About Cirureb. GoTrnniiit. ..Ii.-fc I-lpiseopal Chureh, North and South, is charged with being anti republican and unscriptural in its organiza tion. Our dear brethren of other churches rai!f'i a disinterest ed snd laudable de sire to deliver us from cur evil ewe by proselyting us to their own happy folds. A pious, patriotic howl is periodically raised against us by those whose only bond of union is hatred of Methodism. The object of the Gospel is to do away with al vil ; and the design of all church organisations is to spread the Gospel over the wkole earth. Ia our simplicity, we oistrue the great commission, " Go into Ail the earth and preaeh," and the example f Christ and every one of his Apostles, fnll. Lrna.l ' , ' ministry, iue experience of a century Jemonstratas to Methodists, if not to the world, that it is impossible to maintain a rigorous, efficient itinerancy, without the primitive Apostolic Episcopacy recognised among us. To all this it is objected that it is anti-republican. This point we do vet argme now. Let two observations suf iee : fir?t, the Methodists of this Unioa r as patriotic and republican in their political principles as any other elass of oitisens -r second, when the majority of the oters in this country beeome members of any one ehureh whose form of government is closely modeled on that of the State, a nion f Church and State will speedily follow, to the ruin of both : whereas tho fundamental differenees in the govern ments of Church and State, aa held by Methodists, are sustained by the Mature of the one and of the ether, and by the Word of God ; and, moreover, interpese insuper able bars to au adulterous uaion of the two. There is thus ample security to the State against the encroachments of the Church, embodied iu the Tery eonstitution of Methodism, and kept alive by tho piety aad patriotism f its members. Tha private members of bo denomina tion of Christians in the land are more in dependent and free from olerical influence upon their political opinions, than the Methodis.s are. Long may this bo our glorying ! And may all who minister in holy things among us ever be able to say with the Apostle, "For I determined to kaow nothing among yom, but Christ and kim cracified." s'. C. Imtitic Asylum. It aiTords us pleasure to comply with the request of a "Subscriber," by giving tho following information as fc tho State Luarfcto ijlarjt : Ia the winter of 1?4?, Miss Iix, f New York, visited Raleigh, and presented memorial to the Legislature, asking ro Iif for the icsane. J. 31. Morehead,thea tho Governor of North Carolina, recom mended the establishment cf an Asylum. Tho Legislature passed an aet for that pur pose. After the lapse of a year, during which a fund had been raised ky taxatioa, ha work wa begun. It is rapidly ap proaching completion, and it is expected a announcement will be made some time ia 31 arch that all is ready for the recep tion of patients. Tho building is oh an eminence sailed Dix Hill, in full view, fronting tho oity, about one mile south-west from tho Capi tol. Tho main building is 700 feet long, 60 feet wide, aad three stories high, be side the basement. It is thoroughly ven tilsUd ; ths ron ar koate-d by stoam, which will promote both effort and safe-1 tiied for the cri'aa, by -arAaptired t'aeatri ty ; while pare water is ewjfl by pi pas ; eal performers, who gratify the pi-rioDS or to every part cf the buildinz.

A reference to the Revised Statutes will furnish all necessary information, and show j by these faets and reflection. Thechurches that every person ia the tate afflicted j in lare cities are apt to become tainted by with insanity may have aduibjlua into the corruption around them. The ainli this Asylarn. j ating country churches are generally less AVe make this gtateit-ent for the follow- i ing rea.sons : Every insane or idiotic per son in the State ought to be placed by his friends in this inftitution. They will here be more eomfortable than elsewhere, and have the most skilful treatment ensuring recovery where recovery is possible. Many f this unfortunate class may come under the observation of the travelling preach ers, who will do aa act of benevolence by j inducing their friends to send them to this I institution. Our object is to call atten tion to this Asylum, and to enable the preaihers and others to answer iauiries made by the friends and fsmilies of the i insane. Sunday Schools. These are the nuseries of the Church. The -uncomfortable condition of many pla oo of worBhjjfc, d the severitf of winter, Lave eaused a pretty general suspension of Sunday Sehool operations. But tho winter is passing away, and the time is at hand for an effort to establish a Sunday School i the session of Conference, and from per in every society. Of course the preacher sonal observation afErm that a better pur will try to do this, nnless he be frowned and chilled into despair of success. Will the members and friends of our church help in this good work ? Two things are necessary to a prosperous Sunday School. Teaehers, teachers are indispensable. Strange that there should b a scarcity of these: vet so it 5 , liie old people are preventaa by "amily cares they say ; and the young people are tempted of the devil we say : yes, tempt ed. One must spend Sunday ia visiting ; another must go to another church meet ing to aid and abet by his presence, the abuse the poor man in the pulpit pours on tke Methodista, by way of getting himself at of the brush. And thus, on one way or another it is difficult to keep up the Sunday School for want of teachers. Another necessity to success is Books ; text books ; and library books. These can be obtained in Richmond or Charleston at small cost. From five to ten dolkra can be given any where, and will procure books enough to lend out one every week to each pupil able to read it. In this way the minds and hearts of the young people will be improved, and an interest excited, that will keep up regular and full attendance at the school. Teachers ; Books ; let these be ready, and there will be no lack of chil dren, for we are rather isclined to think children abound in North Carolina. Young immortals, committed to our care, never properly taught unless in Sabbath School, redeemed by the blood of Christ, and soon to meet us before him in the judgment, can we give an account of this trust, while we neglect the Sabbath School ? Hold up tho hands of the preacher in this work ; labor to advance it ; and in due season, you shall reap, if you faint not ' Trinity Church, 2few York. This is the richest Protestant chureh eorporatioa in America. Many years ago, real estate was devised for its use, which has increased enormously in value. It is an Episcopal church, of the type claiming spiritual lordship, and at the same time exclaiming against Methodism, as an in fringement upon the cual right of all to veie in ehnrek affairs. The Legislature of New York, desiring to look into the management of so large a trust, have extorted a reluctant report from the Trustees of Trinity Church, from which, as contained in the New York He rald of the 20th instant, wo glean the fol lowing faets : The total value of property held by the church, irrespective of leases and build ings, is $2,068,710. The present annual income from the property f the church is 96,i2S 32. How is this expended? Wo extraat and contrast two items of the annual ex penses : " Choirs in four churches, and repairs, f 17,276 00 ; support of Mission to Afrioa, $250 00."

We certainly mean bo unkinlness fo our Kplscopal brethren in North Carolina knpure. But Methodists within the limits of the North Carolina Conference are be ing constantly availed by members of other thurchea upon the points illustrated by the facts here developed; and we deem it not unkind to any, when ?uch facts pre sent themselves as go to confirm Method ists in their calling; to present them in our columns. Seamen's Friend's Society, TTilmingtoil. Tha design of this Society is to Chris tianize seamen wh visit the pert of Wil rningfon. All denominations are united j in the enterprise; it is not sectarian. I llev. W. I. Langdon, of the N. C. Con- j fcrence, has been Agent for this Society several years, with the followiag results, in round numbers : About 8H,000 have been collected. Th Sosiaty hvc purch3d a lot ia Wil mington, with buildings for a Seaman's Home, and ground on which to erect a Bethel We visited the " Home" duriag chase, or more suitable arrangements for the end in view, could not have been 1 FT-I ( , 1 ' 1 1 1 made. i.ne management or trus wnoie Bu siness is in the hands of a perfectly relia ble and competent committee, on which are members of tho several churches ; and where all have done their duty, we would ouuu luTiuious comparisons. Neverthe less, we take the liberty of stating that the prudent and successful prosecution of this undertaking is greatly due to C. D. Ellis himself once a son of the sea, and now devoting his business tact and taleat to the promotion of piety among seamen. Two thousand dollars are still wanted to pay for the furniture, and balance on the lot ; and four thousand dollars additional are absolutely necessary to build a Bethel, a church, a house for religious worship. " But why did they not build a church first V For this reason : all experienee in laboring for the bcnaSt of seamen da monstrates, that an indispensable pre-re-quisite to success is a boarding-houe, or " Home," where the sesman, while in port, will be protected from the land-sharks and prostitutes, and allurements to intem perance, which are sure to meet and over coma him in the " hells" to which a false public sentiment in seaport towns other wise banish him. The heaviest expense has been met; the indispensable Ilosae, under the superintendence of a Christian, and upon the printlple3 of temperance and piety, has been secared. Nor have the more immediate duties of religious instruction and relief to the suffering been neglected. More than 400 have been expended by the Society in providing for destitute and sick seamen, not entitled ts relief from the U. S. Government. The efficient Colporteur, Bro. Andrews, not a Methodist, yet a Christian, has conversed with 928 seamen on religions subjects, 73 of . whom gave evidence of genuine piety. He has sold books to seamen, during one year, amounting to $336 91, and distrib uted gratuitously books amounting in value to $275 GO. But the time has come when the Gospel should be directly and regularly preached to seamen in Wilmington. Bro. Langdon Is the man to do that with effect and suc cess in saving souls from death. But an insuperable difScnlty is found in the waat of a church. To build a house of wor ship, 4,000 are needed. Shall the agent forego direct labor for the salvation of souls, while he traverses the State in so liciting this sum ? Or will our readers ferward contribntions to him, while he re mains at his post ? This amount must be raissd. The benevolent of North Carolina are able and willing to give it. Brother, send what you can afford to give to pro mote tho salvation of your kindred on the sea, to " Rev. W. I. Langdon, Wilming ton, N. C." So will yen do a good work, lay up treasure in heaven, and enable the Agent to remain at the post where God would have him labor to save souls.

Christian Perfection. We resume this all important subject, requiring the reader to consider any ob jections he may have to what follows, in the light of what h:is l-:n puMishod in former numbers. Mr. Wesley adopted the language cf St. John, and defined Christian i'erfection as that 'Perfect love which caststh out all tear tnat natu torrcen.. .yr. i- ieicner describes it as the "The cluster aud maturi ty of the grace", attainable by adult be lievers under the Christian dispensation." It is not a maturity which arriving at a given point, is limited by earti and corrup tion, and hastens to decay. It is a perfec tion of grace, which partakes of the infin ity of that heaven, whence all grace de scends. Hence, we rather choose to de- Sue Christian Perfection as "the greatest possible progress in holiness." But how far may this progress in holiness proceed in this life ? With the Bible for our stan - uaiu, a i iue jj'ji wcouj v-i'.'o. - 1 V 7 n-rA Tc.,.

Death cannot save him from all sin ; he eannot enter heaven with sin on his heart: hence, if ever saved from all sia, it must be ia this life, through faith in that blood which "eleaaseth from all sin." But does the Bible authorize kirn to ex pect to be made perfect as a Christian in this life ? Away with "carnal reasonings" and temptations. "To the law and to the testimony."
