The AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.-We find the
following statement made on the authority of Mr..
James Vincent in The Manchester Eng Examiner
and Times:
" The American Tract Society il OF the oldest
religious publishing societies in the United States 1t
is sustained by several Of the orthodox denominations
revolving fact in connection with this institution is
that from all its tracts and volumes of books the sub
ject of Slavery is excuded-not by accident, but upon
system. While other sins are exposed, and measured
and judged by the prime of the gospel this great
est Sin of ALL because it is the sum of ALL is protected
Had the society been faithful Slavery would not now
be the giant evil that it is. The strength the popa
larity the increase and the extension of Slavery, 49,
in great measure chargeable upon this society, and
Others pursuing like course, because of the ignor
snce which everywhere prevails through their sup
preston OF the tfuth One fact only,
in addition TO what have already said, is needfu to
show the spirit of corruption which has been infused
into the American Tract Society. j. j. Quincy wrote
an essay on the Habitual Exercise of Love to God
He showed that this exercise was inconsistent with
oppression that man could not hold property in man.
and in most emphatic manner applied the principles
of the gospel TO Slavery. The American Tract So-
ciety would be no party to promulgate such senti-
ments. They were under no obligations to publish
the essay at all but they did not however, until they
had mutiated IT, The principles might be directed
against some other sin, but not against Slavery SO
they wandered to Europe to find sin to substitute,
and BY some means they happened on one that we
used TO read about it III Foxs Book of Martyrs,
the InQu,s,tion. will take up no more OF your space
by detailing facts as notorious as the above
