It is apprehended, however, that the chaniges go often taking place in our population, together with othercamseq. rendered it necessary that the saiC landable object should again be underta ken. Accordingly another Convention was proposed to be held at the same place in De cember, 1837, which, from untoward circum tances. fit led of effect. As there is grouind for apprehending, that the need for continued and active exertions in this great and good cause, is scarcely in any degree diminished, the Bible Society of Charleston, respectfully invites all kindred Societies Throughout the State, and the friids of the ob ject generally. to nppoiit anid send Delegates, to a Convention proposed to meetat Columbia, on the first Tuesday iii December next, for the purpose of devising and carrying omit such measures as may be deemed best suited to sup ply, and keep supplied, every reading individ ual in the commonweath. willing to receive it, withm a complete copy oftie Holy Scriptures. The object comametids itself, we trust, to most who are friendly to the best interests of their follow-men. Editors in the State, are respect fully reqeste-i to give this paper an early and pronminent insertion in their columns; and Cler gymen whosm apprinobatimn it may meet, are earnestly solicited to read it publicly to their congregations, ait an early (late. and to co-ope rate m the measures proposed, in such way as they may dmem best.
