FIELD uOTES.

met-as per arrangoment-Joseph A Rowland at
ModADoRE, and, in connection with him., held three
meetings ut that place. On Saturday evening and
on Sunday afternoon We occupied n oommodious
school.bouse, and on Sunday evening the Disciples
church. The friend, in Mogadoro are experience
ing the truth of the proverb that Zone renegade
is worse than ten Turko', for the most bitter hos.
tility to the anti slavery cause thoro cmannto, from
some of those who formerly p%rofossed the faith
You will perhaps remember Mogadore as the place
where, in our meetings of three months since,
some of the opponents Of our cause advocated the
right and duty Of lying, under certain circumstan.
ces l suspect some of them have enlarged their
area Of circumstances since then, and have extend.
cd the by no means peculiar institution of false
hood over other territory than that they then oc.
%oupied.
On Sunday evening when Mr.. Rowland was
bearing somewha heavily upon the position of the
American church in general, and the NJ. E.. branch
in particular, o Disciple, who was present,
asked, What church are you speaking of?"-
The Methodist Episcopal Church" replied Mr..
II, "All right! 20 ahead" was the response
But when the Disciple Church came under review
the friend seemed to think it anything but "all
right" and in order to convince the speaker that
his charges were unfounded, he handed him a Dis.
ciple Magazine, which Mr.. II. very unkindly used
to substantiate his statements. Our friend com
planned Of such treatment very much, and also ex.
pressed an opinion that il was very unfair to at
tack the Disciples, seeing it wss their house we
were u,ing, After the meeting that eEening, and
all the next day, complaints were made that the
entire article in the publication referred to had
not been read.
Having no appointment for Monday evening,
Mrs. Jones, in compliance with the wishes Of some
Of tho people Of Mogadore iectured there on Wo-
mans Rights to on apprecistive audience. After
her meeting was concluded, on opportunity was
given for any one to read the entire article com.
mentei upon the previous evening. No one else
coming forward to do it, l read il myself, and used
il: as a tsxt for a brief ansi-slavery DISCOURSE. 1t
was a short editorial fr ON the North Veste1n Chris,
tian Magazine, tho organ Of the nnti-slarery Disci-
ples, 1t commenced with an extract from the MI.
HarbiRgey, chronicling the conversion of a Mr.. Il.
B. Harris, a Protestant Methodist, who, says, the
liarbinger, as the son of a wealthy planter, him.
self d wealthy planter. and the ,on-in-law of q
very influential planter" The editor Of the Mag
~azine-John Bogg,-in commenting upon it says
"In plain English, this convert to our ranks
is himself a large Shareholder, the son of q large
stakeholder, and son-in-law to a very large slave
holder" and concludes with Fome very good anti.
slavery remarks, the force Of which is msterixt7y
lessened by lis recognition Of that very STAKEHOLDER
as a Convert to our ranks.
l also read another article in relation to the
american Christian Missionary Society, the common
,1,trorn a,on .-l,ol ,n,bn --a
southern Disciples alike meet, in which the editor
speaks Of the work it might accomplish, off th>
Society could be divorced from all fellow ship from
the sin OF oppression" and of the necessity tina
the brethren should labor to place the Society
above all suspicion on the subject Of slavery: thu,
showing that however anti slavery in profession
some Northern Disciples may be, go long as they
receive Shareholders and their a~pologiSts into theiI
ranks, recognize them as Christians, and unite
with them in the prosecution of missionary opera
tons, 50 far forth they uphold American slavery
and give it the sanction Of their religious roputa

On Monday, Mr.. Rowland left Us on an explor
J ing expedition, designing to lay out considerable
/ work for the entire company. Our appointment,
e led us first to MIDDLEBURY, where we lectured OF
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings in tie NJ. L
Z Church. They have had but few disunion lecture,
n there, and are not familiar with either our doctrinel
e or measures. Questions were put in relation t.
n the position of the NJ. L. Church, and information
= was asked in regard to the character f:he US. Con
q stitution. Some Gerrit Smith men with tender con
9 sciences were present, who could not bear that tn,
$ Constitution should be denounced as a pro.slavery
l. document, and for their especial benefit we dwell
= a little upon one or two OF its most obnoxious
clauses. and then exposed the inconsistency O
e those who claim that it is anti.slavery, and theI
! rush to the polls aud vote for S. P. Chase and 9th
a ers. who give to il an opposite interpretation-a
Inconsistency which all the audience Except per
haps themselves) appeared to understand.
Middlebury has three meeting houses, Methods
Congregational, and Presbyterian. The Congre
gationalists claim to be anti-slavery, and perhap
are partially so. The PresbyteriaDs have had n
n meeting there for a year or two past, and no US
has been made Of any part of their house excep
Z, the belirey, which, within the pact three months
has on several midnights, sent iorta the voice of il
70 bell, startling the people from their ~slumbers, an
$ perplexing and mystifying them as to the charac
ter of the invisible bell ringer. While in M. W
were Hospitality entertained at the house Of a MI
n Sawyer, a first cousin by blood to Stephen A. Doug
d las, but no relation to him, | should judge, ant
slayory'wise. He gave US many interesting fact
in relation to the early career Of that man, who's
course just now is vexing and perplexiug his poll
,c ical associates.
On Thursday and Friday evenings we held NEE
< ings at CUYAnoGA FALLS, and under very adyers
circumstances too. First, we had to rent a ba
at tho unreasonable charge Of IS Wholesale fc
two nights, or So retail for one night-a hall ne
half as desirable as tho Town Hall in Salem
