“Resolved , That Beneficiaries in Mer

Georgia Baptist Convention, shall be fur
nished by the Executive Committee with
hoard, washing, lodging, tuition, candles
and the use of Class books by the Li
brarian; but their friends, or the church
from which they come, will be expected to
furnish their clothing.” ♦
The above is a resolution ol the Execu
tive Committee of the Georgia Baptist
Convention in session Dec. 1843.
The Temperance Address is published
in this week’s paper, with a t hope that it will
be generally read. It is customary with
newspaper readers to throw aside long ar
ticles for a more convenient time, and con
sequently they are never read. Let the
length of this deter no one, for it will amp
ly repay a close petusal, or even a careful
review. Attention is particularly called to
the views taken of the effects of Iniemper
ance’upon government. The calculations
are correctly based, and the argument is
conclusive, that this one vice, if permitted
to progress in the same ratio, will under
mine the liberties of the country. Other
Republics have fallen victims to viceoulv. ‘
We have passed gins and snares that have !
trapped some—the deepest gulph is yet
yawning belore us—it must be filled, either ;
with the Temperance pledge, or our free in-!
slitmions and the liberties of the people.—
Who will hesitate to decide which it shall
be?
‘The Creek nation has decreed that all
the white gamblers shall he expelled the
country. A noble stand lor savages to
lake. Nothing is butter calculated to show
olf this class of our people in their fiend
ish characiet than the detestation in which
even the Indians hold them. While it
shows that tribe becoming erect as freemen,
not only knowing their rights, but daring
to assert them, it reflects honor upon the
State of Georgia lor her indefatigable exer
tions to remove them from where they
could never have such rights, to their own
home, where the white dare not intrude
Upon the laws of their tlmv
We have before us the Baptist Record,
Extra. J. M. Peck, G. IL Ide and J. L.
Burrows are to be Editors of a paper to be
issued monthly by the Am. B. I’. & S. S.
S. and devoted “to the religious interests
of the whole country,” ’['lie organization
and .movements of various sects will be
noticed.
Special topics: 1. The objects, plan ol
operations, and measures of the Baptist
Publication Society.
2. Home Missions throughout North
America.
3. Ministerial Education and Training.
4. Miscellaneous Department.
The objects settle the imporlanccof such
a publication. The price allows a large
circulation; and as the profits, if any, are
lo be appropriated to benevolent purposes,
the friends of such institutions should take
hold of the work warmly.
It is high time that the Protestant world
had set up against all holy days except the
Sabbailt. That is the Lord’s day, and
should they succeed in observing it strictly,
it is ali the requisition made upon them in
the Bible. The common manner of obser
ving other days that the people are taught to
regard as equally holy, destroys all rever
ential obligation for the Sabbath injunctions.
What day could appear more sacred than
the birth day of the Saviour? Yet, was it
settled that Ghrislmas was that day, and did
the Bible enjoin its observance, ils usual
festivities would be but extreme blasphe
my. Whether it he the natal day of Christ
or not, if it be set apart as such, and we
profess so to observe it, are not its desecra
tions equally blasphemous? Under either
view, Christians are at fault. They should
either keep the day holy, or decline ils ob
servance altogether. If the latter, they
should labor to impress the world with the
belief that it is not a holy day, and that its
customary festivities give no license to the
same liberties on the Sabbath.
Easier, Whil-Sunday, &.c. are out of ob
servance; our 4th July celebrations are at
tended in a way more congenial with the
spirit of patriotism, while Christmas is
continued as the given time for Satan to
range up and down the land unfettered.—
Every species of abomination and wicked
ness is let loose upon the body politic Ibi
this “once a year”—the floodgates of vice
are thrown open, and the religious world
stands hack a quiet observer, or aids to
swell the torrent as it sweeps over the land
scattering the seeds of wickedness that time
can not outrun, till anew crop is sown in
the same holy way. The consequence is,
that the Christian world is ail the lime clcar
ing away the foul growth sown by its own
permission, or even aid; and they may
clear and clear through all time, and as long
as they sow the same seed they will never
more than begin to build up the Kingdom
of Christ.
It is a matter of peculiar pleasure, that
in this place we have no cause of com
plaint. We have no grogshops here, and
consequently no drunkards or gamblers.—
Our stieets have been all peace and quiet
ness—the diversions and pastime have been
such as might be natmal to the winding up
of a year’s business, &c. But whilst this
has been our good fortune, what a tale
might not he told of other places?
Then our honest conviction is, that if
we can not do away with the hilarity and
glee incident to the closing of the year,
general release from business, &c. it is our
botinden duty to have it pass off as such,
and not as a part and parcel of out religious
observance. Let the Pope set apart St.
Patrick’s day, and as many other holy days
as will cover the year, and then calender
the balance of the Saints in an -All Saint’s
Day, but let the Christian—“llsnieinber
the Sabbath, to keep it holy,”
“Rev. Sir.—Official ami other engage
ments h ive prevented me from returning
j an earlier answer to your letter, soliciting
me to contribute to the erection of an Epis
: copal church at North Castle.
| “ Born and educated in the Protestant
Episcopal Church, I am attached to it not
merely from early association, hut from a
, conviction of the purity of its doctrines,
and the innocency and utility of its forms.
Alter innoli reflection and acquaintance not
veiy limited, with oilier religious denomi
nations, 1 have come to the conclusion that
our chinch as exhibited in the Prayer-Hook
und homilies, is the purest Church in
Christendom ; and I I'reaely acknowledge j
that it is both my duly and privilege to aid I
in the extension of such a Church.
*• But as it often happens that the admin • i
islrutiou of civil government is adverse to
die great constitutional principles, on which
the government is founded ; so ecclesiasti
cal history affords not (infrequent instances
ol pastors anil members of churches deny
ing, evading, and disregarding doctrines in
which they have professed their unbelief.
The present state of our church is a mel
ancholy illustration of this remark. We
are by name a Protestant Church, yet with
a powerful party among us die word Prot
estant has become a proverb and reproach.
V cry few ol our bishops in the official ad
dition to their signatures will condescend
to avow themselves, bishops of‘the Protest
ant Church,’ and you will recollect that
Bishop B. T. Omlerdonk did not shrink
• min recommending to the convention to
strike out the words ‘Protestant Episcopal,’
front the style of our Church.
“ When I witness the unceasing and voi
lent struggle to add strange doctrines to our
faith, and foolish mummeries to our wor
-1 counot avoid apprehending its ultimate
success, and I run compelled to ask nivself,
how far I can lawfully aid in the extension
of a Church, which I am constrained to
admit is daily becoming more and mote
corrupt. Hence 1 have for some.lime past
refrained from giving money for any church
purposes, except under such circumstan
ces as warranted the belief that it would
lend to advance the genuine doctrines of
our Church.
“ I am not forgetful of our blindness to the
future, and admit that it is no excuse lor j
not doing good, lest possible stone evil con
sequences may hereafter arise from our
charity. But I look at the Church as she
now is. I read the ineeoncilable sonli- j
incuts of our clergy, 1 note the hostile lone!
of our opposing journals, and I hear of, j
and sometimes witness innovations in our
service, springing from piinctipies which j
must lead to other and greater ones. On j
die whole, I am irresistalily brought to the
conclusion that our Church has reached a
crisis, that it cannot remain as it is, that it
is in a transition state, and must be purified,
or corrupted, or divided. No one acquaint- i
oil with the present slate of things can ven- I
ture lo deny that within one or two years, !
some reviler of die Reformation, some an
atliematizer of Protestantism, some glori
fier of tradition as the rule of faith, may
proclaim from die pulpit at North Castle,
dogmas, for opposing which my own an- !
eestors were driven from their native land, 1
bv Popish persecution. The condition of
our Church compels me lo decline for the
present , (hut with the most hitter and mor
tifying regrets,) a compliance with your
request.
“ Be assured you will do me great injus
tice if you suppose that any tiling 1 have
written, has the most distant reference to
yourself personally. Os you, 1 have nev
er heard or seen ought inconsistent with the
obligations of a “Protestant Episcopalian,”
or of a faithful minister of Jesus Christ.—
I owed to myself to explain die reasons of
my conduct, and whatever you may think
of their insiiflieientoy, I beg you to believe
that they are in no degree incompatible
with the respect and confidence with which
I am, reverend sir, your very obedient ser
vant. Wm. Jay.”
The above seems to have been prompted
by the signs of the times before Puseyism
declared itself fairly. It was a bold stand
against encroachments upon the tenets of
the church, and in a practical way. It has
been contended by many that Episcopacy
was but a step in advance of Popery.—
Puseyism puts it upon the same ground,
and is but the legitimate result of a legal
religion. The law can but regulate forms
and ceremonies—it cannot judge of the
slate of the heart, or the influences of the
Spirit, consequently, when its forms are
adhered to, ils religion is perfect. You
might constitute the revivalists, into a church
who go alone upon impulsive heartfelt reli
gion, and lettlicm be regulated in their move
ments bylaw, and in three generatinos all
soul-felt emotion would be banished their
worship for the prosy observance of statutes.
We clip the following from an exchange
paper as the substance of Puseyism:
About ten years ago, some half a dozen
clergymen of the Church of England, Dr.
j Pusev among the number, conferred, to
gether, and agreeing that high church prin
! ciples bad lailen into practical neglect of
late years, they commenced issuing at reg
ular intervals, the celebrated “ Tracts for
the Piines,” which reached the 90th num
bei, when the Bishop of Oxford arrested
their publication. The ttacls advocated
most ol the essential doctrines of the Ro
man Catholic Church :
1. Apostolic succession in both Protest
ant and Catholic Churches.
2. The regeneration of children by bap
tism.
3. There is no salvation fur those out of
the pale of the Church.
4. The authority of the Church is high
er than the state, and that the sovereign and
the senate are bound to submit to the dic
tum of the Church.
5. I’lie writings of the Fathers are pre
ferred to the writings of the inspired Evan
gelists, and the leiteis fotlie Apostles.
0- Thai the Scriptures ought not to be
read by the laity, unless accompanied by
an exposition ol their meaning to he found
in the books ol Common Prayer.
7. Pile atonement, requiring the religion
of the heart, is virtually rejected.
8. I'liat religion mainly consists in the
observance ol forms anil ceremonies.
9. That llie bread and wine in the sacra
ment are converted by the clergy, into the
actual flesh and blood of Christ, and that
sacrament constitutes a kind of enntinun
lion of the atonement of Christ on the
cross.
The same principles from a Catholic are
grossly absurd; but from a branch of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, they find
their way easily to the hearts of the people.
Will men never learn to lake things on their
own merils, and to not be gulled bv popu
lar names?
A Suspicious Circumstance.
When we hear one speaking evil of
another, we always suspect him of having
done an injury to the one whose merits lie
labors to depreciate, and nine times out of
ten the snspeeion will be found to be any
thing but groundless ; and yet—how strange
it is !—men are ever ready to believe an
evil repoit ol those who occupy prominent,
stations in society. The more eminent a
man is, the more liable is lie to be assailed
by tiie slanderer—of the really vile or in
significant they have but little to say. If
therefore you see one active in bis endeav
ors to infuse into the minds of others, an ill
opinion of his neighbor, you may be sure
that neighbor, if he has some faults, has
merits enough to counterbalance them.—

Worthy of Imitation.
We see from the minutes of the General
Association of United Baptists of Missouri,
that a donation of 810,000 has been gener
ously offered by Dr. Jewell, towards the
establishment of a College and Theological
Seminary, to be under the direction of the
Baptist Denomination in Missouri. Also
that Jeremiah 11. Neal, of Montgomery
county, Missouri, did, by bis last will and
testament, bequeath the sum of SI,OOO for
promoting the cause of missions, to be
paid over to, and appropriated under the
direction of this Association. The Associ
ation has taken active anil prompt measures
for carrying the generous designs of the
donors into effect.
A few more such liberal examples and a
more general imitation of the same, would
soon not only increase intelligence and a
general diffusion of knowledge in the De
nomination, hut be productive ol beneficial
results, the amount of which the annals ol
eternity only could reveal. J.

“I do not think my trip to Louisville,
Ky. worth publishing; yet there is one
thing 1 would like the biethren in Georgia
to know:—l saw brother Henry Jhtarns ,
the colored preacher, who went from this
State; he is the Pastor of the African
Church in Louisville, consisting of about
700 members. The brethren speak high

there may he extracted, on an average, from
25 to 301bs. ot tallow from each. The
price of mutton had, up to the period ol
this discovery, been Irom Id. to I.!d, per
lb. and it is calculated that the tallow will,
at a moderate estimate, be worth 3.1d. per
pound. Great preparations were making

dhe 1 obucco d'rude. —The great seiz

name ol a first-rate house in that city is
mixed up with others, has drawn much at
tention to the above trade. It is quite evi
dent dial the services ol the government
officers to prevent smuggling at the pres
ent high rates ol duty are worth less than
nothing. Not a seizure is made by their
vigilance: every one is made on informa
tions eininatiiig from persons not taking
government money. The reason for this
is clear. The smuggler can well afford to
an unscrupulous officer a bribe, of almost
any amount, so long as the present high
duty of 3s 2d. is maintained.
