Treat had been the mouthpiece, Kev. Dr. Blanchard, of Illinois, moved the following resolutions by way of amendment : — ♦Resolved, That this Board distinctly admits and affirms the principle, that slaveholding is a practice which is not to be allowed in the Christian Church. ♦ Resolved, That it is, in the judgment of the Board, the duty of our missionaries in the Cherokee and Choctaw nations to discontinue the practice of hiring slaves of their owners to do the work of the missions ; and, in th...e reception of members, to act on the prin- ciple laid down by Mr. Treat and the Prudential Committee, that slaveholding is prima facie evidence against the piety of the candidates applying for ad- mission to the church. ' This amendment was unanimously rejected ; but afterwards, in consideration of Dr. Blanchard's con- sent to withdraw it, the rejection was reconsidered by a vote of forty to thirteen, and the following compro- mise ended the matter. Dr. Elanchard withdrew his resolutions, and the Board agreed that they might be entered on the records of the meeting.
