CRCIULi B LETTER. To TE Cutaci'Cs OF THE E DuEFIFL BAPTIST CHURcii Sendeth Christian Salutation. TBELOVE: BRETKnES t We gladly avail ourselves of the op pottunity afforded by our annual meet ing in Association, to address you upon a subject which merits your serious at tention. And we uflectionately entreat you to bear with us if the light in which it ispt esen:ed may bean unusual one one condemnatory too of our practice tnd opposed to our prejudice as a de nomination of Christians;. especially if it appear upon impartial examination that we " write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment, which ye had from the beginning." Much has been said and written of late upon the uses, privileges, and du its which the institution of the Sabbath btings with it: and we have reason to hope that no little practical good has been accomplished by the agitation of the subject. As it would far exceed the limits we propose assigning to this letter, to enter into an examination of all the purposes designed by this institution,, we, wil continb ourstlvesto' lit of the duty and expediency 4f uneetingfogetheIr on the first day of eeryrcee, for the'wor ship of God, at our respective Church es. St. Paul exhotts the Hebrew breth ren " not to forsake the assembling of themselves together, as the manner of some" was even in his day. That this relates to the meeting together of Chris tians, upon all convenient occasions, but pa;ticularly upon the liist day of the week, will appear from the following considerations : 1st. Time of tcctiuag. It might seem unnecessary at this latb date to attempt to establish this point. But we do it because we fear there are too many who -do not feel the full force of truth in this particular instance. That this was the uniform practice of the primitive Christians will Le evident, if we read the 7th v. and 20th ch. of Acts. No tice with what an air of usualness the Evangelist wr ites of' the disciples coming together to break bread on " the fitst 'day of the wek." Again: their "stead fast continuance in the Apostle's doc .ine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread antd in prayee s" mentioned Acts 2nd chapter 42d1 verse, serves to nmas k amon'g other things their strict atdher ice in; point of time -to the injunction of the A postles in .,relation to this partic tuar. Noiw icte ask, what time can be mecant other thbbntkat mentioned in the for mer kNuotation? - Not only do our'own writers boar tes timony to the truth of. our position, but even persecuting princes addgeo it "cn firmation strong as proofof hol&'y iiti" rliny, Rohnan Governor of the prov' ince of Bithiinia, where th~e .chr isd-an re ligion liad taken deep root, writing to the Emperor Trajan, 'upon the subject of its extirpation inf'orm~s him " that he found nothing to allege against the chris tians, but their obstinacy in their su perstition, and that it, was theit custom to meet together''on a stated day, be, fore it was light."~And thaitl1is set day is the first day of 'the wveek, we are led .to infer from the .previous practice of christians taken inconnection with that whichdas since obtained almost uni versally in the Churchies, accorsling, to the testimony df'tho. christian writers, beginning wth Jtustin',Martyr, (A.D, 144) and descending to the, .present time. Howv can the uniformity agd~lng .coniinuaunce of this practice beuccounted -for, eivcept upon she suppositionahat ail serious christians have been persuaded that ighiyated in divine injunction, and tii4 it is their duty to observe 'it si We- hve been-forced by the oatar* of theo casp to nrs u agmn in a few ivords, b preyisi ou lagiethe 2d. The ri~psf #ig.. :&s ro, g...,t., desAign which shnold be had in view in " assembling together" we entertain no doubt that you are con vinced that it is correctly expressed above, viz : " to worship God." 3rd. The place of Meeting. We are not always such strenuous advocates of literal adherence to inferences deri ved from the face of a'law as to believe it a transgression of the law when the spirit is carried -out. And here, alt though we could demonstrate from the very words of Paul that some partitu, lar-place of worship is implied to which resort should be had every Sabbath that he-could not have addressed them the hexhoriation without supposing they had a common and usual place of wor ship towhiich they are urged to resort ; and that consequeritly it is binding on us to assemble at what we term " our own Churches," we satisfy ourselves with ex, horting you "not to.forsake, &c." Carry out the spirit of this exhortation as -re gards the place. Let your consciences guide you and keep the glory of God constantly in view. But we cannot forbear mentionir~g that in the great majority of cases it is your duty to assemble at your own places of worship regularly ; and that the fol lowing are the only cases which we im agine can form exceptions. It may hap pen that two Churches are situated so closely to each other as to render con venient the attendance of the members of both upon either. Again: two Church es may unite for the purpose of giving adequate support to the ministry. But in these cases the twg Churches are virtually one, and attendance upon is both the duty of the members of both. We pause now to inquire what has been actually proved? How much ? and what bearing it has on the practice of too many of our Churches I Non it is generallyadmitted that Scrij turn example carries with it as niuch weight in deciding points of.doctrine as precept. And it should be so: for, in stances of a practice ~hich obtained among the Churches in the time of the Apostles iodsa tkoreiz dor..utebuke4 by them when duly informed of its exis tence, are instances of a practice di ivnely sanctioned, though the sanction be itself suppressed. Let us fear then brethren lest this method of reasoning carry with it a sword that shall pierce the very vitals of our practice in too many cases. We shall see. We are author ized to infer from what has been said above, that it is the duty of a!l christians to assemble together on the first day of the week for the worship of God-that the first day of the week is the time: not the first or other Lord's day of the month only. There is no mention ntade of the month here. Now we ask, how does this agree with our practice ? Do we reckon by days and weeks, or by weeks and months the -tines of our as sembling ? For our answer to this impor tant question, we appeal to your own knowledge of the facts of the case. Let us now attempt to answer briefly three plausible objections which may be urged against the practice of the duty under consideration; in doing which we hope to show tl.e expediency of its perform'nce. Objection 1st. " We have not a suli ciency of preachers." Titis is no objection,.itvwill readily be perceived to the measute 'proposed;~ however great an obstacle the scarcity of preachers imity present, to what now a-days we iinderstand. by "the wvorship of God." "Does not th3 objector make this duty consist in preaching and listen ing to prniachingi ?Yhierea's it is clear, .we pnt~grve to thfs phrase as compre (gasi~ve a signification as'the wvords wvhich compose it will allow. It is not restricted to the performance of one act, but of as nmany as the words " worship of God' den ofe. And whrit says thieiord of God upon this' point ? St. Paul subjoins to the prece quotad frequently in .this letter, "but exhorting one another." [Jebrew~ 10th chapte;, 25th, verse. What does this indicate but ihat exhorting one another" is a branch of divine worship1 The public worship of God can be conducted then without the presence of a minister of the Gospel. -It must he admitted that the ministry is the most efficient me ans of spreading the word but it is not th'e-only one. We fear there is too great a disposition to overlook the more silent branch of instrumentali ties-such as private mnembersas well a! areachers have to do with. WVe forbea: mentioning other parts of divine wvor ship; our only design being to show that it does 'not consist, only in preaching, May it not be that froni a noglect of the duty of "assembling together" i-gularly marny are "weak arnd sickly among m~ and 'many sidep," Suppose the primi tive christians had. with folded .arms a waited the arrivjfof,preacbers among them, it is crediole that suchi mighty re sunhsas we read of enntd have been a, chieved. Not: theyTelt deeply interest ed in the world's salvation. Each one armed himself for the warfare, each one moved on in its propar corse, and'col lecting fresh aid 'as he advanced, like an avalanche in its descent, they well nigh swept away the cottages of sin. the pa laces of corruption, and overwhelmed the kingdom of Satan. Yes, the spir if of God working through each and every disciple did these great things. Then let us no longer think we have done our duty after attending upon the preaching of the word every Lord's day ; even, much less after attending upon it once a month only: let us by assemnbling to gether on the first day of every week, endeavor to keep alive the flame- of christian love, to call forth the "gifts" among us, (be assured they are among us) anI send their possessors out when tried in Gospel form, with the Bible in hand and the tove of souls at heart to proclaim to others more destitute (he glad tidings of salvation." Such a course would, if pursued with christian spirit and in gospel (order do all that we have intimated and soon make this objection as groundless in appearance as it is in reality. Certain it is if there are any "gifts" among us they would be thus elicited. Hlow surprising it is that we should complain of scarcity of preachers, when we by our present conduct,neglect, discourage or forever conceal the gifts which we have I Objection 2n1. " We cannot support a minister in each Church." This too is exposed to the charge of misconception of the object we should have in view in meeting together. And we notice it si:np!y with the design of denying that each of our Churches as a general thing, is unable to support a minister. This of course rests-upon facts, and to them we appeal for the truth of our position. But grant we are too poor'to support a ninis er in each Church. All will:ad mit we dre ht too poor to do our.,-duty Now have we done this? Have oennet jogether God ? And have we seen that the Lord has failed to perform his part? To increase our stores ? To improve our temporal condition? and above all to 'enlarge our hearts, so that we may feel willing to contribute to the utmo:t ot our ability ? Then, and not till then. will this plea avail us any .thing. Ooje.ction 3rd. " Very few persons would meet with us on every Lo d's day,and much too few of that class whose benefit we would design." We ask who are these ? and would pause for a reply, did we not know, that the objector is laboring under a tdreadfi ignorance of the nature of his ou i case. Christians, true and genuine, are con vinced of their own lamentable :ack of holiness, which it is the principal design of our assembling together to promote. But we deny, that so few. persons would attend, if, as is proper,the custom should be held sacred, and viewed as binding upon all christians, and if the love of God and immor tat -souls glowed in out hearts, with all that warmth which the case demands and God enjoins. Various other objections may be ur ged, which can be repelled with great ease, but we chroose not to be burden some to you. In conclusion, wve ask you to weigh what we have advanced in thre balanices of Scripture. Try the course, we are convinced, thre Bible reconurends. Try it with faith in its efficacy, not wi ith a timed apprehension of its failure. Try it wiith a firm conviction thrat it is pro. per, that it is your dirty, and that Gud will bless you in it, though the bles sing tarry. See if it will not knit your hearts together as the heart of one man, if it will not be a touchstone of sinceri ya preventive of spiritual decay, and a remedy of numberless evils whic~h wve might point to, as existing in the very heart of too many Churches, and oppos, ing formidable barriers to thre spread of the Gpspeh. trethrre-n, farewell!

That South Carolina came into this Union a free and independent State, every one believes. Every one is conscious of the sacrifices she has ever mide fur our common Union; and while contemplating the shameless re turns she has received. and the reproaches with which she has been insuilted, we are all doubtless prepared, should such things continue, to resort to ,otne effectual mea sures of redress. It is fur that day of trial we would have you prepare our people not by inciting them to were paper re solves or windy gasconadIes about State Rights without any intention to maintain them ; but. by the enlightenment of our people to their true interest; by teaching them a nise husbandry of their resources; by a prompt anJ energetic exercise of those capacities of the Stares, which will m:ske her, what every truly inlependent State should be--industrious and produc tive in 4 griculture-active and enterpri sing'in Commerce-and busy and skillfud and wealth-making in AlanufJaclures. From the earliest period of our history to the prescnt time, the condition of :5. Carolina has been one of dependence. De pendence as a Colony, when the Lords Proprietors supplied her with the means of supporting her trade.; dependent, under the satme condition of thtings , while protected .hy the Entglish C rowtt ; andI still mo're de pendetnt, since Northertt labor and enter prise supply all the pritncipal w~ants of hter people. Reproachfully as it has beet) said of us, it is nevertheless true, that we nei ther eat, drink, sleep, ntor oven die, with out a shamef'ul depentdenco upon other .pieople. To prove that this assertion is no erzaggeration,. stand upon otto of -the w ~harves of' our tmetropolis, and behold a picture of our trade. Sotme ship approaches with the produce of other lands. South Carolinta owhs abundant caipittal, y'et that ship belongs to antother State, South -Carolina produces the best imber in the world, atnd .yet not a plank of that vessel is of hter torests.

South Carolina could fttrtnish them all The ship is now landing 'her rmerchhn diae. She tumbles out uputn our wvharves, bundlesof Nor thertn hay ; rolls from her deck Northe-rnl carts atnd drays to carry the hay; and Northiern horses to drag it. Northern osrlors followv with northern grain to feed the horses, with Northern harness to hitch them, and Northern whips to drive ihsmn open te hatches-there is Northern flour and hops and soda and salt to make bread.; but with northtern butter to butter it. Northern beef and beans, potatoes, cabbages, onions, and pork to-feed our people, an"'Northern drinkfibles 10 wash dorwn what they eat- Northern pans, ovengand roasters to Cook our food, with Northern knives and forks to cut it up. Northernt p~ckles atnd sauces, to tickle"our appetites, atd even Northern dentists, with Northern teeth, to enable us to chew our food. We sit down inl Northern chairs, to Northerntables, docked out with North ern plates, dishes and 'glass ware ; and when we get-up, call for our Northern hats, gloves and sticks; walk out over pavements made of Northern stone--foot ed in Northern boots, and clothed with Northern clothing. We return home at night bj the light of Northern lamps, to seep upon bedsteads with Northern bed ding. We eat, drink, and are merry at Northern labor; when sick, swallow Northern medicines; and when we die, are packed up in Northern coffins. put into graves dug with Northern spades, and have Northern tablets to tell where the only thing Southern in us lies. We know we will be told that though these various wants are not furnished by ourselves, we nevertheless raise that which enables us to procure them-else the Nor thern people would not supply us. We are as indisposed to deny the proposition, as we are to deprive the Northern people of the merit of becoming our masters, by the exercise of superior thrift, ingenuity and skill. We know these people are too wise to sow where there will be nothing to reap ; we moreover know that our Cotton and Rice enables us to supply our wants, and comforts and luxuries, and we know that a self-denying philosophy will say, rest satisfied here. What more do you want ? But, we are not satisfied. We lel the ambition of seeing our native State, rot less industrious or enterprising than others. We are emulous of seeing a competitor in the career of greatness, with our sister States. We look around us, and breathe an atmosphere not-less ea. lubrious than others are blessed with; we behold fields not less fertile, than else. where ; rivers not less navigable, water courses rtot less powerful, and harbore not less capacious than in most countries-we see Nature not less affluent, and Provi dence not less beuntiful, to us, than. to us, than to other people.; and seeing-.this, we feel, that only her citizens are back ward in doing that, for Carolina, which will raise her to a proper height.in the sbalo of States.

The crops about Pendleton are very itre.-Ws were forciibly struck by the improved condition of the lands, and the general attention which seems to have been paid to the culture of the Pea. On Mr. Cherry's farm, near Janeca, we noticed upland, we'thought worn Out years.ago, producing remarkably heavy crops ofcorn and peas. Its restoration we were told was mainly to he attributed to the Pea. We understand that Mr. Caihoun has paid great attention to the subject. and from experi; ments made, is satisfied that the Pea would be to the South, what the Clover is to the North. We have had fields pointed out to us which had been completely rca: tored in a few years, by being planted ii Peas, and the uroduct allowed to rot upon the ground. If the vines were turned under about the first of October, it would 'be tmore beneficial we are sure, than a Clover lay.
