The President's Fast Repudiated. --The South Congressional Church at Georgetown, Mass., of which the Rev. Charles Beecher (brother of H. W. B.,) is pastor, field a church meeting on Sunday evening last, and, after much discussion, resolved not to comply with the President's request for a Fast on the 4th of January. The resolutions, which were adopted by the close vote of 15 to 11, "pitch into" the President and his Message, declare that his reclamation is an act of hypocrisy; that the Constitution ought to be stripped of its slavery rendition and representation construction, and that the present distress is an especial judgment upon the sin of slavery. Mr. Beecher had preached a red-hot anti-slavery sermon in the morning.
