that a tract against the slave trade would meet
our warm appreciation, aud the Tract Society
rejects the proposition. You stand upon the
verge Of deep abyss and will make shpwreck

the question comes up on the naked proposition
Of approving or disappearing slavery, shall an
American be silently He moved a resolution,
that while the society reject the resolution a.

tation with regard to the slave trade ITSELF
The resolution was carried by large majority.
