Our reply is- Che tame word which condemns idols, condemns instruments of cruelty, and fur nishes the maxim alike applicable to both: Thou shall in any wise rebuke thy neigh bor, and not suffer sin upon him. The cavil.-however, is so weak, a3 to be unworthy of refutation. Were we reasoning with idolaters who say, keep your gods and we shall keep ours, we might patiently ex pound our conviction that there is but one true God, and one true religion, and plead .the consequent necessity laid upon us, to press the. universal adoption of that faith and fulfilment of that law, which alone we account divine, and acceptable, and saving. Bat how can we composedly dilate on these first principles of the oracles of God to Amer ican Christians,, who are at the very mo ment prosecuting efforts of glorious aggres ive benevolence 7 Such works are to us more expressive than words, and adopting the former as our model, in preference to the latter, we shall extend the same fidelity to America as America to other nations. Will you not, esteemed Christian friends, aid ns in this work and labor of love 7 Think what is due to the gospel of Jesus, which Slavery in all its forms obstructs, outrages and defiles. Consider what we owe to the subjugated, and, even when lib erated, slUlabjsed negro. Suppose him all that malevolence would pronounce him, are we not equally with an apostle, made debt ors to the Barbarians as well a to the Greeks, by that holy religion, which pro claims God to have made of one blood all natjnns that dwell on the face of the earth, which enjoins to loose, the bands of wicked ness to undo tfie heavy burdens to let the oppressed go free 10 break every yoke: and whose comprehensive commission, as deliv ered by a once crucified, but then risen Re deemer, isGo into all the world, & preach the gospel to every creature 7 But many are accredited followers of the Lamb of God.

The question then, is not whether we shall be actionless, but whether we shall do good or evil not whether we shall take a side, but which side we shall take; for, whosoever in this eause is not with Christ, is against him, and he who gathereth not with him, scattereth. purely Christians cannot wa scatteretti. surety unnsnans cannot wa- ver between these alternatives.

Mr Editor: 1 rccr.irJ it no more than Christian courtesy, in the discussion of important ; religious subjects, to give every man 3n opportunity to make himself fully under- stirift.

Agiin, Diluth informs us that "in the ritual law, reconciliation, pardon of sins, and nt-mement, were the same things.

IfM. prefers the original essay, and will fur nish it very well no objection only it seemed that there was not need of both. (2.) Before brother M. gave the unkind cut "but he miut abide the decisions of the editor" he should have read with more carefulness the paragraph already alluded to which may be found near the middle of the 143d page of the Telegraph and he would have seen that "the col urns of the Telegraph are open," either for the " re-written article," or for a re ply to the review in other shape.

" Who is sufficient for these things ? " In another part of our paper we have inserted the speeches of Gerrit Smith Esq. and Rev. Mr Galusha, before the Ameri can Anti-Slavery Society at its late anni versary meeting. We need not inform our readers that publishing the doings of a society, does not imply approbation of its p'an or measures. Our own views of Ami-Sla very Societies have bjen repeat edly expressed, and we have seen no occa sion to alter them. We believe that the formation of these societies at the North is calculated ra'her to retard than hasten the happy termination of slavery at the South. We believe that but for "the inju dicious meddling of Noithern Anti-Slavery men with the matter, the cause of emancipation would have made great pro gress, ere this, in Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky.

Such was the sta'e of things when "the an anti-slavery address, I was anxious to hear it. I have heard you ; and now I want to say to you, go on. Preach anti slavery at the North. Preach it wherev er you can. Circulate your publications. We shall get them. We do get them. There are more than a hundred slave holders in Maryland who sympathize with you, an ! will come out and be with you as soon as they dare to. Go on go on." This man urged upon Mr Weld what agrees with sound philosophy and all ex- perience the propriety and necessity of carrying on the work at the North. An other fact: A Southern slaveholder who attended the late meeting of the Anti Slavery Society in New-York, after the meeting, went into thejAnti-Slaveryjoffice and made himself known as a slaveholder. One of the agents of the society asked him: Do you think, sir, after attending our meet ing, that we are sane men ? Yes, was the reply. Do you think we are honest? Yes, and I do not know but you are right. After further conversation, he purchased a file of the society's documents to carry home with him. Facts of this sort are now coming to light every day. But all of them that have yet been told do not show a tenth part of a tithe of what has been done. Philanthro py is beginning to awake. The Bible is Being defended against the blasphemy that it justifies oppression. Ministers are preaching. The church is praying. God Almighty is thundering through his own chosen organs. Satan's hosts are mani festing discomfiture. Aristocracy is quail ing. Despotism turns pale. A moral earthquake is shaking the nation, and it shall not cease until Babel is razed to the foundation and trodden in the dust. Let those who stand in the way beware lest they be buried in the ruins. i E W -E N GLAND AN TI SLAVERY CONVENTION. The N. E. Anti-Slavery Convention was held in this city last week. YVe could not attend it so constantly as to give a fair ac count of it, and therefore did not visit it at all. The common opinion among those whom we have heard speak of it is, that no body was very well satisfied with it.(l.) Perhaps, however, they are all prejudiced though some of them belong to the Anti Slavery Society. (2.) Money was raised not in cash or collectible obligations, but in promises to endeavor to get subscriptions and donations to the amount of about $S000, for the expenses of the year.(3.) If mobs and Lynching go on another year, they will raise it easily. (4.) By their' aid, the Am. A. S. Society last year raised $25. 000 out of the 30,000 voted at N. York.(5.) Some of the most respectable Abolition ists talk of the necessity of taking the cause cut of the hands of the present leaders, and giving its management a better character. This would doubtless secure the co-operation of many, who now stand aloof. Per haps it will be done; but we see no prospect of it. (6.) Recorder. "The only true church.'' The follow ing resolution was moved by Mr Charles Stuart (formerly of the British a, my) (7.) and seconded by the Rev. O.

Has he heard the Boston Daily Advocate, which has the ablest, most independent and impartial edit or of any political paper in Boston, who vis ited the convention daily, and semi-daily, throughout the session. Hear him. Of the first day he says: The New-England Anti-Slacery Con vention assembled yesterday, in Rev. Mr Blagden's Church, in Salem-street, in this city. That spacious building was entirelv occupied, bv as respectable, attentive, and as truly moral and religious an assembly as any public occasion has ever called together in this city. A most respectable and deeply absorbed attention pervaded the audience. . So entirely composed and so fully open to free discussion, were the members of this re -pectable Convention, that we warrant they would have listened, most , patiently, to an address from Gov. M'Duffie,"showing that slavery was indis pensable to liberty, provided he would wait for an answer. The liberties, morals, and religion of our country can ever be in danger in the hands of such men and women as composed the Convention and its friends. There was not the slightest indication of disapprobation from any quarter. Extracts from bis remarks on the second day's session: The discussion in the Convention yester day, were highly animated, and elicited strong bursts of eloquence with cogent argu ment. We doubt if any of the Anniversary assemblies of the week have brought out so much talent. Of the third day : In the atteinoon, a great number of resolu No. 38. Vol. VIII-. tions were offered, cn various nihjects and all passed unanimously, after animated di cussions. The business of the Convention having been disposed of, an impressive prayer wa offered by Rev. Mr Grosvenor, and a hVIUn sung, afier which the Convention was'dU solved, at half past 6 o'clock, having been in active session three days. We thank our fellow citizens of the Con vention for their firmness and moral courage in thus sustaining this fundamental princi pie of Liberty the right of free dicus,i0n" Says the editor of the Lynn Recurd: It was one of the most affecting and deen ly interesting meetings we ever attended -1 Tf nnvthinor is rvnlpnlntort i- Ai, .u. i iuuiri uie gloom which is hovering over the liberties of our country. portending its speedy downfall it is the glowing patriotism, the thrilling s0a stirring eloquence of the talented oun men who are now coming upon the stae of life. Not all the corruptions of wealth of aristocracy, of Pharisaical priestcraft, of the despotism of slavery itself, can restrain the ardor, or suppress the flow ol generous feel ing, which bursts from the hearts of these devoted young men. The audience were, in their appearance. generally intelligent and respectable. A large number of ladies were present. We wish the whole American people, es pecially those in Congress assembled, could have been present aad heard the addressess on this occasion. Has Mr Tracy heard any of the above or anything of similar language from a score of other papers ? Dees he know that Mr Blagden's meeting-house, where the Con vention was held, was so filled that the broad aisle was frequently crowded with persons starjding, in session hours, to the last ? Does he know that the friends and attendants of other meetings complained se riously of their numbers scattering off to the Anti-Slavery Convention? This we heard with our own ears at the time. It is doubt less true that the friends of the "American Union," and expatriation that all the aris tocracy all who hate the Anti-Slavery cause all who envy Anti-Slavery men were not "well satis6ed" with the triumph ant success of the Convention. But that is no warrant for the conclusion that "nobody was very well satisfied with it." Such a representation is a most glaring ms-repre-sentation. (2.) Who? Doubtless our cause, ns well as almost every other good cause, has thoe who at times are fnint hearted rind ready to deny there need however be no uneasi ness until something appears more sf'fci-ic and candid. (3.) TheAnti-S avery Society wants no other "collectible obligations" than the pledged honor of its members. Will the editor of the Boston Recorder make known wherein this has ever failed ? "Money was raised not in cash' &c And yet iheie wn? cash paid info the treasury of the Con vention, on the spot, to the amount of nearly a thousand dollars ! (i.) Whether Mr Tracy has any now plans in view fur sending forth the "mobs," ne nas rot told us. Cn this point, all is characteristic mysticism. His former coii se of misrepresentation is failing the people are Ic ing credence. All this may strike some, as severe. But how have mobs been raised against abolitionists ?
