Tb.3 Celebration-
The Fourth of July was celebrate-! with
unusual spirit in thbs city.
At sunrise a large audience attended
the usual religious service5- in the Presby
terian Church.
At 10 o'clock, a prece'-ion, including
the two military companies, inarched into
the Ojurjioc-i IlaJJ, which was packed to
its utmost opacity. After the reading
of the Declaration of Independence by Pu
laski Cowpor, Esq., an Oration was deliv
ered by V. W. Holden, Ks'j. It was wor
thy the occasion, and abounded in the elo
quence of thought and of patriotism. We
Lope t' Le able, ere long, to lay before the
reader that portion of it which related to
2otth Carolina.
In the afternoon, all the Sunday School.-,
except the Episcopal, formed in procession
in Capitol Square, and marched to the
Presbyterian Chrch, where a short, ele
gant, and able -plea for Sunday Schools
was made by Itev. Mr. Atkinson. The
Schools then separated, each School with
its teachers, proceeding to partake of a
feast of such thing. as children delight in.
At night tnere was such a display of
fire-work-', bonfires and balloons, as cer
tainly amazed some of our country friends.
Upon the whole, the day passed off very
pleasantly; and the influence of such a
celebration cannot be otherwise than salu
tary to the public mind.

Our dear liro. Jones feels this sore be

I know he will have the sympathies and

To Correspondents.
Several Communications are crowded
out for want of room : they shall appear
us soon as practicable. We arcuowreceiv
inir more original matter thau we can
insert, without excluding selections which
are better, and which are necessary to that
variety which subscribers expect in a
newspaper.
Several articles, which are otherwise ac
ceptable, will not be inserted because they
are too long. Other thing3 being equal,
shorter articles will be accepted ; longer
ones rejected. Among those accepted, the
first received will be' the first published.
Missionary Collections.
To the Jfcmhcrs of the JV". C. Conference :
Dear Riietiitien : At our last session
in Wilmington, the following resolution
was passed by the Conference : .
" Resohed, That the Missionary Collec
tioas be taken up in the months of August
and September." .
Let every brother carry out the resolu
tion. North Carolina " expects every man
to do hi3 duty."
IUA T. WYCIIE, Sec'y.
The worthy Secretary suggests that we
call attention, editoriall-, to the Mission
ary Collections. We cannot do so more
properly thau by quotiug his own words,
which he will pardon us for laying be
fore the reader :
Dear Bro. IIeflin : Please publish
the above resolution in the North Carolina
Christian Advocate, with such editorial
remarks as you may deem appropriate to
stir up the pure minds of our brethren on
the subject of Missions. This glorious
cause should be constantly pressed and
urged upon the Church, until every mem
ber is fullr aroused to feel its vast impor
tance, and to pray and icorlt and give, as
the stupendous interests involved in the
issue most surely demand.
With more than thirty thousand white
members and twelve thousand colored, we
should not fail to raise at least fifteen thou
sand dollars for Missions this year. And
this can and will be done, if every man
will do his duty. And should we not ex
pect a large increase in our contributions,
in view of the fact that we have such an
excellent " Advocate" of our own circu
lating within our bounds 1
Let the " Advocate" plead and press
this great cause " the cause of all man
kind" the cause of Christ, of souls, of
heaven. Very affectionately.
Striking Coincidence.
" If we have fallen heir to a weak head,
we have also to an honest heart, whicb is
decidedly better than to have both, a weak
head and a depraved and Tjnruly heart.
If such, as we have reason to suspect, is

it-ic'f an c-xeluHive title to the Iiiviae fa-i
vor, and would exclude from salvation any j
who "are the children of God by faith in j
Jchu3 Christ," we wsge an endless war of j
truth and love. We protest ftirainst anv
criterion of Christian fellowship, not laid
down in the Pible; against the infringe
ment of any man's right to form his own
opinion of "what the liible teaches; and
against the claim of any one church to be j
the one universal fold of Christ, out 0fi
which there is no salvation.
The enemies of Christianity, variant in
everything else, are united in hostility to ! r
the cause of Christ; and Christians ou-ht !
to be united. JJut upon what terms in a
union of all Christians proper and practi
cable ? We answer, only upon such terms
and by such bonds as the Bible sanctions;
which arc, perfect freedom of thought, of j
action and of organization, and a perfect
union in the one faith of Jesus Christ, and
in the spiritual baptism of love to God and
to one another.
Every man who believes in Christ, and
obeys His commandments, according to his
own conscieuuous uuuei.iauui.ig m ;
- . . it ,i i i: . e j.i ;
is a Christian, and is entitled to be recog-UQ
nized by all Christians as a "brother be
loved." lie who fails thus to recognize a
believer, though he base that refusal upon
a thousand claims of prescriptive or ex
elusive right; though he erect from the
rubbish of antiquity a thousand barriers of
outward form and ritual observance around
him, is himself "uilty of the schism he !
' n j :
erroneously charges upon his brother.
Until the intellect of man is chained,
as in the Iloman Church, quenched in
eternal night, or brought in all to a state
of absolute and perfect knowledge, a com
plete unity of opinion is impossible. Such
a unity never has existed, aud never can.
And yet common sense, the Word of God,
and the teachings of His Spirit, all de
mand that Christians live and love, and
act in union. To effect this union, con
ventions have been held, books have been
written, and little squads of people, here
and there, modestly claiming to be the
only church of Christ, hare, with amusing
gravity, said to the masses of believers
around them, "You are all wrong; you
are all out of the ark of safety; we only
are right; we believe in the unity of the
Church; come over and join us!"
All such appeals are based upon erro
neous views of what it is which divides
Christians, and of what the true Bible
unity of the Church implies. What di
vides Christians? It is error. If they be
Christians still, then are they free from
fatal error : and the question returns, what
separates Christians from one another?
We answer, it is sin. The cause of dis
cord among brethren may assume a multi
plicity of sounding names and plausible
pretexts, but after all, nothing can break
the " unity of the spirit" among those who,
through faith in Christ, are brethren, but
SIN. No remedy for the evils of division
will ever be efficient, unless it strike out
the cause of the evils it deplores. Any
proposed dogma, or ordinance, or external
unity, is mere quackery and delusion. To
unite all the people of God in the only
bonds of unity which are scriptural or
practicable, the cause of the divisions
among them must be exterminated; sin
must be expelled from all the churches ;
the doctrine taught iu the words, "The
blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all
sin," must become the experience of all
believers in all the churches. Then Chris
tians will love each other; they will tole
rate differences of opinion ; they will meet
fraternally in all the churches; they will
only provoke one another unto love and to
goo.d works ; the prayer of faith will be
unbroken and effectual; the energies of
the churches, no longer expended in a
warfare upon each other, will be directed
to the conversion of sinners; and with
unbroken front the united Church will
go forward to the conquest of the world.
Reader, if you wish to be happy, to get
to heaven, to promote the unity of the
Church, and contribute to the final victoiy
of the Gospel, seek holiness of heart. Let
this good work begin with you, and within
you; and let it begin now.
Too Much of It-
There seems to be a sort of mania for
presenting " testimonials." Military com
panies give a sword to a holiday officer,
who scarcely knows the smell of gunpow
der. One Congressman breaks his stick
over another Congressman's head, and
canes enough are presented to him to prop
up a portion of a regiment of sexegena
rians. Professors and schoolmasters come
in for a silver set, a salver or a spoon, until
one would suppose that the discharge of
duty has become so rare an occurrence that
people must mark it by some unusual de
monstration of applause. After all, per
haps the motives prompting to such " tes
timoEials" are praiseworthy eneugh ; but a
(little nore repeet f,r the ScHptT-Tsl its-
i junction of secrecy in stlrxs s-jnTin?, would
jsare the recipients from the raspicioa of

North Carolina, within the first six months j

the same time, if the preachers, from any I
cause, do not present its claims with zeal
to the people, we appeal to the people to
act for themselves, send their own sub

and in all proper ways promote the circu
lation of a paper published among them,
and devoted to their interests. We want
five hundred new subscribers, immediate

it will make the number ; or if one in

send a new one, our list will be en

Sot True.
Our Northern exchanges, received last
Friday, announced under the telegraphic
head, that a Methodist Conference in Mis
souri had been broken up by a mob, and
its President tarred and feathered. Of
course the Conference of the Northern
Methodist Church is the only Methodist
body of the kind which would be liable to j
such a disaster in Missouri ; and as that '
body does not meet until Oct. 8th, it can- '
not have been already mobbed. The re- j
port cannot be true. I
The State of the Case.
From the first issue of the N. C. Chris-
t;an Advocate, the Baptist paper in this
Q-lty nas p,eea accustomed to assail it and
; jg Editor.
! Unwilling to weary our readers with a
! discission of the little pener-corn ques-
tions in which our neighbor exercises his
gifts, we have attempted for weeks to draw
him to issues which are vital to the claims
he sets up for his church, by pressing the
following questions :
1. Does the Editor of the Recorder ap
prove the New Version movement ; and of
such, a change in the common version as
will substitute " immerse" for baptize" ?
2. Will he state who immersed the first
Baptist minister in America, who immersed
that administrator, and so on, back to the
, Apostles ?
3. Will he prove or retract the charsre
made in his paper of May 8th, that Meth
odists receive impenitent sinners into the
church, and enrol the names of infants
upon their church books ?
Such is the substance of cpuestions which
the Editor of the Recorc7er has evaded an
swering for weeks, by a variety of subter
fuges. We consequently published, a few
weeks ago, for the information of our read
ers, that he backed out from these ques
tions by a refusal to answer them. At
this he became angry, and used ugly words.
No unkind feelings toward him have ruf
fled us; no abusive words have dropped
from our pen. We are perfectly willing to
discuss, in a fair and Christian spirit, the
claims he sets up for his church, to any
extent which a regard for the wants and
wishes of our readers wjll permit ; we care
not for all his wrath and abuse ; but his
readers are perfectly aware that we only
state a palpable fact, in reiterating that he
is backed out and angry. lie devotes a
long article, in his usual style, to us, in his
paper last week. We would quote it as a
literary and clerical curiosity, but for cer

disfigure it. For example, the Editor says

Eev. Dr. I)eeru3 at Hampden Sidney,
r J
My Dear Bro. Hej-LIx : As we were
at the recent Commencement of Hampden
Sidney College, and had the pleasure of
hearing the address of Rev. Dr. Deems,
to the Philanthropic Society, we have
concluded to send you a brief notice of it.
His fame as an orator and a scholar, was
well known to the students and the Faculty
of the College, - and all welcomed him in
tueir midst, and expected great things ot j .
him. The subject of his address was! ITEMS.
"The comparative merits of Pantheism and 1 r ., , . . , ,,, ,
Christianity, as the basis on wh eh tobuild ! LlUr'11 lt 18 6tate' L? tbe Chari(tcm
a manly character;" a subject1 in the so-; Standard, that Soll'O has been recently

as much good judgment and taste, as he j Alabama, and Virginia, in aid of the South
did intellectual ability in the discussion of ; T , , ,, 11- .- e 4 t. ; ,

It was peculiarly appropriate to the times, i which endorses and circulates the Iruii

lyle and Kant, the profoundest thinkers of ! r T. i i
J, . t, . i i i fession. It admits tnat the cuarcues
their age. It was admirably suited to tne j .
occasion for a second reason, namely, bo- j therG have become so eGSr0d Wlth ex"
cause it was delivered before a literary j ternal questions, and so excited by the
society of educated young men ; and there I various isms of the day, that vital piety
is no religious error into which reading ig raDidly deeliniue. Let the Southern
younsr men are more probable to fall, than !, , , , , ,
v . f, ,, ,. c . ' c Churches be warned to keep themselves to
into the attractive and fascinating one of i 1
Pantheism. It has never been our pleas- j their ProPer work of preaching Christ, and
ure td listen to a more elegantly chaste,
and powerfully convincing orator. The
speaker first discussed Pantheism, stating
all the arguments in its favor in their most
forcible light, and then siugly and satisfac
torily refuted them all, showing that in the
doctrine of Pantheism no answers could be
found for the questions, " Whence came
man?" "Whither is he going?" "What
was the object of man's creation V He
then discussed Christianity, pointing out
the harmonious beauties of the system,
showing that without it no explanation
could be given to the external world, and
without it the cravings of the immortal
soul could never be satisfied. It was the
most clear and conclusive exposition we
ever heard. All that could interest was to be
found iu the matter of the address, and ia
the manner of its delivery Dr. Deems ex
hibited every attribute of an orator. One
would suppose that so complex and grave
a subject would afford little scope for the
excreise of the imagination ; yet the speak
er asrain and again thrilled the audience
with the most beautiful and sublime flights
of fiinc-y. Nor were the force of his logical
deductions, and the cogency of his reason
ing less powerful than the beauty of his
rhetoric. We need not attempt to describe
the speech or its effect. While it was or
nate it was logical; sublime, yet ioreibie; lm
Jjrinative, yet argumentative ; and withal
delivered in the most elegant and impres -
sive manner. The audience satin pro -
found silence, and listened with the deep
est interest and attention through' the
whole speech, though they had been just t
before addressed m a speech of some
length bv a very distinguished gentleman
from Richmond. The learned President
and all the other members of the Faculty of
the College were delighted with the oration
and the man. They all look upon Dr.
Deems as an elegant gentleman, a profound
scholar, an accomplished orator, and a sin
cere, earnest christian. We heard one of
the most intelligent and talented students
of the College say that he had been read
ing Carlyle, Kant, and Paine, and that he
believed them until he heard Dr. Deems'
address ; that that address refuted them
all, and that his hearing it was the
most fortunate event of his life. Daring j
the address we sat by the side of one of j Church, on the Park, near the City Hall,
the oldest Trustees of the College, a phy- j ew York, is now being demolished, the
sician of great eminence and dlstmctiou ; i , , - , 1.-11-

A Word to Methodists. Some Metho
dists will send their daughters to the
Moravian School, at Bethlehem, Pa.
They should give it in charge of their
daughters to attend the Methodist Church
in that place ; and should direct the fac
ulty to permit them to do sq. It would
be well also to write on the subject to the
Methodist preachers stationed at Bethle
hem, Revs. II. A. Hobbs,and J. II. Boyd,
who will promptly attend to the wishes of
parents in respect to their daughters.
Kansas. The Senate has passed a bill
for th admission of Kansas, upon terms
which it is believed would secure it as a
slave State, by a vote of thirty three to
twelve. But is very doubtful whether the
bill will' pass the House of Representa
tives. Romish Intolerance. In Rome, they
not only have a censorship of the Press,
but a censorship of Tombs. All Protes
tants, dying in Rome, must be buried out
side the city, In a burying ground appro
priated to Heretics only. Even the Epi
taphs are subjected to a rigid scrutiny.
j Lately the daughter of aa English lady
1 died in Rome. The mother would have
had inscribed upon her tomb these prec
ious words ; " Blessed are the pure in
heart, fur they shall see God." While
the headstone was in the shop of the stat
uary, an officer of the Government ordered
the erasure of the word?, "for they shall
see God ;" for the reason, as he said, that
it was not possible for heretics to see God.
