VIRC UIBn ar uune tucm ui luunu uciiisions The Anniversaries of tho American Anti-Slave ry Society have been f lithful types of the condition of the general mind. In the earlier days, the l'l it form bore the weight of a largo proportion of cler gymen of various denomination, within it. ample verge. They wero not a. a gonoral thing, the most eminent in rank of their denominations, and the denomination, wero rather of the r.umblor And democratic than of tho wealth ier and ariato'ir.uii) descriptions. Tho very fow clergyinonof worldly distinction that wero hi trayed iuto a temporary sympathy with tho Move ment, in its earlier days, anon discovered nnd re traced the false steps they had made. The honest gentlemen who held by tho platform for awhile (and we believe that most of them were, honest then, whatever they iniuht have become nftnrwnrds) saw in tho Slave Population n field for Missionary la bor, unhappy fellow-men deprived of Gospel pri yiloKC. and condemned to heathen darkness in n land of Christian lijlit, nnd they accepted the Anti-Slavery Movement as a now sort of Ihnnestic Missions, which was to convert mastors and slaves to tho particular form of Christianity they receiv ed. And we mean to tncludo in this .category many laymen of piety nnd real for religion who sisei to swarm upon tho platform. But in duo time tho Great American Church gave nil these to understand, by the mostuncquivocal indications, that such was not tho creed of tho Amoriean Church. They wore told, in significant signs or by emphatic silonco, that any doctrine, winch went to unchurch the communicant, nnd unfrock )hc i. of ,...V,oir tl. ..mtrr wcr .'nmnol.lo ' lieresiethat the Church was the first love of the !

Thoso, again, who were once ornaments oi our piaiionn, nnu wnoso name illustrated our Official Lists, disappeared from our rank., some to go to Congress, sumo to State Senates, some to comfortable official stations, and some to an unwelcome obscurity. But tho platform .till stood, and those remained .corned as tout of heart as beforo those npo.tneies. The rising wave, of public opinion, stirred by the huzol of Anti-Slavery, reached first the Church, and afterwards the State, and those who clung to the high place, of either betook them selves to other deliveraneos but the Nilometor .till stood firm J . . ,..o . 1 ... ana marked the hoight to which u naa ricon wuen it sweept them away, There came a time yet harder to hide than any tit those, and that was when tho Idea first dawned 'that T)ty to the Slave required the Sacrifice of nl 'legiance to the 'Constitution of the country, and demanded Revolution as the only way of escape, '-for black slaves or white freemen, from the dospo ' ti.tn which was organised iuto a fundamental no--ecenity. Then, many who were precious to u. aould ce no longer eye to eye with us, and left our company in much sorrow and in no anger. Aad so ws were loft with yet diminished ranks, but still presenting a front to the enemy, which -was never mistindorstood by thom, at least. Our simple prinolple has been, from the beginning, to weigh all opinions, characters and institutions in th Tmlances of the Slave's iustinct. We have tried truly to fool with them, and to see whutovor affected tbe-r condition with their oyos. Vft have Ttelieved this to be the true test of all institutions, oclesiutieul and political, In the couutry and we treated them as wo found that they stood it. This is the true seorot of the apparent weukues. of our Instrumentalities, and of the manifest aud marvel lous results they have brought about.
