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.

DECLARATION
Of the People of Texas, in General Convention
Assembled.
Whereas General Antonio Lopez de j
Santa Ana, and other military chieftains,
have by force of arms, overthrown the fedoral
ins itutions of Mexico, and dissolved
the social compact which existed between {
Texas and the members of the Mexican ,
confederacy, now the good people of Texas
availing themselves of their natural rights*
SOLEMNLY DECLARE.
1st. That they have taken up arms in tie- ]
fence of their rights and liberties, which j
were threatened by the encroachments of *
military despots, and in defence of the re- (
publican principles of the federal constitu- i
tiou of Mexico of 1824.
2d. That Texas is no longer morally or i
civilly bound by the compact of union; yet
stimulated by the generosity and sym- ,
pathy common to a free people, they offer ?
their support and assistance to such of the
members of the Mexican confederacy, as '
will take up arms against military despotism.
Cd. That they do not acknowledge that
the present authorities of the nominal Mex
lean republic have the right to govern witn- >
in the limits of Texas. <
4th. That they will not cease to carry on
war against the said authorities whilst their (
troops arc within the limits of Texas. <
5. That they hold it to bo their right during
the disorganization of the federal system,
and the reign of despotism, to with. ,
draw from the union, to establish an inde- '
pendent government, or to adopt such measures
as they may deem best calculated to 1
protect their rights and liberties: hut that 1
they will continue faithful to the Mexican
government, so long as that nation is governed
by the constitution and laws that
were formed for the government of the po- <
litical association. J
