First sentence: To understand the following speech, the reader will be pleased to learn-if he don't know already-that the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, before its division in 1838, and since,-both Old School and New School,-has been, for forty years and more, bearing testimony, after a fashion, against the system of slavery; that is to say, affirming, in one breath, that slave-holding is a "blot on our holy religion," &amp;c. &amp;c.; and then, in the next utterance, making all sorts of apologies and justifications for the slave-holder.
