He case ed Demoralization of the Age—The Danger and the Remedy. We hear a great deal about the prosperity—the unexampled growth—the fast accumulating resour- ces of the United States. On all hands are pointed out, with joy and gladness, beckoning omens of fu- ture greatness. And all this is quite natural. The signs of the times are, indeed, full of hope and cheer; but for all that, the calm and thoughtful observer, as he looks abroad upon this country, sees much to oc- casion disquietude and alarm. Influences of e' of disorganization—of general disaster, are at work in the land. He is no patriot, no friend to his race, who shuts his eyes to that which is dark and threat- ening in the aspect of hts time. Let us, then, in the midst of all the glad shoutings ef prosperity, which are ascending from all quarters, and when the nation, girding up its loins for battle, rejoices, with fresh enthusiasm, in its strength, candidly, and in the spirit of true philosophy, examine the progress and causes of that demoralization which casts its portentous shadow on various portions of our belo- ved land. First, we would direct the attention of our readers to the dark deeds of mobocracy, for years past, ever and anon, startling the friends of law and order.— The burning of the Convent at Charlestown, is one ot the most memorable illustrations, of late years, of this accursed spirit of popular ignorance, prejudice and passion. That black deed was perpetrated in a section of the country which is, in the eye and belief of many, the chosen sanctuary of civil and reli- gious liberty—the very citadel of all those glo- rious principles of freedom, truth and order, which constitute the foundation and glory of the Repub- lic. We need not recapitulate the horrors of that scene. But did it excite that universal and overwhelming burst of public indignation which the occasion demanded? Were the actors in it covered with the infamy they deserved ? Has the convent been rebuilt? Alas! the blackened walls still stand a monument of that unpunished, unatoned y!” We admired the deep tone of compassion he gave the apostrophe to the stricken deer. is week closes the eng: We are sorry to cry a> ove every other, the pressis all-powerful. And as one portion of the press has been the chief instru- ment in sowing the seeds of evil, soto another por- tion of it is committed the great work of destroying x them. In the inpEPeNDENT JouRNaLIsM of this coun- try, the patriotism and intelligence of the republic have firmly reposed their confidence ; and in the widening and growing influence of that mighty agent of conservatism, of reform, ot pure morality, and of enlightened philosophy, we must look tor the preservation of society in ate of peace, order, and continued prosperity. Day by day this influence grows. This we have seen most signally displayed within the last few months. On the single question of a war with Meaico, whilst the party journals of the country have been idly squabbling amongst themselves, we have been enabled to represent, with such truth and forcefulness, the feelings and im- pulses of the great masses of the people, that our circulation has been increased several thousands; Casrus Gaaoan.—We can.only say of this place, that and, far better than that, the popular sentiment has | jts attractions are as great as ever; and that Barney been directed, with overwhelming power into the | Williams, and his troupe, prove excellent cards for the proper channel, on this most_important subject.

Mr. Hadaway’s Bailie Nicol was a glorious piece of comicality. The scenery in this piece is very good, and the great applause that was bestowed on several of them not unmerited.— The thrilling drama of the Six Degrees of Crime, with an excellent caste, closed the evening’s entertainment.

Meetings for prayer were held in the morning,be tween 8 and 9 o’clock, at which short but eloquent prayers were made to the “throne of grace.” At half-past 9, A. M., the regular meeting was also opened with prayer, by the Rev. Dr. Yale, of Kings- bury. The minutes of last meeting were read and ap- proved. Letters from Dr. Snell, and others, were now read, regretting their inability to attend the annivereary. The thanks of the meeting were tendered to Dr. Hopkins, for his excellent sermon, and a copy re- quested for publication, The conclusion of the report of the Prudential Committee, an abstract of which we published yes- terday, was now read. Dr. Green now offered memorials and resolu- tions adopted by the Worcester Association and other auxiliary societies, on the subject of slavery. | The memorialists call for am expression of the sen- | ¥ | timents of the Board against a system so iniquitous in its character, and so fearful in 1ts consequences, | and request the Board no longer to devote funds for | the maintenance or support of the system.

Sera Terry, of Hartford, Conn., made some remarks relative to the Jews. He thought there had not been sufficient attention paid to their con- | version—he believed in the “Holy Catholic church,” | and that the seed of Abraham was its root—that the | promises made to Abraham would be kept sacred, j and God be faithful. The seed of Abraham should | yet be converted and restored in such a manner as | would astonish the Christian world, for the plan of | Christian redemption included the restoration of the ; Jews, and the promises of Jehovah would be per- formed as well to the root of the tree as to its | branches. We hope, therefore, the subject would | be taken into serious consideration. Rev.

The motion of reference pre- vailed, and a special committee was appointed. THE SLAVERY QUESTION. Rev. Da. Woops, of Andover mittee appointed last year to consider the subject of the connection of the Board with Slavery, now rose and read a long report on the subject. The Committee did not deem it necessary to disc’ the general character of Slavery—its wickedn malign influent there was little difference of opinion on this matter—but should confine themselves to a state- ment of the principles that should actuate this Board in its future course together witn some facts relating to the subject- Firat—In the manner of preaching the gospel,and every thing relating te the ministrations of religion, there ould be a strict adherence to the gospel and to the ex- ample of Christ and his Apostles. Secondly—The primary aim of missions should be the saving of souls, according to the commission given by Christ to those who are to propogate his word. Thirdly—The ordinances of Christ cannot be denied to such of the heathens, as give evidence of being con- verted. Fourthly—Missionaries, acting upon the gospel, the righful and exclusive judges of what constitutes true piety in converts. Fitthly—They should give such instruction, from the gospel, as they, under their circumstances, deem most fit. The neglect of any duty, and the commission of any known sin, are to be rebuked by them, whenever and wherever brought under their notice, and within their knowledge. Civil and social condition is a secondary consideration to the great object of the conversion of men to christian- ity. The evils of slavery will probably be met, in every place, by efforts to remove or modify them. "They are those of human nature, in its fallen state, and are tobe met by the same influences which are bronght to bear upon other sins. It is an extensive system all around the world—is based upon the worst princi! ples, and must call forth the heartiest condemnation of all 6 christians, and their desire to overthrow it. This can be effected in no other manner than by the prevalence of justice and piety. It is not the only social evil to be met in the mis? sionary work. There are the castes of India, so deeplY degrading to, and so firmly blended with, that country’s institutions and people. Despotic government and its exactious, too, are hindrances to the Mission: labors. Is this board to be held responsible for working out re- organizations in this social system, without first inculca- ting the ordinances of the gospel, and converting those who inflict these evils, to Christianity? The committee thought not. By such influences as this Board should exercise, in their operations, in the inculcation of reli- Opinion, to be effectively remedied—each missionary acting on his best judgment and responsibility, which, in the opinion of the committee, cannot be abridged without injury to the missionary and to the welfare of the heathen. sionaries on the subject of slavery, as existing on the fields of theirlabors. The Cherokee and Choctaw tribes alone hol | slaves of all, among whom there are mission- ary stations established: 583 among the Cheroke among the Choctaws smaller. In 1820—increased, of course, since then, by births, not purchases; by both tribes, (33,000) about 2000 slaves now, inthe hands of mixed blooded Indians, very few in full blooded Indians. Her missionaries went among them, masters and slaves, and preached the gospel to all alike, who would hear; and among the best (as well as the earliest) con- verts among them were slaveholding Indians, as state- ments hereafter to be made would abundantiy verify. Both master and slave were received with equal wel- come, on giving evidence of a change of heart, and a be- lief in Christ and his religion. This is so, also, in the mission churches among those tribes of other Christian denominations. The Committee, strongly as they reprobate slavery, did not believe that it involved such individual guilt, as to preclude every slaveholder from Christian the system, and those who, by circumstances, have been made one of that system’s upholders: and that bad as slavery is, it does not follow that a slaveholder cannot be a Christian. The committee, all of whom signed this report, were the following : Rev. Dr. Woods, Andrew, M: worth, of New York Chancellor Wal- Dr. Tyler, of Connecticut; Rev. Dr. pay in, of Maii Rev. Dr. Sanford, of Mass; Rey. J. W. McLean, Williamsburg; Rev. Dr. Green, of Boston. ‘The Board took a recess for dinner—to meet at three o’clock, when it was understood that the report would be taken up for discussion. AFTERNOON SESSION. The Board met pursuant to adjournment. Turovore Fretincnuysen in the chair. Rev. Dr. Bacon, of Hartford, rose and said he believed the subject under consideration, was the report on the subject of slavery. The memorialists who had leged that some of our Mi neglect of duty, in not be: holding. The points on which he differed from them was not whether slavery wrong—for all agreed that it was an abomination in the sight of God, and all the nations of the earth, but upon the right of the Board to call them to an ac- count. What tis the evidence of Christian piety? They contend that a man holding slaves cannot have any ; but it is a fact, that inthe churches Paul founded, there were believing slaveholders, and the missionaries will Gnd that we shall act on the principles laid down in the Bible and abide by them The gentleman remarked therefore, that he was willing to adopt the report, though he would have liked it better if it contained a dis tinetavowal that slavebolding is not intrinsically a sin, and that the Board were notto be coerced into making it so. Rev. Mr. Grevx remarked, that he believed that was embodied in the Report. Rev. D. Roor rose and hould like to know if the report required the mi f slaves to carry out the Bible doctrines, by dealing fairly, justly and equally with them—for ifa man is guilty of habitual immorality, he is notto be admitted into communion with chris tia The Hon. petitioned the Board, al- naries had been guilty of Mr. Dwiart, of Portland, Mai ‘aid he was in favor of the report as a whole; he did not think the Board orany one hi a right tosay who shall belong to # church of Chris’; that belongs to the great head of the Church; believed, however, that Southern slavers was atutter variance with the true apirtof christianity ind therefore looked upon it with abhorrence.

He would urge uponthe Buard that their ai- vorrence of slavery be registered in that Report Paul «nd a higher than Paul, has said a good man may hol slaves—and we ray #0, but we also say the rystem is wicked and iniquitous. fe called then for an explicit statement from this Board that they recognized this ays- tem ot concubinage, and breaking up families, as wicked in the extreme. Rev, Dr. CLevetann, of Cincinnati, said ho called for asecond reading of the report-—he was was a deep and righteous under-current in The house on this question of slavery ; but he believed, with verbal alterations, the report would be adopted.

If, after appointing your missionaries, you have not sufficient confidence in them to believe they will not connive at wrong, you may as well disband and ive up the whole thing atonce.

Would he be a subjeet for treatment? I am perfectly satisfied (said Mr. Brown,) that there isadeep under current against slavery, and that the patrons of the Board have a deep reverence for them, except in thie matter. Slavery in the abstract is harmless—but slavery as carried out—as ractised at the South by church members is monstrous Peail therefore for an expression of abhorrence.

EVENING SESSION. The Rev. Amos A. Phelps of Boston, now rose to sptak against the adoption of the Report. He thought it very defective. The report (said Mr. Phelps) does euk with the explicitness it should, in regard to it but seems to avoid the question; and] wou to strike out all that part of the report which that slaveholders were admitted into the primitive churches as members, for such, I believe, is not the fact. | He thought, that there was no common ground on which | the members of the Board could meet, unless they talk- ed about ery as about drunkenness, profanene: Sabbath-breaking, &c. If the question of drunkenness were to come before them, they would talk about the system of the thing—they wo: ld say it was wrong and opposed to the spirit of the gospel they would speak of it iy such a manner as to i snehy the practice with the doer, and so he would about slavery. But the report throws the arms of its embrace around the guilty. On this question, as on every other, action speaks louder than words, and why should the Board condemn in strong terms the thing, and when an individual comes | forward, the living incarnation of that thing, receive him and embrace him? They never would do so in re- | ference to drunkenness, swearing or any thing else con- ' trary to the doctrines of Christ. Mr. Puxces now offered several resolutions as amend- ments to the report. | Dr. Tyter said—That after the discussion, he wat more and more satisfied of the wisdom of the report. because it declared slavery a sin. Other gentlemen had objected because it did not do so. rr. Bexcner, of Boston, rose and said: ment has produced the general impression that slavery existed at the time it was writt n. and was sanctioned by it. He did not think slavery at all times sinful and wick- ed, but a system created by law—and if sin, the sin of a body politic, and it does not always involve sin in the in. dividual holding slaves. He did not, however, put tl Southern States where the Roman Empire was in this matter. Ifthey possess more light they will be held The new testa- man could not be a slaveholder and a member of the | church, He believed the tie was coming when the se- | paration from slavery must take place, and unless the joard throw out this idea of the course to be pursued wards the ignorant Cherokees and the enlightened Chris- tians, he feared the report would not give satisfaction. | Dr. Wiswen said, he thought the debate was from the | purpose for which they had met, and was turning a Board | of Foreign Missions into a great Abolition Convention. | Our business (said he) is to send the gospel to the heath- | en, but if we are to discuss this question, though not a prophet, A think our days asa Board are numbered. He would as soon undertake to fill the bottomless pit, as to satisfy these men who had got this idea of Abolitionism into their heads.
