time to investigate such cases than most of
their brethren.
Inference. —lf the opinion of brethren is
desired, in any case, the better way would
be, to address private letters to aged and ex
perienced brethren, state your difficulties
clearly, but concisely; frame your query
with a point that cannot escape being seen;
and solicit an answer respectfully, but take
care to pay your postage. To refer all
cases of church discipline to an editor,
seems to us to savour too much of prelacy.
For our part, we have no desire to wear ei
ther a cardinal's cap or a papal clown. —
We already hold one office too much, be
ing editor of the Index and bishop of Be
thesda. We had rather give up our editor
ship or bishopric, or indeed both, than as
sume any new office.
The Good Caute. —Bro. S. B, Church
ill writes that in the region through which
he has been travelling opposition to the
m.ssiotury cause appeared to be giving a
wav considerably and that the religious
prospects were Haltering. There is a large
amount of missionary labor performed vol
untarily by our ministering brethren in this
state. We have tereived two communica
tions lately from brother James Davis, in a
postscript to one of which he stated lie had
preached GO times in 35 days. Pretty hard
labor that.
The Triennial Convention ami the Abolitionists.
Brother Sands, editor of the Religious
Herald, publishes and comments oil the ab
olition circular which we published three
weeks since. We most cordially endorse
the following which is the concluding por
tion of his comments.
It is now apparent that these busy inter
meddler* will excite discord, if possible.—
It becomes, therefore, a matter of duty, that
the South and West should be lully repre
sented, that the hands of our friendly bre
thren in the Northern and Middle states
may be upheld, an I this restless parly be
at once put down. But we trust th it our
delegates will not permit themselves to go
with any excited feeling. Let all action on
this matter come from the opposite party.
Perhaps seeing their weakness they may
not bring forward any proposition, hut if
they do, let it he met with calmness and de
cision.
It is time that this continued agitation
should cease. If our co-operation and sup
port be esteemed desirable, we will cheer
tally aid in the good cause, but only as
fiiends and brethren with equal rights, and
in full fellowship. Let the matter he set
tled decisively. Let it he dearly under
stood, that the principles on which the So
ciety was first formed, must be the basis of
future union. That the introduction <>f new
tests, or the institution ot new principles
—must be discountenanced at once and for
ever.
It tv. Messrs. Huckins and Tryon. —
Abel Blown, of Albany, N. V'., says that
his stateilieiitAlijit Messrs. 11. and T. were
slaveholders, wys founded on the testimony
•if Dea. Andrew’s and his wife, late mem
li rs of Mr. ll.’s church in Texas, and now
of Boston, and lie requests Rev. C. W.
I). -unison to obtain and publish their testi
mony.—Zion's Advocate.
Mr. Try on, we believe, was a slavehold
er at the lime of his appointment, hut what
of that, brother Advocate ? Are you lull
ing to employ in the cause of Christ the
money of slaveholders, but not d\eir pray
ers and exhortations? Will you teceive
the fruits of slave labor, but not the fruits of
the Holy Spirit? Are you unwilling to
hand over to a slaveholding brother money
that we place in your hand for his benefit?
Why then do you receive the money ? Es
tablish the principle, that no slaveholder
shall he employed by the Home Mission
Society and you drive from it a large por
tion of your brethren, whose services the
Lord has thought proper to accept and bless,
and the sin of rending the denomination
asunder must lie at your door, and at the
door of those who unite with you in the
advocacy of snch a principle. Forbear,
treother. and ask God upon your knees,
shall I thrust out of thy vineyard those
wltorit thou hast called ami received into it.
The Psalmist.
W have some objection to the manner
in which this selection of psalms and hymns
was gotten up. We do not acknowledge
the correctness of some of the principles of
criticism adopted by its editors. We think
they are antiscriptural. Neither do tve ap
prove of the liberty taken in altering, not
only the language, hut the sentiments of
many of the by inns; still we doubt not this
selection has many excellences. At the
North, and in cities elsewhere, it lias been
adopted by many churches. We learn that
it has been adopted by the Baptist church
iu Augusta, and that 1000 copies have al
ready been fotwarded to Charleston. We
arc willing to afford any facilities in our
power to aid those who may wish to obtain
them, and therefore announce that they
may he obtained from Messrs. McCarter
& Allen, and Messrs. Burgess & James of
Charleston, S. C. The price varies from
82 cts. to 83, according to the size and bind
ing. We hope no Baptist will mistake the
•* Psalmist” published by the Presbyterians
for that published by Gould, Kendall ami
Lincoln, of Boston. Such a mistake might
lead to ludicrous consequences. The Pres
byterian Psalmist is far more defective than
the Baptist Psalmist. Some of its hymns
base little more of pot try in itthan the mul
tiplication table.

Aavy Chaplaincies. —“We are pleased
to remark that since our first notice of the
niommoly hv the Episcopal denomination
of our navy chaplaincies, several of our co
temporaries have taken up the subject in
good earnest.”— Presbyterian.
The above remark is calculated to make
the impression, that the editor of the Pres
byterian was the first to call the attention
of the public to the subject of this monopo
ly, and that other editors, who have advert
ed to the subject; have oply followed in his
wake. We should like to know whether
it was the design of the editor to produce
this impi ssion. If such was his design,
we would be willing to pay him for a copy
of Ins paper containing his first reference to
this subject. Tne first article that we re
member bavin? seen on the subject, in the
columns of the Presbyterian, wasduly cred
ited to the Paptist Advocate, of N. York,
and appeared not a year ago. We have be
fore us, while writing, another Paptist
publication, published iu May, 1811, in
which the editor, alluding to the Episcopal
church, its tendency to Romanism, and its
disposition to grasp the sword of civil pow
er, uses the following language •
In England, they hold the rpins of gov
ernment in their own hands, and hold it
with nil iron grasp. In this country, too,
they have secured, unobserved, the leading
politicians ot every line and of every politi
cal party. Officers in the army and in the
! navy ,J'or years past , have been mostly fill
ed with their partiz.itis. Our squadrons
ami our navy stations are generally placed
under the tutorage of their clergy. Rome
is already exulting at the prospect of their
retain, and is sending out her myrmidons
to Hank and help them on their march.—
I lo se allies, to secure them from the pos
sibility of any effectual resistance, are se
eding and fortifying the strongest posts
both in the old and new country—as fin in
stance, in our country. New York, Cincin
nati, Detroit, St. Louis, New Orleans, Mo
bile, Charleston, &e. They are thus form
ing a cordon around us, to b • used at their
pleasure iu a future day. We catiuoi but
think, that the crusade, which many ofmttr
Poedoliaplist Inetlireu are carrying on a
gaiust “ Paptist Theology,” and the agi
tation of the abolition question, are wi ll
calculated to facilitate the progress of these
pilgrims bound for Rome.
Verily, these ate portentous times in
which we live. Coming events, it is very
properly said, nlteu east their shadows be
fore them. \\ e ate neither a prophet, nor
the son of a prophet, hut with the Scriptures
in our hand, it requires not the ken of a
prophet to predict that ere this country shall
pass away, the roar ol the •• Beast” of the
apocalypse will lie heard through the whole
length and breadth of our laud, and cause
our Government to totter to its very base.
Many of our good citizens are asleep.-
They heard not the gathering storm ; hut
onward the blackening column rolls, driv
en by the furious winds of sensual passions,
XVp tienihle for the sleeper. If lie awake
not before, fie will he aroused from his
slumbers hv the bursting ofthe storm upon
his devoted head, and the falling of an em
pire around him. Go, Christian, and sleep
upon the beetling cliff, when the whirlwind
is abroad upon the eaith, shaking the mas
sy mountains in its rage; but sleep not
now at this critical juncture, when life and
death are struggling in the womb of nature,
and heaven and hell ate marshaling their
lori es for the coining combat.
The aiticle, from which the above is ex
tracted, was deemed of sufficient impor
tance, by an Episcopal minister, to merit a
public notice. It was therefore read, rath
er excitingly, ex cathedra, and made the
basis of an evening lecture, in a town con
taining some six or seven thousand inhabit
ants. ‘The lecturer sought, we were in
formed, to exalt his church and to depreci
ate all others—or, rather, to deny the exis
tence of any other church, and the right of
any but Episcopal and Roman priests to of
ficiate as ministers of the gospel. The in
ference. which we drew from the report of
the lecture was, that in the opinion of the
lecturer, none but ministeis Episropally or
dained, (that is to sav, Episcopal or Roman
priests,) were entitled to chaplaincies in the
army or navy.
Now, brother Presbyterian, let us hear
from you relative to the design of your re
mark which is placed at the head of this ar
ticle. You have merits enough of your
own without assuming what is not your
due. Are you rich ? Rub not the poor.
The following letter, the writer tells ns,
was not designed for publication ; but as it
shews the views which a worthy minister
ing brother entertains of the importance of
religious papers, and the effects which re
sult to ministers from the neglect of their
churches, we thought its publication might
do good. God grant that it may.
Franklin, Holmes co., Mi., ?
March 1, 1841. J
Dear bro. linker —lt is with pleasure I
have had the privilege of reading the Index
for some months, and would not he depriv
ed of this privilege lor double the smn it
costs me. Why so many Baptists will live
without taking some religious paper of their
own denomination, it would not become
me, at this time, to give all of the reasons.
Perhaps one is. that the ministers are too
negligent in laying the importance of such
a course before the Brethren and insisting
on them to take a religious paper. I find, in
my travels through this vale of tears, that
the larger portion of the Methodists take
someone or tufln papers of their own de
nomination, and upon inquiry, 1 find their
preachers inrist on their so doing ; and, T
think, if Baptist Ministers would lake the
same interest in the cause of Christ, (for I
believe the Baptist cause to he the cause of
Christ) your subscription would he much
enlarged—l am a poor man, as to the tilings
of this world, yet it is a rich boon to my
heart, after having worked hard all day, to
set down at night and read the Index. 1
have been try ing to preach nearly 3 years,
and supplied one chttri It about 20 miles off
for 18 months. Baptised 23 persons, and
received several by letter. When 1 left to
move down in this part of the State, I re
ceived from the church, for my services,
the sum of seven dollars, although the bre
thren, when 1 took charge of the church,
promised to pay me well, for they .knew 1
was a poor man. In this way I was dis
appointed, for I had made my arrangements
in such a way. as I expected they would
enable me to meet. But I was deceived
the brethren, several of them being in good
circumstances. Probably you ran imagine
my feelings better than 1 can write. 1 went
home dejected ; but on my wav home, in
reflecting. I concluded, surely I have not
been called to preach—ls 1 had been, the
Lord would have prospered tne more, and
opened the hearts of these brethren to mv
wants, and to comply with their pledges.
In the midst of these reflections, I got down
off my horse, and tried to address a throne
of grace. Before I got off my knees I
found the Lord svas with me, and blessed
my soul. I felt a spirit to forgive and trust
in God. Since I moved here 1 have been
called to the care of a small church, and
have procured! names, which you will find
below, as subscribers to your valuable (ta
per, and I trust, through the help of God, I
will be able to obtain others. I want all the
members of the chinch, or churches, to
which I preach, to heenme subscribers and
pay for the Index, that they may grow in
the knowledge of the truth : for I believe
if every Baptist in the South would take
the Index them would be more missiona
ries, and fewet Antics and Arrniniutis iu
our churches and pulpits.
The Monthly Paptist Record The
second number of this new periodical has
been on hand some two weeks. It is the
first number that we have had the pleasure
of seeing. We mean just what we say;
for it is indeed a pleasure to us to see a
publication issued by our Publication Socie
ty, so neatly executed and so well filled
with matter alike interesting and instruc
tive. We somewhat regret that the Socie
ty failed iu their negotiations with the pro
prietor of the B iptist Memorial to unite the
two publications, but probably their failure
will be overruled for good. The Record
appears to be more miscellaneous than the
Memorial, and will therefore be likelv tube
also more popular. The one appears to be
adapted to the denomination as it is; the
Other to the denomination as it should be.
So great is the diversity of eharaetei that
exists in our denomination, that a periodi
cal, to be useful to all, must admit of con
siderable diversity in its contents. We
hope the editors will not crowd their col
umns with biographies of obscure individ
uals; that is, of those w hose acts, while liv
ing, failed to make them known beyond
the little sphere of their personal acquain
tance-
Paptist Preacher. —The number for
March contains a Sermon oil Christian ll
nion by Rev. Robert Fleming of Newnan
G.i, a note by the editor and an extract from
Hague’s Christian Union; An'the same sub
ject. The sermon was the introductory
discourse delivered at the opening of the
session of the Western Association in Sep
tember last, It was also delivered at the
meeting of the Georgia Association on the
second Lord’s day in October. The Bap
tist Preacher from the first of the year will
be sent to new subscribers. The follow
ing brethren have each paid 81,00 for the
volume commencing with the January num
ber. Rev. Jas. M. Watt, Rev. A. T
Holmes, Rev. W. P. Steed. Win Moncrief.
Dr. II ilson Jewell. —This brother, who
has so ably conducted the Philadelphia de
partment of the Baptist Advocate, we regret
to learn, has resigned his office as co-editor.
Many will cherish with delight ihe remem
brance of his labors and of his amiable qual
ities as an editor, lie has endeared him
self to many whom lie will neversee in the
flesh.
Seventh Duy Baptists. —The anniver
saries of this denomination were held in
September last. A copy of their Minutes
was received some four or six weeks since,
hut was overlooked amongst the mass of
papers with which our office is crowded.
We are pleased to ohsetve that they have
embarked with zeal in the missionary cause.
In the minutes of their General Conference,
there are reported 4 associat ons, 59 church
es, 46 ordained ministers, 23 licensed, 121
deacons, 763 added during the year, 129
dismissed, 63 excluded, 59 dead, total, 6,-
077.
The IVestem Baptist. —The size of this
paper, which is puhlished in Buchanan,
Va.. by Rev. Wm. 11. (lughart, has been
diminished one half, and thereby, we think,
greatly improved, not in appearance only,
but in reality. It contains as much inter
esting matter as ever and is much more con
venient than a larger sheet would be.
Uiwusssee Association. —The 20lh or
26tlt session, (wc cannot tell fron the indis
tinctness of the figures which.) “Convened
at Chickamauga Church by consent of

hard names!) Hamilton Cos. Tentv. pit Fri

of the Free Will order. We. arc glad to
perceive, however, that they do not sanc

in communing with Prcdobaptists, either in
the Lord’s supper or at Love-feasts.—
Churches that tolerate such communion,
and persist m it after being duly labored
with, they are of opinion should be report

There are in this association 24 churches.
Six of these were received at this session,

There are connected with the association
15 ordained ministers and 5 licensed. Two
of. the ordained nnflfsters are in Georgia
and. we presume, a portion ofthe churches;
but their location is not stated in the inin
rites. Five were baptized on the Lord’s
day after their meeting. We are truly
thankful for the copy of the minutes re

FURNISHED FOR PUBLICATION BY BROTHER
A. T. S,
Who would live always in this world of
change, and disappointment; where wave
after, wave, of afflictions, break over the
soul; where friends are snatched away, by
the rude hand of Death, and ere the sound
of E irth upon the coffin has died away, a
nollter, and yet another is taken, and we
are left to mourn? Few would be the num
ber that would wish to die, when every
thing around tends to render us happv;
when the ties that hind us here are yet un
broken: when the young heart is still glow
ing with the watm impulse of youth, un
tarnished, unchilled, by the lapse of time;
when our fond affections are radiant with
hope, and life is still biilliant, with the flow
er of existence.
Bui 0. why do ive ding to Earth, whet!
the warm blond that once danced through
our veins, imparting life and activity to ev
ciy'motion, lias become frozen; when our
care-worn and furrowed cheeks, that too
plainly mark the flight of time; when the
rude frost of otfr decline has stolen each
flower of beauiy, and our grey heads have
blossomed for the tomb? Why do we stil
(head the coming of death, ami say we are
not ready? True spring may eome'again,
to loose the earth from the icy chains in
which it has laid for months: the beautiful
flowers may spring up, when the Earth
has awakened final its deep sleep; the
green leaves may thrill to the music of the
birds; but like unto this is age. Death is
the only restorer, and who would not hail
it as the high boon from him, who created
all tilings? Who can ask to,
“Live always from his God ([bode.”
Away from yon Heaven that blessed a-
What if friends do smile upon us. what
if wafted along by the breeze of fortune;
what if happiness is showered, like the
genial rays of the sun, continually upon us;
yet there is something pleasant iu the
thought of dying; For,
“Death holds the bright and golden Key;
Which opens the door of endless life.
From, Earths dark prison sets us free,
The sun of passion, pain and strife.”
Although it may be hard to part from all
we love below, although it may lie painful
to see our friends weeping around the bed
of Death, and to hear the last farewell, ut
tered in accents of heart-rending grief, to
leel the kiss of affection from the cold lips
yet our sorrows are assuaged,
when we reflect that We part with them on
ly for a few days; that soon, very soon, the
silent tomb will become the resting place of
our bodies, while the spirit shall take up
its abode in Heaven, where the wicked
cease from troubling, and where the weary
are at rest. When the sun, that now rolls
in its resplomlant glory, shall have been
sunk to oblivion, and the starry plains of
Heaven, have been rolled away ns a scrawl,
still, O happy the thought.—
0 who would live ahvny, away from his
Ciotl;
Away from yon Ilenven, that blessed abode
Where the rivers of pleasure flow o’er the
bright plains
And the noontide of Glory eternally reigns,
Where the Saints of all ages, in harmony
meet
Their Saviour anil brethren, transported to
greet
While the anthems of rapture unceasingly
roll
And the smile of the Lord is the feast of
the soul.
Imprisonment for Debt. —The bill re
ported by Mr. Frick, in the Senate of Ma
ryland, for the abolishment of imprison
ment for debt, passed diatbodvon Monday
last.
The Circular of the Rehobotlt Associa
tion by brother Mallary was marked for in

from home was omitted. We hope it
will be read attentively and the correctness
of itsvietvs examined with a Beteatt spirit.

Poison fee. —A quantity nf ice from a
pond in Forty second street, near the
Chemical Factory, has been analyzed by
Di. Chilton, and found to contain poison.
The Institution for the deaf and dumb had
a supply of the ice lor summer use, but its
peculiar appearance fortunately suggested

the relationship at the time of marriage.
The House of Delegates of the Maryland
Legislature has passed a bill ptoviding lor

A Xew Cure for Consumption.— A sub
scriber, who has for a longtime been afflic
ted with consumption and its attendant evils,
informs us that as an experiment he mixed
one part of Chloiide of lodine with six
parts of water, and kept it in his bedroom,
in a partly covered dish, for a fortnight—
during which time his health has been so
sensibly imptoved that he attributes it to
the lodine, and desires us to gve publicity
to the fact.
According to a decision of the supreme
court of Missouri, a physician is not liable
to indictment fur manslaughter, wlieie death
results from his utiskilluliiess or ignorance,
provided his intent ions in administerin'’
medicine to the disc-eased were good. This
decision was made in the case of a Thom
sonian, who was charged wiih manslaugh
ter, where a patient died, apparently from
the use of bis remedies.
Later from the TVcst Indies. —The St..
George’s Grenada Chronicle contains a
communication from Mr. Stephenson sta
ting a fact worth recording, namely, that on
the occurrence of the earthquake in that Is
land on the 19lh January, those clocks of
which the pendulums oscillated from east
to west were almost all slopped, while
those whose pendulums vibrated from noitli
to south were not affected. The Domini
ca Colonists, states that the same shock
was felt in that Island and also that there
have been frequent recurrences of them,
lor example, one on the 30th and two on
the 31st January, and one on the 2d inst.
We observe also in the Sr Lucia Indepen

I have seen a young man fell a good

I have seen a farmer travel about so much,
that there was notliing at home worth look

The bell on the steeple of the First Bap
tist Church, which for sometime has been
observed to give out tones strangely differ
ent from its former, so clear and musical,
has been discovered to bo cracked. The
me!a! of this bell was imported from Eng
laud. The original imported hell was split
in ringing, and recast nt jhe old Hope Fur
nace. It weighed 2515 pounds, and bore
the following motto:
“For freedom of conscience the tc/wn was
first planted,
Persuasion, not force, was utfed try the peo
, . P k ’’
This church is thu eldest and has not re
canted;
Enjoying and granting, bell, temple* and

The present bell weighs 2337 pounds.—
It has upon it the following inscription.—
••This t'liurrh was founded A. D. 1639. the
first in the State, anti the oldest of the Ba]>-
tists in America.-
Every citizen will feel in this accident
which has happened to this bell, the loss of
an old acquaintance. For many years it
has roused us fiom our morning dreams,
invited the laborer to his dinner, and dis
