Mr.. TrIIrY Of Tennessee, hoped that both reports

Of inspiration could he find the command,
thou sbalt not hold slave, while in
both the New and Old Teptamens he found that
Slavery was recognized. They need not expect to
change the views Of the South. They might resolve
as much as they pleased, and the Church in the South
would cling to them in Christan love; but if they

ity report but he said the last agent to rise in the
world TO TCVOutOnZea country was TO point the huger

action would be To- make their Southern brethren more
pTo-Slavery than ever. -

under the constitution but by the law of Goi-the
Higher Law. if they pleased TO call 1t so-5ave them
that right He was a STAKEHOLDER; but if they estab
