HOOPER, D. D., OF COLUMBIA, S. C. My Dear Brother: 1 proceed now to treat of the utility of Protracted Meetings, and shall state some facts that co-exist with them, reservingthe manner of conducting them for another letter. These meetings began with us in 1831. In July. of this year, a camp-meeting was held at Sardis. in this District, for five days,'which was marked by deeply inter esting incidents,-and attended with blessed results in the conversion of many souls. From Sardis, seven of the ministers came to this place, with whom we commenced a meeting that-lasted ten days, with deep ening interest to the end. From this meeling, -there went forth throughout the district and the neighboring regions-a powerful influence that: happily prepared the way for similar odes. 'The ministers, who had so successfully laboured with us, felt it their duty to visit other churches, and aller being affectionately thanked and prayerfully commended to other fields of labebr, formed themselves into tvo bands and'departed whither the spirit led them. Each band held, as it went, protracted meetings with the churches, successively. visited; and all the country around shared largely in the spiritual blessings of which we had so richly partaken.-These meet ings "came upon the inhabitants like the shoci of a mighty.earthquake, overturning the foundations of scepticism and the self wrought schemes of salvation, and- con vincing every one that there was a power and reality in the religion of Jesus Christ." These neetings were not peinliar to us. They were simultaneous throughout the Siate, and instrumental of a great moral reformation in all classes of society. They were repeated -in the succeeding year, and have been continued to the ,present time. Large have been the additions to the churches by their means-valuable mem bers have been brought into the fold of Christ-the capabilities of the denomina tion have been greatly multiplied, and its mn' Weiocupy a positio-*libcli enables us to exert a powerful instrumen tality upon our race for good. "God has done great things for us, whereof we are glad." -And I. trust, that we. will avail ourselves-of our advantages for yet more effective service in his cause. But notwithstanding the manifest utility of these meetings in the way just men tioned, there is a state of things connected with them not of the most cheering char acter that is worthy of serious attention. On this subject I remark, in the first place, that the spiritual condition of the denomi nation does not appear to be in a state of thorough progressive improvement, altho' we have enjoyed such precious seasons, and had. such numbers, added to our, churches. I speak now particularly of that part of the denomination.withwhich I am more immediately connected.. And this fact is the subject of remark -by judi cious brethren in various partsof our Zion,. who have'a larger opportunity of observa tioni than myself. Of us it may be said,. as it was of the Jews, "Thou hast multi plied the nation, and not increased the joy." . During our protracted meetings we are alive. but when they are over we re lapse into coldness, levitt, love of the world,- conrormity to, its .sinful customs, extravagncen and covetousness; so that by the time inother protracted meeting comes on' we are to bettet,'anid. perhaps.'worse, than when'the last began. Why.thisstate of thingsf? Why, 'vith such great excite mentslo spiritual advancements, do we not make more rapid prog~ess .in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savonr Jesus Christ? In 'connexion with the above, 1 add the following statisticts of our Association for ,ihe~asl :1years. During he first. four yearse of.these -,meetingt , -with us. there were. baptized 296Gspersons;.ercommuni 'ated -299, and restored:148e The average contribution of each white 'member to be; nsoetdjeii ec yarpa's sentulp t tl Msoefios, a 1i0 'cais 6 weills adafioiij.A'tileiisar.'1charfiss were dismiihed to form, another'jAsocia. tion, -leaviag..osr. body, 8. cdhurches. ? In the ten jy~aiat thaveelapsede since that period, there' have abeen liaptized -3531 p'ston'etcniniicate'd -74. andtresto, red25 T Shual"&ei-age &ontiibi' iond~i eneit ibjocts,~ as ~enrgup f# ihe A la i'tfrom t.each thit embe thfue tha oppl'me iation, whosecon me up.io the.Bodyi - , omeaup, there's tEhatf there woul di atd- cnt from due'liM tsr~cet t am tnste n t ' , i devotsehorte not otetautJ ; "-r - me ome iterally~atd suit tu their work. It would not seem, therefore, fron this state oi things, that the spiritual condition of the denomination is in a state of thorough progressive improvement. 2. 1 remark in the second place, that notwithstanding the -members added to our churches, including several young men oftalents, property, and good educa tion, our ministry has not increased in numbers. After the dismission of the churches,-ten years since, to form a new Association, we had remaining with us lOordained and 11 licensed preachers, 21 in the whole to 38 churches.-We have still the same number of churches, with 17 ordained and 4 liceneed preachers, still but in the whole. These facts, my brother, viz. the failure in thorough spiritual improvement, and of the ministry, as to numbers in our Asso ciation, are affecting and startling facts, and I think go far to show that we are far from making shat advancement in divino life which a truly spiritual state of.religious feeling would, in all'human probability, have produced in the time mentioned. My object now is to call Ihe attention of my brethren to this matter, that we may, if possible, ascertain the causes or means-of this state of things, seek out the remedy, and engage carnestiy in its appli cation. For this purpose, I proposo in my next, to treat more. particularly of protracted meetings, the manner of conducting them and the unfavorable influence, if any, which they may be supposed to exert upon the general state of religion in the church es. For if there bo any such influence derived from these meetings it is important that we should know it,- to the end, tha in their:continuance, we may guard against it.' Thfeinvestigaion 1 propose to make may draw your further attention, my brother, and the attention'of other breth-, reu, to this subject in a profitable way. The present state of the! political and re ligious world demands of christians their most spiritual and effective efforts. And it behooves them to know in what way they can most certainly contribute their id to the cause of their country and their God. Affectionately yours, . From the Richmond Enquirer. . TEXAS AND THE TARIFF-. -We unhesitatingly lay .hefore our rea-. ders the following extracts frodm a pri'vate letter, which we have received from a dis tinguished citizen of South Carolina. We throw ourselves upon the courtesy, as an excuse for the liberty we are about to take with his production : Extract of a Letterfrom CHARLFSTON-, Nov, 12 * Our hearts here are filled with the deepest gratitude at our triumph, because we believe sincerely that it will secure the permanent peace and independence of the country, and preserve the Union upon the principles 9f the Constitution. Mr. Clay's success would have endangered both. But now,-my dear Sir, enthusiasm and firm ness have won the victory; but it will re quire 'Wisdom and judgmetit to secure finally the fruits of that victnry. I have been with Mr. Polk this Summer, and we went over all the grounds fully aid freely. Iknow him well; he is apparently, a mild and retiring man; but on sound political principles, there is no firmer or truer man in this Union. He is thorough master of the whole field beforehim, and Isincerely believe he is an honest man. His diflicul ties-will be great; but trth, fidelity, and firmness, will carry him through; and by these, he will be able to impress himself upon the institutions of the .contry, and become a blessing to tho Union. hie ought to announce his priciple distinctly and clearly in his inaugural, and this will im mediately. save him much 'trouble and confusion, it will be due to his[ honesty and character, that he should announce himself in favor of a strict Revenue Tariff,. formed upon the principleri of the Com promise Act or 1833.:-:.his. will 'forin a. rillying point something definite immedi ately." Then, -'in -relatiod -to Texas, he ought to y'e-announce'the"famns declara tion inade by Mr.jMoitroe, hen Presi-, dent, in refesrence. to the. initerferenderC European 'Goverments.with those nations wjho had woni their independence upon-the American continent.

I have been opposed to all the recent agitation this summer in this State. There was aeither wisdom nor patriotism in it. But not withstanding this, 1 hope and trust Mr. Polk will announce in his lnaugura4 that he is for a strict revenue Tariff, and resting upon the principles of the Compromise Act of 1833. It is due to him-it is due to the country-and there will be no peace lithout it. I feel deeply upon this pm t, as I have risked much. to allay thsexcite ment In this State, and pledge myelIfupon' it. I believe my visit to Tennessee did much to satisfy our people. I know New York is prepared for such a position also, and deserves it." The Enqnirer adds,-We .must imitate our corresponeent, at least in the frank ness with which he expresses his senti ments-and, therefore, say at once, that we cordially second the proposition which he makes. We trust that Mr. Polk will come out, with the spirit of a freeman, and the. boldness of a man, and take the ground at once, on which he means to conduct his administration. Texas will acquire new confidence in his measures. The whole country, too, will understand his views.in regard to the Tariff. The act of '42 is out of the question, The Compromise Act of '33 has been proclaimed by Mr. Clay himself to be sufficient to give ade quate protection to domestic manufactures. There is one great reason, why Mr. Polk sh6uld speak out promptly upon this sub ject. The country should understand his views. It is even better for the manufac turers themselves to know what to de )end upon for their own future operations. 5' abihty of duties is of more consequence han the imposition of a high but fluctua ing rate. There is one fact, to which our South rn corrrepondent refers, of some conse luence. We mean the course New York s disposed to take upon this subject. And ince we have received his letter, we are Iappy to find several evenis, transpiring fter the election, calculated to confirm his uformation. I From the N, 0.

'In reading that article. we were forciilyf sjruck with the following Paragraph. which shows identity of feeling nd principle- with thie federal party of .811, '12 and '13,and that of 1844.

"In 1811, on the Admission of Louisiana > the. Union, Mr. Quincy declared, that 'the act itself would be a dissolution of ie Union."

These amendments were proposed y the Legislature of Connecticut to the ther States of the Union. We have the sports ofthe Legislatures of New Jersey nd Pennsylvania upon them. In 'soth, io were rejected ; and we infer that they iet with favor no where.
