No. S, Second Htory, TERMS Two Dollars per annum, nm,payabl of the yeai clnad- For the Republican. Reply to Rev. Henry Whiteman. Mn. Editob: I thank you for a paper containing an attack from the above named gcntloman, upon me and my lecture. Ho charges me with "bate tlander" "delib erate ful3thooiP'-o.& saysiI am anirtn.I shall prove or retract my atatemeuts; but he doubts whether I will do either. Now whether the Rev. gentleman has "hydrophobia" abolitionism, or a ''hydrophobia" sectarianism, I will not aiiirm, but your readers will, beyond doubt, believe him mad, when he wrote that article. Allow mc.firat, to say that I bad no idoa of slandering the M. L. Church, or even attacking it in the extract made from my lecture, but intended simply to show on what shallow pretests the South mob Northern men. But the gentleman says "thore are erf fast three falsehoods in that extract." Now as the writer has been so loose in bis specifications, 1 must help him to be doflnite. I say "Bishop Janes is a Southern man in his feelings." A falsehood, says the ltev. Mr, Whiteman, "Bishop Janes was born in the North." Who denied that? Did I say he was born in the South? Mr. W. says "be has ever stood above suspicion." Who denies that? Who has asserted the contrary? I have said, "he noverhad abolitionism enough to subject him to suspicion," in that respect he has stood abovo suspicion. And I am ready to grant that be is a respectable man, and I never breathed any other sentiments about him. Vir. W. says "his abolitionism is not of the hydrophobia kind which would load him to bear false witness against bis neighbor," &o. What kind of abolitionism is "hydrophobia" abolitionism? Now, Mr. Editor, let me put a few plain questions to the Bev. Mr. W, lias Bishop Janes ever claimed to be an abolitionist at nil? Would he not regard it as slander to bo called one? When did he ever writo one article, tmtence or line in favor of abolitionism? Has he ever protested against slave-holding in the M. E. Church in all the discussion tending to rid that church of slave-holding members and ministers has Bishop Janes ever uttered one manly protest. Give the book, chapter and verse. Did be not sign the address to the General Conference of 1856, expressing "strong doubts" whether the General Conference had the right to legislate slavory out of the church? Was he not the S( uthcrn candidate in 1844, and pending all that discussion, did he utter one word condemnatory ol slavebolding in the M. E. Church? Be so good, liev. Sir, as to answer like on honest man, yes or no. In Deo. 185G, Dr. McFerrin, editor of the Kashmlle Christian Advocate addressed several letters to Bishop Merris; in the first of which he makes the following statements: "You have this day many large slaveholders in your division of the church. You hww that in Maryland and Virginia you have hundreds, yea, thousands, of members who hold slaves, that you hare ordained deacons and ciders iu tho ministry of your church who are slaveholders. You yourself, have ordainid lothe veork of the ministry many a slaveholder." Farther on, he adds: "The M. B. Church South, has iu the ministry ordained deacons and elders wt.o are slaveholders. So has the M. h. Church North. These slaveholders ol tho South wero elected to the work and office by the Annual Conference of the South. So were thosu elected by the Con Terences ol the Northern division. They were ordained by the laying on ol the hands of the bishops. Bishop Waugh, Bishop Morris sod Bishop Janes, have ordained slave holders to the office of deacon and elder, to my certuin knowl edge." c now understand what the broad intel-ledual.se iplurul abolitionism of Bishop Janes amounts to. lie is so charitable that he can lav his episcopal hands on the head of one who is guilty of what Wesley called the "sum of all villainy." It may not be in good taste to bint that inch man is a sycophant, and I shall not as a matter of taste defend it, but the lacts justify mo in saying, he is a Southorn man in his feelings, lie has never used his official influence, nor his talents, to rid the M. E. Church of the crime of slavebolding. He has tried to prevent legislation shutting slaveholders from her pale. He has ordained slaveholders to '-the office and work of elders in the church of God." Now, though he may be "above suspicion," in other respects, I put the question to your readers whether these statements do not raise the suspicion, that he was born without a backbone. And here I leave this maltor, having disposed of two of the tAree false statements referred to by Mr. W. The next point is the character ol the conference over which Bishop Janet was presiding. Here my brother is more doflnite. He says be knows that conference, and there is not one slaveholder, or dclondor of slave holding among them. On the other hand, he represents them as self-sacrificing, heroic opponents of sluvehotding. Now, I will not charge Mr. W. with falsehood, but I question tho accuracy of this statement. Let the rcadur boar in mind, that Mr. W. says he hwws them. Does he mean be is personally acquainted, with them? He knows them to be magnanimous anti-slavery men. The meeting that raised the mob commit-teo passed certain resolutions, in which they do not set forth ono word ever uttered, or act done, by the said Conference, except that of holding a connection with the Northern church, and that it is the intention ol "their northern coagutor," to do away with the institution of slavery. Mark not the intention of the Conference, but of sorao of their Northern allies tc destroy slavery. They do further say that a 'minister of taid NorQternlt. K Church," had OxU day uttered sentiments upon the streets opposed to the Interests of the South, they don't protend that any of these brave, magnanimous anft-sluvery men, who are "bearding the lion in his den," bad ever, at any time or place, ottered any such sentiments. It would be interesting to know what (hat minister of the "Northern Church" did say. The meeting, instead ol fixing upon some specific thing done br these anti slavry min isters, reasoned in this round about way. 'The Northern (Jhurch differs from the South ere on the subject of slavery, and therefort tuey uiusiM suujuwuiau wny Uid tney not point to something they hod done, the re' rot'unal to receive slaveholders to cht roh fellowship, or something of this sort. Their bearding the lion is like tickling an elephant with a feather. Again this conference is in slavebolding territory, and slaveholders are received just as freoly to tbe Northern as to the Southorn branch of the church. In all tbe conferences which embrace slavo territory, including the Philadelphia and Baltimore Conferences,lhere are slave holding members, class leaders, stewards local and traveling preachors, and this Mr. Wbitoman knows, and dare not deny it. If he does I will publish the proof before him and your readers.More than this. These more Northern conferences disclaim being abolitionists, or having any desire to agitate the question of slavrey in the church. Jn an address to the slaveholding portion of the Philadelphia Conference, signed by J. P. Durbin, and four othor leading members, thoy say they are suspected of teing abolition ists -they disclaim it, and point to the conduct of thuir ministers for 60 years, as a reputation. They po'nt to the standing question, put to a candidate for admission to tbe conference "Are you an abolitionist?" and declaring none could be received who did not answer in the negative, claim that as a refutation. Of this Conference, I believe, Bishop Janes was a member before his election.;- Now what Mr. Whiteman wishes us to believe, is that the Cutference down in Texas, is an exception that fay are magnanimous anti-slavery men. Mr. Editor, I have made this article too long, but may, in a future one, go even a little further into this matter, asking your readers to bear in mind, that I said what I did from a knowledge of what more northern Conference! of the M. E. Church are, and fairly presuming this is no better. 1 now say, If Mr. W. is a mam, he will retract his charges of falsehood, or prove them, llespectfully, W. II. BREWSTER. Cleveland May 26th.
