THE SOUTHERN' BAPTIST CONVEN - -.TION To their Brethren in the United States ;to the congregations connected with the respective churchds;. and to all candid meth A-painful division has taken place in th M ssionary. operations of the ,American Baptists We would explain the origin, the princples am4the objects of that di. vision, or the peculiar. crcumstances in which- the.oarganization.of the: -Southern Baptist Conventiodi became necessary. Lei not the extent of this'disunion be exaggerated. " At the. present ume it in volve .only the Foreign: and Domestie lissions of the denomination.. Northern and Southein-Baptists .are still brethren. They differ in no a'rticle of tite faith. They are guided by the same.principles ot gos pel order. Fauaticaf!temps.have iddeed been matide, ip some, quarters, Ito .exclude us.of Iie South: from christian fellowship. We do ntit retort These attempts;.andihe lieve their extent to be comparatively Jim ited.,. Qur chri tian fellowship is .not, as we-feel, a matter to he obtruded on any one. We abide by that of our God, his dear Son; and all his baptised follutwers The few ultra Northern brethren to whom we allude.. must take what. course they please. Their conduct has not influenced its in- th movement. We do not regard ;the.srbtotre "r. extendipg .to fo'aidatidu principles, nor can wethink that the great body-of-our Northern. Brethren will so re gard.it. Disunion has proceeded,. how ever,.deplorably far., - The first: part of our dutyis to show that its origin is with others.' This.is its history.., f. The General Convention of the Bali tist denomination of the United States was composed of lirethren from every part of the Aterican Republic. Its constitution knows no difference between slaveholders and non-slaveholders. Nor during the pe rind of its existence for the last thirty years has it, in practice, known any thing of this distinction. Both parties have contribrted steadilj and largely (if never adequately) to those funds which are the basis of its constituency ; both have yielded .its.office hearers of ail grades; its missionaries and translators of God's word, its men of toils many, and of prayers not unavailing. abroad and at home. ,Tbe honoreip! of bothiese clag'bas e iWrlk d in clo sest sympathy with each other; anticipa ring in the Board room and in the month ly Concert, that higher, but not holier un ion now in their case consummated. Throughout the entire management of its early af'airs, the whole struggle with its early ditlieulties, there was no breath of discord between them. Its Richard Fur tan and its William Steughton, its Jesse Mercer. and. its Thotmas Baldwin led on the sacrimeital host ihoulder to shoulder. and heart to heart. Their rivalry being only in earnest eltlris fora common cause, their entire aversions anti enmtities were directed with all the strength of their souls. agrinst the common foe And to the last, did they not cherish the long he. lief that they left ni other enmities or aversions ; no other rivalry. to their sue cessor, ? In particular, a special rule of the con. stitutiou defines who may he missionaries. viz: "Such persons only as are in full corn munion with some church in our denoi-i lion, and K ho furnish atisfactory evidence of genuine piety. Good talents, and ferve.I zeal for the Retdeeme-r's cause." Now, w hile under this rate the slaveholder has been,.in his turn, ettimployed as a mission ary, it is not alleged tiat any other' per soits that those above described,. have been aptpointed. Motreover1hle -iinportanti posi of a souperintentdeti of the educan~tiotn of1 native missionairies htas beeti asigtied, with universal approbation, to the pastor of one of our largest slaveholding churches. But an evil hour arrived. Even oumr humble efforts in the cotnquest of the w.orld to God excited the accuser of our breth ren to cast dliscord amoing us; attd in the last two Triennial Cunventionis, slavery and anlti slave~ry men began to draw ofi oin difierent sides. How did the noblem spirits on eachi side endeavor to meet this! They proposed and carried aitmost utnani mously, the following explicit resolution: "Resotved, That in co operating to gether, as me.mbers of this Conventiotn irl thd work of foreign missions, we disclaim. all sanction, either expressed or implied, whether of slavery or anti-slavery ; but as individuals, we are free to express atnd tc proimote, elsenherd,our views on these subjects, itn a christian manner and spirit.' Our successors will find it dimfiuh tc believe that so irniportant and plain a dec. 1a~ation had hecomne, before the close al the first year of tho trietnnial period, a per fect tnullity. in December last the acting Board of the Convention, at Boston, adop teed a tiew qualificatioii for missionaries, a new special rule, viz-that "If aniy oat who shall off'er himsaelf for a missionar) having slaves, sho'dd insist on retaining them as his property, they could nor ap point him.!' "One thing is certain,"they continue, "~We could never be a party tc any arrange..,ent which implies approba tion of slavery" We pray our Brethren and all candid men to mark the date of this novel rule the close of the first six months of theim three years' power, a ~late at which the Coni promise resolution could scarcelj have reached our remioter Missio" sta tions. If ustirliation had bteen intended could it hav~e beeni more fitly timiedi AC usurpatin of ecclesiastical power quite suined at a period when the aggrieved "thousands of Israel," has, as it, now an pearsd. npractical remedy. Its 'obvious tendenc was, either our final subjugation to that :wer, or a serious interruption of the fliw'of Southern. benevolence. The latter'wasthe far more probable evil; and the Boslan Board knew this well. They were from various quarters apprised of it. _-We, -n-the other hand, did not move in the matt of a new organization until three liberal ies had refused to send North ward de, more contribitpious. Our lead ers had' ch'sen new rules. Thus came war within our gates ; while the means of war on -the common enemy were daily di iniisihtg.. By this.decision the Board -had placed itself in direct oppositiob to the Codstitu tion'of-the Convention., The only reason given forthis extraordinary and unconsti tutiontaI etum being-that A The ap pointing'iwer for wise and good purposes, is confidad to the' acting Board." On such a.slight show of authority, this Board undertook to declare that to be a disqual ificatioi'ih one who should offer himself for a Missionary, whichthe Convention had saidshall.not a be disq'ualification.. It had also expr4psly given its sanction to Anti slavery.opidions, and impliedly fixed its coudemnaiion on slavery, although the conv'e'tiion =had said that "neiither;".should he done. And further it forbade those who .shall app.lf for a. Missionary appointment to -.express and promnte elsewhere" their views onlhe subject of slavery in a right "manner pand spirit." when the constitu tion.decla'd they "were free" to do so. These brfihren, thus acted upon a senti ment th 'fave failed to prove-Thatsla very, ' an -all. circumstances sinful. Whereas their :own solemn Resolution in the last4Oonvebtion (their's as much as ours) left Cwee'to promote slavery. Was not this ' 'us free, and "in a Chris tian spin manner" to promote that which in thir hearts, and according to the present shtwing.of their conduct, they re garats asin 1. Thoujh; perhaps, has been said of the origin oftahis.movement. Were we asked to chiara erize the conduct of our northern brethren in. one short phrase we should adopt tihat sf the -Apostle. It was "FOR DIDDING Us'to speak UNTO THE GEsTILEs.' Did it not opstruct ut, lay adkind of fR' ansliio et u on us in the dischag cf 'rimp~ uye uy' a'duty-to which the church has been, after the lapse of ages, awakened universally and successfully; a duty the very object, and only object, of our long cherished connection and confed eration ? And this would seem the place to state, that our Northern brethren wore dealt With as brethren to the last moment. Several of our churches cherished the hope that by means of remonstrance and ex posiulation, through the last Annual Meet ing of the Board of Managers at Provi dlence, the Acting Board might be brought to feel the grievous wrong-they had in flirted. - The Managing Board was there fore affectionately and respectfully ad lressed on thesuhheft, and was entreated to revise aiid reverse the obnoxious interdict. Alas! the resulis were--conutemptuous si lence as to the application made; and a dlelib'rate resolve. expressing sympatlhy with the Actina Board, and a deterrmina tion to sastain them. Il. The Principles of the Southern Baptisi Convenoton it remains ihen to be stated, are conservative; while they are also, as we trust, equitable and liberal. They propose to do the Lardi's work in the way our fathers did it. Its title designates at once its origin and the simple, firm abi ding of 'the South' on the ground from whicti it has been so uuconstitutionally and atnjusily attempted to ejeci us. WVe have but enqu~tireda for, "'the old paths'.' of .Mis signary operatiotas; 'asked' for,and attem p teal to restore the practically 'good way.' Thue Constitutiona we adopt is precisely that of the original union; that in coannec tion with whaicth, throughout his Missionary life, Andoniraml Juadson has lived, and under whtich Ann Judson anid Boardman ha died. .We recede from it..no single step). We have c'ons'ructed for our ,basis no new creed; acting in this matter upon a Baptist aversion from all creeds but the Bible. We use the very terms as wye uphold the true spirit and great object of the late 'General Convention of the Bap aist denomination of the United Stetes.' It is they who wronged us that have rece ded. We have receded neither from the Constitutioni nor from any part of the orig inal ground on-'which we mei them in this work. And, if we ask in parting, the otigintal sand broad Bible ground of Con' federation were not 'equitable, howv came it so nobly anid so long to be acted upon" If equitable, why depart from it ? WVe claim to have acted in the premi. ses with liberality towards our Naorthern brethren. Thraust fromt the commaron plat form of equal rights bet wveen the Northern and Sou'her'nLeherches, we have but re constructed that platform. Content ws ith it, we adhere to i1, and reproduce it. as broad enough for us anad for them. Have they thrust us off? WVe retain but one feeling in ia ecase ,Tha2 we will not prac. tically leave it on any account : much less in obedience to such 'usurped authority, ot in deference to such a manifest breach of trust as is here inv'olved. - A breach o1 covenant that looks various ways-beav enwaird and earthivarai. For we repeat. Lhey would forbid tus to speak unto the -Genfiles.. Thae Jerusalem church, then. mnust be rvgather'ed at thie suspeeted Sa Imaria, or at somea new ceantre oroperations: life A ntioch. -'One thine is cortain" We must go every where preaching 'the word , "We can never be a party to any arrangement" for monopolizing the Gos pel : any arrangement which like that of the Autocratical Interdict of the: North, would first drive us from our. beloved col ored people. of whom they prove that they know nothing comparatively, and from the much wronged Aboriginds-of the country:-and then cut us-off from the whitening fields of the Heathen harvest labor; to. which by cogent appeals and solemn prayers, they have so often protes ted that, with, us, they were inadequate. I.Il' Our OBJECTS, then, are the exten dion of the Messiah's kingdorn, and the glory'of our God. Not~disuiiian 'with any of his people; not 'the upholding of any form of human polity, or civil rights; but God's' glory, and Messiah's increasing reign ; in the promotion of which,' we find no necessity for relinquishing any of our civil rights. We will never interfere with what is Casars* We will not com promit what- is God's. These objects will appear in detail on the face of our Constitution, and in the proceedings, which accompany this' ad dress. They are distributed at present, be tween two acting Boards for Foreign and Domestic Missions, having their respect ive seats at Richmond, Va., and Marion, Ala. We sympathize with the Macedo uian cry from every part of the Heathen world,-with the low moan. for spiritual aid, of the four millions of' half stifled Red Men,' our neighbors; with the sons of Etiopia among us, stretching forth their' hands of supplication for the gospel, to God and 'all his people,-and we have shaken ourselves from the night mare of a sit years' "strife about words to' no profit," for the profit of these poor,' perish ing and precious souls. Our language to all America, a~td to all 'Chrisrendon, if they will hear us, is "come over," and for these objects, as ye have' souls. and the divine Saviour of. souls, "help us." We have had more talk than work about these objects too long. We have waited quite too long-for the more learned and gifted, and opulent and worthy, to lead our way towards these objects; and we have shortened debate upon them to get to bu siness. Our eyes and .hearts are turned with feelings of patental fondness to the B.urmah and the Karens; with a zeal in, which we are willing to 6~ counselled by, God and all considerate men (but by none else)-to the continent of. Africa, and her pernicious fountains of idolatry. oppres sion and blood; but yet more, with uuut terable hope and' thankfulness, to .China and her providentially opened ports and teeming thirty millions. i Among us, in the South, we have property, which we. will offer to the Lord' and his cause, in these'channels-some prudence with which we would have our best wisdomf to dwell; a. d professions of a piety which we seek' to have increased and purified. like that of the first Baptist churches, when they had "rest ; and walking in the fear of the Lord,and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied." In parting with' belofed brethren' and old coadjutors in this caue,nw e could weep, and have wept, for ourselves and for them ; but the season, as well of weeping as of vain jangling, is we are constrained to be lieve, just now past. For years the pres sure of men's hands, has been upion us far too heavily:. Our brethren' have pressed upon ever' inch of our privileges and our' sarred rights---but this shall only urge our' gushing souls to yield proportionately of their renewed efforts to the Lord, to the church universal. and to a dying world; even as water pressed from without rises bu the more within. Above all the noun tain pre-sure, of our obligations to God' even our own 'God; 'to Christ and to Him crucified;i and to the personal and eocial blessings of the Holy .Spirit and 'his influences, shall urge our little. streams of the 'vater of life to flow forth';. until every wvilderness atnd desolate place withilaour reach (atnd wvhat extent of .the world's wvil derness, wisely :considered 'is' not within oor reach ?) 'shall he -glad'-.even at thiu passing calamity of division ; 'andt the'des erts of the unconverted human nature 're joice and blossorr as the rose." By order of-the Convention. WM. IB. JOHNSON. D.

Why is it that young men will close -their eyes to facts, and desert ot her respectable pursuits to choose a life of such almost certain poverty' and dependence? It' is because they =are averse to' honest labor, or because-they court the kind of quasi respectability which a professional position entitles thetm to in society-? If either, they are not to-fie V envied in their lean and beggarly copdi lion-their fancied aristocacy-their pre fessional. torpidity. We have at this moment in our eye two men -who' com-. titeoced their career in life dootemporane ously. 'The one, of brilliant powers, of estimable character; of rich and respecta ble connexions. The. other, of'moderato endowments and pretensious, the son-ofa poor widow.'

The diff'ereice in theircircumstan ces so far as' ht maniy"cen discern, is attributable'solely to the difference in their :chice of pursuits. - I'be one was iranmed' to industry and frugality while-the other,. compelled to keep up appearances in gen reel circles, was forced t6 the hazards of the game, and .finally ruined The-case here menti'ohed' is but one ofthe rmany which every. reflecting' man'e experience will attest as being only too common an the land. :We'allude to it'not for the pur-. pose of reflecting upot either.of the learn ed professions, whose members generally are entitled to great respect o account of both their. intellectual and moral attain ments ; it is .referrcd' :o only''for thd'pu. pose of co'rrecting that perverted ipublic' taste which is at present driving hundreds' of our young men to destruction, through the high way of the professions - - .In ur.own city, how few yduth, com-' paratively, 'direact their' auention to the nehlanic and oiher similar pursuits?
