bunker Inconsistency.

The Reverend Editors of the Boston Traveller nave
spice of uasgery in their composition "hlch 'ney
cannot avoid letting out and then or instance
in the Traveller of Wednesday, they copy approvngy
an abusive article upon George Thompson's visit to
America from that incarnation of Eu opean hunkerism
the London Times, which article is based upon the
assumption that the citizens of our country have nc
right to agitate reormaory measures IN another, and
then in close uxtaposton it places the address OF the
Boston Young Mems Association for the Euangehzaten
Of Eay; an association which is got por the express
purpose of agfatg reforms in foreign land, and over
turning the institutions which have received the san
ton of centuries.
We copy from the Address of the Young Mems So
ciety above referred, few paragraphs which shew
The revolutionary tendency Of its plans and operations
The motives which iave induced us to take this
STEP are-1st. That sympathy which every citizen OF
4 free Republic must feel with such Of heir fellow crea
lures as are struggling obtain blessings similar to those
fick ,re eaiov; together with admiration OF the
Italians for their perseverance IN righteous cause ana
cur adherence of the cruel acts OF Their oppressors'
The method proposed by our Society to bring about
the desirable result is, to furnish the means OF nunda-
ting the entire surface of Italy with small fly sheets, OF
a moral and religious tendency.
We warmly invite our Iellow-countrymen, oil all De-
onaations to rally round the broad principle OF L6e-
NJ of Conscience and to or similar Societies in their
respective cities and towns that we may all cooperate
in this great and sacred cause.
In accordance with the above appeal the young men
of the Evangelical Societies of Boston, held meeting
in the Vestry of the Bowdoin Square Church, the
evening of November II, 1850, consider the propr-
ETY. of forming an association, having for its object
The Evangelization of Italy," and came to the con-
cluson that such Society ought to be formed, and
forthwith elected its officers for the year.
We have no faux to find with their action, not a
word. II their object is tprolesses to be on the face
oft, it was good one and we bid them God speed
II they hoped that blessings smaller those which they
enjoyed would be bestowed through the agency oil their
society upon their Struggling fellow creatures in ot-
er ands, it good OF theirs to set about the
fuhment Of such hopes But do protest against the
canting hypocrisy of the Traveller and large portion
of the religious press, which looks at every matter OF
this kind with partial complacency, when perperated
by ourselves upon foreign land but which visits with
roproof and censure, the of other lands, whose
sympathies for their ''ieow creatures struggling OBJ
tain blessings which they enjoy" prompts them to say
word upon soil against that giant fthe nation
which makes its boosted professions of liberty and toll

institution among We think it is poor rule tina
will not work both ways, and can see no consistency il
the conduct of those editors who decy George Thomp
son as foreign nteroper, while the same time the,
are clamorous for the funds with which to make foreign
