ness and decision. William Logan Fisher, who
has written so ably on the Sabbath question, is
very radical and advocates the congregational
form Of church order. Sarah Tyndale, from
Philadelphia, who Is 40 effectively engaged in
the Rosine institution, offered some very appro-
PIRATE remarks.
Our position in the West Is now beginning to
be understood. Chandler Darlington and j.
Miller McKim, presented their peculiar views
somewhat opposed to religious organization, yet
all in becoming and Christian manner.
think the Friends here will not leave their meet
ines but maintain their heresies in the church,
and If there Is any separation, those who stand
out against reform will have TO make Il them
seires. The Conference met again on First day
afternoon. In the morning we attended the re-
gular mcoting where Lucrctia Mott and others
spoke with freedom. These movements are
producing no little uncOsincss among the con-
servatives.
last Third day We attended the monthly
meeting at Marlboro, which was large and ex-
cited no incon siderable interest. Mother Dug
dale ministercd in her usually clear and forci-
bic manner. The business meeting was ono of
intense interest. 1t so occurred that when one
of the elders desired the meeting to be select,
he discovered two sable sons of Ethiopia pres
cnt, and becoming unduly excited, he added,

arose and said If there is any blame, let it
rest on me. One of them is q poor painting fu

here hoping to get him forwarded on his way
to Canada. did not think about the meeting
at all, in the case" The DIR. exhibited good
deal Of feeling, and Immediately left the meet
ing. l made condensed statement of the ini-
quitous proceedings of Indiana Yearly Meeting,
and our subsequent formation of a Yearly Meet
ing and its adoption of the congregational or
der, and our intention to maintain our rights in
Christian meekncss. When the sentiment of
tho meeting was takon there was evidently
large majority in favor of freedom
Simon Barnard then alluded to the conduct
of the meeting towards the poor siaue, and pro-
posed " that a committee should go out and
make an apology to him for the ru6ianly man
ner in which he had been treated by meeting
he had come into expecting to be in the midst
of his friends" The friend who had opposed
their sitting had retired on account of illness,
but came to the door and bcckoncd Simon out,
and informed him that he had just learned that
Slave catchers wcro near, and in pursuit of
slavcs lie hoped the men would escape
Simon had mentioned in the meeting that our
conduct might be the means of his being reta-
ken, and proposed subscription being entered
into to aid him, which, to the credit Of those
present was done at the close Of the meeting,
and somo of the ilbbcral ones helped in the
laudable undertaking.
A minute wns read from tho late Philadelphia
Yearly Meeting against all secret societies, which
led to serious inquiry, by William Barnard,
whether the Society of Friends are not sustain
ding to that remnant of hierarchy, called the
meeting of Ministers and Elders, where it is
well known our members are not allowed to sit;
neither does the meeting hold itself responsible,
or disposed to render reports of its proceedings
to the bodies whence it derives its power
Others thought even the Monthly Netting itself
was a secret conclavc, and had given evidence of
The fact that day. The whole subject was postpon-
cd until next meeting. A friend was present from
New York Monthly Meeting, who seemed sore
ly gricvcd with such great freedom Of debate.-
Simon Barnard duly informed him that he was
not surprised at his uncasincss, when it was re-
ported abroad that members Of that monthly
meeting rent out buildings for grog-shops, and
hold mortgages on southern plantations, and the
meeting passed it all over in silence. We are
not in the habit of doing business in that pay
here, and ] am not surprised at the friends con-
cern."
My impression is, that great deal of the in
fucnce of the Society Of Friends will 60 against
the reformations of the Nineteenth Century, yet
there are 1000 in its Israel who will not bow to
the Baal of Sect. but will progress into a radi-
cal recognition of religious association that is
based in continual growth, and will regard learn
ing to live as the true way to be prepared for
the more beautiful life beyond the grave.
A few days since, VIC attended the funeral of
the beloved James Fulton, Jr. Only two weeks
previously he greeted us with oil the warmth
of his noble nature, and the day he was buried
was the time we had contemplated making
delightful visit to him and his lovely wife. He
fell in the midst of his days--the victim of yio-

friends. In public communication at Kcnnett
Square, alluded to his premature death-whcn
a minister present said, in substance, 1--WE
