tent only' our wcesio in the Trusecution of
racist work assigned him; and this, it is
lieved, is about an average of the proper
of time thus spent during the last three
33 . The Committee believed that the
,ors and 'Sessions in Eastern Pennsylvania
New York were ateespahle of dispensing
;h the services of a collecting agent, as the
tors and Sessions in .other academe of the
urch, and that, to be useful, the Asso:
ite Secretary should go abroad and attend
other duties; and benne they felt it ne
tary to give him the specific instructions
lob they adopted on'tte 2fith day of Sep
her.
But these specific instructions, Dr. Hap
'sett alleges, are both impracticable and
ions 1 hi regard to the first allegation,
they are impractibable, it is sufficient
.efor to ehom, and request an examine
'of each particular. As to their being
'us, it might suffice to say that the du
specified, except the last, (which re•
tired him, from time to time, to furnish
the Home and Foreign Record, mission ,
intelligence which he might gather, in
prosecution of his work,) *very duty
eet ibeel in the specific instructions is con
ied in the general directions which were
ipted at the suggestion of two of his most
iminent personal friends. The only dif
.ence is, that the more definite directions
!scribed the manner in which the duties
mid be performed, and provided for a
it responsibility for their faithful exam s
i. For example, thegenet' . al instruc
ts made it the duty of the Associate
tretary to visit the pastors, churches,
:ebyteries, and Synods; the specific in
•uctions required that this should be done
Anodically, commencing hie labors with.'
the bounds of the Synod of AlbanY, and
aims the Synods in the geographical
ler in which they appear in the. Minutes
the General Assembly; and that a re
` should be made, from time to time, of
churches visited. These directions were
in that the Associate Secretary might
confine himself to a few prominent
tee within the bounds of Si few Synods;
that he should visit all the churches in
the Synods, so far as might be necessary,
as time and opportunity allowed;'and
occasional report of the number of
itches visited was required, that the
ird might be able to judge of his dili•
Ace and fidelity. The general instrue
ins required the Associate Secretary to
I .t the missionary churches for the pur
le of inducing them to become self sus
ling as fast as practicable ; and to per
le others, less strong, to ask as little aid
the Board as possible; the specific di.
ions timely required him to report, from
to time, how many of the missionary
:cbes had been induced to become self
mining, and how many had agreed to ask
from the Board. The general instruct
is made it his duty to superintend the
eking of the Systematic Plan of Benevo.
ce inaugurated by the General Assembly;
specific directions required him simply
report, from time to time, how many
:Thee had adopted the Systematic Plan.
.f these duties are odious, then the office
ilf must be so. And if these, and such
duties, cannot be performed, then there
nothing for an Associate Secretary to,clo.
what reasonable objection can there be
le specific instructions adopted by the
icutive Committee, and unanimously ap
wed of by. the Board If the late Associate
,retary intended faithfully and zealously
discharge the duties prescribed in the
len) instructions which had been given
J why object to being required to make
written report, from time to time, of his
,ors A. faithful officer surely has no
7d to shrink from a just responsibility;
the contrary, he would be naturally de.
-oils of having an opportunity of showing,
his reports, that be had been at least hab
311y employed, and bad endeavored to
, der himself useful. It is easy to make
Aral and vague statements of labors per
'iced; but it is far more satisfactory to
ve definite reports, from which an intern
it judgment may be formed, both as to
extent and utility.
After the resignation of Dr. Happersett
been accepted, the Board abolished the
of Associate Secretary, by the follow
vote :
To (4bolish, the office—Rev. G. W. Mus
ire, D. D., Rev. Henry Steele Clarke, D.
Rev. Levi H. Christian, Rev. James M.
.well, James Field, John M. Harper,
:thew Newkirk, Charles Macalester, Sarn
i). Powel, Henry D Gregory.--10.
.1 7 ,,e to abolish, the office—Rev. Reese
u,,persett, D.D., Hiram Ayres.-2.
The Chairman, the Rev. Dr. McDowell,
!dined voting, stating that while he ap
.oved of the motion to abolish the office,
) thought it had better be deferred for the
iesent.
The menibers of the Executive Committee
voted, with others, to abolish the office,
so for the following reasons:
I. Because, if the reference of the Aub
e, to the Board by the General Assembly
not intended to be a positive command
abolish the office, the Assembly did cer
tainly thereby express its judgment and de•
eire that the office should be abolished
in the opinion of the Board, it could bo dis
pensed with without serious detriment to the
cause.
2. Because the main work which had
been assigned to the Assistant Secretary had
been taken away by the action of the Gene
oral Assembly. Tho colleution'of funds by
the personal application of an Agent or
Secretary was designedly superseded by the
Plan of Systematic Benevolence, inaugu.
rated by the General Assembly. And the
-work of Church Extension bad been placed
in the hands of the Committee located at
6t Louie, Missouri,
;; Because the external work performed
by the lato Associate Secretary was, in our
judgment, of very little value; nor could the
objects contemplated by the creation and
euetinuanoe of that office be, to any consid-
Resble extent, realized by having an Asso.
elate Secretary located at Philadelphia.
4. Becalise the Corre.sponding Secretary
can readily attend to all the business in the
office, assisted, as he is, by an efficient
Treasurer and a competent Clerk; and if
any external business iu this section of the
country should require it, he can be absent
from the office for a week or two at a time,
without detriment to the cause.
If a personal visitation and superinten
dence of the great missionary field is judged
to be necessary, the better way, in the opin
ion of the Executive Committee, would be
to appoint several Geoerl Agents or Sarre
&frill, (if the latter tit& would not he too
expensive to the Board,) and let them be
locted, say one in the North-Wert, another
in the West, and a third in the South. West,.
For it must be obvious that a single indi
vidu,rl can personally visit, effectively, but
a very small portion of this vast country,
ithiti any leasonoble period of time.
Agents thus located would bcCome much
better acquainted with their respective leis,
sionary fields, and could, therefore, render
much more effective service to the otn,e,
provided, always, • the men appointed be
adapted to the work, having the requisito
talents, intelligence, piety, and zeal. This
arrangement was suggested by the Corres
ponding Secretary to the General Assembly
which met at Lexington, Kentucky ; but it
was not responded to because the Assembly
was determined to dispense with all agents,
and preferred to rely, under God, exclusively
upon the Presbyteries nod officers of the
churches to ,carry on the work.
With regard to the alleged danger of
having only one Secretary in the office at
Philadelphia, we remark : •
1. That we are unable to see bow an
Associate Secretary, whose business it was
to be absent from the office, and abroad in
the external missionary field, could have
been any check npon the Corresponding
Secretary in Philadelphia, and if they had
been made coordinate, and required to
exchange their duties from time to time, it
would certainly have distracted the counsels
of the Board, confused their operations, and
produced financial embarrassment.
2, The concentration of executive patron
age and power in connexion with the Board
of Domestic Missions, is less than that of
either of the other Boards of the Church;
for the Board of Domestic Missions has two
seperate and co-ordinate Executive Commit
tees, the one located at Philadelphia, and
the other at Louisville, Kentucky. There
are still two Secretaries connected with these
Committees, between which the missionary
field is divided. Not one of the other
Boards of the Church has more than one
Executive Committee.
_ .
3. Nothing can be done by any Secretary
without the previous consent either of the
Executive Committee or the Board, and
this surely is a sufficient cheek, unless nei
ther the Executive Committee nor the Board
are worthy of confidence.
4. No missionary appoiutments or appro
priations are made within the bounds of tiny
of the Presbyteries, without their previous
consent and recommendation. The Presby
teries nominate the missionaries, locate
them, and recommend the amount of their
compensation, which amount is never ex
ceeded by the Committee. The patronage
and power, therefore, are with the Presby
teries, and , not with the Board, except to a
very limited extent.
5. Both the Corresponding Secretary and
the Executive Committee are responsible to
the Board for all their official acts; and the
Board itself is amenable to the General
Assembly, and subject to its annual review
and control.
Having made this statement the Execu
tive Committee are perfectly willing to sub
mit all their Official acts to the review and
control of the General Assembly, in whose
wißdom and fidelity they have the utmost
confidence.

The President's Message is now substantially
completed. Mr. Buchanan, as a general rule,
differs from most of his predecessors of late years,
inasmuch as be prepares his own State papers,
without either assistance or advice. The habits,
and experience and training of public life, in all
its departments, have given him a self-reliance
which is of great value, and, unlike many Presi
dents, he is not overtopped by any superiority in
the advisers he ,has called around him. Hence
it is that• he acts so generally upon his own re•
tmonsibility, and often even without the knowl
edge of those who are supposed to be familiar
with the purposes of power. These habits have
led to a vast accumulation of labor, and to a
centralization, as it were, of the public affairs at
the White House. Mr. Buchanan. is certainly
President in the fullest sense of the term.
It is believed that the President in his Message
will take such decided
. ground with reference to
Mexican affairs that Congress will be forced to
act, or to take the responsibility of a continu
ance of the present condition of matters there.

Age and Debility.
As old age comes creeping on, it brings with it
many attendant infirmities. Loss of appetite and
weakness impair the health, and want of activity
makes the mind discontented and unhappy. In
eases where old age adds its influence, it is almost
impossible to add vigor and health, and although
many remedies have been tried, all have failed'
until Brerhave's Holland Bitters were known and
used. In every case where they have been em
ployed, they have invariably given strength and
restored the appetite. They have become a great
agent for this alone, and are used by many peo
ple who are suffering from - loss of appetite and
general debility. In oases of long standing
chronic diseases, they act as a charm, invigorating
the system, thus giving nature another opportu
nity to repair physical injuries.

The Moultrie publishes the following letiie,r,

Prince Napolemr; *lager of Algeria and of the
Colonies, 'of which a summary, received by tele.
graph, appeared in yesterday's impression:
"ST. CLOUD, Oct. 30, 1858.—My Dear Cousin:
—I have the liveliest desire that, at the moment
when the difference with Portugal, relative to the
Charles Georges, has terminated, the question of
the engagement of free laborers on the African
coast should be definitively examined and finally
settled on the truest principles of humanity and
justice.
" I energetically claimed from Portugal the res
titution of the Charles Georges, because I will
always maintain intact the independence of the
national flag ; but, in this case even, it was only
with the profound conviction of my right that I
risked; with the King of Portugal, a rupture of
those friendly relations which I am glad to main•
tame with him.
" But as to the principle of the engagement of
the negroes,
my ideas are far from being settled.
.If, in truth, laborers recruited on the African
coast are not allowed the exercise of their free
will, and if this enrolment is only the slave trade
in disguise, I will have it on no terms, for it is not
I who will Anywhere protect enterprises contrary
to progress, to humanity, and to civilization.
beg you, then, to seek out the truth with the zeal
and intelligence which you bring to bear on all
affairs about which you employ yourself.
" And as the best method of putting a term to
what is a continual cause of dispute, would be to
substitute the free labor .of Indian coolies for that
of the negroes, I beg you to come to an under
standing with the Minis* for Foreign Affairs to
resume with the . English Government the nego
tiations which were entered upon a few months
ago.
" On this, my dear cousin, I pray God to have
you in his holy keeping. NAPOLEON."
The Emperor's letter leaves no-doubt on the
mind as to its real character and many see in it
something like an admission that M. Waleweki
went too far when he and those whom he inspired
insisted • upon the immaculate character of toe
ship, and legitimate nature of her cargo. The
letter is, so far as it goes, a homage to public
opinion, which the Minister for Foreign Affairs
would do well to imitate occasionally. The Em.

Napoleon, who had come froin Compiegne ex•
prosely for the occasion, arrived, and the ceremony
of reception took place in front of the church,
where the car had been placed. Sir J. Burgoyne
delivered the following address:
" Her Majesty, the Queen of England, being
desirous of offering to His Imperial Majesty a
relic, which she, knows to be interesting to Franco,
has charged me to bring to Paris, and to place at
the disposal of the Emperor, the funeral oar on
which were conveyed to his first tomb the mortal
remains of the illustrious founder of the Napoleo
nian dynasty. The admiration which I feel, as a
soldier, for the - exalted genius and exploits of that
great warrior, has caused me to feel the greatest
pleasure at the choice which my graoious sov
ereign has made of me for the aooompliehmeat of
this honorable mission."
Prince Napoleon replied
General—l receive, in the name of the Emperor,
the precious relic which the Queen of England,
has sent to him. I receive it as a testimony of
her desire to efface the poignant remembrance of.
St. Helena, as a. pledge of the friendship which
unites the two Sovereigns, and as a proof of the
alliance which exists between the two nations.
May that, alliance long continue, for the happiness
of the human race I May it reserve for the future
as great results as those which it has already pro- ,
duced ! I am, charged, by the Emperor, to in
form you, General, that' he particularly appre
ciates the choice which the Queea has made of
you for this mission. We are happy to, have to
thank one of those glorious chiefs of the English
army, by the side of whom we have fought, and
for whom we have retained such a'high esteem."
The short ceremonial then terminated. The ear
is to be placed in the Chapel St. Jerome, by the
side of the mortal remains of the great man which
had been conveyed on it to the. tomb.
The Emperor Napoleon has returned the
compliment paid him by the Queen, and has
forwarded to her Majesty, a twelve pounder how
itzer, invented by himself, accompanied by the
complete L kreees for six horses. The piece bears
the 11111110 the "Allinnoe " Oo it is inscribed in
French—'• To Queen Victoria- ' fium the Emperor
Napoteon,'.' with the arms o f Eaglitud and the
imperial cipher. The Duke or Malakoff is to

DIED—On the 16th of November, at his resi
dence in Allenville, Mifflin County, Pa., Mr.
CALM PARSHALL, in the 70th ;ear of his age.
He leaves one son and four daughters to mourn
the loss of one of the kindest of parents. During
the greater part ,of his life, he proved to be a
consistent Christian, and was a member of the
Presbyterian Church. He died 'suddenly, from
apoplexy, but his end was peaceful. W.
Deno—On the 28th of July, in Baldwin Town
ship, Allegheny Co., Pa., Mr. ROi3SHT STBMSET,
in the bad year of his age.
The subject of. this notice made a profession of
religion, and connected himself with the Church,
about three years before his decease. In this
connexion he maintained an exemplary deport
ment, and while his demise was sudden, it is
hoped death did not find him unprepared. Be
relied solely upon the righteousness of Christ. A
wife and five okildren-are thus bereaved.
DlED—September 27th, in Butler, Pa., Mr.
SAMDBL JACK, aged 75 years.
Mr. Jack was born in the Eastern part of the
State, and was among the early settlers in Scrub
grass, Pa. While in Scrubgrass, an incident no
ourred, to which he often referred with emotions
of the liveliest gratitude for his merciful preaer
ration. He was engaged in cutting away the
ice from the waterwheel of a mill, when suddenly
the wheel turned and drew him under, Dearly
crushing him to death. His danger was immi
nent, and his
.preservation marvellous._ For
twenty-three or twenty-four of his last years, he
lived on his farm, three miles North of Butler..
Here he was chiefly instrumental in obtaining the
organization of the church of North Butler, and
was chosen as a Ruling Elder in that church,
which office he held till his decease. Industry
and earnestness were prominent traits ilk his
character. A few months previous to his death,
he moved to Butler. While in Batler, his fervent
prayers, and longings for the advancement of
God's work, proved to be the evidence that his
soul was ripening for its transition. His end was
most peaceful, and his confidence in Christ un
shaken. L.T.
DIeD-At his residence, in St. Clairsville,
on the 13th of November, Mr. Jona Tam, aged
42 years.
Mr. Tate was for a number of years a very
pious and exemplary member of the Presbyterian
Church, and during the last years of his life was
a Ruling Elder. He was naturally of a very
amiable disposition, and always sustained an ex
cellent moral character, and from the time that
he
s united with the Church until his death, we
could truly say of him, " Mark the perfect man,
and behold the upright, for the end- of that man
is peace." .He was perfectly sensible of his situ
ation for some months before his death, but was
calm and peaceful, and fully resigned to the will
of God. lie was let very gently down to the
grave, and was very comfortalile in his mind all
through the valley of death. When asked by
his pastor, a short time before death, If he was
still comfortable in his mind ?" with a counte
nance beaming with joy, be said, "Yes, 1 am
very comfortable—very," He leaves I )ehind him
his aged mother, five sisters, and a large number
of friends, to mourn his loss. " But they sorrow
not as those who have no hope."
