On the fourth resolution, which If SUI uIcer con-

frequently interrupted with Questions, and made some

ministers bearing the best credentials before they

But the great reason why this Convention cannot 90
10 the Oa School now il, that they are not prepared
70 nd,nt our views on Slavery. The Doctor here de-
cared that all the opinions on the SUBJECT Oh slavery
could be raDeod under one or the oer Oh uree theories

Tie o.d0intd theory is the which the Doctor an
