each other. Is it impossible to secede from
the established church of England Is ev-
cry Englishman necessarily a member of it
whether he be an Episcopalian or a Dissen-
ter! The idea is pre- posterous.
Our correspondent is inclined TO admit that
if Disunion doctrine were generally adopted
the slave would be freed from his chains but
the very idea Of such a result wrought ont by
such means throws him into a fever of appre-
hension, and he talks about "bloodshed, an
archy and ruin phrases which may be
found on every worn out stereotyped plate
of pro-slavery objections. But how is itnowi
When he has thought of the seventy thou
sand whom slavery annually murders, of the
three millions upon whom it continually
wars, Of the three hundred thousand families
it has but now broken up when he has
thought of the jrutalizing Of man, of the de-
grading Of Gods image, of the dethroning of
Jehovah, Of the debasing Of morals, of the
lighting of intellect, has it never occurred
to him that now there is bloodshed, now
there is anarchy, now there is confusion, now
there is ruin, and all because he and others
sustain a government whose power is on the
side of the oppressor and pledged to his sup
port? 1t poorly becomes those to predict
such results from Disunion measures, whose
political power is used to sustain a system
frlught with more terrible suffering to human
ity than any other that las ever cursed the
earth.
Our correspondent thinks the Disunionists
arrogate to themselves the credit of all the
anti-slavery labor that is performed. He GER
tainiy cannot be well informed upon this sub
ject, for they are always willing and anxious
to give honor to whom honor is due. Every
one who speaks an anti-slavery thought or
does am anti-slavery act, so far forth does SER
vice to the cause; but if his position be in
consistent, if he be supporter of this govern
ment, or a member Of a pro-slavery church,
he may thereby not only weaken the force of
his word or deed, but more than counterbal-
ance its influence. And so long as we be-
hold persons claiming to be abolitionists &C.
cnpying an inconsistent position we shall tell
them of it, even though it should be said We
are contending with as good or better friends
to the cause than ourselves.
We never hear a Liberty party man lamen-
ting over the discussions among abolitionists,
complaining because we make war upon his
and telling US how brethren should
dwell together in unity, than we feel TO re-
ply Thou that sayest an abolitionist should
not condemn his fellow professor in the faith.
dost thou condemn Wing and Democratic
abolitionists 7" When Liberty party works
in harmony with Wings and Democrats
its supporters cease their controversy
with the anti-slavery members Of those par
ties, we can listen to their suggestions in re-
Iation to our controversy with thom with
much more complacency.

Mexican War.
To THE FRIENDS OF Humanity:

10 THE FRIENDS OF HUMANITY:
Are you prepared to pay to Southern ty-
rants SIS, 900, 900 for the sole purpose of
carrying on an iniquitous war against unof-
Tending Mexico, that by this means they may
sustain the accused system of Slavery
drench our country with blood and obliterate
morality, christianity, and the dearest rights
OF man! Are you willing to pour out your
hearts blood, lay down your lives to aid
baby-stealers in their damning practices 3
Will you longer submit your necks to the
yoke Of oppression which American dema-
gogues may be pleased 10 place upon you!
Will you march out, armed and equipped at
the command Of your President, for the pur-
pose of extending the area Of Slavery! Will
you be called the tcaich dogs of Southern
plantations Whatrational man, what lover
OF his race will say yes? Is there any q
NO! every man says no, emphatically. But
why, then, support such a war? Why elect
men 10 Office who will make laws that will
call you forth into the battlefield of slavery,
there 10 fight for the heathenizing of your
race! Why pay those ministers who preach
the doctrine of him who has said ''do no
MURDER" and at the same time profane the
sanctuary by telling you war is right in self
defense, whatever the cause NAV be? Men
VIII appear to detest war-yes they will even
loathe it, as they would Satan, until thew ret
some war character up as a candidate for Of
hee' and then, for the sake of party, they sac
rlice all their moral feelings in sustaining
HIM, aud In eulogizing the actions Of their
brave army when called into service. Rut
society has become so corrupt, sel6shness
has crept into the nature of man, so that his
whole actions appear 10 hang upon it
Christian professors, too, will say, "we are
opposed to war; we bear a testimony against
it" and then take a bee line to the ballot
box and drop a ticket for a warrior to sit in
the presidential chair and hold the reins Of
government! Great testimony that!
Let us, then, be aroused to a%ctionl Let
us exert our whole influence TO do away this
great evil, and effect a change in society,"
Let us plead the doctrines of the crucifed
Lamb of God, in spite of the ratings and
revilings of a wicked world, remembering
the sayings "blessed are ye when men shall
revile you, and say all manner of evil against
you falsely for my sake ; and he that is faith
full unto the end shall be saved"
Yours, &C.,
b. l.. SHINN.

can freely endorse the whole with one OF
two exceptions. Prof. Cowles, Of Oberlin,
sent In a report on the same subject, which
seemed to astound all who heard it. He urr.
cd the Convention to take the ground Of the
Evangelical Alliance, Missionary Board, &c.
That is, TO make a distinction in favor of
those who hold slaves for TIER ~good-who
have been wrongly educated, &c. 1t was
with the other, laid on the table, and | left
before they were taken up. If Prof. Cowles
Is a true representative Of Oberlin, then is
Oborlin one with the whole horde of villains
who call themselves by the name of Christ
and apologize for man-stealing. I shall ever
look upon Henry Cowles, the editor Of the
Evangelist, as being a pro-slavery a~pologist,
unless he publicly rolracts the sentiments of
that report.
One fact of some Significance | would not
overlook. Atthe close of the reading of John
Keeps report on the churches, Edward Wade
rose in his usual manner and wanted to know
If the Convention was going TO end in smoke.
Whether they had nothing TO do but listen to
reports and speeches on abstract questions.-

%tionists,) had a license 10 attack and abuse
every body. lie said the PERSONS to whom
we are 10 look for support are in the churches
and parties, aud we have no commission TO
curse them. Sustain the paper ('American')
and cut capcrs after, if you want.
The American it was stated, had come
to a dead stand unless something was done
to sustain it. Five hundred or a thousand
dollars was necessary 10 place it on a firm
basis. 1t was proposed 10 unite the Liberty
Herald and Cleveland American, and make
a determined effort to sustain one paper on
the Reserve. Donations were taken on the
spot and quite a sum paid. | did not hear
how much, but enough to relieve the paper
from present difficulties | should think. All
seemed impressed with one great truth, viz:
That if something is not done, and done now,
The party is at an end. ] know that some of
he speakers labored hard 10 prove that. it was
n fact a progressive party-that it was daily
strength-that it would not be long
it had the ascendancy. But it seemed
work for them; they appeared to talk

vowals Of other leading speakers in the Con-

In reference 10 the diabolical system Of A.

tors 1.-THE peculiar institution,'') | would
say Whereas it hath not only been assert
ed, but has likewise been amply proved, that
the said system is "the sum Of all villanies:''
consequently it follows that all are monsters
ofiniquity, (whether clergy or laity,) who in
any measure contenance, sustain, or extend
it, either by a tacit disposition, by sophisli-
cal defamation, or by voting under and sup
porting the measures of a pro-slavery consti-
tuition. And that, Of course, unless in due
season they cease to do evil, and learn to do
well /; so as to reform, both in principle and
practice, they will ultimately "suddenly be
destroyed" (Rev. IS, 1, &c.,) "and that

The following correction in my commune
cation of the 18th ult., published in the Bu-
gle of the LIST inst, is respectfully solicited.
In the paragraph, 81 have since been inform
ed by Mr.. j. C. Brainerd the man &c.
1t should read thus: "Mr. ]. C. Brainerd
the man before spoken of, in Dea. Walter
Dickinson's store in this place, in the pres
ence of three or four witnesses, said that Mr..
Keller had previously told HIM (Brainerd) that
II In what then and there said in PALMYRA

county should decide the Natter"
You will see that the correction does ~,
alter the real character in the least of the man
Keller only mentioned this fact so that an
intelligent and impartial public could see
that Keller placed so low an estimate upon
his W christian character, as to even think
OF prosecuting a civil action for its redemp-
ton.

Is Saul also among the Prophets?


Stark Co.. has been such, That abolitionists
have been wont to pass it by, believing its
soil almost incapable Of cultivation. But
the following extract from a private letter,
recently received from II. II. Hatch, shows,
that even there, an important movement is
being made.
81 came to this place on Tuesday. Found
on arriving here, Daniel Amerman, Minister
of the Regular Baptist Church, with perhaps
twenty or thirty friends, holding a meeting
the purpose of organizing a new church,
which should have no connection with slave
ry.
Amerman has been for two years past the
Pastor Of the Regular Ba ptist Church in this
Place but has quite recently been converted
to Anti-Slavery by hearing the W%esleyans
preach, and has determined on disconnectinr
himself with every institution which sane
tons, jusiifes, or supports slavery. How
many of his church will 30 with him | cam
not tell, but should think quite a number. l
was invited to participate in the discussions
of their church meeting, and did so. Endea-
Aered to show them the nature of church or
ganization-that each member by joining a
church, disciplinary in its character, became
responsible for the known conduct Of every
other member. Showed them the various
ways by which one living in the midst of
men-thieves, as we do in this country, might
involve himself in the guilt of mau-stealing.
Tuesday and Wednesday evening | had
meetings in the Harness shop of Abram Am
erman, in this village. The meetings were
not large, but more interesting ores | seldom
attend.
