Out your sermons, you must SoC rInCe souls.
The long and the short o$ il is, Mr.. Chairman, we
want out in the West good practical cofnmon
men, who adapt themselves to the wants of the
people when they settle down among em. Ifthere's
nothing but bacon and hard cider for em 10 eat they
must eat il without making mouths at it, II they can
get nothing but log hut to hys in, they must hang
up their hat, and try TO be happy. (Greaa laughter
Tbey nsrst saw Lord w hat suiu SHAVE m to do.
lfa raw Kentuckian was to come east and to
ry he does at home, you'd think 1t very strange
So do we think of some of your upstarts from the
East. Some of them come and think that the hull
western country must be ruled down, and cut and
squared 10 suit all the notions they picked in Col
lege. They come West. and thinlthey know exact
ly what we want done. and that only they knew how
to fix us of. Well, it's no go, SIR, for sach
They can't travel with Us, no how. They'd better
just to the top of the Allegheny mountains, look
at the great west, then turn round, and come home

:. Besides this sir, don't want covetous men. We
want men Of seli-denial men who" don't want fine
wine fine horses, nor fine large salaries. We
want preach hers who can live economically, travel
by night and by day, and all night ard all day, if
cessary; who can fast and pray, and preach any
where and every where. Men who will I've in log
huts and eat bread, and dress like the old Buck
eyes, and Hoosers. Men who don't want fools to
puff them up for their genius, their talented
mons, and fine speeches, and accomplished manners
Such men are worthless as parsons to preach the
gospel tOa sensible population like ours We want
men who will be satisfied at receiving the thanks of
the hearts from these they have done good to-
Moreover, we want men free from prejudice,
! DigWrv, ana sectafianlsm we've haf HSntiny
enoagh oat there. And old Satan out work
enough in that way without any civil wars or duels
in our own ranks. We want men who love the gos-
pei, and who will preach it torthe love ofis.
There is great mistake entertained by many
about the scdnts the West It's mistake in the
use of the word We have houses and lands, and
ladies, and corn, and all the luxurious of life -
Ii is desires that Is meant, when our tcantS are
spoken of We desire salvation. Look at the rich
fields of men and women-they ripe, ready for
! the harvest-gve us the men to go into them, and
they'd open their arms, and their hearts, and give
them work enough To do as long they live
We've no prejudice against the East. We're not
savages. You've sent the vanguard of the army;
now we want the main body; and we mast have it.
The west will soon send the largest number of men,
bcrs to Congress-the west will soon possess the
seat of ernment-the west will soon decide who
is to be President-and the west will soon regulate
the whole country, Give us help, then. There is
a loud call for help! And from the time that the
first gilds the eastern hills in Maine, till
il sinks behind the mountains OF the west let it
shine upon none but Christians, and they who do
this shall shine the stars forever and ever.
The Rev. Hubbard Winslow OF Boston, then Of
fered the following resolution
"Resoired That, as the preaching of the gospel
by qualified men who have themselves experiences
its rcgcnerating grace, is divine institution indis
pensabe in the worlds salvation, therefore il is
the duty of the American church, while laboring 10
evangelize the heather, to see that the Christian
ministry is also fully sustained in country.
Mr.. Winslow said, that il was imperative to
preach the gospel, for by that means the world was
men and women good. And the preachers must
have sufficient nelligenc to grapple with scentic
infides. We have reached that point in the fight,
when must either gain the victory or run away.
But let us if we die on the spot, like Wolfe, on the
heights of Abraham, know that il is the enemy that
is compelled TO run off, and that We triumph in
death
The Rev. T. Brainard of Philadelphia gave the
following -
RrsoivED-That while we give thanks to God
for his blessing upon the efforts of this Society in
past time, would be deeply sensible of our entire
dependence for all future success, upon the opera
tons of the Holy Spirit Of God.
The Rev. DIR. Peters seconded il in good speech,
and the meeting adjsurned with singing and prayer.

Philippe.
The Honorable Paul Nethuen, a 6ne young
man, full Of blood and beef, has gone South,
where, it is likely, he will ge; into scrape about

/ knowledge Of pugilism. He belongs, in Lon
dom to that highly cultivated and tual cotrts
