Christian Fellowship With Slaveholders

On Monday evening,a public meeting was held in the Rev. Mr. M'Gilchrist's Chdrch, Roso Street, to protest ngainst holding Christian fellowship with the slaveholders of America. Baijje Gray, who was called to tho chair, roferred to sluvery as being one of the greatest evüs which afllicted the human race; and that theduty consequently devolved upon them as Cliristians to lifttheirtestimony against it. Il was a great honor, he said, that this nation had now put away the horrid evilj but it was deplorable to think that the obnoxious system existed in all its worst features in a civilized and enlightened country like America. Resolutions, denouncing American slavery as a system which was contrary to natura 1 reason, sound policy nnd justice; and furthcr, tlmt as it was condemned by the wholo tenor of God's Word, it became the Christian Churches of this country to hold no fellowship with thsse of America, until tlie accursed and abominable thing was put out from nmong them - were proposed by the Rev. Mr. Anderson, of Loanhead, the Rev. Dr. Willis, of Glasgow, the Rev. Mr. Reid, of the Lothian Road Church, and the Rev. II. C. Wright, from America. The speakers detailed some of the inhuman suíTerings which the poor slaves endured in the United States; and referred to the indificrence with which the entire system was regarded by the ministers of the gospel in that country - many ofwhom even participated in it, and seemed ns vindictive in their cruelty and oppression to the poor negro, as if the divine word which they professed to teach inculcated such barbarity and mhumanity. - The remarks of Drs. Cunningham and Candlish at 'tho late Presbytery of Edinburgh werc severely commented upon; and a hope was expressed, although an inferior court had refused to raise its voice against the subject of slavery in America, that tho General Assembly of the Free Church would do so. The Rev. Mr. Reid, in the course of his speech, read a letter from the venerable Thomas Clarkson, addressed to Mr. Wright, expressing the delight h feit at the bright prospects opening up for the antislaverv cause
