Correspondence Of Judge King And James G. Birney

11 wjil be reeollecíed that the National LibertV Convention, which met at Buftalo August 30;'atequested Judge King, President of the ■Convention, lo notify Messrs. Birney and Morris of tlieir nomination, and further resolved t fiat the corresponrlence between them be published. We are happy lo lay this correspondence before our readers, and we need nor assure tliorn that it will atnply repay pcrusal. The remarks of Mr. Birnsy on the course of John Quincy Adams in reference to the qiiestion of Slavery, will commend themselves lo the judgment of every unprejudiced person. Our readers well know that we are among the admirers of that indomitable öld hero, patrioi, and philanthropisr, for such we consider him (o be. We have often thought that in witlisianding the insolent aggrsssions of the slaveholders aiíd their northern allies,he has display ed a moral courage and an intel3ectual energy of a far higher order than is UBually evinced by military commanders of the highest reputation. But it does not fall to the lot of man to be perfect; and Mr. Adams Í3 not of thal non committal order of beings, w!iose errors or excellencies are mere abstractions. Henee his errors are dangerous,because he puls them forth 'm earnest as practical, living truths. - There is the more need, Iherefore, thit they be txposed, sxamined, and refuted. While he has contended for the right of pelition, he has taken ground against neariy or quite every antislavery measure, and asserted that by our eSbrts we were putting back thevause of pman cation. But we do especially object to the alheislic senVtmênt that Uie aws of men must bö obeyed even when they contravene the acknou-ledged principies of moral rectitude- thus virtually denying the sovereignty of God, and making a general apology for cvery species of ou trage and wrong, which can roceive the sanction of law. Wc sec not how any Christinn, who has vowed unlimitcd obe3ence to the will of liis Creator, can possibly yield hia assent to such a propoeition.
