He objects to the action taken upon it. He maintains that all such ques-tions "should be left to the decision of the individual churches." Have As-sociaiiiins no power to recommend? Is it not their province to advise.' Are they not advisory councils? Grant, that such questions should be referred to ihe decision of the churches, ought not those churches to be rightly in-formed, and properly enlightened in the premises? But "the churches be-i&g inde^ndant and supreme should not be in their ADJUDICATIONS

No, but when our churches are a-bout to determine and decide upon "aZZ iuch points"—matters of doctrine and practice, no examinations, no discus-sions, must be tolerated. Brethren in the churches miist not write upon such matters, our papers and Reviewers must remain silent, lest the church be ^'molested," nothingthat will lend to in-form or enlighten the brethren, so as to secure right action must be allowed, lest the church should not decide by instinct, but be biased by any light that

The following dialogue is extracted from a little work in our possession, by a minister of the gospel, which was originally published in French, in the region of the ancient Waldenses. It produced quite a sensation at the time

' iis first publication, not only among Papists, but olher Pedorantisls. A portion of it was translated by Mrs. Caroline.Soulhwood, and published in

Baptist Magazine in England, in i ^ 1S26. So favorable was the recepiion i Father, which is with which this extract met, that the xviii. 10. fair authoress was encouraged to pro-ceed with the translation, and the whole book was translated and pub-lished in London, in the same year.

The portion which we copy in this number, will aflbrd an explanation and illustration of 1 Cor. vii. 14, and other portions of the sacred scriptures; we therefore insert it in our Biblical de-partment. In subsequent numbers of out Misccllany we shall publish farther extracts from the same work. For the copy in our possession we are indebted

the kindness of Rey. Wm- South-wood, late of Virginia, who is now, we believe, in England.

T H E BAPTIST FAMILY. FIKST CONVERSATION.

Augustus.—Papa! have you had us baptized?

Father.—No, my dear child. Why ido you ask ine that question?

A.—Oh, because every body is bap-tized; and then people call me

This servant slipt into the roo^ at longsi as fcircumcision to the people of the beginning of the conver^Uon, and Israel. had remained, under the ' ^ t e n c e nf F,—That is a point we shall have to arranging some of the furniture, and examine; but, for the present, I would wiping the dust from die-rest. She'only ask, if you think the passage in was a faithful child of God, of exem-' question relates at all to the subject of plary piety, but who had not hitherto baptism? Doyou think, in the.timeof been able to restrain her emotions of, the apostles, when a wife became con-impatience, whenever this sobject was discussed:

names; they say I am a heathen. F.—Do you believe in Jesus, my

dear child? Do you think that be is the Son of God, and that he atoned for your sins upon ihe cross?

Augustus was a child nine years of age, and appeared, for sometime past, lo have received the principal truths of the gospel. He answeied there-fore, afiBrmatively to r.is father's ques-tion. Yes, papa, I believe in Jesus.

Well then, said his father. What are the privileges of those who believe in Jesus?

A.—"As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even lo them that believe on his name."

F — C a n you not finish the passage? A.—"Which were born, not oi

blood, nor of the will of ihe flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God."—

ohn i. 12, 13. F.—^You think then to be saved, and

that you are a child of God? A.—Through the grace of God, I do,

dear papa. F.—And those who insult you, my

child, and who talk of having been baptized; do you think if they are ha-bitually doing so, ihSl they can be children of God, and Christians?

A.—They are not the children of God; but I have been told that one may be a Christian without being a child of God.

F.—My dear child, we ought not to judge but by the sacred scriptures; there I see thai the word Christian is applied only to disciples ofChrist; men who had believed In him by the preach-ing of the apostles.

Here he opened the Bible at Acts xi. 26, and then at 1 Pet. iv. 16, remark-ing at the same lime, that Peter spoki; of Christians as those thai purtook of the sufltjrings of Christ, ami on whom

"ILS SONT SAINTS.I' (they are holy,) said she once more, with an accent which I can only describe by writing in great letters as you see it here.

Mary, said her master, you are a child of God. Will you do a good ac-tion? will you save a soul?

What made you think of that, said she; would to God I could! Bui what doyou mean?

J?*.—Ytiu know Henry, our neigh-bor's servant.

Mary.—Poor man? He despises the gospel, he blasphemes our Sa-viour?

F.—Never mind ihat You know that, notwithslanding yoiir all^chmenl to the gospel, he is perpetually asking you to marry him.

Mary.—The Lord preserve me from it!

F.—But would you not save a soul, I say, once more?

Mary.—Well, yes: What would you have me to do?

F-—Marry him. Mary.—(As if trying to discover her

master's design.) Ah! "That if any obey not the word, they also may wiih-out ihe word, be won by the conversa-tion of the wives." 1 Pet. iii. 1.

F.—No, no, not at all; the passage suits the case of those already married; but 1 would never advise a Christian to marry an enemy to God ,with these hopes; probably she would be led as-tray herself.

Marij.—But what am I to understand then?

F.—What were you telling me of these children? tf ; Mary.—"Qu'Hs sont saint" (lhat they are holy.)

Why? Mary.—Because they are born of

Christian parents. F.—Where have you read this? Mary.—I do not exactly recollect;

but I know thai it is in the Bible. jr.—Well": Augustus, look out the

passage and read it. Augustus found 1 Cor." vii. 14, and

read, "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife; and the unbe-lieving wife is sanctified by the hus-band; else were yonr children unclean, but now are they holy."

Mary wished lhat what preceded and followed these words should be read

far as verse 16:—asked leave to as

verted and was baptized, received at tbe Lord's table and considered a child of God, her husband remaining an enemy to the gospel, that he also shoulti be baptized, received at the Lord's ta-ble, considered a child of God, or a saint in Christ Jesus?

Mary.—Evidently not—how very clear! what proof! I am convinced I was in error.

John.—It is very certain that if I could convert the wife of one of these vile Turks who are so wicked, the Turk would not, therefore, be .i child of God, and ought not lo be baptized, at least till he was converted too.

A.—And yel the Bible says, lhat he would be sanctified by his wife.

F.—"I thank thee," O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and pru-dent, and hast revealed them unto babes." Matt. xi. 25, 26.

You see, then, added the father, lhat the unbelieving husband (who has not, according to other declarations in scripture, either part, or lot, or com-munion, or agreement, or aflSnity with those that jfclieve,) is sanctified by the believing wife, and the unbelieving wife sanctified by the believing hus-band.

Mary.—Evidently this word has not on all occasions the same meaning: but what does it here signify?

f . — F o r the present, then, putting aside lhat in which we are agreed, and which is evident, before we speak up-on the signification of the words, lei us rather say what ihey do not signify.

Mary.—They certainly do not imply a sanciification such as would give a right, either to baptis m, or to the Lord's Supper, or even to the name of a child of God.

F'.—I will then tell you my thoughts upon the subject, and the more readily, because, supposing it may not satisfy you, the difficulty will still remain as great on your part as on mine, at the same time proving that the passage contains no authority whatever for the baptism of infants.

Mary.—It is agreed. F.—I beg you to observe, lhat in

the chapter from which the passage is taken, which now occupies oar aiien-lion, the subject is by no means the union of infants with the people of God. The new faith which the Corin-thians had recently embraced, brought with it new duties, and destroyed old ones. There existed then, as there does indeed now, on the promulgation of the gospel, a conflict of duties; but these were to them the more diflScult, as the whole was then entirely new to them. "There is to be no communion between believers and unbelievers,"

lified by the husband {ver. 14.) There-fore I would ask (I say not every one, for some are unjijst jodges,)boi I would ask enlightened and unprejwHced judges: Does the subject here discus-sed refer, in any measure, to the union ofeitherof the married couple, as sacbv with the kingdom of Gcd? or is il not rather a question solely relative, wheth-er considered in itself, o» tbe context, to the uniotT of tbe husband with the wife? Is the question one between h u sbands and wives? In other wordsy is not this evidently ibe question.'—Is ihe ttswrt sanctified or unsanctified?

I rea«Kly gram that it M h tk a question in Imo, on ih&leg^maaj of mar-riage, as is often said, for waoi of spir-ituality of mindr but rather a moral question on that subject..

Mary.—I understand you again, Sip, and I am ashamed of the impatience and ignorance which I have hitherto shown, in things i did not understand. I shall be very glad to hear you again on other parts of this question; but i acknowledge thsil yoa have already re-moved tbe strongest props lomy former opinion.

F.—^Having come to tbi« conchisioo, the application is very easy. The a-posile, speaking on two'subjecis thus intimately connected, as is l ^ recipro-cal relationship of parents andchildren he could (not make use ©f the same word in the sams seateoee, in two- drP-ferent senses; and as the word is here applied to the moral purity of the union ol tfie married couple, it must also ap-ply tO' tbe mofai purity of the birih o£ their children. "If your unioo was unsaocvified, your chiWren would be unsanctified; but now are they sanc-tified:" they are born of an union which the holiness of God does ODI re-prove.

I have already told you the rest: though some may dispute this explan-ation, and advance another, yet I ihink a more satisfacloey one cannol be giv-en, or one naore just and nalurdl;. ibaf which remains for us now iSylosuTi up the whole (at least according lo the bove stalemeru). in. these words: "Chil-dren born of believing parents are not more, nor otherwise sanctified, end have no more right lo baptism, than a heatlten who is pLiced in connection-with the cbordi ot God, as outwardly favorabJe^'^ l;hai is to say, then, they have no r%ht at all to it.

ThU does not inply, that CJbristinn children have not naaey advantages a-bove those o£ ibe heathen. 1 am well convinced they have, and that they are imiDense;.but I say that these advanta-ges consist inthe favorable circumstan-ces in which they are [iliaced", aflil> that they are by no means inward and d i ' rectly applied to the soul. Thny hear

Lebanon, J a n . 24, 1S49. I f we thought that a brother in T e n .

nessee, deemed our course in these dis-cussions reprehensible, we would vin-dicate it. W h a t other al ternative has there been left us than to vindicate our character f rom their assertions, or lo suffer in public opinion and sink un-der a weight of calumny. ' Shall we suffer ourselves, ou r brethren in the ministry or our denomination to bea t -U c k t d , and misrepresented, and not repel the assaults. ' H a v e we not suf-fered in silence lotiffl and long enough? And that too, when w e have the f a t t i in our possession to wipe a w a y every reproach.' W h a t brother will oppose a bold vigorow defence, as those only can who are conscious of the right? W e m a y have writ ten rmder exeitment, wo a r e f ree to confess it, ba t we base onr plea opon the uncommon nature of the circutnstances. Our moral and christian character has been impeach-ed—al l that is dear , has been involved in the issue of the discussion. W h o that h a s a Itting toul, aiid mortal nervet would not become intentehj interested and excited? H e deserves not a spot-less name , who could be so little con-cerned for i u W e freely forgive these brethren. W e pray Gofl to forgive t hem, and^ tp show them the error of their w a y . T h e y ^ r e not, ihey canTiot hurt a hair of our bead.

I f any of our re«ders think tha t we have now or heretofore, an imadver ted too teverely upon the editorial course, a n d obliquities of X B . McFerr in , ed -itor of the Methodist Advoca te , w e invite t h w attention to extracts from a let ter in that paper, f rom one of Mr .

"Secondly , with regard to the ma t -ter. A young conver t la very apt , I should tnink, to beoonoe a subior iber to a religioui paper . T h e reason, I l uppo io (R, that they ore earnest ly en* quir ing their w a y to Zion, and wha t tney m n i t do to be eavedi and they nn* torally expect t o find al l the neoeiaary information in a pape r devoted to tha t subject.

[ T h e Methodist Advocate?] Correc t me',if I a m wrong, when I say, they a re t augh t tha t the w a y to Zion , a n d the w a y to be saved , ts to abute all denominat ions excep t their own!!!"

T h e wr i te r r emarks that the Metho-d i s t Church has set apar t and conse-cra ted men, to search a f te r truth and establish the doctr ines of the Methodist Church , and conver t P resby te r i ans and Bapt is ts , thereby, and he tells Mr. McFer r in :

You a re one of those se rvants .— H o w m a n y y e a r s have you been thus set apa r t ; consecra ted to ihis service? W h a t progress have you m a d e in es-tablishing a n y one of the fundamen ta l doctr ines of t he church?"

T h a t i s the severest cu t of all! W e have long thought that he m a d e but slow "progress, in establishing "any oru?* of the doctr ines of his Church . Poor man, his, is a hard iath. H o w can he? they a re not of God. H o w can he establish tha t which the Bible overthrows? B u t had he asked him what progress he has m a d e in misre-present ing and abusing bis brethren of the press, he could have taken the head of his class, his bro. B r o w n l o w opposed to him, notwithstanding. Bu t the last sent iment w e respond to.

"1 feel confident tha t you. have nev-er v iewed ihe responsibilities of an ed-itor in the light that I do . "

W e are now done , perhaps forever, with this editor. H a v i n g learned that his brethren regard him in the s ame light that w e do, wo shall in fu ture consider a n y abuse or misrepresenta-tion, (of his own,) he m a y publish to the prejudice of ourself or denominat ion, as infinitely too insignificant to de-serve ei ther exposure or rebuke from us.

ited by R e v . ' J . B . C . F . F r e y , in 2 vols. L . Co lby , N. Y., 1849.

T h i s is a pedobaptist vjork, by a pe-dobaptist Doctor, edited by a Bapt is t minister , and published by a baptist Bookseller, puffed by baptist D . D ' s . and n o w offered to a baptist public! A singular phenomenon in this century , truly! I f any one should ask us, why did not pedobapt is ts publish this work? W e would say , in all probabili ty, be-cause they did not think it w o r t h the trouble. T h i s is themost plausible rea-son w e can give, a f te r a careful exam-ination.

I t is a mass of questions wi thout an-s w e r s — a huge mass of bones without flesh and sinetos. T h e rude skeleton of Theology, without a soul, nerve, or a blood vessel. I i is r ecommended to induce originality, in Theological S tu-dents .

But this work is only calculated lo des t roy tha t object . A n original a r -chitect , des igns h is own plans, lays out his own work.

T h e author requires his S l u d e n u lo / I I up his outline, and re fers t h e m to some hundreds of old out of da t e mus-ty P e d o baptist anthori l ies ' works , not one in ten of which has Mr. Colby in his Book-store, o i ; any other one house in N. Y . or Boston.

B a o , GRAVES!

T h e grpai question of the inviqji ty of conscience, seems not a s y e t | t ied, even in this free and enlighti land. Though acknowledged to I cardinal doctrine of human liberty, | " the corner stone ofourrepuhl icon ifice." The re are , not a few of I Pedo-baptist friends who scruple oJ exercise parental or delegated aulT ity in matters pertaining alone to science.

Fac t s have recently occurred, I are continually presenting themsel in confirmation of the above s ta temi which strongly argue a greater fr ingement of inalienable n g h u power possessed sufficient to e n f J Jt. I would not BBsert that the delif a te intention of Pedo-bapiisis is i pfce conscience, regardless of e s l lished axioms of truth; but thetentf cy of assuming (for it is assumed) I exercising such a right, is,and e v e r ! been to limit or neutralize the bif and emphatic declaration of tbe viour. " I f the son make you free I are you free indeed. Nay mor pervert and mystify the plainest I i n » of the Gospel of Christ .

Bu t to illustrate the mat ter fu l ly—a youth of pedo-baptist ents or guardian professes faith in . us Christ , and desires to obey his m a n d s " in all t h i n « , " and eimrel a wish to unite with a Bapiiflt C h u l but this can alone be done by irao sion in water. Here at this point I pears the spirit of opposition on f part of such parents or g u a r d i a m j though admitt ing the validity of i bapt ism, and al/io the correr tncs Baptist views of tbe principal do of the Bible, as he d by Evans Chr i f t i an t , yet to such a degree is J spirit ca r r i ed , tha ta l i means save d i right physical force are resorted to f vrn t such an event, and this too is r e d ciiliiiiinn with llie expressed i viclioni and earnest desire of the yu convert .

T h e argument for such a cour the right, which grows out of the lion of parents or guardian and toenforce obedience. Such an inent should be deemed only wc of a barbcrous ago, and above i opposed in spirit and Icder to t h e j pel, the great charier of human I dom.

T h e truth that the Holy Script constitute tbe only rule of conscto is the fundamenta l doctrine o fCE tianity, and to deny this is a refle upon the revelation of God ' s wi l man in which i t is expressly decla that it is profitable fur doctrioe rcpr for correction, for instruction in teousness, and is able to moke u i { feet and thoroughly furnished for< good work.

Now an individual of age and dis lion, sufficient to comprehend the | doctrines o f , repentance and fai t made known in the New Tes tae able also, from that divine director c o m p r e h e n d ^ ! the positive comc of Christ.

Hence the opinion of men is no^ rule of conscience any more than I example , becauFe they may mil us either from desien or from own previous error. vVe are con ed to call no man master, and to j this honor lo Chrisi alone, a n d ; said in reference to the dogma i commands of men. T o the l a w , the testimony: "If they speak cording to this word ii is because 1 is no light in ibeiA."

W e admit it however lo be eqn true, that wc are suliject lo the i ity of others as parents , masters magistrates whose commands ought to obey, and their comr m a y be called rules of con by their difierent classes of r ^ l i v e | lies are pointed out and enjoined, tliey are only subordinate rules, fact are no rules at all, if by t ha t ] understand a rule possessing i n l ' authnrity.

Whatever pmcer onr superiors d have to enforce obedience, an u n b a conscience does not recognize theil] thority, unless it perceive an agrees between their cominamls and ihe I of God. T h e commands of o u r | periors stand in the same relatii consdeoce , in which the sente inferior magistrates. Bland to the j ec i s of a G o v e m msnt , the laUer l no authori ty in themselves a ^ J have is d e r i v e d . f r o m the ^ w land, to which if ibey a re not i ble, may be t r e a t r a w i i k coo a n d the magistrate would be tHioU ahould j je propeed to raforce IfaeinJ

PEDO-BAPTIST8 , AND R I G H T OF PRIVATE JUDGMENT.

BBO. G s a t i s : The great queation of the inviolabili-

ty of conacience, seems not as yet set-tled, even in this iree and enlightened land. Though acknowledged to be a cardinal doctrine of human uberly, and "the comer alone of oar republican ed-ifice." There are, not a few of our Fedo-baptiat frienda who scruple not to exercise parental or delegated author-ity in matters pertaining alone to con-acience.

Facta have recently occuned, and are continually preaenting themselves in confirmation of the above statement; which strongly aigue a greater, in-fringement of inalienable ngfata were power possessed sufficient to enforce it . I would not assert that the deliber-ate intention of Pedo-bapUats ia to co-erce conscience, regardless of estab-lished axioms of truth; but the tenden-cy of assuming (for it ia assumed) and exercising such a right, is,and ever has been to limit or neutraliro the broad and emphatic declaration of the Sa-viour. "If the son inake you free then are you free indeed. Nay more—to pervert and mystify the plainest teach-ings of the Gospel of ChrisU

But to illustrate the matter more fully—a youth of pedo-bapdst par-ents or guardian professes faith in Jes-us Christ, and desires to obey hia com-manda "in all things," and expresses a wish to unite with a Baptist Church; but this can alone be done by immer-sion io water. Here at this point ap-pears the spirit of oppoaiuon on the part of such parents or guardian: al-though admitting the validity of such baptism, and also the correctness of Baptist views of the principal doctrines of the Bible, as he d by Evan^Ucal Christiana, yet to such'a degree is this spirit carried, that all means save down right physical force are r ^ r t e d to pre-vent such an event, and this too in di-

_ rect collision with the expressed con-victiona and eameat desire of the young convert.

The argument for auch a course is the right, which growa oat of the rela-tion of parenta or guardian and child,, toenforce obedience. Such an arga-ment should be deemed only wohhy of a barberous age, and atmve all, ia oppoaed in spirit and letter to the gos-pel, the great charter of human free-dom. ;

The truth that the Holy Scriptures consdtute the only rule of consc ien^ lathe fundamental doctrine of Chris-tianity, and to deny this is a reflection upon the revelation of God's will to man in which itis expressly declared that it is profitable for doctrme reproof; for correction, for instruction in righ-teousness, and is able to make us per-fect and thoroughly furnished (or every good work. _

Now an individaal of age and discre-tion, sufficient to comprehend the plain doctrines of repentance and f» tb as made known - in the New Testament is able also, from that divine directory to coo^rebend all the positive commands of Christ.

Hence the opinion of men ia not the i;ule of conscience any more than their example, because they may mislead us either from d e s i ^ or from their own previoua error. We are command-ed to call no man master, and to give thia honor to Christ alone, and it is •aid in reference to the dogmaa and commands of men. To the law and the testimony: "If . thejr apeak not ac-cording to this word it is mKausa there is no light in them."

We admit it however to be equally true, that wo are aubject to the anthor-ity of others as pacenu, masters and magistrates whose commanda we ought to obey, and their commands may be called rules of conscleoce; aa by their different classes of relative du-; ties are pointed out and enjoined. Yet tliey are only subordinate rules, and in fact are no rules at all, if by that we understand a rule possessing intrinaic authority.

Whatever jwtcer oar superiors may have to enforce obedience, an unbmsed conscience doea not recognize their aw-thority, onlciia It perceive an agreement between their commands and the law of God. The commands of our su-perfors stand tn the samo relation consctence, in which the sentences inferior maffstrates, siabd Io the Si jects of a Oo'vemment. the tatter ta noantboriiy in ihemselvea at^.aff have is dexiv^ tfroai the taw io land, to which if they are ixiVrefinntt^ ble, may be treatra witL con t r a i l , and ihe raagiatrate wwH'Beijbttor

. s h o u l d ^ to ientorce

The truth is simply, that the power nf our auperiora over us is founded in the law of God made known by revel-ation, and their commanda are bind-ing otily when that taw gives them its sanction. Their moral obligation and that of our own engagements arc alike resolvable into the will of God. Now I am aware that Pedobaptists admit this to be a correct view of the rule, which: should regulate'matters pertain-ing td conscience, and I introduce these remarks not as anything new or original of course, but only to 'show in the fir8t place the gtaring inconsbtea-(grpfiBen, professing Christianity, and secondly the dangerous tendency of the pr^cu'ce above described, aa per-taimngto a vitally important doctrine of our Holy Religion.

If SIKh an unwarrantable course is permitted unresisted, the inevitable r ^ suit is manifest, viz: to subvert all lib-erty, ci'/il and religious. Is it not then the im]»rious duty of eveiy adherent of the "ttuth as it is in Jesus," to op-pose by', all lawful means such en-croachn^nt upon the inalienable righta of conscience, and for the ministiy of a like faith to urge and enforce more strenuously at this crisis, the ctaims of God's word as the sovereign touch-stone to which all faith must be ap-pUed? ^

I have no f ^ r s that such a practtee can have again the ascendency in this tand, but it evidently retards the pro-gress of truth and deceives many souls, inquiring for the truth, once delivered to the saints. But more hereafter.

NO MORE ON T H E SUBJECT. BRO . G R A V E S :

I thought my last article would satisfy bro. Ford, and so end the mat-ter forever. But hia spleen is more excited than before, and he uses another whole column of the Baptist in reply to my explanations! 'Tis all the vain-est "twattle." I. shall make no reply. To keep up a controversy of this kind would do no good, for I am sure it has no intrinaic worth, and is, doubtless, uninteresting to the readers of your paper.

What there was in my articles on the Baptist cause in Middle Tennessee, to excite the ire of Ford, I never could see. His attack come most unexpect-edly arid without the shadow of cause, unless he feels himself keeper of the Baptists of Middle Tennessee, or in-tends to write their history himself—if so, I am sorry that I intruded upon him, I beg pardon, and leave the subject in his hands. He feels himself adequate to the task. I shall say no more.

The truth seemed not only to pierce the ainner'a heart, but alao to guide the young converts into the way ordained by Christ, and taught by his apostles. First they heard, and secondly they believed that-God existed, and that he was a rewarder of them that deligent-ly sought him. 3rd. They sought him and believed that they found him in the pardon of sin. 4. They were "buried with Christ in Baptistn." This is all right, and I feel certain the Baptist cause will flourish here and elsewhere for it ia the cause of truth. Just let ev ery member be faithful and drink deei in the spirit of missions, and God wil bless us.

One word to your correspondents, I wish theywould quit guessing at the text "Be born of water and of the Spirit." One says it means spirit, one says toord, and another says JUih. I wish they would let it mean toaie^, and if this be right, then the Baptists are, for we say no man can be in the Church un-less he is baptised.

R E V . J . C . B R A D L E Y . BRO . GEJCVES:

In the Banner pf Peace, published in Lebanon, Tenn., are copious Euays over the signature of him whose name heads this communication. In which you, Mr. Editor, with various ministers and others of the Baptist church, are made to figure most prominently.—-With this gentleman I have but little or no personal acquaintance; be how-ever, on one occasion, visited the town in which I live and preached in our church, and with him I was much pre-possessed, esteeming him as a man of great piety and christian charity; and since perusing his articles, and perceiv-ing the spirit in which they are writ-ten, I have been much perplexed, and have often enquired to ascertained whether he can benhe same preacher I had the.pleasure to bear.

Is it not a great pity, Mr. Editor, that a good manand pious minister of Jesus Christ, should so far forget himself and his high and holy calling, as to be in-duced to write against and indulge in such bitter and acrimonious things to-wards christians of another name.— Can it be possible that the Rev. Mr. Bradley thinks that he, by pursuing this course, will promote the Redeemer's Kingdom? Does he think that Baptist principles are mere hetrodoxes, and that it ia right to employ any kind of means to extinguish those principles? Or does he think as some politicians do "my couTtiry right or wrong, 1 strike?" I know not what the result will be, but k does seem to me that if the Bible is true, wo unto all of us who thus speak and thus act.

Ever since Adam was induced to take the first fatal step in the garden of Eden, man baa been as prone to im-prudences, as the sparks are that as- -send upwards: this doubtless accounts; for^he course pursued by our bro.Brad-ley, towards you and other members if the Baptist church. And may we

not hope that he, before it shall be toe late, will see the error of his way, re-pent of hia deeds; and as God ii good and gracious, find abundant for-giveness.

And the Banner of Peace, too, ma^ / it not appear a little strange that .a journal professing such docility, sucl i gentleness; "neutral in •politics," and al -most everything else, should be founc I publishing' to the world such lengthy articles—fraught with such acrimoni-ous sayings by one brother agaiqst others, to the great discomfiture of re-ligion and against the peace and dig -

GEORGE W H I T E H E L D AND JOHN WESLEY,

Few characters could be more com-pletely the converse,and in the church's exigencies more happily the supple-meot of one another, than were those of Geo. Whitefield and John Wesley; and had their views been identicbl, and their labors all along coincident, their large services in the gospel might have repeated Paul and Barnabas. White-field was soul, and Wesley was nys-tein. Whitefield was a summer cloud which burst at morning or tK>on in fragrant exhalation over an ample tract, and took the rest of the diiy to gather again. Wesley was the polish-ed conduit in the midst of the garden through which the water glided in FMrarly brightness and perennial mu-sic, the same vivid stream from day to da.y.

After a preaching paroxysm. White-field lay jwnting on his couch, spent, bpsathless, and death-like; after his morning sermon in the F o u n d ^ , Wes-ley would mount his pony, and trot and ch at and gather simples, till he reach-ed some country hamlet, where he w( )uld bait hia charger, and talk through thi i little sermon with the villagers, and reiaiount his pony and trot away again. In his ffirial poise, Whltefield'a eagle ey e drank lustre from the source of life, and loved to look down on men in as-sembled myriads; Wesley's fallen glance did not sweep so far, but it searched more keenly and marked jnore minutely where^it pierced. A Toaster of assemblies, Whitefield was not matched for the isolated man; sel-dom coping with the multitude, but strong in astute sagacity and personal ascendancy, Wesley could conquer any number, one by one. Whitefield was the powder blast in the quarry, and by one explosive sermon, would shake a district, and detach materials forother men's long work; deft, neat, pains taking, Wesley loved to split and trim each fragment into uniform plinlhs and polished stones. Or taken other-wise, Whitefield was the bargeman or wagoner, who brought the limber of the house, and Wesley was the archi-tect who set it up. Whitefield had no patience for ecclesiastical polity, no aptitude for pastoral details; with a bea-ver-llke propensity for building, Wes-ley was always constructing societies, and with a king-like craft of ruling, was most at home when presiding over a class or conference. It was their in-felicity that they did not always work together; it was the happiness of the age, and the furtherance of the gospel that they liveth alongside of one an-other.—North British Review^

I'bk aeleetiankaabeefl in prepsrttion near-ly fire years,—doring wbicl»tiBe k has been anl^ctM to repeated examinatioo tod careful revisiof). The object in ita prepararion haa been to fgrnuh • selection of choice Hymna, for the Vestry and the Fanily Circle, of mo-derate aize and at triOiog eiipenae, exactly atiited to the varioaa afagea SM conditions uf the conference, and other devotiooaf meetfnp nsnally held in tbe Conference Room, at welt as in Family Worship. Hymsa, <br instance, on top^ embraeiag prayer, i»aiser warning, invitation, entreaty, regeneratioik, repentaiue, faith, timea of declension, times of rarival, re-ceiving end dismissing members; the Churelr in prosperitv. aiid io adversity; Miasioos/y, Sabbath Scnool, and maternal meetiags; meet-ing and parting, sickness and health, opening and doahig year; brevity of time; death, judg-ment, heaves, dcc. It has been tbe aim to supply hymna not only of elevated poe^ and musiral merit, but of true devotional spirit. A selection of sonoe of the chmcest by urns io the Psalmist, adapted to the design of tbis book, will here b e f o ^ . tocether with several new l^mns, as well as those long familiar in the canference meetiag, and hallowed by early as-aociabons ofhome, and social prayer. Their &miliarty. insteat) of bain^ an objectiaa to them is their teghest praise. T l ^ they have ex-pressed the devoot aspiratiXs of thoso who have passed on to the worship of the heaven-ly temple, eiveathem a charm which eompo-aitions wMly new could not claim. In tha minds of difierentCbristiaas, we believe that most of the hymns ia this book will sumaon up some sweet and holy recollections.

Tbe work, contains 350 Hymns, hesides Doxobgiesin varions meters, not numbered in the list ontyaaas. They are the prodactions ofl34 iMSerent authors; 11& ate by Watts, 18 by Steele, by Doiliidge, 14 by New-ton, 9 by Wesley, 5 each by Ciwper, Faw-cea, Kefly, and Smith, 4 each by Heber Bed-dome. Stenoett and Toplady, and others by Swaia. Montgomery, Hart, Dwigbt, Bar-bauld, Hyde, Reed, Heginbotbam, Grant. Cenntek, CHivar, Edmeston, Kenn, De Fleury, Scott, Dobell, Raffles, Pitt. Noel, Medle' Cottoa. Rylaad. WiBjaos, Boden. Coarcl Logan. Conder, Collyer, Milman, Kirkman, White, Collins, Robinson, Duncan, Stowell, Cobhin, Kingi^arv, Thomby, Allen, Grigg, &c- There is a large variety of every des-cripaon of meter, embracibg 63 Long, 119 Common, 54 Short, and 91 of various peculiar meters-

It was first eocteropfated having Music in the voVome, but on consultation aod reflection it waa deemed aaadviaable, as it sast neces-sarily add to-thasixeand expense.of the book, and music not familiar enough to sing in social worship mlhout notes is of little arail. and is seldom^ used by those even unacquainted with music, and most of those who asae% in tbe cooierence steering are eatirely unac-qnainted with tfie rudiments of nmsic, and consequently are in no way benefitted by this addition; and not unfreqnently the spirit -of devotioa is retarded, by the use of tunes not familiar to those who tisually join, in this is-vorite soul-sOrrmg service.

Tbe work contains three rriuabte Indexes; an Index of Rrst Lines, a General Index, and a very fuU Particular Index of Subjecu.

Tbe type, and size of the page, are the same as the ISmo., or pew size of the Psalm-ist. Itiapiintaitongood paper, and strongly bound inabeeptaDd is anoidedat tbe very low price of tieenty-Jivt cents per copy, and 2,50 per dtaen.

C.—Oh! you are a strange lellow, 10 talk in that way. I have matched coppers, thrown beads and tails, be-fore I ever saw James Huater. What do you think of that. Har^-f

fl.—"I think you must have been misled, Charles, by some bad boy or other; for, certainly, none but bad boys match coppers, or throw heads anc tails; as it is called.

C.--What do you call matching coppen, Harry? And how come you to know anything at all about it."

fll—Why, Charles, nlihcugh I have never matched coppers, or iosse<l heads and tails, iu my life,i. have seen boys do so many t imes , - -and have watched how tiiey did both; besiiles my father has showed nje all about these games.^ So I will Kill you all I understand l5y matchingaippers. Sup-pose, Charles, you hav^a copper, and James Hunter has one. You say to James, 1 dare you 10 match for'keep,' and James says, Agreed. James asks you to hide; you lay your copper un-der your hand, hiding ii f n m the eye of James; then James lakes his copper and lays it down? and if he lays ihe same side up that yours is, he matches ypu.and is eniiiled to your copper.— But, should he lay the wrong side up, he has lost, and you t_ake the money. This is called maiding coppers,— Charles.

C.—You dei«cribe matching coppers very well; now tell me how they throw heads and rails. i

C.—Well; suppose James Hunler says, "Charles, let us thniw heads tind tails." You fay, "Agrfed." Then you throw up thecoppcr, and if James guesses head, and it c o m ^ down t.iil, you win; but if it falls ifead -up, he wins. It is the same thii?g, Charles, when boys put a number of pennies in a cap, and husile ihem up, anrl ihen throw them out, and the boy that throws the most heads out of a sp<:cified num-ber, wins.

C.—Why, that is calle<3 raffling,— not throwing heads and tail.-:. I sup pose, Harry, you never heard it called raffling before?

H.—-Ob, yes, Charles; and now ihat reminds me that the reformed gambh-r said, that pitching .coppers leads those who practice it to the rum-shup, where they sometimes see a fine goose ortur-

ut up to be raffled' for. The ancUord sells the fowl, perhaps, for a

half a dollar. Then eight per.wns take a chance each, by pultmg up six jence a piece,—^very one thinking he las a chance ibr winning a fine roast for his money. But, as only one of the eight persons can win, the rest all oie; then the winner has to treat all lands, or bC: laughed or hooted at; and

they ge l , excited. And another fowl is put up and raffled for, and the win-ner continues to Jreal.and they keep it op tin all their sixpences are gone. Then ihey pawn their knives or hand-kerchiei^: or anything they have about them. Most of them get drunk, and m home cross and cruel to their fami-lies. But suppose each man wou a fowl, how do yoo think his wife or bis childreD would feel eating it, when they knew it had been set up by a rum-selterraad that the father came home intoxicatefd. haviiig spent kll bis mon-ey before he won iu -

C.—Why, Harry, you: make quite an orator; but there are sijme things you had better be a little inore guard-ed kbcwt, i f you wi^h to save the feel-ings ofyoaej'riends.

H.—Pray, Charles, what have said or done that has caured you make that remark?

Ct—Why^ it was that insinuation ^octtJaraes Honte^Emd me.

and we will converse about them when we see each other again.

Harry saw how hard it was to con-vince Charles, when he did not wish to be convinced; yet he thought him only a little stubborn, because be did notilke to yield his argument so easi-ly. -Cbarhss, however, ^ s 'not quite so good a re^'ner as Harry, and did tibr see so deeply into things. But,— to do him justice, he did not like to bave James Hunter spoken against; fw Janfles, too, was clever to him in many things,'^'and he did not like to

it his company until he became sat-isfied that he was really a bad boy. Harry did not wish to prejudice Charles against James, but he wished that Charles might not be led away by him, and therefore he prayed to bis Heavenly Father, that Charles might see all these things in the right way,— and be saved from sin and ruin.

whether your life also has not been a a failure? Whether you are living merely for the worldi"—laying up the treasures of which you cannot avail yourself in your time of greatest need? Will you go to the judgment with the awful truth sounding in your ears, that your life has been a failure? If you would not, mend that life—mend it to-day. to-niorrbw is not yours.

PROVERBS OF JOHN. C B A » E a n .

He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

He wants no company who hath Christ for his companion.

Trust God and be doing, and let him alone with the rest. , „ , , ,

T 11 I II • • . idwpllers In the land, aud even to tbue 1 have no In all worldly joys there IS a SCCret }doub.m.ny willb. now made known foTthe 6 m time,

wound. They only are wise who are wise to

salvation. Time is short—and if your cross is

heavy you have not far to carry it. All the afflictions that a saint is ex-

ercised with, are neither too numer- j ous, nor too sharp; a great deal of rust ' requires a rough file. !

Live not so much upon the comforts of God, as upon the God of comforts.

The cross of Christ (or suffering for his sake) is a crabbed tree to look al— but sweet and fair is the fruit it yields.

God who hath enabled sinners to thirst after grace, will surely give them the grace they thirst afier.

Grace is the silver link, that draws the golden link of glory after it.

I know no -sweeter way to heaven than through free grace and hard trials together; and where grace is, hard trials are seldom wanting.

Grace is glory militant, and glory is grace triumphant; grace is glory be-gun, glory is grace made pei feet; grace is the first degree of glory, glory is the highest degree of grace.

1 shall not confine MYWLF to time past a'one, but also •et down things that touch upon time present, and »-ven in our own day and esperiences, coming into our very streets.

"The Indian warrior and the Indian maid; The sturdy woodsman and the hunter brave;

The w i l y scuut SOIL stealing through the glade; The daring boatman launched upon tbe wave;

Tbe saber townsman, and tbe trader keen; The t.psy tspster and the lawyer cute;

The modern belle, (the talking one 1 mean,) Sportsmen, geese, and negro men to boot;

These all will FIJUN- in my LT>cends true. Each in his turn as mem'RY gives tbe cue."

I 1 might begin ray reminiscences liy relating an in-j cident that <iccurrcd when but one white man had

stood on the perpendicular rocks on which our city is { built, and HIS r i f l e awoke the first echoes of the for. : ests t h a t then dnrkened the swift waters of the Se I WNTIEE with their densely luxuriant foliage. And I why should 1 not begin with this lime, or even ear-j lierl at a period belbre a Saxon's blue eye had ever

glanced along the iolty cliS'-side or his solitary voice had been heard AWAKING their echoes, hitherto star-

L tied into response only HY the shrill war-hoop of the Indian warrior as at tha head of HI« war fleet lie darted like an eagle leading a flight of eagles down the arfowy tide in search o( hi, foes? Tbe incident that 1 allude to may BE given in tbe following words:

In the spring of the year 175—A young Indian girl was standing on the brow of a cliff thai overhangs the Sewanee. the ancient name of our beautiful AI^ rebeliiuos river, and gazing tbougbtfully down, -far down, into iu gliding bosom. She was very beauti-ful, with glorious eyes like twi.iy.stars glowing in the midnight skies, and tresses darker thnn the midnight iuelf. Long and shining they flowed about her neck and over her half<lud form like wings woven of a thousand sable feathero; and as the wind FOM the river tossed them half to the right and half to the left, the while entwining Uie glossy strands about her lovely arms, she seemed like some sweet h <uri of the wood or rather nymph of the wave about to fly down again into her native element. Talk not of the Grecian slaves in tbe actual presence of this free child of the forest! Never did Grvek or American chisel copy in marble or imagine In soul, the perfec* tton of l i v i n g beauty embodied and spiritualized in thi. Indian girl! The faultless rjintour of tbe olive brnwn hand as she held her deer skin robe together

I OVC her scarcely concealed bo:<om: the enchanting curvjs of her arms and •hcwlders, the exquisite sym-metry of her small, child-like feet unsandalled in a l l their naked loveliness; the undulating line of her pliant figure; the superb head and gentle yet proud carriage of her neck, were the inimitable develop-menu of nature's chisselling that mocked the crea-tive%rt of human genius to make manifest to the

1 eve. even though marble were as pliant as the pliant I tl'esh

The expression of her face was that of mingled sadness and courage. If her eye glanced downward it softened like the dove's, and •« tear seemed spark-ling upon the extreme fringe of the long. very long black lashes. But when she raised her head to look in the direction of a dark cedar<rowned hill* that rose behind her, three bow shots distant, a sudden fire burned tbe tear and a brilliant and almost dazzling rav shot forth fmm them. It was lio longer sadness an'd sorrow, but pride and resentment. Her bosom beeves wildly as if she had.been flying from pnisuit, and her attitude is that of one listening, yet WTH tnore of determination than fear.

She places ber small and brown, yet rose-tinted fin-ger upon her beautiful lips and sends her keen glan ess over the gloomy hill top.

Suddenly A loud,sbrill, angry cry reaches her ears! She stands tike a statue. Her eyes lemain fixed up-

gained the open space, and reached the cliff. But here she saw her way stopped effectually by its pre-cipitous sides. On either side the clifi* extended, and to 6y either way would bring her into Ihe semi-circle by which she knew her pursuers were ezKlos-ing ber.

And so she stood as we beheld her; now measuring the depth below, now casting a glance in the direc-tion of the hill from the summit of which she beheld the blue smoke ascending high above the tree tops— tbe smoke of the pyre on which she was to have been immolated for her true love.

Behind the young brave who called to her so fiercely in his triumph, ran, with heavier tread the old chief ber Cither. He saw his child glance at the coming host, and then tneasure the sheer precipicei He saw her gather her rube about her as if to boond out into mid air! He heard 'the cry of the young brave and knew that another moment she would leap.

Maddenetl with hi ~ paternai fears, and burning with rage against the RIV for making him the judge of his child, and hoping to save tier by slaying him, be launched, behind him as hu was, his long spear end drove it deep into his back. The Brave leaped A tmn's height into the air, and with a fearful cry fell forwajJ at the feet—no, not at the feet, but where the FMT of the_ maiden had the instant before stood!

The grey-headed old warrior leaping over tbobody of the Brave INED the verge I f the cliff only to see the form of his child swiftly descending, like a bird with folded wings darting from the upper skies. A glance was a!l that be could obtain! The liext mo-ment she bad disappeared within the bosom of the U'de.

There was a pause of horror and admiration min-gled, as one after the other, the red men gazed down and understood what had been done.,

A cry.as they look, breaks from a hundred voices —A cry of surprise AAD fierce in its tone.

The maiden tiad risen to tbe surface—A canoe had the same 'ostant shot round a sharp spur of the cliff and lis occupant—her young C^STIAN lover— raised ber in his arms and placing ber almost lifeless in the twat, sent the richly fceighte<l bark down the stream with an arm of strength-and skill that placed it far beyond the reach of the arrows of the warriors on the cliff. Tbe old chief watched the receding ca-noe till it was lost in the curve of tlie river by the island below, and then blessed the Great Spirit who had guided hia child through the empty air and sav-ed her from the deep.

The Old Hunters long remembered this place as '=the White Deer's Leap;" though the presence of the Oity Hotel covering the top of tbe Cliff, has nearly obscured the ti-adition received by them from the In-dians themselves. D. B. M.

Th e best method for the prevention and cure of disease, is to cleanse the body and

purify the blood. Wrif ight's ludian Vegetable Pil ls surpass all

other medicines in carrying out tbia grand prin-ciple. The use of one box, nay. a tingle dose, often affords the most astonishing relief, in cas-es ol great suffering; and a perseverance, ac-cording tu directions, will most assuredly drive disease of every name from the body. At the same time digestion will be improved, the blood completely purified, and the patient restored to the must delightful ease and elasticity of apiriM.

No person or family who should use this medicine would afterwards be willing to ex-change it for any other article, and a single trial will do more to convince, of its value than vol-umes written in its praise.

A million of boxes are sold annually in the Dnited Sta tes alone, from which fact some idea may be formed of its celebrity. The in-valid who is perplexed with the hosts of "quack" nostrums, would do well to give this medicine his attention. W e are ready to gaa-ranty that it is beyond all question one of the best that was ever produced.

on the hill, and thelight in tbem kindles with resolu-tion. The dark hill sides are now all alive with waf<-riors who issue from the depths of the mount of pines like ants from their hill. One after another each warrior raises that fierce cry as she is discovered, and a hundred voices Joining in, the sky reverberates with the fearful swell of rage, increasing as the otterers advance across the plain that interposes between the ciifi" and the foot of the mount.

She saw the open area filling each moment with increased numbers, and beheld a hundred spear heatis 01 pulished agate glitter in thetun-light. Yet she moved not, tliougb aware that shebersell alone, was the only object of their fury. With a firm eye, yet a pale cheek, she seemed taawait their coming. The foremost of the party, a youthful brave, who had not seen many more summers thatLlIhe herself, brandish-ing his lance, called out to ber in a voice harsh with revenge and < riuraph, that she was now bis!

'•Never /Aiae,** she murmored, with deep emotion. "I am as free of thy grasp, vain chief, as the bird thou hast scared from yonder tree top. 1, too, have but to f s from this cliff to escape thee. Ere my bodv reaches the river below I know the good aagel's of God will bear my spirit up into the blue skies!"

These thoughts calmed her and gave new courage to her heart in that fearful hour. Melta, (tbe white Deer) was a Christian. She was about to become a martyr. Three years before she hud been taken cap-tive by the Illinois, who sold her tu a Roman Catbo lie missionary on the Lakes. The Sewanee Chief whose only.^ughter she was, having at length made peace with the lilinois. tbe latter, according to the terms of the treaty were to restore him his child.— The Illinois, faithful to their pledge, made a long and Wearisome journey into tbe French country, and succeeded after two years in discovering and obtain-ing her by stratagem. A convert to the faith ct tbe Cross, the lovely Meta sought to win over to tbe truths of tlio Gospel the stern old chief, her fattier. But be urncd a deaf ear. Meta bad a lover, a noble youth worthy of bor; and he had a iira], another brave who was vicious and everyway evil.

IT is now generally admitted by the learned and scientific, that the mysterious power

called Galvanism, or Magnetism, b in fact the FRiKciPLE o r VITALITY OR u F e , a n d that Dis-ease, in many of its most painful forms, is en-tirely owing to the absence of this Galvaaic or Magnetic power in his healthy proportions. If, then, we can readily supply this wonderous power, when it is thDS deficient, we can suc-cessfully combat Disease; and this has been folly and perfectly attained by the present beautiful and scientific instrument.

T h e Messenger, on the 1st January instant, will enter upon its Fifteenth 'Volume and the Fifteenth year of its existence. Th i s respec-table age IS the surest guarantee of its perman-ence. T o the South it appeals for renewed liberality and support, that it may DOC only continue, as heretofore, the compeer of the beat Northern Periodical, but aspire to yet higher t r iumphs and a still wider field of asefiilness.

As the only Southern Magazine, strictly lit-erary in its character, a jus t sectional pride should encourage and foster it. Th i s appeal, however, is ma!de in connection with the assu-rance on the part of the Editor, that i ts intrin-sic merits s h ^ l a lways conunand an extended circulation.

W i t h a view to improve the appearance of the work, tbe Editor announces that the Fif-teenth Volume will appearin entirely new type from the Northern foundry, so that the typo-graphical excellence of the Messenger shall be unsurpassed.

C O N D I T I O N S . 1. T h e Li terary Messenger is published in

monthly numbers. Each number contung not less than 64 large super-royal pages, printed on good type , and in the best manner, and on paperof the most beautiful quality.

2. T h e Messenger is mailed regularly on or about the first day of every monthiu tbe year . Twelve numbers make a volume, and the price of subscription is $5 per volume, payable in advance—nor will the work be sent to any one unless the order for i t is accompanied with the cash.

3. T h e risk of. transmitting subscriptions by mail will be rasumed by the Proprietor.
