they are oot making prngreM. Still it a de
plorable, that in thin age of light and revi
val*, *n many teac hers of false and destruc
tive systems of religion should exist. T hey
are chiefly to be foutnl among our new and
unprotected churches; and such a state of
things, calls as well for the watchfulness of
those Churches, as the sympathies ot more
highly favoured Christians.
There is another truth which fidelity does
not permit us to conceal. In many parts ot
our country, an unusual degree of opposi
tion to the religious charities which adorn
the present age of the world, has been dis
played. The manifestation of this spirit,
should be considered as furnishing an evi
dence of the power and progress of reli
gious exertion. It was not until the fire of
God’s altar was cast into the earth, that
there were voices and thundering* and an
earthquake. Still such a state ot things
should be met by a growing spirit of prayer
and circumspection, on the part of the
friends of Zion. Calling into action the
gentleness and firmness, the humility and
perseverance of the Gospel, they shall not
fail of success.
, The events of the past year give strength
to the impression that the church is rapiulv
approaching an important crisis. There is
grief- in our hearts—but it is not the griet
of consternation. We mourn over our east
nod increasing desolations. We lament the
lukewarmne of many who profess to be
the followers of a self denying and zealous
Master. We deplore the false zeal of er
rorists, and the fruitless hostility of incon
siderate men to the institutions of religion.
We find cause for humiliation in the tact,
that revivals of religion have not baen as
extensive. a those which on some former
occasions it ha been our privilege to re
cord. Whatever gloom may seem to hang
over the church is intgoded for her admo
nition.
Every thing admonishes us, that what we
do must be done quickly. During the past
year, the names of M'Farquhar, Crawford.
Hunter, Blair, Coe, Ogden, Wilson, Weir,
Freeman, Hill, Bishop, Smith, Blatchtord,
have been added from among our number to
the list of the worthy dead. While we
cannct but feel the admonition, which their
memory awakens, the church tnourus then
removal as a pubhck calamity.’
Trials were needfuMo awaken her to a
just sense of bernloty. We are imperious
ly called to demonstrate our faith in Ihe
Saviour of men, by our devotedness to his
cruse and to his glory. Shall we zealously
rapport our Missionary, and Education, and
Theological Inslitniions, assured, as we are,
that they will eminently conduce to Ibe
pro*periiy and glory of the church; —or
shall wi suff.-r thprn to languish and decline!
Let ev’ r\ friend of Zion and of man mak>
his election. We rejoice tfiat the period
has arrived when this question must be an
swere I. In the confidence that many, ver\
many, are prepared to act a consistent an.:
faithful part; and cheerrd by the light
which the zeal of Chri-tians and the graces
of the Holy Spirit, cast through every in
terposiug cloud, we are prepared to an 1
notince, that there is nu cause for dpspon- i
deucy. Beyond all that is obscure and
cheerless, a vision of blessedness breaks up
on our v iew. Arise, shine , for thy light is
come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee, is (be voice of the King ot Zion to his j
church. And were the darkest ol her sea
eons yet before her, she should still advance
with a steady and increasing light until her
•glory struggles into everlasting day.

FROM THE FAMILY VISITER.
CHEROKEE NATION— Brainerd.
The Mission at this station-is to a pros
perous state. The School consists of 43
’ hoys and 28 girls. We have lately seen
some specimens of their improvement in
writing, which might serve as a copy for
many who write for the press. Their pro
■ ficiency in spelling may be learnt from this
■ fact. On a certain occasion, during the
month of January last, about two-thirds ol
I the scholars in belli schools were collected
for a spelling exercise. They first took a
long lesson of about 300 word* whiok had
been given them in a difficult part ol Web
ster’s Spelling Book; and afterwards spel
led about as many more, being nearly all
’ the longest words in that book —each spel
ling in his turn. But six words were missed
in the whole exercise, (we understand they
spelled without the book) and each of these
was spelled by the second person to whom
it was put. How few scholars in our schools
c'ould spell with the Cherokees!
Both the boys and girls labour during the
intervals of the Schools. Their industry,
as well as skilj, in this part of their duty,
will be strikingly exemplified by one or
two particular instances. They are taken
from the Journal of the Missionaries.
“Twenty-eight boys, in companies of four
each, had cut and split (mauled) their 21
cords of wood this week before the snow
fell.” “On each of four successive eve
nings, the girls quilted a bed quilt, with a
little aid front one or tvvo female members
of the mission.”
The Journal mentions the arrival of Cod.
Campbell, oo the 6th December, from
Tennessee, with a boat containing 610
bushels of corn, as donations to the mission
from individuals in the upper part of that
country; also of several boxes of clothing
from other places.
Application has bepn made to the mission
to establish a School at VVillstown. The
Chief ot that district, M’Cov, is very urgent
on the subject. He says the people will
come from the distance of 25 mile* to erect
the building*; and that there will be no
want of provisions, as thev have plenty of
pork and corn. “ A wagon road is now
opened front, the T’ tioe*-ee river through
tie vall-y to the S.>>i.'t western boundary
■t the nation, a distance of one hundred
miles. The contemplated *ite for the
denno! is about equally distant from each
end of it; so that a preacher settled there
Vill have an opening of 50 md-s each way
for his labours up and down the valley.
Crossing the mountain, 10 miles east is one
of the present preaching places of the Mi 9-)
sion family, and 27 miles is Turnip Moon
tain. Tbe south-western end of this road
is 35 miles from Creek path.” It seems
desirable, therefore, that the contemplated
station should be occupied and a school es
tablished.
Tbe following extract from the Journal
will show that the labours bestowed on this j
Mission have no< been in vain. f
“ It was yesterday five years, since those
of the Mission family who have been here
longest, came upon this consecrated ground.
In a retro-pect of those year*, while we see
much to lament aud be ashamed of, we are
constrained to exclaim, * what hath God
wrought! 1 In this lime there have been
added to the Church here (exclusive of
missionaries and assistants) 26 adults, with
Thomas Basel. We believe nearly the
same number have been added to the
Church of the United Brethren; and, at
Creek path. 10 adult* have hpen admitted.
Sixteen children of believers have been
baptized at Creek-path, and 49 at this place.
Near the frontier ot Tennessee and Geor
gia, number* of this people, within these
five years, have m ule a profession of faith
in Christ, and connected themselves with
other denominations. In our several con
gregations, we count some who are hope
fully pious, that have not yet made a puhlick
profession of religion. Although in com
parison to the miis ot the people, this is a
day of small things, yet, it is not to be des
pised. To God be all the praise.”
We give one extract more, for the pur
pose of showing what expedients the ene
mies of Missions frequently resort to, in or
der to arrest the progress of religion and
civilization.
“False tales, of almost every description,
are circulated among this people against
Missionary operations. The following is a
specimen. A traveller, who, in the lan
guage of the world would be called a gen
tleman, put up at the house of a Chief for
’ ‘he night. Finding that a Son of the Chief
1 could *peak English, he entered into con- ■
versalion with him, pretending to be a,
great friend of the Cherokees. Among
other things, he told the young man, that
the Missionaries were a dangerous people ;
that, with all their pretensions to friendship,!
1 they were endeavouring to ruin the nation,
that they might get the country; that is,
obtain the, land. Many people had long
known this, and, and now they had full
, proof of it. The missionaries bring in se
cret correspondence with Governour Clark,
of Georgia, in laying the plan for the Com
missioners to come and treat for their coun
; try ; that the safety of the nation required,
that the Missionaries should be driven out
of the country immediately. Ha observed,
further, that the Choctaws had got their
eyes opened, and were determined, *t all
hazards, to drive the. Missionaries out of
their limits. The young mao inquired if 1
all this was certainly true. Receiving for
answer that there was full proof of it, the
youth implied, that he was himself well ac
quainted with the Missionaries, and all their
1 operationsthat he had been to the North,
among the people whence the Missionaries
came-,—and that he had just been reading
a letter from a Choctaw Chief, entreating
for more Missionaries. Tbe traveller must
therefore we, that he knew the whole to
be false. It is perhaps unnecessary for us
to say, it is too late for such idle reports to
have their intended effect upon the Cber
okees.”
BIBLES.
A person writes from Pensacola, “We
have oo preaching, and only a few bibles
which I got from the agent for Louisiana,
and distributed last summer. There are
Americans here who have not seen a bible for
twenty, and some for thirty years! Do then
help U 9.”
A bible was given at St. Louis to a
Frenchman more than 70 years of age ; he
had never seen a bible before , and received it
with a flood of tears.

CAREY, 1 MAIISHA! AN, AND WARD.
We observe, that odr neighbours, of tbe
“ Intelligencer,” have taken occasion, on
the authority of an extract from a profligate
paper in Philadelphia, to renew an insinua
tion of worldly and selfish aim* on the part
of the Missionaries at Serampore.—We
cannot but regret, and we trust most of the
readers of the Intelligencer cherish the
same feelings, that its Editors have not
thought proper to adhere to the resolution
which they announced some time since, to
refrain from the discussion of topicks, which
do not Up within the range of their appro
priate duties, and on which they cannot be
supposed to bp so accurately informed, a9
to avoid incorrect judgments, and to discern
the true motives of those insidious and ma
lignant clamours, which they lend their aid
to propagMe. They cannot, we confident
ly aver, substantiate a solitary fact, which
will impeach in the slightest degree, tbe
purity of motive, which actuates the vener
able servants of God at Serampore. The
correspondence, wbich they hare publish
ed, they would perceive, if they were fa
miliar with the facts in the case, does not
give the slightest authority for the infer
ence which they havp drawn from it. The
circumstances which led to it occurred sev
eral years ago, and the steps then taken by
the Serampore missionaries has met with
the sanction of the parent Society in Eng

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
AMERICAN ( OfcONIZAVION bO
CIETY.
Os the special meeting of the Board of
Managers of the American Colonization So
ciety, held in the City Hall, Washington, on
Monday, Ihp second of June, a more partic
ular account ought to be giveD, and is now
attempted.
Several religious associations and the
Auxiliary Societies had been previously in
vited ‘o take part in the deliberations of the
Board in addition to the ordinary mem
bers of (be Board, there were present the
Honourable William H Crawford, one of
the Vice Presidents of the Society, Rev.
Luther Rice, and Rev. P Chase, from the
G oeral Convention of the Baptist Church ;
Mr. Leonard Bacon and Mr. Solomon Peck,
from Ihe Society of Inquiry concerning Mis
sions at the Theological Seminary, Ando
ver; Mr. Joseph Gales, Secretary of the
Raleigh Auxiliary Society, and Mr. Searle,
from the Society of Inquiry at the Theolo
gical Institution, Princetou. Mr. Crawford
presided.
Mr. Caldwell, the Secretary of the So
ciety, presented the resolutions of the Gen
eral Assembly of the Presbyterian Church,
adopted in con-equence of an address from
the Committee appointed to invite that As
sociationto send Delegates to this Meeting.
These resolutions have been already pub
lihed.
Mr. Bacon made an interesting statement
of the opinions of the Northern People in
relation to the Colonization Society, and
suggested to the Board several subjects for
consideration.
After ceniderable discussion, Mr. Gales,
Jr. offered a resolution to this effect: That
Committees be appointed to consider—lst,
The tatp of the Colony, and the means of
improving it; 2dly, The finances of the As
sociation and the means of increasing its in
come and regulating its expenditures; 3dly,
1 Whether any, and, if any, what alterations
i are necessary, in the immediate manage
ment of the affairs of the Society. The
Roard then adjourned to meet again on
Wednesday at io o’clock,
j The Board were gratified, on Wednes-
I day, not only with the attendance of Mr.
Crawford, but also with that of the Hon.
Charges F Mercer, and William H. Fitz
HUGH.'Esq. of Virginia, both Vice-Presidents
of the Society.
The Reports of the several committees
were then read, and, after some animated
debate, the following resolutions were
adopted:
1. Resolved , That additional agents be
appointed, to visit different parts of the
United States, to diffuse information, to col
lect funds, and to form auxiliary societies.
2 Resolved, That a periodical puhlica
-1 tion be established, under the direction of
the Board of Managers and their agent, for|
the purpose of diffusing correct iuforma-i
tion concerning the progress of Ihe Society j
and the situation of the Colony; provided:
that a subscription adequate to defray the
expense of said publication shall have been
previously obtained.
3. Resolved, That an address be prepar
ed for general circulation, to exhibit to the
publick the present situation and wants of
the Society.
4. Resolved , That it is expedient to send
to the Colony this season, three or more
vessels, to be fitted out from the Northern,
.Middle, and Southern sections of the United
States.
5 Resolved, unanimously, That the Board
duly appreciate the zeal and interest taken
in the affairs of this Society by the different
religious denominations who have sent del
egates to this meeting
Some other resolutions were offered by
Mr. Fitzhugh.
Their great importance induced the Board
to defiT a decision upon them, as well as up
on a part of the reports of their committees,
to a future meeting. .
The object of the Colonization Society is
evidently becoming popular. W£ venture
to predict that soon no Institution in the
country will receive a more liberal and ex
tensive support. Whenever its design is
understood, every good man must be its
friend.
ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
The following letter from Euglaud, pub
lished in the Gpel Advocate, corroborates
information which we have received from
other source*. • .
“ I much rejoice to trace the. dawn of a
more kindly feeling between our two coun
tries. In this country, more especially, a
more just estimate of America is every day
gaining ground, and there are many who
avail themselves of every opportunity to
fan those feelings of warmth and cordiality
which are now often visible in the best so
ciety here.
“ The Quarterly Review is much blamed
and reprobated by many even of those ot
the same party, politicks, Its scurrility is
really disgraceful.
“ I lately received a letter from Airs.
Hannah More, in which she says, ‘ I forgot
whether I tojd you in my last, that I had
spoken to Lurd Sidmouth, who visited me
at that time, of tbe shameful conduct of
some of our newspapers, reviews, &c. in
their unwarrantable treatment of America.
He expressed the utmost indignation, and
said it was highly offensive in itself, and
dangerous in its consequences. 1 since
spoke to another man in power, who said
he wished much to check it.’
“In a note which I received the other!
day from Mr. Wilberforce, he says. ‘ I chd |
scarcely express, in language sufficiently:
strong to do justice to my feelings, (he in
dignation I feel at the attempts 1 sometimes
witness, to produce a mutual spirit of alien
ation between the inhabitants of this coun
try and the United States, and my edeav
ours are u?ed to the utmost to cultivate a
mutual spirit of good will between them.’
“ I think you will be gratified by these
extracts, as demonstrating the feeling? of
those whose feelings you would most re
gard.”
orthographical remark.
We frequently meet with the word
“ Musselmen,” used as the plural of Mussel
man. This is as incorrect as “Getvnen” or
“ RoOuh.” The proper orthography of
the last syllable is, doubtless, “ mans” or
“ mauns.”

OBITUARY.
Died, in New HaveD, on the 28th April, the
Hon. Charles Channcey, L.L.D. aged7l, former
ly one of the Judges of the Superiour Court of
Connecticut. He was a man of very extensive
legal and literary acquirements, and among his
pupils are numbered many able jurists and states
men From an obituary notice of the deceased,
published in iheChnstiau Spectator, we make the
following extract :
But that in which he felt his own highest
interests, and those of his fellow men, to be
involved, was religion. His intellectual
endowments which were of so high an or
der, he believed to be given, by his Crea
tor, for high and holy purposes; to be em
ployed, in obedience to the divine com
jpaods. He had long been directing hi*
views, to that invisible state upon which
he has now entered. But he did not con
sider his own unassisted understanding, as a
sufficient guide, in preparing for Ihe retri
butions df eternity. He sought for the
light, which neither learning nor philo
sophy can bestow. He looked for a rev
elation from heaven, and he believed that
he found this revelation, in the volume
which claims to be a message from God.
In so momentous a concern, he was not
satisfied to rest upon the opinions of others.
He examined the evidences of Christianity
for himself. He consulted the records of
antiquity. He weighed the cavils of unbe
lievers, with the arguments which are ad
duced, in support of the scriptures. The
result of his investigations, was a settled
conviction, that the Bible is indeed the
word of God. *
But he did not confine his attention to
the outworks of Christianity. lie was sen
sible that he was bound to inquire, not only
whether God has made a revelation; but
what he has revealed—Though he had
read, extensively, the works of able theol
ogians, he was nut disposed to call any man
master. The tenets which he believed to
be of the greatest importance, and the most
clearly supported by scripture, were those
in which the great body of protestant
churches are nearly agreed. Nor did he
think it sufficient, to hold a system of spec
ulative opinions merely. He knew that
religion was intended, not only to enlighten
the understanding but to influence the heart,
and appear in the life. He early made
publick profession of his faith, and as he ad
vanced in years the effect of religious con.
sideralipns, on his feelings, appeared to he
more and more happy; inspiring him with
grateful recnlleclions of the past, and se
rene antiepations of the future After he
had reviewed, in his last sickness, with
deep emotion, the kiudness of providence
to himself and his family, the slumber of
death came upon him, gradually and gently
like the repose of the night, upon him who
ha* faithfully performed and fiuished, the
labours of the day.

BLACKBEARD.
The hunters had returned from the chase, and
we with good appetites sat down to a late dinner
which was furnished much to every one’s satis
faction, aud after the most approved mode of mo*
rooning. f
For the eveuing’s entertainment a walk on the
beacli was proposed, to which the youngest of
the party assented, and helter-skelter we all set
out, each one consulting himself as to his pace,
design and direction. For myself, 1 preferred be
ing alone, and was soon left behind. I shall n<>.
er forget that lovely evening ; the breeze caae
over the flood-tide, which apparently swelled
with every surge, while beyond the point of tha
island, as far as the eye could reach, the billows
foamed over the expanse—their whitened tops
appearing for a moment, and again losing them
selves in the chaos of motion : the plaintive qaaih
of the little waves as they chased each other oa
shore, spoke |>eace to my soul, and lulled every
emotion. Just emerged from the interiour ofthe
country, I could but look on this as the most
pleasing view I had ever witnessed. 1 had seen
among the mountains (lie roll of the Fretting
stream—l had looked from their summits oven*
extensive horizon, and delighted myself
their rugged steeps ; but in all there was wanting
the mellow freedom of the present scene. Here
no solitary gloom rested ; nothing but vigow
moved on the waters, and the oak-woods wared
more lightly, and looked more majestick and
imposing as the hoary moss streamed to the re
freshing sea-breeze. Tbe west was lighted with
all the splendours of an autumnal evening—lhe
few clouds that bung over the departing day-star
were tipped with the blazon of bis expiriugray,
and the reflection on the water showed another
heaven below. Such, thought I, is the handi
work of my God, and such are those beauties
which awaken the grateful emotions of the Chris
tian, and such is the hope of my sorrowiogbreast,
that one day the excellencies of creation will not
remind me of its terrors—when the tranquil sun
shine of the morning will not be succeeded by
the growling thunders of the evening—the heava
ens be clouded with black darkness, as if no beau
ty ever dwelt there—as if they were the seat of
restless rage and turmoil.—Yet a peaceful quiet
attends the opening day, and man forgets in bis
present joys, that he ever felt a storm.
The night came on, and its noiseless tenor
made the sounding of the shore more soft, more
sweet: all was still—tbe moon was running her
smiling course, and nature rejoiced in the strength
of her beauty. The party had completed their
walk, and we returned to the cheerful blaze of
the tent. In the morning we left the islaud with
the mist floating over its lagoons—left the wi IS
deer to his ambles and the lone spot to its repose. I
Yei will memory cherish the little time 1 remain-1
ed there, and recal amidst the tender recollecrl
tions of youth, the Island of Blackoeard.
