a commun.c ton as he sent us is suited to our
columns. lie appears to be exceedingly dis
suThcd by something that has been written by
one Of our correspondents in relation 70 the
church in his reishborhood. If he has any
thing 10 say in regard to that matter, his COM
muniraiion will be in place, bit the sketch Of
the private character Of Il private individual,
however inconsistent or mprcanary the man
may he, does not justify the church in her
pro-sla7ery position. A sect is responsible
To- the known ats of its individual members,
and when we advert to the wicked or dishon-
est course Of such. it is to illustrate the cor
ryption OF the body which t~olerates and en-
dorses their acts. The Comeouters arc not
a sect-each one is alone responsible for his
own %ariions, and however much we regret
their Inconsistencies we do not SOC how the
anti-slavery cause is TO be advanced bv a re-

sufficiently prominent to exert a controlling
influence upon those around him.
"MaNY SHALL RUN TO AND FRO. Tyo;yL-
EDGE SHALL De IYcRrAsED."-We see an cx-
emPIifcation of the result hera predicted in
the moral agitation which now rocks the
world. So long as thought is confined TO one
channel, and the o]pinions Of a certain class
pass current without examination, SO lonr
will true knowledge be weak and puny. But
thanks to the upward tendency Of the soul !;
men are beginning to shake off the spell of
ages; the authority Of great names are yield
ing to the authority Of great truths; ancient
systems Of philosophy and morality are found
unable to stand the test which the humble
and unIearned are applying; and tino-honor-
ed and hoary institutions are beginning 10
crumblo before the investigations. Knowl-
edge is being increased, the knowledge of
mans character, rights, duties, and destiny.

CHRISTIAN NoN-R3sIsTANCE IL AhL IT'S
IMPORTANT BGARING5, ~1LLUsTRATcn AND De-
TENDED, by Adm DAllou. j. Miller N.Kjm,
Philade5oLia, Publisher. From the cursory
examination we have given this prod %ucrion,
and from what we know of the ability Of the
author, we should Judge it 10 be an admira-
bic work to place in the hands of any one
who is willing to be convinced that its prac-
teal adoption is not only eXpedient and right,
but FIR safer than the law of force. In addi-
ton TO the arguments it contains in defense
Of Non-RcsiStance, the author has collected
n large number OF facts which beautifully
illustrates the application of the principle.
The work consists Of 2lO pages. Price
3-i cents. A few copies may be procured
of tho Editors of this paper.
