Surely, Church which provides against the very aaom
sous case of mans marrying his niece has right to
inquire whether its members sell each other into the
meIcess clutches Of Levdness and break their mar
rsge unions as if they the casual associations Of
cattle. And as this inquiry into Southern PresbIteri'
an worship must necessarily be entrusted to those most
interested in whitening the outside Of the tePulcher,
there could be no rational doubt that the Repor, would
be as apologize ard vanishing truth could possibly
allow.
We cannot believe then, that the Southern Presby-
teries will be so mslairOit plead guilty to this ten

can do great deal better, and far to their own
advantage by accedng the proposed inquiries and so
conducting them that they will amount to nothing, or
prove that the worst abuses Of Slavery receive
tenance from and reflect no discredit upon the New
School Presbyeres Of the South And this presume,
will be the course, on reflection, adopted.
