DIVISION OF THE OLD SCIIOW PRESBYTE
RIAN CHURCH.
Nattntr.
That our Church is to be divided into
North and South, at least for a time, is man
ifest. And that an evil spirit is using
means whieh are wicked, to effect the rup.
ture, is certain.` The cause alleged, as jus
tifying their conduct, by the movers in the
scheme, is,the act of the last General As
sembly, known as Dr. SPRING'S resolutions.
The offensive part of the resolutions; is as
follows : *
" This General Asseinbly, in., the spirit
of that. Christian patriotism which the
Scriptures enjoin, and which has always
characterised this Church, do hereby ac
knowledge and declare our obligations to
promote and perpetuate, so far as in us lies,
the intenyity of these United StateS, and to
strengthen, uphold, and encourage, the
Federal Government. in the exercise of all
its functions under our noble Constitution:
and to , .this Constitution ,in all its provi
sions, requirements, and principles, we pro
fess our unabated loyalty."
The. Danville Quarterly Review, for Sep
tember, quotes this action of the Assembly,
and oppcises it; but at the 'same time af
firms the Assembly's right, and even obliga
tion, to take action, and proves that, on the
part of the Scismatics, the purpose to divide
the Church was predetermined and prear
ranged. We shall give some of its state
ments and arguments. Our readers will
perceive that the Reviewer is violently anti
abolition, and at least moderately pro-slav
ery. But this gives the greater force to his
admission of the Assembly's right to speak
on the occasion, and to his statement of his
torical facts.
Of the right and duty of the Assembly
to speak, the Review says:
There was a condition of affairs in the
country, which imperatively required a de
liverance, on the part of the Assembly as a
faithful guardian of the interests of the
Church. Civil war was raging in the land;
a large section of the country stood in hos
tile array against the Federal Government;
Presbyterians were not only in arms against
Presbyterians, but were among the foremost
leaders in the strife; many of our most promi
nent ministers, on the one side and on the
other, had been discussing the momentous
political issues of the times, in the weekly
and quarterly journals; one. Synod, at
least, had uttered its voice; every vital in
terest of earth and of time, possibly of
eternity too, was at stake; men's hearts
were failing them for fear; no man could
be indifferent; no man could stand neutral;
by many the path of duty could not be
seen ; pions men;anxious to do right, knew
not the way. What was the Assembly to
do? .Stand still like a dumb dog, totally
indifferent to the awful realities at the
door ? Amid such a scene of havoc arid
confusion, has the Church no power to lift
up a voice of warning, of counsel, of in
struction ?- We ao not so read the charter
of her rights and of her duties. Has the
law of God no applicability now ? no au
thoritative voice to still' the seething sea
of demoniac passion? Must it bow in si
lence before the grim visage of the god of
war? Let us be careful lest, pressed bythe
exigencies of a favorite argument, or our
judgment hampered and biased by the pe
culiar nature of existing circumstances, we
circumscribe the Scriptural limits of the
Church's powers, and thereby irupaii her
efficiency: Though not the autocratic mon
ster of Borne, still the Church is not a man
of straw.
In response to the-charge that the As
sembly yielded to outside pressure, we have
the following paragraph :
Least of all should they be quick to
raise a hue and cry against the Church be
cause of this odious deliverance, who are
themselves in 'the same,condemnation—see
ing they yielded in like manner, to an out.
side pressure, but in the opposite direction.
It appears from the third exception to the
Minutes of the Synod of South 'Carolina,
(which Minutes, by the way, had not been
submitted for review, since 1857,) that the
excellent brethren inhabiting the political
" hub of the universe," preceded the As
sembly in dabbling in the dirty puddle of
politics. If the statement made on the
floor of the Assembly is to be credited,
that Synod approved in advance the act of
Secession which it was well known the
State Convention would pass. They could
not wait till the foul deed was done. They
were so fondly anxious to baptize the, cock
atrice, they could not wait
° till the cock's
egg hatched. They anticipated the mon-'
strous birth, and sanctioned it by a decree
of the Church. And yet no men have de
claimed more eloquently 'against defiling
the pure robes of the Bride of the Lamb
by contact with the world, than these very
brethren. So extreme have their views ap
peared to that they have been
charged with attempting to introduce a hy
per-spiritual 'theory of the Church, utterly
inconsistent with her true mission and her
uniform action. " Sir," said the foremost
man of them all and of the .whole South,*
in the Assembly of 1859—" Sir, the salt
that is to save this country is the Charel
of Christ—a Church that does not mix up
with.any political party, or any issues aside
from her direct mission." Yet the very
Synod t in whose midst • he dwells, and of
which he is the animating spirit, plunged
headlong into the political whirlpool. They
manifested an eager haste to soil the fair
garments of the Church with the filth of
the world. When the time came to test
their allegiance to the principle that was to
save the Church and the country, they.were
found wanting. Now what construction
shall we put upon this conduct ? That
these brethren have been disingenuous in
advocating an extravagant theory of the
Church's *rituality ? No. That they have
less manliness or firmness than others? Not
at all. They are candid, manly, Christian
nien—men of deep convictions _and honest
purposes. The simple truth is, the phrenzy
that had seized (yen all around them, had
muddled their own brain. At every inspi
ration they inhaled'secession. •Secession
stalked abroad over the land, and cried
aloud in the streets. Secession knocked at
the door of the sanctuary and demanded re
cognition. It, beleaguered the Synod and
carried it by storm. Yielding to the pres
sure from within and the pressure from
without, they surrendered in an evil hour
their cherished principle, and ratified a
measure their cooler judgment will con
demn. lime, if time itself shall not end
speedily, will reinstate that excellent prin
ciple, not lost, lint in - abeyance.
On the inadequacy of the alleged cause
of the revolution in the Church, the follow
ing remarks are made:,
Admitting the unconstitutionality of.the
Assembly's resolution, are the brethren of
the South justifiable in separating from the
Church of their fathers? ; Has the Pres
..,byterian. Church in the United States of
. America .become so corrupt in doctrine or
practice, so unscriptural and oppressive in
_the* exercise of discipline, that the, only
remedy for uneasy consciences is to aban
don her communion ? We • answer, -No.
We are forced to believe, and feel constrain
ed to say, amore groundless and, l lla,grant
act of schism has not occurred in the an
nals of Christ's Church. &more :palpable

play into the hamts of !politicians by
bringing the movemeo3
,',2f:Alle Church
into line with the movements of States—
cannot be found in ecclesiastical history—
certainly nothing approximating it in our
career.
In regard to a predetermined purpose
and prearrangement to divide the Church,
the Review says : _ •
If we would comprehend, the the strange
phenomenon before us, we must go deeper.
We must:seek an adequte cause. The de
liverance of the Greneral Assembly of 1861,
is not such a cause. It is but a pretext to
cover up a purpose for Med and settled be
fore that Assembly met. It is laid hold of
to rouse the popular mind'. The division
of the Church was a foregone conclusion.
The States had seceded—Presbyteries and
Synods must follow,suit. No link, binding
the South and the North must be left. The
separation must be complete. Church
unity might beget hereafter the desire of
National unity. The wily, arrogant, pow
erful politician shivered, like a potters ves
sel, the beautiful, heavenly, spiritual theory
of the churchmati. The State entangled
the Church in
,its own meshes, and carried
it captive.
No man of ordinary intelligence now be
lieves that the election ofgr. LmooLN, and
consequent, danger. to Slavery, constituted
the cause of &cession. The
,contrary is
freely acknowledged, The Democratic Con
vention was burst in ,pieces fer the' express
purpose of seenring,the,eleetion of a Black
Republican* Sectional', candidate. fihe plot
was well known in the S'outh before the
meeting of the Convention" Of this we
have direct and, positive information. The
breaking up of the Sinion had long been a
settled thing in the, minds of the leading
Democratic politicians of the South. It
was only a question of lime. All that was
waited for, was 'the fitting occasion and
pretext. They, vcame,, and the deed was
done. Ten years ago Gen. QurrmA,,N, in
writing to Col. ,TORN S. PRESTON, of South
Carolina, drafted the progranime that has
been followed out to the letter. See Life
and Correspondence of Joni." A_. Qurraim;r,
Vol. IL, pp. 1254. This work lifts the
curtain, and opens right before the eye the
gradual maturing of the scheme to form a
Southern Confederacy, up to 1858, the
year of Gen. QurrmAN's death.
Now, what is maintained is this :—That
there is an analogy, and that not a remote
one, between the plans and purposes of the
politicians of the South to divide the in.-
,
tion, and the plans and purposes, of our
Brethren in that section to divide the
Church; and that 'the deliverance of 1861
is seized upon as a pretext " to fire the
Southern heart, and precipitate a revolu
tion." It is a pretext, and, nothing but a
pretext. The formation of a Southern
Confederacy had been anticipated, and the
way prepared for the , formation of, a South
ern Church. The preparation of the minds
of Christian people at, the South for divid
ing Churches, is seen in the action of the
Southern Episcopalians. That denomina
`tion has been held together for years by
the strength of their attachment, to prelati
,
cal regimen, and fear of _the sin of schism
-
While all the while the bitterest .feuds
haie
raged in its bosom and the most
abominable of .Popisli heretical doctrines
been preached tolerated. So has it
been , in /ngland. But how is it now ?
The fie 'politieil storm has entered and
burst the temple of "the 'Lord from top to
bottom. The sin of schism has lost, its
terrors. Tbe..beeks ,of steel have melted
in the glowing ftirnace. The wizard of se
cession has transmuted adamantine chains
into cords of tow. Initiative measures
have been, taken to form a Southern Gen
eral' Episcopal, Convention, without' the
shadow of a reason except what is to be
found in political considerations.
,The doc
trines of salvation might be obscured, and
even denied ; still the Church held to
gether. What love for a pure Gospel and
the souls of men could not, do in a,. genera
tion, secession accomplished in a trice.
To preserve the truth of God ineorrupt,. a
new General Convention could not be formed;
secession prepared the way for it, and called
it into being at the needed hour. The
same hot haste in the Christian , public of
the South, to sacrifice a sacred principle,
and to prestrate the Church of the living
God at the dirty footstool of the State, is
seen in the proceedings of the Synod of
South Carolina, already referred to, and in
those of the Baptist, Convention of Alabama.
The work of preparation in our•denomina
tion was quietly prosecuted in various, ways.! ;
Efforts were , made, to detach the affections
and interests of our people in the more
Southern parts of the country from things
Northern and Northward. Let one in
stance suffice,:. For several years . there
were zealous endeavors, we will not say
sedulous mommuvres, to separate all the
Synods in the cotton and sugar growing
regions from the support, of Theological
Seminaries established by the General As
sembly,,and, to rally them , as one man to
the support of a Synedical Seminary,.at
.Columbia, S. C. An agent of the Colum
bia Seminary also, appeared in . the. Synod of
North Carolina, and essayed to wheel it into
line, while, that Synod•stood pledged.in the
most formal manner to another Institution.
A large lee ° acy , devoted to theological edu
cation, was diverted from its original desti
nation, and turned , into the exchequer of
the peculiarly Southern Seminary . at Colum
bia. Now,' in this work of_sectionalizing
and consolidating the extreme South, so as
to be all prepared at. the nick of time to
draw off and organize for themselves after
the manner of the seceded States, we nharge
—and this is the gist of the iniquity--
th,at the pro-slavery string was skit fully
played
. upon by, nimble, fivers. If the
charge is denied, we bind ourselves to prove
it by the testimony of Yeapectable men who
saw ands heard far theniselves.. 'Mille this
was going on, the men of the North, and
of the upper tier of Slave States, were co
operating in good faith with those .of the
South, to strangle utterly the, hydra of
Abolition, and' thus prevent a serious
sion of the Church by that pestiferona ism.
It; powerlessness to do evil was demon
strated in the Assembly of .1859. Itschosen
weapon was . shivered when , the ,whOle
Church took into its hinds the North-
Western Seminary. -But what booted it to
throttle abolitionism in one section, while
in another pro-slaveryism was rearing aloft
its crest and marshalling - its forces, to sub
jugate the Church ? :What booted it for
the Assembly to prevent one. Seminary from
becoming an, exponent and, propagator of
abolitionism,: while another, wholly beyond
its control, becomes the exponent, and pro
pagator of , views equally hostile to the
Church's moderate and Scriptural views on
,the vexed question ? While , the spiritual
theory is wielded to ward off the pest of
abolitionism in, one quarter, what is gained,
if a public sentiment equally destructive of
the peace and purity of the Church, is fos
tered in another ? We are no less unwil
lingio - see
,the Church, either by a ,formal
, d'eliverance or an unmistakable sympathy,
made an instrument to ,‘, uphold, : extend,
and, perpetuate ". the State's institution of
slavery, than , to see it driven into,t)Minup
port of a wicked war on that institution. d
It, has now conic to pass that. one who an
cepts simp/icito: the deliverances . of ;1845
and 1840, is, looked,t askance in most Of
the Blase" Statee, if not den e unced.out4ght
as an aholitionist. Let the spiritiml,theory
prove itself a two-edged sword., :

powerfully enlisted. In the fullness of
time, a circular to the churches was issued
from
s head-quarters, to send in their contri
butioritii for 'Foreign Missions., ;A foriper
Secretary of t t lie old ; _*ard; who had re.-
signed his office before the meeting of the
last Aesembly,'and hid hid a large expe
rience, was on. hand to superintend the good
work. : (We, give timely. notice: that not
word. .here uttered-is *tended to-impugn
the character or conduct of that :excellent !
brother.) .
A plan was : orrnedve-epeak advisedly!
plan:to, divide the Church, originating
most probably in the bosom .of : the _Synod I
of,SOuth. Carolina, was formed _before. the
: late.. Assembly met. A motion was to be
made to rescind the ,deliveranee of: I.slB, om
the. subject,-, of Slavery.', On to
carry that motion, which was, known to , be
just as.:certain as, fate,.the Southern! Com
missioners were to secede from the:Assem - -
bly. Nothing prevented. this plan from •be
nig carried ,into,, execution but the-fact that. I
certain. persons failed ,to secure an election
as Commissioners, , others .were, ~ k ept
away, by : the war.,,,. The: secession., of the
Southern Commissioners, from. an abolition
/*zed Assembly_was to ".startle ". and fire
the whole South.
Indicative of the same foregone purpose
to be done with' the Issembly, is a de
liverance of , Dr. ADGER, quoted by-D,r. '
'T. BAIRD in , a spicy communiVation tc;the
New ()Heaps True 'Witness, This minima

ture Church . Courts composed of 'his co
equals, after' this lofty sfyle ? - By what au
thority does lie announce hisjudgments,
ex cathedra, on presbyters engaged in the:
serious discharge of solemn ordination
vows ?"
In `proof, also, of a determination to di
vide
the Chureh, totally irrespective of
what might be, done at Philadelphia, we
cite the discussions upon that subject in the
Southern religious newspapers, and particu
larly the strong adVbeacy of the measure in
the Soutbern Presbyterian, published at
Columbia, S. O. Here, at the central seat
of Southern influence, with only a delicate
tinge of, modesty, was the cue.given.
That to divide tlie Church was a fore
gone concliMion, maybe deduced, too; from
the haste and recklessness which eharac,
terized " the recent action of the Presby
tery of 31emphis,yaitiative of the division
of our great, - and s belcifed - Church." See
Dr. GuuNDY's Protest and Appeal. We

reader to the eipose contained in Dr.
GuuNnv's Sixininisters out of

_EDUCATION.
1 This Board is made painfully anxious
'by 'an . event which produces general jay
'in "the churches, "that' is, by the increased
number of young men, in our Colleges., and
Seminaries,t who, have consecrated _them
13elves to the work of the ministry.: These,
Or many of them,- are to be provided'for.
Pur Board, with the sanction of our
,Christian people, is .under promise / un
-recalled, to sustain every duly, qualified
-'yonth who shall' ask: their .aid. Hitherth
they have-been able , to redeem their pledgi.
And they still have greit faith ; bat : they
also are in close ,straits... would be very
..wrong :for the Churches 40 withhold, means
.from their Beard. The question maycome
'np'for' diionssion,;or rather is now being
`di.4cUssed' ik whether the Standard of quali

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
INDIAN MISSIONS.—MiSS CULB ERTSON,
Miss DowNl;co, and Miss LONG, three of
=
the ?
• epelted missionaries among the Choc
.
fairs, have arrived safely home.
SOUTH AmEarca.—Mr. MCLA.REN writes
in good spirits. He wants another ordained
laborer. The Liberal army have entered'
Bogota, and the Pope's Internuncie and
the Jesuits, are ordered to leave the
country.
ArnxcA.--The last letters from our mis
sionaries are rather discouraging There
was much indifference among the people,
and some professed disciplew were turning
backward. Such things occuv in our oven
favored land.'
•
INDIA:—Late letters are rather .:barren of
interest..
CRINA..----The mission field still extends,
and morellaiwrers are needed.. '
The Board say : •
It is with sincere pleasare we mention
that the Comniittee r hepe to' send put, in a
fsw
,weeks a'missionary to . Siam, another
to New Granada, and a third, to" . Brazt
special funds having been received : for this
purpose. These three countries contain
over twelve millions of inhabitants, 'and"
the nuniber of 'missionaries "amongst
. them
does not exceed one to each millibn of'
souls. The door for missionary
, labor in
thes6 countries is probably more open now .
than at any former time.,
" It is worthy of gr'atafil remark that
thia is the third donation for'sending out
new laborers—all of these gifts" being 'ad
ditional to the usual contributions of the
respected donors. We have reason to
know, also, that additional or enlarged gifts
have been received from' other friends,`for
the general support of the missions.' No
missionary, who is able to go out, is now'
'likely to be kept at home."
Itsorters in August: $6,133.
PUBLICATION
This Board
_calls for funds, to ad
vance the work of Colportage. The field
is wide. In the army there is' great room
for labor, and great need " of gratuitous dis
tribution.
Two new publicationsv have beei added
to the Mist.

CHURCH EiTENSIOi..
Do not forget- this Board. The ,poor
need a shelter, where to Worship; Goa may
meet his worshippers in the field, or in the
wood. And he will do so when he has not
given the means to build a house But if
they. can -build, they. are boimd.., to build:.
And no church has flourished in. the fields
and woods. Let us then heir those who
are destitute, and especially such as try to
help themselves. .

TILE NATIONAL:VW
Thursday,. September 26th, 1861, was, a
point of time 'likely to be noted in the Ch i,
tort' of our country The suggestion, by
,
both houses' of Conaress of a reli , ;ions
..ob
servance, the language of their resolution,
the terms used in the President's Procla
mation, and the following Proclainationsif,
the Governors of States, compriae4;e ,- att,
distinct recognition!of' God's belii,g;'.and
providence,, his right to dispose of - nations
and national affairs, his justice and mercy,
that 'has occurred since the `'Revolution.
We would take this as indieatfon of' the
existence of a reforming spirit in our na
tional regard for the institutions of ehTis
tianity; and the more especially so when it
is accompanied by a general order, from
the War Departnicnt, protecting the Sanc
tity oethe •Sabbath r and suppressiye of
drunkenness and other immoralities. -We
Claim to be a Christian people. Vire ire a
Christian people and it is .to- be hoped
that, hereafter,- Our public conduct will be
made to conform more , to 6hris:tian m
pre
_
ne than formerly.
And the recognition of God iias' not
only distinct, and in advance of 'the past
on the part of , the National - authorities.
The observance of the day was 'mere
full and more marked than untthl on, the
part of the, people. City country,
Army and ' Navy, so far as we have, yet
heard, obsdrved it with great propriety.
Washington' City is represented' to Inve
jobeen as quiet as on th'e sabliath. r the
President, Heads , of Departments, the com
manding Generals in the Army-, and !other
public' functionaries,- presented thenuielves
before. God, in his sanctuary, where'larae
congregations, under the guidance of quiet's
aMbassadors„ humbly acknowledged God,
confessed sin, pleaded for mercy; and be
sought favor.
In' New-York-, a,, Sabbath' quiet' atid sol-:
temnity was' 'aPpaient.' Sheiis'w, OloSed,;
business suspended , churches, open and.
(filled, and the ministers of religion engaged_
in their .appropiate work. 'Some of the
daily' paper's give sketches of What" rieem to'
have been earnest, eloqdent and ahropri
ate evangelical sermons. Prayer,
,we do,
not forget, nor did ministers forget it, was
r ,
the great duty of the d butt was to- be'
intelligent - and earnest prayer;`, and ta
;prompt, to such prayer, the prayer, of faith,.
the presence of God's revealed..trnth,in the!
mindytogether with onr - own . .condition,ls- '
an indispensable. Hence the,reading• andl
expounding of the Scriptures, and the
• showing unto, the people, of their sins and
their dangers. God's ministers , did well, ;
who-spoke to •the people and spoke:Wisely.-
, The obbervanee in Philadelphia seems `toy
have been quite as general as in'New-York.'
