We are indebted to the au;hor for a copy '

from other primed and ir.inu-ci:pt sources of !

now, they nuinber :i."0i preachers and l.llnn,
(HiO members. That their ministers were
abundant" in works, is evident from the
fact that one, Jeremiah Vard-tnan, baptized
about 8,100 believers Jarti-R his long and en
ergetic ministry. Their fir.-t zrammur sehocd
was originated by Kaac Katon, A. M., at
Hopewell, X. J-, in llofi, and their llr-a t.'nl
lege (now Brown I'niverMiyJ was projected
by Pennsylvanian-, in r.ill. Since then, al
though few of her ministers have been fa
vored with a liberal education, this branch of
the church has not been without most honor
able representatives in every department of
literature and of business, as well as foremost
in home and foreign evangelization.
Gen. Wismstiriix (see p.ige I"") in a letter
to Uol. Samuel liarrias, of Va-, bears testimo
ny that the Baptists -have been, throughout
America uniformly, and almost unanimous- .
ly the firm friends lo c'uil liberty, and the !
persevering promoters of our glorious Uevo
lulion." Only one preacher w as known to
oppose the work, and he was dropped into re
tirement. Of ihe handfull of their preachers, i
John (Jano, David J ones, Hezekiah Stniih,
Charles Thompson, Kdinnud Botsford and
Burgess Allison six named in this volume,
were Chaplains, and several others were Of
ficers or Soldiers, in that War of Revolution.
David Jones served again as Chaplain in the
war of 1812.
But the denomination were most distin
guished for iheir efforts in behalf i f rtliui",is
freedom. Rhode Island, under Roger Wil
liams, was the first fstate to grant full "soul
liberty" as a divine right, while in many of
the Slates there remained impositions and bur
dens upon the sects not of the "standing or
der," which the people of our day can not ap
preciate. Oolite a number noted in this wot k,
acted as Members of State Legislatures, and

of Kings. His lile was so pure, and such his
personal majesty, and grace and earnestness

" s '
Annals:
Mr. Montanye was distinguished for his pa-
triolism; and, when the War of ISIS with
(Ireat Uritain broke out, he was on the alert
tor the defence of his country. Having re-
cived a Chaidain
's commission, he sallied
nn the banks of the Dela-
ware. His clerical labors there proved high-
ly acceptable and salutary. On one occasion,
particularly, he had an opportunity of exhibit-

A iener.tl

"order of the day." lie i.dJ his friends that
this military exercise mul not take plare ui
the hour ol put!ic worship. He then procee
ded lo ihe juaiirs uf ihe tieneral in com

and courteous manner, that he had held a

Four coloied men, born slaves, receive
most respectful attention, in this volume, from
U-v. Drs. liramley, Tnstin, Krebs, and J'ay
l.r. LoU('aryand Colin Teacup, of Virgi
nia, were very u-eful Cidnnists, Carey havii.j
fomK'd Monrovia, and died acting (Juver
nor of Liberia. Jacob Walker and Andrew
Marshall were eminent mimsuTs in (Jei-raia.
The latter was listened to with much interest,
by educated whites, when 1 Oil years old : he
was once prosecuted for preaching without
proper civil -'license," and thunqh his vlV lice
was un ieniabty proven, he was acquiucd, one
of the Jury saying that "No (ieoria Jury can
punish a man for preaching the i'o pel !"

JOHN LKL.WO
a self-educated native of Massachusetts, pop
ular both as a preacher and as a politician,
of marked simplicity a:idlrar,knes in all his
dealings, earnest and successful iu his" pur
suits, an ! who, after prachins f years, prir
cipally in Virginia an I Massachusetts, died
in the la'ter iiate, in IS!l,aged s7 j'ears. X,
death occurred in his 1kiu-c, alihongh he
reared ten children, until, alter 01 years of
married life, the partner of his pilgrimage
was first called home. He desired to be bur
ied without parade, plainly ; with only the
followmg Epitaph on his tombstone:
"Here lies ihe bodv of Jim?? Lr.Ln, who
labored years to promote piety, anil vindi
cate the civil and re;igious rights of all men. '
This epitaph pives a complete history of
the man. He emphatically hborrd for these
ends, and "we have entered into his labors."
It is staled in Lnwm scrmnn on "Htfig'nus
Liberty" lhat Leland was often in Mr. Jeffer
son's room while the latter was writing the
l)eciara:ion of Independence, and it i certain
that he was a warm personal friend of JciVer- :
son, Madison, Arc, and an earnest and effec
tive actor in settling the foundations of our
Government. i

In the Course ot the ulteriiooii, I told him
that i had recently seen in the public prints
an extract from an Lulogy delivered by J.
Harbour, of Virginia, upon the character of
James Madison ; that Darbour had said that
the credit of adopting the Constitution of ihe
tinted States properly belonged to Leland;
and he rear tie a his conclusion tn this way
he said, that li Madison had not been in the
Virginia Convention, the Constitution would
not have been ratified by lhat Mate; and, as
the approval of nine Nates was required to
give tiled to this instrument, aid as V irgmia
was the iiiniu State, if it had been rejected by
her, Ihe Constitution woud have l.tiled; and
trial it was by Klder Leland's influence that
Madison was elected to that Con veiilioii.
He replied thai Haibour had given him too
, credit: but he
upposed be knew to
what he relnied. He then gave this history
of ihe matter: Soon after ihe Convention,
which liauied the Constitution of the I'uiied i
Mates, had finished their wolk, and submitted
it to tlie pet. pie iuT their actum, two siron j
and active p.iitits weie formed in the Mile of (
Virginia, i'ii the subject 1 1 its adoption. The ,
Male was nearly equally divided. One party f
was opposed to its adoption, unless ceitaiu ;
