Compared with this, the Presidency of the Convention is of small moment And could any member uf the Convention, or of any constituent member of that body, consent to deprive himself, or any of his brethren of this privilege, this benefit, because of his holding a spe cies of property, which would not, even in the judgment of the Board itself, disfranchise him of n right to meaibership in t!e church militantor the church triumphant, to the office of the Minis- try of the Gospel or to a seat ut the right hand of God ! How inconsistent then is the decision of the Board with its own declared recognition of our social equality in all the privileges and benefits of the Foreign Missionary! Uuion I w But rthe Board says : "The appointing power, for wise and good reasons, has been confided to the Acting Board." And, therefore, in the exercise of this power, it finds authority to nullify the Con stitution under which it is appointed, and to dis regard the' instructions of the body, which has given it its existence, j Thus in the exercise of a power "confided" to the Board, that body discov ers the authority not only to exercise a power not "confided to it," but one also that virtually destroys the authority of the body, from whom it has re- ea of our feeble efforts to do in arrest of their pro gress, and in prevention of the catastrophe, has been donebut all in vain. I therefore, bow ub- wjr iu tiic ctirminjj piuwiutiiv-c ui umt WHO makeih darkness his pavilion, and i)e; thick clouds his chariot, and am ready for the e vent. The fact, that the recent decision of the Actinjf Board was token about the timp that the letters of the "Author of the Moral Sci ence," in reply to the first letter of our own Ful- was called.

And when too they should know PuuFs conduct, exemplify iujr these lenchings in the case of Oucsimus, the runaway slave of Philemon, whom he sent back to his master, even after hi conversion to Christianity Thc Author of the Moral Science," Evidently makes a mistake, then, in supposing, tliat the absence rf a precept prohibitory of tslaverw'is all tlmt th New Tt. ler, now doubly ours, were being closed, and that I ment affords in furor of its support. uu. um ion wa, puuu.neu, , m me very able Thers is nnuthcr mistake, into which some of replies of the latter to the former were in a court of publication, and that the decision itelf was reached in violation of constitutional provisions nnJ declaratory instructions, leave no doubt in my mind,' that the time has arrived, when we of the South and South West should withdraw our con nexion from' our Northern Brethren in the Mis sionary enterprise at home mid abroad, and form a separate organization for the prosecution of this noble work. .;"',. i It may not be improper at this point, briefly to review the ground, on which we stand in the pre sent controversy with our Northcn brethren, and to notice the mistaken views of those, who would remove us from it, or failing, hold us unworthy of their fellowship, and drive us from the privi lege of mutual concert in benevolent eftorts.' God gave, to tho Jews, authority to purchase bond men and bond women of the heathen around them, and of the children of the strnngers that so- cetved the appointment to exercise any power at , journod among them, ns an inheritance for, them ail. it is hot ditiicuit to see, in the decision oi j an; article, the Gth, re el the privileges and benefits sionary Union.

It was, therefore, of. force and exercised in the days of the Saviour. He reproved them for many of their sins. He taught them, that polygamy, though tolerated among them, was wrong, and restricted the right of divorce, though practised at pleasure, to one cause only; but touched not the subject of do mestic slavery. x The Apostles were instructed to tench the dis ciples nil thi gs which the Savior had command is agcni, u ii t i siihu give na niiici uii iu iiwi utu t ,i t ... , , ... , . r . j .. t i ed them, ana were endowed with the gifts of the u wou.u cm proper, u.emorennu more P.

" tontmues the Acting Board, uwe can never be a party fo any arrangement, thatvwouid imply ap- probation of slavery." By this decision, this a- ge.it has placed itself m direct opposition to the Convention, and its declaratory resolution. The reason given for this extraordinary decisior v thH"The appointing power, for wise and goo ! Convention, to refer this whole matter to the de cision of that body, before we? take any further steps. But, Jet it be remembered, that two whole years must pass away before this can be don, and that we have no remedy in the mean time. For, altho igh, we have a general Board, that meets remembrance, that He had taught them " These men, with the first disciples, were Jews. Pe'.er, to whom the Aposllesbip of the circumcision was committed, thus teaches the Jewish converts: "Servants" (household slave,) "bo subject to your masters, w.ith all fear, not only to the good and gentl but to the froward."

And if we should desire an extra call of the Convention, it would be in vain, for this is wholly in the hands of the Acting Board, as will appear from the following article of the Constitution: "Art. 15. It shall be the duty of the President to call a special meeting of the Conven tion, on application of the Board," and as by the determination of the Convention, at its last meet ing, the management of the whole Missionary j thus teaches both the Jewish and the Gentile con- vertSTLet n-inanyservants as are tinder the yoke, count their own masters worthy of nil hon- ) or, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.

But nt what time hat God any where taught slaveholders to emancipate their slaves 1 No where, and at no lime. With the Abolition ists then, the time of crating to forbear in this rase, i nere matter of opinion nnd not of faith. And for this opinion tie will agitate the earth, dis sever churches, break up holy combinations of brethren, which have for near the third of a cen tury been owned nnd blessed of God in exteudioj! the triumphs of the Cross at home and abroad, and diffusing the light of holy truth to millions of our racei I have gone into this brief review for the punfow; of setting before you the entire improba bility of ony relief from our present dilemma, in any thing that may be expected from the General Missionary Convention two rcirs hence. The tenure, by which we hold our slaves, is misunderstood by our Northern brethren. From the influence of this misapprehension arises their course of action. We have endeavored to inform them on this point. But we have attempted it iu vain. The and Meredith of North Car olina, the clear-headed and argumentative Mell of Georgia, the learned, eloquent and lofty Fuller of S. Carolina, have all attempted to-renwve this misapprehension, but m rain. We had hoped, that the number of those, who had labored under this misapprehension, was small. and relied with confidence upon a larger number of our brethren, whom we regarded as rnodernte men.' The Actmg Board of Foreign Missions espec'ally had received our entire confidence. But alas! overwhelmed by irresistible influences. that Body has yielded to the pressure around them. Whilst all this is being done, vl letter is published in the Reflector, in Boston, one of the Lc right however in any one of us to conrent ft continue in the Convention, when it should invrJr a violation of principle 1 Surely not. We have, in the Scripture, an example in point. -(To be continued) WILLIAM B. JOH NSON, Piesident of thz ConverjUtn. PAOU KOSUHEST. Froni S'.erman D4jrji nr tr work.

The action, commonly known a the "AiT-lr mi the Pooli, and sometimes as the Ma Mere of P oli, took place on the night of the 20ih Septen bcr, 1777, at a place about a mile south of th Warren tavern, on the Lancaster turnpike, and at least two miles south-west from the Paoli tav ern.

And surely, these disciples could not, by the closest scrutiny of these scriptures, conjecture even, that they tvere. requir ed by the religion, tliat they had just professed, to emancipate their slaves,-and particularly as both Jewish and Gentile converts were received tvith their slaves into the fellowship of saints and; the membership of the christian church. The relation of master and slave, too, was as fully recognized, as the relation of husband and wife, of parent and child, and the duties of the parties to these rela tions were all enjoined with equal clearness. Thus far we see nothing like sin charged upon slave holders. In this state of things, the canon of scripture, Which is n complete whole, closes. W hat then is the instruction, that we derive from P J lor a Foreign Misiminrv . . -a - j and to nroinote their od . . appointment, to ex- n views of the sub- ary yz of slavery, in a proper manner and spirit.

Un der the existing circumstances of this case then. there is no ground of hope, that the board will request the President to call a special meet ing of the Convention. Hence we are with out constitutional remedy, in the present case, for two whole years. In this state of things, it is natural Jto expect, that the contributions to the Treasury of the. Bap tist Bdard of Foreign Missions, will be withheld by Soiithern and South Western Baptists, because they can no longer repose confidence in a body of men, who, though appointed to promote the ob jects of the Conven'ion, so materially differs from them in the construction of its constitutional pro visions. Something, therefore, must be done, and that, too, without unnecessary delay. A new channel must be created, through which the - lib erality of Southern and South Western Baptists shall flovv, that its streams may go forth to evan gelize the world. Already have the funds of our Alabama and Virginia brethren been withheld I j from the treasury of the Board of Missions.;: : And it is in the hearts of thousands of their brethren to do. the same thing. Something, I repeat it, must be done, and done w'thout unnecesssary de lay. The liberal feelings of our brethren of the South and Sjuth West, must not be permitted, through want of a proper channel for their course, to stagnate and dry tip. The heathen must not be permitted - to perish, through our neglect to sepd them the word of life. Daty to God, to our fellow men, to ourselves, demands an immedi ite entrAnce upon a work of a Southern and South Western organization for Missionary, and other benevolent objects. Would to Gvxl, it could be pre vented on enuitable nrinciples. But facts forbid the ..... i- . hope. ' ' I have been brought to this conclusion by slow and painful 6teps. It was my privilege my hon or to be associated with that noble band of men, who organized the General Missionary Convention of our denomination in 18H, now nearly thirty one vears since. . Uuder the fostering care of God, the success of the enterprize then 'undertakenvhas been w'onderfuliy glorious, and,! had almost indul ged the hope, that "esto perpetual might be safely written upon its destiny. But now, when bur union should be closer, our counsels more matured, and our labors more effective, there comes an aw ful irrumion upon us, cleaving the body 1n twain Its indications were at fiist smaUbut they have enlarged and multiplied. What jt was in the pow organs, it is believed of the Board, from Mr. Ma son, one of our Missionaries, to Mr. Tappan, Treasurer of the A. and Foreign Anti-Slavery So ciety, containing the following sentence : have, therefore, the pleasure to enclose an order for ten dollars on our Treasurer, which I will thank you to pay over to the committee in New York, to as sist in the escape of runnciy slaves." More than six weeks have elapsed since this Utter reached the knowledge of the Board, yet we have not seen expressed by that Body, the slightest disapproba tion of this immorality of the Missionary. We learn, from the late Address of the Provis ional Committee of the Baptist Anti-Sfavery Con vention, that, "The Missionaries in Barman once had it tinder consideration to request the Board to deduct from their scanty salaries the prohible amount secured from slave labor.". When all things nre considered, I repeat it, thero is no just hope of relief from the main difficulty, in referring the decision of the Acting Board, of which we complain, to the General Missionary Convention. It is not to be expected that that these facts in relation to domestic slavery 1 That', body will disapprove of the decision of its Board. sin t No. Far from it. What But" should it disapprove of the decision of that nsent, such disapproval will not change the opin ion of the great body of its constituency in the North. And when we consider thatsa intelligent raruers lerry, out sent Uen. Wavne. with 1503 men, to join Gen. Smallwood. and annor lha rear of the enemy, who was posted near Tredyf- ' no cuurcii. Wayne lad encamped in a very retired nosi- ttar, near the present monument, and at some dis tance from the public roads. The British ener- a i, receiving iniormaiion irora traitors wlio knew every defile in the neighborhood, and every more- ment oi.tne republican troops, detached Gen. Gray, a brave and desperate but cruel officer, m cut off Wayoe's party. Stealing his way through the woods, and up the narrow defile below tht Paoli, he drove in the American pickets,and rushed in upon the camp. The assailants were received with several close and desperate fires, which must have done great execution; but the American troops were compelled by superior numbers tore trnt. The number of Americans killed and wounded in this battle amounted to 150. Gen. Gray, it is said, had ordered his troops to gire no quarter. "Many victims were massacred with ruth less barbarity, after resistance on their nart hA ! ceased. The cry for ouarter was nnheVl i- British bayonet did its work with unpittying fero city." It is said by some that the enemy set fire to straw in th camp, and torturing many sick and wounded victimvwho were unable to escape the flames. The whole American corps must have been cut ofl; if-Wayne had not preferred his coo'nes. He promptly rallied a few regiments, w!.o withstood the shock of the encmyi and cot ered the retreat of the others. When this attack commenced, Gen. Smallwood wis abend? within o mile oi toe Leld ol battle; and had he com manded troops to be allied opon,mlgbl htve gir en a very different turn to the night. But his nw mihtia, falling in with a party returning from the pursuit of Wayne, instantly fled in confusion. A few persons are yet living who assisted in bu rying the dead; but 03 were found on the field, whose todies were decently interred by the neigh boring farmers in one grave, immediately adjoin ing the scene of action. On the 20ih of September, 1S17 being the Mb anniversary of the massacre, a monument was erected over the remains of those gallant men by the Republican Artillerists of Chester county, aid ed by the contributions of their fellow citizens It is composed of white marble, and is a pedestal surmounted by a pyramid. Upon the four sides of the body of the pedestal, are appropriate inscrip tions. It has often been said, even by so:ne A mcrican historians, that this affair was a surprise. A court martial, convened by Washington at Gen. VayneV urgent request, within a few weeks after 1 the affiir, decided, after mature investigation, that ne oia every intng that could be expected from an active, brave, and vigilant officer, under the orders which he then had. DISCOVERY OP A SINGULAR CAVE IN MISSOUREL A Missouri paper states that a farmer has dis covered, between Glasgow and Cooper's Bsttom, a very extraordinary cave in a hill near his place In removing the dirt, he discovered a wall built of stone, evidently by human bands, and on removing -part, found an entrance to the cave, which he pen- and respectable an Agent as is the Acting Board j etrated to the distance of 300 yards.
