stn,ute book. aud he had no other ALTERNATIVE
tbnn to inculcate obedience to 1t, as Jaw
binding on the individual conscience ahu on
the untiou. Neither Mr.. Van Burens nor
MIR. Scwerds recent letters had convinced
him that he should take the attitude OF an
anarchist, aud say, Let society be overturn-
ed. and let the heavens fall, If my ideas OF
Justice are not carried out. The reverend
gentleman concluded by an allusion to the
Secretary of State, of whom he said this
country has never been more honestly serv-
ed than by The reproacled and tnSulted DANIEL
Websicr. (Great cheering.)
The Rev. Dr. Cox improved the same oc-
cason, to furnish us with the following choice
morses. One knows not which most to adj
mirc, their pueriIty, pedantry or in humanity.
We copy from the Independents:
"Georgo Thompson, NJ. p, | wish it was
NJ. T., aud that the country was empty of
him"
81 love this Society, a patriotic, consider
ate, and noselesS system of bcnovolence.-
May God bless its efforts"
"Somelime ago ] received letter from
dear friend, whose name love too well to
mention, saying that it was proposed to hnvc
the Evangelical Alliance meet in America,
it VIC would vote"
"Our country is at n crisis. And shall
he one at this crisis 10 disntegraie the union
of these thirty-two States? | would die
first"
"God has never told his church to COM
mnnd shareholders to give up their slaves
Why is this not done? When Christianity
commenced It's career, at the height of the
Rumun empire, two great evils were every
where present. IdOlatry aud Slavery. Now,
why such difference in Gods commands,
il there is not like difference in the evils
themselves? Yet Moses Stuart, for uphold
ing this distinction, is denounced"
"The spirit OF agitation is an Anti-Ameri-
can spirit of phiio3ophism which has no phi
losnphy in it," "Thcorles apart, there
seem two great sides, two grand standing
points upon this question. One of them is
acknowledgements, anti-nntional, internl-
nnble, intoerable agitation"
"h,usc men who never change, ought to
hegin.s by .learniHF, sASllaii kneu, that
the aphorisin came from below and not
above that the wrath of man workcth the
righteousness of God. These agitation-men
seem to feel as Elijah once dreamed that the
Spirit Of the Lord is in the whirlwind, the
storm aud the fire, and they make so much
noise that tue still small voice is overlooked"
"T'his abolition movement does more and
more harnl-UTes dcquiret eundo. Men are
penny wise, and-not pound, bur ten
thousand pounds foolish for they iasten a
thousand ielters where they send one fugi-
tive to Canada. And this is not all. look
upon the Methodist Church, bisected by this
ngitation upon the Baptist Church likewise
divided; and Il make no man but myself re-
sponsible for what say our Presbyterian
Church rent for the same reason. There
were other causes, am aware there were
faults on one side and on the other but the
great cause, the sine qua non was this slave
ry agitation, which frightened our Southern
members, aud made them do what they
would never otherwise have DONE"
