those who are striving after purity should
Withdraw from fellowship with sinners. This

CLING TO THE UNioN.-The editor of the
Cleveland Plain Dealer" received the fol-
lowing letter from a southern subscriber TO
his campaign paper:
Cumming, Ca, Nou. ., 1913.
J. ". GrGy-DEAR Sir: AS you appear

supervision, called the 6 Campaign Deaer,"

did not take five thousand copies of it. 1t
would have carried the State Of Georgia by
twenty thousand votes for Taylor.
You profess TO be cooperating with the
democrats south. to elect a president. You
do apparently labor together; but | can as
sure you that if you will come 10 Georgia and
make yourself known, il you do not receive
a present of ttoo gallons Of T.9R and IA boil
ster Of FEATHERS it will be owing to the
stinginess of your wing and not your demo-
cratic friends.
You northern people uho suppose that the
south will waste two-thirds OF the blood and
half the treasure required 10 acquire terrific
ry, and then be refused tie liberty Of selling
upon that territory with hetrproperty [slaves]

submit to that, Gen. Cass must break a sword
over our heads instead Of a stump.
SAMUEL G. ELAN, (Whig.)
We subscribe TO the foregoing letter as far
as the tar and feathers are concerned.

You are at liberty to publish the above,
names and all in full.
The anti-slavery of the plain Dealer
was not by any means so ultra as that which
passes for abolition doctrine with those who
are acquainted with the article. 1t was such
anii-slavery as is tolerated in the Democrat
ic party, which is saying but little for its
strength and yet the South could not bear
it-TAR AND FEATHERS was its response,
and it was doubtless sincere in the proffer
of its gifts made by its Wing and Democrat
ic defenders.
And yet, to suggest the impolicy or utter
uselessness Of a governmental union with such
men as the writers Of the foregoing letter, is
declared unpatriotic, and even denounced as
reasonable. There is a great deal Of the
spaniel in the North, and the South knows
it; and the kicks and cuffs the latter be-
slows upon bel, seem to produce no other eff
feet than TO make her crawl TO the feet of her
master and lick them in abjectness of spir-
it.
A WORD ABOUT OBERLIN.-A correspon-
dent writing from this place, says:
"Oberlin is a strange mixture of a~nti-sla-
very and slavery, Of liberty and despotism .
They will be what they can to educate poor
colored people, in the depth Of their degra-
dation, and raise them on a level with the
whites, and place them in their own families
on perfect equality and the next moment
will vote TO elevate a man TO the presidency
who is their bitterest enemy They preach
in favor of religious liberty, and turn out stu
dents from the Institution for propagating
sentiments different from their own. We
recently had an example of the latter. A
young Hicksite Friend of good character and
excellent talents was dismissed for no other
