As it respects the relations of ien. ltetmbers of the Methodist Church to the suhject of slavery, they are as absolutely bound by one oI the fundaaental articles of their religion (the 23d) to respect tle. iuo'ltution as title of civil government, as they are to recognize the Executve, Ut the Legislative, or tile Jeadacial depart maWisd of the Governueut.

Those which represent the system of Slavery as it exists in these Uimitcd States, as a great t vil, and pray this General As setnbly to adopt measures for the aimehjo ration of the condition of the Slaves. 2. Those which ask the Assembly to receive memorinls on the subject oh Sla very, to allow is full discussion of it, and to enjomn upon the mseiters of our church, reiding in States whose laws forbid tie slaves being tiught to read, to seek by all lawful means the repeal of those lan s. 3.
