At the late meeting of the American Board of Foreign Missions, the subject of Slavery was the one of most interest. A committee appointed last year made a lengt hy report. It was admitted that in the missionary churches under the care of the Board among the Choctaws and Cherokees, both slaves and slaveholders were received into the Churches. The Committee thought that Slavery was a bad thing - but not such a sin as ought to exclude the perpetrator from Christian commnnion. A long discussion followed; after which the Report was unanimously adopted. We have no space for the lengthy details; nor should we be inclined to insert ihemifwehad. The efforts of Abolitionists, in our opinión, are very foolishly expended when laid out on a body of Doctors of Divinty. Better f ar to apply ourselves at once to the peoplc, andstrive to interest them for the delivery of our brother who has fallen among thieves, leaving the Prlests andLevites,if they will, to pass by on the other side.
