In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, July 20th, Rev. John Campbell, Pastor of the Unitarian Church in that city.

Mr. Campbell was a native of Scotland, where he was pastor of a church in a small town near Dundee, and afterwards at Newcastle. He was at first a Calvinist, and, after he had been led by his scriptural studies to renounce the peculiar errours of that scheme, was still a believer in the Trinity. Having occasion to maintain this doctrine in argument with a parishioner, who had begun to doubt it, he was struck with the insufficiency of the evidence for it, and the inquiries, into which he was thus led, ended in satisfying him that it was an errour. He came to this country in 1820. A meeting-house was built for him at Pittsburgh, where he ministered with growing influence and usefulness till his death.

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

With the present number we finish the first volume of the Ex-aminer. We proceed in our work, encouraged by the patronage, which it has received, to believe that it is considered as not without claim to the approbation of the Christian community, nor without use in promoting the great cause of pure religion. This cause we earnestly desire and shall faithfully labour to advance, as our ability permits, and opportunities present themselves. As far as we may, we shall prefer to do this without expressing dissent from our fellow Christians; but we hope never to shrink from contending for the pure faith once delivered to the saints, when it can only be maintained by manly controversy.

The matter of our work has been chiefly furnished during this year by a few individuals, some of the gentlemen who formerly contributed largely to the Christian Disciple having been prevented, by various temporary engagements, from aiding us to the extent they had intended. We hope for their assistance during the coming year, in addition to that of the writers to whom we have been so much indebted during the past. We should also be grateful for contributions from our friends at a distance. Particularly we suggest, that it would be often in their power to communicate interesting articles of intelligence, which now either do not come into our possession at all, or too late to be used as such.

We acknowledge our obligations to our Correspondents and Patrons, and solicit a continuance of their good offices.
