From the Chronide $, Sentinel -ALk instant. SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. This body met in this city yesterday, and was called to order by the Rev. W: T.

Starks, of Georgia, Hon, a tisotn Lumpkiu of Ga. was called to the Chair. After religious services, a Committee was appointed to ascertain 'he nnifber of delegates present, and the religious bodies represented. The Committee reported about. 300 delegates from the States of Maryland,. Virginia. North Carthna, - S. Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,- Louisiana and Kentucky, and the District of Colum bin. Owi-g to the short notice of the meet ing of the Convention. the States of Mis sissippi, Tennessee, Arkntsas and Flori da. were represented only by Jet ter The delegates having been ascertaineJ, the Committee proceeded to appoint offi cers,as follows : Rev.

Our report in yesterday's paper of the first day's proceedings of this body. ( whieh for inielligence and respectability oh' un hers and appearante. nutberin as it does atmoun its delegates, some of tht firs) n.en in the co.nex'oni of-the South, reflects the highest credit upon the denominatn ) was confined to the morning session. during which, the body was orgiamaed. It wa, tcerefore incomplete, as no allusion was tmade to the proceedings of the afternoon s'ession, when Dr. Fuller, Chairnan of the Cotmittee. submittod the Report ofthat Commit tee. The Report was taken up, and was the si:hject matter of consideration during the afternoon, w len many verbal ameudnents were proposed ; some of which were acted upon and adopied. Thae Convention ad journed without coming to any fin-tl notion. Yesterday, (Frida%,) the Convention miet, and resumed the unfinished business of the previous day. which was the Report of the Committee. and afterspending some time in the consideration of amnertetnents, the Report as amended, which will be found below, was taken up. Of the discussion, in w hich many par. ticipated; during the consider ation of the amendments, we are unable to present any report, as we were present only at the conclusiou. Nor is is indeed of aty. im portPttre. as we learn that the a metnd ments only proposed a change in the phra .eology. It was, however. conuielted in the boet possible spirit, and the utmost good feeling prevailed throughoui. It is proper here to remark, that in our sketch of the debate on the main question, we have only attempted to give the sub. stance of the remarks of the various speak ers, while we have in every instance con -lled brevity. Our reports are conse quenttly meagre, and it may lbe that in somte itnst anco~s we haive noit Inully comtpre hetided the speaiker, as our ptsitiont s0~oe times prevented otir hearing distinctly what was said. In such a discussion, in so latrge atn assemblage, there is of course many iniqutiries and short speeches, which are not imuportant. atnd we htave, iherefore, for the sake of brevity, numitted tmuch of such matter. With this brief espilanation. we submit the report with the sinigho re mark, that it is onily designed as a mecre outline of the discussion. R EPOR T. The Committee tt whotm it hats hecti referred, to report a preetmble and resolu-~ titons, caunot but express their profoutild sense of the respotihility restitig onr . our body at the present eventful cri~is. n the integrity of the tiaton-the interest-,ofi trtith-the sacred eniterprise of convert intg the heathten, are atlI inavolved in youtr de liberattions. Tlhai ttch a Conivention was imtperiously demanded, mtust be atpparent to all. ~['he Bostont Board have in their answer to the Alabamta resolutions. most unniecessarily exceeded their power,-and violated their trust. It is it question ad mittin of uo debate. -that thte TIriermni Cotnventiotn was formed ton the principle of perfect equality of~ membhers from the south andi north. ,Antd what is. all ietpor taut the very quatlinuatiotns of MIissieoaries are prescribed by the originial contstitution of that Cotnvention: TIhe fifth article pro vidineg that. 'such peonsti ats are in full etnmtmunion, with somte regular chtirch of our denomination. atnd whlo furntish sat isfactory evidence of getntine pioty. gootd talents, and fervet zeal ftor the Redeem-. er's cause, are to be emuployed a Mission aries." Besides this, too, the declarntion tif the Board that if "at.y one 'thottld offer him-~ Isellf as a .lissionaty htaving slaves.uind should insist otn retaining them, as his property, we couldl not apploinit him," is an innovntion n a dearm ore from th enorse hitherto pursued by the Triennial Con veuti-n ,such parsns'bavineg been appoint ed. And, lastly, this infraction of the resolu lion passed the last Spring at Philadel pina. and the General Uoard, at their late neetifg at Providence, have failed to re. verse tbe decision. Amid such circumstances, your Coin mittee esteem it absolutely necessary that the friends of the constitution of the Fri enial' Conveiition, and the lovers of the Bible, shall at once take their stand and assert the-great catholic principles of that constitnton and of the Word of God. Your CmaTnittee, therefore, submit the. following resolution as embodyitg all ihat they are now prepared to suggest to your body. Resolved, That for peace and harmony, and in order to accomplish the greatest amount of good, and fur ah- maintenance of those Scriptural principles on which the general Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination of the U. States nas originally'- formed. it is proper that this Convention at once proceed to orgmnze- a Society for the propagation of the Gospel. On the question of agreeing to the Pre amable, the vote was taken, and it was unonimousily adopted. THE DIBATE. The Convet'ion then proceeded to the consideration of the resolution. and, The Revd. Mr. Jeter of Va.. being en titled to the floor, commenced by sat ing he had never addressed a deliberate as sembly under a deeper sense of his respon sibility, and without consuming tho ttme of the house-he would at oice proceed to the discussion o- the question. The speaker en;,reed his own views of the propriety of a Reparation in a few brief' remarks,-in which he referred to his pres cut and former position 'on this qestion. He had been a conservative, su tnuch so, ndeed, as to lie considered by some of his friends as leaninta to the North. lie was now in tubor of a separate organizatiun, and the mare he reflefted upon the subject, the difliiulties- which at first presented therseheli i., his mind vanished, and he l'elievenkhe- cause of God wonld -e pro tno ed tlrehy. Io the course of his remarks, Mr. J. read the follow' ing ,-xtract of a. letter of Dr. Way land,to himself. Dr. Wayland says: "Y.iu will 1fai-rata of course. I could not ask otherwise. Your righis have been infringed; I will take the liberty of offer. ing one or two suggestions. We have shown how Christians ought not to act. it remains for you to show us how they ought to act. Put away all violence, act with dignity and firmness, and the world will approve your course." Mr. Haynes. ofSouth Carolina. was de sirous to define his position. ie wa. the delegate of two bodies; one had instructed and the other had not; he, however, felt perfectly at liberty to act upon this ques. lion, ant' he mosi heartily concurred in the spirit oif the resolution, and shoul voie for it from a conviction that it should re silt in good. lie therefuire went hand, henri and soul for the resolution. Mr. Marshall, of Sotuth 'Carolina, fil lowed, and urged the (onveotion ao act pr.,ntpily, for that while we were delibera ting, the henathen were suffering, and con. cluded after a short address, in the same spirit. Mr. Duncan, of Va., had a difficulty in his mind; he desired some of the co unmittee to state why it should be called a society 9 which, if removed, he would vote for the resoltio. What relation would we sus twin to the Triennial Co'nvention ? Mr. Fuller explained: lie preferred the term society, because the Baptist Church cotnhu not, in this way be divided ; it was separate, itndependlem, republientn. The chlurches of a he Uuion were tiot under anty general hiesd, they were otnly associated for a distinct putrpose. It was an error to call it a chuarch, w-hich he n ould hte glad to have corrected; besides the word so cieity was more genteral. In re-ply to the olher questin. ns to the relatioti we would sustain to the Triennianl Cottvention, he remarked: We shoild occupy the old ground, the Narita has gone (fian lepiartaing from the original Consmitu tioti, to wvhich the South are willing,.toad here.- . . Hie believed the North would sever their contnection bedause of its hieterogenous character-an~ty we~re .more opposed to ..\holini~iton ahati to sepiaration.. Such waes hae opinion expesd'o him nt - Philadel pihia biy btetbreni from all quarters of the North. Some of the brethren here, contiitiuetd Mr. F.. felt trammaeled by instructions: he appreciated their .sit uations been use h~e was disposed to respect inistructions-hot he felt assured1 they would not long thus hang off'-they merely hung fire, and they would soon. feel thie necessity atid imhpor tance of acting .proinipily, atnd the wvhole SombI arnd Westn est would unaite upon thin questioti a-s a hand of 'brothters. -Atnd he concluded1 itt a most bieaufiful aind elo que t appieal to the Coinveuuion, that their acts upoin this occasion should be such as they would lie willing should go forth to ahe wtmld.- - Mr. Burro)ughs, of Penn., followedl and~ retmarked: It was with pain he contetm plated the -objerts. of this assembly-tnot because of htis oppositioni to the men sture. brat because he regretedi thme necessity of a sepatration friam those to whom thaty of te middle States had, been~ so long btutnd b, the ties of a, commaton brother. hoodt. Tfhe miidtdle ,States t ero opposed to the act ion of te Boston Board, atnd wvere at a loss what course to rrsue. They therefore waited for light. They had passed a series of resolutions in oppo sition to the action of that Board. In the discussion which was tiad upon those res olutions it was c utended that the Board at Boston Were only acting in the capacity of agents. and their course *%oubt not be sustained. The question ofa call for a special meeting of the Triennial Couven tion had suggested itself, but *hat good could result ? None.. The present state of thing arose from the feeling at the North..ard not solely from the action of the board, though this was the immediate cause of the decisive stop. He did rejoice and we might all rejoice. that amid all our dissenttins.Jehovah reign, ! and he doubted not the greatest good would result from their labors. As you cannot stop in your effiirs to convert the heathen, neither will we. You nor we will not patse in this glorious work. Whether we of the middle States shall co-operate with the North or South he knew not, but we are unwilling to sub mit to a severance of those chords which bind us together. He loved the Baptist Church and he loved it now amid the dif ficulty which surrounded it'even more than ever. The Church could not he severel al thnugl- they might act ii dilTerent spheres and'be governed by different regulations. W, of the Middle States, cannot ask or expect a union of the North and South, since the promulgation of the views of the Boston Board. A separate organization must hlie ad, and he hoped a separation would result in imparting a new and in creased zeal in the cause-he hid them therefore God speed-they could not do less than to ttuts meet and act, promptly and officially. Mr. Tinsley. of Va., said : 1r President : 1 am among tihe minor. ity i this Convention. who came to this place without having made up any opin ion as to Itea course I should tak.- in regard to the main questi' on before us-I mean a dlistinctive Southern organi:ution at this time. I confess, sir. I had my fears as to the propriety of such a measure. As no ap peal has been to the Triennial Convention. [-was apprehensive such a course might present us to the world, in the attitude of seceders from the great body of the Amer ican Baptists. Iwas fearful that as the occasion of this meeting was very recent, we had been so hastily called together, that on many im portnnt questions which relate to sueh an organization, w. had not had sufficient time to mature our .houghts, and that we might take sonie step which might be a source of regret hereafter. I had determined, when I came tr; ttiis place, that I should act with the majority of this Convention ; that to whatever point the South should be drawn by the threat cning element- by which we are surroun deid, I should be there, if atnong the living. And I was more particularly fearful, that with the feelings of our Southern breth ren, fresh and smarting under the- late action of the Boston Board, if a Southern society should be now formed, it tmight be such a one as would have a tendency to drive the more moderate portion of our Northern brethren further From us, and unnecessarily sepitate hearts thut were wont to beat in unison, in the great work before us, and invest faces that once bri2h'ened with the manifestations of per sonal friendship and christian affection, in a cold reserve; But, sir, after what I have heard. since I came to this place, without knowing the wishes of my contituent (as I hve not. had ant oppoirttunity to ctinsult them since my appoimnitct.) I shall go hteart and haud, for- an immediate organization.-: Antd, sir. in this I believe we stal lihe en~ tirely unied-ntot merely united one with aniother, but that the witt of Christ will form tihe bondl of oiur Untion -t hat we shall stand uponi the great latform oif truith,. inftueuced by a comtmon pirinciple. ia regartd to the colncietiiuts ditficuhties which tmay have troubled the iinds oif hose breth-retn'1 coposinig the acting Boa rJ of the Baptist I'rienunl Convention, we have nothing to do. While this stibjeci shall trottble moad ;tgitate thie bosom of alt Noirther-n ptart of our Chttrch; we, I trust. will keep steadily; before:ns the object for wrhich we n era originatlly associaited i.o,. gether. Witth the voice of otur aseesiing Lord. in his last cortmulud, stilt saunrding. in our ears-with a swellini. and expn sive benevelence- of heatrt ".hich, like- con nectinig seas, shall begirt the globe, antd with ani eye single to the glory of God, resting uplon the,platformt~ of this sin dat-k etned world, our greajt concern will be to be used as the intstrumets for spreading the light of life over the dark expantse of hutman.desol-dtion. And althotighi many of' our friendAs who are at hosme, like somte of us. have had their fears h. regard to the ilrt'ediate action of the South, sitr. I thitnk when wve rettura anti itnform them of the facts which have beeni brought to 'our knowledge in. this meetinig, they will be meadly .to biai us in 'he namte of God go forth, saying, we will go witli you. Mr. Nichols here rose stnd moved that prayer he made biy the Rev Mr. M1allory, which was adopted. atnd Mr. M. umost fer vetmly aud eloquoently imvokeid the'Snpreme Rutler to so gtiide their steps as to. Justify thetm to the world atnd r-edound to his own elory arnd the salvattion tif maunkind.. Tlhis wans a mhost imuposing and solemn scene, to witness so large a deliberative body, in which. uhe young. the middle need. and t he ernv-heauded jintriarch of the Church, bowed in- humbre' subuission before their Lord and Master. solei'ialy invoking his counsels to diret thoir, foot steps in the path of rectitu.le . The discussion of the- Resolution was then resumed, *hen - Mr. Culpepper, of So. Ca.; proposed a' verbal a metidment, which was accepted' by the Committee. . . The call for the question drew out, Mr. Hume of Va., who expressed a wish that all who desired to say anything apon the question should be heard. The Rev. John Davis of Ga. deprecated haste in the discussion of this important question, which was more important thad any that had ever before been agitateli.6y the Baptist Chtrch. The .truth was, a. portun of the. North, who were- opposed to the action of Boston Board. had waited' too long, they could once have, adverted a separation. but it was now too late. - - Would there he harmony in the South - and South-west? We had observed an editoriai in the Christian index, in which fears were expressed that Teinnessee aid Kentucky would not act with us. He be lieved they would,. and thousands all over the Union; who had not heretofore reflect ed upon the question, would also harmon ize with us. He thought a separation would be pr'o ductive of good; because agitation wotuld cease; and bre therefore favored ihe resolIt tion. Mr. Baker, of Ga., next obtained the'. floor. and remarked that the allusioi to the-; article in the fInder," imposed upon him:' the necessity of saying the brother had-' misapprehended its import; He had only. coned in that article that the brethren of ' Tennessee might he pasisive for a season. He had in his possession at letter assuring. him of the fact, that they would be with us, as also those of Hentucky. . He had doubted what position Kentucky would assume but that doubt was now removed; and he believed Kentucky would occupy the front rank. Mississippi. too, who had" at first hesitated, was now openly for sepp ;ation. and he had assurances that many North of Mason's & Dixon's line would justify the action of this Contention, aye, even the more moderate throughout the north. and the world would sympathise with and justify us. He thought ihe instnlctionsiven todel egates were inexpedient,' because this bodf was only primarily advisory. Mr. McNab; of North-Carolina, desired to say a feti words in referetce'to- his' State: Since he tame here, he had more. liiht, and he W-ould heartly support the restlution. and he' believed his: State' would approve it; Mr. CeCoy, of Kentucky, had sup: posed that Kentucky n as above auspicious. and was astonished to hear that any doubts had been ehteriained as to how shewould demean herself. lie as satisfied she would sustaitr.tire action of this Converr - tion); Here a -brief conversational disdussioi' was had as to taking the question; in which several geutlemen participated,.when Mr. l'art well, of Ala.. after expressing a desire for more discussion, remarked, as nothing had been said of Alabama; he would say a few words. He'had for sev eral years acted as agent of the Boston'' Board, and from his. opportunities- of. kniuwing he had no doubt Alabama was in bavor of action. - Here followed a short cuurveriionet discussion, when a general call was marde for the question, and on being pur,sthe Resolution was.unanimously adopted. It was then moved: that. the ft. intg names be added to the committee of six teen, who should prepare nd. report-a Constitution Gtr a Southern Association: Alessrs W- B.
