practice in some of the religious assem-

ligious point of view of the institution of
negro slavery as itnow exists in theslaye-
holding States, and making it the pretext
for vituperation and abuse of Shareholders,

public mind, destructive to true religion,
good morals, and love and 'veneration
for the Union of the States; aud we re-
commend to the people in every county
in this State to use every effort in their

judicial to our rights and the safety of our

their sentiments to themselves, or leave
to other parts where the constitution and
laws suit them better.

presses or individuals in our midst who
advocate Freesoil or Aboltionsentiments
our friends, but as the worst of enemies

denounce our enemies in their unlawful
movement against our institutions.
