My DEAR DOUGLAS BRETHREN Il intend
0 talk to YOU at this time about the folly and
'infuncss of worshipping man. The heather

Worship urclean beasts, while the others bow
II humble alteration even to kiss great toe.-
.sut we of this generation have been guilty Of
lie meanest idolatry of all, in worshipping
little lump of corrupt flesh and blood, called
stephen, now dcfunct. A few weeks ago,
when we ladened our vessel with rum ana
whiSkey for our brethren, who were sent out
Is missionaries to the port of Charleston, in the
foreign land of South Carolina, to preach the
gospel of Dred Scott and popular sovereignty,
and gave them gold and silver wherewth to
buy their bread and meat, our departed friend
was full of PROMISE and Eigh uplited as the
god of Democracy, and all who would fall
down and worship him should have their re-
ward. But, alas our brethren have returned
10 us with nothing but his unseemly carcass.

and mnde great lcmpntoton over him."
Ard it came to pass, when our chief priests
and elders were gathered together in Conyen.

of that region would not fall down and wor-
ship our golden calf And we said unto them
that they were wrong that the golden calf

would give them Bourbon whiskey, apple jack
and red eye as beverages, and had promised
nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand foreign
missions, post offices and custom houses, and
to take five thousand old foges into his cabi-

In vain our brethren promised to erect

with tricks of legcrdcmain. But they needed
not our entreaties. Oh, the "irrepressbe con-
