In commenting upon tho above proceedings The
Argus remarks:
We are satisfied that in P0lkville alone other Adolf
tioniss can be found who ought 10 be dealt wh-men
as destitute of moral principle as Park or Patterson
Preachers of the gospel who instead OF teaching the
merits of Savior incuca;e the lessons OF ADohoh
ism. They must be looked 10. II Is not alone ahonS
No,thern Ncthodists that an Abolition preacher can be
found-and heT,in admire the spirit of our resolu-
tons to investigate the conduct and tea hinss OF
all whether Methodist Presbyterian or any other reh-
gous denomination.
