Mr.. Editor,-With your permission | will
avail myself of your columns to call the at
~tention of the community to q subject which
yearly is presenting to us stronger claims,
for action. This town with a foreign resi-
dent population, numbering above 500 souls,
has no suitable place of worship, for them.
Some may say that the Seamen's Chapel az
fords the necessary accommodation. If this
building were intended for this class it is too
small to accommodate half their number. but
it is not-and w are credibly informed, and
is has also come to our own experience, that
the appropriation of the best part of this build
ing for pews by the residents and the num-
bers that are in the habit of attending are
impediments in the way of seamen. They
view the building and labors of the chaplain
as turned from their legitimate channel.
The consequence with many is a repugnance
to place themselves, in a situation which
must necessarily produce embarrassment, for
although their right to a free seat in any por-
ton of the building is undoubted, yet the
sight of a pew door, or a cushion implies a
private claim. These cushions are also a
source of perplexity to some of the residents
hemselves,-and under the present arrange
ment it is impossible always to ascertain
when and when seats can be taken without
offence to those who consider their claims as
better, on account of having furnished the
cushions. ! have seen q gentleman and lady
who were entering a slip occupied but by one
person, refused a seat because that person was
expecting some Of his friends. The residents
have contributed literally towards the Chapel
and the privileges of seats have been granted
them, but it is certainly neither wise or ex-
Polynesian., 1844-07-13

pedient that this half and half system should
prevail. The chapel should be either free to
all or the slips transformed into pews and sold
or let. l know residents who stay away from
divine worship, on account of this irregulari-
ty and because they do not wish to throw any
obstacle in the attendance of seamen, and it
is a fact that they are deferred from going on
account of the seats being so much filled by
the residents. Now l ask, Mr.. Editor,
whether a better arrangement could not be
made; in short, whether, considering the
present numbers and wealth of the foreign
residents, it would not be best for them to
form a church and sustain a clergymen for
themselves, and not be dependent longer up
on the means of others who perhaps are no
more able to give than we.
Yrs. Respectfully, QuERy.

Query.

In reply to this communication, we would
state that the same facts have frequently sug-
gested similar ideas to us, and while we can
bear the highest testimony to the zeal and
fidelity with which the present chaplain per-
forms his multifarious duties, and the respect
and affection with which he is viewed by all
classes, yet it appears to us that the objects
of the Seamen's Friend Society would be
more directly accomplished could the chap
lain be enabled to devote his pastoral labors
entirely to them. Enough visit this port to
fill the Chapel during most of the year, and
we feel assured that there exists among them
a strong desire to avail themselves of any re-
ligious advantages which may be offered. 1t
is also to be considered that the manner and
diction which might most favorably affect
them, would not be SO suitable to the more
varied shore inhabitants, and if we apprehend
the matter rightly, the primary object of a
Bethel is for the religious instruction of sea-
men. To remove then even the appearance
of any objections such as have been urged
by Query, we are decidedly Of the opinion
that the time has arrived when the prelimi-
nary steps should be taken towards the cs-
Enlistment Of a church. 1t will take consi-
derable time and money to effect it, but until
a building could be erected, a hall might be
hired for a place Of worship. 1t would not
require a large salary to induce a suitable
clergyman to settle among us, and one once
established, we feel assured that the number
of church-goers would be increased and his
influence prove an investimable benefit to
our growing community. A difficulty pres
ents itself, as to his denomination. Without
expressing our W opinion, we will merely
observe that having conversed with number
who have the accomplishment of this object
at heart, they have unanimously expressed
their opinions in favor of a selection from the
Episcopal Church; and this opinion is main
ly from those who are not of that faith them
selves, but consider her discipline and doc
trines as best calculated to unite a communi-
ty in which so great a diversity of opinions
on religious topics prevails, as in this. This
is a matter for further reflection, and what
ever may be the result, we earnestly hope
that this subject will not be dropped, but that
some persons will take it upon themselves to
learn the sense of the community and to act
accordingly.

positions had been held out them BY some of
Mr.. Browns democratic friends, and it is
barely possible that Mr., Baker in his efforts
may have killed two birds with one Stone
he may have broken up two coalitions, IN.
stead of but one.
We were defeated i'll procuring any print.
ing-we had no claims on it, and are there
fore not disposed to complain on that ac-
count; but we will say, tina. on the part of
some, never were more unholy motives at
the bottom of any action than on this occa-
sion. Oar worthy President of the Council
not satisfied with six dollars day and appa-
rently having no disposition TO keep his mo
tice for desiring to serve the people above
suspicion, himself made exerion TO procure
a portion OF the printing. In this he was al
ded by Mr. c. NJ. Blker, and Moses NJ.
Strong, OF pitcher memory A resolution
was introduced in the Council TO that effect
but IL was immediately made evident il could
not pass The effort was then TO defeat us,
and these men who could see no violation of
principle ~ giving portion of the printing
TO Mr. Strong, could readily perceive very
great violation as well as danger to the party
generally in giving it to us. The sacred
name OF democracy was invoked, and al
though there could possibly be no principle
at stake Ill the matter, by the cxcrtion of
these men, others were induced to violate
the most sacred promises, and sacrifice eve,
ry generous feeling.
Tais looks very much like private grief:
be it SO or otherwise. we should have said
nothing about it, had we not been impclled
to it by the Courier.
And now, Mr. Courier, we have answered
your questions in all fairness, allow us 10 pro
pound query in return. Why is it that the
Courier which claims to be the organ of the
democracy; assumes TO be the guardian of
its principles as also its interests, and takes
the liberty of applying the ban whatsoever
and whercsoevor II plcascs; why is 1t, we
ask, that 1t has not one word 10 say on the
SUBJECT OF natIon1i politics; that no principle
OF the party is ever discussed in its columns;
not line with regard TO the men ofthc par
'y; IN short, profoundly silent on every topic
of this character. Is it because the iudivi-
dual who owns the establishment and who
we have no doubt exercises exclusive con-
troll over lis columns, holds at the hands Of
President Tyler an office worth $1,000 per
year, and knows that President Tyler is Vi
olcntly opposed TO the democracy and to the
men Of the purity, and is lending all his IN
flucncc TO their defeat. We ask the question
in all candor, and as one of the party would
like TO have it answered that we may es;i-
mate truly the honesty of the men, who rs
yet, at least, have done nothing for or wit h
the party, except to advance themselves by
its influence.

The long expected manifesto from Mr..
Calhoun, on the subject Of the next Pres-
dency has made its appearance. 1t seems to
have been written in rather bad humor, but
nevertheless the truth of many Of his conclu-
sons must be admitted. He says he cannot
permit his name to 90 before the Baltimore
Convention; his objection is to the mode in
which the Convention is formed, and also
the manner in which it makes its selections.
He thinks, and very properly, in our opin-
that the delegates 10 the Convention should
come % fresh from the people, each district
choosing It's delegate instead of state con-
vention for that purpose. A state conven-
ton, as such conventions are constituted, he
thinks too fan removed from the people; it
is composed of delegates appointed by coun-
~ conventions; these conventions again com
posed of township delegates; giving oppor
tunities for designing politicians 10 influence
the small circle in which action commences.
and to influence the intermediate steps, until
the voice of the people is entirely lost, so
far is the final action removed from their i'm
mediate influence Ho thinks, as probably
do great many, that instead of the voice
and wishes of the people, national conyen-
ton is just as likely to express only the wish
es of designing politcians-men who have
no object in view but their own aggrandize-
ment. and desiring the success of the party
alone for that end. The convention system
is liable TO that objection. but it does not fol-
low that the evil will always attend it. The
next domocratic national convention will un-
lnnh!edlv nominate Martin Van Buren,, and
