FRIENDS EDrroRs -
In our last report is an %aIlusion to Rev.
Jesse Mcbride of the Wesleyan Church.
There are facts in regard to this individual
which, for the causes sake, | think ought to
be made public.
Last Summer, friend Preston and myself
took his circuit in our tour. lie had before
been represented 10 me by persons in whom
| had great confidence, as a very liberal and
high-minded man; and very reformatory
withal in his feelings. Thinking the sause
would be benefited by securing his co-opc-
ration in getting up meetings, we sought it,
and were not denied. He received us very
cordially, and gave US all the aid in his pow
er. BY his presence and thrilling remarks
in several of our meetings, he cheered US on
in our very arduous work. He eulogized
our free phJorm," exhored the people to
give US a candid hearing, and assured them
that the terms on which we sought an audi
ence were so liberal that no injury could re-
suit if they were complied with. And in no
instance did he dissent from any position we
took, attempt TO show a f%allacy in our argu-
ments, or contradict a fact we brought for
ward. Everything he said and did was Of
the most encouraging nature. More than
once he openly declared in our meetings thai
he should leave the church just so soon as
he was convinced that remaining in it, pla,
ced him in a sinful position. All this wa,
done openly and publicly.
We had not been long with him before h,
assured us that he was convinced we wer,
in the right-that he could not vote and tina
he should leave the church. There was
mutual agreement between MS, also, that
should write to the Corresponding Secretar,
for the purpose Of paving the way to his Ia
king the field as an Agent of our Society, il
case his services should be needed. Thu
matters stood when we left him. OF cours
we were very much encouraged. The fac
that We had convinced a man SO high in III,
confidence Of his church, and of, apparently
so well deserved reputation for honesty an,
intelligence, was very cheering. | waite,
with great interest the time when | shoult
hear Of his public withdrawal FROM lh

TO those Owing Pledges.

There is on the books of the Western So
ciety a list of pledges made since the first of
June last amounting to about one thousand
dollars.
The Executive Committee is greatly in
need Of funds. Will not those owing pledg-
es forward them! If those who have pledg-
ed considerable sums, cannot at present con-
veniently pay the whole amount, they will
please forward a part, and thus relieve the
Committee from its present necessities.

ligion of our country is devoid of humanity.
1t deals in abstract speculations and endless
genealogies, and not in great moral princi-
pies. The Office of its ministers is to sttend
TO rites and ceremonies, and to govern and
dictate the faith of their hearers; aud not to
stem the strong current Of the popular sins
OF the nation. SO long as war and slavery
are sheltered in the temples and sanctifed at
the affairs, the religion of the nation will be
spurious, corrupt, hypocritieal; the govern
ment will continue to devour the nation, and
we shall be ruled by military despots and
Shareholders.
Yours for the Redemption of our coun-
try.

DEAR FRIENDS =
had been told by some of the citizens of
Guilford that an Anti-slavery Meeting could
not be held there without a mob and | had
also been told that one held by A. Baer had
been broken up by an outrageous mob of Irish,
influenced by some Of the gentlemen of pro
perty and standing" On the Goth ult., my
wife and | went to fill an appointment at that
place, and although we found efforts by those
connected with the pro-slavery organizations
OF this land, TO prevent our meetings being
attended, and an effort TO crowd out the ap-
tended, and our lectures, although of a radi-
cal character, were listened to with unusual
attention, and without any interruption, ex-
cept by a Methodist class-leader, who for half
or three quarters of an hour, manifested some
warmth in opposing us; but he gradually
subsidized into calmness and listened with at
tention. From the desire manifested to read
anti-slayery books and papers, | think Gull.
ford may yet do something for the bleeding
slave.
On the 9th, we were at Washingtonville,
and the opposition manifested there was by a
Presbyterian, Eastep, who got warm and tried
to prevent an interest in the subject, ana also
to prevent any more meetings in Washington
vile.
So it is with the high professors. Here it
is we find the opposition and the mobs. Those
who make the longest prayers and sing the
loudest hymns, and are the greatest d. DIS,
are the ones that ne find singing lullaby's to
the conscience of this nation, and crushing,
so far as they can do it, the labors of those
who are willing TO speak for those not having
the power TO speak for themselves. They
profess so much lore for God whom they have
not seen, that they fail to perceive the golden
relation of lore that should bind them to their
Brother who is sighiug under the ecclesiasti-
tai and political oppression of our country.

church, and the consequent " panic ~ whlch
would seize sec,arians.
Bu, in this | was doomed to disappoint-
ment; though the consistency and honesty
Of Mr.. Mcbride, one would suppose, was
leJged TO the CONTRARY. He, however, may
think otherwise /; and he should he left by
me TO the undisturbed enjoy men, of that con-
vlction were il not for the bigoted and very
Dyiesily course he has since pursued. In
deed | will leave this matter of consistency
and honesty to the opinions of the public.
wish to call attention to the apology Of
Mr.. Mcbride for turning his back upon your
Agents. And what is itl Why, he heard
Mr.. Walker. in an address to some young
men at Leesburgh, advance very herretical
-infdel even-sentiments. Also he heard
a man say he had heard of Mr.. Walkers in
trsducing other than anti.slavery sentiments
at our meeting in Alexandria. This is the
accusation on account of which, so far as
McB. can do it, the ears of the people are to
be closed against the voice of the accredited
Agents Of the A~n,i-Slavery Society of the
West. Look at IT, The meeting at Lees
burgh was not anli-slavery, nor did it pre-
tend to be. OF course the speaker was at
liberty To say what he pleased of of the an
ti-slavery platform. Under the circumstan-
stgnces Mr.. Walker was responsible only 10
himself. Nor did he violate any obligations
as an anli-slavery agent; for the Society is
not the tyrannical organization it would be
did it prohibit its agents from expressing
their views on other than anti-slayery SUBJ
iects.
Yet so base is public sentiment that il an
agent expresses himself not in accordance
with the popular voice, the Society is imme-
diately heralded over the land as unworthy
of public confidence. Why! Because its
agents are not orthodox in faith. As though
it were the keeper of its agents consciences.
Nothing can be more contemptibly vile and
mean. Wicked, however, as this is, Mr..
McB., from whom humanity had reason to
hope so much, lends himself to it. Such
conduct | will refuse TO name, lest | should
be severe.
But this is not the only way the prejudice
of community is excited. Falsehood must
be manufactured out Of whole cloth-no
cloth even. AS in the Alexandria affair,
hearsay must be made the ground of opposi-
ton. ! pronounce the whole report a wick
ed fabrication. Nothing can be more unjust
than TO charge friend Walker with dragging
exIraneous topics upon the anti-slavcry plat
form. IL he has done so it has not been in
my hearing.
The pitiably mean position in which Mr..
Mob. has placed himself shows the effect,
it seems to me, Of preferring sect to princi.
pie and humanity.
1t ought to be noticed that in the most
pro-slavery places where we have been we
have met with no so determined opposition
as in the strong hold of Wesleyanism, Or
ange. Whittier are we tendingl
Yours for humanity and against sect.

The Chicago (IIlinois) Citizen, in an ar
ticle on the colored population, thus speaks
I'VE have made some inquiries into the
condition of the colored people in this city.
There are probably 300 colored inhabitants
here. Many of them are persons of proper
ty-none of them are in the lowest stages Of
poverty-and the day is yet to com when
any person has seen a colored person beg
ging from door to door, which cannot be
said Of the people of any other origin, resi-
ding here. In moral character they stand on
a par with any other class OF our ciiizens.'
