BOSTON CONGREGATIONAL
difox Of The N. Y. Tribune.

70 q. Editor Of The NJ " Tribune
SIR: In late article entitled Anti Slavery Phasss
He Boston Cong, egationait informs its readers that
"certain Anti Slavery men, led by the tactics of
"polticsDs 10 adopt the old phraseology of the Gar
risorsu have insugurated this radical basis the
"ChuIcb Apt-Savery Society"
The alleged GarnsOnian pbraseology here alluded
TO- which The Congreg0ttonaiist does not like, must
be that Slsveryis In every way heinous SIM AMI
ought to be immediately abandoned az being Sin aud
only continually, malam an Sc, as taught BY
DIR. Jonathan Edwards the younger and by Samuel
Hopkins, ID D., Of Newport. The Coagregat,onali@
;nfers that the Of the Church AnSagery Society
have been carried to what it calls this Garlsonian
plraseology, because Pro-Slavery politicians have
taken the position tna Slavery is boauS ~ Sc good IN
ITSELF and that the right of property in man Is natural
and Inherent.
Now. 10 the credit of those here called Pro-Ssvery
politicians, well as TO the honor OF the ou-aPoken
5isrrsonisn party who are not in the habit unfoItu
paeIy too common in certain other quaters of de.ng
in metaphysical sophistres or eva1ions-it should be
said that politicians never thought of taxi up THIS
ground TIL they Were taught by ht0Logidns. Inc
latter first adopted it quasi apology for Slavery
and as a reason for not touching the sin Of ssveholf
ing in the Church. and for not egisating Slavery out
of the Mission Churches of the American Board among
the Cberokees aod ChoctaSs, that Sidrery rdS not
NAHUM IN Sc "Then, and not till then, politicians
chimed in, and made the wslkin ring with the God
ward side Of Slavery
i intimstes viz that the churches at the North are
unprepaed and unwilling to take the ground Of the sin
funess Of slsvenodiug 10 ITSELF for they, composed
generally Of sincere and right cd men, csonot see
how IL saveholdng be sin at all can help beng stD
an ttseif But it true that portion OF toe ministry
Of the churches Wiling to take this ground, be
cause g it is principle in their ethics quote the
exact language of one Of them) "that Slavery Is not
suaiuns an Sc" Here is the pinch; 1t is this pre-com
initial to false principle Of ethics on the part OF some
in the ministry who begin to see their mistake but are
90 hat
from coming upon the platform of the Church Anti
Slavery Society.
