All Ihese, we say, nre by no means discouraging,

of the end. Ylut, while >ve mark, nnd expose, these
struggles of the actual slaveholders against the
advance of civilization nnd Christianity ,
it ia of the
utmost importance to mark, and expose, the corro
spouding efforts or " the grenl bulwark of slavery,"
the American Church, with lis leading- parb'sans and
organs, and their tortuous and treacherous manccu-
Wc ham heretofore spoken of the undisguised com-
plicity Willi slavery shown in the recent anniversnnes
of the Episcopal Convention in this city, and of the
American Tbjnrd or Com missioned for Foreign Mis-
sions at Boston. We have nlao described the treach-
erous devices by which the most widely circulated
"religious" newspaper In the country, while saying
many hard things nguinst slavery and its apologists,
and thus securing the n-vme of opposition to that wick-
edness, has bultrcssed it in the manner most effective
of all, by persistcaily holding open tho door of the
Chureh for the admission of slaveholders. We liar-
now to speak or the latest evasion, at once false ar
Ition to shivery in su..-h a manner nt kiconden

It is absurd to say that a practical opposition
nvcry is carried on by apposing Legree as ft in'
ter aud at the same lime defending Dr. Adams re
Christian. Yet The Independent takes, and adheres
liou, in spile of the obvious fact that the
of Dr. Adams aud his pro-slavery
fellow -clergy men is the very force that keeps the bru-
tality of I-Pgrec from breaking down the system which
they both advocate.
When the Chureh separates herself from slavery,
slavery will sink, from the utter rottenness or its
other supports. The gtent trial has now begun whe-
ther sho will so withdraw, or wait
ruin overwhelms both. She would not hear the Abo-
f . Another chance is mercifully givi
to hear the same momentous tenths from the lips of

tho reason why most reoplo emigrate. Within my

» Bunset," or the western end of the world. I once saw

the father whore they were going. " 01

But forty years have nude havoc with oui- Weston

And fearful injuetlee and wickedness have attended
the march in both those directions. Piracy on the se

aud Hammond, but having no copy in my possession I
shall bo unable to give Ihem to you.
In the afternoon, George W. Pulnnni made a stirring
nnd impressive speech upon the religious nspecla of Hie
.use. His remarks, tbuugh very radical in tone, were
;
eeived with much apparent interest. The Rev. Mr.
Hammond again addressed the Convention, advocating
he union of political effort with moral agitation against
lavery. Tho Convention was next addressed by Hon.
;errlt Smith, This. was the llrst public meeting in
vlnch he had spoken, from home, in nearly two yenrs.
Ir seems, lo be in excellent health. He denned very
doqucntly bis idea of true religion, its simplicity and
iccllence; also gave his views of the Divine govern-
nont, as npplied to slavery. In the light or his doQm-
ion of truo religion, human government, he argued,
ihould be truly religious, and lo vote was an obligation
lot to be set aside. Absence from the polls was a dere-
ictldn of duty. 1 cannot give yon anything like a full
sketch of his, or of any of the Bpceclics. A. M. Powell
raised the inquiry ns to the relation of Mr. Smith, and
such as nro with him in belief, to the actual estati
organization, called government, by and through whi
laves are held and hunted, Such an nrganiiatii
nown nnd recognised as government, could not
ruly religious, the polls thereof certainly cold n-t
f Divine appointment, nor absence therefrom,
art, be a dereliction of duty. Wl
ml nvoweoTy for revolution? A
idercd it an anti-slaver v duty to recognize the proson'
nachinery of government only ns n conspiracy, cou-
pling ngainst the liberty of a nation of slaves.
Mr Smith responded, that though the polls ond other
rovemroentnl arrangements were in the hands of wicked
nen ho would go among them, cast his ballot for
righteoua rulers, and so be an exemplar of truth and
among his fellow-men. Hedelende.l Ins course

Shivery is the thing practised by slnveholders.
Without slaveholders, slavery would have no exist-
