MR. RoBixsoS-D -Dem Sir The citizens
Of Linesville aud vicinity, have been visited
ly Charles and Josephine Griiliug. They
have labored in behalf of the down-troddcn,
aud in return, | feel it my duty us citizen
OF the place, to give you some account oT
their steward. ship. speak from my own
observation, and rs friend of Humanity and
Equality. can safely say TINT the seed they
have sowi, has been sown upon good ground,
aud in due time, no doubt will yield an hun
dred fold. Like others, they had to encoun-
ter The opposition of the foolish aud the
wicked. For example, the editor of the
Conncaulvillc Wing Banner, gave notice in
The second No. of his paper, that "One
Mrs Griiling IN company with her hnsbandi
Mr.. Grtling, tied to her apron string, was
lcciuring ia that place upon the subject OF
Anti Slavery, Womans Rights, &c. Now
if we were in Mr.. Gritiing's place, we would
take Mrs. Grifling home aud introduce her
to the kitchen, nnd learn her to mind her
own business" Terrific. "A mighty man Of
sird,C.
God hath made of one blood, all nations
Of men tlut dwell upon the face of the earth,
aud he hath required Of us AT all times to do
Justice, love Mercy, and walk humbiy with
Him, if we do believe ilnt God did make
man in his own in,nge, and We, that there is
in this Christian country, 80 called, thou
sands Of proiessed christians that do buy
aud sell, aud traffic in the souls mud bodies
of men, en-, in the innge Of him whom they
profess to worship. Yes, in this the nine
teeu,h century, in this day aud age of pro-
Cression, in n land of Bibles and Hymn
books, aud in this hnasled land of freedom,
there are at this time, three nnd n half mill
ions of the images of God deprived of the
blesnings that he designed them to enjoy
Deprivet, Ivy whom? BY the Church, and
by professors of Christianity. by those who
profess TO have n spiritual knowledge of
God, by those who pretend TO have washed
their robes aud made them white in The
blood of the Lamb, aud 10y those that pre-
tend to he The followers of that meek aud
lowly Jesus, who had the spirit of Lamb,
and who hath said, unless ye have this spir-
il, We cannot he my Disciples. Can man
have ,hnt spirit of love, that spirit of gen
tlencss, forgiveness, iorbearnnce, meekness,
and finally have the spirit Of Christ and at
the same time trade and trufiic in the bones
and suews of men? Nay, verify. And
vet il is but the position of thousands of our
race, men who profess 10 he teachers oi the
people, aud followers of Christ. Then
say we have right, Just right 10 denounce
all those who are partakers OF this infamous
yillainy-lhe sum of all villainles. Almost
the entire body of the Church and Clergy
of this Country, are in Christian fellowship
with Slavery, that is with those who legal'ze
the system. They all stand upon the side
of the oppressor, and legalize his airocitiesi
they pass from the Communion Table to the
Ballot. Box, aud there deposite their votes
for the man who has robbed his neighhor's
Cradle, to fill the highest office in the gift
of the people.
Have the clergy done their duty as teach
ers of the people7 Have they not failed tc
declare the whole counsel Of God. We are
required to remember those that are il
bonds, as bound with them, and them tha
.uff.r adversely, as being ourselves in tie
body. Go too, now ye rich men, weep ant
howl for your uiseres that shall come upoi
YOU, your riches are corrupted aud YOU
earmen,a are moth enten, your gold ant
silver is cankered, and the rust of them shal
be a witness against you
When the Lord shull come to make VI
bis Jewels, when he shall come TO sit as I
,e6ner of fire and purifier of silver, theI
shall all those pro.slayery Churches an'
Clergy be weighed in the balances and loun'
