exposed this whole battery of her charms,
which he thought proper to assall, not

him with her Latinisms, against which he
could not rally. Again he tried to batter
down the citadel of her heart, with love
breathing sonnets which were too feeble
because not written in latin. Enraged

And let the fatal cord be severed.

And let thy imperious mandate lit me

Or hurl me into hell's dark abyss,

1t appears from the above communica
ton that our impressions in regard 10 som'
dates were erroneous; and that no sucl
blame as We minated rests with MIR
Tappan for the publication in question:
We are obliged 10 Mr.. Slade for the cor
rection.
We never supposed that the sentiments
of Mr. Perkins respecting slavery itself
or respecting apathy (whatcver there may
beg among Christians in view of il, were
materially changed by his visit 10 lhi
country ; and have no occasion, therefore
to say anything in defence of what Mr.
Slade understands our language 10 mean
Nor shall we attempt, now, the task tba
we declined before,---that of explaining
Mr.. P.'s present views and feelings. We
will only make an acknowled cement ant
Two suggestions
BY way Of acknowledgement we have
to say, that considering the state of the
public mind, our remarks were moi
guarded, as they ought 10 have been,
against the Interpretation put upon them
by Mr.. SIade. Having in our own
thoughts different causcs for the feeling
that Mr.. p. expressed, it did not occur 10
us that others might understand US as re-
ferrng to the considerations upon which
Mr. 5. dwells.
Oar Sug9 eStl0nS are these
l. 1t is possible that Mr.. p. may have
found that some passages in his letter, al.
though true and just in the sense and in
the applications intended by him, were
yet, in consequence Of the peculiar state
of things which he found among US, often
understood and used in sense and in ap.
plicatons that gave him pain.
2. Particularly, it is possible that Mr.,
p. may have been panied to find this let
lie: used in aid of an opposition TO the
Board, in whose service he is spending
his life. The letter was published by
persons who denounce the Board as pur-
suing an unchristian course, and who are
so opposed 10 cooperating with it as to
have formed another foreign mission So.
ciety; and the publication was made in
such connections and in such way as to
promote the objects of that society and
strengthen the opposition of its friends to
the American Board. Now if Mr.. p.
retained his confidence in the Board, and
regarded its course as Christian, and felt
that any diminulion Of its strength was an
injury to a cause dearer to him than life,
he may have been "pained,' and tex
ceedingIy" so, to find his letter, written
for different purpose. so used.
We have but word 10 add. Mr..
Slade does not always interpret social
phenomena just as we should. Ia regard
to our last General Convention, for iu-
stance, we could imagine, and were it our
business should suggest, more credta-
Bile reason for their silence on the subject
of slavery, than that assigned by him.
We should do it both as more probable,
and because our views Of Christian duty
require US to give credit for the better
motive wherever we can. But as we
were not in The Convention and have heard
no explanations about it from those who
were, our guesses would be worth no
more than the readers.
