Senator Walker on AnNexation.—In reply to] -Twe Serinc anp Susmer- Business.—Office- NEW YORK HERALD. New Yerk, Saturday, April 13. 1844. To the Public. a In the “Courier & Enquirer” of yesterday, 1 fiad a grossly livellous article, in reference to myself and my wife, signed by Henry Wickofl. This statement I pronounce a wicked and malicious tissue of untruth, invention, and misrepresentation throughout, im I find also, that Chatles King, of the “ New York American,” David Hale, of the “ Journal of Com: merce,” Wm. C. Bryant, of the ‘ Evening Post, and Horace Greeley, of the “Daily Tribune,” (in- cluding others)—all of whom pretend to be gentle- men, men of morals and ’ respectability, have published the same false, malicious and scandalous statement. In order toset this piece of infamy before the pub- lic in its most flagrant lineaments, I shall bring all those editors before the judicial tribunals, (includ- ing also the mean and contemptible creature who has officiated as their spy,) and prove the falsehood of these malicious charges, by the evidence of Mddile. Fanny Elssler herself, and also by the written letters, new in my hands, of this self same Wickoff, who, soon after he arrived in London from America, was dismissed from her service for certain conduct towards her, and who wanted afterwards to be reconciled to her, but was indignantly spurned with contempt and detestation. Last summer I saw Fanny Elssler in London, and heard from her own lips what the facts were in this matter—and since my return from Europe I have had a letter from her, dated in Germany, confirming the same thing. The highly moral, respectable, geatlemanly, and tefined xewspaper editors of New York, must be hard driven for materials to write down the Herald, when they are under the necessity of prying into my wife’s dressing case, of peeping through key holes upon her toilet table, of ascertaining what she wears, and of using the falsehoods and inven- tions of a discarded employé of a danseuss, in order to entertain the fine gentlemen, the elegant ladies, the pious men, and the many moral people, who peruse the interesting columns* of such respectable Journals. Amore contemptible and disgraceful piece of conduct towards a successful rival, never yet sullied the newspaper press of any country. Abolition Movements. We re-publish in this day’s paper, from the Commercial Advertiser, a very extraordinary bulle- tin, just issued by the executive committee of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, 1n- structing the delegates from the Free Church of Scotland, now in this country, with respect to their duties in relation to the collection of funds in certain sections of this country. This curious do- cument advises these commissioners not to take any money from the southern States for the pur- pose of building churches in Scotlend ; because, in the southern States, there happens to be a large tlave population, who are, as they say, held ia bondage, and deprived of their rights as human beings. It would be well for these abolitionists to inquire whether the social system, on which the South 18 founded, does not secure to the population there a greater amount of comfort, more enlarged means of eajoyment, and better subsistence, than all the boasted free institutions of Scotland give to those who live under them. It is certainly very evident —and we speak from personal observation—that the traveller in Scotland sees in one day more misery, more distress, more depravity, from the terrible social system of that country, than he could perceive in a month in the southern States. Perhaps, indeed, no class of human beings under the sun, of the same grade in society and the same numbers, enjoy as large a share of the comforts of life, so liberat a share of the means of supplying all their wants, so well attended to when sick, as the much misrepresented colored races oi the South. Certainly there is no comparison be- tween their condition and that of the lower classes, the mechanics and operatives, and laborers of Eu- rope, especially in Great Britain and Ireland. It would be well then if the Executive Committee had enquired into these matters before they issued such an extraordinary manifesto. But fanaticism, and the selfish and malignant disturbers of the peaee and good order of society never condescend to inquire or reason. We mention those facts, however, of which we are personally cognizant, in order to show how little these men know of the real condition of the races in the South, and who attempt, by mere ab stractions and fanatical impulses, great changes in the structure of society. Whether the ScottishClergy- men now inthis country on a begging excursion may go South and solicit alms there wherewith to build ‘churches, we know not. The probability is that if they should go they will be respectfully en- tertained and receive liberal alms, which we are very sure they will not refuse. We know very well that O’Connell, to whom reference is made in the singular manifesto which we have republished, always took especial ‘care to have a saving clause by which to appease his conscience, so that on the arr.val of a steamer with a remit- tance from the Southern States, he could pocket the money. He never refused any coppers from whatever quarter they came. Neither will these Scottish Clergymen. This, however, is merely incidental. We look upon this document as only a part of the grand scheme of these deluded men, who, one day in the name of religion, and another of philosophy—one day in the name of piety, and the next of liberty and equality, are endeavoring to disturb the sociay relations which exist in the South—relations, which furnish to the great mass of the lower classes there, a higher degree of social happiness and enjoyment, than even the boasted system of free labor does to its subjects in Europe, and the Northern States of this Union. This is only a part of the system of disturbance and agitation which they are carrying on previous to the Presidential election, and is intended to operate politically on that event one way or the other Hitherto the po- sition of parties in the Northern States—their equi- ponderance in point of numbers, have kept these deluded men in some degree of check. But we do fear that the power of the two great parties has now become so nicely balanced, ‘that in the ap- proaching Presidential election, an opportunity will be afforded to the leading politicians, to give such fresh impetus to the abol.tion movements, as may lead hereafter to most disastrous results. In such a state of affairs, we need hardly say it becomes the duty of every true patriot—every sin- cere and prudent friend of human happiness and freedom—every man who wishes to preserve the integrity and stability of the Union, and prevent domestic broils and insurrections, to look warily on the movements of the abolition party in the free States—to calculate the results of this movement which they are originating, and to adopt that course “which is most likely to prevent any increase of their influence, or any derangement of the present peaceful and happy social system of the Southern States oration. —We un- derstand that the reform members of the new cor- poration have had several informal meetings and consultations with respect to their duties ; and se- veral “ talks” have been held as to the proper in- terpretation to be given to the recent election.— Nothing of a very definite nature, however, has been decided upon. It seems that there is a strong development amongst the new reform members against any indiscriminate removal from office of the present incumbents. There is a disposition to retain all good men in office. But whether this can be carried into practical operation we doubt very much, as there are already several thousands of applicants, hungry and as noisy as beagles, pre- paring to surround and worry the new board as soon as they get seated, a gress attack upon Mr. Walker, U. 5. Senator in Congress from Mississippi, made by several news- papers, alleging that he had a pecumary interest in the naexation of Texas, we find the following distinct denial in the same papers :— ‘am not interested, Girectly or indirectly, in Texas Jan I did once hold an interest in Texas lands, chiefly by devise from a dec brother, but they have many ‘ears since been sold by me, by deed of quit claim, and I eno interest, direct, or indirect, in the lands of Texas As to Texas stock or scrip, | do not now hold, nor have [ ever held ay interest in either, direct orindirect. Ihave no personal interest whatever in the reannexation of Texas, nor will I derive any pecuniary benefit from such aresult. Iwas always opposed to the treaty by which Texas was syrrendered to Spain, and ane pproved the speech of Mr. Clay, of the 3d of April, 1820, against that fatal measure. @ subsequent efforts to reacquire ‘Texas, of Messrs, Adams and Clay, in 1826 and 1827, and of General Jackson and Mr Van Buren in 1329, met also my cordial approbation, and my opinions stand recorded in favor of the reannexation of Texas nearly a quarter of acentury since, and ut a time when I never contemp! having any interest in the lands of Texas. 1 do, however, own a large body of most valuable cotton lands in the State of Mississippi, which, it is contended by the oppo- nents of reannexation, will be greatly depreciated in price by that result, and some of my friends estimate my loss in that way, at a sum not leas than one hundred thousand dollars. ¥ g now fully replied to the questions pro- pounded by your correspondent, 1 cannot doubt but that you will do ine the justice to publish this letter entire in ‘our paper, and thai it will also be republished by all who ave given currency to similar reports. Very respectfull R. J. WALKER. Post Orrice Reror: During the last few months, three judicial decisions have been made in relation to the Post Office Laws, affecting the car- rying of letters along the great rail road lines on the Atlantic border. In this city and in Boston the decisions given were adverse to the Department, and of such a character as almost to throw open to private enterprize the business of carrying letters, In Baltimore a decision, indeed, was given in favor of the Department, and it has been greatly uckled over and trumpeted ubout by the Post Master General, but there is every reason to be- lieve that hereafter the verdicts and decisions will be of such a complexion as will lead to complete disorganization of the Department, unless it be re- modelled. Z Such being the state of the case, it certainly be- comes Congress to act in the premises before their adjournment. Unless the Post Office laws be ex. amined and such changes and additional enact- ments made as may be found necessary, the busi- ness of carrying letters will be taken up all over the country by private enterprize, and the department be all but annihilated. This state of things has been produced by the blundering inefficiency of the department, which has lately been conducted under the guidance of a spirit which we hardly know how to designate correctly. Congress must act, and that immediately, or the Post Office Depart- ment will be completely dissolved in less than six months. Pouce Revorm ar Lasr.—Information from Albany enables usto state that a new bill has been presented for the re-organization of the police de- partment ef this city, on a plan that meets the al- most universal comcurrence of practical men of all parties who have examined its details. We are happy to see this, as it will, in some measure, re- deem the pledges long since made by all parties to their constituents. The general provisions of the bill call for the establishment of a police force of seven hundred men, to be placed under the immediate direction of a captain of police and assistants; all of whom are to be under the control of the Mayor of the city. They are to perform the duties now perfor- med by {police officers and watchmen, and to be sub-divided into two divisions, in erder to keep a continual police force on actual duty, both by night and by day. The captain of police is to have the superintendence of hacks, carts, stages, &c., which will bring him into immediate know- ledge with this portion of the community, ina manner calculated to aid materially in the pre- servation of the peace of this city. The present and past odious violations of the spirit of the writ of habeas corpus, as practised by many of our judges, from pecuniary motives, is effectually pre- vented, as no fees are to be allowed for the issuing of this writ, where the object is to obtain release from confinement on bail. The appointments are to be made for four years, on nomination of the alderman, assistant and assessors of each ward to the Mayor, and each ward is to be entitled toa ratio of representation according to its popu- lation. This bill has been submitted to several of the leading members of the American Republican party, who publicly stated, at the meeting in the Park on Thursday, that it was the best plan that had ever been proposed; but objected to its fimme- diate adoption only because the appointing power would be conferred on the present Mayor and Common Council. They also appointed a com- mittee to proceed to Albany the same evening, to oppose the passage of this bill. Erie Raitroav.—We understand that the new direction of this company having abandoned ali hopes of raising ahy money through the credit of the Corporation or the State, have very wisely, as we think, agreed to hold a great popular meeting in the Tabernacle next Thursday, for the purpose of exhibiting the condition and prospects of that road to capitalists and the community in general, and thus ascertaining whether, in the present abun- dance of money, they can raise sufficient means to complete the work within a reasonable time. We have always been opposed to the mingling of private enterprize with State or Corporation credits. The immense loan which this company received from the State, induced those entrusted with the management of its funds to throw away a great deal of money in useless expenditures. A luke result always takes place when the public money or credit is used for the furtherance of tpri- vate enterprise. The same objection was very properly urged when the application was made for a loan from the Corporation. Butno objection can be offered in any quarter to the procedure proposed now. Itis a perfectly reasonable and legitimate mode of raising the necessary funds. The Directors of the road, after a full examina- tion of its affairs, are confident that they can make such an expose as will be perfectly satisfactory in proving that they offer what will be dividend-pay- ing stock at the end of acertain period. The con- struction of the work would undoubtedly material- ly benefit this city, and if the Directors can present satisfactory evidence that they offer a safe invest- ment, which gives the promige of a reasonable di- vidend, we think, there can be no doubt that, in the present abundance of money and revival of en- terprise and business, they have every prospect of succeeding in their present purpose. Senrence or an Anortronist.—In the Court of General Sessions yesterday Napoléon Loreaux, the seducer and betrothed of the French girl Zual- ma Marache, who was tried and convicted at the last term of procuring abortion from her person, was sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and to be im- prisoned in the County Jail for two months, and Madame Catherine Guetal, convieted of the same offence, to pay a fine of $25. The sentence of Madame Costello hasbeen stayed by an application tor a bill of exceptions to the Supreme Court of the State. Where is John Jones, the button maker? Let him walk up to the Captain’s office and settle. “CONNECTION BRTWEEN Literature aNd Revi Gton."—Dr. J. M.

We have « new corporation coming into office, pledged to car- ry out reform, and probably to change the whole administration of the city government. They have the power of appointment to onethousand offices, if not more, and the distribution of spoils to the amount of upwards of a million of dollars per an- num. ‘Then again, there isa prospect that Captain Tyler will sweep the present government officials with the besom of destruction,'thus throwing open seven or eight hundred additional offices and at least $900,000 of spoils. Thus during the next six months we will have spoils to the amount of two millions, with pick- ings, stealings, and ‘‘extras” worth a million more, making inall three millions of dollars thrown before the people of this city, like lots to suit customers, in prizes ranging from $500 to $5,000 a year, to be given to the candidates who bring the best certifi- cates of temperance—political fidelity—honor— patriotism—nativeism and Tylerism. What a seramble! Just think of it. Three millions of dol- lars. What a scramble! The Pars Theatre. During the interregnum at the Opera House, the old Drury ot New York has sustained an extraor- dinary revival, and has once more assumed some- thing like its pristine cheerfulness, The untiring Wallack, and the beautiful Mrs. Brougham have just concluded an engagement which commenced last Monday week. Benedick and Beatrice were the opening characters of these distinguished art- ists, and well did they sustain their parts, The character of Benedick is a favorite with Wallack, who personates the dashing, racy, and richly hu- morous, With a justuess of conception unequalled since the retirement of Charles Kemble. The character of Beatrice is a difficult one tor the pre- sent style of acting, on account of its light, fautas- tic and flighty sales, but Mrs, Broughain is just the person to doit ali the justice we could expect, | according to the rules of the modern school. On preany evening Wallack pinyed his justly cele- brated Rolla, and Mrs. Brougham took the part of | Cora; she was much applauded, and seemed to carry the feelings of the audience with her through. | out the piece. But the principal novelty of the last week, has peen the revival of a drama called the Hazard of the Die, which was written for Wailack by Jerrold. The scene is laid in France, during that eventful era—the Reign of Terror. ‘lhe mis- fortunes of two families denounced by the Conven- tion, and the devotion and eflorts of one of the pro- scribed, David Davigne, to save the other, form the basis of the plot. Wallack is the hero of the piece, in the character of a Gambler ; but one struggling with the fa- tal propensity, though in vain. His brother, and the fami- ly of hia brother’s betrothed are condemned to death, and at the very crisis of their fate—when their jailor promises to release them for the sum oftwo hundred crowns—when David has actually obtained that sum, the temptation be- comes too strong for him, and he madly risks at the gam. ing-table the suis which was to procure his brothers’ re- lease. ‘The mad and desperate energy of the Gambler when he has lost all on the Hazard of the Die, is depicted by Wallack with a life-like and thrilling effect that it is almost beyond the power of words to describe. The death of Robespierre happens opportunely at this crisis so that the brother and the rest of the victims are spared, but the Gambler dies honor-stricken at the supposed fate he had brought on his brother and friends. We cannot omit our tribute of praise which is due to the acting of Chippendale, Jamison and Fisher, as sanguinary and infatuated patriots of the revolution. Indeed, the whole piece was admira- bly got up and played with more attention to dramatic proprieties than has generally been the case at the Park. The female characters in this piece are so subordinate that they need no comment During the present week, Mr. Wallack and Mra. Brough- am have coutinued their engagemmnt; play in Spring and Autumn; The Brigand—a very effective piece—Tie Mountaineers, and the Carib Chief. Al these pieces have been well got'up, and have drawn excellent houses. It is tolerably certain that the Se ns and Shrival are to fol- low Wallack, and thus sustain the revived reputation of Old Drury. Rear Estate.—At no period since the settlement of Boston, has the price of real estate. commanded such ready'sale, and at such high prices, not even during the speculations of 1835 and 1836, as at the present mo- ment. ‘The transactions in this species of property are immense, and the addition of dwelling houses and of the taxable property ofourcommunity is appearing in every direction. One individual has make known his intention of erecting forty-four brick dwellings in Harrison Avenue and Curve street. Let ene of our “stay at home” citizens visit the district in which the depot ot our West- ern railroad is situated; examine the new strevts that have been there laid out, hinting by their names, Utica, Hud- son, Albany and Buffalo, the distant cities wnich that magiificent structure has opened to our neighborly inter- course, and he will be startled at the work that is going on in our midst. On South Kussell street already about filteen or twenty old tenementa have been demelished, and preparations made for nearly thirty brick buildings to be erected in their stead. At the foot of Boylston street west of the beautiful Common, the sound of the “hammer” and “trowel” are heard long before the aristocrats of the other side awake from their slumbers. In fact, wherever land can be obtained on which to erect dwelling houses there the work is un.

New Yorx, April 2d, 1944. Rev. Me: Cunningham, Burns, Lewis and Chalmers, and HB. Ferguson, Esq, Commissioners of the Free Church of Scotland. Cuarstian Baetonex— You have come irom a land distinguished throughout Christendom for the stand it now maintains, and has often during the Jast three centuries maintained, against eccle- siasticil and civil tyranny. You come to seek the sym| thy aud solicit the aidof the friends of freedom in this land, 19 your noble struggle agaiust civil dictation insa- credthings. The abolitianists of the United States ure also engayed in a struggle on behalf of the down-trodden in this land, whose riguts, natural, civil and religious, are takeo from them. ‘e respectiully tender to you, andthe Church you represent, our sympathy, aud we shall be pa to give you our cordial support if we can consistent- ly do it. 7 You ere probably aware that, as Presbyterians you have in the Southern part of ion between thirty and forty thousand of the protessed brethren and ers in Christ, whose situation is tar more pitiable than that of the oppressed in your land. The christian peasantry of Suth- erland,* grievously as they suffer, know little of the uron despotism of their colored brethren in the Southern part of thiscountry. The Duke who bears that title insists that his tenants shall listen to the preachers whom he se- for them, or not build their dissenting churches on land; and the civil courts sustain him am his alterna- tive. The Free Church appeals tu God, and to every God- fearing maa, against this tyranny. In this republic there here are thous: of tyrants whom are styled ‘honorable,’ who will not slaveg to Jegrn tq read the Bible or attend upon babes ms 4 of their chojce and the civil courts sustain them jn their prohibition. These honorable men insist on sre rgpt of seizing the wives of the slaves, at any time, and of beating or se ling, or humbling them, as to them seeps beat; and of selling men, women and children—and the law authorises it. It they even mur- der one of their slaves, and God only knows how often | this is done, though twenty or one hundred, instead of “two or three,” are ready to prove the fact, they only run the risk of being murdered in their turn, for the law does not suffer them to testify against men whose skin is whiter than theirown, But it'may be said, it is “Cosar” who does these things, and what can be expected from Cwsar! What doesthe church? She declares from her highest to her lowest judicatories that these things shall not be in- terfered with ; that the syatem is legal—nay, even Scrip- tural—and that they who declare it isan outrage against republicanism and the Bible, are fanatics and incendiaries. We have reason to believe that neither the Free Churc! of Scotland, nor yourselves, are wholly ignorant of she: things. It is, therefore, with astonishment and grief that we haye learned that you have commenced a tour through the slave States of this Union, with a view to solicit fund: as well of slaveholders as of other persons. Doubtle: ‘ou wilt be wermly greeted b: the pele aud especially if that portion who hold their fellow men aad fellow christians in bondage.

Should you de- termine to preach, a you have been accustomed to do on your native hills, with special reference to the sins of the people to whom you preach, and with exhortations to all classes to act out the great principles of the Gospel, “whether they wall hear or whether they will forbear,” you will spedily learn that the flattering attentions with which you were welcomed will cease ; that no more o| ings will be made to your treasury ; that you will be no tified to qnit the district where you sojourn, “peaceably or forcibly.” You may exhort from the text, “Servants obey your * but, unless you are prepared to have your tour ptly terminated, speak not of the “ image in which man was made ; in’s question, Am I my brother's keeper 7” of Mosi “in righteousness shalt thou indge thy neighbor Challenge ; “ What hast thou to do to declare my statutes 7 When thou sawest thief then thou consentedst wi h him, and hast beet taker with adulterers ;” of Solomon’s sayings, "he righteous considereth the cause of the poor, but the wick- ed regardeth vot to know it.

Should he fling some of his dollars to you, becanse forsouth he affects to sympathise with the oppressed condition of the men of Ross and Sn- therland, will you, can you, panx you stoop to pick them up? Oh, instead of this why not assert the dignity of your calling and country, and say to him, ‘Friend, we seek not yours, but you. We could not have believed, until we came among you, that in this Christian Republic there are nearly three millions of human beings in the con- dition of heathen, and in some respects in a worse condi- tion. We must believe this because your Presbyterian brethren of South Carolina and Georgia say so. That heathenism 1s owing to slavery. Slavery will not allow its subjects to read the bible, nor testify where white men are concerned. Slavery allows the slave members of your Presbyterian church to live in adultery without dieci- pline. It even recommends such to sister churches, as members in good and regularstanding! That system you and your brethren recommend by your example—never preach egainst—nay, even palliate and defend trom your ulpits. Out of yourown mouths, then, you are con- lemned as the abettors of the worst heathenism under heaven. We dare not recognize you as brethren God forbid we shenld touch your money. Whea shall we open our mouths for the dumb, in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction, if not now? We see them drawn to death, and thechain in your hand; they “are whese money i¢ atrocities. He knows full well thai tianity is the real bulwark of his kingdom. wonder-working'providence, has recently set the Scottish Free Church ona high place, and given her an influence that will be felt for good or evil throughout Christendom. Hitherto, dear brethren, the ministers of ‘pare Jand have sent their rebukes to this nation, espeeially to that por. tion of it engaged in the murderous system of slavery,and exportulated with those here professing the same C! tianity, on account of their participation in a crime that sets at defiance its holy precepts. ‘Will you mow, aa you are eye witnesses of the iniqui- m that filled you with such disgust and abhor. rence at a distance, make common cause with that Chris- tianity ? Clasp hands with its defenders, and accept their blood-stained offerings? The Fiend can well atlord, we kuow, to pay you tens of thousands, for he knows that your countenance is worth millions to Aim. If he can purchase the silence of the successors of John Knox and Andrew Thompson, if he can number them among his allies, he may well think his victory complete. Itjis possible that you may allege, in the language of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mis- sions, when they receive, nay, solicit’ the donations of slave-holders, and number among their members those who hold their fellow men in slavery, that “ you sustain no relation to the system that implies approbation. Let us briefly examine tl In 1832 Ann Pray of Georgie left a legacy to the A. B.C. F. M. of one fourth of certain negro slaves. ‘The Board declined the bequest—why, un- less they thought it wreng to own such chattels? Sup- pose, instead of leaving the slaves, the testatrix had be- queathed their value in silver dollars, directing the bones and muscles and immortal minds to be brought to the hammer, and one fourth of the proceeds to be handed over in the shape of a cheque on a baok, would the Board have declined the offer? {{ not—if they would have received the cash, why turn from the human flesh ? If they would have sent the money back, why svlicit the money of slave dealers? Is it not well known that slaves are continually bought and sold at the South, that professors of religion of all denomi- uations—ministers at the Gospel even—trattic in human flesh? ‘The Committee of the Presbyterian Synod of entucky, in 1834, declared, ‘Brothers and sisters, nusbands and wiv arents and children, are torn asunder and permitted to see each other no more These acts are daily occurring in the midst of us.” They say besides, “cases have occurred in our own denomina- tion, where professors of the religion of mercy have torn the mother from her children, and sent her into a merci- jess and returnle exile. Yet acts of discipline have rarely followed such conduct.” In the year 1835 Mr. Stewart of IUinois declared in the Preabyterian Genera) Assembly of the United States, “ ministers of the Gospei and doctors of divinity may engage in this unholy traitic and yet sustain their high and holy calling. Elders, mi- nisters and doctors of divinity are with both hands en- waged in this practice.” A minister of the Amita Presby- (ery, Mississippi, who is a public defender of the system of slavery, deciares, “If buying, selling, or holding a slave for gain is a heinous sin and scandal, then, verily, three foucths of all the Episcopaliang, Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians are of the devil.” How then can any Missionary Board, ar other benevo- lent or religious association, or body of men—how car you solicit money from American slave holders, in a way implying that you recognize them us Christians, and say : We sust sin no such relation to slavery as implies appred of the system? Actions speak louder thi uot the donations of e breeders, sli slave holders, receive: readily and gratefully as the earnings of honest indastry ? Why demur about receiv. ing Ann Pray’s legacy and solicit money from those en gaged in holding men, women and children in bond»ge! it is true that the amount giyen by professing Christians ‘States falls very tar short of the amount given by an equal number of Christians in the free States, of the same means, but it is the priaciple against which we contend, and not the amount of the sums received. It ae ther size of Achan’s wedge that troubled the camp of Israel. Should the fact that the Bible, Tract and Missionary Societies ef this country soticit funds from slaveholder> be considered as a justification of your making application to such persons, on behalf of the Free Church of Scotland, allow us to say that the example of these institution this respect, is no proper precedent, unless the pract right in itself. We observe farther that those societies, as has been often urged, are not to be held guiltless in this matter, You may not be aware that they are composed in part of slayenolders and pro-slavery men, who have ever maintained an influence in their councils which her their numbers, their contributions nor their principles have justified, and that for ral years past there has been a growing sentiment in thie country, that it is wh ly inconsistent with the principles of Christianity for re- ligious or benevolent associations to solicit money from slave-holders, which is but the price of blood, for the pur- pose of converting men to the religion of Christ. Because the societies above mentioned will not refrain from fellow- shipping slaveholders as Christians, and soliciting their money for religious purposes, a considerable number of the friends of the Redeemer have declined contributing to their treasuries, and new organizations have been formed in the missionary department, and are contemplated in the other de partments, to be free from the “wages of unrighte- ousness, The Christian abolitionists of this land need your aid, dear brethren, in pulling down the strongholds of oppres- sion, and they feel that you will] not be sustained in your consciences, or by that numerous and venerated body which you represent, if thy directly er indirectly oppose them, by strengthening the hands o/ their opponents You will hear the abolitionists of this country denounced by ministers, elders and private professors of the Presbyterian Church, as well ot the North as at the South, but in order to judge how far the denuncistions are correct, you will naturally compare their doctrines and measures with the doctrines and measures of the abolitionists in Great Britain, and not take up an evil report on hearsay, and without due investigation. Our doctrines and measures, you will find, if you personally investigate the matter, are identical with those of Wilberforce, Clarksou, Andrew Thompson, and the other worthies who, amidst threats, calumny and violence, carried on the anti ery cause in our father-land, under the Divine blessing to a glorious consummation. For twelve years the abolitionists of country have been contending with great earnestnes: amidst reproach and contumely, not only from the vee holding States, but from interested politicians and profess. ing Christi vur brethr f{ every denomination—for the poor slaves, ‘fellow countrymen ; and for their own ileges, as intended to be secured to them ution of government. Believing that the urch isfthe bulwark of American slavery, they have labored to arouse it to a due sense of its sin, to vepentance and works meet fai been made, aided in the good wor! ers to God, and their remonstrances with the American (| the tnholy alliance subsisting between the sluye power and the professed followers of Christ urch.

This, Christian brethren, is a deed we devoutly de- precate, and we rempectialy and earnestly implore of you not to fellowship slave holders as Christians, not to their “ filthy lucre,” not to dishonor the Free Chu of Scotland, by flattering American presbyteriana in their sins ; notto have your lips sealed here or on your return by those who bind you to silence on the sinfulness of slavery by their courtesies or benefactions ; not to weaken the hands of American abolitionists aud strengthen the bands that bind the poor slaves—-not to offend God, by using ‘the woges of unrighteousness” obtained .in this country to build up His cause in your own land, But should you, despite of our friendly’ warning and urgent Christian remonstrance, solicit money acquired by the sale of American Christians, and men made heathen by the cruel system of slavery, we can only express our firm confidence that your constituents, the Free Church of Scotland, will refuse to receive the polluted silver and gold, and return it to those who gave it.
