QUAKER DOCUMENT,

We have received from some unknown quarter q
neatly printed copy Of Address 10 Professors o
Christianity in the United States" issued by the r--
gious society of Friends ut New York. 1t s sort o
abolition sermon after the style Of n circular. re-
quest is prefixed slip of red paper that Editors o.
newspapers will notice and publish. As to publishing
we have no room for any such llummcry. As TO not
cling, we are DOW about it. The production is rather
sle weakest specimen of baldcrdash we have evel
seen made up Of narrow interpretations of isolated
passages of Scripture, a showing up of certain we'll
known expression in the Declaration Of Independence
and few meaningless remarks designed to be general
The spirit however, which seems to have dictated the
whole affair, is neither nor unclartable, nl
though piliably mistaken.
The Quakers are perhaps very good sort OF people
in their way We have ever thought their chief re-
commendation was that they knew how to mind their
own business and let others alone. In departing from
this good rule they evince great Stiffness and run the
risk of losing the best mt Of their sect. "Tlcc

with all its insidiousness and earfulness, the Yellow
fever has been painted in darker colors than naturally
belong to it" that one of the distinctive marks Of
this disease is that the patient never feels himself to
be dangerously sick"-and, again, ct that peculiar
narcotic influence at once confusing and stimulating
spreads through oil the nervous system" The nights
are spoken of as being watchful and dreamy, where
as laybreak brings refreshing GOODNESS to the brow
