Brother as you are aware, it now with us.
We feel that a kind providence directed bira hith
er. Never were we, in this place, or throughout
tha Territory, more in need of men of his qualifi
cations for the ministry than at this time. Would
that our, friends at tha East end the West ivould
think of the vast difference between the influence
exerted in the Redeemer's kin clc m by well qualified
minister, and that of those wLd ars hot thus
qualified. ' Are there not some ministers at the
East, known by others to possess the requisite qoal
fications, who can be induced to come into this re
gion! & The amount of good they could do here at
this time, for the present and future prosperity of
Zion, eternity alone can reveal. Other denomina
tions are making strong, and some of them, praise
worthy efforts; Romanism and other false religions
are taking hold upon the people with a strong
grasp j vice ana immorality abound every wnere j
and our character as a people is fast forming. Of
.what infinite importance is it that we should en

Tbe ihtnireii taws are, of course, such as are found

The uninnpini laws are such as may have been a
dopted by the churches; for the government and direc
tion of the same j but all in accordance with the funda
mental law of the Bcnptores, ; The latter, although; not
binding in the same sense as divine commands, are nev

thority that can be claimed by any social- organization.
The difference between these and the former is this :

- Many persons appear to think that ministers are
so much needed at the; West,- that quite ordinary
and; indeed very inefficient ones, such as find it
difficult to secure situations at' the East,, will be
very acceptable there. A greater mistake cannot
easily be made. ' Doubtless there are obscure
neighborhoods there, as elsewhere, partially settled
by honest, simple-hearted people, who, during their
incipient arrangements for ai livelihood, consider it
a blessing to enjoy the privilege of public worship
under very bumble circumstances; but the minds
which are influenced by such motives, as induced
them to plunge into the depths of political cud pe
cuniary enterprise prevelent in that, region, and
which are actively employed in giving tone topub-
lic' sentiment and feeling, minds which are strong
and active in the investigation of principles and
their bearing Upon the various interests of society,
are not to be moved by the weak and. imperfect
efforts of men who cannot gain influence elsewhere.
As at tbe East, so at the West, those ministers of
any denomination who have succeeded in gaining
the miluence wnicn ; is essential, to the proper
moulding of the public character are strong men j
and such only can succeed m the same way any
where.
Some say there are ministers enough at the West

Tbe written laivra are those , found on record in the
Old and New Testaments so far as they are applicable
to the action ot cbutchc s, or to the conduct of individ
uals. To these may be added whatever of a legal or
preceptive nature may be found in the constitutions or
deliberations of the churches themselves. Thus, for ex.
ample, the ten commandment of the . Old i' Testament,
and the moral and religious precepts of the JNew, may
be regarded as specimens of the former and all the
constitutional provisions of the churches, whether found
in their constitutions or in the journals of their proceed
ings may be regarded as specimens of the latter. ?
The unwritten laws are those which may; be justly
mlerred from laws that are written; and, as before ob
served, may pertain to the Old and New TcsJarr.enis, or
Jo the constitutional legislation of the churches. Buchi

II the South must cling to and cherish slavery, in
preference to every thing else, and had assigned as the
reason of her withdrawal, that the conflict of opinion
on that subject had become so strong and violent as"-to
lender a continuance of the.uulon painful and inexpet

soundness br sufficiency of the reason. Cut when the
South, as the ground of sejaration, alleges that ber
rights have been infringed, that power has been usurp
ed, and trust violated, and discluifges her Parthian ar
rows at the Acting Board, she puts herself 'decidedly in
the wrong.and takes a position whichis not defensible,
