THE oLD AND New SCOOP. ASSEMBLIES.
The roll ofeach Assembly and part of
their proceedings appear in the last New
Yrok Observer. By comparison Of The
rolls il appears that there are l43 members
in The Old School Assembly, and but 80
in the New-and that 33 Of the SO are from
what are known as the excluded Synods
that in the Old School Assembly there
are IL toifimissionsers from The slave
holding States, and in the New Scool As.
sembly but S.; from Virginia 4, and I
from Tennessee. In the proceedings of
the Old School Assembly moi the slightest
allusion is made to the subject of slavery
lin those Of the New, resolutions memo
rials and petitions on that subject, from a
dozen of their Presbyteries, gave rise 10
exciting and prorracted discussions. in the
report Of which Mr.. Leach from Virginia
is said to have assured The Assembly, that
.'ifthey continued 10 agitate The subjecr
here, Mason aud Dixon's line must divide
the Church, ITO which Mr.. Wells from
one of the excluded Synods is said 10 have
responded that 'ihs had Ho wish 10 make
any threats; hut he knew the North and
West, and if this Assembly did not take
ground on this subject, and speak out
against the Sin of slavehoIding, he knew
Presbyteries that would not be represented
here again." Wha, the result will Le is
yet unknown. 1t would not be surprising
If it should be the means of a division
among themselves. From these facts, the
southern portion of our Church will find
reason for gratitude, that they are sepera-
led from those who delight in assailing our
civil Inslitulinns. They have adjoured to
meet in three years.

BY P. F. l..
The IMMORTALITY OF TIE SOUL.
IF you assert that n,an is merely corporeal,
you say that he is merely sensual
From this idea il follows, that the brute
possesses intelligence superior to ours;
for the sehses of many animals are more
perfect than those Of man. This sinsle
objection overlhrows the system OF the
malerialists. Every thing does not de-
pend upon the senses, because those of
animals do not place ,hetft above us;
and ifevery thing does not depend up
on the senses, there is then, something
in man, which belongs neither I'd sonse,
nor 10 matter. How sublime is thai be-
ing who in the midst OF causes of de-
structiou, without power to arrest the
effects by il produced-himself au in
strument Of destruction, anticipates eter-
nifty, and raises to heaven, that thought
which can never die
How deeply. is thought impressed on
the brow of man! His,aspect has some
thing imposing, and sublime, which
speaks of his futurity. lie is not a ma
chine framed merely for dealh, which
can love with such a depth bf passion,
crealc with such strength of intellect,
and command with such degree OF
power! His old age even announces
thai heaven awaits him, Oh The borders
Of the tomb, glithpses of his grandeur are
revealed, and It is there, that all his vir-
tues are displayed. 1t seems that the
presence of an aged man. does not affect
us so much with profolitlu emotion Of
sadness, as with holy reverence; be-
cause some thing within us, teaches US.
that the farther he is removed ftoit1 Us,
the more nearly he approaches immor.

THE BREAD TAX.
We are the children Of the soil,
And from IFS produce should be fed:
We never will object to toll
But give lis bread.
God says that all, in sweat Of brow,
Shall make the earth unfold he store:
He does not teach the rich man how
To starvc the poor.
Our fathers fortheir country's veal,
Have OIL the field Of battle stood:
IT'S hard 10 think their sons sholad feel
The want Of food.
We cavil not that others have
Far more than can their need suffice:
We only for our labor crave
Its lowest price.
1e bid us yield becoming awe
To government for common goodl
But how can we respect law

Oh! do but think what justice cries!
What charity demands! and then,
Come lecture on the. social ties

And from its produce should be fed,
We never will object to toll
But give us bread.

The members of the Board of Trustees
for this Institution will take notice, that
their semi-annual meeting was appointed
to take place, at the Institution, Saturday
before the 1st Lords day in July next.
A crisis has arrived in the history of this
Institution upon which is depegdent its
life or death. An increase of zeal and
union of effort may secure its permanence;
or a little more sleep, little more sIum-
ber, will make certain lis desolation. Let
those therefore (of the Board) who wish
and pray for its success, come up to Tho
help Of the Lord, and thereby Prove the
sincerity Of their prayers. And let those
who are indifferent as to results, remain
at home, pray. and sleep on: or come up
and beg leave Of absence before their work
is half finished. AS the Convention at
their last annual meeting, elected a new
