The Hartford Religious Herald, commenting up
on the resolutions of the Synod of New York and
New Jersey, which we published last week, hits
them of finely, rs follows
At the recent meeting of the New School Synod
of New York and New Jersey, the subject of sla-
very came up for discussion; and very proper
subject il was, seeing that large portion of the
New School Presbyterian church are involved in
the sin Of slaveholding. After prolonged DEBATE
and no small excitement, aud when some half a
dozen resolutions had been offered and proved un-
satisfactory, a vote was finally passed, declaring
that the whole subject was submitted to Divine
Providence, and ought not to be hereafter agitated
in any way in the judicatories of the church! Did
our readers ever meet with so submissive spirit
and such noteworthy manifestati, Of confidence
in God? They were so certain that God would do
what was wise and right with reference to slavery,
and that in respect TO time, measures and instru-
mentalities, that they willing to trust it who'll
y to him without further interference ON their
part Indeed they were anxious that mono of their
co-religionists should disturb the operation of Pro
violence, by untimely or unwise agitation, and
therefore frowned an awful frownupon all disposed
to guch imrious measures Truly we stand amazed
