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 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.

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

L Circular prepared by direction of the Charles, j
ton Bible Society.
Charleston, May 1837.
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.

and continued as long as circumstances
tall require. Twelve numbers will make a
Diume, which may bo conveniently bound and
