In NY letter of last week, touching the " Re

to add to what there said was accidentally omitted
As it is important. ia view of the meeting of the
Boston Branch of the Tract Society, which takes
place next week that all the facts relating to this
important matter should be correctly set FORTH per-

to have said in that epistle. The Independent, iu

Ebert s. Porter's projections concerning me in
The Christian haUgencer, which was the first in-
timaton I had that such a compliment had
been paid me, falls into the prevailing delusiOn
which attributes the authorship of my letters TO
my much valued friend Mr.. Edmund Quincy Of
Dedham, in this State. l am sure that that gen.

that he is no more the author Of it than am myself
l would cordially agree, however, with the opinion
expressed by The Independent as to his talent for
that description of literature. certainly cannot
say, as The Independent is fatterng enough to in
innate, that he could have written this particular
tract. But, if the Tract Society have occasion for
any little jobs of this sort, confidently recon-
mend him as ole competent to turn them off with
neatIess, fidelity and dispatch, and the most rea
sonable terms.
We are busy making our arrangements for the
battle which is to be fought over again here next
week. the seat of having been transferred TO our
region Of country. We hope to give as good an &C.
count Of the enemy as you did last week and to es
tablish the of sound Conservative Christianity

quite ss good as they were with you, owing 20 the
more faDatica character Of the population, and the
greater facility which the outlying members have of
resorting to our metropolis, than TO yours Still.
We are not without hope that, BY pursuing the same
skiiu system Of tactics which crowned kh that
great victory, we may partake Of your glorious tri-
umph. We shall admit our members by ticket also,
and if we properly careful ~ provide all high

and let the malgnants get theirs if they can, think
il very likely the thing can be managed. You may
