Abolition Doctrines.

A minister Of this place was invited in
to the country a few evenings since to ad-
dress the pupils Of school. In the course
of his general remarks be adverted to the
common practice prevalent among too
many of the youth of the day. of swearing
chewing tobacco. drinking whiskey. and
breaking the Sabbath. The minister told
the scholars that these were MI bad habits,
and If pcrsevcred in would inevitably make
bad men Of those who INDUCED in them
This was little too much for an old Cop
pcrhead who seemed to be exceedingly te.
nacious Of bis party principles. He arose.
and, interrapting the minister in the midst
of his remarks. denounced him with con.
siderable severity for coming ont there
