"Meanwhile, rumorsxneIl.founded, believe

Hc thought it this resolution VIA adopted it
would open the door for expressions Of opinion
upon matters which create even more discus
sion. Ncxt year they might be called upon to
express their opinion upon the Introduction OF
Slavery into the Territories. [Great confusion,
applause and hisses.] He hoped it would not
be passed, for fear they might fall into trap
unawares. lie thought the opinion of the So
ciety could not be misunderstood.
The Rev. Or. Hewitt thought We could con
fdein the watchfulness Of those who are TO
come after us, that this resolution should not be

Mr.. Thompson thought the opinions oi the
Society could be misunderstood. He said that
in Mr. Gurney's book upon the Love. Of God
this passage occurred: = If this true lore had
prevailed among Christians. where would have
been the African slayc-trade:' When that
book was published by this Society, part ot thai
passage was stricken out, and words inserted 50
as to Fead. " Where would have been the tor
lures Of the Iu9uisition?" [Great applause. j
He thought tic passage of this resolution
would place the Society right before the con'
munity.
After some further discussion the resolution
was adopted.
