about a week, with, increasing interest
Twelve precious souls were added to that

several others expect to unite with other
branches of the Ohurch; and many are still
earnestly infiuiring the way to Christ.
One t'act, in connexion with this church
seems to be worthy of special notice. They
have been deprived for five .or six years of
the stated ministrations of the Gaspel

during all this time they have kept up regn

heard Ittlflikydrabil ifoirted Asir
blessing upon them, just when their hearts
*ere ready to faint.
What encouragement is this for continued
prayer? What an encouragement for other
churches, in similar eireumstanceq, to go and
do likewise I And what an indueMzent for
the ministers of Christ to go and labor in
the destitute churches of our land and to

evening of the 22d of December. Conoiderable
taste was displayed, as we learn, by New England

which the Pilgrim fathers participated. The

Knishes, &a. Pictures of the" Village Ohritch,"
the " Town Hall," and the old " Red School
House," adorned the walls, and a repreeentative
or the " old Queen's arms," with the more peace
ful articles of household furniture and farming
implements, everywhere met the eye of the.;;be;

and various speeches made in response, some of
which are described as sprightly and entertaining

There was finite a general laudation , of New Eng

R. S Crampton, the very able Secretary of the

the present time, in this State, not Leta than forty
thousand, habitual or occasional drunkards; four. •
thousand of whom are annually deposited in. that
synonym of lowest degradation, a drunkard's'
grave. Mr.' C. informs ',Us that *this alarming
state of things is to be, attributed in a great ineas
ure to the adulterated , and poisoned liquors now so,
generally sold. It is, therefore, his intention to
lay before the community ere long. a mass of facts,
designed to make theta more thoroughly acquaint

traffic than they have hitherto been. We triiist
this expose will.not fail of its otject ; but that

The United Presbyterian of the West, in its issue ,
of the 30th ' December, reviews our remarks in
the Banner, made a few weeks since upon the
question of communion. The editorsays:
"North. West seems todeny that the particular
circumstances under which we are placed, can
ever make it necessary to adopt any regulatione
to govern the application of Bible doctrine." • .•
.‘• North. West" simply expressed his' inability ,
to see how expediency could set aside altogether and
render, absolutely nugatory teduty which God bad
rendered " incumbent " upon the ChriatianChuroh.
We'gladly adopt Dr. Mikedid's explanation of the
language of' the Confession of Faith; but think
that what he calls the regulating of a deo.
trine in its application, is a palpable setting of it
aside altogether. Loa alit. "Saints by profes
sion are bound to maintain a holy fellowship, and
profession among themselves." Thie, says the .
Doctor -"
is their incumbent `duty;"! God has
made it a " moral obligation .to thTm.' " Bot,"'
may our Associate Refer med brethrer , • this pria, 7
ciple must be regulated in its application; and we
regulate it by never applying the principliffat',alli,
except' the 'violation under the circumstances;
would be an 'outriigeons impropriety." Now we ,
thlnk the Old School Prestiytelian Church really
" regulates" this matter in its application. We
' Ist, like Dr. Macdill, admit the priniciple, and
acknowledge its binding force • and we then :id'
say to all who are in good end regular etauding
in Evangelical churches, that they may participate
with us in this "holy fellowship and communion."
If there is in the matter any "moral obligation,"
WP are bound; by it, as we• think, to make this
offer.
.I..cheerfully admit that the application of this
principle may.and does require to be regulated.
I would not invite to the table of the-Lord all`who
may claim to be saints, but would 'confine that in-,
vitation to those who are walking prderry in con
nexion with an Evangelical thiurch- , a Church of
Christ These era without queatiun, the ' , saints
by Profossion to 'Whom we' are hound to extend
the privilege of Communion. But to " regurale,",
, as do our 'Assoniate Reformed friends, is, in, our
opinien, to, destroy, to array ourselves in direct
antagonism to, and to override and crush the
principle.
' The ReV. A. Nisbit, a popular preacher, for
merly connexion• with the 'Associate, but lat
terly- of , the Associate Reformed,Churoh, and
located'at'Chinsgo, bas withdrawn, with• a major
ley of his congregation, .from the Church, and
occupies, as we should judge, at present,
dependenFPotlition. The reason,.,fer this ste p i s
not stated in the'Presbyterial action which, it on.
°taloned, but we should judge it to ba.diiiincliv
nation to enter the union lately consummated, by ,
our Associate and Assimilate Reformed brethren.
I The following, among other resolutions, was
adopted by the Presbytery from which, Mr., N.
has withdrawn:
"Resolved, That any paper which Mr. Nisbit•
maylold or use as an equivalent to a cirtificate,
of good ministerial standing, would not have been
given till the proper examination shpuld, 'bare
beetiltd, it facts which have; since some to the
knowledge' of this Presbytery had been• previoui

From this, it 'Would appear ,that there is yet
something undeveloped.

Washington.
The two Houses of Congress met again on Mon
day, the 4th inst., and resumed business. Much
important matter is before them, and some of it
is peculiarly exciting. Sectionalism rules strong
ly. The manifestations of this evil spirit have,
thus far, been mainly from the South ; but they
will doubtless be met.. Crimination provokes, re
crimination. Imputations of unworthy motives
call out counter imputations. Threats, are re
emended to by defiance. And gratuitous attacks
are repelled by violence, and retaliated by aasaalts
equally injurious. The spirit now predominant
augurs ill for the , happiness of, the country. Wise
men and good, men ,combining great firmness
with' an imperturbable temper and unlimiti d self.
control, should be sept to Congress at such a time ,
as this. ' : „ ,;
The principal matters before Congress on
day; related to the breaking up of Gen.. , Walker's
expedition sgainst Nicaragua.'.
The capture and sending home , of General ,
Walker and one hundred , and fifty of ',his fellow
leyaders of a neighhhoring and peaceful State,

years. after, she buried another daughter, and
'still three years later (1849) another son, ' which,
