The Methodist Fast in L~CeSbuFgh.

NV ilGHuS W Nutli SUI CulNGl-
ed at their usual place of worship on the Ord
inst, TO observe the proclamation made by
General Taylor, for a day Of fasting, humilia-
ton and prayer. And they came from differ
ent parts Of the country, both male and fe-
male to mingle their voices in opposition to
the highland in favor Of carrying out the
hellish designs recommended by the man
that has for years carried the swcrd by his
side, seeking his brothers. blood, and who
has been, and still is, engaged in robbing
trundIe-beds and cradles, and tearing from
$50 human beings their Goj-giyen, inaliena-
BILE rights. After singing hymns, and ma
king prayers, the Reverend Mr.. Bray, their
circuit Preacher, took his text from Jonah,
3 /: 5, and labored hard in his Introductory
remarks to prove that the fast proposed by
the King Of NIneveh, was the same MS the
one recommended by tic President. We
think our friend b.. is mistaken; for in my
opinion there is a great contrast existing De.
tween the Two. What WAS the Kings fastl
Was II to 60 through certain forms and GER
emonies! A response comes up from every
intelligent reader, No! The king called W.
on them (the Ninevites) "to turn from the
evil Of their ways, and from the violence
that is in their hands" This lhey did. and
the cause of Humanity triumDhed. What
did General Taylor do? Did he call unon
the People to DO as the Nineviles were re-
commended to do! Not he! He still re-

o%sition, attempted to show the blessinrs we
enjoy as a nation-and seemed to lament, a
little, that these rights were confined to the
whites alone. Wonder If our friend B. doesn't
