9th. My position with regard to the Yves
leyans inviting 10 their communion members
of pro-slavcry churches is, that it is shame
fully Inconsistent so to do. 1t is virtually
acknowledging that they are right, i. C. good
Christians. Further, if the Wesleyans can
fellowship a part of a pro-slavery body, they
can the whole, and if they can fellowship the
whole Of an awfully corrupt Church, they had
as well 90 back from whence they came
But the man of charity says, @ hush /! we
can certainly invite the anti-slavery members
of other churches to our communion, without
in the remotest sense fellowshipping a pro-
slavery organization. Let US look: what do
those anti-slavery members! Why they fell
lowship the man thief, and the Wesleyan
man of charity fcllowships them, i. G. he fell
lowships them that fellowship them that sell
the Image Of their God yea, that sell Jesus
Christ himself i. the person Of his servants,
and call upon the entire Wesleyan connection
to fellowship that part Of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, and every other pro-slavery
Church, that fellowships the part that by
depressing the poor, causes the name of God
every day to be biasphemed. To conclude
the story, | would remark, That argument
amounts to this, and nothing more or less
that the Anti Slavery members Of other
churches my to-day kn eel side by side,
in communion, with heir slave-holding bre-
thren whose entire persons are dripping with
blood, and tomorrow the Wesleyans invite
them to come and kneel with them, and eat
with them the flesh, and drink with them the
blood of Jesus Christ. Oh, consistency,
show myself this once! Let me respond to
the call no nsrer will | adopt the sentiments
of Wesleyan fellowship, if it be to fellowship
TIE demon man-thief, though it shout lead to
my accommodation Immediately.
From the foregoing, the careful reader can
ascertain the faith OF one who feels deeply on
the subject of reform, which faith | intend to
practice whilst | have any probationary be-

Judging from what we had heard of our
friend Selby, and from his former commune
cation, we had supposed that his vision was
clear in relation to the only true position that
Aboliti onlsts can occupy, but in the forego-
ing letter we find GOOD Lord Good De-
vii !" all in the same &eath. He says he is
a Disunionist, but sympathizes with Liberty
Pa rty. This seems to US a moral impos-
sibility. The foundation principle OF
Disunion, is the pro-slavery character of the
U. S. Constitution, and the sinfulness of vo-
UNFAIRLY sustaining, or promising to sustain
it, while the doctrine by which Liberty Par

it. The fac: that both parties have the abo-
lition Of slavery in view, would be no reason
why they should harmonic, nor Is our friend

sincerely believes that voting for Henry Clay
is the best means to destroy the system on
the contrary, so far from sympathizing with
him, he will not even fellowship him as a
Christian. If he sympathizes with, and ex'
tends the right hand of church fellowship tc
those, who, to abolish slavery, maintain a
pro-slavery Constitution, why withhold fel.
lowship and christian communion from those,
who to effect the same end, support a pro-
slavery candidate or party! We hope that
by further Investigation and reflection he may
be enabled to see the Inconsistency of his pc,
sition, and learn where the truth is. Let moi
him or others think that we lack charity, fol
although VIC cannot sympathize with Liberty
Party, we have sympathy with members O
that party, as we also have with Wings and
Democrats, and all who have suffered for the
slaves sake.
Our limits will not permit us to say more
