Mr., President, is this In the North or South ?
Where lsitY A voice-1n the South. And in
the close of this tract we read;
Guard against self conceit. Humility is n
lovely virtue and shines nowhere more tina, in q
servant. BE careful to attend public worship
when you have opportunity, and be regular and
strict in secret and family prayer. Live in love
with your wives, and keep to them only. Be
careful of your children that they do not tell lies
use bad words, or steal. Learn to make home The
most agreeable place to you, and then you will
not want to ramble from one plantation to anotl,
er, ana so will be kept from many temptations
and hurttul snares. Be attentive to your masters
business, and obey him in oil things pray daily
for bin and his family"
A Voice-When was that published
d.: Thompson-lt was bought within q year at
the Tract House.
DR.. Asa d. Smith, bought one at the Tract
House this week.
DR.. Thompson-1t is one Of the current publi.
cations 1t has no date upon it-none of them
have. 1t is now circulated and you can buy it at
the Tract House to-day. Now, what we ask, and
all we ask, is that the Society which prints
that, shall go on and say what Paul says in
the next verses after his instructions to sery-
ants. "And We masfers do tho sano ,b;pnc
unto them, forbearing threatening knowing that
your Master also is in Heaven neither is there
respect of persons with him." We claim that to
publish this tract to servants and Withhold n tract
to masters because of the masters expressed op-
position or indignation is to preach what a pre-
vious speaker has called the 'times," and no:
eternity )" and we demand that this Society shall
preach eternity" and Christ's law that there is
no respect of persons.
DR.. Thompson moved the adoption of the fol-
lowing resolution
Resolved, That while the Society accept without
question the statements of the Publishing Com
mittee of their reasons for delaying to publish
any new tract, in accordance with the fourth reso'
luton adopted last year, yet inasmuch as there is
now issued by the Society q tract instructing SER
wants in their duties, the mmi be instructed
to publish a tract on the duties of masters, accord
ing to the New Testament.
After much confusion, Rev. Mr.. Denison, Of
South Carolina, got the flood, and said the clergy
of the South felt competent to instruct masters in
their duties to their slaves, and endeavored to do
it. Confidence in the Tract Society was already
destroyed at the South. His state had generally
contributed s., 900 or $4,000 a year to it but the
&C Contributions of the last year had fallen off to
$3.50. In abiding to the rejected tract. the speak.
er asked it it were possible that any member Of
the Committee could have thought of publishing
such a tract ond sending it to the SouthY
He would say that the emissaries who brought

Selfpreservation demanded of them, whether
Christians or not, when a nan presented himself
at their doors with such a missal as that, to send
him away, q if he would not 60 by request he
should 60 by violence.
A voice-It is n free country. is it not ?
Mr.. Dennison-We would STOW him very soon
whether it is free down there. 1.-THE Rev. DR.
Murray was observed to make a side remark te
the speaker.
i The speaker said il he had used an expression
y too strong, he would withdraw it. In conclusion
t he alluded to the fact that the Charleston Bibl'
Society had distributed copies of the Bible anon,
r slaves, many of whom could read.
