A DARK PROSPECT FOR THE SABBATH IN VIRGINIA
By Editor
The following item we clip from the Sabbath Recorder. The reader will remember that according to the profession of this government, its citizens are to enjoy liberty of conscience, free speech, and a free press. Let us see what we are coming to in fact; or, in other words if while the profession of this government is as mild as a lamb, it does not already in some portions of it, speak like a dragon. Rev. xiii. A DARK PROSPECT FOR THE SABBATH IN VIRGINIA.
We are sorry our brethren in Virginia should be deprived of the Sabbath Recorder, but it so seems it must be, according to the following notice just received. O Tempora, O Mores! To the Editors of the Sabbath Recorder.— DEAR SIR—I have been notified to examine your paper, and find it contrary to the Law of this State to hand it out of my office. You had better discontinue the paper. Your subscribers here are Rev Samuel D Davis and P. Bond. I shall retain your paper and not hand it out of my office. Janelew, Lewis Co., Va., Aug. 18th, 1857.
