My DEAR SIR | duly received your favor of

A REJECTED TRACT.
New YORK, June l8tl

EDIroRs OF THE INDEPENDENT ;---Dear ,Sirs -
Some time ago announced through the Independ-
ent thata tract, to which II prize of two hundred
dollars had been awarded by Rev. Drs. Wayland
and Clark, Of Providence, DR.. Brown, of Edin
burgh, and c. Stoddard. Esq, of Boston, had been
sent by me to the Publishing Committee Of the
American Tract Society," according to the instruc-
tions received from the donor of the premium.
have been often asked concerning the fate of that
tract and, at the request of my friend in Glasgow,
would ask place in your columns for the fol.
lowing correspondence, which sufficiently xplains
itself.
1t will be observed that this tract was rejected
before the action of the Tract Society ~ pu 5ish
tracts upon Slavery upon 'other moral evils"
Yours truly,

DEAR BROTHER TIE members of the Publish
ing Committee resident in this city and vicinity,
have all read, in connection. with your courteous
note, the manuscript on Slavery submitted by you
at the request of gentleman in Scotland; and al
their meeting held this day were unanimous in the
Judgment that it is not adapted for publication by
this Society.
With respect and esteem,

affected by Slavery" and yet found to be ono,
adapted for publication" by the American Tract
Society. Ii is great pity the Committee did not
condesoend to say why it was not so adspted--
Possibly it was too lukewarm, and did not de-
nounco feallessly enough the enornity of that sin
which is paralyzing moral sense as a nation,
and which is fruitful of more evils than all the
other sins concreted which the Tract Society have
found occasion TO condemn in their publications.
"Not adapted for publication" Why is it not
adapted2 1t is to be hoped that the resolutions
passed at the recent annual meeting are not a
mockery-that it is not intended to shirk this great
question. If this tract lis not adapted" I call
upon the Secretary CT the Tract Society to let US
know the reason why; and l believe that the
Christian public will either demand honest and
faithful fulflment of the pledges given at the So
cietys meeting, else insist that the directors
shall resign their trust into the hands Of men
who will more faithfully represent their sentiments

A HuGE LIE WELL Sworn To.-It will be seem
by reference to the testimony Of the Deputy U. s.
KidnappeIs, (says tho Xenia Torch Liyhi of the
18th inst.) that j. q. Elliot and j. N. Trader,
two Of the meanest of the gang, swear that at the
time Of the arrest near Lumberton they were set
upon by disorderly crowd Of from 60 to 100 men,
armed with all sorts of deadly instruments.
Everybody here knows this to be utterly aud total
ly false. At the immediate time of the arrest by,
Sheriff Lewis there with him four persons.
and his whole posse amounted to just seuentecn.
After the arrest, more or less of the citizens
around Lumberton, but still not reaching near
the number specified by these vagabonds, gather
ed in to see how the criminals looked.

Tho Charleston Mercury promulgates the follow
ing new scheme of slavery The laws of Con-
gress carrying GU. the power given to Congress by
the Constitution prohibits the African Sdre Trade,
and makes that trade piracy But if importing ne
groes as emigrants fIom Africa is not the Slave
Trade then the laws of Congress do not apply to It,
We suppose emigrants from Africa may just as le-
be brough into the United States as en-
igrants from Germany or Ireland. Nor will. the
circumstances Of agreement being previously
made for employment and wages, at all affect the
legality of the importation Hundreds, thousands
are being imported daily from Europe under agree.
ments with the manufacturers of New England, to
carry on their factories If the Government of the
United States shall, therefore, determine that the
importation of negroes from the African coast, by
England and France, emigrants in tho West
India Islands, is not the African Slave Trade then
the whole trade of bringing negroes from Africa is
also open to the Southern States. What becomes
OF the negroes after they imported into State
will be affair of the State. The General Gov.
ernment can have nothing to do with it. The en-
forcement of any contract for wages will be entire
ly within the jurisdiction of the Courts of the
States. And if public opinion, or the real under
standing of the emigrants, establishes practically
that they shall be slaves there is redress by any
other authority than that of the States in which
they are located"

Resolced That in the attempt now seemingly
being made, to compel tho citizens of the sovereign
State of Ohio to aid and assist Shareholders to keep
their fellow men in bondage,we have sympathy,
but utterly repudiate any such tyrannical and op-
pressiye conpulsion.
Resolved, That ready and hereby express
our determination, to stand by and assist our
patriotic and faithful officer in any responsibility,
pecuniary or otherwise, he may have incurred in
the above stated premises
ReSotred That we deeply deprecate any intru-
sion on the right of "habeas corpus" and will to
the last, in any lawful way necessary, defend and
maintain its due and legitimate exercise secured
to us by the Constitution OF the United States, as
well as that VI our own State. .-.
