Bishop Meade on the Spiritual Relations
of Negro Slaves.
It will lie remembered that a few weeks
ago Bishop Meade, of Virginia, was at
tacked in the columns of the Richmond
Enquirer, for what it chose to consider
“ a too encouraging strain of remark”
employed by him in administering the
rite; of confirmation to some slaves. The
sermon having given rise to considerable
discussion, the Bishop has prepared a copy
of his remarks for publication. Wc find
them in the Richmond Enquirer. It was
for the views there expressed that it was
proposed, through the columns of the En
quirer, to drive the venerable Bishop from
the State. He writes :
“In my address at Lawrencoville, I
adverted to the fact that a number of ser
vants were about to be confirmed, eleven
out of the twelve; that something suit
able to them was proper from me; that
God, who, of one blood, made all nations
upon earth, had given us a religion suita
ble to all, and that the Bible had many
things addressed to all, rich and poor,
bond and free ; that the larger portions
of the human race had always been in
some form of bondage to the other, being
poor and dependent; that God in his
providence had permitted a large number
to come to this country from Africa, tend
ing to make it a blessing to them, their
posterity, and Africa itself, by bringing
them to the light of the G ospel, and send
ing it back to that country; that there
were some persons who, by denying the
unity of the human race and ascribing dif
ferent nations to different origins, and not
to the one first pair mentioned in the Bi
ble, made an invidious assault upon our
holy religion, for, in maintaining differ
erent origins, and great original differ
ence, a way was prepared for denying that
Christianity was suitable to all, unless
modified and accommodated to the varia
tions in the human family, whereas one
great argument from the divinity of our
religion is that it is suitable to all, was
received and understood alike by all, rich
and poor, bond and free, learned and un
learned.
“ I exhorted the servants to rejoice that
they had been born in this Christian land,
and not in a heathen land —to seek that
liberty of soul from sin which Christ alone
can give, and which was infinitely better
than any other liberty—to obey all those
instructions which God had given to ser
vants in his word —to be humble, faithful,
honest, obedient to their masters, not eye
servants, but doing their duty as in the
sight of God. The whole address was
based on the supposition that their lot
was assigned them by Providence ; and
that they should rejoice in the many spir
itual blessings connected with it. Just in
proportion as they rejoiced and obeyed by
admonition, will they be happy, contented
and faithful servants to their earthly and
heavenly masters.
“The above was written on hearing
that something had appeared in a Peters
burg paper on the subject, but not know
ing the precise character of the article.
Having now seen it, I add the following
remarks: “ 1 have for forty-six years been
addressing our slaves in the absence of
their owners. Forty years I have been
publicly laying my hand on them in con
firmation, and as publicly addressing spe
cial exhortations to them. During all the
period of my ministry, I have never heard
it intimated that a word was uttered by
me which was found fault with by any.
More than twenty-four years ago 1 opened
one of our largest Conventions which met
in the Monumental Church in Richmond,
with a sermon on the religious instruc
tion of servants. It was unanimously
approved of, and a copy requested for
general circulation. Several editions have
been issued.
“ I have never varied front the senti
ment contained in that sermon. I have,
on several occasions, of bite years, advert
ed to the fact that there were two classes
of persons who were making assaults up
on the Bible, in connection with the sub
ject, the one consisting of those, who,
unable to resist the argument in favor of
the lawfulness of slavery from the Bible,
had gone to the extreme of denying the
divine authority of the Bible; the other,
consisting of those who, not satisfied with
the sanction afforded to this institution
by the Bible, sought to strengthen it by
affirming that different races, and espe
cially the. African, came from different
origins, and that the latter were very di
verse from, and inferior to the others.
Os course, the same religion might not
be equally suitable to all.
“Against all such assaults upon our
holy religion, 1 trust the ministers ol‘ the
gospel will ever he ready to defend it.
On the occasion spoken of, 1 briefly al
luded to those assaults on our holy reli
gion, and referring to the many notices
of servants ill the Bible, and especially
to what St. Paul had addressed to them,
and his injunction to Timothy as to ex
hortation to them, and that 1 never felt
myself more as the minister of Christ
and follower of the Apostle than when
laying my hands on the heads of this por
tion of our fellow-beings, i have ever
rejoiced to say to those who upbraid us
with being indifferent to the souls of our
COLUMBUS, GA„ SEPTEMBER -2(>, 1856.
servants, that our ministers generally
seem to delight in preaching to them to
do so.
“On thta occasion, I said, that from
the earliest period the more pious of our
forefathers, who declared that they came
to America chiefly to bring the Christian
religion to the nations, also regarded the
African as sent here, not merely to fell
the forests and cultivate the fields, though
this was part of the design of Providence,
but chiefly for the far more glorious pur
pose of hearing the gospel <>l’ salvation.
1 felt that while speaking, i was defending
Southern Christians against charges of
neglect from distant quarters, though l,
by no means, affirm that they do half of
their duty toward them.
“ If I was not understood, I can only
ascribe it to a most sensitive and morbid
state of some minds on the subject.
W. Meade.”
A Capacious Carpet Hag.
Meanness occasionally’ meets with a
shock that is a lesson to all concerned,
especially to the victim. On the Cleve
land ears, a short time since, coming to
Buffalo, was a stalwart man, going to New
York to buy goods.
He was not what might be called
a stingy or close man, but lie was one
who, when there was a cent due him that
swindling might deprive him of, would
sacrifice a fifty dollar bill to save the cop
per. Our friend had started from Cleve
land without any breakfast, and when
Erie “hove” in sight, he gathered him
self up for a general skirmish for any and
all kinds of provisions. He had a car
pet-bag witli him, and going into the din
ing-room at Erie, deposited his carpet-bag
on the chair, while he took another by its
side. He was lost for about ten minutes,
perfectly oblivious to anything, save that
he had a blessed consciousness of some
thing rapidly and agreeably filling up his
“ inwards.” About this time the land
lord came round, and stopping by our
friend’s chair, ejaculated—
“ Dollar, sir.”
“ A dollar,” responded the eating man
—“ a dollar—thought you only charged
fifty cents a meal for one—eh !”
“ That’s true,” said meanness, “ but I
count your carpet-bag one, since it occu
pies a scat.”
(The table was far from being crowded.)
Our friend expostulated, but the land
lord insisted, and the dollar was reluc
tantly brought forth. The landlord pass
ed on. Our friend deliberately arose, and
opening his carpet-bag, full to its wide
mouth, discoursed to it, saying :
“ Carpet-bag, it seems you’re an indi
vidual—a human individual, since you eat
—at least I’ve paid for you, and now you
must eat,” —upon which he seized every
thing eatable within his reach, nuts, rai
sins, apples, cakes and pies, and amid the
roars of the bystanders, the delight of
his brother passengers, and the discomfit
ure of the landlord, phlegmatically went
and took his seat in the cars. There was
at least $8 worth in the bag —upon which
the landlord realized nothing in the way
of profit. So much for meanness. — Buf

The Vast ness of London.
We Americans (says the Philadelphia
Ledger,) are so accustomed to expatiat
ing on the rapid growth of our cities, that
most of us are surprised to hear that the
capitals of Europe increase nearly as fast.
The growth of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin,
on the continent, and of London, Liver
pool, Glasgow and Manchester, in Eng
land, have been especially rapid. But no
city in the world has thriven like the
great British metropolis. In 1801, for
example, the population of London was
1*58,868 ; now it is two millions and a
half; in other words, at the beginning of
the century, it was hardly more than a
third as large as it is at present. We
think Philadelphia, with its half a mil
lion of inhabitants, a large town; but
Loudon is five times as large. In lact,
the latter city contains nearly as many
inhabitants as the State of Pennsylvania,
and more than all the great cities of the
I nited States together. Nor does there
seem, at present, any likelihood of this
enormous metropolis decreasing in size.
On the contrary, there is every indication
of its continued growth. The sewerage
commissioners, in view of its probable ne
cessities in the future, are already pro
jecting a drainage for six millions of in
habitants, a population which London
will yet contain, if the increase goes on
for half a century, at the present ratio.
“ I sees, Missus .lousing, dat you’,- got

THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE EDINGBUP.GII REVIEW (Whig).

THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
fIMIE great ami important events—Religious, Political,
JL and .Military—now agitating the nations of the Ola
World, give to these Publications an iutereet and value
they never before possessed. They eceupy a middle
ground between the hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and Hying minors of tho newspaper, and
the ponderous Tome of tho historian, written long alter
the living interest in tho facta he records shall have
passed away. Tho progress of tlie War in the East occu
pies a large space in Iheir pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether ot friend or of 100, and all
short comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Crimea and from the Baltic In lllackwood'sMagazine,
from two of its most papular contributors, give a more
intelligible and reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great politi ■
cal parties of Great Britain—\\ big, Tory, and Radical, —
but politics forms only one feature of their character.—
As organs of the most profound w riters on teience, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they over
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar and the professional
man. while to the intelligent reader ol every class they
furnish a more correct and satisfactory record ol the cur
rent literature of the day, throughout the world, than
can be possibly obtained from any other source.
