Ministers.

The protest of 40 Freewill Baptist Min
listers against Slavery, which will be found
below, is a noble document. Manly and
Christian in its tone, explicit and full in its
declarations, consistent and straight forward
in its pledge of action, against the great evil
and curse Of the nation, both in church and
state, it is an honor to the men whose names
are attached to it, and to the denomination
of Christians they represent.
The Freewill Baptists do not vie with
their brethren of other Names, in costly edif-
ces and exterior appliances of worship but
in single-hearted fidelity to Christian princi-
pie, they furnish an example worthy of uni
versal imitation. Let Christian Ministers
and Laymen of all denominations, as they
read the Freewill Baptist Protest against
Slavery, ask themselves if every Christian is
not bound to take the same high ground, and
carry it oct rigidly to all its legitimate results,
in action. Let the Christians of this Union
adopt the principles of this Protest, and act
accordingly, and slavery is abolished imme-
diately.-Granite Freeman.
Protest and declaration Of sentiment Of Free

Whereas, the system Of American Slave

where il exists and the Mountaineering

ity, injuring our reputation, and darkening
our prospects; but it is also a direct viola

fore, we, the undersigned, ministers of tn
Free-will Baptist ConneXion, consider it OIL
duty to state definitely our views and posi-
ton upon this subject, and to present befor
the world our solemn Protest against III,
continuance of this fearful outrage upon hu'

Believing, as we do, that the sympathy o
no holy being in the Universe can for a mo
ment be given to this foul system, and tina
neither the principles of the Gospel, nor in
d~ications of Providence constitute the least
apology for its continuance, we wish public

tons now existing, which seems TO give "a
each of us the character and reputation of the
body, unless by personal public dissent from
their errors and crimes we throw the respon.
sibility exclusively upon those who support
the evils of which we complain, renders il
more necessary for us to announce our un.
willingness to sanction the system Of Slave
ry in any manner whatever.b The view thus
taken of this subject will render il perfectly
inconsistent for us to give our suffrage or re-
liglous influence for the support Of Slavery.
We, therefore, by refusing to support Sla-
very, its principles, or its advocates, and nv
Withholding Christian and church fellowship
from all guilty of the sin Of slavery, and by
remembering those in bonds, as bound with
them, would wish to wash our hands from
the guilt Of this %iniquity.
Believing our principles just, and the DO
sltlon which we occupy such as God can ap-
prove and defend, and trusting in Almighty
Grace, we pledge for the support of these
principles, and those in which they are en-
bodied, our earnest prayers, our combined in
P"ence, and our most rigorous Efforts.

Such hypocrisy! We give all honor 10 the

faith the man who, while he loves his creed
and his church, looks on them only as means
to bless his human brothers, and proves his
love to God by his fdithfulncss 10 man. He
may be mlsiaken-his form may not be ours
but from our soui we revere and bless hiIn
as a God-sent soluble friend of humanity.
We have no quarrel with the church for its
opinions Of dancing any more than for its the
cries Of theology. it is welcome to them,
and we care not how zealously they are main
tanned, but We do have cause of complain, IN
its silence towards the most s%rievous sins of
the land /; still more for its apology and de-
fence for those sins, and its neglect of their
suffering viclims-nor shall we cease to com
plain ill the evil ceases. The clergy try TO
shield this inhumanily by texts of scripture,
which, they tell us, prove slavery to have
been authorized or permitted. DO any Of
them ever hunt for such authority for dancing
or a violation of the Sabbath! They would
be at no loss for texts, if they found these
practices so popular, as to make it unsafe to
assail them. Their course towards these
sweeps away the only ingenious excuse they
have ever had for standing aloof from The
cause of the slave. 1t proves that they know
and acknowledge their duty 10 expose and
abolish sin, tout of their own mouths they
are condemned" Nothing that concerns
human welfare, that will bless the lot of man,
or humanize this great broken brotherhood,
is "extraneous" to Christianity, or the true
church. This our popular churches will be
forced TO admit and act upon, or they will be
dashed TO fragments by the growing human
ity of the age.

tons, we are happy to believe. Many there
are, 100 we know, who mourn over % state
OF lhings they cannot remedy in their present
connection. We will not reproach them with
cowaraice, or lack of principle. Perhaps
they mink we have gone Too fast, while We

are willing 10 trust to future developments to

we ASK you TO examine your position careful
ly, IN view OF your duty 10 God, II Christ,
the Church' the world, and the suffering mil
lions OF crushed and bleeding slaves, and see
1t yours Is not a wrong position.
we now present ourselves to the world as
a PRESBYTERIAN denomination, embracing full
ly the doctrines of the reformstion, as en-.
bodied In the Confession Of Faith, and adopt
ing the Presbyterian Form of Government.
We are indeed Few in numbers, but in this
we are not without illustrious precedents, and
we trust that the Lord will add to us of such
as shall be saved.

desire TO be associated with all our anti-slave-
ry brethren who adopt, with us. the same
Constitution. And we intend planting our

lea, the Lord will enable us so TO do. And
we say to our anti-slavery brethren, Old
Schooi, and New, come out from your pro-
slavery associations and unite with us in sup
porting a Presbyterianisn pure in its doctrines
and government, and free from the polluting
Influences of Slavery. In Europe, Presbyte-
rianlsm has been trammelled by connection
with civil government, and in this country it
has always been corrupted and paralyzed by
its connection with slaveholding. Now let
the experiment be made of what pure and un-
trammeled Presbyterianism can accomplish
in retaining and saving (as Gods instru-
ment,) our fallen race. "Come out from
