PBOB WAIHDfGTOI. rcipoadeaco ofthe Hnabnrgh Gueoe. WaronoTat, Jan. 15,1850. We are getting along gloriously, having arrived at the middleofthe'.seventh week ofthe session, the House has legally and duly diosen its Speak er, Clerk, and Sergeant'll Arms. There remain to be elected, in order to perfect the organisation, a door keeper and post master. Mr. CHassbemer, whowastoday electedon the 10th beUotSer geant at Arms pj the Booae, by 107 votes against 103 for Mr. GHddingt, Whig, is a Pennsylvania Democrat, who baa been {or r. number of yean em ployed in the Clerk’s office.’ I think I have heard that he was*Sergeant at Arms in one or the other Honse ofyoar State Legislature, during the fa mous campaign, called the buck shot war. To morrow, 1 presume, the two other subor dinate officials will be elected, and then poasibly the House may gel to business, but there is no security for any thing of the kind. In the Senate, the Democrats owned op to the maixß, and quietly permitted the resolution over throwing their famoos law for restricting the coat ofcoUecting the revenue to $1,560,000, by* allow, ing the necessaryexpenditore of seven or eigbthand red thousand pass. Mr. Bradbury,of Maine, then made a speech two or three hours long upon his resolution, calling upon the Executive to fur nish the Senate with reasons and arguments for .the removals that hare been made. It is r a good enough theme to talk uponded when the Senate has nothiag better to do, it might be well eaoagh to act, but Governor Bradbury is one of those gen* tlcmen who bear a higV-repuiation.. &r courtesy and amiability, but who would not aet the Poto mao on fire, if they thundered within the gates of the capltol to the crack of doom. The organ for such a pur ‘pose—contains Bayly’s defence of hia neglect to call the Committee of Waya and Means; together for the transaction of business. The gist of the defence is, that nothing has been referred to the committee, ao that it baa no foundation for its cc lion. There are two points, however, upon which Bayly, speaking by his next friend Thomas Ritch ie, does not enlighten hit anociateej of the com mittee, ortho Honse, or the pobb’e. They are, first —whose iauit is it that nothing has beesi referred to the committee? and secondly, is not the com mittee empowered to act in tha preparation ofthe appropriation bills, wtthoot. specific instructions from the Honse. The rules of the House make it the duty of the committee to proceed at once to prepare the ap propriation bills, and ihey.acl upon the data con tained in the annual estimates of appropriations laid, before the Honse on the first day ofits assem bling, ;aod those bills must be reported within thir ty days after the appointment of the committee. If Bayly had moved to refer these estimates, it would have been done. For any other member to have done it, wonld have been an act of discourtesy.* Among the objects to be effected by-this extraordinary dels;, no doubt, is the pro traction of the heavy financial butiness of the ses sion, to ao late a period as to render any modifica tion ofthe Tariff impracticable,, and generally to embarrass the administration in respect to the war, and all its other proposed measures. I am glad to be able to pronounce the story of the recallofMr.Sqnier,Charge to Central Amer ica, unfounded and gratuitous, as Mr. Benton says, in his replies to Calhonn, The difficulty between our Government and Great Britain is in a train of adjustment, aai infer from the best, information I can obtain in premises. All claim to Tigre Is land will be abandoned by Great Britain, and it will be surrendered up to the United States. But this will bnly.be done by way. of reparation for the insolent and unwarranted conduct of the British agent ChatfieW, in seising the Island. As it is not considered of any particular importance by onr Government, it will be. returned to the pos session and jurisdiction of Nicaragua, or what ever other State iljostly belongs to. Not only is there no intention of recalling Mr. Squier, but his vigorous, prompt and efficient measures in protecting the rights of his government and its citizens, has been highly commended, although it has not been judged expedfeat to retain the little Island acquired by him. It is conceded, how ever, that by negotiating for the cetiion of it, at the time be did, be completely defeated the designs of Chat&pld, who was preparing to aeixe it; and had he done ao before the session to the United States, he would have held it, past all peradventure.

Tils Chareh Union Controversy. I have before me tbeGaxette of 15th inti., in which I notice an article on Church Union, siyned ‘‘lnvestigator* I would say to “Investigator,” be sure of your frets. He informs us that a plan of Union was devised in 1801, between-Preabyteriana and Congregation alista in the new settlements to ‘‘promote harmony and prevent alienation,” all this is right: here I have no controversy with “Investigator;” but took a little further, where he informs os thst “It was not a Union ratified between the General Presby terian Church, as a church, sod the Congregation -lif, bqt only a union between the individuals of each sect in the new settlements, for the purpose of rendering more efficient support to the ministry, and promoting kind feelings between those who were considered the same in doctrine, though not in discipline.* I wish the reader to remember two things in the above extract: Ist, Thst £he onion was not formed with the ohnrch, as a church, but with individuals, dec. Now, I assert that the Union was formed by the higher, authority known in the church: on the Presbyterian side by the General Assembly,' and on the other side by ao association composed of ministers and laymen, duly chosen and met together for the-traasaction of their own business. The Union was first pro posed by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church; it was endorsed and reindorsed from time to time for 34 years, and was the settled policy ofthe church, without aqueatinn ar to its correct ness, until 1835. In thst year, the General As sembly asked a repeal of the union, promising thst the repeal should not injuriously operate upon churches already formed under it. (I quote from memory.) What followed? In lS36,„the newachool had the majority in the Assembly; in 1837,the old echoed happened to have the all aul re-* member this extraordinary year of bank fsilores and money embarraesmenis; many of the diftr.r.t Presbyterians were not at the meeting of the A-* lembly. Dr. Breckenridge informed the A wcitibiy that they then had the power, and if they did not : use It they might possibly never have it sgoic. (I again quolo from memory, not having the doca meats at hand.) The Assembly did nsethe powei, and nearly one half of the church were cat off at one blow; more than this, the Geoeral Assembly caused the famous excesion acts to have a retro* spectiva operation; they not only declared that all the Churches, Presbyteries, Synods, fee., that had come in ouder this plan ol anion, to be oat of the chareh, bat all their acts void tram the tw ginning. Suppose Gen. Jackson, who was so decided an' enemy ofthe U. S. Bsok, should have<pereuaded Congress to pass such a law respecting that once powerful institution, it would have been a parallel case. Now, do thete] facts bear out “investigator,” in his statement, that the agreement was with indi viduals—have these individuals done all this, or the Church, <u a CAurch, the smallest child will answer, I need not. Investigator would fain have us ihiqk thst it was aa individual agreement. I think it was with the Chunk, sod have proved it. 2d. I wish the reader to look at the words following, vis that the other party to this nnion (the Congregationalisi,) “were considered the same in doctrine.” Thst is right, they were the same in doctrine, and are yet Now I wish to ask how Mr. ‘-Investigator” knows that they were heretical: does proof, or have.the Assembly proof—none, not a shadow of it—did thay attempt to try any member of the four here* ticaf Bynod*—no, not [one. They did arraign two clergymen, one in Phi ladeiphla, and tbs other in Cincinnati, but so barefaced was the prosecution against there Godly men, thst aome of their own leaders could not coQdemnthex. Dr. Miller, who, during bis life, ttood at the head of the list, was one-wbomthe writer remembers conld not vote that tbfcvßev. A. Barnes was a heretic. I con tend that the same that was done io 1837, may be done again, when nay man, or Church, becomes obnoxious to a party, that party can, on the came principle, bring to bear upon hit, or their necks, this famous ExcisiooActs—bang first, and try him afterwards. What would the old Pnntsns, who landed on Plymouth rock, say to such proceed* logs—they came here for liberty; has not religious liberty been sadly encroached upon by this aet. I think ii has,. In 1839, the Old School Geoeral Assembly passed Acts, such as the following: Thst when O. S. minorities existed, cither in the Church, cr Presbytery, or Synod, such minorities were to be the Prcsbyterys Synod,*&a Thereby overriding the majority. See this carried ont in the ease of the Erie at the Session of the Pittsburgh Synod, in the autumn ol 1639. For the Pittsburgh Gaaette. Vlxfftmft*. The Fredericksburg Recorder, in some statistics on the population of that State, says: ' The white population of Eastern Virginia had between 1630 and 1840Avrsaurf. 19inevery 1000 The slaves ....50 “ 1000 The white population of Western Virginia, io (he same time, had increased 167 u 1000 And the slaves increased 0n1y... 5 *• 1000 Tbe above statement, of (he correctnei of which every reader may satisfy himself by turning lo the eensQs'of 1830 aad 1840, giVe an encouraging view of (he progress sod prospects of the “Old Dominion." No doubt tbe ceoeds of 1890 will pre sect that noble Stale m a still more gratifying light. It is hoped that tbe decrease of the xokiu pop ulation in Eastern Virginia will have almost or qnite ceased, and tbe dtertatc-oi the alavea will be foand lo have gone on at an accelerated pace. While In Western increase of the white population will be found to have gone on, not only, at an equal, bote more rapid rale; and the slave population willpftbably be found to have increased even leu rapidly than during the pre ceding ten yean. Under such circumstances, it is neither wild nor visionary to predict that Western Virginia will, -within a period not very tong, become a asperate and a free state. Even's! this day, li can say, from an intimate knowledge of a considerable portion of Western Virginia, that I know no section of country where an industrious and enterprising poor man can find e happier, healthier, or more promising home- A PENNSYLVANIAN.

Everett & (So. still occupiesconsid erable attention among oar Wesleyan friends —though the excitement seems to have somewhat subsided. A letter from Dr. Campbell in tbe Wesleyan Times states that his “excellent friend, Mr. Dunn, stands en gaged” to preach every Sunday morning during this year at the Tabernacle. Dr. C. is the pastor of that church, where Mr. Whitefield formerly preached. Thejdissenters have given a great deal of -aidand comfort to the egpeiled minister*. There are some, ‘however, that think it prodent to let the Wesleyan*alone in their trouble*. “A mem ber of the Evangelical Alliance,” writing in the Watchman, states that a highly respect, ed Independent minister waa lately waited upon by a deputation, with the earnest request that he would sanction the use of his Chap' el . being given for a meetiig of aympathix -1 ea with the three minister! expalled by the late Conference. The reverend gentleman replied: “ I must settle several questions to the Kitieiaction of my own mind and con* science, before I accede to your request:—* Ist, I it ant thoroughly understand the whole Meihodi-t constitution before I can decide that 30 or Qonference has, In this instance, 'violated that constitution. 2nd, I most be coma possessed of full and accnrate infor* •matipn-as to all the circumstances affecting in any way the Christian and ministerial 1 character of these three Ministers, ere I can form a correct judgment as to whether they have been unrighteously dealt with. 3ra, On the Malposition, even shonld I allow this, that they hare suffered undeservedly, then I must satisfy my own mind that the course they are pursuing, in travelling about to proclaim their own righteeusness before large and mixed assemblages, is the best and mo? t Christian. I think, had the case been m y own, I should Bave waited patient ly., and committed my way unto the Lord, till he brought forth my righteousness as the light, and that this would have been more dignified, and tended more directly to secure a good result. 4th, I must farther, after due examination, ascertain that it is my duty, as an Independent Minister, to throw my in fluence into tho disputes of a sister Church. Now, to consider all these questions would occupy more time than I can venture to di vert from my evident arid momentous du ties. 1 believe Christ does not call me to it, and I must, therefore, 'decline mixing my self up with this p;ihapp)- : agitatioQ.” L Pa. Bv.vting ifru Mr. Hoole.— ln derend :ing the.character.oLsorrie of the leading men jof the Wesleyamcorinection,- at a missiona jry meeting in’ Leeds, the Key. W. Arthur ’bore tne following te.-tirabnytd the disinter estedness of Dr. Bunting ami Mr. HooIp: 11 Fifty- years ago Dr. Bunting was in the town ol Manchester, with a widowed-moth er. He was then the pupil of Dr. Percival, the raos: eminent physician of thattown.— •It was proposed that he should be a Metho dist minister, but Dr. Percival took sueb an interest in hU fumre prospects, that he told him that he should have his diploma in Lon don without any expense, audriie further un dertook to introduce him to a practice in Man chester of £7OO a year, with a prospect of extension. But his mother and himself had that love to Methodism to sacrifice this flat tering offer. Dr. Bunting had served Meth odism for fifty years, and, year by year, he has been sacrificing for himself and his fam ily, say five hundred pounds in the shape of income. And, during all this time, he has seen first one, and then another, go off from Methodism, some to the Church and some to the Dissenters. He has seen one individ ual begin with Methodism, at the same time as'himself, and now sitting calmly and com fortably, thepastorof an Independent church with a salary of £Bo# a year. There is another of these interested men, whose name I ought hot to omit—l allude to Mr. Hoole. I know that about ten years ago, the East India Company—the most munifi cent masters in tho world—offered to Mr. Hoole the professorship of Tamul. The du ties w.ere exceedingly light, and he had an opportunity of making a salary of "£BOO to £l,OOO avear, but certainly £800; and he, Sir, iti order to fill on office labor aud responsibility, made his bow to the East India Company, and continued in the posi tion of our Financial Secretary. When tnese aretholacts, if some unknown men, in a newspaper, will get up au attack upon min isters liK.e those 1 have mentioned, charging them with boing interested and unscrupulous, are the great Methodist people of England to loierato it?” Death or Mr. Miller. —The papers re cord that Mr. Miller, of Low Hampton, New York, somewhat celebrated for nia views respecting the nearness of the advent, died at his residence, the 20th nit., in his 68th year. He waa.bom at Pittsfield, in New York, February 15, 1782. It is said that he was recorded with much affection by his no*4nbors,'wba esteemed him as benevolent man, and a kind neighbor. For many years ho was a most assiduous Htudent ol history arid the .Scriptures, in the study of which be bdeame impressed with a con'yic.ion that the fifth monarchy predicted by Daniel to be given to the people of the Bairns «f the Most High, under tbp whole heaven, for an ‘'ererlasrlug possession, was about to oe con smemeted. It becoming, known that he entertimed theseviews, pe was importuned by many to write out his opinions, sad af terwards to defend them in public. After refusing bo to do for many years, be at length complied, and has been principally known to tno public as a lecturer on pro phec}'. Ho was disappointed iu the fulfil ment of Uh expectation in 1843, and came oat the next year with on “Apology and De fence,” ' acknowledging the want of accura cy in his chronological calculations, but claiming that the nalcra and nearness of tHo event! was still sustained by Scriptural evi denced In tnut belief, he has since lived and died—worn out with the infirmities of age. He was doubtless a sincere and de voted ■ man, but his example famisht* an illustration additional to innumerable others in the history of the church, of the dangers of a rasn promulgation of uncertain opinions. Incalculable evUs have resulted from'his course, but still it must be borne in mind that much of them is attributable rather to bis followers than himself.—Zion's Herald. Censorship or the Press in Italt,—A correspondent of tho N. V. Observer, de scribing “Romaniem as seen at Rome,” sayy <; Tiie strict censorship of the press is Italy is a direct obstacle to the expression of mind. It j? impossible to publish any thin" opposed to the' peculiar prejudice of the Church, or indeed a lair discussion of any point on which it has expressed its opinion: and fortunate is the luckless writor who at- 1 tempts it, if he escapes with the suppres sion oi his book. The strictness of the ec clesiastical control of the press in Itely, passes the belief of an Amariaan. I hive heard of one author, whose book, perfectly orthodox in other respects, was condemned because it contained two lines from Camp bells “Pleasures of Hope.” " Tha world was sad f—the garden vu a wild! And mao, the hermit, sighed—till woman smiled.’ Jn these apparently innocent words, the sharp sighted clerical functionaries who watched over Iho press, saw .a /tovert attask on the (elibacy oj the clergy ! The institutions of the church wore in jeopardy. .Every possible restriction is also placed on the introduction of foreign books and pa pers. On entering the lipal States,, the VavoUer’s luggage is carefully searchedfor them. 1 have heard of a gentleman who had some Paris editions of the Italian poett, with him, and they were refused admission on account of their foreign dress. Each of us bears within himself a world unknown to his* fellow beings, and each may relate of himself a history resembling tbat #1 every one, yet like that of no one.
