• vious year. This statement shown : 'it
Once how the increased funds of the year have
been employed, as well as the call,forequal
liberality in relation to the future..
The progress of the missionarywelli.in
foreign lauds has been interrupted or imped
ed at,a.few points, whilst it has gone forward
steadily, or been greatly accelerated in oth
ers, Two of the smaller missions among
the North-western Indians,. established a
few years since somewhat asan experiment,
have been discontinued in consequence of the
withdrawal of the GoVertitnent funds, by
which they were supportedounl the unwil
lingness of the people to Send their chil
dren to the schools; whilst
. a third from
the same causes, has been remodeled, but
with reference to. greater usefulness. The
missionary work among the Indian tribes,
nevertheless, hasipe:en expanded rather than
contracted by the . changes of the year.
One of ,he'statiens in South America, it IS
possible' may ;be suspended, owing to the
unsettled itate of the country, whilst an
other in a different part' of 'the country . „
and of push greater promise, has been un
dertaken. In China one of the advanced
stations, taken up something less than a
year ago, has been temporarily suspended,
in consequence of the impending war with
-England and France, whilst new and
liOrtant positions have been taken up in
Africa, India, and Japan ; and the mission
ary work has also been resumed, among the
Chinese in California.
With the exceptions just made, the.inis
sionary cause in all its varied departments
of education, translating and circulating,
the Word of' God, training of native lis
sistants, and preaching . the Gospel, have
been carried on with vigor, and has been
attended with the most cheering results. A
number of' the churches, in different parts
of the great field, have been favored with
the special influences of the Holy Spirit,
whilst there have scarcely been any, that
have not received important accessions to
their membership—results that have been
brought about, no doubt, in answer to the
.earnest prayers of the people of Grid here,
as well as the prayers and, faithful laborki,of
the missionaries abroad: _ .
In view of such facts and results, the
Board would earnestly invoke the continued
aid and prayers of the people of God, that
this great work may go forward with in
creased power, until all mankind shall have
heard of the salvation' of Jesus Christ.

Impartial Testimony,
Mtssis. EDITORS :--It is not often' that
Arminiane are fbund willing to `testify in
favor of that-much hated and greatly mis
represented, system of doctrine known as
Calvinism. Occasionally,' however, the
force of truth prevails over prejudice,-and
they justly applaud the faith they common
ly seek to destroy. -
In prod of this. statement, I send you
for insertion in the Banner, an extract'from
the Preface to the new edition of " The
Difficulties of Arminian Methodism," which
is now nearly through the press, and will
soon be published, by the Messrs. MAR
TON', Of Philadelphia :
According to the leading Arminian authors,
Calvinisni is - justly chargeable with '' , unacoOunt-.
able and horrid teachings," . "revolting and
shameful deformities ; " " inculcates licentious-,
ness and recklessness, licenses crime ;" " endan
gers all the'lntereste Let Sound Virtue- and true,
religion;" "dishonors and dentonizay.the - God of
the universe," &0., &c. Such, according to
Bishop Simpson-and Mr. Foster, are correct fea
tures of Calvinism I,heir, .book-- mama with
suchntisrepreientat :.q ioni as these, Only . viorse, if
that were possible I And'one of their Chief . =au
thorities for these charitable statements; is , the
Presbyterian "Confession of Faith." Now in
all Christian courtesy, we of course' must stip-
Pose that these Arminian brethren and their
Church, which publishes " The Objections, to
Calvinism," really believe their own State
ments. * * * * * fr
But. When it 'suits Arminians to harp on a dif
ferent string; they tell a very different story.
Take for example; the-following extracts - from the
Methodist Quarterly Review, for October, 1848.
" The Confession of Faith " of the Preribyterialk
ChurchZ which ileiisrs.l'oliter and Simpson say
they hive dentorisitably convicted Of the-forego
ing enormities, was the , work of the Westminster
Assembly of Divines.' • Who were the members of
that {assembly? What Wa3 thPir charttatx ?4,.et
the' IfelhOdist Ruarterly Review give'. the ansvier:
"IThtWAss`timbly. included a valariP of-Zilintifri
ous persons, of unequaled, brightness '—' such
were the leading spirits of 'the Body stars of
the first
,niag e jtude.," But according to Messrs.
Simpson and 'FOSter,' this. "unequaled : galaxy of
stars shed upon the world unequaled darkness !

paiethis honorahle testimony with the statements
oUblessrs. Simpson and Foster. And whatita've
been the practical results, the fraiis'of , this:Cqn
fqssion ? " The influence of. the labors • of . the

be - en extensive and controlling oyer:mititi

wherever the English language is spoken. TO their
Formuktriesmark this millions have owed
their preser*s.tion from destructive errors, their
theological .knowledge, and savixo, SOBER' -PIE

tain of its' features', "inculcates licentiousluses,
lidinies crime,. and deimmizei the God of the uni
verse !". So at least 'say thette 'Arniinian-breth
ren.
But, has not this : ".wild vine," of Calvinistic
growth and culture; often produced ''the.grapes
of Sodom and the Clusters of Gomorrah?' ,
The
" Methodist Quarterly" shall answer: ',NElier
since," i. e. since the meeting of The Westtnin
stet. Assembly, "it (the Confession;) haseierted
a moss salutary influence in the world. By itz ;the
Rpatanizing tendency of the English Establish-`
rdent has been kept in check; its,oppositibiLto
uniformity has perpetuated, religious liberty, While
its deep-toned orthodoxy has stood as a bulwark ,
againd the 'onsets of every form' of sedintive-er
ror."- These are certainly not the clusters- of
Sodom • -
In confirmation of these facts, the " Methodist
Quarter/if " next,cites Scotland as " an exempli
fication of the kobtical tendency of these forniu
laries," and quotes from the Life of Alexander
Henderson what is'ealled 14 a felicitous statement
of the ease," turfollows: "These (Westminster)
Divines have erected a monument in almost every
heart in Scotland. it -.Next to the intro
duetipn of Christianity,.,and the translation. of,
the Bible into the vulgar, tongue, the framing of
the Confession of Faith . and of the Catechism,'
has' conferred the greatest boon 'on every Christian
in our country." This differs slightly fronfthe
picture of Foster and Simpson
Still further: The same Quarterly has a glow-,
ing eulogy of that distinguished Calvinist, Alex
ander Henderson, "who wrote tfie prineipal part
of the Confession of Faith with' hisiown hand."'
" He was evidently of that Bert of ,then of which
martyrs are made." " His country. honors
memory as that of one of her chiec , benefactors,'
and the whole Christia'n world owes; him, a debt of
lasting gratitude." If our Arminian' brethren,.
Foster and Simpson, are right, the '6'/uistitut
must be grateful for 'very smalljegOrs 1 2 '

suddenly into being and beamin&with , untopntcd
splendor for a season," &c. "Not • So, however,
'were its effects. Like the genial flowers and sun
shine of early Spring,. it, imparted life and
strength to what had seemed utterly dead, * * *
the pledge of the coming Summer.and the seed
time of that harvest whose reaping is yet in pro
- gross." Such were, and continue to be the fruits
of a system, which in several of its distinctive
featuies, " licenses crime and endangers all the
interests of sound virtue and true religion!"
Without attempting to harmonize these
conflicting statements from the same gen
eral source, it is gratifying to find that such
envenomed shafts as those of " The Objec
tions to CalVinism," are rendered harmless
by the same hands that throw them. If
the " Methodist 'Quarterly" speak the
truth,-their Bishop Simpson and his armor
bearer are impotent of evil, in their hitter
assaults upon our system. "Do men gath

" Sympathising Address to the Pope."
This is truly a remarkable heading, when the
causes of the sympathieS are examined.
If the rule of the Italian Prince's, in connexion
with the Pope, is so just, why such a general di
voroetnent of the people from their authority?
While Italy has been for along time in an un
easy condition, a reason much deeper than polit
ical dissatisfaction can be given for it. Popery
is the source not.only.of the wrong doing, polit
ically, but of the tyranny and oppression with
which that down-trodden country is cursed. The
Grand Duke of Tuscany, the Grand. Duke Ferdi
nand,_the Duchess of Parma, and the-Duke of
Modena, not 'only stand before the World as des
pots, but as tools and minions to carry out the
machinations of Cardinal Antonelli, in the name
of the Vicegerent of God—the Pope. * •
The murders and onslaught at Perugia and
Rome, with the abduction of the Mortara child
from his Jewish parents, with the exemninunica
ting thunders of the Vatican, tell a pretty tale
in the nineteenth century of the oletnency and
mercy of the Holy Father.
Let us try the doings of the sympathizers with
the Pope at the late meeting in this city. In the
• course of "Bishop O'Connor's remarks, speaking
of .the Pope, he said: " He is the great instru
ment by Which the truths which will bring salva
tion to all are made known to the world. Above
everything .else, is his liberty and independence,
and we should endeavor - to remove from him all
appearance of constraint, so that what he says
and does may be the faithful discharge of the
trust yeposed in him."
" Liberty. and Independence !". Is Romagna,
Parma, and Tuscany doing anything else than
what is here claimed for the Pope—the free ex
pression of their views as to the character of, the
rule exercised over them.
The assertion that there has not been a true
expression of the public-mind, in the countries
which have revolted, by a referenc e to Kansas, Bal
timore, Tuecany, and Modena, about ballot-boxes
being broken-and stuffed to stifle the voice of the
people; may satisfy the immense meeting at St.
Paul's Cathedral, but will not overturn the fact
that in Papal Italy, inhabited by professed adhe
rents of the Church, the people, have said they
want a change. •
Can it be believed that the elections that have
taken place are all a fraud, and that the people
are with Rome ? The Bishop deserves some
credit'for his ingenuity in trying to get a reason
for the tenacity of the Pope's claims'of tempor
al power, by a parallelism between the.idea of
the organization of, the District of Columbia and
the Papal. States ; there is sonic poetry in the
.thonght; but not much sober truth. In a atress
of weather ship may have. to seek any port
where thereis a proepeet of:safety ; so it is with
theßishopin the absence of a good reason for
the conduct Of, the Pope, he has . to be . satisfied
with anything that is plausible by way ofjustifl
*cation.
Bishop'O'Connor's speech ; the letter addressed
to the Pope, the resolutions, the speech of W. A.
Stokes, and the other spaeches at that meeting,
are strange manifestations to be made in a Re
publican country, in this age of the world.
Look at one of the resolutions: "We look with
horror and detestation on the sacrilegious at
tempts, already in part , consummated, to violate
the integrity, and, if possible, to destroy even
, the existence of his temporal sovereignty."
.Throwing aside religious objections, we believe
that Papal Italy has been the worst governed
country in Europe, and that under the very eye
and control of the Vicegerent himself. In look
ing about for a reason for " the immense meet
ing" at St. Paul's Cathedral, we have it at hand
in the last resolution but one:
'"Resolved, Since the resources of the Papal
government will be exhausted by necessary ef
forts to meet local demands, it is just that Ceti':
ones throughout the world should contribute to
defray the expenses unavoidably attendant on
the administration of the universal Church, and
that with these sentiments we engage to give a
cordial support to the collection about to be made
in this diocesd for the. Holy Father."
A little outside pressure is sometimes employ
ed to open the hearts of people to give ; instance
Bishop O'Connor's famous reference in an ad
dress delivered at New York, no doubt to excite
sympathy about the supposed destruction of the
old Cathedral by an incendiary, and thereby to
ensure a good collection for the benefit of the
new building. OssEavEx.

Embassy from Japan
The first embassy sent from Japan to any
WeiteriVrtiition, was delegated to the United
States, and
persons,
just arrived. It consists of
seventy-one persons, two of whom are princes of
high rank. Several interpreters accompany
them. They came on a United. States ship to
San Francisco, thence to Panama, Atipinwall,
§apdy Hook, and Hampdon Roads, to Wash
ington.
The Japanese are somewhat smaller in stature
than Europeans, and of a darker complexion.
Their countenance manifests intelligence , and
amiability. They are active and sprightly.
Davison's Bookstore.
From an advertisement in another column, our
readers will learn that Mr. John S. Davison has
disposed of his well r known book establishment
to Mr. It. S. Davis, who will conduct the busi
ness on the same principles, and with the same
liberality, as his prpdecessor. Mr. Davis is a
gentleman who will be found obliging and atten
tivelo- all," and in whom every confidence -may
be placed. A large and well-selected stock of
standard theological, historical, literary, and
mikellaneous•works, together with a full supply
of Bibles,..Hymn Books, and Sabbath School
hoOk's, will be kept on hand.
Chicago Convention.
This body is about organizing, as we go to
press. , Its doings we may hope to report, next.
week. Multitudes of visitors were crowding
into the city. The hotels were full and running
over, as, early as Tuesday. Speculations as to
results, were abundant.
T 4 'country is deeply, interested in these po
litical conventions. It is a pity that they could
not be conducted for the public good. This,
however, is hardly to be expected. Those who
anticipate benefit—office holders, office seekers,
peculatory contractors, &c., &c.—are the men
who, for the most part,"get them up and manage
thein.

Baltimore Convention.
Delegates from thirty-one States met at Balti
more, on the Bth inst., to nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States. Hon. Washington Hunt, of New-
Ytirk, presided. The Convention sat through
the 9th and 10th. The proceedings were har
monious and enthusiastic.
The following Platform they adopted by ac
elaination : •
Resoled, That both patriotism and duty re
quire that all should recognize -no policy and
principle but those resting on the broad founda
tion of the constitution of the country, the
union of .the States, and the enforcement of the
laws. And that as the representatives of the
Constitutional and Union party, and of the coun
try, they pledge themselves to maintain, protect,
and defend these principles—thus affording se
eitrit3i. at home and abroad, and secure, the
blessings of liberty tothemselves and posterity.

Hon. Edward Everett was nominated as, Vice-
President. The nomination was accepted by
prominent men from several States, North and
South, and, on motion, was made unanimous.
The platform, though composed of but three
planks, is yet very broad, and perhaps the
stronger from the size of its timbers. It will be
easy to reiterate, "The Union,, the Constitution,
and the Laws."
And the gentlemen designated to occupy the
platform, as guardians of the. public weal, are
eminently good men—able men, and: safe—but

The New Bridge.
Mr. Roebling, architect of the new Wire Sus
pension Bridge, which spans the Allegheny from
St. Clair. Street, Pittsburgh, has furnished the
Gazette with 'a statement relative to its construc
tion. , The Bridge, although hot yet completed,
is open for use. It is beautiful, and is said to be
one of the most perfect structures of the kind
which exists. There are three piers and two abut
ments, supporting two main spans and two half
spans. The whole length, between the abut
ments, is one thousand and thirty-seven feet,;
width, forty feet ; diameter of cables, seven arid
a half inches ; weight of cables, three hundred
and thirty-three thousand pounds ; aggregate
strength, seven thousand three hundred tons;
tension resulting' from weight of bridge and
maximum load, one thousand and eighty tons.
Of the security of the Bridge, Mr. Roebling
says
- The chains are anchored to oast. iron plates,
which are supporting a large mass of masonry.
All this iron is imbedded in asphaltum, applied
in
,a hot state, so that neither air nor. water can
reach it. The chains and that portion of the
cables with wl4ch they connect inside of the
masonry, , is by rimans of this coating of asphal
tum perfectly protected against oxidation. la
addition to this they are all well grouted with ce
ment, and all the masonry surrounding 'the
chains is well grouted. Every precaution has
been taken to secure this portion of the work,
which is:out, of, sight, in a permanent manner,
that leaves no doubt as to its preservation.
Of the cost we have not seen any statement;
but it was said that the Company had a reserve
fund, from the old bridge, abundantly adequate to
meet all the expenses of the new structure. The
Company is wealthy, and the amount of daily
tolls is large.
Washingtot
Congress is doing some business. The Tariff
Bill passed the House on the 10th, by a vote of
105 in favor, and 64 against it.
On the 10th, also, a bill passed the House, re
pealing alliaws of New Mexico, establishing
either peonage or African slavery. It also re
peals a section, prohibiting the courtS from
taking cognizance of any correction that masters
may give their servants.
Bills for four or five new Territories were laid
on the table, in the House. Each' contained, as
reported by the Committee, a clause forbidding
'slavery. The. Democrats, Arnericans, and a few
Republicans, united in the vote' thus' to dispose
'of them. •
The defalcation of Mr. Fowler, Postmaster at
New-tork, to the extent of $175,000, makes a
great commotion among official's. The Depait
ment seems to be chargeable with neglect. Mr.
Fowler has fled.

Plie Housekeeper's Priend--Spedding"s Prepared
This admirable addition to our standard house
hold economies will be hailed, by all good house
wives as a boon long wished for, but hitherto un
attained. Spalding's Prepared Glue is perfectly
adapted for those, timely repairs to household
wares, furniture, crockery, and for fancy work,
that is almost daily demanded by the experience
of every housekeeper. It is chemically held in
solution. will withstand the action of climate and
time, retains its full strength, and is put up in a
snug, convenient bottle, with a brush, all for twen
ty-five cents. On being applied, the chemicals
readily evaporate and the, glue becomes firm
quickly, and adheres with the tenacity of the
best cabinet-maker's glue. For wood, leather,
or other articles where glue is ever used, it is
just the thing. We have tried it, and speak by
the card. In tbe.country it will be invaluable,
and nobody in the city will think of doing with
. out it.. If. Mr. Spalding desires to become a
candidate for the Presidency, and his friends
stick like his glue, he will be sure of an election.

bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her bleassd;
her husband, ale°, and he praiseth her." She had for twenty
one years been a member of the Presbyterian church of Bull

her spirit, that she was a child of God, enabled her to lay
in dying, "0 death, where le thy sting? 0 grave,• where is

THE ,COURT OF DEATH. • .

Splendid Colored' Engravinge of B.EIifSB.ANDT PEALE'S
celebrated Original Painting of the
COURT OF .. DEATH,
at the unommiented low piice.Of
ONLY ONE DOLLAR •EACH.
• SIZE, 23 BY 31 INCHES. •
The lowest regular price for eugravings of the size and
quality of this is ss—and in answer to the question, How
can they bo sold for Ono Dollar?" the eubeciibei would 'state
that .inate'ad of Miming 5,000 copies at $.5, he issues 100,000
copies at $l. The main expense of such a Work is not in the
paper and printing, but in getting up the plates:. If 5,000
only are sold, $5 is but a fair price. But if 100,000, are sold
at $l, the aggregate profits aro larger than on the 5,000.
The .Originiti Painting, of which the Engravings are a
ran-some copy, was painted by Rembrandt Peale in the city
of Baltimore, in 1820, and has been the study and admiration
of tens of thousands of our citizens. :It haa long been valued*
25,000 Dollars.
Death Is personified as a King or Monarch, and there is not
et skeleton or anything repulsive in the picture. • . •
There aro TWENTT-ranee FULL-SIZED nooses in the en
graving, and arranged into five groups,' presenting living
representations of Death, War, Sensual Pleasure, Intemper
ance, and the Triomphe of Christian 'Faith aver the Terrors
of Death. ,
It ie a work
. to delight the eye and improve the heart. It
can be studied and understood by a gild, while its sublime
conception affords scope to the strongest imagination.
It has been made the subject of special discourse by Rev.
Dr. Sprng - ne,'lliv. Dr: Welch, Rey. Dr. Bacon, Roiv:Dr. Cleve
land, Rev. Dr. Wayland, and others.
A more impressive, instructive, or beautiful Parlor Orna
ment could not be purchemeli.
The subaCriber was advised to have the drapery of the fig
ures brilliant and showy, to stuffy the taste of the "country
people," but he determined to imitate exactly the rich mel
low tints of the original,painting in this respect. The wisdom
of this decision is verified not only by the Artists in this
city, but by the venerable Rembrandt Peale himself, its will
be seen by the following unqualified certificate:
"PIIILADF.I.P7IIA, November 18, l.Sti9.
