Brother Murray If this should not hap
pen TO fall under the 2lst Rule" you may !
let It appear in the Telegraph.
My objec, 10 writing it is, TO call the al
tenlion OF certain protested Abolllionists, to
the entire inconsistency Of their countenanc-
ing either pro slavery church,or pro-slavery
priests, either BY remaining members in the
church, or aiding the priest in his support.
II the /" American churc and ministry are
the bulwark of American Slavery" as James
G. BirneY has clearly shown-and | know
of no Abollionis! who pretends TO dispute
the ruth of it-why then, cannot see, for
the life of me, what consistency there can
be, in an Abolitionist sustaining either
For instance, the Methodist E. Church, we
all know, susiains or is one main spoke IN
the great wheel that susIains slavery. Now,
If sustain, or help sustain the Methodist
E. Church, do not so far sustain slavery ?
The Presbyterians, Congregatonalists, E
piscopalans, Baplists, and all other prlncI-
| pal denominations do the same. Hence il
| follows that all or any who aid in sustain
| ing these churches and ministers, aid in sus-
tanning American chdttet StdUery. Now II
any are doing il ignoranIly, they should be

they are but cohsummale hypocriles. /

aAd should cease at once and forever. Bu'
my practice is TO aid in sustaining the very
means that prevents the accomplishment ol
what say desire. That is, sustain

slavery church, or both, perhaps. Yet say

Once more, should not act the part OF a
hypocrite if | condemh the great Whore OF
