The American tract society, New York
branch, has lately been put to severe test
.of it, anomalous position on the slavery
question, and has met the ,c,t IN a manner
TO satisfy anti.slayery Christians that there il
nothing more to hope from that quarter.
Rev Samuel Wolcott prepared briT'tract
composed wholly Of seripturat tests upon
slavery, designed to convey in distinct view
the declarations Of the bible on that subject,
after the manner Of the soeietys small tracts
ON other subjects, The committee Of the 40
cistA declined 10 publish il, and in his letter
announcing that decision the secretary CA.
pressed the hope that Mr.. Wolcott would let
the rejection Of his manuscript "rcst without
noise" Mr.. Woleott makes no noise about
il, but lac publishes the correspondence and
the tract in the Boston Congrcgationalist
With some comments, IN which the fol!y and
the practical infdcity of the management Of
the society arc"faithfally exposed, II is one
Of the most damaging Alavs that has been
given 10 the society
An English traveller returned from India
writes People in this country cannot up.
Prrrtatr the extreme improhatiliy, I might
almost say impossibility Of the conversion Of
u hiRh-caNc llindoo. Humanity speaking It
would be almost as reasonable to expect the
Archbishop Of Canterbury to sacrifice a goa,
to Parhucc. As for arguing with a Ilnduo
Of Intelligence, it is like using cannon against
Ilindoo carth-works. lie will grant every
argument Of the Christian, will advance his
religion, admit his Miracles and acknowledge
the truth Of The Incarnation "A the EHJHp
time he will contend that he has an older and
u better system, miracles much more nstound. |

only. lie is the most tolerant, man Ia the I
world will allow every religion TO be true, /
and rs his own 81 stem viii not admit Of con
vcr,s, he recommends every man to adhere .
to his particular creed and allow others to /
do the same"
