announce the decease of another Of the
patriots who lived, and actively participa-
ted in the times that tried mems souls"

the frui,ion Of the hopes Of our forefathers,
that their descendants should sustain aud
perpeluale the free institutions which it
bad cost hem so much blood and treasure
10 obtain.
We allude 10 the venerable DR.. William
Read, IA member of Gen. WashingIon's
Staff, during the Revolution, with the

by The Board of Foreign Missions, forget
full of the hand which feeds him, has con-
lribuled sum Of money to an abolition
societyto aid slaves in escaping from their
masters. Such conduct is not only un-
worthy of Minister of Christ, but also a
fragrant instance o. want of respect 10 the
rights and laws Of a people, who, to say
the least, have been very kind to him.
How can the Southern Baplisls be in COM
munion With man who may be an ac-
cessary before the fact, TO The stealing, not
of one but hundreds Of slaves?
Your Committee recommend the adop-
tion of the following resolutions
Resolued, That the late action of the
Acting Board of the Baptist Triennial
Convention, having charge of the For
eign Missions, whereby they declare "that
il any one should offer himself as mis-
sionary holding elaves, and should insist on
sholdiug them as property, we could moi
appoint him." is plain violation of the
constitution OF the Triennial Convention,
is an assumption Of power expressly de-
MED TO them, by the very body under
which they hold their authority, is fla
gram act of injustice to Southern Baptisls,
and is a. human attempt TO abridse the
Commission of our Lord and Master.
Revolued, That it is our right and du:y
to demand, that the action Of the Acting
Board should be reversed and resclnded
by The General Board:
Rcsolved, That in The hope that this
may be done, we respectfully recommend
that the assemblage of the proposed South.
ern Baptist Convention, be deferred until
The first Tuesday before the third Lords
day inJune next.
ResoIved, That NJ. T. Mendenhall, D.
R. Lide, J. B. Below, S. How, Capt
Trout, A. ]. Burke, Rev. J. j.. Reynolds,
and w. Riley, be the delegates OF this
Church, 10 meet the said Convention
,Dhenever it may assemble.
Resolued, That we respectfully suggest
to our sister Churches throughout the
State. the propriely and importance of
their early consideration of this subject,
and if they concur with US, that they ap.
point one or more delegates 10 the SAID
Convention.
Resolued, Thas the Rev. Mr.. Mason,
one of the Foreign Missionaries, has gross
ly mistaken his duty in contributing to q
,Soc;e.. Io,n;d siavesin escaping trom. their
masters, and that the Board ought to re-
,yoke hia appnintmept,
Resolred, That copies Of this report and
of these resolutions be inclosed by the of.
ficers of this Church 10 the Acting Board,
and 10 the General Board Of Foreign Mis-
sions, and to the Baptist Board Of the
Foreign Mission Society Of Virginia.
Resolved, That the officers Of this
Church have the proceedings of this meet
ing published in such papers as they
may deem expedient.

ADDRESS OF THE PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE.
The Provisional Committee Of the Bap-
list Anti Slavery Convention, have pub
lished an Address, approving of the late
action of the Board of Foreign Missions in
relation to slavery, and urging in the
strongest terms, all who have hitherto
stood aloof from that body, on account Of
its supposed indirect sanction Of slavery,
and have sen, their funds through another
channel 10 Immediately unite in vigorous

position. The Address thus closes.
To such as have felt constrained with
US, to Withdraw their direct CO operation
with the Board for a season, we say with
deep sincerity and emotion, see to IL that
our brethren are sustained in the honorable
stand ,ohtch they haue taken, and which we
doubt not they will maintain. For US no,o
10 stand aoof would be base and treacher.
Gus. Gratitude TO God for an event for
which we have earnestly prayed, should
impel us 10 such course. So much OF
The support of The cause as has hitherto
come from the unpaid tolls of the slave,
will, no doubt, now be withheld; let this
deficiency be more than made up by your
increased liberality, Let not the Board
aud the missionaries suffer, because the
former refuse in any way to sanction a
system Of wrong which has been alike
grievous to US all. The missionaries in
BIrmah once had it under consideration to
request the Board 10 deduct from their
scanly salaries the probable amount Sc.
cured from slave labor---and it vas not
that they would not have deemed privalion
luxury, compared with the thought that
The means of their own support were 10
part the price of some Christian brother
or sisler sold into perpetual bondage-a
doom more dreadful than death-that this
resolution was not taken.
Let this fact, and others still more plain

and feelings with our own, impel US to ex-
ert our utmost to afford hearts 80 noble all

Grated their all to it, and bear in mind
that we are no less the Lords. Let those
whose funds have been conveyed through

kept back their donations, let them see to
