Excerpt from Modern Reform Examined, or the Union of North and South on the Subject of Slavery Yam have passed since I dwelt on the territory of the Third Presbytery of the City of new-york, of which I am a member. I have consequently been denied the privilege of attending many of its sessions during that period. I especially regret my absence from its last five meetings, devoted as they were mainly to the discussion of the late movement of the American Home Missionary Society respecting slaveholding churches. That movement of my brethren of the Society I do not approve. Since, therefore, my Presbytery deemed it pro per to send to the General Assembly a strong vote in its sup port, I rejoice in that moderation which finally declined to pass the commendatory resolutions so elaborately discussed. Indeed, so deep has been my interest in that great question which agitates all society in our day - which lies at the foun dation of diversities, Denominational as well as Presbyterial and which has so recently once more divided our unhappy Church - that I do respectfully solicit of my brethren of the Presbytery and of my Christian brethren and countrymen at large, the privilege of laying before them some general views upon this subject.
