CRAWFORD CouNrY.-We were mistaken, last week, in saving that we had, in recent number, published the proceedings of the Crawford Demo- cratic meeting. We had selected those proceedings for publication, and thought they had appeared in our columns. Through some unaccountabe inad- vertance they were omitted, and the omission was overlooked by us, until il mentioned by friend, on Monday last. We regret this; and trust that our friends. in Crawford, will ascribe it to any other cause than purpose, on our part, to disregard or neglect them. To make amends, as far as we cani for this omission, we make the following summary of those proceedings:
 The meeting was held in the Courthouse, at Van Buren, on Saturday the 2nd of March. Col. Jao & Roane presided, and ". J. Dupal Esq., was Se cretary. The preamble and resolutions were report ed by committee consisting of W. Reeves, E.. Rector, J A. Scott R. S. Gibson, J. Bryant J. Shan non, and T. c. Boyce. The 3rd Monday in April was recommended as the day for holding the State Convention. in Little Rock and one hundred dele gates were appointed to represent the Democracy of Crawford, in the Convention.

neither wisdom nor patriotism in it. Bul
notwithstanding this, hope and trnst Mr..
Polk will announce in his Inaugural, tina,
he is for a street revenue Tariff, aud resting
upon The principles of the Compromise Acl

The Enquirer adds.-We must initiate
our correspondent, at least in the frank
ness with which he expresses his sen,i-
ments-and, therefore, sny al once, that we
cordially second the proposition which he
makes. We trust that Mr.. Polk will come
out, with the spirit Of a freeman, and the
boldness of man, and take the ground at
once. on which he means to conduct his
administration. Texas will acquire new
confidence in his measures. The whole
country, TOO, will understand his views in
regard 10 the Tariff. The act of AZ is
out of the question, The Compromise
Act of '33 has been proclaimed by Mr..
Clay himself to be sufficient to give ade-
quate protection to domestic manufactures.
There is one great reason, why Mr.. Polk
should speak out promptly upon this sub
ject. The country should understand his
views. ltis even better for the manufac-
turers themselves to know what to de-
pend upon for their own future operations.
Stability of duties is of more consequence
than the imposition Of a high but fuctua-
ting rate. 49,.
There is one fact, to which our South

would not seem, therefore, from this state o
things, that the spiritual condition ofth
denomination is in state of lhorougl
progressive improvement.
2. remark in the second place, tina
Notwithstanding the members added te
our churches, including several young
men oftalents, property, and good educa.
ton, our ministry has not increased ia
numbers. After the dismission OF the
churches, Ten years since, to form new
Association, we had remaining with US
10 ordained and l l licensed preachers, 81
in the whole TO SO churches.-We have
still the same number of churches, with II
ordained and 4 liceneed preachers, still but
| in the whole.
These facts, my brother, viz. the failure
in thorough spiritual improvement, and
ofthe ministry, as 10 numbcrsin in our Asso-
citation, are affecting and startling facts. and
think 60 far TO show that we are far from
making shat advancement in divine life
which truly spiritual state of religious
feeling would, in aIl'human probability,
have produced in he time mentioned.
My object now is 10 call The attention
Of my brethren 10 this matter, that we
may, if possible, ascertain the causes or
means Of this state of things, seek out the
remedy, and engage earnestly in its appli-
Gallon.
For this purpose, propose in my next,
to treat more particularly OF prolracted
meetings, The manner Of conducting them
aud the unfavorable influence, if any,
which they may be supposed TO exert upon
the general state ofreligion in the church
es. For there be any such influence
derived from these meetings ii is important
that we should know it, to The end, that
in :heir.continuance, we may guard against
it. The investigation propose 10 make
may draw your further attention, my
brother, and the attention Of other breth-,
rem, TO this subject in profitable way. [
The present state Of the political and re-
ligious world demands of christians their
most spiritual and effective efforts. And
it behooves them to know in what way
they can most certainly contribute their
mid TO the cause oflheir country aud their
