My DEAR BRETHREN,-You will soon
assemble in this place TO consult upon the
interests of the Redcemer's kingdom, and
will he received aud treated with hospitality
10y our families while remaining here. Per-
nit me without any desire to dictate, TO sub
nut u few thoughts upon question of prnc-
ilcul moment. llorsc-stcullug exists here by
law, hut you will find very few stolen horses
owned 10y the families who will entertain you,
though To be sure we do not make this mat
ter II test in admitting members. Indeed
there are but 2l03 stolen horses in the city,
which nre well cared for in all respects,
being well fed, stabbed aud trained. We are
looking and praying for divine influences,
and hope that your coming will he n season
OF refreshing from the Lord Therefore we
are very anxious not TO have attention direct
ed from revival themes and efforts by the
introduction OF debates on the subject of
horse. stealing. You know that many of us
do not consider that u sin, and refuse TO
treat il us disciplnable offence. Hence
any attempt TO ngilate the matter will lead to
ill-will aud strife, will weaken our power 10
do the people good, and may grieve away
the spirit of God. Besides, The subject OF
horse-stealng has been entirely exhausted
OF previous debates in the Assembly. IN.
stead of wasting time aud zeal in contentious
efforts to purge the church from horse-steal-
ing, trust that you will rather attend to the
more important and appropriate work of
Foreign missiune aud the extension of our
denomination, remembering that il we dwell
enough on tie general truths of religion, all
crooked things will become straight. As this
is the first time that the General Assembly
will have met At Washington, am parlicu-
larly anxious that the people and Congress,
many of whom are horse thieves, should be
pleased with the body, and that distinguished
men may learn lessons of pence from our
harmony. Hoping that the sin of horse
stealing will be LEI alone, at least till the As
sembly meet in some place where it is not
praclised, and trusting that in the next ed-
ton of the Bible, james B. IL, may he altered
so rs to declare that "the wisdom that is
from above is first peaceable aud then pure,"

How Il Looks.

short time previous to the meeting oI
the General Assembly at Washington, Rev.
John c. Smith, of that city, with an argus
eye for the welfare of the church, presented
letter TO the delegates, through the W y
Evangelist, in which he counsellcd them to
discuss the delicate subject of Slavery, nsstr-
ing them that they would find very little, il
any, of il in the families that would entertain
them; that there were bu, 2l03 slaves in the
city; that the colored population were sup
piled with churches and ihat the subject
of Slavery has been entirely exhausted 10y
the discussions in Congress- The writer
also expressed the hope, that the time here
toiore occupied in discussions on this subject
will be devoted TO the cause of Missions,
Home aud Foreign Church extension, and
plans for converting this land to our Lord
Jesus Christ, aud preaching the gospel to
every creature Such is the bewitching in.

But leaving this topic, permit me in
conclusion TO notice briefly the religious or
gnniZnions of the country, as the other
main prop of slavery. And here ! plant
myself upon the Oft quoted declaration of
one of the nblcst men in our land, of what
ever nane: "Fhere is no power out Of he
church, that could sustain slavery an hour, ifit
were not sustained in it. All that is neccs.
sary is for each christian man, and for epay
christdin church, TO stand up in the sacred
muiesty of such n solemn testimony, 10 free
Themselves from all connection with eva, aud to
utter II calm aud Deliberate voice to the
world, and the work will be DONE" Aboli-
tiOuiss have reason to thank Albert Barnes
for his courageous and manly ulterancG of
this truth some years ago for whether he
shall now practically accept it or decline
It's consequences, it has gone forth
with power among the people, waking up
thousands, doubt MOTTO sense of their guilt,
whose conscicnces were sllronded in dark
ness. But what are our churches doing for
the Anti-slavery reform? Alas! !he popular
religion of the country lies imbcdded in the
politics of the country. il sinks down 10 n
dead level with the other influences which
sway our age. Christianity, in its popular
disguises, has ceased, in n great measure, TO
he regarded as divine power, practically
capable of saving the world from its sins.-
1t hus formed wicked compact with the
capital aud ruling forces of society, aud
submits itself 10 their guidance, instead Of
bringing them into suLjeCtion to its supreme
law. Instead Of seeking peace aud unity in
the church by raising It's uncompromising
voice against the evils which produce
discord, il sacrifices tho principles of
Justice and mercy TO the advancement
of its temporal interests. DIR. Chalmers
himself has said, that even our othodoxy
has become efiete, body of ceremonies
aud formulas, from which the life and power
have departed. Smit with visions of eclesi-
nslical power, the leading reigiouists are
zealously intent upon the building up of rich,
powerful, and popular organizations, as it
these were "the great body of believers"
the true church according to the Scriptures.
