JUDGE BRoNsoN's SECOND LETTER TO E. c.
DELAVAN.
NEW York, October 4, 1854
DEAR SIR Your letter of the 18th ultmo in answer to
what said agans, the expediency of prohbitory liquor
law, duly received. Although you virtually admit

purfyng the church from error and of doing it quickly =
but the burning of heretcs did the purpose
Experience proves hei there is such thing being in too
much haste COCA cause.
