&c Picture of Slapery.''- This is the title of
the book written by the Rev. j. d. Long,
which was rejected by tho NJ. Il. 7. Association
in Philadelphia, which act led to the attack in

been preferred against Mr., l.. by Rev. Mr.
Quigley, and they will come up before the mex
annual Conference of the M. Il. church, il no
Withdrawn:
l. Misrepresenting the Philadelphia Confer

H. -. L. aRh Han
and Delaware.
8. disappearing the ministers who hay
: labored in Maryland and Delaware.
: a. disappearing the members of the VI

8. disappearing the colored people.
The accusation designates the pages of th
