From inc Ie1.5,a Patriot Jlg g.
The meetings which the Emancipation Society has
convened III different psfts OF the klugdom nave de-
mopstrated that Enghsamen sbhOr Slavery as rro-
fouudly and sympathize with shareholders as btile
rs they ever did Oar feeling at first was thai we
were assuming tie position OF apologies whefe we
ought rather to have been como!ainsnts, IN
boiling these meetings for the purpose Of assuring
the men OF North America that they illuminated us
when they sid that We had departed from orr Anti
Slavery faith, but we now think II happy thiDg
that the opinion of the country has been thus unmis
takeasly expressed, Tor thus we are saved from
having 10 blush in face Of all the world at TIE
TigfS new spaper Offering d fences for Slavery, aud

mind and the Americans VIII doubtless hold up Tie
Times of Iues last as positive proof that Great
Britain has become The sbetter Of Slave aud that
the loss OF cotton having been the touchsone Of the
sincerity OF professions, had proved lie 10 be

Of rcpr06oti0H MI rise up hr0ugh tie length

comes To understand that the "lesdIng journal
has dared TO revive the stale Inidel sorythe last
and worst plea OF tire slhNt-,iduef-lntt TIE flOlc
does not contain one single text that can be Ier-
yerted TO prove Slavery unlawful" aud that s..
Paul in his advice to Oneeimas, tells slaves that
"they must make the hest of tltIr condition. aud not
try TO escape from IT, al least by any means contrary
20 the laws of their country" NOtbing-rot even
sbe brutality OF tie Legrees-so sbocks Enghshmen
ss the attempt 10 defend Slavery oIt OF the W ord
OF God, aud we never remember 10 have seen The
more unblushingly done than ia The 1fmeS article.
We are told that "sumptuous fare, purple aud hne
linen wealth, ecclesiastlca utes, unmarried clergy,
good clerical incOmes, and many other things, are
contrary 70 the Split Of the Gospel or at least can
be proved SO as easily az Slavery" The indlgnlty
and disgrace done 10 this whole nation by the print
ing of such sentence il the leading article of the
journal which we have exalted TO the foremost
place Of honour and influence hs us VITA shame aud
resentment. To argue The mater wouid only be 10
increase the dish0nor. None but Atheists OF fools
contend at tbis time Of day that tie Bible approves
Slavery; and none bu. Shareholders or their hired
advocates will pretend that Christianity il not most
really opposed to this gum Of all vilainies is pre-
eepts are utterly destructive both OF Slavery IN the
sbstrsct and OF all the horrible practices in which 1t
