THE DUTY OF THE CHURCH.
SERMON BY GEORGE b. cuEEvER, D. D.

A sermon was preached by DR.. Cheever Nav II,
on the duty Of the Church and the Ministry in the
United States in regard to the inquty Of slavery,
and tie education and protection of the African
race from Jeremiah %, D.
DR.. Cheever said that as his enemies had given
nim the ear OF the nation by the blessings of Gnds
grace he meant to use it. There was no duty
greater than this of the Church towards the nation
IN reference to Slavery. This duty could not be
performed by dead resolutions which were but a
convenient anodyne. a sagacious American
abroad had used his diploma instead oe a pass port
and II being grand looking document it was re.
ceived. Resolutions were false pretense rs
this Nothing but Divine truth and its applica-
tiUn by the force Of divine truth preached by the
ministry of God could do the duty Of the Church
toward the nation in this respect. For this the
ministry was ordained and was to be suppurted
and for this the Sabbath instituted to stem
this torrent of reignihg rampant niquity. The
duty OF the Church was to keep the avaricuus mo.
lives which were avUwed by some Of the uppO.
nents Of Slavery, God would not permit that,
forgetting principle, we should wait for the ava
rice of men who saw their fields wasted and grass
growing in their streets,to persuade them to eman
cpatnn. The spirit by the word uOnVinces not by
appeals to mems selfshness. but their c0nscieuces
The cord of God applied to the conscience was his
chosen way Of producing repentance. There
might be cases which, where guilt had grown into
the national business, religion and the law The up-
roar of its downfall would he tremendous. Who
would speak againstit? Not the politicians tEey
had nothing to do with the conscience; Gods word
alone spake to that. No nation had any conscience
except as the conciences Of the people male it
The popular conscience could he reached only
through the pulpit and on the Sabbath. Slavery
never could have grown 10 its present gigantic
power if the pulpit had spoken against it and act
ed against it, 1t could not have stood up 10 any
State against an accommodation from the Church.
But now IN the silence of the pulpit, it was impi-
"usly enthroncd in the temple # national justice.
From it we had no refuge bur .he Word of God
Aud not now few words would answer, but all
the collected thunders of the Bible must be brought
10 bear. 1t was said that pulitca! preaching gave
nfense to the people and repealed pewhOdeys -
This was nothing hut modern and plausible
rendering of Simon Magus bargaining with Peter
Ii was taking it for granted that the object of
preaching was not to Ireach Gods word but to
rent the pews. GOD had never meant to have His
Word harnessed dray horse to drag the fnan-
ces of a society up hill. The Church was the pill
lar to uphold the truth--not the truth u currency
to pay for the Church. If ministers we're unset

COTTON IN INDIA.

The London correspondent of the New York
Tribune thus speaks of the prospects for the
growth Of cotton in British India, and its effects
the institutions of our own country:
American planters are usually so confident in the
exclusive monopoly of cotton, that they think it
superAuuus even to notice the endeavors ot the
Manchester mun to extend the growth Of the cotton
plant in India. 1t might, no" ever, be interesting
to the Black Republicans" to zee the gradual in
crease of cotton production in the East, which
sooner or later-whenever the railroads and canals
now in construction, have opened the resources Of
the central portion of India to remunerativt
Eurgpean nvestmerts-must exterminate slavery
nsthe Southern States.
Aeaurd'ng to the newly publislel 7"tnrr3 o
the .ppprts of the first quarter of lS57, England
rerH sffou Iutia lel, ,6S0ewt, of cotton.agalns
17l,li0 rwt and - 222 cwt. in the corresponding
periods of 1856 and lo55 Though this quantity
is rather insgnigcant compared with the total i'm
mort uf the quarter, viz l,716 500 cwt., still il
shows Il steady continual increase OF the supply
from India. 1t is the cloud not bigger than a
hand that foretells the comiag ruin Of Slavery.
There is doubt that the cotton produced in
India cannot as yet compete with best qualities of
the Americun article. Still the coarser quality of
India cotton, cultivated by the cheapest iabor in
the world, cannot fail in the long run, to depre-
ciate the value of Governor Wise's myers. | fear
the ehivalrous SOuthron will live to his chat:le
selling 5000 instead of $1,000, which he dreams
of realizing by the extension of the peculiar inst.
tuition north of Mason and Dixon's line.

SOUTHERN SCHOOL BOOKS.

The recent Savannah Commercial Convention,
it may be remembered, by resolution requested
certain gentlemen eminent in learning and matters
pertaining thereto, belonging to the Southern
States to take the subject of Southern schoolbopk'
under their auspices, and select and prepare such
series of books in every department Of study, a.
shall seem to them best qualified 10 elevate and
purify the education of the South Among these
gentlemen were Bishop Elliot, number of the
reverend and other professors of Colleges, and
certain gentlemen, believe, representing all the
States, assembled in the Convention. We perceive
by the Richmond Enquirer that Mr. Lyons, the
president of the Convention, has called meeting
Of the Committee at Columbia, in the State of
South Carolina, on the 18th day of May next
BdttimOre AmericaH.
So the work of expurgation is to be commenced
in earnest, and everything that calls in question
the DIVINITY Of slavery, or illustrates the blessings
of freedom, is TO be carefully excluded from
Southern school books. for this is what is meant
by 'elevating and purifying the education of the

WALKERS PLAN OF PACIFIcATIoN.-The Wash
lngtUn correspondent OF the New York Herald
says that when Robert j. Walker was in that city
week ago, he had many private interviews with
the Pres'dent and the plan of "pacifcation" fixed
upon is rs follows:
Gov Walkers programme is to allow the pro-
Slavery party 20 on aud frame their Slave State
Constitution; to allow the Free State party at the
same time, to hold many conventions and pass
as many indignation resolutions they please,
and tothrow ali the proceedings of both parties
into the next Congress, with splendid manifesto
IN behalf of his new compromise.
Aud what is thai? The simple scheme of Civ
ing the lion 3 share of Kansas, as now organized
to the Free State party for Free Stete and Of for
ming the boundaries of new Slave State by al
ding to a small slice of Southern Kansas hrg,
slice from the splendid Indian country South of it

that they had something more than show bills
and Autographs to contend with, for the circus
men not only whipped them out OF their boots
but out Of their town. Tie old ndage that ev
cry cock will fight best upon his own dunghill
don't hold good in that case for the Richmond
cocks although numbering twenty to one against
the sawdust men, proved that they were faster
runners than fighters. Since .hen, they have
bottled up their wrath, until the appearance Of
the devoted agent of Alf Burnett gave them a
chance to uncork it, and thus in the Hnnhla
tion of the vile show bills and "pcters" OF the
'cussel Cincinnatian, the honor of this immor-
ti burg is resuscinted and in the language of the
immortal poet, her citizens may eSclaim:
