CHURCH Union.

Mr.. EDIroR:-I notice in this Mornings
Union that the mem bers of the First Pres
byterian Church of this city held . meeting
last evening to. discuss the question OF
uniting with the Second Church, and that q
motion in favor of such union was adopted
oy . large najority, with this proEiso: that
the union shall be upon a just aud equitable
basis. Now, here's the rub. What shall
this Just and equitable basis be? The dis
cussion on this important point was, we
understand, quite spirited, and the doctrine
laid down by the principal. speakers amount.
ed To this: that the fraternal hand should
be- extended to the members of the Second
Church, provided they would cause their
pastor, elders and trustees 10 resign, dispose
of their church property, and remove, with
their goods and chattets, into the gloomy
recesses of the First Church, where they
would be allowed the choice of the least
desirable seats 10 that lily constructed
edifce This is certainly charitable, to say
the least 1t would be noble victory iol
the First Church, They would capture nov
only large mum Der of prisoners out aiso
largo amount of the materials OF spiritual
marf.-e The terms proposed TO the Second
Chnrch strongfy remind us Of the terms
oEsrsd TO the beleaguered rebe's at Fort
Donelson-uncondition surrender We
think the terms proposed by the Second
church-a AS . basis of union were all, and
more than the First Church had any reason
to demand. They agreed that their pastor
should resign, their church property be
disposed of and part of proceeds thereof
applied to the renovation and reftting Of
the First Church building. Would Christ
idns demand more than this ? They further
agree to listen to the preaching of Rev.
Newell for six months, and if satisfied with
him, to vote for continuing him in his pres
ent position but If not. that he should
resign, and new pastor be chosen. WASH,
this concession that should have moved
the First Church to grant at least honorable
terms? But no. they are compelled o
surrender every thing, and to have no voice
in the choice of pastor TO minister unto
them. If union is really TIE desire of the
mem bers of the First PRESBYTERIAN Church,
they should adopt different course of action
from that indicated at last nights meeting.
The pastors of both churches should
resign, as they have done in almos, esery
other place a union has been effected. A
new pastor should be chosen by ma lority
of the me N bers of the united churches, and
nothing should be done TO create in the minds
of either party that they are surrounding
not only their rights bu. their property into
the hands of a scheming adversary. Broth
erly love is not usually increased by charity
If some honorable terms are adopted we
NAV soon hope to see removed the unseen
" sight of two branches of the same family
occupying positions antagonistic TO each
other. and their church edifces standing
like the frowning buttresses of two hostile
forts. EQUlTV.

Card from James Armstrong.

TINE undersigned would hereby respectfully
l. beg leave to return his sincere thanks to the
Democratic and Conservative voters of New Cas-
tie county for their partiality in selecting him
their candidate for the Sherfalty, from among so
many other gentlemen, whose names were pre-
sehted TO them on Saturday last, any one Of
whom would have done honor alike to the Office
and the great party to which they so long and
faithfully adhered.
1t would afford him great pleasure TO visit his
friends in every Hundred in the county and to
tender to each, personally, his thanks for the
honor conferred upon him but, as circumstan-
ces, which are best understood by those who are
most intimately acquainted with him, render this
impractcable, he adopts this as the only availa-
BILE mode of expressing his gratitude to his fel-
low-cizens for their past support and of solicit
ing continuation of the same at the ensuing
general election, pledging himself, that, should
he be SO fortunate as TO be elected to the said of
flee, he will discharge its duties with honesty fl
deity, and TO the best of his humble ability.
