ter in the Watchman anti Observer, giving l
ait account of a recent visit to New Orlectis, !
thus notices the church ovet which Dr.j
Scott (Presbyterian) presides.
“ The members of Dr. Scott’s church ;

The principal or parent Sunday St ltool

ly Concert of Prayer for Sunday Schools,
when teachers from all their schools were
assembled. —And it was a most thrilling
meeting, to hear the reports of the Teat It
er* in the various field*—their plans sot
gathering pupils—their encouragements
and obstacles.
Through the operations of Sunday schools
they have built tip two small Chapels for
worship, and have three places of worship
opened, and two Missionaries supported by
the Mother church. The same church al
so gives the principal suppoil to a Seama'i’s

through his w iie or children, or who in

them, the more Important is it that we
should make them known, even tVough we

WtTßflWs* Baptist.—The Adhesion Question.
We rereived, fmf late to be r.'rthied ia
our last paper, a specinien"nunibcn of the
proposed weekly issue of this periodical.*
It is printed oil a sheet somewhat smaller
than the Index, ami contains four columns
less of matter, at Hi per annum. W’c hail
it as an auxiliary and nut as a rival, and
would cheerfully transmit the names of any
in our region who inay wish to subscribe
for it. It is well printed and no doubt
will be well anti ably edited. We take
occasion, however, to say to our brother,
that, in the ..umber before us, he has de
parted from the good golden rule of doing
toothers as he would have others plo to
him. lie has copied from the “the Baptist,”
garbled extracts from one of our editorials,
with the censorious continents of Ur. How
ell thereof The impression w hich these
extracts anil comments must leave on the ‘
mind optaeTender, is veiy different from \
that w hich our at tide, as a whole, was j
calculated to make. [Would our brother
like to be served in the same way In !
this he has done us great injustice, but as !
we ate satisfied it was not done with malice |
prepense, we w ill drop the matter, only ob
serving, that die absence of evil intention
does not lessen the injury.
One more rcrmuji of a general character
we beg leave to make —and we make it
\vidi the bent of recUg' ,< for the editor.—

we know not who they are. We have!
said as much—perhaps a little more on this ‘
subject titan any one else. Brother Haynes
was a member ol the Convention in Augus
ta. We presume he heard the resolutions
which we offered to that body—we appeal
to him to say, whether there was any thing
in those r solutions which indicated the
least disposition to censure any one. One
thing is certain—the representative of the
A, B. P. is. then and there present, assured
us, that he hud no objection tv than —that
he was in favor of hem. 1 Who then are
they who wish to fix a censure upon the
Societies in Philadelphia and N. York ?
Will brother Haynes, or the editor of the
Herald inform us ! We consider the iuu
endo of the Herald a mere fr/cA, introduced
;to produce an effect unfavorable to the
| friends of an amicable separation.. It is iu
; perfect accordance with another, which has
been resorted to by the General Agent of
! the A B P Sand ollieis, in private, and
which we may, at some future time,
, expose.
We coufess this umlei-hand mode of
assault excites our indignation. ‘Things!
are insinuated by brethren to the preju-’
dice ul the advocates of separation, which
they dare not rrffinn, as that would afford j
us the right to demand—whut they could;
not produee—the proof. If under sm.hj
circumstances we use language that may j
appi ar to some liaisli, surely we ought to!
be excuse and. The venerable Dr. Brandy j
used language as strong as any we have |
ever used, when occasions seemed to re- [
ijitire it. In one o! his editorials, in 1820,.
w r.ting of the editor ol auiitli r paper, lie 1
says,—“One of his correspondents is per- j
milled to utter in the last number the fob {
lowing effusion, winch can only he eltarac- ,
terizi-d as a cuiApouud of impudence and •
falsehood.” Again—“such is the insuffer- j
able egotism of lliis saintly reslcncr of the ;
aueiuni gospel.” Alas lor us!—what was
: manly independence, candor, editorial;
lea lessuess, and eisnin, energy, &r. &.<•., iu j
Dr. Brandy , is in us rashness, imprudence, 1
lahi loess, ultraism, Sir ! So true is it, that
” hat conducts one man to a throne may
lead yiiothcr to the guillotine ! com
pound of impudtncr and falsehood!” —
i “iu*utriiable egotism —‘•saintly restor
er !” Alt! if we use such expressions we
peril food and lame—every thing. Straight
way the whole p:lck of editors are out up
’on us, iu foil cry, ami our only chance of
escape is to In take onrsell to the “good
| olive tree.”
D£T A NOTH Kit IMPORTANT
FACT. J6SZ
The Publication Society, when it went
by the unassuming name ol the Am. Bap.
Tract Society, virtually admitted, that the
; object it was designed to promote could
belief be elleeted by the organization of j
General Southern Hoard, than hy the or
ganization of auxiliary Societies in the
South; heme the Boaid in Philadelphia
recommended to an auxiliaiy Society in
j (Jinn lesion, lo te-oigniiizc as a South’
I ern Hoard, ami further recommended that
die Societies formed in the South should
I he auxiliary to this Southern Hoard, and
; not to the Society in Philadelphia I All ’
those were the peaceful days of Noah Da
i vis ! —days when benevolence reigned su-
Ipremcanti ambition and selfishness crouch
ied at her feel ! Thu Society dreamed no:
I then of monopolizing the book trade of the
[ country ; she aspired not to subject the dt
j nomination to a state of vassalage. But
! times have changed, and the men who cott
j trolled the destinies of the denomination
j then have ben taken from us, perhaps be
cause we were not worthy of them. (See
: Ur. Alauly’s sermon in the Col. Star and
! Chr. Index fur Aug. ‘42, 1829.)
Mem. Not a note of dissent to the pro
position for a Southern Board was then
J heard in the South. Why?—Simple, we
suppose, because the proposition origina
ted at the. North. Is it not the prerogative
of the North to command and the (July of

a copy of the Cons ittilion, Rules of deco

appears in these first minutes, the objects
of the association are confined to the main
tenance of religious cot rcspnudencc and
gospel order among the churclu-s compos
ing the hotly, and the cultivation of reli
gious acquaintance and affection within
their bounds. As yet, nothing aggressive
is proposed—nothing looking dirt illy to
plans and efforts for the conversion of the
unconverted—t e cxteniion of the Rcdceni
u’s kingdom. Wc ardently hope, that this,
and all newlv formed bodies umonersl its,
may incorporate this feature in their sys
tems, or engraft it upon them at an early !
period. ‘The business of the churches, is
divided piopetly into two great branches :
—first the maintenance of sound doctrine,
personal holiness, mid upright living with
in themsi lv. s ;—and secondly, direct ami
energetic efforts in every shape feasible in
itself and warranted by scripture, for the j
advancement of the cause of Christ. II.K. j

co—that the piesence of our army of oc
cupancy, was a constant cause of offence—
and that peace between the two countries
is impossible, unless the United States, re
linquish all claim to Texas. The fonn of
Mr. Slidell’s commission secins to have
been only pretence. A serious rupture,
however, with Mexico, is not to he appre
hended. True, the Spaniards are exasper
ated ; and our army and theirs are beating
drums at each other, on the opposite sides
of the Rio Grand del Norte. Ifut they
will not attack us ; and wo trust for the
honor of our country, we shall not attack
them. A revolution in Mexico is daily ex
pected ; and wliethei followed by the gov
ernment of a king, or what is more proba

The following extinct from a letter of
Ur. of Connecticut, to the Hart
ford Courant, describing a debate in the
-French. Chamber of Deputies, illustrates
the greatness of our country, viewed from
the other side of the Atlantic. Moral. —
Let every citizen exhibit a civil and moral I
worth suitable to the elevated station in
which God has placed us, [l. K.
The'.debate was opened by M. Guizot, i
A few (lays alter, M, Thiers took occasion ■
to assail the doctrine touching our country !
avowethby Mr. G. This speech was te
ceivcd both in and out ol the Chamber with
great enthusiasm. The next day M. Gui
zot replied. By the politeness of our Con
sul, MiC Walsh, 1 was chJe to be present,
though The eagerness ol the public to hear
the debate was so great as to make it ex
tremely difficult to obtain a ticket. Every
niche in the galleries was occupied. And
the altitude and manner of the assemblage
were sue!: as to indicate the profoundest
feeling of interest. Dialogue and gesture
ami silence, looks of Ihouglitluluess arid!
looks of passion—all indicated that the;
mind of ihe great auditory was powerfully ■
wrought upon. And the subject was my ,
country I—my country as a great nation,!
lit to be viewed, il'not ith enmity, yet with i
jealous caution! The debate, though I
scantily reported, will speak for itself. 1!
know not when I have been more power j
fully moved than while l sal there, a stran- ’
ger among strangers, watching the move-j
incuts of the sceuce. 1 seemed, ior the
first time, to have discovered my country. J
I had measured her territory computed, a
hundred limes, the growth of h- r population, !
foretold her limes, imagined the great circle;
of her dominion, at no distant period, filled’
with swanning millions of people—but 1
needed to be here, iu the capital of France,
the diplomatic capital of Europe, to witness
a great nation, second in aits and arms to
no other, debating, with profound serious
ness, lire question whether it is not w ise to
raise up tome balance of power against the
United States—to iiear it maintained that
Russia, England and the United States, ait
the three great formidable powers that re
quire to be w itched with cautious jealousy
—this only cound make me tiuly liel what
is the reul import of my country. This
! debate is remarkable, 100, as being the first
1 instance, in which the great pow ers of Eu
rope have avowed the necessity of extend
ing their diplomatic circle of balances so as
to include us. Hitherto they have held,
lor llie most part, Ihe gracious attitude ex
ternally ol well-w ishers, regarding us as a
kind ol experimental nation beyond the sea,
which il was at least safe to leave unmoles
ted. But the ejpeciinirit, it seems, is near
ly over—we are alieudy formidable! It
might surely he pardoned to an American,
in such a seeue, and at such a moment, if
he allowed anew sentiment of pride fori.is
country to wake m his bosom. Neither
would itbe wholly malicious in him to en
joy the jealousy ol such a nation as France;
or to feel, in such a debate as this which
now agitates the French capital, that he is
witnessing the entrance of Iris nation into
place among the leading powers of the
| world.
At the same lime, graver thoughts will!
crowd upon him. lie sees, at once, that it!
is the p. naliy of increase to his country,!
that all its relations lo die world must be |
changed. It can no longer be indulged in
llut repose, which obscurity yields. It
must stand out, .u the public attitude of a
great nation, lo be the object of fear and
hatred, lo maintain its conflict with the arts
and intrigues of political combination, and
| mix itself in with the great Hood of human
histoty. It may still maintain its neutrality,
hut it cannot he what it must, without being
dreaded; and it cannot be the object of
daead without having it conflict to sustain
on every side. ‘The ocean too is narrowed I
to a third of its former width, by the inven-!
lions of modern commerce, so that while i
it rises in power, it is drawing itsell uj>:
also into a more close and omnibus prox- j
imity to the great nation ol the world.—
Wlj.it will be the ulfect ol this new’ position
assumed by M. Guizot, it is and fficult to lore
tell; one thing is sure, that however much |
we may protest against it, w e cannot he j
the nation that we must be, without incut-’
ling all that lie proposes. Nothing will I
i save us lroin it, hut to transfer the U. S. to i
1 some oth r planet. From this moment on
! ward our position is changed.
There is, too, another and deeper reu- 1
son lor the rising jealousy that is now marti-,
j lusted—that I mean which is stated with
|so much gravity hy AJ. ’Theirs, when he
i savs that France can no way hope to obtain j
I her freedom oj action, except hy the growth |
■and political expansion ol the U. S. lie,
■ speaks like ono w ho knows the working ol j
| European diploma'y—knows that France j
j is restrained in the working of its free prin-i
ciplu, hy u combination of governments all
engaged lo prevent the development of in
stitutions that may he uncomfortable or
dangerous to the neighborhood of monarchy.
|M. T. is not u republican in name. He
i docs not speak as one of the republican par
ity, but tie sees, with the comprehensive
! eye of a statesman, that there is, i.t France,
whui sympatizes w ith the U. S., and that
I when the United Stales have become that
vast and mighty nation which they are des
tined to become, filling the sea with their
1 power, and easting their shadow across the
‘nations of the world, then there will be a
: balance of power cast on the side of France.
| Site will have It. r freedom of action.—
j Nothing could be more true, and no truth
: could have a vaster import. Wo have only
to imagine the United Stales becoming a
nation of a hundred millions of people, fill
ing the world with her commerce, advanc
-1 ed in arts and intelligence and social happi
i ness, and presenting her formidable front to
tlm combined hostility of the world, to see
that all the restraints which now encompass
France arc dissolved. ‘There is anew bal
ance of moral power as well as physical,
and France will he assuredly free to do her,
will, however much it may annoy the
neighborhood of monarchy. I mistake,
too, if the French government, in the new
possitinn that is avowed, is not actuated bv
a sense of the fact, for the stability of the
present dynasty in France, is more endan
gered by the republican feeling of the na j
lion, than by any other cause- To call out !
and embody a feeling in favor of the pres
ent mode of government and against repub
licanism, is, in fact,'one of tfte problems of
the times.
