Some of the acts of the General Assembly ' 0 of the Presbyterian church have been noticed ^ by most of the secular newspapers and great- J ly misunderstood in some plapes. We there- c fore extract below for the information cf our j readers a part of an address by that body to p their brethren of other Christian denomina- fi tions, in explanation of their proceedings. d As the great truths of the gospel lie at || the foundation of all Christian hope, as well as the puriiy and prosperity of the church, Qj we felt ourselves bound to direct early j and peculiary solemn attention to those doe. j ;i< trinal errors, which, there was but too much j evidence, had gained an alarming preva!- j ' nnce in some ofourjudicatories. The advocutcs of these errors, on their first appearance,were cautious Ac reserved,alleging that i tj they differed in words only from the doc- j trim s as staled in our public standards. ^ ' * t?/-k?- rv /?Ar? V tTV S^OU, IIOWCVClj lii^'V Utjjau iv> lull- | tend that their opinions were really new,: j i and were a substantial and important im. j j,| provemcnt of the old creed of the church ; 'j and at length, that revivals of religion could not be hoped for, and that the souls of men must be destroyed, if the old doctrines con- ^ tinued to be preached. The errors thus nj promulgcn] were by no means of that tloubtful or unimportant character which i n( seems to he assigned to them by some of the professed friends of oithodoxy. You j ^ will see by their published acts, that some ^ of them airect the very foundation of tic system of gospel truth, and that they all hear relations to the gospel plan of very ^ serious and omtnious import. Surely, doctrines which go to the formal or virtual do- ^ nial of our covenant relation to Adam: 7 n i the imtive and total depravity of man ; the entire inability of the sinm* to recover him. ^ self from rebellion and corruption ; the na? ^ ture and source of a regeneration; and j our justification solely on account of the imputed righteousness of the Redeemer, cannot, upon any just principle, be regarded as " minor errors." They form in fact ^ " another gospeland it is impossible for those who faithfully adhere to our public {|( standards, to walk with those who adopt such opinions, with either comfort or confi- (>1 deuce. b( It cannot !>c denied, indeed, that those | cr who adopted and preached these opinions,' cz at the same time declared their readiness j is! to subscribe our Confession of Faith, and j or actually professed their assent to it in the j nc usual form, witliout apparent scruple. This, j hz - *i? . u: j i in tact, was one 01 me mosi revoiung mvi iu alarming characteristics of their position, w They declared that in doing this, they only ac adopted the confession u for substance" m and by no means intended to receive the ; lo whole system which it contained. Upon ! w this principle, we had good evidence that iri a number of Presbyteries, in the ordina. ta lion and reception of ministers and other 01 church officers, avowedly and habitually n< acted. And hence it has not been uncotn- p< mon for the members of sue!) Presbyteries fe publicly and formally to repudiate some of j se the important doctrines of the formulary I cl which they had thus subscribed; and even j ec in a few extraordinary cases, to hold up ; st the sys'em of truth which it contains, as bi an abomination as a system wlu'ch it al were to he " wished had never had an ex*, so istence." No wonder that men feeling ni and acting thus, should have been found, | 01 in some instances, substituting entirely dif. I n( nfpc?inn<; nf faith in nlace of that i et IVlV'llt VVI'?\ WW..W w ? which is contained in our constitution. Who n( can doubt that such a method of subscrib. a\ ing to articles of faith is immoral in princi- be pie; that it is adapted to defeat the great o\ purpse of adopting confessions; and that, to if persisted in, it could not fail to open the fo door of our church wider and wider to fe the in* reduction of the most radical and ra pestiferious heresies, which would speedily in destroy her character as an evangelical lei body ? jo \Y as it possible for us to doubt or hesi. ^ tate as to vUr duty, when such errors were PL ^I'Jciitiy gaining ground amongst us, and 01 when it was in our power judicially to con. 01 demn them ? Errors which, ever since the nc days of the Apostles, have been pronounced by the true church to be dangerous corruptions of gospel truth. We are con- t0 scious that in pronouncing the errors in question to be unscriptural, radical, and j P1 highly dangerous, we are actuated by no j fp feelings of narrow party zeal; but by a firm jin and growing persuasion that such errors j Pr cannot fail, in their ultimate effect, to sub. j ~ ' /? i ! th vert the foundation 01 lainsutui uupc, uuu i ? destroy the souls of men. As watchmen I at on tlie walls of Zion, we should be unfaith-1 ful to the trust reposed in us, were we not j rc to cry aloud, and proclaim a solemn warn-1 J1 ing against opinions so corrupt and delu- 13 sive. * sf SI In the course of our attempts at reform, ^ we have thought it our duty to annul fhe j plan of union between the Presby.erian and Congregational churches in the new _ , [j] settlements, formed in 1801,.and evidently intended as a temporary system, to meet a temporary exigency. By that plan, Con- j ?~/.hnrchps were brought into i ? jjITgaiiuiioi complete union with the Presbyterian jj( chnrch ; and their delegates, without hriving adopted our public standards, were introduted int? our judicatories, and vested C( with the power of giving authoritive and in some cases decisive votes, on the most jr important questions of doctrine and discip. ^ line; and thus, in reality, of governing our ! church. And it has happened, in tact, in j "u a number of instances, that some of tlic | tj most important decisions, in their bearing j on the truth & order of our body, have been i decided by the votes of those who had not ^ subscribed to our ecclesiastical constitution, ^ and stood aloof themselves from its author- ^ ity. Thus Congregationalists were found, in ellect, to control the Presbyterian church; and to prohibit her carrying into execution ? our appropriate system, while we had no f more authority over them than they chose ^ to recognize. h It is impossible to contemplate tin's plan | li of union now, without perceiving that :t is > g most unnutUM;?that it fcas rrot a shadow' a f foundation in the Presbyterian church ; nd that it is adapted to be deeply injurious t its influence oil us. It is but just, ineed, to say, that it was first proposed and ommcnced on our part; and that it was ictatcd by that spirit of unsuspecting sirnlicify and fraternal confidence, which iresaw no evil. Its mischiefs gradually isciosed themselves;?and it was not un1 they had taken wide and deep root, that icy began to attract the attention and waken the fears of the friends of truth, and f Presbyterian order. It was more and lore perceived, net only that this system, 5 before remarked, was most unequal, as , in fact, conceded the right of governing 5 to those over whom we could exercise ."> controlling power; but that its etfect mst be, slowly, but inevitably, to subvert ie order aud discipline of the Presbyterian lurch. Surely, no impartial judge can amc us for wishing this mischievous sysm rescinded, or for annulling it when we vU T, ,'c rlnf. tn ourselves. ,u iiiv aw 10 ^ ... jwever, to say, that this measure was not thcr hastily conceived, or abruptly cxecu1. The union in question has been, tor any years, regarded, by the great body 'the Presbyterian church, as perhaps the ost fertile source of the difficulties existg among us; especially, when viewed >t merely as a violation of our constitution id invasion of our order, but as grievously nised by those who have taken advantage 'it, in a manner not intended by its origi il framcrs, to disseminate their pernicious rors. Viewing the subject in this light, e General Assembly of 1835 respectfujlv 3qusted the General Asst.iation of Con cticut to consent that the plan of union in tesrion should be annulled. Having now aited two additional years in vain for any vorable action in the case 011 the part of ir brethren of Connecticut, and having itnessed with the deepest sorrow the everowing evils of this relation; we have felt, tine? cnlomnlv nn linnn to nhro. ite the whole plan, and to pet an end, as r as in us lay, to the destructive effects liich have so long resulted from its opera>ns. If it were obviously equitable and impornt that the plan of union alluded to should > annulled, it was, in our view, no less juitabie and important that the ccclesiastid bodies to which that plan had gi/en ex. ence, and which were animated and gov. nod by its spirit, should be declared to be ) longer connected with our church. It is been, indeed, painful to the Assembly, declare bodies in which were brethren, hose piety we cannot question, and whose tivity in extending the visible church we y .1 ust regard witn approDauon, to oe no ngcr connected with ties body. But wo ere shut up to this painful duly. Being regularly brought into our church, and re. ining all the feelings and habits growing it of their original introduction, we could )t hope that they would walk together in ;ace with us, so long as the points of difrence between us were so many and so rious. Although the creation of more lurches on the plan of union was made to ;ase by the previous act of abrogation; ill, as all must grant that the act which ought them in was wholly unconstitution. ; and as, if this were the case, the act it. If was, of course, void from the bcglnng, and all the acts and bodies growing it of it ccuallv void :?we have deemed it >cessary to declare the brethren connect. 1 with those judicatories no longer contested with the Presbyierian church. Fully vare of the painfulness of this decision to )th parties, in order to avoid it, wo made .'crtures to the brethren who were opposed us in sentiment and in policy; which had r their object an amicable separation; of. ring them, in order to bring such a sepation, what we deemed equitable, and even diligent terms. These terms will be irned from the correspondence of the int committee, appointed to negotiate on e subject, which has been already made iblic. Our brethren saw fit to decline ir proposal, and chose rather to abide the iforcing of the constitution. They can>t complain of our course, when the only ternative was the ruin of the church, or e restoration of our form of government its legitimate and uniform reign. One of the most formidable evils of the esent crisis is, the wide spread and ever stless spiri* of radicalism, manifest both the church unci in the state. Its leading incipie, every where, seems to be, to ? .?11 Ua rlnof \j irrlift* Anlt? in vt'i an uiuci iu uuoi* u?i^ ? ? e power to destroy, it has driven its deep ritations through the bosom of our beved church. Amidst the multiplied and vol ting forms in which it has appeared, is always animated by one principle. It ever the same leveling, revolutionary >irit, and tends to the same ruinous redts. It has, in succession, driven to ctrcmc fanaticism the great cause of Reivals of religion, of Temperance, and of ic Rights of man. It has aimed to translute our pure faith into distructive heresy: ur scriptural order into confusion and lisrulc. It has croweded many of our iiurches with ignorant zealots and unholy icmbers; driven our pastors from their ocks; and with strange fire consumed the eritage of the Lord, filling our churches ith confusion, ^ and our judicatories with Dnfiict; making our venerated name and cloved institutions, so far as its fearful i ifluence extends, a hissing and a by-word L'fore the Ameracnn people; and even ireatening the dissolution of our national nion, as well as the dismemberment of ie Presbyterian church. While we have endeavored to take, as ur Master enabled us, decisive measures >r securing, under the divine blessing, the lture purity and peace of our body, we 'ould openly admit, dear brethren, that tere orthodoxy, and regular scriptural overnmen', ought not to b? considered by ny church as the only, or even the hie/, objects of her regard. Let it never e forgotten, that truth, whether in respect > doctrine or discipline, :s in order to god. ness; and that the real prosperity and ior y orue v church consists in thenrcsence cd power of the Hot Spirit, enlightening ; reviving, and sanctifying iicr members, and I > adding to their numbers daily of such as ! j shall be saved. We would, therefore, now / I that the adorable Head of the church has ; enabled us in some measure to remove ? from our body the most prominent sources ": i of division and strife, humble ourselves ^ before God, and call upon all our brethren, ( everywhere, with us lo seek and pray g without ceasing, for those reviving and "j converting influences of the Holy Spirit, f? which alone can render any church what it " ought to be?a real blessing to the world, ? and a nursery for heaven. And while we f j earnestly desire and implore this blessing, let jus remember the great importance ofdis! tinguishing between genuine revivals of \ | religion and those which are spurious and I I Tlia r. nrA* flip nr/vlurf nf I ; muuiicuu JL Jivtuivt u? v v..w v.MV. . i gospel truth, impressed on the heart and conscience by the Holy Spirit of God.? The latter are mere excitements of natural i feeling, produced either by error, or some J other form of human machinery. In pro- a portion as th'c former prevail, the church is ^ prosperous and happy. The latter, how- p I ever arrogant in claim, or plausible in ap- a pearance, are only flitted to send a blight on the garden of the Lord, and to deceive and destroy the souls of men. We fear that : not a little of that which has assumed the | precious name of Revivals, in various parts m I of our bounds, is of this latter description. " | This lamentable fact, however, creates no r ! prejudice in our minds against genuine re>1 vivais of religion. It rather excites us to a | desire and long for them with more ardor; | to pray for them with more importunity; to i promote them with more care, by an edifying example; and guard against all coun- 4 ! fnrfnifc with morp nnlitrhtened vigilance. i ? - r I Tiic Hartford Watchman, itself a Congre-1 i gatianal paper, makes the following among remarks upon the proceedings above refered to. If Presbycrians feci that they can go forward most comfortably by themselves, on ] the ground of their denominational princi. ^ cipies,they have a perfect right to say so, 6c [ we see not why others should complain.? t I Do not all denominations of Christians n I claim this privilege ? And we do hope r I there is irood sense cnougli in the Congre gational churches not to make themselves ridiculous in this matter. For what would they have ? If they wish to be Presbyterians in good faith, why not enter by the proper door, and be sucli in a regular way ?? | If they do not wish to be Presbyterians, but choose to remain Congregationalists, why do they wish to borrow the name of their 1 neighbors, or force themselves upon a community to which they are not accepta- ; * ble ? If they wish to retain Congregation- \ c al principles, what have they to do with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian j church, any more than with the General Conference of the Methodist church ? The cose of Abraham and Lot appears i to us be a fair illustration of the present J separation, at least in several respects, jc ! Thnuo nntrinrrlis to have sonarated I 1 I"...-.? - - - I 2 amicably, but the motive was the greater promotion ofpeace. They could not con- c tinuelonger together without continual dan. r i | gerof strife. But supposing that Lot had f1 I refused to go, and insisted upon it that he j ! wouid at all hazards continue in the family 3 I of Abraham, on the ground of some old 1 compromise, which might have done well ? enough in the day of it, but was, in other a circuit)stances, found to work mischief;? and Abraham had felt himself constrain- n ed to declare publicly that he and Lot h were two persons with different names, and 8 that he chose, from prudential considera- J tions, to take care of his own affairs in his own way?would it have been proper for c Lot to talk about guillotine being appli- c cd to him, or the amputating knife, or to call Abraham a persecutor, who was governed only by lust of domination. But after all the matters and things which ^ come up in connexion with this subject to p divert attention from the main point, it is v not to be forgotten or concealed, that the cause of all these difficulties must be found in those errors in doctrine and practice which have for sometime been spreading a. mong the Congregationalists and which render them suspicious and dangerous to all ? their neighbors. n Hats. * JUST received by tiic steamer Oseola, six Cases White and Black Summer Hats. t 12 Dozen White and Black Wool Hats, and 30 doz.

Sir:?The Managers of the Charleston Biblo Jocioty, have appointed tho undersigned, a comlitlcc to prepare and send forth a Circular, inviirg the several Bible Societies in the State to nite with them by their delegates, in a Convcnion, to be held at Columbia, on Tuesday the 3th )cceinber 1837. The objects to be secured by such a Convenion. are to ascertain what lias boen done in this itate for the last four or five years in giving ireulation to the Bible; what facts may be coljcted, which will throw light upon our yet re. naming destitutions; whether it is expedient, to ngagc simultaneously in rcsupplying the State ritli the Word of Life upon a plan similar to hat which was agreed upon in Columbia, several ears ago; and if so, by what means and by what gencios the plan can be most fully and thorughly, and jcdiciously carried into effect, so hat our entire reading population, have free accss to copies of the Holy Scriptures in their wn possession. Aud finally to deliberate upon ny other subject connected with the diffusion f tho Bible, whether at homo or aDroaa, in christian or in heathen lands. Tho general fact is known, that districts ?f ountry, which have boon thoroughly supplied ino year have contained many destitute families ic next; and what is true of one district is true >f all the rest, as the same causes operate to ereite tho want, viz: the formation of new families, he immigration of others, and the wearing out of he Bibles themselves* In most cases where a e-supply haslieen undertaken, after an interval >f four or five years, the destitution has been bund full half as great as at the period of the iriginal supply, and in some cases greater, from lie causes already assigned. We allude to this act because it was ono of the principal motives1 vhich induced the Managers of the Charleston Bible Society to propose a convention. The Committee regard it as superfluous to urge he subject upon your consideration by any fur.her remarks, as all the reasons for a Convention, vhich we could submit, must be farmiliar to your nind. All that we have so solicit, is, that you svould call the attention of your society to the proposition, that should they deem it expedient, ielegates may be appointed to represent your So:iety in the Convention. We have the honor to subscribe ourselves, in name, and by the appointment of the Managers af the Charleston Bible Society your fellow laborers in the Biblo cause. B. MANLY. B. GILDERSLEEVE.
