Iu addition the party must eowuiH itself plainly
to thodoeiefon ol UiM Supreme Judicial ttibuusl
■d'the land, which dm-feres that tho only right es 1

It must *et it* face determinedly against the o

(the Terr He rial Legislature) with more power
than the creator (Congress) Itself jos*e#ae*. and
under the specious plea of popular sovereignty,
surrenders the constitutional right of the citizen i
to tho arbitrament of those who are not sover

only another name for frmwoil, and lt advocates,
wherever found, are I’raesoilers at heart, and ouly
dhtorted by jffer, from so docUriug ibain
selves.
Here then, are two principles, declaratory of
twu rights, to theruoognition and enforuemout of
which the Houth is undoubtedly outitled—tbo
rendition of fugitive slaves and enjoyment of the

suppose the Chronicle and Sentinel Is willing to
go iu the matter <1 their enforcement, or what
would it do or advise so be done iu the event of
their denial ? Absolutely nothing. For ia the

We five a few extract* lor our tfoutlmru rcador*,
to-wit:
“I do from my inmost soul detest slavery, any- *
wtmro and everywhere; and although l oo’mmune
ut the 1...i d’s table with men of ail creeds, yet
with a slaveholder I haw no fellowship of any soft
or kind. I would as soon think of receiving a

This is not all. Liston how ftm Minister of

To the Kdifor us tha Christian Watchman and
Reflector:
1 have always considered it tube my duty to
deal with those aius which I porocivcd to l.e
must rampant among my Wo uiissth*
mark when wa preach of absent individuals. It
; is vary t*y so talk about tho brutuiity of |ht
j unodu*attjd when addruasiug my ford and my
: Isuiy, bull prefer so tell these gentry thoir own
eina and nut flatter them by comparing them
with others. This rule has brought uu> at divore
times intouo little trouble, which I have ehovr
fully endured, and have rejufoed thoraaiu. Du I
now anew outcry is raised in your land, and l
am vhargod, not with being too severe with hr.
I tbar J onu than, but with letting him off too com
| ly. Having uu sluvehiddars in England, I shouhl
1 have been beating the air if f had preuclu and
1 against slavery to in* people, for this is the very
, last crime they are likely to commit. It i* so,
more prob.fldc that any slaveholder who should
. show himself iu our neighborhood would get a
•calk which he would carry to bis grave.if it did
j not carry Aim there.
Ido from u;y iuaiost $• nl detest slavery any
where and everywhere, and although I commune
: at thu,Lord 1 * tobie with men of all creeds, vtt
with n Hlavoholder 1 have no fellowship of auy
| son or any kind. Whenever one has called on
1 uic, 1 have considered it my duty tn express my
j dctastMum of his wickedness, and would us soon
think of receiving a murdeverjinto my church. .. r
any urt ut triendship. as a manstcaisr. Never
theloss as I have preached at Loudou.and not in
New York, 1 have very seldom made nnv allu
sion to American slavery in my *enuous.
This accounts for the rumor that l have left
out auti-slavery from my Auieruau edition of
sermoua This is not true in any measure, for,
as fares my memory serve* tne, I cannot remem
ber that tbo subject was handled at all in unv of
my printed sermon* beyond a pa-ring allusion,
and 1 have never altered a siugle sentence m
ti sermou which ha* been sent out to mv Amor*
Ichu publisher* beyond tbo mere correction which
involved words and not sctoit. However, ti nny
think uic capable of double dealing, T doubt not
they judge of nu> by themselves, and from such
person.- esteem is not desirable. I have this
much to say to all who respect mo iu America;
1 did not went to he blaming you con.-tantlv
While there are sins enough 1n my own country,
but I shall not spare your nation iu future. I
shall remember that my ripea echoes beyond the
Atlantic, and tho crying sin of a loan stealing
I ample shall not go nn rebuked. 1 did not kuon
thal I had bteu so fully adopted a HtUcn of your
republic, but finding that you allow mo to be one
of yourselves, I will speak out quite severely
enough, and perhaps mure sharply than will
meet with your approbation.
I have not been altogether silent upon the tub-
Jaet, for I have spoken with burmug words when
