Fbiend Cobb : Last evening a large and enthusiastic Anti-Lecompton meeting was held at Upton’s Hall in this city, to lake some action in regard to the English Bill which has recently passed Congress, The meeting was called to order by Dr. Geo. B. Budiogton, and J, M. Walden was chosen chairman and C. L, Petls, Secretary. Guv. Robinson was then introduced to the audi ence which was composed of nearly all the voters in the place, together with several ladies. He spoke for nearly an hour on the dhject for which Ibc-raeeting had been called, and was listened to with great imerest. He was followed by Mr. Samuel C. Smith who made quite a lengthy speech. Alluding to the past and present history of Kansas, he hoped to see tbe people enslaved if they .were fools enough to vote for the Lecompion Con stitution with that Bill for a few acres of prairie soil to which they were justly entitled by precedent. Upon this he was cheered by nearly every one present. The chairman was then called upon and made the closing speech which was listened to with much pleasure. A series of resolutions was drawn up and unanimously adopted. It is' expected that the Democratic parly will now be organized, for Kansas can never become a Slave State. To be admitted a Free Slate she must have 93,000 inhabi tants. Of course she will remain a Terri tory, The Lecompton Constitution has been voted down once by nearly twelve thousand of the freemen of Kansas, and where it will be sent to this time, the future will tell. Many think theie will be a larger vote polled against it now than ever. The one recently framed at Leavenworth will be ratified on the 18th of the present month by a heavy vote. The Government trains are departing now almost daily for Utah. Yesterday about $OOO V. S. Soldiers /eft for Leavenworth, »*nd expect lo reach Salt Lake City by the middle of July. Recruits are daily passing itp the river. Many think that Uncle Sam i* on a “wild goose chase,” in sending out so fnmy troops. Several millions of the public money ‘will be squandered away should they not go one step. The weather is now charming. Grass is up on the prairies nearly a foot high and corn and potatoes are up six indies. Should (he weather continue good'we shall have an early and abundant harvest. The forests are clothed in green, and abound in thousands of wild flowers in full bloom. Building is progressing slowly. The great financial crash has been a sad thing to Quin daro as well as every town in Kansas. Yours very truly, F. A. ROOT. liCtler from ItEichigan, Battle Creek, April 20, 1858. Mn. Cobb; Theanli-Lecomptonitesof (his Slate I think, will not be brought into the Le campion 'races quite as easy as they have been in Pennsylvania under the lead of old Forney. The Lecompion faction have got a majority of the Stale committee, and they will have some advantage over the Amies in regard to calling the Convention for nomina tions, and the way the two factions stand at present they will bo apt to split, if the Amies do not wheel into the ranks. The Douglas faction under the lead of the Detroit Free Press, acts on the principle of the “early bird catches the worm,” and insists on an early Convention. The Leoomptoniles want to put of in order to harmonize if they can. The Anlies being in the majority in the Stale, would be likely to get their own way on the course. While all these points are being dis cussed, the Free Press has been ransacking the (ossil remains of defunct “platforms,” to get some theory to build up the prostrated 1 hopes of the colored democracy in this State. A few d.ays ago the Press trotted out “ Slate Rights 'tand Popular Sovereignty /” The Press breathes forth this defunct theory after wailing over the recent township elections. The Republicans claim to bo State Right's Men; as to Popular Sovereignty, the Repub licans are about the only true friends that measure has got. Nevertheless, they will get wiped ou' of existence jjext fall, and the following inscription would suggest itself to the tomb stone cutters : Her* lie the remains of two principles dear*— One at Lecompton, ’totker here. I It ia lo be hoped that ihe Republicans of Pa will continue lo hoist the banner of “No more Slave Stales,*’ With this principle you certainly “Gulusha-ize” ibe nigger driv ing deoT'HSfacy of Pennsylvania. I have ihe utmost confTa with strict adherence to that principle, you will Grow and keep a Grow-ing until you outgrow the mulatto and ebon democracy of Pa. The winter crops through this section of the Siate are looking very fine, and indicate a bountiful harvest, unless something onfor seen should blast our prospects. The farm ers are very busy sending off their Potato crop; they bring 30 and 25 cts per bushel. Business continues to drag for the want of the root of ail evil. Yours occasionally, / Michigan. Confession. —A sailor died recently in Texas and on his death bed confessed that he was one of the crew who murdered Mrs. Al ston of South Carolina, forty yeafs ago.— Mrs. Alston was the daughter o r Aaron Burr. She sailed from Charleston for New York, in n brig, and on the trip the crew mutinied and murdered all the officers and passengers— Mrs. Alston being the Inst one to walk the plank. The sailor remembered her look of despair, and died in ihe greatest agony of mind. Gold is lowa. —There is great excite ment in certain parts of lowa about the late gold discoveries on South and Middle rivers in Union, Madison, Warren, Clark and Adatr counties, which lie in the southern part of lowa. It is reported that hundreds have gone to the diggings and are making from two to ten dollars a day each man, besides occa sionally picking up lumps of from one bun drcd to two hundred dollars value. n.

THE Republicans of Tioga County are requested to meet at the Court House on Tuesday eve.' ninz, Jane 8, to elect delegates to the Stale Conven tion. Speeches may be expected. Per Order. Mrs. Stevens advertises a new lot of Millinery Goods. Bailey advertises a new lot of those six shilling Gaiters this week. Ho ! ye barefooted! We call attention to Hos’s new advertisement in another place. He is always on bind. Ditto tbe Doctor. Mr. H. O.

We bespeak for them q generous patronage. H. Gold Rogers, Esq., delivered a lecture at the Court House on Monday evening. Subject, M VoU csnoes. The circumstances under which (his lect. ure was delivered were not of the most favorable kind, yet tbe lecture was attentively listened to and sliowed no little descriptive ability and cultivation. The last number of the Bloomshurg Republican has an able article on Fusion, every way worthy the vigorous pen of its editor. We shall give it an ear. ly insertion. It refreshes our confidence in human nature to hear such trumpct-longued words come up from the heart of Egypt. Trusty and true, Doctor. We notice with pleasure that our respected friend Mr. S. S. Benedict, formerly editor of the Luzerne Union, has become editor and proprietor of the .du rance, published at Carbondale City. Mr. Benedict proposes to make the Advance a Douglas organ. The paper is in the hands of a gentleman of ability and integrity. The promise of on early Spring, whose sign was visible in ihe heavens a month ago, has vanished. The fulness of May is the inheritance of April— rain—*rain. The ground is fcirfully sodden and the processes of planting and sowing are arrested. We (earn that many farmers have not yet prepared their ground for oats and spring wheat. The Montrose Republican has a most ably mista ken article upon the duty of the Republican party, in its last issue. We will present its principal po. silions and points, together with comments, next week. Some men possess the power of making the worse appear the better reason In a remarkable de. grec of development.' Considerable excitement exists in political high places on account of certain unceremonious search es of American merchantmen by British cruisers. The supposition is that these certain merchantmen were suspected of trading in men and women. We hope the matter will be fully investigated and that if Great Britain be found guilty of taking unwarrant able liberties with our vessels the insult may be pun ished promptly. v The attendance of Teachers upon the Institute is very respectable, notwithstanding the unpleasant ness of the weather. We give a report of the pro ceedings up lo Tuesday in another place. We had intended to complete the report up to Tuesday noon> but having made very full notes of the discussion we are obliged lo defer the report until next week, when It will be found very minute and complete ia our columns. A little hint to our farmers suggested itselt lo our mind a. day or two since, and which, if acted upon, may result in some profit. Just about these days a species of caterpillar, peculiar to orchards, is spin ning its webs over the apple>trces and preparing to become the pest ol the farmer os well as of the housewife. Just now there is a u spell of weather,” and an active boy, with a scrub broom can earn full wages in climbing Ihe trees and destroying the webs In their present halffinished state. The caterpil lars are now but about one-thlrd grown and the la bor of destroying them to-day trifling, compared with what it will have become two weeks hence Our friend of the Hbnesdale Democrat agrees with us that Philadelphia did a good thing in defeating the Administration candidate for Mayor, and asks us if it would not be a grander thing if a corresponding result could be produced next October in the Slate. As this question does not permit of a categorical answer, we must beg bis indulgence while we reply in our own way. But - first to the sentiment of the following extract from his remarks which may be found entire in another place. He says; w No compromise on Slavery, from the formation of the Constitution has found an advocate or a polo* gist m us. But we hate the exclusiveness of party as cordially as we do the bigotry of «ect. Small is our confidence in the utility of creeds, whether Tram* cd by divines at Westminster or by politicians at Philadelphia, and we are surprised, dear brother, to. find you so strait-laced and intolerant. A JVeio Dawn once smiled upon yoa. Has the shadow of of the sun on your dial gone Backward ?*' No, brother; the shadow on our dial has never gone backward. The same sunshine blesses us to* day that quickened us in the age of the “ New Dawn/*—only a little subdued, may-be; a Utile of its fire softened and tempered by the genial west, winds from the calm and peaceful realm of Promise. The ** exclusiveness of party” and “the bigotry of sect'* are just as hateful to us this day as ever, only we have learned that both arise from the operation of the great law of Necessity, and are to be borne with, therefore. It is plain that our friend misunder stands our position in this whole matter ; for it is not from any affection for party, per se, that we op pose fusion on the anli-Lccomplon basis. Party is only an engine for political and moral purposes; bat the Republican parly laid down some deathless prin. ciples in the Philadelphia Platform—truths os eter nal as any enunciated in the Declaration of Inde pendence. The question now to be settled is. wheth er we are to stand fast in those truths and bear these principles aloft, or lay those declarations and prot estations aside for a little time, ostensibly,and strike bands with the very men whose machinations the best sentiments of that Platform especially denoon. ced, and who hate not changed in principle, petition or declarations from that day to this! This Is the plain, the only question. Shall we retnrn to strike head* with the very party whose principles were ab horrent to us in 1854, are still abhorrent, and while we believe in the being of a God, must be so. No, brother; we turn not back from the little progress Right-ward made by the parly in '5 6, until the shad, ow on our dial disappears forever. We do but half oar duty even thus; but beilsr so much than noth* mg at all—than open tinning against the light for THE TIOGA COUNTY AGITATOR. the sake of that rock upon which Church and Slate seem fated to split— Expediency. With our (rxend, we believe in many things not yet embodied in the Republican creed, and which may not be therein embodied, even in our day ; but of these unenumcraled articles or belief, fusion with an open and bitter foe to human righto U notone. Would you, would any other stanch anti-slavery mao have thought of mounting the Cincinnati Platform to mingle la a family quarrel between Arnold Dou glas, John W. Forney and James Buchanan only two years ago 7 Why is it proposed now? Is it because James Buchanan, abetted by a majority of the so called democratic party, has kicked that plat* form from beneath bis feet,-—has repudiated it? Is its falsehood purged out thereby 7 or is that platform inherently corrupt, mendacious and dangerous to lib. erty? The latter, assuredly ; and as it was made neither better nor worse by the adherence of Mr. Buchanan and the majority of the parly which sup. ported him, so it is cot made a whit better by tbeir repudiation. We can see that the Administration has gone beyond that platform in infamy ; but is it necessary that we should descend to its recent level in order to defeat it? and, should the President go still farther South next winter, mast we go down upon the Lecomplon platform to fight him 7 No, brother; Faeilit deteentus Avemi; but is it there, fore a duty because the downward way is easy 7 Suppose the Atheistical Tract Society should next year resolve that its publications should not, in the future, say aught against theft, arson, gambling in. temperance and murder? Would you advise ors» Tyng, Bacon, Cheever, Thompson and the many, contemners of its late unchristian decision in favor of unlimited licentiousness in one direction, to go down into the mire of its present position in order to plead the necessity of a common morality to the proper inculcation of the Christian religion 7 We do not presume that our brother would do any such thing. But where is the essential difference 7 Therefore we answer that, in our judgment, union on ifie Lecomplon issue cannot result in aught damage to tbe cause of Freedom. We may be ci. ted to the campaigns of ’54 and *55. Very well; but what was the rallying cry that rang through those campaigns ? * l No further extension of tbe curse of Slavery 1” That was Die rallying cry then and that is the only rallying cry worthy of a pro fessedly anli-slavery party. The result in Philadel phia did not and does not take place on our tablets as s Republican victory. Wo applauded only that it appeared to as as a successful attempt by Satan to rebuke sin* In other words, it was a little civil war in tbe bosom of the democratic party in which the lesser evil overcame the greater. It is not enough with us that Mr. Douglas is op posed to robbery on the highway, yet countenances every other crime in the calendar. It is not enough with us that a man rejects Lecompton yet pwallows the Nebraska bill—the harlot mother of outrages too vile for repetition—without winking. We are ready to bory the hatchet on nonessenlials, but as for aba. ting opposition to the policy of Slavery extension as inaugurated in tbe repeal of the Missouri Compro mise and re-affirmed in the Cincinnati Convention, may our right hand wither if we ever prove so false to humanity. We assure the editor of the McKean Citizen that we have never proposed such an organization of the parly as should effect the alienation of any man, or body of men attached to it and rallying at the cry of “No more Slave Stales I” in 1856. On the con trary, we desire the organization of the party under a banner so inscribed, arc ready to work shoulder to shoulder with any man under that banner. But wc cannot and will not admit, even by implication, that the doctrine of Popular Sovereignty deserves other than the reprobation of honest men. We care not as he states, the parly in power is trying to slran. glc that base doctrine, after riding Into power by its favor. It is fit that the child of such parents should die by the hand of those parents. It is not for men who have denounced that doctrine from the first to shieM it from the death it so richly merits. And why are honest men asked to warm into life a serpent which stung Liberty only not to death in 1854? If that doctrine was false then, it is false now, and forever. If it be true now, it was true then, and our opposition was ill-timed. Bui a doc. trine which teaches that any community has the right to do wrong> is a false, a dangerous doctrine. Popular Sovereignty so lcicheB,and we shall do baU tie under no such a banner. ‘ Hon. H. C. Hicsok,State Superintendent of Com mon Schools, lectured before the Teachers' Institute now in session in (his village, Monday night His discourse related to the vital importance of a Dior, ough education of the masses to the just and certain administration of Justice in our Courts. The lecU urer attributed the burden of what is popularly known as “ glorious uncertainty of the law” to the incompelency of Jurors and related a number of amusing anecdotes touching the same, which were principally drawn from his experience as a practi tioner. The discourse abounded nf practical truths, sound logic and appropriate anecdote. We cannot attempt a report, since nothing less than most ample notes could aid us to develop its chief excellences, and these we have not, Mr. Hickdk understands his theme, is a forcible and earnest speaker and a fine reasoner. The cause of Education has a noble champion in him. Al its last session the Legislature of this Slate enacted a law touching ibe belter organization of the Militia of the Commonwealth. It makes it the duly of assessors to enrol every person not exempt from military duty between the ages of twenty and forty jize , which persons are to be required to pay fifty cents per year as commutation of arms, accon terments, dec., should they refuse to parade. On the other hand, such as may equip themselves and as. serable for parade and drill, not to exceed six times during the year, will receive, each, the sum of $1,50 for every day so spent. In addition to this, a brig ade muster, not to continue more than six days, is permitted and at a like compensation to each soldier per diem. Thus, training is no longer to be made unpopular because it doesn't pay, but popular be cause it does pay. If this law does not resurrect the slumbering spirit of M training, 1 * it must be len der the influence of a more powerful opiate than the love of gain can overcome. Where is the money to come from? Ah 1 that's the qnestioh. We suppose, however, that some will go from yonr pocket, some from ours, and so on. It is so much given to revive a custom which accom pllshed nothing for community but its demoraliza lion. When General Musters ranked as Anniversa ries, the occasions were marked by the most deplo rable excesses, in which spectators look active part What other result could be reasonably expected ? The war spirit is essentially demoralizing. It is a spirit of violence and excess, unchristian and there fore to be discouraged. We cannot applaud this act of the Legislature. It seems a step backward toward the barbarism of the past. There is no oc. casion to stimulate the military spirit in this coun try, it being sufficiently active for the peace of the nation. With an Administration decidedly com mitted to fillibustering, and perhaps even now med itating war for illegal conquest, the people are in a fair way to havs their warlike appetite sufficiently whetted. And then,just think of the pother made by some people because the State pays oar Superintendent of Common Schools a salary of 8900 per year! Why, the State proposes to pay each 100 men who may parade under the now law, say six time, a year.lbe same amount! Now, if 3000 men in this county choose to parade six times during the car* rent year, the Stale wili pay to them the snog little sum of 818,000 !—in other words, 2000 men would receive 918,000 for six days of unmitigated drunk enness and excess—a sum which would cover 18 years' service of a county Superintendent at a sala ry of 81000 per annum! ' What marvelous strain, ing at a gnat 1 And such is dimmyeratie economy. Tioga Co. Teacher’s Institute. 2d Session. Pursuant to a call issued by Ihe Co. Supt. the Institute met at the Court House, in Wellsboro, on the 24th inst., at 2 o’clock P. M. On motion, Mr. E. Wildman, was elected President pro iem. The names of the members being read by the Sec'y., the following teachers answered to their names: MalesJ. B. Vandusen, F. D. Ritter, H. N. Williams, J. B. Niles, J. Walbridge,.D. Se christ, D. Bacon, R. M. Pratt, R. R. Austin, Chas. Houghton, G. Snover.—Xl. Females : Lydia Smith, C. B. Henry, M. I. McCarty, Sarah Steele, Francis Richards, Ellen Sears, Martha Peet.—7. On motion the Conslilution and, By-Laws were read by the Sec’y., as also the minutes of the last session. The report of the Committee on Business was called for and read, as follows : 1. Remarks from the Slate Supt. Hon. H, C. Hickok. 2. Voluntary exercises on the patt of members. Evening Exercises.—At o’clock, lec ture from Hon. H. C. Hickok. Mr. Hickok being called upon, made a few remarks. Mr, H. alluded to the unfavorable stale of the weather, and thought it highly creditable to the teachers of Tioga Co. that so many of them were present, under the circumstances. He had traveled the length and breadth of the Commonwealth often, to attend meetings of this nature, and very often had under the best -ckcum3tances t fewer teachers than were present on this occasion. He had ex amined the Report of the last session of the Institute and from that and other signs he really did not know what there remained for him to do in Tioga. He had ascertained that he was expected to do a great deal during this session of the Institute; Bui he was not, and never had been a practical teacher, and could not, therefore, afford much information on that head. Be would endeavor to do his best to soften the asperities which attend the life of the teacher. Mr, N. L, Reynolds was called upon but did not appear. On motion of Mr. Niles, those present de siring to join the institute were invited to do so. Mr. Reynolds called for the reading of the article of the By-laws relating fo payment of fees by members, it was read by the Sec’y, and Mr. Reynolds moved that that article be suspended. Mr. Niles moved as an amendmen!, that the article be stricken out altogether, or so much of it as requires members to pay a semi annual fee of 25 cents. Carried. Mr. Reynolds suggested that the Sec’y be requested to call upon any member of the fn slituie to furnish a report of its proceedings, synopsis of the speeches &c. This would render each member attentive and punctual. Mr. R. afterwards put his suggestion in the form of a motion, with the amendment that teachers shall not be excused from the duly. Soma objections were made, but on sub mitting the question it carried unanimously. Mr. Richards moved that Ihe Committee appointed to arrange business for this Session, last year, be censured for not fulfiling the du ties of its appointment. The Chairman of the Committee explained that it was not possible to prepare business so far ahead. The motion being submitted, it was adopt ed, and the Committee declared to stand cen sured. The result of this vole occasioned much merriment. Mr. Walbridge said that Institutes were necessary to bring teachers together for the purpose of comparing methods of leaching, in exchange of sentiment, &c. Members could not rise to address the Institute without embarrassment; it was necessarry to over come this embarassmenl to get at each oth ers’ sentiments. Upon recommendation, Af. H. Cofab was elected an honorary member of the Institute. Two amendments to ihe Constitution were moved and ordered to lie over until next day. On motion the County Superintendent was directed to form the Institute into a class and drill them in orthography one half hour. After this exercise the Institute adjourned until evening. Heavv Offence and Heavy Damages. At Chardon, Ohio, there has been a breach of marriage contract before the Court. Su sannah Garris sued John Sumner for this of fence, and proved that the “courting’’ began when she was seventeen ; that it continued regularly for fourteen years, interspersed with three several appointments of the happy day, and the usual country preparations for such an even', such as while dresses, new bonnets, quilts, embroidered chemises, &c. The defendant at last came to this Stale and returned home with a wife. Then Susan, who had grown much wiser, and found that she was getting toward the “shady side of forty,” got riled and sued. The jury gave 810,000. A Human Wad.— The “India Rubber Man,” al the Museum, answers to ibis a amp. He does himself up into a ball, eighteen inch es square, and makes himself comfortable in a bo* of that size; he turns his feel behind him, and walks forward with his heels in front; he carries a hump on his shoulders, which, by a sudden movement of the body, he thrusts forward upon his chest, showing’ its entire disappearance from behind. By another movement ha throws it to its more convenient resting place on his back. On seeing his acting, one would feel bat little ad ditional surprise to see him take off his head and put it back again.— N. Y. Sun. gtamimmuatcon#. lor the Agitator. Teacher’s Wages, Mb. Editor ; I have waited in vain for some of our female teachers to ,reply tojhal. poor benighted brother “Male' Teacher.”— He has become so befogged pnd beclouded with his latin, mathematics arid philosophy, that he is even fain to coll upon «ome of his frail sister teachers to enlighten his lordship upon a few simple truths. We must confess we were not a little taken aback with his “quid pro quo,” but then as we are not expected ip be very learned, we read withi silent amaze ment —without even wishing jto know the meaning. He asks with a great deal of ponderosity, “What has been the females’.'education for the last fifty years?” We answer, we have known females withia the last fifty years who iiad taken a thorough course in mathematics, who could even translate “fluid pro quo,” get the same remuneration ]lpr leaching as some stripling of a lad, whose 1 chief qualifi cation was, that he could drant on his seven mile boots and perambulate mud and slush at the rate of ten knots an hour.j Again, “What is she expected to study at our high schools and academies. As far as our acquaintance with such extends, she is expected and urged to lake the same course withjher brothers; and right heartily ho has to work sometimes to keep pace with her. We dojnol claim that there are as many thoroughly educated fe males as there are males ; but there are some, and when these are adequately remunerated for their services, there will be more. Public sentiment has been such, that ihe female has had little or no incentive to {stimulate her to prepare herself as she should for teaching.— It costs her as much to get an education as it does her brother ; and then j to receive so little for her services in comparison with his, is not very soul-stirring. What woman lacks in strength, she makes up in tact; she comes to her conclusions quicker jifcjan man tube, sure, but that is just what a teacher wants, for while, the slow thinker ‘is making up his mind, the boy jumps out of the window.— Now brother, don’t imagine that when “our boasted powers of kindness fail, (which is seldom the case) we will give! it up! for we will try what virtue there is jin stones, and see if these “Young Americans” can’t be brought to terms. We would like to say much more on this subject; hut remember ing that “brevity is the soul lof wit,” we clqse by repealing once more, “quid pro quo.'” Osceola, May 10th, 1858; j E. From the New; York Ereninjr Post Cfae Tract Controversy—Wlial Next? ,i J The management of the iTracl Society yesterday triumphed, after Jaislormy strug gle, over the anti-slavery opposition, and the old board of officers wag re-elected by a de cided majority. The societyj in thus rever sing its position taken last year, decides that no tracts shall be issued on the slavery ques tion, and no allusion be made in its publica tions to an institution which a majority of its members consider a greet Obstacle to the progress of Christianity in | the Southern. Stales. It is claimed, however, that practi cally this is a consideration of small conse quence, as most of the Society’s issues are circulated among the nomslatjeholders of the South, and that the prejudice among slave owners is such that the publication of docu ments on slavery would destroy its influence altogether in that section of the country.’ Whether this be so or we cannot de termine, The opposition, however, maintain the negative, and have allaloqg asserted that the whole truth of God involves a condem nation of slavery, and that a( mutilated gos pel is no gospel at all; though! they are guilty of the inconsistency of urging the publica tion of documents like Bishbp Meade’s In structions to Masters, recognising and pre scribing rules for an institution which they stigmatize as inherently immoral and wicked. Hence the root and branch j abolitionists of the Lewis Tappan or the Garrison schools rather exult, we suppose, in the discomfiture of the anti-slavery moderalioa, headed by Drs. Tyng and Thompson.| These latter, however, assert, if we under stand them right, that the issue of rules for slavery will prove an inefficient, though indi rect, attack on slavery itself. insuring its downfall perhaps as speedily] as a direct at lack upon the system—a species of argu ment of which our recent Kansas legislation in Congress has furnished some notable ex-' amples. i Meanwhile, as the Tracts Society insist on its inability to do anything jbut preach the undisputed word, and on not promulgation what will give offence to evangelical Chris° lians of any section, of course it will not again violate such consistency by inveighing against intoxicating drinks,! dancing, theatre gding, or any other practice on which a difference of opinion exists (among church members. This, undoubtedly, would have been the smoothest and easiest policy, had it been adopted at the start; hut bow it will work now, after so great ian agitation has been excited, remains to be seen. We rather doubt its success, ; , j But what will the'tjefenied opposition do? Will they, for the sake of the half million of property and the S-100,000 annual receipts of the Society ; still’adherd to it after they are thus hopelessly prevented from control ling it? Will they join in the work of re fusing the Gospel to slaves land slaveholders? Will they adhere to the I organization and neutralize its influence by a; continuance of a hopeless contention, or| will they throw themselves on their wealthy northern con stituents—the churches of New England and the West—and peacefully j secede ? This appears to us the best course. We should then have two harmonious organizations, working in different ways, for I he" same no ble object—the evangelization of the world.
