They planted themselves upon he broad

DISCOVERY,
! have recently discovered in the great Philadel

pages, printed in London by that celebrated
Methodist preacher, John Bradburn. consider
tia far stronger production, both in argument and
comprehensiveness, than, Wesley's tract on the

slavery Methodist could not do a better thing than
to have it reprinted and scattered broadcast over
the Church.

ANOTHER CASE OF sANCTIFIED SLAVE.
HOLDING.

The Rev. Henry Hutt, a free colored man resid-
ing on the eastern shore of Maryland, and a local
preacher in the Philadelphia Annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church, has, by the force Of
his talents and industry. accumulated considerable
wealth. There is no proof that the Rev. HUT is. or
has ever been an abolitionist. He is a conservative
no doubt. 1t appears that some months ago a
Stare ocned by tho Rev. Henry, concluded to take
the underground railroad for the land of the free,
but failed, was caught, brought back to this Row.
Shareholder, was sold to the South, and the money
pocketed by said HUT. The Quarterly Conference
did not take away his licence for this conduct, and
