he Chicago Theological Seminary.—Dr.
Rice.
Mr t. EDITOR:—There is to be a Seminary
for the North-West, in connexion with our
Church. This may be taken as "a fixed
fact." On many accounts, we should rejoice
that it is so. Let all bye-Bones, then, be bye-
_ones; and let there be a hearty and united
ffort to promote the success of the new In-
Atution. It has a noble field of influence
before it, and it will be sustained by as true-
Ilearted men as there are in the Church. It
will stand on the common ground occupied
by our body, as to all things, slavery included;
that is, it will be anti-slavery and anti•aboli-
It will hold to the action of the Gen-
etal Assembly of 1818, and also to that of
1845. At any rate, thus its position is re•
girded by your present correspondent; and,
he believes, by the brethren generally in the
North•VTcst.
Anxious to promote its success, many of
its friends will probably think of the name
of Dr. Rice, for one of its vacant Chairs.
This noxination may, perhaps, take some by
surprise, in view of certain newspaper dis
cussions; but it is here made, nevertheless,
after some reflection upon what has taken
place. As to all that has been unpleasant,
let it all pass away. The facts remain, that
the present Professors in the Seminary, and
the g entleman now named for a third Chair,
.Are all men of eminent qualifications for the
work—men of acknowledged standing among
their brethren, and men of undoubted loyalty
to our mother, the Old School Church.
They may differ, in some respects, in their
views of slavery; but not in their views of
Gospel doctrine and Church order, nor in
heir devotedness to the extension of the
.gospel in all parts of the land, and of the
world.
The chief objection to the plan of putting
these brethren in the same Faculty, will
probably be the apprehension that the sub
ject of slavery would be a disturbing element
amongst them. But this may well be doubt.
ed ; for, in the first place, they unquestionably
agree, in the main, as to this vexed subject.
Dr. Rice avows his concurrence with the
action of the General Assembly in 1818;
Drs. McMaster and Thomas also concur with
it; and if they do not fully approve of the
action of the General Assembly of 1845, it
is not because they hold the simper se dog
ma, nor any opinion that would excommu
nicate all slave-holders. They no doubt
agree with Dr. Rice, and our ministers gen
erally, in cherishing a hearty sympathy for
our brethren in the South, and in depreoat
ing useless agitation of the subject of slavery.
These remarks are penned from no private
or personal knowledge of the brethren, but
yet from a full persuasion that they would
all regard the discussion of this subject in
our. Church Courts as inexpedient, until some
practical solution of the slavery problem can
be generally agreed upon, Do we not consid
er it useless to be discussing this matter, so
long as we do not know what practical
remedy to propose for the evil Y In the
next plane, this question of slavery need
not be a disturbing element in a theological
faculty, any more than in the Church itself,
1, even on the admission of some diversity of
; - views. We must tolerate some disagree
ment among ourselves on this difficult sub-
jeot; we are in fact doing so. One of the
Professors in a Southern Seminary has pub
lished to the world his belief in the mon
strous opinion, that slavery is "the only
good there is in the whole affair of negro
existence in America." We had supposed
that the experience of Divine grace was
the greatest good to the negroes, and that
it is the Christianity of the South, and not
slavery, that has civilized them. We doubt
not, indeed, that the worthy Professor
would heartily agree with this, while he
would contend that slavery was necessary
to their becoming acquainted with that
t
er ne • and we would rejoin that be
cause God overrules evil, and brings good
out of it, no argument is to be therefore in
ferred to justify the evil itself. But let the
reasoning be what it may, the fact is not the
less certain that views are publicly avowed
on this subject, which the great mass of our
ministers and people, North and South, do not
entertain ; while yet, being retarded as specu
lative, they are allowed to pass for what they
are worth. The practical result is, that we
Agree to differ, as to certain abstractions, on
this, as on other subjects; and it may very
well be the case, that this agreement to live
in non-agreement on these abstractions,
should be exemplified in the Faculties of our
Seminaries, without any serious harm. Let
there be agreement in cordially receiving
our Standards, and in receiving and manifest
ing the same mind that was also in Christ
Jesus, and then all will come out right in
practice.
Now, give us these three good men, and
in due time a fourth in the worthy Modera
tor of the General Assembly, or some othe r
equally good, and our Chicago Seminary
will be an institution worthy of our Church,
and full of blessing to the country. Let
not by-gone discussions, nor any private or
personal alienations, if such unhappily ex
ist, of which we are thankful to have no
information, nor' any preferences for par
ticular places, stand in the way. The
Church holds all her sons in a loving em
brace, and wishes them to work together as
brethren; and the country, nay the world,
needs their united services. -
These remarks have been suggested by
the notice in the newspapers, of Dr. Rice's
being called to a church in Chicago.

God for the new Seminary. Such is the
prayer of A PRESBYTER.

Western Correspondence.
DR. MCKlNNEY:—Unitarianism and
Universalism have beeu making vigorous
and somewhat successful efforts to obtain a
foothold in the West. They have several
churches located in Chicago, and at various
other points in Illinois. Wisconsin, and
lowa. At Chicago, the Universe.lists have
sustained, for some time past a most
thorough sectarian paper, called The New
Covenant, devoted to the interests of their
sect. As an evidence of the affiliation of
these two sects we often see sermons, written
by the Unitarian clergymen of the West, in
this. New o_ , venant, and notices of ex-
changes between the two classes in the
Sabbath exercises. The Erniversalists have
a college, called the Lombard University,
founded by a munificent donation of one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, made by
a Mr. Lombard. The institution is located
at Galesburg, where is Knox College, which
is 'at present attracting such attention by
its unfortunate contests. To the Presidency
of Lombard, Rev 0. A. Skinner, one of
the editors of The New Covenant has
recently been called, and he is expected to
enter upon his duties this Fall. There is no
doubt but this institution will concentrate
the educational efforts of both Unitarians
and Universalists, and will no doubt draw
to itself those young men whose parents
may wish to avoid all influences of a relig
ious character in the education of their
children.
Here, then, we have these forms of error
somewhat thoroughly organized and equipped
for action. With churces established, with
a press sending out its weekly stream of
poison, and with a College well endowed,
and just ready to enter upon its work of
imparting an education from which every
particle of sound, positive, religious truth,
has been carefully eliminated. What a call
do these things present to all true lovers of
Bible truth and Evangelical Christianity to
gird on their armor with new determination,
leave their bickerings and contentions and
_ . . .
go forth, in the name of Christ, gaining new
victories over every form of error I
I do not, however, apprehend that
Universalism and Unitarianism will be able
to accomplish much by all their efforts, of
permanent advantage to themselves. These
systems want vitality. They lack Christ;
and without him they can not long sustain
themselves. There is a sort of freedom of
`thinking in the West, a liberalism, which is
regarded as favorable to those forms of error;
and Swedenborgian dreamers are not want
ing to contribute a sort of temporary a , p
port to their cause; but still you can not
build unless yon have a foundation ; you
can not have a solar system without a
central sun. It only takes a few months to
freeze up a community, and thoroughly dis
gust those who are disposed to think, when
left to the negations of those creeds. Peo
ple of the present day have acquired no
facility of living upon husks, and like the
prodigal son, will be found bethinking them
selves of the table in. their Father's house,
where is." enough and •to spare." The cry
of «liberal Christianity" upon which these
sects seek to sustain themselves, is already
suspected. The intelligent discover that
beneath all this talk of charity and liberal
ity, there in just as strong an under current
of sectarianism and exclusisreness, as that
which they condemn; and when that cry
will no longer avail them, "Othelo's occu
pation 's gone." Old School Presbyterians
seem to be the special horror of these men.
They dislike the firm, unbroken 'front pre
sented by our Church in her unflinching,
outspoken testimony against them. Our
Church Standards trouble them. If they
could only prevail upon us to give those up,
to abandon our "creeds," and do as they do,
and as the Campbellites and Christians, so
called, do, take the Bible alone as our
"creed," what a glorious time we •would
have 1 All would then be Universalists, or
what is about the •same, Unitarians or S we
denborgians.
Next to Old School Presbyterians, the,
Methodists are objects of their commisera
tion. These last have an unfeeling way of
talking right out, exceedingly shocking to
the nerves of certain 'delicate persons.
Although they are quite certain that "hell"
always means the "grave," they are still
very anxious that the word be tabooed.
The Methodists, too, have a somewhat rigid
way of treating those who are suspected of.
heresy. They inquire after their preachers
every year, and do not give them freedom
to corrupt the Church, in the character of
itinerants in good standing, when they are
really Swedenborgians, Unitarians, or Uni
versalists. Indeed, it is a pity that Presby
terians and Methodists rill .not take the
advice of The New Covenant, and lend
themselves as instruments to propagate the
most soul-destroying heresies. The popetnity of true Christianity in the midst of
all these efforts, depends, under God, 9Lpon,
the firm. and unyielding adherence of Evan
gelical Christians to the Word of God.
Brethren of all denominations, in this way,
depending upon God for the blessing, resist
the Devil and he will flee from you.
It should be known to those who are
laboring to build up true religion in the
West, that these errorists are changing some
of their old notions. Modern Spiritualism
is exerting an influence upon them, and they
now mostly admit . the doctrine of future
punishment for a limited period. They are
now nearly all restorationists. In this form
they are to be met, and their errors refuted.
In the midst of these forms of error, we
rejoice in being able still to record od's
approbation of the administration of Gospel
ordinances, and his willingness still to bless
his people in their efforts to save souls. ES
Presbyterian church, located at Scotch Grove,
in connexion with the Presbytery of Du
buque, has been in the enjoyment of a
pleasant revival .of religion. The work has
continued for several weeks. In April last,
as the first fruits, twelve were received into
the Church, and recently twenty more were
added to the Lord; and Bro. Wilson, the
pastor elect,, reports the good work as con
tinuing. Much seriousness still prevails,
and it 'is hoped others may be, brought in.
We read, also, in the religious journals, of
similar outpourings of the Spirit upon other
Churches, in other connexions, notwith
standing the seemingly unfavorableness of
the Summer season. Let us learn not to
limit the Lord in his gracious operations to
times and seasons, but trust him ever.
Alexander M. Gow, Esq , President elect
of the Dixon Collegiate Institute, is at his
post, and is expected to enter immediately
upqa his work in connexion with. that
Institution. Its friends are expecting for it
a bright future. May they not be disap
pointed.'

careful examination by. Newcastle Presbytery, he
was 'enrolled among its candidates. But he had
done hie'Work wall in , the Church militant, and
the Lord prepared him at once for a• higher,
holier service in the upper, sanctuary. Such wee

directness of purpbse, that none kr:lC*4am but to

• Sessions of eighteen' weeks each, and commences on the last
- Wednesday In September. At the close of the first twelve
weeks there will be a public examination of the pupils in
their various studies, and a recess of two weeks given. As
this or. angement will give to the pupil the entire eighteen
weeks of unbroken time, and exclude the months of July
nod August, it will, it is believed, greatly promote - the health
and comfort of the members of, the School, and secure all
that could be desired in the way of mental culture.

The corps of Teachers is able and experienced in all the
Departments.' Madame Rtve received her training in Eu
rope, under the renowned Garcia, and is unsurpassed in her
department in. the Western country. Her associates are
also highly qualified for their work. The Music Department
was never so worthy of confidence, and it Is Intended to In
crease its attractions with its patronage.
•
The. Course of Study, recently extended and elevated,
comprises all the branches of a thorough English and Clas
sical Education; while the instruction in Vocal and Instru
mental Music, Drawing, Painting, and other Ornamental
Branches, will meet the highest demand of the age. The
'Pupils have free access to a well selected Library of over
two thousand volumes. The College is provided with a
good Philosophical and Chemical Apparatus.
The 'grounds belonging to the Institution are richly
adorned with trees and shrubbery, and a spacious botanical
garden is to be carefully cultivated every veer. furnishing
delightful recreation and profitable study. The buildings are
ample end elegant, consisting of a fine Chapel, 42 by 65 feet,
six Recitation and seven Music Rooms, a Drawing Room,
Dormitories, end a Dining Room, capable of accommodating
