PRO-SLEVERV ADVOCATIM IN ENGLAND. —The
pretence to make slavery a ground of religious feud is of
extremely modern invention, sod could be justified only by
a church professing the theory of doctrioal development.
The catholic church has never dared to proclaim aboli-
tionism as • religious doctrine, although she has always
done her best to modify and abolish slavery by the indi-
vidual action of her clergy. The church of Busload, u •
beinch of the catholic church, his always treated the
question as one beyond her competence. A Wilberforce
and a Buxton might bold slavery to be deteetsble ;
an Eldon and • Windham might hold it to be just,
right, and expedient ; the church could have no opinion on
the question, for she had no rule by which to decide upon
it. The abolitionist and the sloveholder were equally en-
titled to their own opinions ass moralists and politicians ; as
churchmen, neither had a right to attempt to impose upon
others • yoke which can find so suction in the canons of
the church. Until • recent pried the majority of church-
men I. England were upholders of @Leery ; until within
the last three or four years the same might be said of
churchmen in America. And those who attempt to make
• religions question of each • matter, and to treat as
" unworthy ea-vent. " of their common Master those who
differ with them thereon. are guilty of a grievous sin—if
not as schismatic', at least as wanton disturbers of the
peace of the church. The boldest abolitionist will sot
peeteed that the rides of faith which are declared snakiest
by the church of Easlood contain any prohibition of
slaver, ; what right, thee. have churchmen to treat
slavery as an Gasses against the faith ? He must be an
audacious interpreter who can pretend to find in Sarioture
any prohibitive of slavery—what right then has any
Christian to nines the band of Christian brotherhood to •
alsveholdor?—dfcre sing Herold.
