principles, and the enthusiasm ivi'h
which their ministers propagate their
tenets, gave a certain eclat to their ex
ertions and a new air to the occupati
ons of the city. The Association met
pn Friday night, the 12th, and dissol
ved on Monday night, 9 o’clock. A
bout 800 stranrrvrs are estimated to
have been present—the ordained and
licensed preachers between 30 and 46,
of whom six or seveu came from the
other Association districts.
There were no proceedings of a ge
neral nature, conducted under the aus
pices of this meeting. On Sunday
lorenoon, the preaching was carried
on at the Capitol, whither flowed a tido
of population, which the Hall of th»
House of Delegate*could not contain
—and at the Baptist and Msthodifct
meeting Houses—by different minis
ters, who interchanged in the after-*,
noon. A singular degree ofharmony
is said to have prevailed v
the “ lovers of piety j” Baptists and ^
Methodius. It was pleasing to seer '
this spectacle of concord among them. <*'
14 The Methodists, (said a distinguish
ed Baptist) acted on this occasion a
liberal and friendly part, not only in
furnishing their meeting house from
first to list, but in attending the meet
ings at the different places, and in join
ing with apparent cordiality in the re
ligious exercises—for which the As*,
sociation expressed their thauks.”
This Association is called the Do
ver Association—th^re are in this
district 37 church* s and 9628 members,
as may he seen by reference to Sem
ple’s History of the Virginia Baptists,”*
p. 90-91—a work lately published, and
containing a mine of Baptismal infor
mation, couched in the clearest Sc sim
plest stvle.
The government of the Baptist
Church is extremely simple and equal.
There are 15 whole Associations in
-he state, besides four others which
extend into other states. Each one
has a constitution independent of the
rest. The government both of the asso
ciations, the churches, and, indeed, <.f
the whole society in Virginia, and
throughout the world, isupinently re
ublican; for the decisions arc always
made by the majority. They are all
in a perfect equality, except so far as
hey may be distinguished by their ta
lents, their enthusiasm, and their ser
vices. There are no dignitaries a
mong their ministers.
'The purpose of the association is,
to advise the churches in all intricate
cases of discipline ; to preserve **n u
niformity of sentiments and principles j
o cultivate an acquaintance between
the churches and their members; and
to supply vacant churches by the ap
pointment ol neighboring pastors to at
tend them at stated periods. Accord
ing to the Dover constitution, each
church can send 3 delegates and may
send le*»8. They are generally select
ed by the votes of the members of the
chu ch, and receive no pecuniary com
pensation for their services.
Besides these Associations, there is
a more general Convention or General
Meeting ol Correspondence, which has
been on foot for a few years, and in
tended to knit the several Associations
together. It has not, however,yet re
ceived the sauction of all these bodies
in Virginia.
The whole number of Baptists in
mis state, is computed by Mr. Semple
it 31,052.
There was a period in this state when
he Baptists and other Dissenters were
persecuted, and a particular church
was favored and est tblished by the
law. But the revolution of America
over-threw the despotism of the church
-«3 well as that, of the state—as our go.
V- rnrpvnt is independent of G. Bri
tain, so religion is independent of our
govc nment. Universal Toleration is
»siablished by our constitution and
laws, as well as by the feelings of the
people. We have arrived at that hap
py summit, which had been viewed by
the sages of Europe, as a iheorrti
cal Elysium, rather to be desired than
enjoyed ; where every man is free to
follow the dictates of his own consci
ence.—We have solved the problem,
which ha l been so long agitated in iha
old n# rid—we have shewn how much
h ppioras and harmony spring from
rel gi.,us Toleration.—When will the
