From the Ch'i-dian Advocate and Journal. olu i AsiuoKn ii:tiio;jis.m. Uk.au Bur.iiiu' x: Having been afnonir Methodists conj-iderably more than half a centiiiy, I herewith send you some of my recollections of old fashioned Methodism. This phrase is often made use of by tho;e who know but little of its import, either to prevent some necessary improvement, or to stamp value en something of but little consequence. If you shall judge them worth notice, give them a place in the Advocate and Journal, for the leneiil of croakers. A M nvi, vxoiai. rhilua'JJuJwte 2?, 1836. Before the war of 177G, Methodism laid made but little progress in America. The ministers at that time were missionaries sent frcm England. They refused to take the oath of allegiance. Many considered them enemies sent by the British government to prevent the spread of liberal principles. All lelt this country except Mr. Asbury, and he had to be comparatively stationary.

But some proselytes were made in Maryland and elsewhere; In 1780, the writer began to attend school; the four teachers ho went to in succession Were Methodists, three of whom were afterward preachers, one them was cleik to the parish church; they were all pious and consistent christians. After the peace of 173.5, Mr. Asbury and the little band of preachers went forth, preached Christ, and weie successful in proselyting ma

ny. On that peninsula at that time j (od in sue h a church, is net old fashion

ed Alelhodism.

It has often been predicted that after the death of Mr. Wesley, ihe soci

ety would lie scattered as sheep with out a shepherd, and the name Metho

dist would be lost. Our Wes'.eys, Fletcher, lke, Asbury, W hatcoat,

do much mischief. It

fashioned Methodism, T ito last scimon the writer heard Dr. Coke preach in Baltimore, during his last visit to this country, he ordered a shouting woman to slop, saving if siic was going to preach he would sit down.. In 1812, the w riter attended a certain church in Bhiladelphia several 'oahbaths in succession, where t'ae minister could not conclude his sermons as he wished, being uniformly prevented by the shouting of colored people occupying a pait of the gallery. This to the writer's cars was exceedingly grating, and he concluded that it was not old fashioned Methodism. The simple truths of the gospel preached by the primitive Methodist ministers, reached the hearts of many whose moral characters had been vciv exceptionable, and their sound conversion, manifested by their regular lives, was the subject of much discussion. Among those who had been madly brave, or wickedly wise, were several who went out as ministers to call sinners to repentance. A few of these, who had much to learn and more to unlearn, indulged in eccentricities of manner and expression; butlhe.se eccentricities were peculiarities of their own, and not old fashioned Methodism. Fifty years ago almost all the ilinerant ministers were single men. Sixtylour dollars was all their rules allowe d each one to receive per annum, including all presents that might be made to them. Their Holds of labor were

cxlenive. and their toils and privations

almost beyond human endurance. Some of the few located and entered into business to gain a support. The necessity of a steady supply of niinislers to meet the w ants of the infant bet grow irg church w as manifest, and financing became necessary to raise moans for the support of those ministers who married and their families, in order to secure their services. Some of the members who were fond ol cheap religion, would object and say, This is not old fashioned Methodism. Private houses, barns and sheds, were the first places of worship among the Methodists, where ihe Word of life was preached to the few who would attend on their ministry ; then the. shell

of a house, as much as the straitened

funds of the Methodists and their friends

would enable them to do, was erected

As the membership increased in num

bers, and industry and frugality attend

ed the spread of Christianity, a larger

house and one better suited to the

circumstances of the church, became necessary. When this was proposed to those who loved money more than

the church, the v obiecteu, sawng,

there were but few churches, and they

were Episcopalian , badly supplied with pastors. These denied the most essential points of Christianity. The Methodist ministers soon made themselves friends among a people so hospitable, whose minds were open to conviction. In 1781 or 80, two preachers arrived from l ingland with cocked hats and powdered wigs, and attired in all respects as ministers of the established ihurch. The talents and piety of the Bev. Dr. Coke, and the Kev. B. W'hatcoat gave confidence to the ministry and membership, while they attracted large congregations. u 1787, the writer removed to Baltimore', and lived with one of the stewards of that charge.

Many consultations woe held in piescnce of the writer; and the general conclusion was that such disorders had never been witnessed among Methodists, and that several of the most noisy had no claim to singular picly.

The (government of Mexico sent (iencral Viscare,one of their bravest chieftains, against them, he penetrated to their strongest towns, and compelled them to sue for the fust time for peace, still a predatory warfare is carried on between them and the Mexicans. During the first revolution in Mexico, they sided ever w ith the republican

party. An American citizen who was in Mexico, and who had a Mexican lady for a wife, formed the rallying point for the repulicans in that quarter, the town in which he lived being in a slate of insurrection w as overpow ered by the royalists. The American was thrown into prison, and bis wife condemed lo die. She, with 300 other prisoners appealed lo a higher tribunal at old Mexico.
