New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1857-06-03

The journal OF Commerce makes WHY faces at our
recent structures on the Southern Aid Society, as
was TO be expected, and misrepresents them, as
was rather to be expected than desired. 1t says:
"THE TRIBUNE is in especial trouble about this So
ciety Either from its infdel tendencies II does not
believe the Gospel be of any vaae, or else is 80
vndictve that il cannot bear that STAKEHOLDER should
have chance of being saved on any terms
No, Sirs! THE TRIBUNE believes the Gospel Of
nestimable value if fearlesly preachedn it's purity
and fallness: otherwise, it is not so certain. 1t
holds that a STAKEHOLDER, precisely Like any body
else, may be saved BY repent:sg Of and t0rsas'ng
his siss We know no other way; but cur tkeo-
logical training is limited and we are willing to
receive further instruction. But how people are 30
be expected or induced to forsase their sinsif the
evangests are required and constrained 70 keep
silence with regard to those sinO; we cannet im-
agne.
We will not be misunderstood or this point. The
Journal proceeds nest mistakenly to say that
THE Gosuel of the Bible-the whole Bbe-the
South is willing TO hear and does hear whenever II
has an opportunity. The Gospel of The TRIBUNE
and of GaTisO1s Lt6er,tOr the South viii not near
The TRIBUNf's difficulty is, that it mistakes ADO
lonism for the Gospel aud will either give the South
Mai or nothing. Such friends the SOuthern-Aid So
u
has a right to expect, and can afford TO bear.
Now, The TRIBUNE has never proposed to send
me Gospel to the South ii all. 1t is not our voca
ton We believe the same is the fact with regard
to The LiJerator. 1t is the American Home Mis-
senary Society that has undertaken to difuse re-
lrious truth throughout the Slave States, and has
for years been engaged in doing so. That Society
has nothing to do with THE TRIBUNE, nor we with
TIE Society. Il is made up of the most active and
JEALOUS portion Of the Orthodox Churches-that
portion most intent on haEing the Gospel COM
mended to every creature. That Society dOes not
preach to nor require Of the South INN sdiate,
unconditional emancipation. Here COPIED from
The Journal) is its rule of action with regard to
Slavery:
"Resolred, That in the disbursement Of the funds
committed to their trust the Committee Will not grant
old 10 the churches containing slavehOldng members,
ess evidence be furnished that the relation is such
o. in the judgm mt of the Committee, is ustab for
he time being, N the peculiar circumstances in which
t exists"
Here you see, is no hint OF refusing to preach the
Gospel to sinners because they are sinners or for
any reason whatever. There is not even a require
mert that the saints shall b. shareholders, but
simply that they shall have some other excuse than
the love Of gain for holding men, women and chill
dren in perpe .ual bondage. Is not this moderate
Is il not enable 1t sarely was not lmPolied
BY The 1RisUNE, but We cannot see wherein a
a Christian should demur to it.
Let us briefly illustrate. We find in that model
of conservative Christianity and candOr, The Mc-
York Express, copied from The Boston Tr0yssr),
the following
TALK WITH $ SLAVE GIRL:
O. How much do girls hire lo here A. gets six dollars
month
O. Ho. old are you A. Dunno,
q Are you free A. No belongs 20 Miss -.
q Hays you any children ? A. Yes; SCOT two.
O. How old they A Sal, she's six, aud Wsh, he's
O. Where /, your husbsnAr A. Is not married.
O thought said you had children A. so has,
q Is your mistress member OF the Church a yes
she is. 80, -
were not married A. No smply aud 1ngnly)
O. What did she say VIXEN your children were bSrn A
Didn't say nothin'.
We appeal to all who know anything Of slave
holding society and morals to say whether this dia.
lcgue is unnatural oT improbable. And we appeal
to any Christian who is not making over So, 600 a
year BY Southern trade patronage TO say whether
it is worth while ~ diffuse such Gospel as this
Door girls mistress had been sch0ole3 in. BE it
eyermore .unders s9Od then, that we do not object
to the saving Of shareholders; We object to Nor
them money being employed to disseminate South
side divinity among Shareholders, SIMPLY because
~, SORT don't and Xon'f save thpu..
