THE CHURCH WAKING UP.

The Christian Witness and Church Advocate,
the heightened and conservative organ Of the
Episcopal Church in Massachusetts,, devotes
column and a half to the consideration of the
events Of last week in Boston. We copy the
closing sentence: ...
"It cannot be disguised that great change
is going on in public opinion, which will no
doubt soon manifest itself in form that will
allow all toact with effect, who desire the repeal
of this law 1t is by reason and not by revolu-
tion-by the ballot box, and not the cartridge
box-that we must seek for the remedy of the
evil. We hope that all laws will be executed,
while they are the laws of the land, not except
ing the Maine Law. But we do moreover most
earnestly hope, that no other attempt will be
made to arrest and return fugitive slaves in this
community, at least at present II might be
done ; it no doubt would be done but it would
be trihing with volcano"

before there can be general fusion of senti-
ments, OR a cordial harmony in action, and the
practical question which so forcibly presents it
self is, what is the best way of producing the
desired unionl Ell
The Free Democracy, and such Of the Whigs
as have conversed with, are favorably disposed
to Mass Convention in July, and would pre-
fer that the meeting of the goth inst, be adj
journed to that time, where if after honestly
trying to " conquer our prejudices, we should
fail of agreeing on declaration Of sentiments
by which we could all abide, we could peaceably
separate, and each adopt such course OF pro-
ceeding as to them should seem wisest and best.
There are, at the present time, many indica-
tions OF plogress, which ought not only to en-
courage those of US who have been in the har-
ness these many years, but stimulate us to make
further sacrifice of feeling, Unnecessary if har-
mony among the opponents of Presidential die
tation and Slavery aggression, can thereby be
produced. Among these we would place first
and foremost the fact that the great majority Of
the clergy are coming up nohly to the work Of
redemption and no longer remain as dumb dogs
but as faithful watchmen upon the walls Of
Zion, give the trumpeta distinct and certain
sound, warning the people thereby of impending
danger. The Wing press, also, is taking q
more noble and elevated stand, some even SC
candid to confess their former errors and thcil
abuse of us, virtually confessing that we have
always been right, and they wrong, and for THU
| am disposed to forgive them all their abuse o
us and our principles. Why they and thu
clergy have not taken this course before, is fo
them, and not US, to see to; if they will b,
faithful in the future, we will let bygones pass
The politicians are also trembling in their shoes
at the change Of public sentiment, and are evi
IDENTIFY scanning the political horizon, to discove
which way the wind is likely to blow hereafter
and will trim their sails accordingly.
Yours, WINDHAM.

the peace of the country and an insult to the
patriotic feelings of all true Americans.
Resolved, That the Democracy Of Vermont,
believing that our free Constitution sanctions no
prescription on account Of birth, openly and EN-
phatically condemn any organization, secret or
otherwise that would aim to deprive any citl-
gen. native or adopted, Of his civil, political or
religious liberty, %
Resolped. That the recent abandonment ny
the Wing Convention at Rutland of their for
+ mer party issues, and the adoption of section
al one instead, proves their utter want OF con-
fdence in the distinctive principles of their par
ty, their love of Office at any expense OF consls-
tency. and their ong-concealed but openly pro-
claimed hostility to the Constitution and the
Union, and ought to receive the emphatic and
indignant condemnation of eAery Vermonter,
whose love for his country is not bounded by
State linas and sectional success.
Rasolued, That it i'll becomes the Wings oil
Vermont to prate about the sanctity of compro-
misses or the treachery of those who take part In
their repeal when their own party history,
both past and present, shows that there never
has been compromise a; they did not themselves
revile and spit upon, whether of Congress or OF
the Constitution.
The second resolution, which everybody will
understand to be very adroitly- drawn AMI SUI
gar-coated endorsal of the Ne braska billme
with fierce opposition and as much softened
down and sof-sa,Odered as it was by the same
sophistical phrascology as the apologists of that
measure these days adopt in parrying opposition
to it among the outraged people, and as much
as objections were dssarmed by disclaiming ieal-
ty to the measure to be a party test--as skilful-
ly as all this had been provided for, the resolu-
ton could not. and, we are bold to say, did not
command majority of the Convention. The
vote was taken by rising, and, if our eyes did
not strangely deceive US, not over thirty out of
the one hundred and odd delegates rose. 1t is
true. but few rose in the negative, either be-
cause they saw it was use to do so, or because,
in the clamor for question ~ "question !"
. which drowned the voices of several attempting
: to speak in opposition, they did not understand
) any call was made for the negative. And with
every disposition to do justice, we must say that
the resolution was most unfairly passed-or
, rather crammed down the threats of the great
majority of the Convention against their evident
will. y.... tuI
In regard to tho ticket, we have no structures
to offer. The nominees are gentlemen of char
: acter and standing, and we can only regret their
f misfortune to be placed on such platform, and
more especially SO as it is here understood that
all of them are opposed to the Nebraska bill.

hostile to the idea of giving up our party name,

the whole North may work together for the
overthrow of Slavery. They cite me to your
leader of last week, where you " stab both

keeping up the old difference, and thereby pre-
vent any union here at the North any further

WINDHAM COUNTY, June 10, 1854,
Mr.. THOMPSON Dear Sir,-The political
friends with whom have heretofore acted. wish
me to write few lines to you expressive of their
views touching the present crisis in our crusade
against the arrogance of the Slave Power. as
exhibited in the past and present aspect.
10 the doings of the Rutland Convention
there are, in our opinion, some we'll grounded
objections, as to the manner in which the SUBJ
Ject is presented to us. Feeling ourselves stand
ing on the basis of immutable truth, we dislike
that patronizing spirit, ostensibly, preferred to
us, and we neither see nor feel the necessity of
attaching ourselves to the rear of any hereto
fore existing political organization; but will
cheerlully act in concert with any class or body
OF men, (upon terms of equalty,) who will
give satisfactory evidence that they are determ-
eded hereafter to Systematically oppose the un-
warrantable strides of Southern despotism. We
think, also, that it was an i'll advised conclusion
in the Convention to lay upon the table the mo-
ton to adjourn, for the purpose of calling a
Mass Meeting of all the opponents of Slavery,
without distinction of party, at which we would
have all met as equals, without feeling subor-
dinate to any set or class. We wish, also, that
they had extended the borders of their Platform
SO us to have included within its circumference
the whole amount of the evils to be removed.
before We shall have done our whole duty to-
wards " securing to ourselves and our posterity
the blessings of liberty
But they perhaps have advanced as far as we
could nationally expect of them under the cir
cumstances, as they are evidently but lust emer-
ging from gross darkness into the lightof truth.
and are now standing about where We were eight
OF ten years ago, and as they have undoubtedly
commenced travelling in the right direction, we
may reasonably hope they will persevere unto
.he end. Attachment to party from long-in-
oaigeo habits, the bigotry of education, and the
pride OF opinion, are obstacles to DO overcome.
