He hsi certainly understood t. but was gsd to know
,b.,it was NOT so Mr. l. concluded By saying that he
was ready 10 vote for such paper ss that offered oy the
President though he would have greatly preferred that
the subject should not be introduced 81 all.
TOur report of Mr. LrLIIEs remarks on Saturday did
ne, do him quite justice owing to te loss OF our full
notes of his speech and to hsste By which one or two
words omitted. we sdouu Lave neuo nih saJ
that he would not now take such extreme ground as
wholly 10 refuse fellowship with Christians because
thew were shareholders" Mr.. l.. still claims to be an
Abolitionist
Dr. BoSp proposed that the vote should now be taken
Rev Mr. ircKY proposed that Or. PATRONS substi-
nlte should first be discussed
DR. DIN made some explanations. What they want
ed basis on which they could bring IN contrieu
tons from all quarters. II they should only combine
half the Presbyerisns half the Mehodsts twoud not
be what they desired. Those bodies were already
tseraby united within themselves.
Rev Mr. WILSON spoke 81 length on the general pur-
noses and history OF the Alliance IL was great promise
OF the millennium and Satan had shown himself active in
opposition to it, He went on to argue against the intro
ducon of slavery. They must rice above al minor oh
ecs they would DO anything worthy OF this great cause
lie approved in word OF the proposition by Dr. OIIN be-
yond all others not because Il expressed his mind on
the subject Slavery but because came the nearest OF
All to giving the subject the goby and that without as
signing much reason He against any such dscrmi
nation as that advocated by several of the speakers
Rev Mr.. McCRAN recognized distinction between
different classes OF Shareholders. He spoke at length
against Slavery.
'Dr LEWIS moved that the second paragraph of the
fifth article be appended to Dr. OLINS resolution and
spoke in detail in favor OF using mild language.
Dr. BOND could not vote for tho resolution, should It
be so amended.
Dr. LANsrvG thought that If they wished to promote
union throughout the Christian world, they must first
have union among themselves. He had fire enough in
him to come up the amendment Of brother PATTON
that said what he wished 10 have sud. He could also
90 little down and vote for the resolution Of the Pre-
dent that was modification and reduction Of brother
PArrONs; he had also made up his mind 10 go Little
lower and take the resolution OF brother OLiN. III ne
could not have what ne wanted ne would take wnst n
could get But he could not 90 for the amendment oil
his venerable and esteemed Brother LEWIS There
would be some contradiction between the paragraph TO
be- added and the gnsl proposition OF brother OLIN
Dr OrrSs resolution would ease his conscience and he
went for il because they could not unite an any other
proposition. -, . 49, ,s
Or PATTON speaking ofthe phrase moral discipline,
which stood in Dr. OLIN's resolution, said that his oh
lection was that many Churches at tho South had no
moral discipline at all. or rather had very immoral
one He should like the latter part of DR.. OLINs reso
luton without any of the powwow in front OF IT, He
would strike out all that and leave merely the declara
ton on the subject OF Slavery.
DR.. OLIN explained that there was good reason for
the former part of his resolution although Dr. PATTON
thought very lightly Of it,
DR.. BOND agreed with Dr. OLrN
Dr. PATTON suggested another amendment.
DR. PECK did not agree with Dr. LANSING that DR..
OLIN's resolution not the only ground on which
they could unite II majority did not upon IT,
they might pass 10 some other, until they found one
on which they could agree.
The CHAIR asked the permission Of The house TO make
few remarks without the tormay of leaving his place
lie came expecting that Slavery would be introduced
He was impressed with the necessity of defining who
they would receive into the Alliance. He had thought
il their duty to reject fellowship with Shareholders and
save.traders and to exclude them under all circum
But he had heard great deal of interesting
and instructive argument, and had somewhat modified
his opinion II in America they should not be able to
sustain the Alliance it would be- humiliation, 1t would
be triumph of evil. After prsyerful reflection he had
come 10 the solemn decision that ii they took any TAR
Their action the subject of Slavery than they
compelled by the fact that the subject had been intro
duced they should be liable 10 the accusation Of having
under false preensions They could te accused OF
hayng formed an Abolition Society while meeting TO
form a Christian Union. He hated Slavery, and had
always been Anti Slavery man He hated 1t inteecu
ally he hated il senmentsy, he hated politically and
above all he hated regiousy The churches TO which
they beloDged-he had sometimes had his doubts
whether they not the only lawful societies for the
promotion OF Temperance, the observance of the Sab
bath and for every other associated purpose He
times thought imputation the Great Head of the
Church form other societies for the promotion Of good
objects than that which He had formed But here they
came not church. not ss a denomination, not In an
ecclesiastical capacity, but individuals He hoped
they would, far ss possible leave Temperance,
Slavery &c TO the associations formed to promote those
causes The speaker then went to express his pre-.
ference for the line Of action laid down In bis reso
luton
Dr. BAIRD wished to hear the resolution Of Dr. OLIN
and that of the Chairman read again before the
taken. He should prefer that the subject had never
been introduced; but il was and they could not get
rid OF without saying something he should prefer the
resolution OF the President
The resolution OF Dr. OLrN was then adopted l6 to H.
DR.. LANSING proposed that the vote should be con-
sidered unanimous one.
DR.. PATTON objected TO doing this. He could not
appear 10 vote for what he could not agree to.
Rev. Mr.. WHEELocK moved a reconsideration OF the
vote but he had not voted for il his motion not
allowed.
Rev. Mr. LILLE then moved reconsideration which
carried.
Some one said Let US vote again without discussion"
Rev. Mr.. WHEELocK could not speak out in favor of
the purity of Southern Churches
An amendment was suggested and adopted by the su.
thor OF the resolution.
call was then made for the reading of the Presi-
dents resolution
Rev. Mr.. LILLE suggested farther amendment of
Dr. OLINs resolution; Dr. PATTON wished to have the
same amendment and DIR. OLTN would not object to
sny that should retain the concilisory spirit of the
luton Mr.. WILSON opposed the amendment.
Dr. OLIN thought the proposition Of the President
might be construed In two ways He believed the
mover meant as the best way Of getting into the posi-
ton held by them before the subject Of Slavery in
trodueed But It might also be taken as indicating that
an nqustors investigation Of private and re
iauons was 10 be made by the Alliance.
Dr. BOND was afraid that with so much amendment
the resolution would be like Yankee ship which had
been so much repaired have part OF the original
ship but an auger hole. He loDged for unanmity and
suggested that they should Join in prayer.
Dr. LEwIs in an earnest prayer implored the Divine
Mercy and besought the decision Of Heaven In the case
DR.. OLINs resolution was then finally adopted by
nearly unanimous vote, Mr.. CLANCY only voting in the
negative
The following then stands as the declaration Of tho
