TheaAserhbling in.bttr city, of this large $na;dlfnguisho4 body jof Chris tian ministers and Iaynfen.Hhe author ized representatives in matters Of Church government and polity of the large and influential denomination which has done $o .much,' and which is destined to -do piult Tnore for the evangelizatioa of the world, would seem to be a fitting occasion upon which to lav before the readers of The Ob serves some facts in reference to the growth of Methodism in the State of North Carolina and in the United States. . . - In May, 1776, at a conference held in the city of Baltimore, a new circuit was organized and called the " Carolina Cir cuit." Three preachers were appointed to this new field, viz: Edward Dunn gado, Francis Paythrep and Isaac Ta tum. These men have gone to their re wards and their successors have pressed on for one hundred years in the prose cution of i the glorious work in which they fought and triumphed. To-day we look back over the field of toil and be hold grand results : a great people, in stinct with the life and soul of a glori ous Christian faith, churches, colleges and seminaries of learning dotting the whole land, and the vitalizing power of Christianity nerved 1 fth the energy of divine truth reaching into and ele vating all classes of society and all forms of belief. The success of Methodism in the State and nation is .simply wonderful. In 1776, there were in North Carolina three Methodist preachers and six nun-l dred and eightythree hfembers?' 'Now there are in this State not less than five hundred Methodist preachers travel ing imd local and abou one,hjuidred and twenty thousand members. There were In the ' United States in 1776, twenty-five Methodist preachers and 4,921 members. Now there are in the United States .more than 40,000 Method ist preachers and more than 3,000,000 members. In North Carolina the Methodists and Baptists are ' about equal in numbers. Ih the United Stales there are about 300,000 Episcopalians, 1,000,000 Presbyterians, 2,000,000 Baptists and 3,000,000 Jejhodists. , All three of the denominations named above were well organized and at work in this country long before the Methodists The census of the United States for 1870 shows that the " Methodists had more than one-third bf all the church organizations; one-third of all the church edifices, nearly one-third of all the sittings and nearly one-fifth of all the church property of the United States. : This marvelous success shows the presence and operation of living and powerful forces. Methodism keeps all her churches constantly supplied with pastors, and brings the entire pastorate under annual review and thus prevents stagnation. Methodism preaches the great saving doctrines of the Bible ; in sists on experimental Godliness; a con sciousness of sins forgiven and peace with God through faith in Christ and regeneration by the Holyi(Ghost., .Her mifiitrf ae required to be men of one w wlr-sating soulsT I f the people of Charlotte will look in on this confer ence of heroic itinerants they will see one company of the "hard-riding caval ry of Zion's mighty hosts; the engineer corps; the sappers and 'miners who pre pare the way of the Lord and make strait his paths" from the sea-board to the mountains. Whether they have preached m? districts,'' stations', Circuits as missionaries, or labored in colleges and seminaries of learning, or stand as editors on the watch-towers, all have : worked hard andj the , (Vt majority, on small pay inspired by one great, glori ous aim the salvation of human souls. They have toiled in faith and their toils have not been in vain. The shouts of souls-saved from the snares of the' Devil, hareresoufided from ; ocean-beach to mountain-top. This noble band of self-sacrificing men are here to recount their toils and triumphs and to arrange for future and grander successes. We trust lb ejir stay. in purely willb pleas ant and that the sound of the Mastei'd footsteps will be heard behind them. - Increase of Southern Power at Washington.

A rash confidence of invincibil-. ity was thus engendered which tempted vain and ambitious1 aspiration for of fice. Events have proved the fallacy of. such expectations not only in severe; personal disanpointnienti but ; in wide-, spread party disaster; and the remedy, so natural in its suggestion but so diffi cult of adoption because of it restraint upon individual i motion, nowi- presents itself in the strictest adhesion to party; discipline. i This cannot be enforced too soon ; and yet it cannot be enforced unless men will recognize the need of party organi zation as a defence against the restor tion of Republican rule. The Demo-; emie ana itepu oilcan parties sxarra to day tberoTe rivals for mastery. The. National partv has gone down in the tempest it prematurely stirred up, and cannot again lift its head to excite the alarm of either the one or the other of. the older organizations. Of the two con- testing for power," the .Democratic has the advantage of popular trustfulness ;. the other has the advantage of position. It is a battle in which popular right and destinies of national harmony and na tional prosperity are arrayed against a party living upon sectional, strife, kept alive bv public plunder, and fortified by its hold upon the public purse and the public arms with an arrnory.pt defence that will be exceedingly formidable to assail and to carry. If the Democrats of North Carolina hope, to , play a-reputable part .in the contest, Wt! rmist begin .at 6n.ee with their 'preparation :, the first step of which is to- draw rigidf? the line be tween those obedient to a recognized organization, ardent, ambitious, but un selfish ; and those who use the party to- ide into place oji'tbe flood tide or its urusperity, uut renuy 10 use any rpny toreach the same $nd. It is now a matter of life and death ; of renewed vigor and usefulness, or of disruption and ignominious mf enonty, Let the alternatives be manfully recog nized ; and let the needed security be attained by a rigid exaction of party al legiance. He that is with us will do all that is asked. He that is hot' with us, is against us, and should be summarily ejected. It is needless for The Observer to say how "cordially it endorses these sen timents. STATJR NEWS, .
