To the Editor of the Chvoncle and Sentinel :
Dr.au iSiu : You are perhaps aware that there
has been lor some time past, division* in the
Presbyterian church us this country, of an me
pleasant nature. These divisions have become
■o interwoven w ith names and personal ehur.ic.
er, that u* an individual who feels himself to
have been wronged in the excitement which has
been produced, I am constrained to the necessity
ol asking a place in your columns. Allow me to
state the reason of a request to introduce into
your paper, matter) ol an ecclesiastical nature.
During the last autumn, a mooting of MopCtvcll
Prettilylery, was held in lire town of Athens, in
fhisState, At that meeting, I had the honor to
propose 10 the Presbytery, the passage of n series
offtosotutions, by which the churches within the
hounds of that hotly, were culled upon to consid
er the propriety of sundering their ecclesiastical
connection with the North. Those resolution*
were offered on two grounds: first, because the
Northern church was engaged in a discreditable,
and apparently, endless strife; and second, be
cause the gieat muss of nut church at the North,
ste of opinion that we commit sin by holding no
gro property.
Subsequently in editorial article appealed in
the Charleston Observer, commenting with so,
verc stricture and unwarriiiibih le ineundn, upon
these resolutions, rutd calling upon the author to
give the public his reasons, for what the editor of
that paper was pleased to consider an extraordi
nary movement. In answer to this call, which
»just regard to myself required mn to meet w i h*
out hesitancy ; 1 Wrote and published the pam
phlet which accompanies this letter.
This pamphlet was the subject of n review of
four columns in the Charlesimi Observer. As un
answer to it, I requested the editor to publish the
pamphlet, which he had (nought lo the notice o'
his readers, as I thought, in an unfair way. This
wa« a courtesy which would not haVobcTn ordi
narily rslused. It was, however, repeatedly re-
Idel’ll, •rt.s. -Jii.ir was then asked to furnish to
one of my friends, a list ol Ins subscribers, that
the pamphlet might be sent lo them,so that tlio*..
who had read the review, might also read that
which hud been reviewed. This favor was like
wise refused.
The only alternative which remained, was to
seek fiom s political journal, that redress which
a religious press had denied.
It i* tor these reasons that I respectfully ask
thro publication of this pamphlet in the co'umn,
of your widelv extended paper. In it will be
found the whole extent of my off-nding; which
consists In striving to deliver the South from an
injurious controversy, and in proposing to de
mand from the Northern chinch, that they cease
to meddle w ith out domestic institutions,
llv complying with tin, request, you will corn
ier a lasting favor on one who lias been denied
the ordinary mode of redress.
I am respectfully yours,
W. HOWAKD.
Dt;ar Uui;fn;iKM:—You have proh»h v
imticuti in a recent mitiihur of the ( liurle*loo.

I cnnnectiuii ol all of us with your College, i
j this subject needed any notice, unless then
was some design in the omission of Mr Tul
I triage’s name, which did not meet the eye.—
It would seem however, that the whole ulln
I mini was irrevaleiu.
| A mist alum view Ins been entertained bj
( some persons, as to tie character of the snh
• Mtitule, which was offered in Alliens. Thcv
■ sei iiifij to think that it proposed n declura
j non nt iiiimed atu independency. Such was
•hy no means the case. It was proposed, to
I reijnesl the chorees m Hopewell Presbytery,
I to ilc'cns.s (lie propriety, under existing cir-
I i Ufmluiici s, of our becoming ecclesiastically
lan indepi'iident body, and in order that they
| might have lull time tor llio mature consider
i ulioii of this grave mailer, mid that there
, might be indoubt ns to their .sentiment?,’ they
j were further requested to send up to the
Presbytery their w ritten opinions, as to the
proper course to bo pursued. fSo that the
j calm ilispi; ;> iomt'.e voice of all the churches
! might bo known to the J'retbytery before ibey
( acted ii|ioii mutters, concerning winch tin:
| best men in the church weru divided m ecu
tiinent.
Tiie substitute further proposed, that a
committee be appointed to confer with soma
I other iSmillierii Judicatories upon the pro
priety of f.n in.ng an independent Southern
ecclesiastical organ /alien,and tins committee
were instructed, it the general voice in llm-c
bodies seenfed favorable to such a design, to
enquire whether they would he willing to
send delegates to meet in Convention, in
blank tone and place, ill order to complete
their purposes.
Hut the Ub etver, bus asked, tviretlicr this
proposition , was made, *•! tiut we might be
tree from the restraints which our present
ecclesiastical conn,Oct ion imposes—free to
introduce new standards of doctrine, or none
nt all, nml free to introduce it new form of
Government or none at all.” It ik, inv
brethren, by precisely such inuundues as are
found m the quotation from Unit press, that
i.uspicionH have been originated and exten
ded m the Presbyterian ■church. Tito editor
ofthul paper, who ih personally acquainted
with nearly every membui ol Hopewell Pres
bytery, knew perfectly well that lucre was
not a man in thin body, who was capable
even of contemplating such measures, as he
here suggests. It is surprising, to use no
other term, tnal ho should ever have written
those words.
To some persons, the idea of independency
is connected with all that ik terrible hi scliisin,
disorganization and revolution. Uni it is
not m reality this dreadful thing. The re
sult of independency us a Presbytery, on the
snpposit on that no other Presbytery of the
Synod would join us, would bo simp y send
ing no mure delegates to the Assembly, and
no further attendance upon trio meetings ol
Synod. It is, however, hy no means certain
that a majority of the Synod would not be
prepared lor this step, when it shall have
neon fairly laid before them, lint whether
such should be the case or not, at all events
our con css in: i of faith would bo unaltered; our
siutidard of doctrine the same, our meeting*
m ibo church anil in tlie Presbyteiy conducted
open the same rules and principles, and our
h-rui of government, altered only in respect
of our connexion wiln the Assembly. All Unit
would be necessary to constitute us an in l /;,
pendent body, would bu to declare at our next
meeting, ibui wo will semi no more delegates
to the Assembly, either for a time, or perms,
ncnily.
Lulus now proceed to consider the ad
vantages which would result to our churches
from this step.
In the first place, it will bo I lie only wav
of delivering ns from a controversy alike fear
ful, witii that which bus rent asunder the
northern churches.
Sumo persons seem lo suppose that the
recent measures ol tlio Assembly will bo
productive of a lasting peace to the church
es. Let us gluucc lor a moment at what a
majority of Uiul body ul its lust session has
done. Tor the sake ol ridding the church ol
persons, whom they considered not properly
members ol it, they proceeded summarily
to pronounce llicni out of our connexion, uml
uo lougoi entitled to any of lliu privileges id
membership, Tlio bodies cut olf, consisted
of tour synods and olio presbytery; those bo
dies wore composed ol about (itit) ministers,
501) churches, and 00,000 coimuuineams.—-
I’liu assembly, by its (mb u: ad, recommen
ded to the churches, to discountenance the
operation of the American Homo Missiona
ry Society, and the American Education iSo
j cisty within their buunus. And to prevent
j the possibility of tiieir opponents again üb
] taming Hie m istory, they resolved tuat when
1 I any new presbytery should bn formed, the
assembly hid a right lo enquire whether tins
1 presbytery had been created lor party pur-
I poses, and if m the opinion of the majority,
| such a design seemed to he the motive m the
’ creation ol tins presbytery, then Us do ogaies
i should be declared, thuugn regularly appoin
ted, til have no light to a seal in that body.
Tno ground ol this resolution, which i.as tne
appearance ol allowing the assembly to m
-1 vado tlio rights of the preebyterus, wan*
' charge against (ho new scoot) , of having d t .
i ! vided their presbyter es to an unnecessary
, extent, m order that they might have an ii
| creased representation in our highest cede
isaslicul council. Tne majority in favor ol
‘ | these acts was between UU and -10 - embers
rim majority contended that in ull of these
measures they acted constitutionally and Un
1 the bust miurcsi of the church. In those
■ views they were undoubtedly sincere. Too.
are views wlncu t oy are unwilling io change
I I’neie is no question tlial lliu leaders in
(hose measures <d re tin in would raider go
.tin the slake, than Undo what they have, a.-
ready done; lor they have lolt thcm-elves cal
led m the must solemn manner lo the d.s
• charge of a painful but imperative duty.
On the other hand, the minority declared
the nets of excision to he unconstitutional,
■illegal, ami prompted hy vindictive feelings
‘ toward*themselves. They held, for instance,
that the Synod of the Western Re.-crve, was
originally part of the Synod of PiUsbur»—
| that when the Synod ol Pittsburg became so
large as to render it burdensome to itself ami
j inconvenient lor its members to attend its
met tings, that it petitioned the assembly to
■ create a new Synod from it, which they did]
r- appointed tlie limp and place of meeting',
;l ami selected one from among them lo prcacn
n die opening sermon, winch « 'he u.^tiul

'A hyionan measures prevailed uinoriij diem,
r- they said iha* o fair trial should hi given

il I fiat itXvas a thing unheard of in a free gov
e eminent, and under the equitable provisions
I- of the presbytcrmii emistiintioii, to condemn
- without □ semblance o! n trial. In reference
l- to the third presbytery of Philadelphia, they
argued that the difficulties connected with
y the format on ufTlna presbytery had been ain
>- icably adjusted—that it was no longer found,
y ed upon the elective aflituiymriHeiple, but was
accurately bounded by geographical lines,
s and that there was tint a shadow of a charge
0 could he ogams'. I hem since Hie proceeding
h meeting of (he assembly.
With respect to the resolution giving power

y the delegates from newly created presbyte
- terms should be unfilled lo a seal in (lie us
'• mnihly, tl.n minorty urge I that this war eiv
f mg almost arbitrary sway to the assembly—
-3 Unit il 11 in power granted by the resolution
_■ should he exercised in the rtjc:tion of any

further, that n ('actions majority, who, wlieth

i ... i'liey condemned the resolution aliecting
the American Holin' Missionary Society, and
i the American Education Society, as at va
• r.ance with the proper spirit of a Christian
church, i’liey uflirmcd that It was a thing
i unusual for the church of Christ, lo hold up
■ to public reproach, two societies, wuosc sole
object was lo increase the church of Christ,
and that to discourage the operations of onw

men for the ministry, and the other, which
waste sustain them when'laboring in desti

entirely novel met hod of obeying tiie great

The minority continued to protest against

Nor is this all. The rallying of the militia so
promptly, and wi h such a spirit, Ids given me a
higher idea ol the bravery and patriotism of the,
yeomanry of this country than, Vankee as I am,
I had been able to conceive. The general order |
ol tlie commandant was receiced m many ol the

A gentlemen who happened to lie ut Hamburgh,
described lo me the scene which look place llteie.
The good minister had just got to fifthly in Ins
sermon, when the messenger, covered with mud,
entered the church. Every eye was turned in
astonishment which lie walked up to the pulpit,
snd gave the notice lo the clergyman. The old
gentleman looking over the paper and lifted up
tils eyes lo heaven, and then read it to the con
gregation. Every one rose up by an involunta
ry impulse. They looked at each other, shook
hands all round, and bidding each other farwell,
tlie women sobbing out their adieus, and some
of the men too, wittr team rolling down llicir har
dy cheeks from the Here dibits of sympathy, for
woman’s tears nave an influence upon the stern

; I bii»»Af, P. M.—Money is becoming lighter
I i and tighter, and will no doubt continue so until
j the flanks re-ume. The Banks are preparing to
r resume specie payments, and are gening m all
■ I their bills and curtailing their discounts to that
j end. The Legislature have commenced then
, ■ business with great activity. The repeal of the
I j small bill law has been fully discussed, and will
pass the lower house by a very decided majority,
j There seems to boa good spirit towards the
Banks, but at the same time a dtspotion not to
I extend any indulgence to them in not redeeming
their notes after the 10 h May. A bill has been
, introduced lo require all the Banks the Slate to
redeem their bills in the city.
There appears to be a general feeling in the
t city against the Express Mail. The petition lo
Congress to do away the in til, which is left at
the Exchange, is very generally signed.
Tuo.isury draf s are getting lower. The credit
• of the Government is in very bad repute.
Stocks—Stocks underwent no material
■ change, and but a moderate business done. Uni
ted States Bank firm. Hudson and Delaware a
i j shade better. Some descriptions of Kail Roads
j very low—M ihawk 66—Harlem 55—Long Is

THE WARS.
\\ e have no l iter intelligence from thc.war,which
has been ended more lh: n a seme of lirites in Fior
*da,and in which more warriors have been slain in
feports and suppositions than the Semi miles
could ever muster.
l inm Canada we have nothing of serious mo
ment. The pa;,jots . t Navy Island continue
to lorlify, and the royalists to make preparations
for the attack, and we shill certainly have the
news of a battle in a few days. It is said in our
slips that a small boat in the mouth of Chip
pewa creek belonging to 'the loyalists was sunk
with a 21 pounder in it, by a shot from the guns
of Navy Island. In the foreign news received
this morning it will he perceived that the news
of the disturbances it Canada has reached Eng
land, and that more troops vie ordered hither.—
An English paper speaks of it as a matter of
doubt whether it will he policy to keep Canada
| at the expense of a war, as England could derive
las much benefit from it in an indepcii-lent state,
as in its present condition.

dilr, Jones : I do not recollect whether the fol
lowing Resolutions have been printed in your pa
per; it not, please publish them, as the unani
mous act of the Synod of South Carolina and
Georgia, upon the subject of Slavery, at its late
sesion in Augusta; to oblige your friend:
liesolved, That this Synod consider Slavery
I as a civil institution, with which the General As.
sonihly has nothing to do, and over which it has
no right to legislate.
2nd. That this Synod look upon whatever acts,
heretofore passed by the Assembly, which have
been of the nature of legislative acts, on the sub
ject of Slavery, as without authority and void ,
and shall so consider all similar acts in time lo
come.
3d. J hat under the present circumstances of our
Church and country, it is the duty of the Assem
bly, to give an open and decided assent to the
principles embraced in lljc first resolution.
4t i. I hat these resolutions he foiwardcd to the
stated Cleik of the General Assembly, to be laid
before that body at its next meeting.
Suicide.— One on the Indian warriors, confin
ed at the Fort on Sullivan’s Island, committed
suicide on Sunday night last. It appears that he
had been concerned in some depredations upon
the hen roosts of the inhabitants of the Island and
was severely reprimanded by the chiefs for the
act; threats of punishment were also ihrown out,
which doubtless, was the cause of his committing
the act. Yesterday morning he was found sus
pended by the neck, with a piece of cow hide, his
knees almost resting upon the ground and life
less, A Coroner’s inijuest was held on the body
yesterday,— Charleston Courier, 9 th inti,
Phe Cottok Chop. —The recent advance of
one penny a pound on the price of Colton in Eng.
land, it maintained, will prove of the utmost im
portance to the commercial operations of this
country. The force of this remark Will hi better
understood after reference is had to n simple cal
cillation made on the subject by the Philadelphia
U.S. Gneelte. Estimating the crop of 1837 at
eighteen hundred thousand hales, and allowing
400 pounds to a hale, the re-ult is an aggregate
of 720 millions of pounds of Colton—on which
the advance ol a penny sterling a pound, or two
cents, would produce fourteen millions of dollars.
A sum sufficient to relieve us in a great degree,
if not entirely, of our indebtedenss to Europe.—

The Emperor of Russia has committed the
disgusting atrocity of levying six hundred of the
fairest young women among the Polish peasan
try, and taking them by force from their families
lobe married to hie soldiers in the military farms
at VVoznesensk! I lie women fied and resisted,
but in vain; they were carried off from llieir fam

their attempts lo escape were Hogged or banish

Flic Charleston Indianian, a very violent Van
Bnren paper, has no apology lo make for tho
great New Vmk discomfiture. That paper says: \
“Gut of 128 me niters of Assembly, the Whigs |
have only got a “cool hundred." This is not so j
bad as it might have been—we might have lost !
; the small balance, and probably would in two i
weeks more hail the election been postponed. |
