By Rev. Asa Mahan, President of the Oberlin Collegiate Institute (Lib. 9: 48). In December, 1839, an anonymous contributor to the Liberator is permitted to print a dialogue int he is a Perfectionist, and believe that, let him do what he will, it is no sin.—That is false. His views on the subject of holiness are in unison with those of Mr. Mahan, whom you have heard and liked (Lib. 9: 207). About 1500 subscribers are all, I understand, that have been obtained as yet, for the Abolitionist, notwithstan

t they took the cunning in their own craftiness, and carried the counsels of the froward headlong. . . . Have you attentively read the little work I left with you, by J. H. Noyes? If you have done with the file of the Perfectionist which I left in your care, I will thank you to send it to me by a private conveyance whenever perfectly convenient.

Finney, of Oberlin, who belonged to the same school with Noyes and (nominally) the editor of the Liberator, assumed an attitude of hostility to non-resistance very afflicting to the last-named. Finney held, in a Fast Lib. 11.151, 176. sermon, that circumstances may arise, not only to render fighting in defence of liberty a Christian duty, but also to justify Christians in actively supporting despotism.

Convention that resulted in placing before the country the nominations of Martin Van Buren for President, and Charles Francis Adams for Vice-President, on a platform of Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men [wherever slavery is not established already].
