Mrs. Amy KELLEY FOSTER wished to ask Gen.
Wilson one question. What security has any one,
said Mrs. f., in giving ilis vote to the Free Soil
party, that we shall not be helping the worst pro-
slavery men into Office? Heretofore we have seen
the Free Soil party coalescing with the Democratic
party, eccting George s. Boutwell,, timid dough-
face to the Governors chair and helping TO place
Caleb Gushing, () the vilest pro-slavcry man any
where 10 be found, on the Supreme Judicial Bench
Of the State. Who can assure us that we shall
not, by and by see them putting that wreched tool
of slavery, Benjamin 7. llalct, into ofico2 Mrs.
+. said she asked these questions in good faith, and
not from any wish to cayil.
Rev. Mr.. CRANDALI, OF New Jerscy.-lle ack-
nowledged that the professcd ministers of religion
in the land had been crminally neglectful of their
duty to the anti-slavery cause; but, he said, the

Rev. CALEB SrETsoN cloquently advocated the
idea, that there never can exist any compromise
between freedom and slaycry,-between the right
and the wrong. may compromise with a man
=, who demands of me my bread and butter-giying
him the butter and keeping the bread myself.
But between things which are radically opposite
to each other, there be no compromise. In
such an attempt the right perishcs, the wrong re.
mains; freedom will disappear, and slavery. and
oppression reign triumphant. lie emphatlcally
declared his conviction that the time had come
when we should adopt n system of entire. ereo"-
muaicdtion, and refuse all connection and inter
course with the STAKEHOLDER and kidnapper, with
the yiolutors OF oahs and the breakers of promis-
es lie now spoke Of social and political czcom-

church, he feared it useless to speak of that
he feared that al honest men would soon turn
round and excommunicate the church.
