MEssRs. HOLDEN & WILSON: The 9lst session of
the kehukee association of United Baptists has just
closed; and though composed of members from the
different sections of our country yet such was the
harmony, union, and brotherly love manifested and
realized among us, that qongeniality of sentiment
and unanmity of action may be strictly said to have
prevailed. This body convened with the church at
Southquay, Southampton county, Va, where We
were met by two ministering brethren of the same
faith and order, from the State of Maine. The one
Immediately from that State, by name Joseph L.,
the other w. j. Purington, from Washington City,
where he at present resides. These brethren main
tain and defend the fundamental truths in pol
tics, and the same glorious and divine truths in
lgion which the Baptsts proper of the whole South
and the whole Union contend tor, maintain and cher
ish with unabating devotion. We believe in our
government as 1t is; government Of principle
but awfully fear that the present generation has
far lost sight of all idea Of principle and the incacu
liable cost and value of liberties, that there is
something in the prospect much to be dreaded as
''war, pestilence and famine" No prescription in
either religion politics; but freedom of conscience,
freedom of speech, freedom Of the press and uncom
promising hostility to all usurpaton, tyranny, and
oppression in Church State is motto; and
while debate strife and division is the order of the
day among other religo nsts on the all absorbing
question Of aboiitonism, We the apostolic united
Baptists, know no North, TO South but stand to-

RICHMOND, Maine, Sept 16, 1856.
DEAR SIR:-Thc State of Maine, in the election
Of State officers has gone for Black Republicanism,
as you have learned and published. The Democratic
and Wing parties numbered more than forty thou.
sand strong in the late election but the wild fana
natcal influence of political priests and sectional
demagogues has duped the majority of the voters
of this State. 1t is not likely many Of them will re-
cover from the fanaticsm they are intoxicated with
before the Presidential election IN Cvember am
ashamed of my native State in some respects though
hope she may learn some wisdom by her own folly.
To put good name to bad thing will not make
bad thing good thing. The name OF Republican,
isn applied to unsound and fanatical principles will
not make those principles Republican. Many may
be deceived thereby, but it is impossible to bring
clean thing out of an unccan thing. There is moth.
-Nothingism, Maine Lavish, and Abolition.

Thus YOU see corr oborated the evidence of the

and should be to the feelings of all men South who
love the Union; and that is: l have universally
heard tremarked by our brethren and friends North
that the abotoniss in the free States look to the
