THE CLERGY OP NEW ENGLAND.
(£>■ The following is in extract from
an address published at Andover, (Maf
fachufetts)by the" Rev. Lyman Beecker
Chairman of the committee of Con
necticut Charitable Sccietyi for the
education or indigent pious y tying men
of the ministry. - v |
“ TUo poputa’ioit of Georgia, (sajfi this man
of the Bible) is 452,083, while in th bjttholc state
there are not more than Tb.v Ministers who
9rf oualiAf i y, preach the Gospel; leaving
448,433 of the population of {,Kai state, desti
tute of such instruction as God has decided to
be. proper for the salvation of men. A small
portion of this destitute population of the land,
enlightened by a feeble glimmering from inedu
cated men | but the greater part is unorganized
and in almost total darkness/.”
07 s We will not flandet the many
worthy and pious ministers found in
our State, by faying, there, are, among
j them evert Ten Qualified to preach the
; faith received at Andover: No, but
: we do believe there are many of them
qualified “ with fear and trembling’’ to
enter the Sanctuary, approach the Al
tar, and there for themselves and for
the errors of (heir people, with hands
clean, and conferences void of offence,
to offer to their God the sweet fine!-
ling facrifica of a broken heart, and a
contrite spirit, which in our opinion i%
more acceptable in the fight of the
Lord of Hosts, than an offering of
long prayers and fediftotis sermons, f!
is our earrieft wish there nevdr may be
found among the ministers of this (late
one so unmindful of his calling as to at
tempt the illumiaation of rhefe dark
regions with the Blue Light gospel
taught at Hartford and Andover by the
Praise God Borebones * of New Eng
land.
As the people of Georgia are, accor
ding to the Rev. Lyman Beecker in al-,
mofi total darkness , or what is worse,
environed by a feeble glimmering of
light, we must, for our own edification
and for the faivation of our numerous
readers, and also for the glofy of the
Saints, moft humbly implore this Right
Rev. Bather of the Round Heads £ to
teach us, in his neat luminous tract,
when and where the Great Almighty
I am dictated that the Religion taught
at Andover, was the only inftruptfon
proper for the faivation of men.” This
s a proceeding had in heavens chance
ry of which we have not been hereto
fore apprised; therefore, hearken unto
us, O, thou mat* of Sin 1 Gird up
now thy loins : for we will demand of
thee, and answer thou us. Canst thou
bend the sweet influences of Pleiades,
or loose the bonds of Orion ?—Canft
thou hying forth Mozzaroth in his sea
son ? or caCrft thou guide dreturu
with his foits ? canst thou set the di
mensions thereof in the earth ?”—The
truth of the whole matter is nothing
more than this, fome of the moft clay
brained, knotty pa ted, brazon faced , irou
teugued of ihe priesthood, flung with
rage and disappointment at the failure
of their last project pi “seeking the
Lord” at the Hanford Convention, and
of getting the Qualified and Legitimate
Saints into power, have laid their heads
together ln bold Conspiracy against
Heaven King,” and published the a
forefaid moft ur% baritable and unchrif
( rian like decision, merely for the wick
ed and malicious (atisfaction of doing
fome thing impiously bold, at which Sa
tan might blufti.
£ Thete driveling Priests firem lately
to have taken up the whimsical notion,
,that their religion is like their onions
and potatoes, none so good, nor 4o fifit

liidr to the termination of the late war
between the United States and Great

which was immediately done,’ but ob
serving ene of his men to take (belter
behind a fence whiHt he loaded his
piece, the Colonel peremptorily com
manded the trembling soldier to come
and stand behind him, while he per
formed that part of his duty. It isun
neceffary to add that the poor man was
compelled to obey, and that it produced
the intended effeft— National JEgis.
A Fact worthy of record —The arri

the Slst ult from her lalt cruize against
the British, and the conclafion of the
War against the dates of Barbary, by
the squadron tinder the command of
Commodore Decatur, on the 31st of
August last, have given life to the fol

to wit: the declaration, prosecution , and success
