There has been an earnest discussion for
some time in the Rev II. W. Beecher's
Church, at Brooklyn, about the propriety of
continuing to contribute to the American
Board, on account of its relations to Slavery.
1t was closed by deciding, by a large majority,
to contribute as heretofore. Mr. Beecher,
himself declared his approval of the course Of
the Board.

forward SO prominently. We cannot be argued
into loving or approving it. What the result d
the present excitement may lead to we know not
but who that believes in the union Of the human
race, and has any faith that the world is to be
brought under the influence Of the gospel, but
expects that the day Of universal freedom will
come?
In regard to these struggles on this side of
the Atlantic and on the other, we should remem-
Der that it is not SO much men that are opposed
to each other as Ideas great principles; and we
feel that the truth is mighty, and though long OBJ
structed, will, sooner or later, prevail.
