f the moral condition of the Macks? . ri he religious denominations, which cm. hrace these forty thousand black members, t are engaged earnestly, if not to the extent of their ability, to bring the saving blessings * of the Gospel"to the souls of all these " heathen among ourselves." And are you not ready to sav:?" on? brethren, and may God bless you- We u*ould rejoice to help you if we 'could; but if we cannot iielp voir, we will "let you alone?" For tho Chcraw* Gazette. Dn. McLean : As I understand you propose to publish that part of my correspondence with the Rev. Silas McKeen, which relates to the religious statistics of our slave population, n!!otv mc to render that statement still nior% complete by a little alteration. I It is much more difficult to ascertain sectional, than aggregate, numbers, and especially where, as in this case, the State lines differ from the boundaries of ecclesiastical Iiodies. In the Methodist Church, for instance, the South Carolina Conference, so called, includes more than 10,000 members in North Carolina, and on the other hand several thousands of the Holstcin conference reside in S. Carolina. These circumstances led to amistakoin assigning 21,000 instead of about 37,000 members to the Methodist church in tins State. Oi this number about 20,000 are blacks, instead of 71 nno oc st.ited before. And the aggre Jll/)VVV/ gate number of communicants in the four principal protestant denominations is 63,. 000, instead of 07,000. The returns from tl;e Episcopal Churches are very complete. They have 2,320 members, of whom 607 are Macks, according to the record of their annua! convention in February last. The aggregate of communicants in the Presbyterian churches is about 6000. I believe I am fairly within the truth when I set down 3000 cf these to the black population. The aggregate of members in the Bap. list Chicrchcs, is 36,000. The returns of two Associations, the only ones in which 1 1 : .-I.. mc numoer 01 uiacits is s jpaiai^v ^ia^u, I find 2,707 whites and 4,177 Slacks.? From these facts, and some opinions ex. pressed by intelligent ministers in that church? I have supposed I come near the truth when I .assign 20,000 to the black population in the Baptist communion. I have neglected to state the number in the Lutheran Church, in a few Methodist <'Lurches not connected with the Conference, j'.nd some other fragments of other denom. inatiocs, in regard to which I have no reports and no moans of accurate knowledge at hand. The correction here made increases in the aggregate the proportion of church members in the whole population; and while it shows a majority of blacks in the v churches, equalizes the proportion of the blacks and whites. ?3,000 communicants is cue seventh of 5S1,000, the whole population of the State. With a population of 310,000, the blacks have about 45,000 communicants, exactly one seventh of the whole black population. With a popularlon of 266,000, the whites have 38,000 communicants, exactly one seventh of the whole white population. It is believed that the addition of all the evangelical churches not here included, while it would increase the aggregate number, would produce very little alteration in the proportion of blacks and whites. Jt is to be considered, however, that I have taken the population of the State from the census of 1630, while the other calcuCm m rr>nnvt?r ron. iviwuijs uavt uluii uiwuw ?iu?? v|.w.? ?? dercd by the churches within the present ijvar. liany judicious men suppose tha the immense emigration to the west for the last five years, and which has embraced many of our large planters, has reduced the slave population at the present time to a numerical equality with the whites. If this . be a correct supposition, and the natural increase of the whites be supposed to be equal to the emigration, we have a white population still of 266,000, and a black population of the same number, making an ag. grcgate of 532,000 instead of 5S1,000. On this calculation, which may be very near the truth, we are reduced to the conclusion that erne seventh of the white population and one sixth of the blacks are compnunicants. It will be noticed that I have proceeded in these calculations on the supposition that ail the black communicants arc slaves. They arc so, almost without ex. ccption, so far as I know. AVc so rarely find a free man of color in the church, that it is believed all necessary accuracy docs not require the separate consideration of them in these estimates. The additional facts and alteration here furnished, do not alter the general state of my argument. I introduce them merely for tlic sake of correctness* and to shew the grounds on which my statements were for. mcd. My principal object was to &rni$ht in the religious static s*of oat slave popu. ration, a striking evidence of their superior, jty in pioral character an^ privilege, to the free negroes of the non-slaveholdiug States, and thereby correct some errors, vliscb have k had a leading influence to awaken the sympathies of some at the north in favor of the abolitionists and abolitionismI love, with a filial affection, my own na. tive New England; and in every land, I am by sentiment and choice as well as by birth.a Yankee. A residenf-m South Carolina for eight rears, ftx&vy necessity and then from choice, I know bf no State, except mv native State, which shares so largely in my sympathies and cherished love. I While I have proved largely its liberality, j in sickness and misfortune, I have been in- j fluenccd rather by a sense of justice than ! gratitude to disabuse iny brethren in Maine I ' 1 ' <? ., J in regard to ttie actual conaiuon 01 the slaves of this State; and my best reward is that my effort has not been entirely fruitless. Fects arc stubborn things, and although the spirit of fanaticism may be still strong, or, honest men will feel their influence and yield to their controlling power. Respectfully, yours, R. W. BAILEY. Chcraw, Doc. 31, 1833. In a conversation which followed Mr. Bailey's handing us tho above, he casually mentioned that i the object of introducing tho personal remarks at i tho close, was to meet attempts made by the tho- i litionists to prejudice tho public mind at the J North against his letters, and lessen their influ. i enco, by alleging that ho has hocome Southern- i izcil by a rcsidenco in S. Carolina. We learn from tho Wljjg, of Cincinnati, that a Mr. McGrow, of that city, has taken out a patent for an invention to propel boats, cars on rail roads, Ac., l?y moans of condensed air. Tho air is'to be condensed by water power in suitable vessels, or reservoirs, which are then to be put on board the boat or other locomotive, and tho condensed air to bo used in generating the necessary motion. This is about tho amount of the account published. A meeting of the Whig members of tho Lo. gislaturc of N.
