"Great interest in the cause OF missions
"Elon Galushan must therefore be 'sexpell
q ed from his Office of Vice President Of th
e Board of Foreign Missions The Soul
: shave right to require it, and should max
: his expulsion the condition of their furthe
e connection with the Board" We shall Sc
: whether majority of the Baptist Ger
!, eral Convention will do the bidding
d Slavery, in the year eighteen hundred forty
If one. May be they will. May be they vii
,t choose union and communion with thi
e bloody institution Of sinful men, rather tha
= obedience to God and separation from sin.
:, There is one truth in the foregoing resi-
!, lutions and it is not small or unimpor
- ant one IL is this: "Those who are n,
for US are against us" The influence
nj all, and of each, goes on the one side or tt

The Baptist paper for Virginia has Ii

p would not set free their slaves, then the
Sd could not, nor would hold them in feio,

Galusha, Orson S. Murray, Cyrus
nd Grosvenor, &c. were forwarded 10 lars

IL could not conceive any good reason wi
an others should intermeddle in a matter
ch which they were solely concerned
ey slavery is an evil, as asserted by the alb
in litionists, il is one which must fall {

this alleged crime. We can not see al
IN necessity or modesty in such an interft
oy ence with what alone concerns US; in
IN subject in which we have so vital al
ed important an interest; subject which.
