this is once believed, it will be made the lead
ing object first TO accomplish. That the
church and the government have faults, and
that too, in reference TO the question of slave
ry, few would dispute. In this the Gospel
proposes their reform. But Inidelity alone
rejects repentance and goes for their annihi-
lation. Alas for the slave if his chains are
to remain until the tender mercies of Come
outism file them off. 1t is Infdelity that
keeps the slave in bondage. When Chris
tianity is believed and practised by a maiori-
ty Of the South, the slave will be free. 1t is
the infidelity OF the slaveocracy that perpetu-
ates the 'vilest system that ever saw the SUM-.
While the slaveocracy possess this measure
of infidelity Tin practice at leas) the Come
outer would thrust away the law that further
r~estrains them, and dash in pieces the church,
with all its institutions, leaving the poor slave
at the mercy alone of the passions, and the
revenge of his enemy, without the influences
of the Institutions of the Christian church, TO
break down these unhallowed passions and
open his prison door to lead him out, TO be-
come heir to all the blessings of irecdom.-

that their outside covering be taken oil, and
let all men sec their real purpose. They have
no Just claims TO the anti-slavery character.

long since, "when | attack the church the in-

work for them. Where is there an %institu-

that its conclusions are not logically correct,
The work proves that Shareholders are inf.
dels, and in proving this, it proves that tho
Episcopal Methodists (they being slavehol-
ders,) are infdels. 1t proves also that the
religion of the NJ. f. Church is a warfare up
on Christianity. The writer of the foregoing
communication, when he admits that sit i,

admits that those who keep the slave in bon

sion involves the NJ. f. Church in inGdelity
