We drew the attention of our readers not long
since, to the action Of the South Carolina Branch
Of the American Tract Society, in view Of the
stand taken BY that body at ito last meeting, as to
Slavery. We sho@ed how the instinct of slave
holding told them what was the true intent and
meaning Of the Society that took the oflea.iye
action, and this in spite Of tie Epistle Particular
to the Southern Churches dispatched prvily By the
Rev. Messrs. Hallock and EASTMAN Secretaries to
the Board, explaining that il m cant nothiog Of the
Kind, and that, if it did, the Board might be de-
perded upon for doing nothing Of the sort 1t tried
10 pacfy the alarmed Christians at the South,
troubled with weakness for man stealiog by init
mating that the Board was q Religious CircumlO-
cutlon Office, and undertOod to perfection Glow
not to do it," even after they had accepted office
under specific instructions that they should do it.
But all this holy oil was poured upon
the troubled waters in vain. The waves still
roll mountain. high, and the Reverend Secretaries
will have to perform humber gepufexions yet be.
fore the storm can be alayed. Notwithstanding
the humiliation Of their stitude before the South
and regardless of the fair play which should pre-
vent The cbivary at least, from striking men that
are down as fat as they can be, the Board and the
Secretaries have received smother "sockdologer"
night between thieves. The thirty seventh Annual
Baptist State Convention Of South Carolins was
held last month at Greenwood, aud this matter of
the Tract Society ard Slavery WAS referred to

because 60 thoroughly deserved that sit is in vais

"'fa,bers and brethren in the ministry, and those
"'that control the religious press, to refrain from

vein Of imagery that AbolltOD.m can No more Do

than "you can keep out frog from your grouod'
"by posting notice at the gate, warning on all
"noxious vspor.' Putting their feet fiat on the
necks Of the unhappy Secretaries the Committee
ended its report with the following resolutions,
about which there can be no mistake, such as those
Of the Society North is liable TO.
81. Resolred, That this Convention regards the
late action Of the American Tract Society, on the SUD
jet of Slavery, as unconstitutional ana ue)ust ana
especially offensive breathing restless persistent
disposition to NEEDLE with what does not belong 10
them.
"2. Resolred, That the members of this body can
not contribute funds to the American iract society.
DOrreccPnize ts agents or colporteurs WINE the action
referred to remains unretraced; and that we advise
ouI brethren and friends throughout the State 10 ADOPT
@ Fin liar course.
Now, we think it is very clear that the Board and
|
lens. If they are for God or for Baal, they must
say so unequivocslly. The society must either
hun bic itself and make satisfaction to the slave
drivers next May, or give up Whatever comfort
they can find in their society, and whatever help
they can draw from their purses. The danger
attending the first alternative will be the withdrawal
Of Northern confidence and contributions. As to
the latter half the Board can only cay for itself
how much it values the Christian ello wshp of the
s!avedlivers: bu! we would most stfectiOnately
suggest that the ready money does not come from
that quarter Of the armament We would remind
them of the fact in religious statistics, that last
year two Presbyterian Churches of this city con-
tributed more than twice as much to the cause Of
missions as the two entire SyuOds of Virginia
and North Carolina! We venture to say tina. the
proportion of contributions to the Tract Society is
about tie same as in this case. Az men of bust
ness, We should advise them to stick by the North,
az The best psymaster. But it is for them to
choose between the two horns Of their own
dilemma.

and that he kept tic saerauent money ani funds
contributed for the repair Of the church. Ihe's
were the main allegations, only with some fuller
specifications q, TO times and seasons and Tor these
the reverend gentleman brought b" action for
damages. Under the new state OF the law Is "
evidence, both the plaintiff and defendant were
called and examined. The plaintiff dsnied oil the
charges against him, affirming that the sacrament
accounts were always Opeu to the parish for nspec-
tiop and as to the charge of drunkenness, that ne
bad been for several years forbidden to use wine on
account of bis health, and had entirely abstaned-
though the restriction had since been taken Oh.
Lady Harrington denied having made the accusations
in the form attributed to her, explaining that some
of the worst of them referred to some former
curates of Mr.. Highmore. She admitted having
said that che would not take the sacra nent from
him. because he was such bad man. Her expla'
nations, however had not much weight with the
Jury, who returned verdict for the plaintiff, with
damages in ESQ.
Of course there is secret history to this scandal
Gus matter that does not appear from the trial. The
vicar was appointed by the late Earl who was also
prince in the days when the dandies reigaed famous
under his courtesy title Of Lord Petershau, which
We remember be gave to top coat, or some piece
Of apparel or other As Mr. Highmore swore that
be had never had any personal acquaintance with
the present Countess, and as the curate testified
that she ,aid that the vicar, in company with the
late earl and countess hsd been seen rolling on the
floor drunk together, the quarrel bad probably
cone down from the days Of the last lord and lady
Of the castle. This last specification Lady Har-
rpptou particularly coutradicted, saying tina: the
ate earl was one of the soberess .: men; anu,
we do not much misremember, be too was one Of
the few persons of high rank in England who en-
couraged tie Temperance Movement. But all this
is of no particular consequence. Ono thing IN
evidence, however, was noticeable. The vicar testi'
fed that memorial window was to be put into the
church to the memory Of the late countess, and
that he had subscribed G25 toward it. Now the
late Countess of Harrington was the celebrated
Maria Foote, the actress, famous for her beauty
ard her gallanty and especially for her long iaisoa
with Col. Berkeley, now Earl Fitzhardinge. After
its cessaiiOn-she having borne him family of
chidren-she married the late Earl Of Harrington.
We know nothing Of her history in this last rela-
ton, and can only hope that she was worthy Of
being Joined to the saints-or, at least, to the Mag
duIens-whose virtues are usually commemorated
in the storied windows of Christian churches.
