Abolition Church Members. Hear, Hear

Iiev. Alexander McCaiöe, of S. C, the great advocate of the rigbteousness of elavery ftjts it exists at the South uses the fo!lowing langange towards those who hold slavery to be sídíuI, nnd yet remain wilh sinners. "Who, .r, wouid 'choose' tfie exclusive compnnionship of a horse-thief,' with a view of inducing him to abandon thepracticeof horsesfoaling? Or of a blacklcg, with an expectalldn of on him to quite the odious praclice of 'gnmblmg.' Aud sare I am, sir, tiiat ihere is not a virtuoiis lady in the land, thai would select a connnon sirnmpet as her companion, ia preference to all otber fen)ales, witli a view of reforming her. Every iutelligent anr] honcst man would, iustead of choc6xnz the society of sncli persons as have been designated above, studiously avoid them. A contranj course ofconduct, in my opinión, invaliddtcs têsïimoriy - rrjlecte on the consistmey - and impvgns the motives of all whojoin, OR, remain in the fcllowship of a churchwhieh recognizes elnvery, and entertnin tlie same opinión whieh you do on that subject." The above knguage is used in Mr. McCaine's first letter 10 Rev. Luther Lee, in a debate now going on between them in the True Wesynn, on the proposition by Mr. Lee, that "SJavery as iL exista in the U. S. is a great moral evil- a sin against God." In the bentiments above expressed by Mr. McCaine, we huve evidence conclusive that the flaveholdere feel themselves juslificd by the simple í'uct, t!iat Northern Chnsüans remain in ("hurcii feUowship Wiih thcaij in the same church orgnnizaüon, no maller vhat their verbal protcsrations are aainst the system of slavery. Will not our northern profossed abolitionists take a hint irotn tliis testi.nony of a slaveboldingr divine, Ih'at ío be consistent, j they onght to abandon a church that ' ships manstealers?
