AIkssrs. Editors:- Wi!I you offord me a little roorn in yonr pnper to correct an error in tlio New Vork Evangelisr. The correction made in your paper will meet the eye of thote moat parlidiJaily nttreste. ín ll;e roport of llie nnrrn:ivc'&f ih state cf religión os given ot the Western Cunven(i"ii reeen: ly held tri De'.roit, I om representad os Fnying of the JJckeon Af-ocialion, tliot 'Recent aiiempts lo pttu awislavery resohitions in one of the TaVgest c'iurclies havedivided n - but no poliiical nboütionUm." All who khfw what cliurch was referred tn-knéw t'hat i-U'h a statement is not true n fnci- and tiie nti few ords qtiutrri may be made '.o moan almosinny thing', nn3 every ihi.'iof different l'rouj wliat my statement Wi-S.
