FROM An OccA,oIN Couespondspt
BOsToN, June ], 1855.
We finished our Holy Week on Saturday on the
| whole in q satisfactory manner Your Own Cor.
respondent has told you Of the result in the Tract
Society, which wss the occasion Of the greatest
general interest. 1t certainly was not as gratifying
10 high Conservative piety as tina. ofyour meeting.
| But it might have been wore. The tice OF fanati-
csm wac stayed little by the timely interpolation of
pious lsymep sound in political well as evangeh-
cal faith, such as Mr.. George Lunt, as emnen. for
piety as for poetry Mr.. Caleb S.etson, distinguished
for his interest In souls and 10 iole-eather, and
several others of whose orthodox sufic,ency,
both nationally and eccle,isstically, / am well
assured, but whose names, as never heard Of them
before ard have forgotten them now, ! cannot lay
before your raade Reenforced by such au1iliaries,
we put over the proposition TO separate our connec-
ton with Jour Branch for year, REFER ng it in the
| mean time 10 committee, which We 'pe may
| arrange all difficulties by the truly American
method Of O compromise. IL is true that the Kew.
| Secretary, Mr.. Bliss Was sacrificed as a prOpltia-
| ton to the fanatic element The members seemed
10 think that in this ease, as in the other illustrated
| by the poet Bliss could be endured but unto
certain bound" which having passed, they could
| stand him no longer. So the Tract House IN this
| city is no longer the abode of Biss. The mOres
| the pity.
| But, then, you will understand that We, no more
| than you, did not propose to make any Iractarian
| assault upon Slavery itself. Not at all. All that
| the most frantic of the malignants asked was for
tracts on the Moral Duties arising out of the Re
| lation of Master and Slave. This, of course, Is
entirely incompatible with those extreme and fansti
cal opinions, that the only Moral Duty Of Master
is to let 20 bis hold Of his Slave and the chief Moral
| Duty of Slave to get away from his Master as
| soon as ever he can In fact, the enforcement OF
the Duties arising out of the relation of Master and
| Slave implies the recognition of the compatibility
| of savehOl0Dg with the Christian character. But
still as ourSOuhern brethren Justly sensitive on
this most delicate question: and as the readiness OF
the wOrser sort to take ell Of license If but an
inch OF Liberty be allowed them, it is unwise to per-
nit any alusOn to the subject in any way. Rev
erend Mr. James, who probably derives his apostle

You will be panied to learn that the Rev. Dr. Chez

grieve by the violence of his dlatribes against
Slavery, and even against Christian Churches that

the character of The Christian heLig6ncer and The

Of Jesus than of the Ministry of Christ. The edi-

the charge made against him, and seems to reply
without making any answer. The only point he at
tempts to meet is the charge that he attributed the
authorship of the rejected Tract to me, when
he must have seen the name of another responsible
man on its title-page. He says that the authorship
Of my letters has been varOusly attributed to Chas.
