
tered his head, when, without explanation.
he distsIi- 'nd his abolition tracts at a tenn
perans A.sting. Surely it was purelyac-
cidental, that he circulated them so freely
among the women and children, and forgot
to give even a single copy to any man in
the house, but returned the rest to their
place ofdeposit-the saddle-bags. Whydid
these things happen? Surely not without
a reason; sand he that cannot reason is a
fool" But we are surprised that any com
munity should be silly enough, to style, that
an abolition tract, whose "~pledge" binds
every member to associate "mih all per-

culated by a man who is said to be accused
ofabolitionism by his own immediate neigh
bours.-But as we said in our last weeks
paper, the people were not so much dis
pleased with the sentiments ofthe tract, as
with the manner of distributing them. They
were excited it is true, but not to SO great
an extent as the gentleman imagines. II

comply with a polite request, to leave town

Rnp,Or of an .7rnisLice


The following is from the United States
Gazette OF the 30th ult.
We see in the papers iHtimatinnS that a he
gotiation will ere long b. opened, by which
the two republics of North America may
settle their difference without a continuation
of war and additional bloodshed. We do
not know how the negotiation WILDE coin
.menced, nor is it Of much consequence 10
JUS, as, of course, the proposition will GENE
from the other side of the Del Nortc. We
believe that hopes are entertained i'll high
quarters that the proposition will be made,
land infer that the orders 10 Gen. Scott to
take command ofthe army, originated ntl'r
belief that he would promote the PROPOSE
ton sooner than any other General.
A private letter iron Washington, written
by one who has access to the ''powcrS that
be-" mentions that Gen. Scott has declared
to the Presidents Cabinet, that if the whole
direction of theMexican war should be COM
mitted to his immediate charge, he will bring
liz % a close in July next, at an additional
cost of b25, 100000. Gen. Scott makes a
Icalculation before he makes an assertion,
land vc ST.. bound to believe, If our intor-
|mation is correct, that he can do what he
promises, and consequently the Govern
ment does well to place the direction oil tie
war in his hands.
He has experience and Judgment; he has
nothing else to do, and can go and see that
The work is done according TO his direction.
Every man must desire the close of u war
that certainly brings no credit to the
try. that adds nothing to the prosperity OF
the people, or tue glory to the Govern.
ment.
Since writing the above, we find the fol-
lowing in tile Newark Daily Advertiser:
Seen Scott is still in New York. lie
goes to Mexico with a carte blanche from
the administration, which asked his counsel
on Monday, and promptly adopted it con-
corning future operations. Gen. Taylor al
so desires his presence and aid. The Pres
ident's message, we heard, will ask for forty
millions of dollars and fifty thousand men, to
conquer peace at once"
We agree with that Editor who says
"The next two years will be one Of organ
~i-ation for the Democratic party" The
democratic party will triumph in the next
Presidential contest, because it has right,
and the sympathies ofthe people on its side;
because It has the POWER, and the
ability,-thc good will of the oppressed
friends of liberty throughout the world
Let no Democrat despcnd, but, as OF yore.,
push OH to conquest,-tO the conquest OIL
whiggery, made bold by few temporary
successes in some Of the State elections;
The Democratic party ran triumph, ana
will taiumph; destiny has wilied that it shan

Dear Sri have Just been ia

you and others, took special exceptions to

Hence; especially myself, in consequence
fof the papers being supposed to be COIL
tsiderably tinctured with Abolitionism.
Admitting the papers to be ever SO ex-
~ceptionable, l can hardly conceive how it
was possible, that the good people of LOU
I~isiana could be induced to do us the gross
Injustice, to suppose that We were capable
of coalescing for thepurpose Of introducing
Abolitionism, under the guise Of Temper
ancc-especially, how such contemplate
m~eanncss could attach to Mr.. Naylor, who
is every where acknowledged to be an
honorable gentleman, and any thing but an
Abolitionist, l cannot divine.
Allow me sir, to say, that all the guilt of
THAT transaction should attach to me; as Mr.,
Naylor had no means Of knowing that | mad

more responsible for their distribution than
yourself or any other individual in the
house.
You say that | was highly irnprudent, and
of course would not have done so, if l had
known the determination of the people OF
Missouri, not to listen to any thing upon
the subject Of a~nti-slavery.
Perhaps it may be useless for me to ex.
plain: for people who could so easily mis-
conceive my motives, would hardly give mt
credit for candor, in any explanation | nigh
make. Still,II will venture to give you
statement of facts; which if cannot prove
to be true, cannot he proved to be false.
