Many persons being desirous of seeing Dr. Bollman's letter at full length, we have given it in this days paper—although we think it not altogether correct to publish any thing so materially connected with a trial that is now pending.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE AURORA.
SIR—So much has been said at my disclosures to the executive, respecting the pretended conspiracy of col. Burr, and they have recently been brought into notice by the counsel for the prosecution against him, in so extraordinary and unsearchable a manner, that I think it incumbent on me, to make a few observations on that subject, with a view of removing erroneous impressions which otherwise might prevail with regard to my character.
A few days after my arrival at New Orleans, in September last, letters were received in town from gen. Wilkinson then on the Sabine river, stating that hostilities with the Spaniards were unavoidable, that his next letter would bring the details of the first engagement, and that he hoped to give a good account of the day.
In consequence of this information, which occasioned considerable alarm, about three hundred men were dispatched from New Orleans, to proceed by land to the Sabine, to reinforce gen. Wilkinson. Some artillery was sent off by water to ascend the Red river for the same purpose, and two gun-boats were ordered up the Mississippi, to be ready for an attack on Baton Rouge.
By what magic gen. Wilkinson, whose letter in so positive a manner, had announced hostilities as unavoidable, wrought such a change in the mind of the Spanish commander, who was at the head of fifteen hundred men, and actually invaded the territory of the United States, as to make him subscribe to terms of accommodation which gen. Wilkinson alone can explain:—The fact is, that to the astonishment of all the world, such an accommodation did take place, and that gen. Wilkinson suddenly arrived at New Orleans, where he came to use his own phrase, "to play the devil!"
When in the month of December, I was seized and arrested by order of gen. Wilkinson, but in the name of the United States, and was forcibly transported, with New Orleans under the impression that col. Burr, in consequence of the transmitted information to him of the hostile complexion of affairs on the frontiers, and of the supposed certainty of war, might find himself with a large body of volunteers, determined to push on towards Mexico, and whom perhaps it would be difficult to divert from that purpose notwithstanding the unexpected pacific arrangements between the Spanish commander and gen. Wilkinson.
When I arrived at Charleston, Annapolis, and Washington, all the newspapers represented col. Burr as being at the head of two thousand men, and they were ringing at the same time with reports of his pretended treason.
These circumstances occasioned in my mind great indignation, with regard to the reports just mentioned, and great solicitude lest gen. Wilkinson's conduct, and col. Burr's situation might lead to occurrences which col. Burr would deprecate, and which involuntarily would put him in the wrong.
I therefore requested an interview
with the President of the United States, for two decided objects. 1. To remove from his mind the false impressions he had received with regard to treason. 2. To endeavour to convince him that the interests of the United States would be best consulted by going to war with Spain, and giving countenance to the expedition which col. Burr had planned.
It appeared to me, that this stopping to do some good, could do no harm, and in my opinion, ought to be attempted.
I saw the President, together with Mr. Madison, and having first been questioned on that point, declared to the former that I had no personal motives for this interview, spoke to them to the effect just mentioned.
The day after the interview, I received the following note from the President, the original of which, in his own hand writing now remains in my possession.
"The communications which doctor Bollman made yesterday to Thomas Jefferson were certainly interesting; but they were too much for his memory. From their complexion and tendency he presumes that doctor Bollman would have no objection to commit them to writing, in all the details into which he went yesterday, and such others as he may have then omitted. Thomas Jefferson giving him his word of honor that they never shall be used, against himself, and that the paper shall never get out of his hand."
January 22, 1807.
I immediately complied with the President's request, and considering the communication, in conformity to the tenor of his note, as strictly confidential, I had no motive to be unusually guarded or to weigh every expression with more than ordinary care.
The paper, containing nearly twenty pages, was hardly finished when I immediately sent it to the President. I borrowed it from him some time afterwards when in prison, in order to take a copy, and then returned it.
The whole of it goes to the two points above mentioned, viz. to disprove treason, and to shew the expediency of war. It can give no other ideas to an unbiased reader, unless one or two expressions, improperly used, and for which allowance ought to be made, that the English is not my native language, are singled out, are considered disconnectedly with what precedes and follows, and construed in a hostile manner.
The President had given his word and honour that this paper should not be used against myself; yet on it was predicated the pretended necessity of a pardon for my personal safety. The attorney for the district in open court, when offering me the patent of pardon, referred to it. Nay, when I indignantly refused that pardon, he reminded me of the horrors of an ignominious fate, in order, if possible to change my determination. It is a paper not used against me when, on account of its contents, misunderstood. I am thus assailed with the tender of a badge of infamy? Is life in Mr. Jefferson's opinion all, and character and reputation, which alone can render it desirable, nothing? The great inquest of the nation, after hearing a variety of testimony, and particularly that of gen. Wilkinson, by an opinion nearly unanimous on my subject have absolved me from guilt? No indictment has been preferred against me, though they have indicted various gentlemen in different parts of the United States. Was it then becoming the first magistrate of the Union, whom I had approached with some degree of confidence, who stood pledged not to use that confidence against myself, and with regard to whom neither my conduct nor language have ever been unfriendly—was it becoming him in a measure to forestall the opinion of the grand jury and to stigmatize me as a pardoned criminal?
The paper was never to go out of the President's hands—but it is now in the hands of the attorney for the Virginia district. On the 23d of June, an occurrence of which the prints have taken no notice—the grand jury came into court. Their foreman stated that one of the witnesses had mentioned to him an important paper, written by another witness, which was in the possession of Mr. Hay, the attorney, and of which they wished the delivery. Mr. Hay

and this referred to my letter to the President which was in his possession, but that he did not consider himself warranted to give it to the grand jury. He also declared it to be his firm persuasion, that the paper was written in my own hand writing; it has further appeared, that he had occasioned Gen. Wilkinson to read it. Through him he had brought what is falsely stated to be its contents insidiously before the grand jury. Gen. Wilkinson, when before that body and of course on his oath, did assert that he saw the paper in Mr. Hay's hands; that it was my hand writing and my signature!
This measure, however, of the attorney, has not proved injurious to col. Burr. The contents of my letter even communicated to the grand jury through such a channel of corruption and impurity, have had no influence on their decision. It is well understood that their indictment has arisen from a misconstruction of the law of treason. From 20 to 50 armed men had assembled on Blennerhasset's island. They demeaned themselves peaceably but embarked in three boats and descended the river towards New Orleans. They were with others, to proceed all the way, either in case of certain contingent and probable events, in order to be equipped for a further expedition, but were to stop at the Washita, to effect a settlement, should those events not take place. This fact and the false supposition that New Orleans for the purpose mentioned, was to be occupied by force, and was to be held by force, until the party were ready for their enterprise; these are the grounds which, in their opinion, have warranted the indictment. A close investigation of the law and of the fact before a petty jury, with the advantage of testimony from both sides, will, ere long, correct that opinion, will remove every doubt with regard to col. Burr's patriotism and justify his views!
I have nothing to add except that, notwithstanding the ill treatment I have on this occasion received from the President of the United States, I should have borne making these observations, if I had not been forced to it by considerations of self defence. I am inclined to believe that Mr. Jefferson has not been actuated by any ill will towards me. His pardon was not intended to affect my character; he did not mean to forfeit his word of honor by transmitting my letter to him to Mr. Hay, but the injury I have sustained remains the same. The history of the pardon will have flown over Europe, and the impression of treachery to a friend—this more detestable, more odious crime than any infraction of the laws of the country, because essentially fraught with turpitude, will be blended with my name, in the minds of many who may never see this letter. And if all this injury could be inflicted by Mr. Jefferson without ill will, merely from want of consideration under the disturbing influence of passion and resentment against col. Burr, notwithstanding his mature age, and the dignity of his station—it will amount to strong proof at least, that I, in my humble sphere, and with a more youthful imagination, may have become enamoured with the beautiful prospect of the emancipation of an enslaved kingdom—a project which Mr. Jefferson himself approved of, and connived at when planned, not by col. Burr, but by Miranda—and that I may have engaged in it without meaning any harm to the United States, or to their President.
But not only have I been injured by Mr. Jefferson himself, his agents and confidants, from the secretary of state to his private secretary, and from him, still downwards to the attorney who represents him in the prosecution. Richmond, have on more than one occasion manifested hostility, and have been guilty towards me of glaring infractions of every rule of propriety and decorum. The secretary of state has detained letters directed to me, and has only given them up after I had accidentally discovered the fact, and when I urged them for their delivery. The private secretary has several times betrayed an unbecoming temper, and the attorney in particular, sheltering himself behind his privileges as counsel, and taking advantage of the peculiar delicacy of my situation at this moment, has treated me in open court with the most unprovoked, and therefore most abominable indecency. If this was mistaken zeal, arising from an extreme want of discernment and sound policy—if it was unauthorized by the President, and if it is therefore not to be attributed to him—it will strongly remind him at least, that if unfortunately some wild heads, lately associated with col. Burr, should have blended their
own subornations, preposterous and apparently treasonable ideas, with his tenacious views, their guilt ought not rashly to be transferred to their principal.
Even the papers in the interest of government propagate on my subject the most injurious falsehood. Before the pardon came out, and before it was known, that the President of the United States, in transmitting my letter to him to Mr. Hay, had violated his word of honor, no invectives appeared against me. But since the measure of the pardon has proved abortive and ridiculous, and since the fact of his breach of his word of honor can no longer be denied; their tone is changed. As usual I am abused, not for the wrong I did, but for the wrong which has been committed upon me. They insinuate among other things, that at Washington I had obtained promises from Mr. Jefferson and had agreed with him for a pardon; that I refused it at Richmond, in order to have a pretext of withholding testimony on the ground that it would criminate myself, though it is well known that such promise, such agreement, never took place, and that before the grand jury, during an examination of upwards of two hours, I answered, without a single exception, every question that was asked me. Mr. Wm. Duane, moreover says, that I am indebted for my life to the benevolence of Mr. Jefferson. Sixteen of the best characters of Virginia, after hearing evidence decided that there is no ground of accusation against me; but the editor of the Aurora, without having any evidence, decides that I am indebted for my life to Mr. Jefferson's benevolence!!!
When party spirit and passion go so far, it would be improper to remain silent, and should what I have said, in my defence, operate to the prejudice of Mr. Jefferson, or wound his feelings, it is not my fault.
ERICK BOLLMAN.
LONDON, May 18.
The report which was spread yesterday of an order which it was pretended had been given by the admiralty to seize all the American vessels which were in our ports, was without foundation. But we believe that instructions have been given to our cruisers to detain hereafter such American vessels as shall not be destined for England, or for the ports of which the British government has not expressly interdicted the entry to these vessels by these instructions.
Further, the government of the U. States appears to yield at this moment, and to show amicably rather than hostile dispositions. President Jefferson has lately issued a proclamation, prolonging the importation of British goods, to the second Monday in December next. The treaty concluded between Great Britain and the United States, have been sent back by the American government, to be revised, and submitted to a new discussion; and there is great appearance that the difficulties will be amicably adjusted between the two countries.
June 2.
A Tonnigen mail arrived on Saturday morning, with letters and papers from Hamburg and Altona, to the 24th inst. The rumour of a negotiation for a general peace, under the mediation of Austria, gains ground daily. A paragraph, dated Banks of the Maine, May 15th, says, "The public journals state, upon the authority of accounts from Vienna, that proposals for peace have already reached Vienna and Buda—immediately after the arrival of which, a courier was sent off to London with these proposals, to invite the English government to accede to them; but many persons doubt that they will lead to a successful issue." An article, dated Vienna, May 13, adds, "We are here positively assured, that France and Russia have accepted the mediation of our court, upon condition, however, that there shall be no armistice during the course of the negotiations." The present appearance of affairs upon the continent corresponds with these accounts; for though an armistice be expressly prohibited, it is natural that the chance of peace, held out by existing negotiation, should restrain the ardor for the final appeal to a general action; and there does not appear any other satisfactory cause for the long pause that has taken place in the military operations in Poland, upon a large scale.
ELBING, May 23.
Every one expects to see the campaign open immediately after the taking of Dantzig. The French army is superb, full of ardor, and animated with the best spirit. There are scarcely any sick, and it has been experienced that military o-
perations strengthen the health of our soldiers. In the state of force and vigor, and especially in the state of confidence in which the grand army is, it is capable of sustaining any fatigues. It is impatient to finish the war with the Russians; and it will assuredly not lose any opportunity of beating them.
The ground begins to wear every appearance of spring; vegetation goes on much quicker in this country than in France.
NEW-YORK, July 25.
At a late hour last night, the ship Walker, Clarke, arrived at this port in 11 days from Halifax, and Capt. C. obligingly furnished the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser with a Halifax paper of the 7th inst. containing several interesting articles relative to the late affair with the U. S. frigate Chesapeake, and the following order of admiral Berkeley.
BY THE HONORABLE GEORGE GRANFIELD BERKELEY, Vice-Admiral of the White, and Commander in Chief of his majesty's ships and vessels employed in the river St. Lawrence, along the coast of Nova Scotia, the Islands of St. John and Cape Breton, the Bay of Fundy, and at, and about, the Island of Bermuda, or Somers Islands.
Whereas many seamen, subjects of his Britannic majesty and serving in his majesty's ships and vessels, as per margin,* while at anchor in the Chesapeake, deserted and entered on board the U. S. frigate the Chesapeake, and openly paraded the streets of Norfolk, in sight of their officers under the American flag, protected by the magistrates of the town, and the recruiting officer belonging to the above mentioned American frigate; which magistrates and naval officer, refused giving them up, although demanded by his Britannic majesty's consul, as well as the captains of the ships from which the said men had deserted; the captains and commanders of his majesty's ships and vessels under my command, are therefore, hereby required and directed, in case of meeting with the American frigate, Chesapeake, at sea, and without the limits of the U. S. to show to the captain of her, this order, and to require to search his ship or the deserters from the before mentioned ships, and to proceed and search for the same—and if a similar demand should be made by the Americans, he is permitted to search for deserters from their service, according to the customs and usage of civilized nations, on terms of peace and amity with each other.
Given under my hand, at Halifax, Nova Scotia, the 1st day of June, 1807.
Signed, G. C. BERKELEY.

Boston, July 23.
By captain Woodward, who arrived yesterday from Nantes, Paris papers to the 15th of June were received. They contain bulletins of the grand army to No. 77; the last of which gives an account of the surrender of Dantzig. There were great rejoicings among the French on account of the fall of the important fortress; and the loss must depress the spirits of the Russians and Prussians. No general battle had taken place, but the fate of Dantzig will hasten that or negotiations; but of the latter we perceive nothing which bears an official mark. The capitulation of Neiss, besieged by Jerome Bonaparte, is reported. There are many accounts from Turkey, which relate several successes obtained over the Russians. The reports are various and rather confused. It is said the British meet with unexpected difficulties in Egypt. The conscription in France for 1803, is represented as complete, and the conscripts on their march. The emperor still takes unwearied pains to strengthen his grand army. Accounts from London in these papers to June 4.
By this arrival we learn that—
The Russians have retreated from Guirdson to Moldavia, after losing 1100 killed, and having 900 taken prisoners by the Turks.
The French fleet has sailed from Toulon, and is cruising in the Mediterranean, and is expected to raise the blockade of Venice.
A Paris paper officially announces the capitulation of the fortress of Neiss.
Intelligence from Janina of the 25th of April states that the Turks have gained a signal victory over the Russian navy in the Black sea.
A Paris article of June 5th, states that the British army in Egypt had been beaten by the Turks, and had been so hard pressed, that Gen. Frazer had dispatched three frigates successively to the governor of Malta to demand succors.
Norfolk, July 27.
We have nothing to inform our distant readers, respecting the operations of the British ships in the bay; a part of them occasionally go out and return again every day. They have not made any attempt to land, or taken any steps respecting the five persons detained.—Commodore Sir Thomas Hardy, who now commands, behaves as far as we can learn with great politeness to the vessels going out and coming in, giving them no interruption.
It is to be regretted that Commodore Hardy had not commanded the commencement of this affair. We think he would never have written such a letter as that of Commodore Douglas, which has been productive of indignation scarcely short of that produced by the original outrage.
The Revenge, government schooner, is in Hampton Roads, and proceeds immediately to England with the communication from the executive to our ministers in London, touching the affair of the Chesapeake. She may be expected to arrive in England about the first of September; before which, the British government and people will not only have received an account of the transaction, but of the sentiments which it has excited in the United States, together with the President's proclamation. The first account of this affair will probably reach England about the first of August, by two ships that left this place the 27th and 28th of June, by each of which we forwarded to our correspondents our extra sheet of the 24th of June, besides which we know that an unusual number of the Ledger went by the same vessel. The proclamation went from here on the 9th or 10th of July, by two vessels from England. The minds of the government and of the British nation will therefore be prepared before the Revenge arrives; the effects produced in England we shall discover and possibly feel, about the middle of September. If the British government is determined to sustain admiral Berkeley, orders will be given to seize and capture our vessels without exception; if otherwise, they will not be interrupted. The English government will perceive that war is inevitable, if it avows the principle of searching our national ships, and act accordingly.
CHILLICOTHE, July 23.
Extract of a letter from Lexington, (K.) to a gentleman of this town, dated July 15.
"Mr. Blennerhasset was arrested in this place yesterday, and Thomas Todd, circuit judge of the United States, has directed the marshal to take him on to the city of Richmond, in Virginia, where he has been indicted for high treason. He is confined in the jail of this place, until the marshal is ready to proceed with him."
MARTINSBURG, August 7.
On Saturday last, the company of Independent Blues, commanded by Capt. James Faulkner, turned out unanimously as volunteers, and were joined by a number of young men who did not belong to the company; we understand that they intend to offer their services to government, in order to assist in defending their country against foreign aggression. The troop of horse commanded by Capt. Joel Ward, on the same day also turned out as volunteers, for the same laudable purpose. These corps are composed principally of young men; and are well disciplined; the alacrity with which they turned out, does them credit, and is, we think, a presage that our country, whilst defended by such troops, will have nothing to fear from any nation.
The inhabitants of almost every city and town throughout the United States, have entered into spirited resolutions relative to the late British outrage, and volunteer corps are forming in every quarter of the union, for the purpose of protecting our country against future aggression. These resolutions are couch-

ed in terms highly patriotic, and do honour to the citizens of a free but insulted nation.
"Old School" came too late to hand to appear in this day's paper; he shall be attended to next week.
On Sunday last a gentleman arrived from the Mediterranean, with dispatches for the secretaries of state and the navy. The contents of these dispatches have not yet transpired. The gentleman who was the bearer of them brings, we are told, the intelligence, that the British are capturing, indiscriminately, all American vessels in the Mediterranean, and sending them into Malta.

By the President, JAMES MADISON, Secretary of State.
Extract of a letter from Burlington, Vermont, dated July 12.
A letter has been received from a gentleman now in Quebec, by his friend in this vicinity, dated July 4, in which he expresses much anxiety to close his business, and leave the place, as the public mind was then much agitated there in expectation of a rupture with the United States.
It is reported that General Jonathan Dayton, who was lately indicted for treason by the grand jury at Richmond, has been admitted to bail through the interference of President Jefferson in his behalf. [Tren. Fed.]
A BRIEF STATEMENT
Of the conduct of the Ketocoton-Baptist Association of Churches, after a revocation of nine years material difference between the Church at Mill-Creek, Berkeley County, in Virginia; constituted from the result of such differences, in the year of our Lord 1792. Addressed by said Church at Opeckon, to all Churches of Christ, unto whom it may appear, or concern.
This said Association refused repeatedly, during this period, to take up the case of said Church at Opeckon, agreeable to their addresses on the occasion; but was at length prevailed on, by a repeated address from the Philadelphia Association; and proceeded, as appears by their minutes; and the process of their committee, herein justly recited as followeth:
Association held at Backlick-Meeting-House, Fairfax County, Virginia, August 1800; "A letter from Elder, Samuel Jones, of Pennsylvania, in behalf of the Philadelphia Association, respecting the people calling themselves the Opquian Church, as also a letter from themselves, were each of them read, and referred till to-morrow."
"5. The Association took up the business respecting the people calling themselves the Opquian Church, and agreeably to their request, and by consent of the Church at Mill-Creek, (communicated to the association by Elder, John Hutchinson) the Association nominated the following persons, to wit: Elders, Jeremiah Moore, John Munroe, Christopher Collins,
Brother John Dillard, and the Clerk, together with as many more of the ministers, and lay-members from the different Churches, as can be prevailed upon to attend as a committee to hear, and if practicable, settle the differences which have for a number of years existed between those people and the said Church at Mill-Creek; who are to meet for said purpose at Garrard's Town, in Berkeley County, on Saturday preceding the third Lord's day in next month, at 10 o'clock."
This committee, nominated, attended according to appointment (except John Dillard) and, after a precaution, or urging it upon the differing parties particularly, to abide by their determinations, prior to their attempts, in terminating the contrast, immediately proceeded to avoid an equitable investigation of the conduct of the Church at Mill-Creek, toward the Church at Opeckon, in the resolution of those differences which do consist of most grievous injuries; being, with espousing in the support of heretical preaching, with outrageous slander, with bitter revilings, with opprobrious appellations; of which the following is a copy of a clause quoted from their correspondence, to the Ketocoton-Association, held at Long-Branch in Fauquier County, in 1792; as followeth, (to wit) "Since our last, have been obliged for the vindication of truth, to cut off some members, who by art and sophistry, has misled some few others."
See further also, a collected catalogue of opprobrious appellations, taken from their publication by Richard Bowen of Winchester, in Frederick County, in 1792, against an individual of the Church at Opeckon, as followeth: (to wit) "Thou daring Impostor, infernal Fiend, accuser of the Brethren, and father of lies. Thou Korah-like, gangrenous limb, insolent Usurper, furious Demagogue, Bawler, and stern tormentor. Thou Hypocrite with a lying tongue. Voice of slander, Gog-magog, Belzebub, scurrilous-invidious-snarler, and heady high-minded Bigot. Thou riotous-sculler, King of Babylon, great-red-Dragon, and Bishop of anti-christian-hierarchy. Thou destroyer, fraudulent-leader, Novice, and ravening-Wolf, not sparing the Flock. Thou schismatic, malevolent, defamatory, and blasphemous Libeller". There were five particularly, who as witnesses, have affixed their names to that atrocious piece of railing; which also contains most injurious, and contrary representations.
The following scripture quoted as applicable to this injurious case.
See Math. v. 11. 12. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake:
Rejoice, and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
See Exodus xxiii. 1. 2. Thou shalt not raise a false report: put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wreat judgment.
The said committee, did also, further resort to conduct, which, in the nature of it, was in reality, to enforce it upon the Church at Opeckon to fellowship the following injurious cases.
1st. They must without the equity of an investigation, fellowship the Church at Mill-Creek, as they were, or had persisted, in thus proving themselves to be their bitterest enemies, and hinderers, in the sacred cause of our Lord Jesus Christ; and likewise in the support of heretical-preaching, without a decision; whether right or wrong?
2d. They must fellowship the Church at Mill-Creek, in accusing them with disorder, in their organization, and progress in the sacred worship of God: Although they were put forth in public ministration of divine-worship; and ordained Elders by order of the Church at Mill-Creek; prior to the discord, accruing from such preaching.
3d. They must fellowship said committee, in an attempt of infringing upon their indispensable rights, which Christ has procured inviolably for every individual of his members, and that by judging, condemning, and attempting absolutely to destroy, or nullify their constitution, object their conscientious acts of obedience, to the commands of Christ, and prohibit, or deny, their right of action in the spirit and faith of Christ; and, at the same instant, in such a dispensation of contrarieties, give unto them the right-hand of fellowship, as in unity of
the spirit and faith of Christ. 4th. They must fellowship said committee, in an attempt of depriving them of the right, or power of fellowship; by enjoining subordination, in a re-examination of the Christian experience in faith, and, a repetition of the same administration of Gospel-order, to the same individuals, that were deemed as believers: as under the superior power and regularity, of the Church at Mill-Creek; but, at the same time avoiding regular measures, as a faithful tribunal, respecting the heresy, in contradiction, to the positive teachings of Christ; and the injurious slander, with revilings with opprobrious appellations. Which must evidently appear repugnant to the principles of Christianity, or rules of regular Churches of Christ. See the following clauses Quoted of their rules of government, or organization, in confession of Faith; as followeth (to wit) 1st. "Every particular congregational-Church incorporated by, and according to the institution of Christ in the Gospel, and duly organized according to the pattern of the primitive Churches, hath sufficient power from Christ to call and ordain it's own Officers, so that no man or set of men have authority to choose Officers for them, or impose any Officers on them, without their previous knowledge and voluntary consent, Acts. vi. 3. Deacons are to be chosen by the multitude, Acts. xiv. 23. Elders were ordained in every Church by election, or suffrage of the Church, and every particular Church, as such, assembled with her proper Elders, hath sufficient power to receive members, Acts. ii. 41. Romans xiv. 1. 2d. "And such particular congregational Churches, constituted and organized according to the mind of Christ revealed in the new Testament, are all equal in power and dignity, and we read of no disparity between them, or subordination among them, that should make a difference between the Acts of their mutual communion, so as the acts of one Church should be acts of authority, and the acts of others, should be acts of obedience or subjection; although they may vastly differ in gifts abilities and usefulness." See Also respecting Church-censure, in irreconcilable cases of difference, (to wit) "But if any Church becomes heretical in principles, or idolatrous in worship, or immoral in life, it is lawful for persons, after they have discharged their conscience and duty in reproving and bearing witness against such gross defections to depart, See 11 Cor. vi. 17, 18." It is observed by the preceding Quotation of the minutes of said Association, their Committee nominated, on this occasion, was to attend with a view to hear, and if practicable, settle the differences which had existed for many years between those people, and the said Church at Mill-Creek; but it is a certainty they loathed to hear impartially on the cases in difference; & did resort to measures utterly impracticable, or averse to the constitutional rules of regular Churches of Christ, which is evidently manifested by the above Quotation.
An appendix in a few resolves: 1st. Resolved It is not according to the order of regular Churches of Christ, to execute their decrees in government, by injurious slander, with outrageous revilings, with opprobrious appellations. 2d. They are not regular Churches of Christ, which appears evidently not faithful Tribunals, in all important cases of difference. 3d. That in all such cases of difference, as proves a bar of union, or fellowship; which may necessitate the parties at variance to apply to an Association, or other Churches for assistance in promoting the truths of Christ, or terminating such differences; that the assistance nominated on such solemn occasions, cannot with propriety attempt to restore to unity, or fellowship, without particular respect to the principles concurring with the gospel of Christ. Which are as followeth: 1st. A minute and impartial investigation of the things in difference. 2d. Requiring the party erring, to make sincere confessions, and thereby retrieve the characters of the injured, by an impartial decision. 3d. With equal power and dignity, in the unalienable rights, procured by Christ for every individual of his members, as the right of conscience in speech, in suffrage, in fellowship, and action in the spirit and faith of Christ—And not as subordinates, or, as with an implicit faith, as under a Rabbinical, or Lordly authority. Signed in behalf of the Church, August the 3rd, 1807. GEORGE TABB.
