A.SUGGESTION.

We commend the following thoughts
to the serious consideration of our bre-
thrcn generally, and to those elected to
attend the Baltimore Convention particu-
larly. 1t will be seen that they come
from a source which entities them to par
ticular respect
University OF ALABAMA, Oct. 90, 1s40.
My Dear Father Mercer.-The pre-
sent aspect Of the Abolition question threa-
tens to disturb the union and cooperation
of the Baptists in this country. 1t is evil
dent, from mum erous indications that par
ties on this question will have to assume
more definite and palpable relations, at
the next meeting Of the General Conven-
ton, than ever. heretofore; and cannot
avoid looking to the.result with the deep
est concern; 1t is chiefly important to US,
that in taking up our position, (Which we
must do at that time) we should select a
ground on which all may unite, and from
which, we, shall not need to remove on
any account; whether for the sake Of
right, or expedicncy-of selfdefence, of
conscience, or of Christian union. l
need not express to you the reasons why
think that such propositions, as have yet
appeared at the South, for the adjust
ment of this delicate and serious question,
do not properly meet the case. My opin-
ions may be crude and faulty, and pecu-
liar to myself; but it is Of unspeakable
importance, in my view, that before the
Delegates to the next Triennial Convention
shall have come together, those who are
from the South should meet. and confer,
and take their ground deliberately and in
the fear of God, by common consent.
In conversation between bro. Dagg
and myself the other day, it was agreed

to make the suggestion TO- several Of our

The suggestion, in form, would be this:
That all those Delegates to the next

THE CATTLE SHOW.

The exhibition of Stock for the Prem
iums Of the State Agricultural Society of
South Carolina was held in the yard in
the rear Of the Stale House on Wednes-
dav last. For commencement, we had
quite respectable show, and the spirit
which prevailed was quite cheering TO the
friends ofthe Society. As we have here
tofore failed in our attempts to get up Ag-
eicultural Societies, some doubt existed as
DO whether our present eeffnrt would be
successful, but the most:1ukewarm and
skeptical are now convinced that our So
cicly will "go ahead" The spirit which
existed on the occasion of this our FIRST ex-
hibition is an earnest Of future success,
and we now are confident that our people
will be Jealous in the good cause. Some
very fine specimens of Cattle here presen-
ted, and the few Hogs which were exhibi.
ted, attracted much notice. The enormous
Boar Of the Woburn Stock, bred by Mr.
Haskell, was All object Of much attention,
and ,he beautiful form of the Berkshire
pigs gave much satisfaction. Several fine
Chinese, or Guinea Sows were exhibited
but that species is not popular, in conse-
quence Of their not being good breeders
and not attaining the size whichis charac-
teristic of the others.
We regret there were so few of the Cat.
tie Of pure blood, and hope next year to
sec a larger number.
By resolution of the Society, all per.
sons contending for premiums will be re.
