tune, as frpught with unconstitutional tendencies,
and as calculated to awaken unIeigucd alarm for
the continued peace and unity of our churches.
Ai.cr some discussion, this was finally postponed
in order to allow Rev Dr. Cox to introduce tlc fol
lowing which he prclaccd with few remarks up
on the incNrcdcncy Of any further agtationOf the
subject;
7 Resolved, That on the subject Of slavery, it is
the Judgment Of the Synod that no good is likely to
result from cccsastical action in reference to it,,
either in this Synod or in the General Assembly,
and therefore to leave II all to tho inferior udcnto-
rics Of the church, and to the government Of Etcr-
nal Providence. with prayer for our country in all
it's sections and for our church in all It's interests
is more excellent way, and practically cur proper
wisdom.
