| have been identical with that of the presbytcry
! or the church--or was it identical with that Of
the Wesleyan Church, because the Rev. Mcssrs
ChafFin and Worth, came in the fullness OF their
souls, TO labor for anti-slavcry; Did Mr.. Gar
rison, by laboring there, give countenance to
Mr.. Boynton's orthodoxy If so, why not
cooperate with the iridels on every occasion,
and thus compel them in spite of themselves,
to give their countenance in favor of orthodoxy
and the Bible. But nobody knows better than
the Editor Of the Press, that this Is oil mere
pretencc. That they como upon the anti-sla-
very platform only to sustain anti slavery prin-
ciplss. And that he who will not come upon
that platform for that object, to cooperate with
earnest true workers in that cause, deserves to
have all his professions of ant-slavery stigma
iized as sheer hypocrisy. SO tho world will
judgc,nnd the knowledge of it may well occasion
disquiot to those who want an anti-slavery
reputation, bu: have too little principle or cour-
age to do an 0nti.slovery work. The Editor
may console himself, as he docs, by the consid-
Grafton that his paper is being strengthened by
his ro-slavery course. We don't wonder at il.
We should think all slavcdom, north and south,
ought to subscribe for the Christian Press at
once, for We have seen no effort of late, that
cqualcd this in inscriptions misrcprcscn alton,
or in cool, deliberate purpose TO bctroy the an
ti-slavery cause, and divide and rout tie forces
Of freedom, both moral and political.
A great body of the truc-hearcd political
anti.slavcry men Of Ohio are connected with
the Free Church movement, and Mr.. Doynton,
with his Press, stands Mt tho head of this
movement and now, with ghostly, but cautiou'
gravity, he advises them to withhold all co. OPP
Grafton from anii-slaycry organizations, eren
their rotcs from tic free soU party, II tho lead
ing influences Of that party will continue to
recommend the going to Anti Slavery me ctings
! with uhidcs. Perhaps that is the way he pro.
poses to punish Samuel Lewis Tor differing with
him in attending the Cincinnati Convention
, We'll, whether Mr.. Boynton votes for Mr.. levi:
, for Governor or not, We npprchcnd Mr.. Lewis
has had in his own heart, an abundant reward
for his noble, liberal, and truly anti ti.slavery
co. operation in that Convention, to say nothing
! of It's unmcasurcd influence upon the genera
cause Of freedom.
But says the Press "Hsrc is an orSdniseS
noreBicHt against the D6Ie and the cross Of Chris
and the question is whether the Joio,rers Of Je'
sus shall withhold rcbuke, nay moro, extend
, the right hand Of fellowship to this banded OPP
position TO crdngelicdi religion ia order 10 'rin IL
rotes 2" Nothing can be moro false than this
, statement. No such quc,tons have ever been
raised by Free Soilcrs or even Garrisonans.-
: Mr.. Boynton may rebukc such "organizcd
movemrnts'' to his hearts coutant, and nobody
will object to it. But many anti-slavcry men
will rejoice thcrcat, who would at the same time
, cooperate with the rcJukcd and the rcbukci
for snti.slavcry work.
The object of the above paragraph is mos
insidiously to convey the impression that thu
, anti. slavery organization is an organization
against the Bible and the cross OF Christ,
and thus pcrs uadc such anti slavery men a
honestly vcncrate tho Bible and worship IN
Cross, to abandon the anti-slavcry movcmcn
q, as at war Herewith. lie may thus for a tim

a cause is one of quite inferior moment il
j.. the estimation of tho l. litor of the Press an,
. to estimate his labors accordingly.
Mr.. Boynton says lac would have co.opcratc
