Pastors, ministers Of al Evangelical denomi-
nations Of England, Ireland, and Scotland, we
need your cooperation, your examp'c, your in

"plaee yourselves at our head, and let MS al
together call for great and peaceable mani
lestatiou of our sympathes for the black race, 80
long en- hained and debnsed by Christian nations.
We shall thus discourage the partizans Of slavery,
lorlify and sustain those who are endeavorng Ia
abolish II, and thus influence them to accept our
counsel
iii is in free England that such manifesto
tons will indeed be powerful. May we not hope
that if, in Great Britain, the voices Of all the
ministers of the Cross be raised, while in France
our voices echo their prayers and pleadings, very
soon there will he in the United States single

MAY God SO will il, and bless in Christ, the

In responding to the address upwards of 500

Address Of the Clergymen of France to
The Clsrgymen OF England.

The following address has been issued in Paris,
dated February II, 1868. Tie French original
is signe hy nearly seven hundred Protestant
clergymen Of France eighi-tenths of The clergy
OF all the Protestant denominations in that
country.
40 The Pastors and Ministers Of all Evangelical
denominations in Great Britain!
"Brothers, houorcd in Cod: 1t is England's
glory that She has given to the world the exam
pie of ubolishing FIRST the slave trade and then
slavery itself 1t is her glory TINT for sixty
years she has not ceased to work for the exiting
ton of the traffic in slaves, and of the instiu-
ton of slavery, at The cost even, it is said, Of
fifty millions OF pounds sterling.
"And it IL, after God, to those religious men,
Clarkson, Wlberf1ice and Buxton, and to her
mission societies, that England owes that glory.
VIII not the children, the successors Of these
noble Christian men, complete this work. by
urging their country to declare in loud terms for
the sacred cause of liberty for the slaves, in the
terrible struggle now going on in America
"Tho civilized world has seen nothing more
revolving than q confederation, for the most part
Protestant, in the nineteenth century ,of the
Christian era, leaeued together and demanding
their Independence with the openly avowed in
tentlop to maintain and propagate the institution
OF human slavery, and placed as the corner
stone Of its constitution the system of slavery
as II exists in the Southern States which may
be defined as the right to treat human beings as
cattle, with theimpunity'of adulterers and homi-.
cides.
Let us lay away all political considerations
ls there Christian who does not shudder when
he listens to the Chief of this Confederation,
who answers to decree Of emancipation with a
Kind OF menace Of determination? The triumph
Of such cause will put back that of Christianity
and civilization for IA century, it will cause the
angels Of heaven to weep mud will rejoice the
demons Of hell.
"Tbroughout the world tho supporters of
slavery will raise their heads, all ready as thew
are TO reappenr at the first signal, in Asia
Africa, and even in our wel-regulaied cities Of
Europe. 1t would prove 4 disastrous blow TO tho
work Of evangelical missions. And whit a
terrible responsibility will weigh upon the
church which could remain silent witness of
the accomplishment of 20 shameful a triumph :
II peaceful means are desired to bring tbs war
to Close, aud make ii conform to the wishes of
all friends VI humanity, the Christians of Europe
should give the caude Of emancipation such a
hearty and esrnes'ly-expressed sympathy rs
