MIR. BLAIR a STAKEHOLDER.

Mr.. Blair, of st. Louis, having been charged
with the ownership of 80 slaves. and being q
hypocrite on the subject of emancipation, makes
answer in a public letter as follows:

George Washington, Thomas jefferson, John

patton, and would all be by 2ocrites, according to
tho logic of the Negro Democracy of the Gay.
The truth is, that emancipation is urged by some
from religious and conscientious scruples on the
subject of slaveholding. by others from considera'
tions Of economy, and by others again from po
litical considerations All Of these different views
were well worthy of being weighed, and. as they

country, is one that never will be tolerated
Whenever emancipation is preached in a slave

MISSOURI METHODISM.
GEO.

In the discussion that has been fairly pressed
upon US, IN regard to our Missionary sppropria'
tons in Western Virginia, Arkansas and Missouri
Conferences, we have alleged that our preachers
there are gathering in moro Shareholders into the
Church, with our Missionary funds. AS a reply,
intended to have the effect of a denial, i. has been
asserted that our Church there was decidedly "anti.
slavery" We are now trying to elicit light from
Bros. Brooks and BlackfOrd, as to tohat kind of
anti'slavery they have out ~there-whether i, is
not precisely of the Baltimore stripe and while
they are preparing the answer, will give an Incl
dent in point:
Mr.. Arthur llughs, Of Syracuse, N. Y, was in
Jefferson City, Missouri. q year ago last August.
While there, he stopped at the house Of a Metho-
dist lady. One morning he heard the s~lashings o.
a, horse-whip, and a terrible cutlery from a young
female slave, and on going to the window saw this
Methodist slave holding sister whipping her slave
most numerically. The crime for which she was
thus brutally scourged was this The slave had a
little boy, q m~ulatto, whose every feature and ac'
ton proclaimed him the grand.child of this Meth

SABBATH CONVENTIONAL DISTURBING
QUESTION.

A State Convention to devise measures for pro-
curing the passage of laws to promote the obser-
vance of the Sabbash. by stopping the running Of
canal boats and railroad cars on that day was held
ut Syracuse on the 18th ult. The Northern indie
pendent, auburn says:
"a spicy episode occurred during the evening
session. On motion of Rev. Mr.. Newell, Rev.
Thomas Castleton, formerly of this region (Syra'
cuse), but now Of Batron Rouge, La, was invited
to a seat in the Convention.
"SOme time after this resolution was adopted,
MIR. Abner Bates, OF Syracuse. arose and inquired
whether or not the Convention, by inviting Mr..
Castleton, of Louisiana, to a seat in the Conven-
ton, intended to endorse slavery ? stating mean
while that Mr.. Castleton preached to q saveholding
Church, and defended slavery upon Scriptural
grounds, as an institution of God. Mr.. Bates then
moved a reconsideratio of the vote by which Mr..
q. was invited to a seat in the Convention. 1t be-
ing put and carried, the writer rose and suggested
to Mr.. Newell, the mover, that it would probably
be the easiest and pleasantest way to dispose OF
the matter for him to withdraw the resolution -
this he declined to do, whereupon we moved to lay
the resolution inviting MIR. Castleton to a seat in
the Convention upon the table and the motion
prevailed by n most IN phatic vote. Thus the Rev
apologist for slavery was unceremoRiously not IN
rted to stay with us, and left The house, as we af
forwards learned, in decidedly high spirits.

AMERICAN MISSIONARY AssocIATIoN.-The Amer.
lean Missionary Association held it's annual meeting
at Worcester, Massachusetts, during the last week.
The association was organized and is sustained by
such friends Of Missions as cannot consistently co.
operate with the American Board of Missions on
account of its employment of shareholders as Mis-.
sionarics, and the admission Of shareholders to
their Mission Churches. The Association has one
hundred and fifty missionaries in this and foreign
countries, and its receipts the last year were forty
thousand dollars. Among the Resolutions adopt.
ed by the Association at its Worcester Meeting,
are the following which refer to the question Of
slavery
ResOleed, That as American slavery is one of the
greatest distractions to the conversion of the world,
il behooves the Church of Christ to bear an une.
quiyocal testimony against it, and that the silence
of the pulpit, ecolesiastieal bodies, Missionary
Boards, Bible and Tract Societies. and individual
professors Of religion, wherever it exists, with ref.
erence to this stupendous wrong, is a reproach to
the country, dishonorary to Christianity, and evi.
dence Of detection in religion in those who thus
cruely ignore The rights and sufierings Of their fel,
low men in bondage.

We received on Tuesday morning a letter from

Society of the Methodist Church, and Rev. Thomas
Carlton. the Book Agent. with the Mayor of the
city OF New York's certificate, that a colored man
by the name of James Francis Brodie, wa. a free
man. born in the city of new York. lie was con.
lined in Jail in that city, for the want Of proper
documents, rs n runaway.
We repaired Immediately to tho May or's Office,
showed him the documents, and together repaired
to the Jail to see the boy. lilo is the nephew of
Rev. Frances Burns, the Superintendent of tho
Missions Of the NJ. f.. Church in Africa. We soon
ascertaihed that there was no doubt of hr identity.
his statements all agreeing with the certified docu-
ments. lie was thereupon set at liberty, whom VIC
took him in our buggy to the Advocate office, and
gave him a certificate Of the facts in his case. II
seems that he had free papers, but they being
nearly worn out, he had sent them home to be re-
newed, and having nothing to show who he was,
laid him liable to be arrested as a fugitive.
