the chapter. Such tracts, however elaborated
would have done less to uphold Slavery ana 'he

persistently maintaining that the supporters OF

The labors of the Managers are telling at home
and abroad. Their influence Is evident at inc
South. where Slavery is rampant in Church ana
State. where men are bred as oxen are Tor ths
sbambles. where wOmans virtue Is q marketapie
commodity, and children are sold like pigs whers
white fathers stock the plantation win young mu-
lattoes. and grow rich on the bones and muscles OF
their own offspring, where the Bible is asealed book
more inaccessible to four millions of immortal souls
than in any Popsh country, where avarice ana iiS'
trampe out the life of mountaineering their
souls. outrnging their persons and converting them
from generation to generation into mere cnatteis'
And il is not less evident in Africa, WHICH our
fathers for a time freed from the vilainy OF the
saye.trade. but where the devil is again unclaimed,
doing his damned work, fraught with tears
and agony, amid the frantic applause OF thou
sands at the South, whom the Tract Society greet
ga Evangelical Christians.
We recommend to those members of the Society
who would like to know what their managers have
accomplished during the last two years. since they
violated the instructions given them IN ioo9'
painfully instructive paper in The tor
February, By the Rev. VIM. Do Loss Love OF WIS
consin, on "Thc Reopening of the African slave
"Trade." The fearful testimony he cites is gath
cred from witnesses on the spot. The Rev. Messrs.
Bushnell and Walker of the Gaboon MisSion'
agree in the statement that all the missionaries on
the coast of Africa, from the whole Christian
world are not equal in number "to the slave
I" ships from the port of New-York alone that
yearly visit the coast for slaves. One city fur

of Georgia, in the Democratic Convention at
Charleston during the present month, said

region IApplause.l ! am proud OF the position
occupy In that respect. believe that me Atrtcdn
sLart-irader IS true missionary, and true Chr's-
iioR." Applause.
Mr.. Gaulden in this but expresses similar SEN
timent TO that of DIR. Nehemiah (S0uth-Side)
Adams. whose continuance in the management OF
tie Tract Society is guaranty TOR It's utmost
|. fidelity tothe slaye-rading interest. That reverend
divine, with holy JUNCTION, even inyokes benson
| on the internal traffic. According to this Evan
gelical Christian it requires neither strong faith
"nor fancy to suppose that the work might sui
90 on in the form of an interchange OF the blacks
g. between Africa and the Southern States. The
South has learned to be the protector and the
| - friend of The African"
Thanks to the teachings Of DR.. Adams and his
| associates, neither faith nor fancy il now re-
| ouired to convince us that the work is going
braveIy on. The very interchange prayed foT
would seem TO have come to pass, for ship
| chartered to convey blacks to Africa is said to
| have returned with q cargo of slaves. mis-
sonary of the American Board writes that there
| cannot be less than one hundred vessels now OF
the African coast freighted with slaves" and
/ that at least sixty or seventy Of these are des
" tined for the American States And the
letters of other missionaries on the western coast
| say that the slaye-trade has greatly increased
| within the last twelve months.
1t is but just to the Society at large, to thu
| thousands Of members scattered throughout thu
| land, to say that their position on the Slavery
| question is entirely misrepresented by the Man
|. acers. The Society in 1857 unanimously resolved
that the moral evils and vices which Slavery is
known to promote and which are condemned IL
Scripture, and so much deplored by evangelical
Christians, automatically do fall withm the prOrinct
81" the Society, and ran and ought to be discussed IN
a frateyaal and Christian manner" That reso
luton the Managers insolently refuse to obey.
Their mercantile supporters in this city sustain
| them in their dsobedience, and have introduced
into the meetings the gag-rule and kindred yio-
lence that have aiterly disgraced its anniversaries
For the present, nothing is left for those who hold
to the resolutions of the Society, but to protest
against their violation; for until the life.members
| in the country are enabled to vote by proxy the
| Tract Society will probably continue, as al
present, the guardian of Slavery and the Slave
| Trade.
