Mr. VAsDYcK proceeded 20 s,y that these men were
AboitioDi-.s, and they sood up aud denounced the
system Of Slavery q sin against God. That was
tie unanimous ation of the assembly.
Various gentlemen called for the reading Of the whole
of that report but the chair saed that Air. Naadyck
would proceed with his remarks as he chose.
Mr. VANDYCK tbernron made an objection 70 the
application of the name which the North Caroioians
wished to preseye-the clss,is OF toe German Re-

he thought that If ne 10 rtl C>rol'na he sh )uld

Consstories bad protested oDgly against this union,

The Rev Dr. HoEs opposed the reception of the
casss or the ground of the discussion which would
thereby be created The church. He regretted, 100,
the tendency which the church was showing 70 favor
Slavery.
The Rev. Mr.. WHITEHEAD favored the reception. !
One ground he took was that il the duty OF the
Dutch church TO repair the evil which had been begun
by the Dutch. He adverted 10 the fact that the hrst
cargo Of slaves ever landed in this country Tas IRON
Dutch ship. BY admitting the North Carol ma classs
they might bring the Christian influence of the church
10 bear against Slavery in North Carolina.
The Rev. II. ID. G,ssE said that il the question

would vote agsiDst-not because he could hsye rel

bu. because he regarded voluntary slayehoding "a

churches withou' any condemnation upon our part OF
Slavery IA a system would lmpicate u before the
world a. the approves OF it. He sai1 that il needed
particular cIcumstar ces 10 excuse the hodlog OF
slaves. These be insisted existed in thu case Of the
saveholdirg which could claim any countenance from
the word OF God This position illustrated in

AID be Insisted there not word between the
covers of the Bible that excused the voluntary no ding
Of slaves 10 our day. Inc argument OF Dr. nov
proved too much. Though scri ,ture exhorted slaves
10 bear their yobes yet it did not say that yokes were
right by any me ans.
DR.. How said he had no. coptended tina. Slavery
right He said it was one Of the penal effects OF
the fall.
Mr. GAYsE said that murder and lust were also the
