Agreement.

tending decidedly to tho conviction that slave
holding and christianity are about the same
thing. We want 1t understood that this is not
the declaration of tho infdels, or the abolition
lists, but of the fraternal church north and SOUTH
A Calvinistic Dr. of Divinity, in South Caro- |
lima, as reported by tho Fairfield S. G. Herald |
says;
"The party called aboltionists, is nothing !
moro nor less than infdelity in disguise !" and
thinks that they would soon be compelled to
throw of the mask, and stand forth before the
whitening and rcbuking scorn of all true chris
tians."
This South Carolina ID. d. may bo very hon
est in his opinion, indeed he could believe
nothing else if ho thinks his northern brethren
in the ministry men of truth for while the
great body oil the church justihes slavery, they
arc ever swearing by their robes, that their
neighJoys The a5oltionists are isdeis and nothing
else. Thus conspiring to convince us all, that
slavery supporting,is the only genuine evidence
of christianity.
The Christian Press, as our readers will re-
collect, from our extracts from it last week, has
come to the like conclusion, and the Richmond
! CVa.) Banner, in its rich and racy comments
upon the Hartford convention, quite comedies
! with it. 1t gives also in lively contrast, the
superior faith, morals and manners of the Pa
trarchs, over their northern brethren, though
it seems to think that even their purity &C Christ
iauity, fortified as it is by slavery, is yet in
some danger from the contaminoting influence
of tho north. The Press, and others like it,
will not admit with their "God fearing, Bible
reading" brethren of the south, that there
exists the agreement specified, between slavery
and the Bible. But practically, they both come
to tho same conclusions. Both oppose the
unti-slavery movement, lest the Bible suffer by
its progress.
Here Is an extract from the southern paper
"The real truth is, that those same pharisa-
ical New England States, thanking God they
are not as others, are the moral plague spots of
our land. There is more prostitution and wan
tonncss in the single city of Boston than in all
the States south of the Potomac put together.
The people Of Now Englagd have made tho
word YANKEB synonomous with CHAT over
tho whole civilized world. Where did the de-
grading supcrstitions of Mormonism originate
| Where did magnetism, mesmcrism, clairvoy-
ancc, first find footing in this land Where
are tho Rapperoesi Where are all the ismsf
Where are tho Atheists and the Infdels-thc
enemies of Christ and the bold blasphemcrs of
Godi Mormonism, mesmerism, spirit-rap-
pings-such things can only thrive in the
North. They find no footing in the South
Tho God-fearing, Bible-readng, clear-headed
people Of the Southern States give no counten-
ance to BARSuMs of trade or BARNuMs of phi
losophy. They obey the laws, reverence the
Constitution, adhere to the faith of their faith
ers and their race. We believe no other popu.
ation in the world is SO fair dealing, or so little
addicted to the lccntious vices. Uncorrupted
by towns and trade, subsisting by agriculture,
living in the open country, their minds are not
frittered away by chicanery and consequent
Skopticism, nor do their bodies become cner-
waited by the luxurics of current wealth and a
dense population. These things not having be-
come necessary to them, they are enabled by
{ tho cheapness OF their living to marry when
poor and young, and they do so. The ties of

, laws, its morals, and its faith. They are still
the same independent yet conservative popula-
ton that they were in the days of the Revolu-
G ton. Against such population, the surging,
' varying opinions and licentous ideas of the
North break as the sea upon the rocks. No
new nonsense thrives with them. Their stern
| faith and conservative morality constitute the
hope and the anchor OF this Government. II
tho whole land were filed with people like
those who ill New England and New York, a
Government like ours would not exist n day.
1t would be scattered to the winds-give place
f to "a year of sects and schisms follow in the
footsteps of the Republic of France, or end
where that Of Mexico is ending"
I "IEe cause of the South and the cause Of
Christianity are identical. One recognizes the
. other, and is recognized in turn. Tho Bible
admits and sanctions the institution of slavery
# because tho Bible is in harmony with human
n nature and the laws of the moral and physica
4 world. The Abolitionists all perceive the con
a. neetion between the two, and seek the over
n throw of the Bible, because that is tho first ste
,g to the overthrow of its patriarchal institution
In When they succeed in their first endeavor the
ir may succeed in the second"
