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.

In cheerfully complying with this request, the writer is aware ut iho delicacy ot his position, eg being one if theyounye.-t Minis ters o( the Presbytery, mid as the subjects im- der <l'K' - us*ioh sr(> of 'lie most weighty char after.

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 y" form upon such Sccismiw.

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'.

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.— Halt. American, 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 ilies, and their male relations who aided them in their attempts lo escape were Hogged or banish ed to Liberia. Pbe death of Jerome Bonaparte turns out to he a mere report, which had its origin in one of tile Paris papers; he was ill, but not dangerously, at Milan. i Cincinnati is the only town or city of impor j tance in the west, which has made no expres sion of j ,y in the result of the leoent elections, What is the reason of this.— St. Louis Jlejiuh lican.

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."
