Slavery and the Free Church.—A public meeting of the members and friends of the Glasgow Emancipation Society was held in the City-hall, on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of passing a memorial to the General Assembly of the Free Church, imploring them to renounce Christian fellowship with American slaveholders, and to send back the money. The meeting was a very large and influential one ; and, on the motion of Mr* Watson, Councillor Turner was called to the chair. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Henry C. Wright, Frederick Douglass, James M. BufFum, and George Thompson, in long and eloquent speeches, which were listened to with the most profound attention ; and resolutions were adopted by acclamation in favour of the object of the meeting. A Mr. James Pinkerton and another individual defended the conduct of the Free Church, but the feeling of the meeting was entirely against them.—Glasgow Argus.C nnnnnf avt vnAir rrtr w Rnnnnnir W.n r a aad a t irrrn nit _
