RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Interference OF. the Board.

Ivy the slave holder can turn almost every
thing TO his own comfort. A few months
ago, the positive demand Of the south
ern Baptisls was that every aboitionist.
every man who would rot defend and
support "the divine institution" Sloutd 0e
expelled from all participation IN the man
agemeui of the Foreign Mission and BIZ
Bile. TRAIT and other socIeiies. H"Shait'
be done, said they. But. anon, their tone
il Changed, and their demand is that "aIl |
Mira aboli.ionists" shall be expelled |
There is a meaning in this which we well |
understand. When they found that :heir
broad demand would not be complied |
with, that none at the North would dare.
even il they were inclined, openlyto favor
the institution and that, If they should
be compelled 10 speak, they must take
sides with the aboltionists the south wise
ly curtaled their "demand." and began
to harp on the WORD " UItra,' intending
TO condemn and expeI no more than should
dare 10 speak out their sentiments against
slavery, being content7hat lhesNorlh think
and feel against il, if they viii only sag
nothing. SO, if we will only swallow The
gag, brethren, we may be permitted to
live /! This is the present plan, as is
clearly "indicated'' by the following
editorial comment of the "the Religious
Herald" upon the Address of the For
eign Miss Board - and by the southern
hints though, it will be observed. the
southern preparatory convention is not
abandoned yet. ltmay be, if they either
publicly or priuateiy receive assurances
from "the moderate men at the North
Of the decided coalition with the South
against "lhe Ultra abolitionists" And
then they may affect to care nothing
about the ultras,' and may grant US the
liberty to go on and say all we please,
they having attained The end they sought,
viz. neutralizing Of our influence; for
this is all they have ever cared for. II
may be well Tor the Board to pay particu-
lar attention to the hints Of the Herald,
II, however, any members of the Board
choose TO be decided, or ha re purpose TO
put US down, in obedience 10 the South,
one thing is sure, there are ultra aboi-
tionisis' who will neither be deceiced nor
take the gag. Let the following be read
with care.-ChristiGH Reflector.
Circular or the Board OF the General
Convention.
We commend TO The attention of our
readers the Circular issued at a meeting
of the board We hope that the desire
in1icated to abstain from any interference
with our domestic concerns will be sails

con6ded TO them, viz: conducting TO the
best advantage the business connected
with the various missions 10 the heather
They cannot displace any officer or mem
Der OF the Board, nor go beyond thei
prescribed sphere of action. We trus
that this Circular will allay the fears o
our Southern brethren-that there will /,
no diminution Of zeal or affection in tht
mission cause; and that they will quetI,
await the action Of the Convention il
April next.-ReliSious Herald Dec. 3. +
The Missionary Herald for Decemhe
furnishes the following items of interest
ing missionary Intelligence:
Intelligence has been re
ceived Of the death of Mrs. Van Lenne
on the i2h OF September. Her dIseas
appears TO have been an organic affection
of the heart. Her christian experience
in view OF the near approach OF death, j
said to be such as to throw much lneres
over her last days.
