lem," &c. In proportion to my at
tachment to America, however, is
my solicitude for its honor and it:
safety, while this "monstrous off.
spring and curse Of SIM" unparallel
ed in enormity in all Christendom
if not in the whole world, continues
to be practised and tolerated. And
| am often constrained with another
to exclaim "Amerca must sink
Slavery, (and that soon) OR slavery
will sink America"
How long shall the highest hope
of universal freedom, and the dear
est interests of our holy religion be
jeopardiacd, by the apathy of the
friends of man, and the servants of
God in our country, on this moment
GUS subject? Neither the Christians
nor the statesmen of America need
be told, that the nations of civilized
Europe are gazing and kissing and
fIowning upon the denominations of
her domestic slavery. And what is
far more fearful, that righteous
God has been too long provoked by
it, to be expected, much longer to
withhold the walls of his indignation.
May that God who is mcrcifuI as well
as just, avert the calamities which
slavery seems threatening speedily
to bring upon favored America
With my whole heart, [ bid those
God speed, who are praying and
toiling to remove this mighty evil,
and avert those fearful calalnilies.-
And [ would pledge them the only
humble cooperation l can offer, my
fervent, unceasing prayers. Their
cause is the cause of God: and,
however weak and fallible may be
the instrument engaged in it, the
TRUTH Is mighty and II aoiU preraI.
Nor can l help believing that the
day is not distant, when good peo-
pie in America, much as they are
now divided, will be of one heart
and one mind on this momentous
subject. 1t does appear to me that
an evil, SO appalling in magnitude
and in guilt as American Slavery,
mourning, as it does, the rebuhc of
the world, and provoking, as it
must, the frowns of heaven, cannot,
when fairly spleaR out TO view, in
the light of the present day, much
longer find advocates, or apologists,
or neutrals, among American Chris
tians, or American patriots.
Excuse the extreme haste in which
| have pcnned this letter-my pres
sing missionary labors compel me
to write thus, or not at all-while |
beg to remain,
Very respectfully and most truly
Yours, JUSTIN PERKINS.

RESOLUTIONS,

Inc lrst OF the resolutions adopted at

thought otherwise. The question of absti-

Importance as the other. The question Of
right instruction in primary schools, is. at
least OF as much Importance and that of
disseminating right religious principles can

OF two and half millions from localized
