MR. EDIToR:-Dear Sir, 1t may interest some
of your eaders to learn TINT the Congregational
church i'll Rootstcwn have recently cut loose from
Presbytery. The vote for withdrawal was near.
ly unal.irno1s; Il ere being but three dissenting
voices. The Committee for drafting resolutions
of withdrawal (h;therto moderate men) either chose
or else dlundered into the use of one of the most
cutting, obnoxious, yet thruthful charges ever full
minated against the Church by the verie=t high
priest of Comeouterism rot excepting Parker Pills

qualification, as cao'e was not acrihen in the bill,
but it was declared hy one Of the Committee to he
his desire or intention that the expression, "as
WHOLE" sllouId-be included or implied nererthe-
less that with some other strong reasoning passed
without written amendment so that, in one rnr-
ticuar we are now up fair, and square. with the
Comeouters. Or according to the record, little
ahead of them. What can Mey have to say now
Suc!; asserting or indorsing OF truth, and the cor
responding action Accompanying 1t, cannot fail OF
cheering the hearts of tllose who have labor ed

Another good eGS0n WHICH Tile Co;nm!ttce as

Heaven grant that the apparent sincerity with

by the future course of our hitherto diatory church.
OF what earthly use is the combined power of n

sense. That seemed to be the aim and object of
Christ Why not then of Christians Alas, it is
being found our TO the great scandal OF our religion
or Church, that there is another use than the one
above Indicated for church power and that we may
be represented by the words "Bulwark of oppres-

seen, and corrected even by single church, nay,
by single soul. God grant TINT Christians every

Temperance B.ll--Doc,. Bigcfovv.


By reference to Legislative proceedings, it. will
be seen that the Temperance Bill is lost in the
House. 1t seems that 40 votes were necessary tn
pass the Bill-42 recorded in its favor Q
votes, we learn by private letters, were lost BIZ
accident, rs the of friends of the Bill ere
vacant-so that, had all been present-46 votes
would have been recorded in its favor. An en-
couragng show of strength But the Bin has its
uuietus for this session-no Temperance Bill can
be got through.
Nevertheless there is encouragement for the
friends of Temperance TO work The substan-
tal features of the Maine Liquor Law, will yet re-
ceiye the sanction of IN Ohio Legislature.
Much gratified we, to find the vote Of the
Representative of Portage County, recorded in
favor of the Bill. Aud still more peased are we
to learn as we do by private advices, that Doct'
Bigelow has been true, stauuch, faithful advo-
cate of the Bill-none more SO.
1t gives us pleasure to say, that Doct. B. has ap-
proved himself generally as a worthy and pains
taking Representative, and the character of his in
telligent constituency has suffered nothing in his
hands.
1t gives US pleasure to be able to bear this hon.
orabie testimony in behalf of gentlemen not o
our own particular. political fod-yet harHonizina
