It was a time of much good feeling. The few who were present are atnong those who will never "strike colora" until the Moloch of this Nation's Slavery,falls in church and State. As some havo expressed their fears, that while an unsparing hand isgiven.to cither onaction upon Cliurches or on Political Action, that it will be to the detriment of oue or the other. To these pennit me to say, Breihren ! fear not : too much cannot bedone either in rcdeeming our reiigion, or our statute books from the foul urses that Slavery has put upon them; find it is a striking coincidcnce that any Ibulhiuniat faithful ut the Polls, if a professorofchristianit}', is faithful in church action, and you will almostinvariably find ihat, unfaithfulness in the one is attended with unfaithfukiess in the other.
