STRATFORD, Cai Watl Lth Nort STR--Perinit me, through your valuable paper, to enter ny PROTEST asa Canadian, against the action of the itagular Baptists of Canada, by which they have lately re- solved, at their annual confarence at Water- ford [town-ship of Townsend] held on the 15th October, to consider to agree to connect themselves with the [Baptist] Theological Seminary of Rochester, New York State, and to raise in Canada the sum of twenty- two thousand [22000] dollars to endow a theological professor-ship in that Seminary, for Canadians.--A meeting for that pur- pose is to be held at Brantford, on the 19th of November instant. My reasons of pro- test are: 1.--That, thet 'Theological Seminary, is pro- slavery--silent, or entirely neutral on the most important and vital question of Slavery. 'That Seminary is under the man | agement and contro! of the [Northern Regular Baptists of the United States, who fellowship with, and countenance the slavery Baptists of the South. I state: this apart from the material question of « republicanism' -and its tuition to Canadians. 'The information asked as to that Seminary was as follows: "I wish to konw if the "Theological Seminary [ Baptist] of Roches. io is recognized by you and the anti-sla- "'very party" as an anti- -slavery instiution; "that is, that its feelings and wishes are for "the emancipation of 'the slave, anda de- "" nouncing of the system of slavery: or is it a " pro- slavery concern or silent? * * * Rey. "Z. Freeman and Rev. E. G. Robinson, " D.D., and Deacon O, Sage are of that "Seminary as a body.' --[Note--So is Rey. Dr. Anderson, who has formerly ad- dressed the Brantford inhabitans.--See p 21 of Henning's Review.] "You may konw, " or you may not, that the Regular Baptists " of Canada fellowship with the American 'and Foreign Bible Society of N.
