"We have no doubt it will be said ~ adds
the News, "by Mr.. Campbelrs followers,
that we are mlsrepresenling his views upon
his great question. We appeal TO the lee
ture now before us, and also to the following
quotation from a pamphlet published in Bos-

President Shannon, Bacon College. one of
the most eminent of this sect, concludes a
Bible argument in favor Of Slavery thus =
"'Thus did Jehovah STEREOTYPE HIS APP

The News, then, to set more fully before
its readers the position Of Mr.. Campbell,
quotes lhe passages we have already given
from the Millenial lIarbinger, and closes its
article as follows:
"Mr. Campbell says, that from his under
standing of The Bible, Old Testament and
New, he is constrained to take the position
he now occupies. But we cannot forget that
MIR. Campbell has studied the Bible amid
the baneiul influences of Slavery, and there
fore we cannot take his Interpretation as the
mind of the Spirit on this subject. We have
some hope, however, that he will see the
matter In a new light, and that he will carry
home with him some of the true Ant. Slave

A similar reception to that in Edinburgh,
met Mr.. Campbell in Glasgow. Our watch
full friends of the Emancipation Society
on his arrival there to give a series OIL
lectures on Evangelical Reformation-a sub.

from personal experience be a most %ellicien
ecturer-had posted a large bill warning tht
citizens against him, as one who was eth,

endeayoTed TO remove the stigma of pro-sla
very which had been fixed upon him both il
Edi96qgh and Glasgow, and declared tina
rfTe OPPOSITION he met with uroso, not from
any love to the slave, but to prevent the pro
gress Of the Evangelical Reformation which
he advocated. Adverting to the challenge
which had been given him in Edinburgh, he
said that i, was not given till after it was
known that his time was pre-occupied. He
challenged any person to meet him now up
on that subject, in discussion in the public
papers, or in debate. How much sincerity
there was in his allegation that a want Of time
prevented him from meeting his challenger
in Edinburgh, we may Judge from the fact,
that he attached asa proviso to his own chal-
lenge in Glasgow, that the debate should take
place in LirerpoOi, between the 24th and 9th
Of September! AT that time, he said, he
should embark for the United States.
We wish our Scottish friends an equally
speedy and happy deliverance from every
pro-slayery American divine who shall have
the hardIhood to visit them for the purpose Of
enlightening those benighted regions upon
the necessity of Evangelical Reformation.-
