holding in their mission Churches. The Board, how

The American Eonrd have given the public ni
information respecting this burning nhve of one ol
their converts by another. When, however, a call
was mode by Prof, linrtlett upoo the Secretaries for
information respecting it, one of them informed him
that they had received no infonnnlion of it " while-

After publishing thu important correspondence fur-

of that lime it gave a very brief statement designed
to bo exculpatory of tho Donrd, admitting, however,
that if Mr. Byinglon had accepted the peneion ollercd
him by the Board, tbey were still bound to investignle
nntl call him to account.
In the succeeding w, ,k (Ian. ill^t) appeared a slill
briefer paragraph, seemingly designed to end the con-
sideration of tbo whole mntier, as follows :

The Priiilenlinl Coinmitlee, the Secretaries, and the
Board, nrc well aware of this slate of things, since
the authentic record of these atrocities nppenra, from
the whole newspaper press, secular
noil " religiomi." They have chosen, however, to
shelter, in thuir Churches, the system of slaveholding
which naturally and practically leads la thia result.
They continued this course from 1317 to 18.W with
the CbocUw mission, and then discontinued it, speci
tying, as their one sullicient reason—" tho emtorrtxi
meiU connected witli the missionary work among the
Chootaws." (P.14riof Annual Report for ISriB.) Thoy
continued the same course with ihe equally slave-
holding Cherokee Churches from 1817 to I860, nnd
then discontinued them because tbe Cberokees, having
become " •• Christian people" no longer needed mfs-

No fact in the whole dreadful history ol slavery
atilies more clearly of ila pernicious iullueneo upon
the religion of the country than this. A. woman, the
mother or eight children, is burned alive hy a sister
in the Church, for an offence of which she declares
herself innocent I The Church of which these two

This sali-faetion in their well-spent past brought the
lends of freedom together, agreeably to long prorio
.vitotiou, in unoMiiiiplc.l numberi nnd spirits. It w

iot, with the danger to life nnd pro-
perty, from municipal c'.rriiption and State auplneness,
though it awakened indignant pity fur the pooi- crea-
tures of slavery about to engage in it, did not, in the
leost.cbeck the gayety or the liberality of the occasion,

political demonstration of loyalty to the Slave Power,
executed by the small defeated parly or Bell and

Undoubtedly the Union feeling is strengthening in tho

States to give up nil that Soulh Carolina demands, the
Union might be preserved— perhaps foi another four

deceptive. They nro for Union if they can got nil the
demand, nnd if the Stales which havo seceded can t

Virginia and the other slave Slates still In
