The license law gives countenance to crime.nnd leads people to commit sins of the deepest dye.

On many accounts, I should he pleased to continue in this branch of the work, but I rejoice that the Freeman is going into hands more competent to do justice to the cause it advo cates. Indeed, wnateveroi merit 11 nas posscssc. during the post year, should be credited to the publisher rather thai) to the editor. In conclusion, let me exhort all who fear God and love their fellow men, to be dilligent in this blessed work. Now the election is past, your ex crtions should be rather increased than diminished.

Mr. Editor: I feel a deep conviction and sor row for my past error in casting my influence on the side of oppression and against the oppressed; although, like Saul of Tarsus, I did it ignuranlly; thinking I was doing God service. But the scales have fallen from my eyes, and I now see things in very different liitht. I now see that I have been persecuting the Lord Jesus Christ in his oppressed children, though I have all of the time professed to be an abolitionist.
