large portion of this country
is occupied by Southern men. Qar sojis, brothers and
fellow citircns are there. They need the influences of the
gospel to prevent them from relapsing into a 'itate of
comparative liitrbarism. Cannot two or three men of tho
light ijnalifitaticns bo found, and iht. moans to euslaiq
them, the-, prcsent.fiscal year 1 The following is
а
pqrt of
tlie report, adopted by the Convention at its recent meet--
ing, in relation to*1 now fields.”
The commitMo regard all portions of country represent¬
ed in this Convention as properly the field of Homo Mis¬
sion enterprise, and that no direction is necessary to the
action ot the Homo Hoard, in regard to the limits of thij
coostjtucnoy.
It appears to your committee that California and hew
JJejico have peculiar claims upon tho friends of missions
in the South. Many of the memliers of our Southern
churches have emigrated to tho former during the last two
years, ard their number is now upon the increase. Chris¬
tians in California «re exposed to jaflijenccs peculiarly
unfavorable to the cultivation of the religious feelings.
Tho power which they might exert over the' population,
if aided by missionaries in tho preaching of tho gospel,
the origin and support of Sabbath schools, and the consti¬
tution of churches, will, in a few years, bo in a consider¬
able measure lost, and the masses uninfluenced hv religi¬
ons experience, will, in nil probability, form a character
exceedingly hostile to fpitnre success in tho
еаизе
of Christ.
Their Ideality, the circumstances by which they ire 'sur¬
rounded, tho employment in which multitudes ore engaged,
and the'gcncral influences for evil wLich are brought to
bear upijn them, call upon Us loudly to send thorn tho
missionaries of the' cross.
In regard to New Mexico, there arc considerations pro»-
•pecUrely that should induce us to inltitatd'this field as
rdpHlyaj suitable puch' can bd enlisted in tho work. But
upon thb' point 'ycur'CCBmiUeo- •yriU’-stiVtolarge': ' The'
whole Is respectfully submitted to the cousideralion of tho
Convention.
Importaico of our Field.
In reference to .this subject, the report of the Domestic
Mission Board tbns speaks : —
1 . The field which in the providence of tiod is assigned
ns for cultivation. It embraces the Southern or slave-
holding portion of our great confederacy.

2. The population embraced in this field. It is some
ten millions. More than three millions ofwhom are slaves,
who are wholly dependent
ирюп
those within tho field for
the means of grace.
3. The relation of tho several parts of this field to each
other. Although great diversity of climate, soil, habits
ond pursuits, cbaractcrire those several portions, yet there
are feelings and interests common to all, which are rarely
fouml among the same number of population, occupying
the same extent of territory.
4. The relation that we sustain to tho world of mankied
at largo. Tho time has come when many think that a peo-
I'lu of enr principles and institutions cannot he emphati¬
cally a Christian people. Wo owo it to ourselves, to the
wu-ld, and to the cause of truth, to set forth, practically,
the fact that all our relations and institutions nro compati¬
ble with Christianity.
D. A pimpcctivo view must awaken new ideas of the
importance of tho field. The climate ond soil of this field
tiling so admirably adapted to every variety of commercial,
mechanical, lOanufacturing nud agricultural Interest, It
must idvito an immense population.
0. Its destitution. Soma portions of the field, from
fifty to ono hundred miles square,
его
destitute of
л
min¬
ister of our denomination. It is prceuincd that not enc-
li*lf of tho entire population ia adequately supplied with
the gospel,
7 Tim gospel ulono can savo this people.
0. Tho impracticability of sending 'this gospel to tho
destitute of our country, without this or a kindred organi¬
sation,
3- The Importance of this subject may bo seen from
wlutlms boon accomplished already. Many feeblochurchcs
have been raised from a languishing, perishing condition, to
that of thrift and ability of -self-support, bow fields have
opened, and nor, elm relies constituted of souls converted
through this instrumentality. Even whole States have
keen made to arise from weakness and despondency to
Strength, courage ami activity. Such is tho testimony .if
most of the active and intelligent' porlion of the '.ministry
in Texas, in regard to that State.

Tho Future.
of our mqans of intercourse with tho Pacific border and
far distant Asia • —
Look at our facilities for reaching Asia ond all tho
mighty East. It h true that Whitney’s project for a rail-
roud to the Pacific is for tho present abandoned. He has
now gone to England to docido whether lie will arccpt tho
proposition to superintend her great railroad through the
Oanadas, which she designs shall ho continued on m her
territories to tho far West,
а
reach tho Pacific «hires at
Fuca Straits, opposite to Vi'nwuver’s Island. The route
is said to bo iioitc ns feasible as that proposed by V httnoy
for as in tlm States'to start from Lako Michigan aol strike
the Paeilii) ot l’ugot Sound ; snd tho territory over which
this proposed Engli.h road is to pass, is represented to he
tho finest wheat country in this world.
It is truo this project slumbers for Iho moment, but it is
only thp repose of the lion’s wliolp in htj lair ; of the in¬
fant giant upon his mossy coucli ; or tho volcano) spark in
^Etna’s bosom. That noble plan is gathering strength In
thepublio mind. It may bo opposed and oven ruFjuWd.
But Copernicus, and Columbus, M Fulton, and
Миги,
wero not wanting in strong oppswers. In tide day of tun¬
neling the Alleghanies and bridging Niagara, aixl ia enter¬
prises which know no limit, that railroad will ho built in
some wav or olhor, and that in a few years.
Aim what must ho the vast results upon the commerce
of A hiorica and of the world, nild -especially upon the con¬
version of the world ! With this road completed, at 39
miles per hour, Wo can reach tho Pacific at' tbo Columbia
river Or San Francisco, in five and a half days allowing
almost a day for delays. Thenco to Japan is bnt 4000
miles, which, with steamers at 12, miles per four, would be
readied in 0'days from oar Pacific tonlt, or in fonrtccn
and a half from New Y’ork. From our Paolfic coast to
China it- U 5,400 railcz, requiring hut 20 days, or* frem
New York hut twenty-five and a half days. Tho sea voy¬
age around thp Cape is 1G,№J0 miles, ordinarily repairing
ISOdayZ. Fromour Pacific const, Australia'; 6000 miles,
corld be. mooed by staid in 22 days, or from New York
in twenty-seven ond a half days.
^ ,'Ш
sea voyage, more
than 14,000 miles, consumed upon nU average 115 days.
Froui our Pacific coast, Singapore, C,Gfi0 toiles, oan bo
reached by steam in 25 days, or from Now York in thirty
pnd a half; now tho sea voyage, nearly 15,000 miles, re¬
quires 115 days. Front our Pacific oast to Calcutta it is
8,000 Bti!osrand would bo.teacbed in 28 days, pr.from
New York in Ihirty-thrco and h half days,- Or from- Liver¬
pool in 41. But tho sea voyage is nearly twice os fiir, and
would require 70 days from. Liverpool and eighty and 0
half days more from Now York. . '
Now when our English morolmnts coma to realizo that
they can savu 70 days and our Now York merchants that
they can savo eighty and a half days' time upon every
cargo of teas and sdks front China, think you that for
such a vast national work^ the sum of $52,000,000 for
constructing d. road 2,G30 uulce, tho .fitnds Will be wanting
to construct tins great highway tff our Pacific shores!
And when our Missionary: Boob'd find that they can save
to tho heathen two or three months of tho precious, life of
each missionary, think you that tliiy chuxpb.yvUi be. ixxlifTcr-
oot to such a vast object so directly connected with,. the
conversion of thq world 1 .The nugnificeni results of sugh
