AT CLEVELAND, OHIO?A HRIDC El). 7*o tit'. Etluor of tin National Era: At a Krge and respectable meeting of the citizens of Cleveland, held at the Empire Hall on Friday evening, -September 11th. for the purpose of discussing the Fugitive law, John A Foot was called to the Chair, and M. C. VouDglove and 11 F. iiraylon were appointed Secretaries. Meeting opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Perry. Joel Tiffany moved that a committee of five bo appointed to present resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. The Chair nominated the following persons on said committee: Joel Tiffany, Reuben Hitchcock, George A. Ilcnedict, II. V. Wilson, and George O. II. Knapp. This committee having retired, on call of the meeting, it was most eloquently and enthusiastically addressed by Edward Wade, Rev. Dr. Perry, and Rev. Dr. Aiken. ? The following resolutions, reported by the committee, were passed unanimously. On motion of M. C. Voutiglove, the following committee were appointed by D/ef hair to carry out the object of the >th resolution j\l C. Vounglove. Samuel Starkweather, Kdwaid Wade, Thomas llolton, and J. W liriggs. On motion F.tvwtd Wade, 'i-~ f'b?'r nppointed the following persons on committee to prepare and circulate petitions to Congress for the repeal of the Fugitive law, and procure the uec.ssary funds to defray the expenses incident to the same: Dudley llaldwin, Parker Handy, Harvey Rice, Huckley Steduuin, aud Joel Tiffany. ). R>solrtif That the pasnge of the Fugitive law was an act unauthorized by the Constitution, hostile to every principle of justice and humanity, ami if persevered io, fatal to Human Freedom. 11'soh That that law strikes down some of the dearest principles upon which our fathers predicated their right to assert and maintain their independence, and is characterized by the most tyrannical exercihe of power; and that it cannot ho sustained without repudiating the doctrine* of iho Declaration of Independence, and the principles upon which all free Governments rest. 3 Rtsolvl, That tyranny consists in the wilfully violating, by those in power, of man's natural right to personal security, personal liberty. and private property ; and it matters not whether the act is exercised by one man or a million of Dion it is equally unjust, unrighteous, and destructive of the ends of all just Governments. t R-.solvd, That, regarding some portions of the Fugitive law as unconstitutional, and the whole of it us oppressive, unjust,and unrighteous, we deem it the duty of every good citizen to denounce, oppose, and resist, by all proper means, the execution of said law, and that we demand its immediate and unconditional repeal, and will not cease to agitate the question, and use all our powers to secure that object, uutil it is accomplished. '> R'lolrttl, That we recommend that a meeting of the citizens of this county be hel l at Cleveland on the "iOth day of Ootoher instant, to consider said law, and take such action thereon as may be deemed expedient.

The following resolutions were presented. discussed, and adopted Resolvril, Th it the nets of Congress, concerning persons held to service and labor in one Suit- and ; escaping into another, are at war with the Con- ' Htitution, with the received maxims of common law, with the rights of the people, with the free exercise of true religion, with human nature itself, I with the principles of national justice, with the J law of our Creator; and wc therefore hold our- i selves hound to consider and treat them, before i God and man us being absolutely null and void. i!. Rrsolrr,!, That we hold them to be unconsti- 1 tutionsl, because they do not provide for a trial ' by jury, nor the due process of law ; because they create tribunals unauthorized by the Constitu- | tion, couft-r upon them unconstitutional powers, make them dependent on the power that appoints them, and oiler a bribe to decide against the de- 1 fendant, removing from him ill means of defence, i suspending iu Lis case the habeas corpus, and excluding his testimony while receiving that of the plaintiff, thus superseding and displacing the independent judiciary, which the Constitution was designed to establish ; because, moreover, instead ' of establishing justice, causing doiuestio tranquil- I lity, providing for the general defence, securing , the blessings of liberty, and guaranteeing every | State in this Union a Republican form of Government, they are obviously (not to say notoriously) ' designed to overthrow mid counteract all these i noble ends for winch the Constitution was formed, j f>.

Because. for the last thirty years, it has proven r withering nn<! unmitigated curse upon the South, having ioll,.d us during this period of not loss thin one thousand millions, to build up Northern intereHtM mid institutions. Because it has. by its lute action, destroyed the sovereignty and equality of fifteen States of this Confederacy, and degraded them to the condition of oolonial dependencies. Because it has cease I to afford us protection in auy particular, its whole aim being to break down and destroy the South Because it ia un Abolition (Government, striking directly at the institutions nud domestic policy of the section in which we live, ita whole legislation being shaped to this end, and having this only for its object. Because, in fine, it has most signally failed, as tin experiment of the capacity of the people for self-government, inasmuch as the rights ol one section has been trampled under foot, to stratify the fanaticism and lust for power of the other. ]Ve are w favor of i/t dissolution or disunion? Because it will bring wealth and greatness to the South, und?r n Southern Confederacy, which must inevitably arise from dissolution. Because it will restore the sovereignty, independence, and (quality of the Southern States Because it will afford us protcotion in our persons, property, &o. Because it will kill off the foul spirit of Aboli lion, by tuking away the food it feeds on. Because it will put an end to Widnappiug and TH border thieving. and restore peace and security to the frontier States. Because it will promote the cause of religion, morality, and civilization, in the South. Because it will build up a system of internal improvements, increase the number of schools, colleges, &c. Because it will destroy entirely pauperism, by enabling every man, not physically diseased, to earn his daily bread, and accumulate, from the abundance of our prosperity, n fortune for himself in a short time. Because it will renew and perpetuate the experiment of the capability of the people for selfgovernment. r Because, even if the slavery question is settled, the seeds of discord have been too deeply sow n by the North, ever to bring forth any other fruit than hostility, and constant wrangling between the two sections. Because the Union is too large, and .composed of too various interests, ever to harmonize together. Because we honestly believe the Almighty never intended that the generous and noble Southerner should constitute one people, with the cold, calculating, plundering Yankee. For tbe National Kfa.

REPLY TO SECESSION No. I In rcveiwing (he articles of my brother, I hope I shall not use epiihetH which the enemies have applied to him hy way of opprobrium ; and I would suggest if the brother would not do well to ccnse applying the term " Come-outers,'' and, when he speaks of the brethren of the Free Church, give them their appropriate assignations. Ilrother Fullertou first notices a proposition 1 iid down by Hrother George Gordon: That the act of secession from a corrupt church is essentially the s ime its that of suspending or excommunicating a disorderly or reprobate member/' 1 le says " It follows of course, that when we withdraw from an erring branch of the true l.tr tlwi nntlw.rif I' nf I IpuVPtt WA Hllpnrt* fill its ministers, and debar from the communion table ail its membersand predicated upon this ire all the rcnurks which he makes concerning Mr Noel, Isabella Graham, and others If it should prove not true, as he asserts, that the ministers of such a church are silenced, and her members all debarred from the communion table, nil that he has said about Baptist Noel and others is not pertinent. Here we take issue with our brother, and deny that its ministers ar>- all sienced, or its members debarred from the communion table. What is meant by excommunicating a church ? Nothing more, than that the ministers and members of that church are not any longer recognised as Christian ministers and Christian people, simply because they are connected with it as ministers and members We hold that their relation to the church no long< r gives them a claim upon us, for the extension of Christian communion or Christian recognition There may, however, he ministers and members in it, who, from the relation which they sustain to Christ, may claim from us Christian communion. This is all wo understand Brother Gordon as teaching, snl all that necessarily follows from his proposition 1 would illustrate by an example. We have withdrawn from the Old School and New School lTeshytcriau churches. What huvo we said by that withdrawal? Clearly thin: that, because they retain in their communion ministers and 1 lymen who prsotioe sluvehnlding, we cannot recognise u mm to he a minister, or a Christian, simply because he is in good and regular standing in those bodies. This we are bouud to do, according to the constitutions of those churches, if wo remain constituent parts of them. If, however, we should be couvined, from sources other than their m-ni'i-rsh/p in those bodies, that some of the ministers are Christian ministers, and some of the members are Christian people, we may, and ought to, recognise them as snob. We excommunicate them as Pn.ibift'TkiHS, because their being such is no evidence of Christian character, since the vile slaveholder is a good Pn shytexum ; but we commune with them as Christians, on their giving us Scriptural evideuci jf their Christum character. If, then, there should be as good Christians in churches from which we have seceded as IsaMla (Jraham, and the " Withrrepoona and Chalmerses," as we trust there arc, we do not exclude them from the Lord's table, nor depose them from the uiiuistry. All, therefore, that the good brother has said on this subject, frightful as it may have appeared to him, is foreign to the (jueslions in controversy. Those frightful cjnsc<|ucnoos which seemed to have inspired him do not follow " of course." Those who are opposed to secession from hopel?*ily corrupt churches rely greatly for defence upon the example of the Saviour and his Apostles Urothsr Kullertoa thinks it is to us a " cape of storms ' lie says "This argument, from the example aud directions of our Lord, has given intiuite trouble to the advocates of secession. No two can agree as to the way to meet it " This argument has been met in several ways, and may be refuted iu many more ways, it is not uiy iutentioii, iu reply, to attempt a vindication of all the E NATIONAL ERA. replies to this argument; this would take up too much space in the columns of the Era. 1 shall only notice those that arc, in uiy opinion, more important to refute the argument. It does seem to uie, that there is cogency in the nrgiira< ut that there was hut one church in olden times, and our Lord and his Apostles had either to connnune in it, or go to the world." In reply to this argument, it is asked, ' And is there more than one church now ?" We answer, with respect to outw ird organization, that there is. Under the Old Testament dispensation, there was but one outward form of religious organization?an absolute given by Dirine authority, from which, at the peril of God's sore displeasure, no one could depart There were officiating officers appointed of God, upon whose ministrations the people were i- />itrnl to waif, and, without incurring God's displeasure. they could not wait upon the minis'ratinns of others. There was one place where these i officers must minister, and they were not allowed to minister any where else. This is not the case under the New Testament dispensation. There is no absolute patterns giren, but men may worship God acceptably under rarious forms of or ganiz ition . anil there are various rorms 01 organization. Religious teachers of different families and nations, inducted into office in different ways, tnay officiate in a manner acceptable to God .None but bigot til Catholics will deny this declaration. Under the Old Testament dispensation, ass ciation with men whose moral characters were not pure, in the outward forms of religion, was of necessity. It was not a voluntary act on the part of the individual, whether in worshipping God. in the outward forms, he should do it in connection with men whose moral characters were pure or not. If he worshipped God according to his institution, he must associate with men whose moral characters were not pure. And such was the peculiar character of the Old Testament church, that no guilt was attached to those who thus associated But the character of the church under the New dispensation lays us under no such necessity, and is such as requires us not to associate with men whose moral character is impure There is a glorous liberty from the restrictions and burdens of the Old dispensation granted to us under the N> w, and no man shall bring rne again into bondage The immediate ends of the two dispensations were so different, that to reason from one to the other is fallacious. The one dispensation was a schoolmaster to bring unto Christ?that is, to teach the nature of the true Gospel Hnd illustrate its purity , the other is a proclamation of the true Gospel, without the schoolmaster The one had the shadow; the other has the image, i nererore neeiuBc mere was but one forui of outward organixation. and because of the peculiar character of that orgtnization, if men worshipped God in it, they must associate with persons whose moral characters were not pure, nnj they were required to worship in that org.;7.*iJllon, there was no guilt attached to them for thus worshipping. We think the broth- | er mistakes the point of Mr. Hawkins's argument I think Mr. Hawkins's argument is, that >. Snwi/Mjr did not comvnituv with the Pharisees and Sadducees, when he ate the Passover with his Disciples Hut my argument, drawn from the typical character of the church under the Jewish dispensation, seems to excite the brother's wonder The proposition I laid down, when quoted in full, is this: "The church, umtcr tii? Mosaic <li<)i'HW/ion, was typical, ' exhibiting, by types and shadows and oeremonies, what was really to be possessed in the Christian dispensation." So, long, therefore, as her typical J institutions were kept pure, the end of her insti, I tution was attained, no matter what might he the j moral character of her ministers and members in other respects." Brother Fullerton represents mens saying that the church under the Mosaic dispensation was "merely typical." That the Jews had nothing but a "typical kingdom." Hut surely I said no such thing ; nor docs the argument which I draw from this proposition necessarily require, in order to j V- 1--!? ??--? I ??? ?.,?k ' ue cuuuium vt-, iu;u i hdouiuc nuj uitu gi>/uu<i. What I intended to say. and what a fair construe- I tion of my language, when fully quoted, makes me i say, was, that the church under the Mosaic dis- ; pensation had, as a distinctive characteristic, a I ! typical character. That is, she presented under [ types, and shadows, and ceremonies, that which we possess as glorious realities; and that this was the immediate end which uhe was intended to answer under that dispensation i expressly stated in what her typical character oonsisted, viz " in exhibiting by types, and shadows, and ceremoI nies. what was really to be possessed in the Chris- j tian dispensation." I say again, without fear of I [ successful contradiction, that the great tlisiinj i'H' characteristic of tho church under the Mosaic despensation, when compared with the church 1 under the Christian, is, that she presented under J types, and shadows, nnd ceremonies, wh it we have in glorious realities. Brother Kullerton savs "there were typiual persons, and typical ordinances, in the Old Testament church. And so there are now.'1 But I ask, in all oandor, was not the whole framework of that dispensation typical? So much so, as to give character to the church under it. That is not the fact with respect to the New Testament churoh. The Old Testament church had her typical High Priest, her typical sacrilices, her typical priesthood, her typical sanctuaries, shndowing forth the church , and her ? -1 1 V-1- -1 DV. k..l typical I leaven, uir inusi tuny jihu-i- ?->iik iin her typical purifications nnd rites. The truth is, ami there can he no disguising it, that nearly nil the forma of worship in the church, under the Mosinc dispensation, were typical. If the forms of worship in any church in our times were as uniformly and as essentially corrupt as were the forms of the Jewish church typical, none would hesitate to pronounce it a corrnjO church Why, then, hesitate to cill the Jewish church in these things h.pical. But, Tlrother Fullerton siystbey are represented as being the same kingdom ; and this they could not lie, if one had a typical charne'er, and the other has not. Hut we beg leave to differ. Their identity may consist with these differences The Apostle, in his letter to the Ephesians, declares that " the Old Testament and New Testament, saints were both brought into the same church, by taking away this typical character,"' hy abolishing in his tlesh the enmity, even the law 0/ tomnia iotm> it's contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man ; and thus was the " middle wall of partition " broken down between the Jew and Gentile. It was asserted in the argument to which the brother objects, that in admittance to the offices and membership of the Old Testament church, respect was had to the typical, nnd not to the personal, holiness of thoae admitted. That the great end of the church under the Mosaic dispensation was to exhibit truth by types and shadows, and that nothing more was essential in order to a plncp in the church, than that typioal purity which would fit thcin as typical persons thus to proclaim truth The High Priest was a type of Chri.-t. not in his moral character, but in his typical character. If typically holy, therefore, he might accomplish the end In view. He might show forth the perfect holiness of Christ So the I.amb, if typically perfect, though it had no moral character whatever, could show forth Christ as our sacrifice. So the membership of the church, it' atonement by the blood of the sin offering had been made for their sins, typically, and they had been purified by sprinkling of water according to God's institution, could represent, in their typical holiness, what a person must be in order to have communion with God and enter into Heaven. This great truth wis proclaimed not by thp moml character. hut hy the ii/jm-nl character of the individual The great end of the institution was therefore utt lined hy the shadow, viz to teach a man that he must be holy in order to hoi ! communion with God or enter into Heaven. Men were not taught that they hat eotmnunion with God in the ceremonies of theOld Testament dispensation, but these ceremonies taught them how they might have communion with him. They w.-re not taught that the blood of the l.ambtook away theirsin, hut that the blood of Christ, whom the l.amb typified, would take away their sins. To teach was the end of the typical institutions. The ceremonial law was a 44 schoolmaster," to bring the Old Testament sinner to Christ, nnd when it had done this work, it had accomplished the end of Its institution. As typical purify, nud not moral purity, w:ia that which was essential, it wus argued that we might remain innocently with those who were typically holy, though they might not be morally holy, and that therefore the Saviour and his Apostles might remain innocently in the Jewish church nfter its members had become morally corrupt, provided they were typic illy pure; aud the church was typically pure, essentially. This is a mere abstract of the argument. In the course of the argument it was stated that every circumcised person who was ceremonially cle.au had a right to a place in the congregation of Israel. And how is this declaration prove 1 incorrect 1 The brother s iys, if he means that he had a right to the communion of the church, nothing is more uutrue If Brother Fullerton will show me that a person could have a place in corgregation, and not have communion in the church, it would indeed he a light-house on this "cape of storms'' But whit are bis arguments to show its ioaocuracy? He says, 44 We find in the New Testament that the Jews sometimes cast men out of the synagogue" Are we to take the 1 usages of the Jews as divine authority I According to the brother's owu argument, they cist our Lord and his disciples out of the synagogue; nnd 1 does that show that, according to the institution of God, they had a right to do it f In New Testament times, 1 presume, the Jews cast more peo. I pie out of the synagogue for maml/ty than for iiu- ! mtrt'lify. This reminds ine of William Graham's ! argument for the di*ine authority of catching I runaway slaves, lie said it was a custom among j WASHINGTON, 1). C he J?w*; for Sbimei went to Achlsh for hie ser- j vants I do not know what we might not prove, 1 if the custom of the Jews wore Authority. But, < by the w iy, the synagogue itself is not nn institution of God. It forms no part of the church under the Mosaic institutions; and when a man was i excluded from the synagogue, it did not shut him i out from the privileges which belonged to a mem- i l>er of the church in Old Testament times It 1 was was an institution of man, for convenience in < instruction, altogether without ordinances or regulations by divine appointment lie says " that 1 the discipline of the Jewish church, according i to the law was remarkably rigid For some of- l fences, such as blasphemy, the offender was put 1 to death." He might have added, that they were < nlso put to death for murder We all know that t these were crimes against the state as well as 1 against the church, and that the penalty of death was inflicted hh a judicial arrangement. It whs I to protect society in general that these penalties 1 were enacted. Hut in all the instances in which I the individual was to be cut off from the con^rt- i Ration, or was forbidden to enter it, reference is ' had to ceremonies, and not to personal jjnmorali- 1 ty. 1 hold myself prepared to show tbis, whenever it is called in question Let the brother ' bring forward his instauces. The charge which i the prophet Ezekiel brought was, that ungodly l .*%/Mgtrr were brought into the sanctuary They were uncircumcistd in flesh, and in heart also. They 1 were ttrvngcri, and not citizens. The uncircum- ' cision in heart was a mere incidental circumstance, and not the important matter of corruption. He also alludes to the 1.1th Psalm The > Pealmist evidently alludes to the tabernacle in a I figurative sense, and the inquiry is virtually who 1 shall have a dwelling place in the real body of Christ, of which the tibernacle was the type Dr Scott says, "the Psalmist addressed himself to God, desirous of being taught who would be the accepted and persevering worshippers at his tabernacle This was typical of the true church of God on earth, all the members of which are heirs also of heaven. The inquiry therefore is vir? WL. v. cu:..? n~.i ! lUJlliy tais . ?Y UV 13 UC lum ov nviomp ^.vu IU this world, as to have a well -rounded nope of et> rnal life hereafter ?" It was never intended to proclaim what character a man should have before ' he could, according to God's institution, be a member of the congregation of Israel. We are sometiin. a charged with teaching that there was a different morality taught under the I Old Testament from what is taught under the New. Hut we think this is a mistake. We hold that the types and ceremonies of the Mosaic dispensation taught, as necessary to acceptance with | God. as pure a morality as do the truths of the Gospel and the institutions of the Christian ; church All we assert is, that the some personal morality in order to membership in the congregation of Israel was not required as is required in order to membership in the New Testament .jphurth And we account for .this bv reason of iTer typical character. We uo hold all elf.ir s to induce church mambers to fellowship as Christians those who may be as corrupt as the Jews were in the days of oursS'v1""". on/' e?c*?ive ?<* , ministers of the pure Gospel of Christ those guilty of as great abominations as the ministers of religion in the Jewish church in the times of our Lord, as exceedingly destructive of all moral sense. Let us consider briefly what are the sins laid 10 me cnarge or inai people. i ney sronea me prophets, and killed them that were sent unto them ; they crucified the son of God ; they, for u pretence, made long prayers, and devoured widows' houses; they perverted the institutions of religion into a system of paganism; they denied the divinity of Christ?yea, denied Christ ultogether; many of them denied the existence of spirits and the resurrection of the dead, they denied the doctrine of justification by faith, and 1 the regeneration of the soul by the Spirit of God ; they were a set of abominable hypocrites; they were a wicked and adulterous generation; the Saviour says they were like whited sepulchres? that they were a generation of vipers The fact is, they were no better than the Oatholiccburch is now; they were not as good The men of the world itself are bettor than they were. 1 s y it without the fear of successful contradiction, that the ungodly world in the free States, in point of orthodoxy, and morality, and pure affection, are far in advance of those who were the teachers and prominent persons in the Jewish church. The doctrine that will reconcile us to remaining in such a body will reconcile us to remain out of it. You will not very easily persuade men that it is their duty to abandon the world, which is better, and join a churoh, which is worse This doctrine, that we must remain in a church when it is as bad as the Jewish church, because the Saviour did not withdraw from it, when looked at in its practical hearing, is monstrous. This diviuo right of churches and ministers, as bad, if not, worse, than the men of the world, to have spiritual rule over God's people, might suit a Catholic, hut it comes with rather a bad grace from a Protestant. We think i" would not be easy "to behold the beauty of God-' in such ai temple. y RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. Wi'vr Amir*.?Accounts of a very interesting character have lately been received from West j Africa, llev. George Thompson has penetrated j into the interior, about WOO miles, (.'too following ; the course of the river,) where the people had j never before seen a white man. Mr. T. was ?t*nt out to West Africa, about two years ngo, by the 1 Americm Missionary Association, as successor to j Rev. William Raymond, who accompanied the Amistad Africans to their native country. He w is stationed at a place called Kaw-Mcndi, on the Little Boom river, about 100 miles south of Sierra Leone, and AO miles from the coast, this being us near the Mendi country as the missionari'B could reach, owing to the wars then prevailing in that region. His efforts to instruct and benefit fhe people were greatly hindered by the war which was raging among the different tribes in the Sherbro country, and *bich extended far hick into the Mendi country. This war had prevailed several years. The consequence was, that several towns were quite depopulated, the cultivation of the soil was almost abandoned, the people suffered sorely front famine, and multitudes were cirried to the coast and sold into si ivory. The women and children were often obliged to go out in se irch of berries and fruits, to keep themselves from starving. Things went on in this way for more thin a year after M r Thompson's arrival, the war raging all around the mission Meanwhile lie had been gaining the confidence of the ehi fs and people on huh sides Mr Raymond, his predecessor, who labored there some five or six years, had done much to promote a friendly feeling among the natives. This has always been made a prominent object with the mission, because these wars are the great means of perpetuating the traffic in slaves. In fact, to suppress war in Africa is to suppress the slave trade. During the whole time, the mission premises had been ooosi lered as neutral ground, it being well understood that the missionary there was a man of p^aee, and preached a Gospel which forbade wir and enjoined on nil men to love one another. At length Mr. Thompson os'omblcd a largo number of the chiefs nnd principal men at the mission house, and spent several days in hearing their causes of complaint, and endeavoring to reconcile them to one another They .were all heartily tired of the war, but ueither party waa inclined to make much concexstion I lowevcr. by dint of argum nts, persuasions, and presents, he succeeded in bringing them round so that they concluded on terms of peace. This w is a most joyful event (o a people who had endured aff (he horrors of savage warfare for nearly nine years. Hut as there were other tribes nf a distance, who were concerned in this war, Mr Thompson found that to secure the advantage already gained, and insure a general an 1 permanent peace, it would be necessary for liitn to visit them. On the 111th of March last, he starfe) on this benevolent errand, taking with him Thof as |!unysn, his interpreter, (i native Men lian ) and five others They made their way in acttioe Up ||1(* j Little Hoom. After following it for some time, ! they entered a fine large river, a* wide th?- | ' Ohio or Mississippi This nnhle stream is rilled, | 1 in distinction from its tributary, the llig llmim | , They followed it ns for us Tissuni. a1.-?rjr<* w died | i town at the head of navigation Mere he wasmet by Mraw, the priooipal chief on tint ?i I, |f the , war, This chief had heard of the Chri-ti in re- < ligion through Bunyan, nn i some years hefi.re. j had visited the mission at Ksw-Mendi Me h.i l long desired to have a teacher come to his c unit ry. and w is overjoyed when he heard of Mr Thotnp- i son's arrival. The nccount of their fir-t interview j < is so interesting that we must give it in his own words. Mr. T. says ' On the wide sand beach he cime down to, meet me, and as he approached, I eoul I heir him exclaim, ' O, U.i-wuw ! O. fe-a-ra (J ,?i? | Fenra 1 G'twaw ! Fears, fcara, feara G iwuw !' which is, j ' O, think God! Thank God! Th.mk, think, thank God!' lie repeated it uimy times an we met, ami cmbraocd mc with all the warmth of a , long absent father The scene wis touching to , i my heart. The town was full of joy at my ht- ' riv d , every face beamed with gladness, and from ! , all the country round, where the ti lings ll.-wr as r on the wings of the wind, they tloekc I to Tiacma to get a view of the white man For days I could do little else but content myself to be put up to , 1 public faxe, shake hands from morning till night, ' and heir their exclamations of wonder, and their ; thanks for my coming to their country to teach them " After a few days spent at Tissanv, during which, at llruw a earnest request, Mr. Thompson If NOVEMBER 28, ] entered into an agreement to establish a mission there, be started, accompanied by this friendly chief, to rielt the tribes on the other side. He passed through gre it d ingers and hardships, from which his health suffered serrrely; but, after spending about two months among them, he had the happiness of seeing his labors crowned with suocess Peace was established; great were the rejoicings among chiefs and people. Under date of April 8th, he siys: " From day to day, I witnessed thrilling Bcenes; warriors meeting nnl falling on each other's necks; chiefs, who hare for years been enemies, now shnking hands and embracing with the affection of long separated friends; sisters, wires, laughters, long captirc, falling into each other's irins with great emotion, sinking on the ground, weeping long and loud before they can be quieted. Now a chief's daughter is seen running to embrace her father's feet, refusing to be torn from ber hold; then n wife returned to embrace her busband and children ; whila-the whole town join in the cry of rejoicing. To witness such scenes, lay after day, who could help shouting? 1 will rejoice with them nnd praise the Lord." They told Mr Thompson that no one but a white man could hare brought about this peace; and jaid they had long been praying that God would send a white man to stop the war. Mr T. says : "About one o'clock, we met in the Barrc (Pakrer house) again, and two more interesting, enthusiastic, spirited, good-natured peace meetings I nerer attended. The 'king's mouth' made a long speech, and thanked me very much?could not thank me enough?spoke again of the feeling which had long existed among them, that no colored man could stop the war?th>t unless a white nun should come to hel l it, it could never be stopped; but God had gent a white man, and they could not deny his word ; and added, ' We do not know how to express our joy and thankfulness nt your comiDg.'" While thus engaged, Mr. Thompson lost no opportunity of unfolding to them the great truths of the Gospel He found everywhere a readiness to listen. Their hearta seemed in a wonderful manner prepared to receive the truth , they welcomed him ns an ambassador of Heaven, and. when he left, begged earnestly that he would send them teachers. Here, then, is an inviting field all ready for the harvest. Mr. Thompson writes: " They welcome the Gospel as glad news?as the thing they need. They call for schools and teachers Skill thnj hat* iit-m / The impression is strong in favor of white men coming among them. Missionaries and teachers would be received with open arms and shouts of joy. There is an undoubted call of God to plant the Gospel in this country. Shall it he heeded ? " Young men and women, what say you ? Young ministers, doctors, mechanics, what do you answer ?
