We commence in our present number, an alphabetical list of the names of all the graduates of the New England colleges, dates of their gradua tion, degrees which have been conferred upon them, &c. It will be com pleted in the two subsequent numbers. It is intended to publish an alphabetical list of the names of all the graduates of the other colleges in the United States, as soon as it can be obtained. Histories of Bowdoin, Yale, Middlebury, Williams, Cambridge, Dartmouth, University of Vermont, Brown University, and other colleges, are in a course of preparation: also full ecclesiastical statistics of New York city. A list of all the Presbyterian and Congregational clergymen of Ohio, from the settlement of the State, will also soon be published. The ecclesiastical statistics o the remaining counties of Massachusetts are partly prepared. Various gentlemen well acquainted with local history will assist the editor.

The Register is published on the first days of August, November, February, and May. Each number will contain from 80 to 90 pages, making a volume of 320 or 340 pages, annually. A list of agents is inserted on the cover of cach number. The work is put at the low price of one dollar and fifty cents, with the expectation that there will be a large subscription. On no other ground could it be supported. It will be sent gratuitously to all persons who give to the American Education Society $75 per annum, or the amount of a temporary scholarship.

ordinarily pertaining to their respective offices. The Board of Directors shall have

power to fill their own vacancies-to ap

such other officers as may be necessary, and take all appropriate measures for the vigorous prosecution of the objects of this society. They shall fix the times of their neeting, and form their own by-laws in The conformity with this constitution. Treasurer may be required by the Board of Directors to give bonds in a reasonable sum for the faithful discharge of his duties.

WESTERN EDUCATION SOCIETY. Ar a meeting of the Western Agency of the Presbyterian Education Society, at Cin-point examining committees, agents, and cinnati, Oct. 30, 1834, "after a brief statement of what had been done to educate young men for the ministry in the West, and some remarks relative to the inagnitude of the work, and the importance of united effort," it was thought best that the society should be re-organized for the purpose of increasing it in extent of territory, and in powers and privileges. Accordingly it was done, and the following Constitution was adopted:

Constitution of the Western Education
Society.

ARTICLE 1. This society shall be known
by the name of the Western Education So-
ciety.

ART. 2. The object of the society shall be to educate young men of piety and talents for the gospel ministry within the Valley of the Mississippi, upon the principles, and in conformity with the rules of the Presbyterian and American Education Societies as existing at the time of adopting this constitution, or, as they may hereafter be determined, with the concurrence of the executive authority of this society.

ART. 3. All contributors to the funds of this society residing in the Valley of the Mississippi, shall be members: thirty dollars paid at one time shall constitute the donor a member for life: and one hundred dollars a director for life.

ART. 4. The officers of the society shall be a President, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, a Treasurer, and a Board of Directors, consisting of the Secretaries and Treasurer and nine other members, of whom five shall form a quorum for business at a regularly constituted meeting. These officers shall be chosen by ballot, and continue till others are elected; and shall perform the duties

VOL. VII.

ART. 5. There shall be an annual meeting of the society at such a time and place as the Board of Directors shall appoint; when the accounts of the Treasurer properly audited shall be presented, the proceedings of the Board of Directors reported, officers for the ensuing year elected, and such other business transacted as may properly come before the society. Special meetings of the society may be held at any time and place by appointment of the Board of Directors.

ART. 6. The votes of the Board of Directors of this society, upon applications for patronage or dismission within its limits, shall be final; and a report of the same fully and accurately made out, with the schedules, original or copied, upon which the votes were founded, shall be forwarded quarterly to the Presbyterian Education Society, at New York, and deposited in its archives. And it will be expected that the Secretary at New York, as he shall be able, will extend a pastoral supervision over the Beneficiaries of said society, similar to what he extends over those of the Presbyterian Society.

ART. 7. Branch societies or agencies within the Valley of the Mississippi, approv ing of this constitution, shall hold the same relation to this society which they have heretofore held to the Presbyterian, or the American Education Society.

ART. 8. Alterations in this constitution may be made by a vote of two-thirds of the members present at an annual meeting, provided such alteration shall have been sub

mitted to the society, in writing, at a pre- the American Education Society. We are vious meeting. aware that probably one half of all the The Western Education Society now sus-young ministers in the valley of the West, who have received a liberal education, were trained in the same way. And we can see no prospect of supplying a population increasing at the rate of 1,000 a day-or six or seven congregations a week, without more vigorous efforts in educating the suitable men for the ministry.

tains the same relation to the Presbyterian Education Society, that the latter does to the Parent or the American Education Society. For the ensuing year the Hon. Peter Hitchcock, Burton, Geauga Co. Ohio, is President; the Rev. John Spaulding and the Rev. Ansel R. Clark, Secretaries; and Augustus Moore, Esq., Treasurer. In the evening the public meeting was held, and opened with prayer by Rev. Dr. Beecher. The report was read by the Secretary, Rev. Mr. Spaulding, and the meeting was addressed by the Rev. Ansel R. Clark, of Hudson, Ohio, Rev. Dr. Wisner, of Boston, Rev. Mr. Winslow, of Ceylon, and Rev. Mr. Patton, of New York.

An extract from the report follows:

"With gratitude to God for past success, in the strength of faith, we may anticipate still richer harvests. We cannot suppress the conviction that He who spent most of his ministerial life in preparing eighty-two ministers to preach the gospel after his ascension, attaches a high importance to the work in which we are engaged. We feel that the cause is identified with the prosperity of Zion; and that she will sit in sackcloth when her choicest sons are not consecrated to her service. We look at the other societies which are scattering their blessings around the globe; and when viewed in connection with the cause in which we are enlisted, we feel that while those should not receive less of the patronage, and prayers, and sympathies of the benevolent, this should receive more.

"The American Bible and Tract Societies

also greet us in their high and heavenward course;-each resolving in a single year to expend $30,000 in foreign distribution. Noble resolutions, successfully sustained !

Suppose then the ships freighted with Bibles and Tracts, and the store-houses of China, and Birmah, and the islands of the Pacific be filled;-still without the living teacher, the ordained instrumentality of heaven, these increasing means of usefulA Morrison, a Gutzlaff, a Judson, and a ness would be greatly shorn of their power. Bingham are indispensable in the moral machinery requisite for the conversion of the world.

"Three years ago the agents of the American Sunday School Union, in fulfilment of one of its most thrilling resolutions, schools wherever practicable, in the valley were employed in establishing Sunday of the Mississippi. More than 4,000 new schools was the result of the effort. It was a noble enterprise of Christian benevolence. Untold good was accomplished. But where are more than half of those schools now? They are not in existence. Why? Because it required the same hand that planted to nourish them. All observation and experience teach that not a single institution of benevolence can long exist, where the labors of an enlightened evangelical ministry are not enjoyed. Hence the importance of the work in which we are engaged.

"It is in view of these considerationsand of what has been accomplished, and is now doing towards educating ministers in the West-in view of the fact that all the other societies require an adequate number of men to carry on their benevolent designs, that we now make our appeal both to the

"The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions presents before us a work sublimely great. We look at its sixtyfive missionary stations, scattered along the dark coast of paganism, like so many pillars of light; we behold 56,000 natives instructed in schools, and 2,300 converts col-patriot and the Christian." lected in thirty-nine churches, under the labors and superintendence of ninety-six ordained missionaries: and in this connection we remember that two-thirds of all the ordained missionaries sent from this country to preach the gospel to the heathen, were introduced into the ministry by Education Societies!

No less interesting and grand is the cause of Domestic Missions. In its civil, literary, and moral influence, it is to our country, what the streams are to our meadows and valleys-covering them with greenness, and filling them with gladness. And here again we remember that between 200 and 300 of those who have been employed as Domestic Missionaries, were the sons of

Leading Principles of Action.

"The first is, great care in the selection of beneficiaries. We wish to try no experiments on men of doubtful character or qualifications. And hence it is most earnestly enjoined upon the examining committees to exercise their responsible trust with deliberation and wisdom.

"A second principle is, to aid all of the suitable qualifications. Relying upon God, we solemnly and deliberately renew the pledge to aid every indigent youth of sound sentiments, and of good talents; who has a heart to feel, a tongue to speak, and hands to labor in the cause of Christ.
