Thomas Mme-'ith of North Carosina. The comnittee on sel cting a place for holding the next annual meeting of the Convention, and for nominating a person to preach the Triennial Sermon, reported through its Chairman, Mr. Cul pepper. The committer selec;cd Nash ville,-Rev. William B. Johnson, D D., of South Carolina, to preach the Trien niatl Serions ; Rev. Bazil Manly, D. D., President of the University of A labama, as his alternate. The Convention selected first Wed nesday in May as the time fur meeting at its next session. The Rev. Geo. F. Adams of Mary land, offered the following preamble and resolution, and supported it with much earnestness and zeal : Whereas, the law of Chi ist requires not only of his Mininers,-bat of all his disciples, to bear a pmrt in the great work of evangelizing the world, and as all may, aceioding to their vatious cit. cumstances, promote this great end and -aimIf-tra tpte'riTp. :Resolved, That this Convention would regard with approbation and with plea sute the establishment, at our.several M1issionary -stations, of pious and intel ligent merchants and mechanics, who, while they might pursue'their respective occupations on their own responsibility, would, by their presence, example, and -counsel, afford essential encouragement to the Missionar is. Resolved. That we respectfully in. vite the attention of our enterprising young brethren to this useful and impor tant matter. The resolutions passed in the aflirna -tive. June 13. The Convention assembled this morn ing in the Lecture Room of.the Second Baptist Church. The President in the Chair. The Convetion was opened as usual with reading a Chapter, sing ing a Hymn, and Praycr by Re-v. Eli Ball, of Va. The Report of the Committeo for considering the creation of seperate Bi ble. and. Publication Boards being te unfinished business, came up. Considetable discussion of the Reso lutions arose-but of a very amicable nature. The Rev. Mr. [linton, finding that the Cunve'ntioni had come to the conclu - sion to pass the -Report, rose and said that he felt unnu.ual gratitude to.*God at this ime-th.at he had been in the Min istry -for thirty years,. but had never -witnessed such a spirit of conciliation and-compromnise in any body as he had seen here. -It gave hinm stronag proof that the wi.isdomi of our action was ju~t, and God was with us. Thiere would now be no more hard thoughts betwenn -brethren of the Noi th and Snuth, and his heart could say Amen and Amen for all that was done by the Convention. Sotme very fet'lingand gratifying re marks were made by Rev. Mr. Poin -dexter, of Virginia, and Rev. WV. C. Buck, of' Kentucky, at the difficulty that had been overcome-that Christianity alone could have done it. The Con vention was 'lhen led in prayer in very solemn lwngnageby the President. The vote was then taken and the Repor t .adopted with one dissenting vote. The :body then rose ind sung with the deep,. -'est feeling t-hese lines; " Blessed bo the tie that binas Our hearts in Christian ove," &c. It was. truly an affecting scene. The follo.' ing is the Report: * Whereas, the Ames ican and Foreign Etie Society was originated in circum stances,- and organiz ~d otn principles, whicir should render it dear to every *Baptist; and whereas, thtis Society has nobly. ssained these principles in the midst of mitch opposition.: Therefore Resolved, Th at this Convention would do nothing to weaken the force of these ptinciples, to diminisi- the influjtnce which has been so successfully exerted in their maintenan~e,, or to alienate thie anfdence- that should b'e repos'ed in the integrity with which the Society wit by Divine aid, labor to perpetuate them As it is indispensable, however, u preserve the cordial and efficient^ unioi of the whole con-tituency of this body in all its benevolent operations, and : avoid all occasion of alienation in an: part of it ; and more especially, as is the desire of a large portion of thi constituency to have is Bible, as it ha its mission agencies, within its own pre cincts: Therefore 1. Resolved, That this Conventiot do now constitute its Mission Boards, a its agents for the distribution of the Br ble. The Foreign Mission Board, will therefore, collect and receive the fund for Foreign Distribution ; and the Do mestic Mission Board, the funds for Do mestic Distribution, and make such ap propriation of them a the donors maj direct, or as shall in their judgment seen expedient. 2.

As the Counvention has no connectior with any Publication Society, youl committre submit for adoption of the fqllowing Resolution: Resolved, That this Convention doe: nor deem it advisable to embarrass it self with any enterprise for the publica tion and sale of books. The Rev.James B. Taylor, Chair roan of 1he Comrnittr e, on obtainini suitable MissionariEs, and a Theologica Institution for the China Mission, made his repori, which is as follows : The Committee concur most hear tily pith the Foreign Mission Board it their conviction of the importance of in creasing the number of Missionaries fot China, and of securing a, early as mad be possiblesuitable men for A rica.

The committe wil close tii. report by aecommendin' tie adoption of the 'following tesolu hions : 1st, Resolved, That the Board b instructed to secure at the earli -st prac tical period, a soitablo individual to de vote himself chiefly to the Theologira training ofsrch nattive converts in Chin; as may be employed in the Christiat Ministry. 2d.

Resolved, That it is expedi ni to send to China, as soon as possible a Charistiarn Physician, who shall tiso be engaged in imparting the knowledge Divine :Truth;. *The Rev. Mr. Poindexter offered thb follow ing resotlut on: *Resolved, That tis Convention ap pointt a preacher at each mneeting of thn body, to deliver a sermon on the nigi; ot thae second-day of thte ensuing ses sions, with a view to the promotion c 'Domnestic Missions, so that the Con vention sermon be appropriated to th promotion of Foreign Missions. Resolved, That a committee be op pointed to nominate aptcarher and a] ternate for tt-is service.- - The chair. appointed the followin; committee: i. Culpepper, S. S. Sum mter, R. 13. C. Howell, Wa. C. Cranc and Rev. WV. C. Buck. The- Commi:tee on the instructionc thte colored people, through their chair mart, tile Re-v. M e. Saunders of Georgi made a report. It recommends that thr chturches and associations throughout th Southterni States, should look more as sidurously to the religious instructionc tis portion of our population. Thr 'chairman followed the report with som remtarks of a pertinent character. Ta e Rev. Mr. Talbird of Alabamr urged the subject of the Repor t upo the Convention, and said that lie ha been appointed as Chairman of ;a Cotm mrittee under the Baptist Conventionc Ajabana, to prepare a proper Cate chaism for the use of Color ed people. H found, on enquiry, there were severt denominatioana works already-bait Se( taliarn in their nature. That a goo brother of his State ~yas.now' compiiin one, and hae'suggested it as a proper on 'for.,his onentinon to renmmrend: Rev. Mr. Walker, of Virginia,strongly approved of the proposition that this 'Convention should turn its attention to ithe religious condition of the Colored people-but he %vould not: recommend he use of any book, until he knew what it contained. He supposed that the t Home Mission Board were amply able s to judge of its fitness, Rev. Mr. Finch, of N C., and Prof. Mims of S. C., took the same view that we should be cautions how we rec-4 I ommend books for such purpose. Rev. Mr. Hayne's of Charleston and James C. Crane, of Richmond,. took I the same view-and suggested that our. recommendations might -conflict .with the laws ofsome of the States-besides it wa3 recommending a book we had never seen. Rev. Mr. Jeter and Dr. Johnson like, wise thought that it was overstepping our groper limits. Rev. Messrs. -Hartwell and De Voite sustained that part of the report- which recommended the publication of a Cat echism for the colored people. Prof. Ryland of Richmond ;College, hoped i tht a Catechism of some kind would be recommended for the- oral instrnc tiona of the colored people. The ob jective clause of the report was stricken out, and the report as amended was adopted. " The comhrmittee on an organ of pub licatio", inrotgh the Chairman, the Rev. Dr. Meredith of N. C., made a report. It recommends the "Monitly Jourral,'' proposed to be published in this city, by t:.-v. Mr. Davenport, as its organ for Domestic Missions. The report was ' agreed to. Rev. W. C. Buck offered the follow ing resoltuon : - Resolved, That this Convention re joice in t.he enlarged and successful Ia bors of the American Indian Mission Asdciation, and tender to that body 1assurances of our paternal and Chr!ila syrmpautes . in. ts, a bors ot ive. . The Convention then adjourned with prayer .by Rev. J. Harrison, of New Jetsey, at 4 o'clock, P., M. Alondayl, Junc 15. o Tha Contvention met at 9 o clock in the 2d Baptist Charreli, and was opened with singing, and prayet by the Rev. M1r. Shepherd. The minues of the pieceedings of e Saturday were read. On motion, Resolcerl, That it be re commended to all the churches in the bounds o'f this Convention to observe the monthly concert of prayer fot the revi val of genuino religion, and the success of the gospel throughout the earth, and that collections be taken up at these I meetings to aid these objects. Oriiotion of Rr v. J.

After a great deal of desultory de bate, the report wvas amended.so as to -recommend the "Missionary Journal," at Richmond, as an appropt;ihte organ tfor the Foreign Missionary Board, and - to recommtend to the Board of Daimes f tic Missions the selection of sonme cheap periodicalI, published at a convenient a point, for the publication of such itnfor mation as they may deem proper to dis, semmiate., - Thec venerable President of the Con vention having left the chair for a few muoments, Mr. McGill arose and remark -ed, that when the heart speaks, its words are few, simple and plain. He made this' remtark by way of introduction to the resolution he was. abat-to offer and the few, words with wvhich lie wo~uld en force it. He then read the following resolution: - Resolved, That the thanks of 'his bo, fdy be tendered to its presiding- officer, e the R--v. Win. B. Johnson, -D. D., for e thn dignity, courtesy, and 'kindness with which the duties of the Chair have been fulfilled. a No mere 'human mind, said Mr..
