MEETING AT SULLIVAN CENTER.
AT the Center there are not less than three re-
ligious Observation-Disclosures Methodists, and
Disciples. Application was made to the last nam
ed for the use Of their house, but they declined
opening it. They how ever, claim to be very anti
slavery, their church if l mistake not. is one oil
the anti.slavery Disciple churches Of northern
Ohio. Twelve years ago the Disciples were
preached against from ONE of the pulpits in Sui
Ivan, and denounced as tcorse than insdels I; but
now, having become somewhat popular they de.
nounce us as in6dels, and close their house against
us. In order to destroy the influence of our prin.
ciples, they have resorted to slanderous attacks
upon Disunionists, in SO doing not only violating
the laws of the land, but setting at nought the
principles of christianity.
Not long since a young man who is an advocate
of slavery, the son of a New Orleans STAKEHOLDER,
and the heir prospective of slave property, applied
for admission into the Disciple church at Sullivan,
was baptised. and is now recognized by the mem
'bers of that church as a brother beloved in the
Lord, dwelling within the folds of that Organiza.

lars of christianity into church membership, while
denying the use of their house to anti-slavery lee.

ministrations, yet we nevertheless had n pretty
good audience. comprising, | presume, the best
part of tho townspeople.
On Sunday forenoon we had a four hours SEES

the Southern part of our confederacy.
In the evening we were blest with a larger at
tendance than at any of our previous meetings
and though a little open opposition on the part q
those who disagreed with us would have been
pleasant variety, yet we could not persuade ther
TO make their objections publicly. After GU
meetings we're closed, they made brave talk {
what they could have done, if they had only fe
disposed to.
