FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 8.

Mr.. Claws LAND Bullion Tuesday ;,
December %, Mr.. Clay, in accordance to
previous notice, appeared in Senate and in
troduced a bill for the distribution Of the
avails arising from the sales of public
lands. The bill proposes to distribute the
proceeds that had accrued and were to
accrue, in the years 1888, "a. 50, SO, 81,
and conforms substantially to the bill which
had been offered by him in 1882, and pass
ed both Houses OF Congress and which
the President took the responsibility to
ceto. 1t provides in the first place, to al
low 10 per ct. among the seven new States,
in addition to the per cent already set
tied upon them by compact. After deduc
ting this Is per cent, then, the residue was
to be distributed among the "a States, ac-
cordlng to the federal population,
The nett amount arising from the sales
of public lands in 1898, was S5,96700o
In 1884, to 4,857,OOO
And in l835, taking the three
first quarters, with an estimate
of the last, the amount would be 10 ,222 900
Making in the aggregate, a SUN Of
S2l 100000 for three years; and this, he
proposed to distribute, and pay on the first
of May, 1885.
So that deducling from 2l,470,000
The proposed ) per cent 100000
There would remain SlG,435, 900
for distribution amongst all the States Of
the Union.
Mr.. Clay accompanied the introduction
Of this bill with short speech, in which
he recapltulates in few words the legisla.
tive history of the bill, and urges its pas,
sage with the ability and eloquence char
acteristlc o: great statesman. Throwing
aside all sectional and party feelings, he
steps forward boldly, and advocates meas
ure the proprIety and business Of which
must be nantes. to every unpreJudIced
mind. Under our present circumstances,
with no national debt and treasury burd-
ened by an excessive revenue, we believe,
a measure Of such manifest Importance
canno: meet with any formidable OPPOSITION.
Mr.. Calhoun introduced bill the same
day tor the distribution of the surplus rev.
enue. Let these two measure be adopted,
and all the revenue not needed to detray
the necessary expense of government be
distributed among the people of the States
for internal improvements, and the result
will be that while executive patronage will
be diminished and our elections prevented
from being corrupted by revenue spoils, our
nation will cotlnue to thrive and prosper,
and its people increase in happiness and
wealth.

On Wednesday the 9Th day of March
inst, brother John Baldwin was recognis-
ed as regular Baptist minister by an &C.
cIeslastlcal council convened at Plymouth
for that purpose.
Sermon on the occasion by br. J. NJ
Graves; charge by br. Daniel Packer -
hand OF fellowship presented by br. Davis !;
prayer and bcnediction by br. Baldwin.
Br. Baldwin has for number of years
been an ordained minister Of the FreeWiIl
Baptist connection. On associating with
number Of ministers ofanother denomin-
alton, in a protracted meeting, he was I'M
der the necessity of hearing a discourse
and address in favor of sprinkling for bap-
t1sm, and Of course in opposition TO the ex-
elusive immersion Of believers, as baptism.
His feelings were injured. He felt that
he ought not, could not, practically declare
his fellowship for their doctrine. He
saw, as he thought, the impropricty fas-
soclating with those at the table Of the
Lord, who were, in his estimation, unb1p-
TIED, and were also publicly opposing
the doctrine Of baptism as taught and
Practised by Christ and his apostles. At
ter painful deIiberation during a number
! Of months, he came to the decision tC
change his connection. He is cordially
embraced as brother and minister in oul
connection. We hope and pray that Coz
may make him a rich blessing to the
! church and to the souls ofsinners.

certain facts given in brother Merriam's
account Of the revival at Passumpsic.-
We refer TO the results Of personal efforts.
There is too little of This kind Of labor
A large proportion Of public exhortation
and public prayer, as we'll as public preach
ing, is lost upon sinners, from their uni
versal disposition to apply what they thus
hear, to any body else rather than to
themselves. What is handed out in
vague terms for every body, is, by almost
every body, applied to nobody. 1t is
generally tossed from the second person to
the third, by whom it is rarely received.
Unless they have a sense of their own
sinfulncss, sinners will seldom be reach
ed or disturbed by arms-length-preaching.
There is nothing like going to a man
a neigbbor-a friend, or a relative, and
laboring personally, face to face, and
heart to heart, for the salvation of the
soul. Here is one Of the distinctive vir-
tues Of proracted meetings, land Metho-
dist class-meetings are much adapted to
this end,l as they have commonly been
managed In these meetings, more than
in others, there has been, personal labor

prayer for sinners has been direct, for the
sinner who has been persuaded by direct,
personal appeals to throw himself into the
arms ofprayer, Such prayer takes hold
Of the sinner; and he allows himself to be
carried by It into the immediate presence
Of God with whom he finds himself to be
in personal controversy. If he can be
kept there long enough to learn his true
situation, he is very sure to give up his
rebellion and cast himself upon mercy.
The professor of religion who neglect<
