Rational beings alwaysact from motive.

If the church is ever the instrument of the world's conversion, there must be a distinction between the religion of church and the religion of Ihe world, marked as the difference between light and 'Be not conformed lo this world: but be ye transformed, by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and gavetwlders chrfatbo Sajis Proff.

body that its very existence depends upon the admission that slave-holding shall aol be made a bar to communion With regard lo the position of the New School body, we refer to what has been said above. Both bodies we consider as now standing pledged to the stave-power. Both are united in crushing the poor slave to the earth, robbing him of the light of heaven, and consigning him to hopeless, remediless despair. Every one who adheres lo those bodies ihus fir supports them, and supports them their work- Both bodies have their bone, sinew, and vitality, in Ihe northern churches. Without Ihe support of these they wnuld both die.

Nay, more; i the support of professedly unli-slavtry churches, they would die. From the adherance of professedly churches they tie- rive their power, and consequently their power lo crush the stave. Brethren, we cannot lend our aid in this work, for God has commanded us to 'Remember them that ore in bonds as bound with them, and Ihem that suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the Duly to the poor down-trodden slave requires us to withdraw fellowship from all who are engaged in this unholy work. We expect soon lo meet those staves at the bar of God. We i meet them fteed from their blood, We might assign many other reasons for our present step, i to us appear important, but we do not wish lu write a book, nor make our manifesto so intolerably long that no one i read it.

The reasons we have given have been sufficient lo satisfy our own consciences in a i ibis step, and we hope they wilt satisfy others. We are aware that we shall be met with the cry of 'schism! M'limn But we know too that there never was a reformation attempted in any age but it had to encounter the same mad- dog cry. It has been Ihe rod of terror-the sceptre of ecclesiastical despotism, held over the heads of those who would seek a reformation in corrupt churches in every age. God being our helper, we i not be turueit back from our purpose by it. It is no schism to separate from a church organization thai has aken away Christ's laws, and substituted their own in their stead.

There can only be schisms in wantonly, and for wicked purposes, making a division in Christ's body. Such an organ- izttion is in no propec sense of the term, the body of Christ. That there are many good and pious chris- tians in the two great Piesbyterian organizations, we are happy to believe. Many there are, too, we know, who mourn over stall of things they cannot remedy in iheir present connection. We will not reproach them wilh cowardice, or lack of principle.

Perhaps they i WQ have gone toofast, i we i they are too slow. This is a mere difference of opinion in point of time, ar.d we are i i to trust to developments to determine who is right. But dear brethren, we ask you to examine your position carefully, in view of your duty lo God, to Christ, the the nnd the suffering millions of crushed end bleeding slaves, and see if yours is not a wrong position. We now present ourselves to the world as a Presbyterian denomination, embracing fully the doctrines of ihe reformnlion, as embodied in the Confession of i and adopting the Presbyterian Form of Government. We are indeed few in numbers, but in this we are not without illustrious precedents, and we trust that the Lord will add to as of such as shall be saved.

We have assumed the name of The Presbyterian Church of because we desire to be associated wilh nil our Anti-slavery brethren who adopt, wilh us, the same Constitution. And we intend planting our churches wherever, on the continent of America, ihe Lord i enable us so to do. And we say to our A i slavery brethren, Old School, and New, come out from pro-slavery associations and unite with us in supporting a Presbyterianism pure in its doctrines and government, aud free from the polluting influences of Slavery. In Europe, Presbyterianism has been trammelled by connection wilh civil government, and in this country it has always been corrupted and paralyzed by its connection wilh slaveholding. let the experiment be made of what pure and untrammelled Presbyterianism can accomplish in reclaiming and saving (us God's instrument,) our fallen race.

Come out from among them, and be ya separate sailh the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and 1 will receive you, and I i he a Father unto you, and ye shall ha my sons and daughters, saith the Loid 1 Down let the shrine atJUolock sink.

THE LIBERTY VOTE MUST BE I A There will be a strong eiTort on the part of the Whigs to make Liberty men vote for Tweedy. The same old questions will be put--' Will you give your vole for Van Buren Will you vole for Polk and Texas:" A vote for Birney will be a virluat vote for Polk and Will you vote for Strong You abolitionists are going for Strong, ain't you Will our friends ever learn (hat our power lies in our integrity, our steadfast adherence to our great principles, our symmetry and consistency of do the Whig and Democratic candidates take Ihe highest ground Right where the Liberty parly is most numerous and steadfast. Where and by whom are raised up such men as Giddings, Slade, and King? In those localities where the Liberty strength is most fell and When should Liberty men go for such When they become so anil-slavery that they are willing to leave their own pro- slavery parties for the sake of our anti- stavery principles. From what localities did the delegates to the Constitutional Convention go, who voted for free suffrage From those, where there is a strong Liberty parly influence. How came Tweedy to take this ground? Let the fact that men equally amiable, from sections where the Liberty party has no influence, go, as a general thing, dead against negro suffrage, answer this question.

Now shall we throw away the power by which we have frequently obtained local victories, and by which the entire victory has been more than half achieved, providing we will make use of the ground already occupied We tell our friends that if we come short of our former vote on the Delegate, it will react fearfully upon vs. The cause of universal suffrage will be stabbed the progress of our holy cause in the Territory will be retarded and we shall discourage our friends in other States.

Matters are not at they should be when bad men are promoted. If it would not be we would adopt the sentiment of an old book, which is 'The wicked walk on every aide when the vilest men are The doctrine of which remark, old-fashioned as it is, appears to be this: Tha promoting or put- ling forward, or elevating to power, or pushing into conspicuous positions, corrupt and wicked men, has very demoralizing tendency. Vice and ungodliness are commonly more than bold enough, even when exposed lo the full anil unqualified frown and rebuke of public sentiment, and from all sources, and in all forms, and on all occasions.

Intemperate drinking is likely enough to continue, and to increase in prevalence, without employing and presses, and agents, and public organizations, to advocate and applaud and defend it. The same remark will be equally applicable as regards any other immoral practice. It is, whatever it may he, nil too likely to be bold and even when exposed to the full measure of rebuke nnd denunciation to which its vile character entitles it. But let public sentiment cease from all expression of disapprobation--let all organs of the public voice be kept slill--let no one suggest that these things are wrong and oi" pernicious tendency--and from thii circumstance vice takes fresh courage. Hope elevates, and joy brightens ils Silence is inevitably construed into allowance, if not into approbation.

But the worsl case of all is when vice comes lo be boldly and warmly ami zealously defended: when, instead of its being a bar, or drawback to a man's prospects of promotion, it is applauded, and trumpted abroad, as matter of exalted worth in the i i i a as something which gives hint a titlo to an uncommon share of respect and gratitude and confi- AMOS PHELPS IS DEAD!
