makes it credible that the Rev. Alex. Campbell
knew whereof he affirmed, when he said, referring
TO the \. =. movement, that "it is the duty OF the
Ministry to convert the world and edify
the church, and not to reform the word or IT'S
worldly institutions; ~ and it is because their prac-
ticc is in accordance with this sentiment, thlt wo
r|epudiate them and the churches under their CON
troll, and call uron the world to do for humanity'S
sake that which, if true to their religious profess
ions, they would lie doing for Gods sake.

Whereas, We regard the population Of tho
Western States MS better prepared than those OF
any other section Of our country 10 adopt the prin-
ciplos by the PRONUNCIATION Of which slavery is to
be oyerthrown, and believe that this soil is the
ground upon which must ultimately be decided the
question Of human freedom, therefore

we h'vc received from the A. A.. $. Society, wo
would urge it to consider the ~propriety of greatly
increasing the amount Of its labors in the West, of
d0vUting It's main energies to the dissemination of
A.. s. doctrines here, feeling assured that in no

that Il direct collision between the Federal and the
State Courts, upon ibis Issue, would prove the in

Imprisonment which had just been virtually adj
judged to be illegal, has, in our opinion, faltered
and gone backward betrayed an unworthy weak
ness and timility proved itself not equal to the
crisis, or fit for the post it occupies forfeited tho
respect and admiration which its bold decision had
deserved and won from all lovers of liberty and
right, and sadly disappointed, not only our reason
able hopes, hut, as we believe, the expectations and
wishes Of the people of Wisconsin, ready and eager
to sustain their Judiciary in upholding the honor
Of the State and the rights of its citizens.

chat cannot be legal process which processes to DO
based on Il law having really no existence, then tho
process Of the Federal Court had not attached, and
the agents in the arrest acted without either legal
authority or official character.
