GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
From the Christian Reflector.

"A IuuE ueluHsIus W tue DdptiSt IHutch,
and who resided in the vicinity of New
Hampton in this state, had made her will,
giving all her property to the Baptist
Board for Foreign Missions, but finding
that Board so welded 10 slavery, she
made another. and gave it to the Free
will Baptist Board FOR Foreign Missions;
with directions to expend what part there
of they night think BEST in the cause of
Abolition. The lady recently died, and
her executor is collecting her debts, which
amount to about four thousand dollars, and
has notified the legatees Of the bequest.
Within few days, they have bad meet
ing ia this village, and contemplate ex-
pending one half the money in supporting
Anti-Slavery lecturers in New Hamps-
hire and Maine. Here is dead loss of
$4,000 to the Baptist Foreign Mission
Society; and for what? For the good
reason that The Board of Managers of said
society lend the whole weight ofstheir in.
fuencc to crush the poor slave; lend their
influence to support the tyrant monsters in
sundering the nearest and dearest ties of
our common nature lend their influence
TO make thousands Of heather at home,
and send them 10 hell from this land of
gospel light, for the bare hope of evangel-
izing one heather in foreign lands. How
many such four thousands will it take 10
balance the ten thousand which last spring
was promised from Alabama, if the Tri--
ennial Convention would expel the aboli-
tion:sts from the Missionary Board? And
here { would ask, where is that $4,000
which was said 10 be locked up, but ready
to be paid over to the Board upon the "a
foresaid terms? The terms were compli-
ed with but where is the money? have
been looking into the Magazine every
month since the meeting OF the Conven-
ton, to see if the promise has been fulfill
ed. till am satisfied that they never had
it to pay over; it was one ofthe plous men,
stealer's boasting promises made to be
broken. How many more $4,000 and
$4,000 the Board will lose by their sub
serviency to the sIaveholding portion of
the Baptist church, time alone will show.
