byterians, who deny to .hoir slaves that which
God hath appointed for all men-rnarfiage One
of its own members, DIR. Breckenridge, bears the
following testimony to the religion practised by the
body THE system OF slavery denies to whole
class of human beings the sacredness of marriage
and of home, compelling them to live in state OF
concubnage for, in the eye of the law no colour
ed slaveman is the husband of any wife in par.ic-
ular no slaveman is the father of any child in
particular and no slave child is the child Of any
parent in particular" Mr.. Stuart, of Illinois,
thus reprobates the sin of the body TN this
church man may take free-born child, force it
away from its parents, to whom God gave it in
CHARGE saying, Bring it up for me- and sell it as
a beast, or hold it in perpetual bondage, and not
only escape corporeal punishment, but really be
esteemed an excellent Christian. Nay, even min
listers of the Gospel and Doctors Of Divinity may
engage in this unholy traffic, and yet sustain their
high and holy calling" What is the action of this
Society abroad? 1t has missions among the Choc-
taw and Cherokee Indians, the church members
oil which hold slaveo. Complaints were received
of their robbing parents of their children, and
sending them where they are never beheld by them
again. The matter was complained OF to the
Board the Board referred the complaint to
the missionaries the missionaries cooly replied
in true American spirit, that the separation of pa
rents and children is not forbidden by the express
injunction of Scripture. There the matter was
allowed by the Board to rest Polygamy is known
to exist in the mission churches the Board toll
crates crime for which its churches at home
would visit with excision any one of its members.

that of the stakeholder the child stealer the po-
ygamist, and the compeer of the sin of con-
cubinage, and with the other, reciprocatng the
warm embrace of Christian fellowship of the Con
gregatohal Union and the London Missionary So
ciety. Dr. Pomroy virtually indorses the bias
phemies uttered by American divines, that slave
ry was instituted by God and was sanctioned by
Christ and his Apostles the Congregational I'm
ion and the London Missionary Society tacitly give
their assent to the doctrine, by openly endorsing
; the Christianity of DR.. Pomeroy. Had it been o
mere temporal matter, the world would have nc
difficulty in coming to the conclusion respecting
the doctor as the 'mddle-man of the two classes
of whom he was the bond of union-"nosctur
sociss." AS the link in the chain connecting the
two, it certainly would not bo unfair to exclaim o
both, "Arcades am6o."
We ask the Directors Of the London Missionary
Society to ponder over, and to controvert if they
, can, the statement made by Mrs.. Stowe as to tn.
influence exercised upon the minds of the heather
by the child-theft justifying missionaries the rep
resentatives of whom they have SO warmly einbrac
ed We have sent our missionaries to oil
quarters of the globe but how shall they tell
their heather converts the things that are done in
Chrstianized America 2 How shall cur mission
aries in Mahometan countries hold up their heads,
and proclaim the superiority of our religion, when
we tolerate barbarities which they have repudiat-
ed A missionary among the Karens, in Asia,
writes back that his course is much embarrassed
by suspicion that is afoat among them, that the
Americans intend to steal and sell them. lie says,
4 dread the time when these Karens will be able
to read our books and get full knowledge of all
that is going on in our country. Many of them are
very inquisitive now, and often ask me questions
that find it very difficult to answer" 1t is evi-
dent that 10 fraerriziIg with this proslavcry rep
resentative, the English organizations have had
respect to nothing but the wool, without caring
aught about the real nature Of the animal by which
it is assumed. Albert Barnes departed from Pres
byterian orthodoxy in his views of the federal
headship of Adam, and Of the propriety of imput-
ing his sin to all his posterity The church hurl-
ed its fercest denunciations against the arch here
starch, as it did also against DR.. Lyman Beecher
Well might his daughter say, "The Bible declares
of all such"--church members--"that they are
templer of the Holy Ghost; that they are members
of Chri,t's body, of his flesh and bones. Is not
the doctrine that men may lawfully cell the men,
haro of Nbrok b:s hody hia fash md for
the purpose Of gain, as really an heresy as the de-
nia of the divinity of.Christ and is it not dis
; honor to Him who is over all, God blessed for ev
er, to tolerate this dreadful opinion with its more
dreadful consequences, while the smallest hereses
concerning the imputatoh of Adams sn are pur
: sued with eager vehemence ?" Certainly not, il
the opinion of the Congregational Union and the
London Missionary Society, who must have come
to the conclusion practically arrived at by the
American churches For man to teach tina
there are not threePersons in the Trinity is heresy
: For man to teach that that all these three Per
sons authorise system which even Mahometar
princes have abolished from mere natural sham,
and conscience, is no heresy."
-, We regret that press of engagements prevent
cd the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society
+ from admitting the topic OF American slavery eth
er in their resolutions upon the platform, or in th'
report read on Saturday last. We rejoice. on th
other hand, in the establishment of the Londor
Emancipation Committee. which has undertaken
to attempt the work which the Broad-street Socie
ty has not time to attend to properly--of warning
. the public against wolves in sleeps clothing.
