this world, ngninst spiritual wickedness 10
high places" The crowded audience re-
ceiyed the truth he uttered, in good, and we
trust in honest hearts. In the afternoon OF
the same day, he made few remarks in tue
school house near where we live, where
some of the converts to Baptism, who
were converted to that faith during tho late
six weeks revival, spent mostly in worship
ping their new Church, with her high stee-
pie, which WINS built strictly for the promul-
cation of sectarian dogmas, under the direc-
ton Of a lortlly priest, who on the sublecI
of slavery, is more dumb than was Baalam's
Ass, to lis sense of right. Some Of those
converts veniured in opposition to tho in
structons Of their leaders, to stop at the
outside of tho house, to listen to what wns
being said within, and then in accordance
with their revival teachings, left, stating false
things Of what had been said. Such occur
ances however, we trust are not very COM
mon.
Our friend Seby visited us again last Sab
bath, and gave us six lectures, which we
considered Of great value to enquiring minds.
On Wednesday following, he had n short
interview with Baptist Preacher, ut our
house, by the name Of Chconey. lie ap-
pears TO be the most thorough going anti-
slavery Baptist Preacher ever saw. They
ngreed in many important matters. Our
friend Chenney delivered an address on
Thursday evening, after the above mention
ell interview with Selby, in the Baptist
Church in this place, where he spoke with
great boldness on the subject of temperance
and slavery, in which he denounced the
Church in all her pro-slavery actions, both
morally and politically, stating that the
Church had become in mnny respects the
mother of infdelity. The Language OF the
speaker, seemed to nstonnd the old priest,
nbove alluded to, who sat with mouth open
aud eyes glaring as it were, in wonder and
surprise, TO hear such dcnuuciatory remarks
from the sacred desk. On being called on
to pronounce the parting benediclion, i
seemed to be hard struggle, for il came IN
short and feeble accents. We hope it viii
do him good. it.doth the upright in hear5.
The sentiments of our community seem to
he fast mendng. The spirit of truth is
beginning to prevail in our midst, sectarian-
ism begins to tremble nj its foundation, aud
we believe is destined TO be numbered among
the things that were aud are not. In all our
public meetings, we see resolutions passed
aud principles adopted, or sentiments i'd
vanced in favor of the higher law, aud dis
coun,cnuncing the low and dustardIy prin-
ciples of the fugitive slave law, and the ac-
cursed npologizers for slavery. So we see
the principles of anii-slayery and general
reform, nre becoming the oil important sub
ject of these latter days May the Lord
hasten the happy day to favor Zion, when
the mountain of slavery shall be dug down,
and the valley of the poor and the oppressed
and down-,rodden, shall be exalted, and
raised up to the common level Of humanity,
and the rough ways of this life shall all be
made smooth, then shall one law govern all
nations, and that law shall he the law Of
universal love. We shall thea love the Lord
our God with all our hearts, aud our neigh
bors us ourselves.
