THE CHURCH AND SLAVERY.

Brother Murray II saw in your pa
per d short account Of some statements
that made TO the church and congrega-
ton in Orwell, the first Sabbath of Au-
gust. 1t is not my intention to reply to
them only in part. And would not have
troubled you with these lines, only to state
the case more fully, as to Cornwall church
and myself.
At the time | went South, was not a
member Of Cornwall church. but of Hines
buTgh church. From which church,
took letter, with the intention, as under
stood by the church at the time, of join
ing q southern church.
The difficulty, if any, must be, in diff
ference Of opinion, among themselves,
about passing the following resolution:
ReSOIred, That this church hold no fell
lowship with slavery, or slave-hoding
churches, or with any brother or sister
that associates with, and voluntarily re-
mains member of such church, until
they repent and forsake such practice.
The resolution, by counting the votes
ofthe women, passed. The male mem
bers were equally divided Since, there
has been majority of the male members
in favor of resembling it. Many of the
sisters, to say the least, as respectable as
any in the church, did not attend the meet
ing.
1t has been my desire that peace anc
union might prevail in the church.
And unless could be cordially receiv
ed by all, would not, under existing cir
cumstances, either preach to Cornwall
church or come to their communion.
i DO not approve, and never have ar
proved, of all the measures of a cer,a;

well.

captain Raines repaired to the spot, when
he discovered Indian signs, pony track and
some blood. So pleased was he at the sue
cess OF the experiment, that he placed anoth-
er shell similarly prepared, covered with a
blanket, and retired. Ii exploded, and on qo-
ing to the spot, it was discovered that the In
dams had tied an oppossum to it and its exer-
tons to escape, had exploded the shell. The
Indians had stationed themselves. and as thew
came up' fired upon the troops, killing one
sergeant a"sa and one private, wounding Captain
Kanes MORALLY, and three privates. The
Indians are variously estimated from GO TO

this protracted case before the Hustinus
Court. The particulars will be given hereaf.
ter. In the meantime, we may state from the
R. Wing, that Mr.. Dabney's account of the
beginning of the deficit is as follows: ssThe
first over checking was permitted by another,
then an officer In the bank. When it came
to his (Mr. Dabney's) knowledge, he consen-
ted to conceal the fact, for the purpose of
screening the officer, under promise from
Green to make good the deficiency next day,
or In some very short time.-That promise
was not fulfilled; on the contrary, it was
alleged that more money was necessary to
prevent exposure; and so it continued from
time to time, bankruptcy and consequent ex-
Posure being threatened as the means of ex-
tortlng larger sums-until the deficit reached
the present amount" In the course of the
examination, "Mr. Robertson, Counsel for
the Commonwealth, read statement of the
investigation by the Commissioners. The
substance OF twas, that the deficit in money
amounted to $546,619 10; of this, there were
ssh ,347 90 In checks of Green, S72, O53.
Green q Crenshaw, the balance in the checks
OF houses principally connected with Green"
On tuesday, MIR. Joseph Mayo Estates At
,torney,) submitted an extraordinary document
to the Court, which has excited much curios-
ity and conversation in the city. 1t was a
letter addressed by Green to Mr.. MAYO. on
the first evening when he was first apprehen-
ded, making an overture to him of $4,000, for
any service he might render him with the
Mayor In obtaining his release! We under
stand, that yesterday letter was received
from Green to the Court, complaining of an
alleged breach OF confidence in exhibiting this
letter! and expressing hope, that the Court
would not suffer it to prejudice his defence

IL The Abolitionists at their late grand
convention resolved that they could not give
any countenance to the election of Martin
Van Buren, or William Henry Harrison to
the Presidency of the United States. They
also express disapprobation of the eulogy be-
slowed on Gen. Harrison, by Mr.. Slade, at
the conclusion his speech in favour of abo-
fishing slavery in the District of Columbia.
Messrs. Birney and Earle are presented by
the Emancipator as the candidates of the Alb
olltionists in the Presidential canvass. Thus
1t would seem that if Gen. Harrison has anv
"connexion or sympathy" with the Abolition
lsts' as his enemies charge, they have not
been able to discover it. The monstrous
injustice and cruelty which has been done to
Gen. Harrison in the South on this subject
considering the exertions and sacrifices he has
made to defend our rights-must and will ul-
timately recoil on their authors.
