1. Chr is t w a s promised in the l ineage of A b r a h a m . '

SECOND DISPEKSATIOS.

1. Chris t has actually come, and set up his kingdom. Hereditary descent , birth-right af-ter the flesh, or parental sponcorship, have no place in it.

2 . AII the spiritual seed of Abraham through faith in Christ , are heirs to the blessings of the new covenant . Children af ter the flesh, are not known in it.

3. Regenera t ion , or circumcision of the hear t , (not of the fiesh.) is an indispensable qualifi-cation to the blessings of the new covenant .

4. Inher i tance in she heavenly Canaan , is the promised blessing of the Chris t ian, wether J e w or Ccn t i l c .

5. Heirship in the new covenant , is no f by birth-right af ter the flesh, but af ter the spirit.

6. T h e priesthood of Christ , was not af ter the law of a carnal commandment , but af ter the power of an endless life. (Heb . vii. 11-16.) H e n c e Christ was never inducted into his priestly office af ter the mode of the priesthood o f . \ a r o n H e n c e also, the Jewish dispensa-tion, with its " ca rna l orUi nances ," and worldly sanc 'ua ry , " was an illustrious lype of the gos-pel dispensntion. Circi imcisim bore same re-lation in the Jewish insrilution, as regenera-tion does in the Christian economy. "Chi l -dren a f te r the flesh," as such, have no pl:ice in the " n e w covenan t . " Birth of the spirit is an indispensable qualification for baptism, and ad-mission into the gospel Church.

T h e error that runs through the Calvanist ic scheme, con.-ists in confounding the^e ele-ments . It hereditary descen t ,o r "chi ldren af-ter the flesh,"' gives title to the blessings of grace, then is the Presbyterian r ight, the "old covenan t " has not "vanished away ," and Juda-ism is yet in force.

But If a spiritual birth and faith in Chris t , are indispensable prerequisi tes to gospel bless-ings, then is the Presbyterians wrong, and In-fant Baptism by vir tue of the Abrahamic Cov-enan t , is a nullity. ' J. M. p.

(A Converted Jew ) W e have read this work with no l i t t le inter-

est , and have been astonished tha t paternal na-ture, however depraved, could be guilty of such abuse as the author suffered at the hands of his father and family, for no other cause than bel ieving tha t Je sus is the Chris t . W e insert a few paragraphs from the work that our rea-ders may form some idea what bro. D . has s r f . fered for Chr is t ' s sake .

B r o . Davis in tends to travel extensively in the S ta te , preaching and distr ibuting books, depending upon the sale of his books for his support and tha t of his family, and the educa-tion of his children. H e has been in this S la t e nearly two years , and has , BO far, (as we have learred , ) sustained an irreproachable christian character —and h a s proved himself possessed of fine ta len ts as a public speaker and writer . W e commend him to the favor of our brethren genera l ly .

I t was now the month of Sep tember , 1831, ( the same month on which my mother died,) that Gild, in his mercy, resolved to "shor ten those days," of tribulation in order to perfect my salvation. O n e Fr iday, a f te r my father had exhausted his pat ience in endeavoring to provoke me to renounce my Saviour, he grew literally mad agains t mc, and resolved to put a stop to so much religion if possible. In order to accomplish his purpose, he suffered his bo-som to be inspired with Bonner's spirit , and so resort to harsh means . Immediately call ing me to him, he commenced insul t ing me with words like these . Chris t ian, Turncoa t , Mesha-mad. Fool, Beggar ," and fingering his watch Bca's with one hand, and ra t t l ing money in his pocke twi th the o lhe r , "Poor beggar , " he sneer-ed, "you may be r ich; stubborn foo! tha t you a re , whydnyou persist i n y o u r p r e s e n t c o u r s e ! " S t ra igh ten ing himself, and raising his voice; " H e a r me, s i r , " said he, " I will give you until to-morrow night to make up your mind wheth-er you recant or not. If you will, I will be more than a father to you; but if you will not I'll turn you out of doors, and cut you off with a shill ing. T h e n you may go totiel l with yuur Chr is t ians ." H e turned frnm me, and I went and rehearsed the m a t l f r in the ears of the Lnrd. On the ne.\t morning, I rose early and left the house befcre breakfast , th inking tha t thereby I should shun my now infuriated fa-ther ' s lace for one day, expect ing tha t he would ret ire to the Synagogue . I presumed that he Would hardly put his threats into execut ive as soon as he had s ta ted. l o order tha t I might be somewhat ret ired, I repaired to the ware-house, hardly expec t ing to see any ol the fam-ily until the a l te rpar t of the day, but scarcely had I arrived there ere my fa ther appeared be-fore me. De te rmined to carry ont his th rea t s tha t night , be had sought me early to put me on the look out . Maddened a t t he thought that b e had to come to t he warehouse a l te r me on t he "holy day ," h e comiaeoced swear ing most

awful ly a t me . " N o w , a i r , " said h e , « u k e your place a t t ha t corner of the warehouse, (point-ing with his finger,) and stay there till this night at ten o'clock. Make up your mind b ^ that t ime what you intend to do." ' I oTjeycd^ and took possession of the gloomy recess T h e r e 1 spent the day in fast ing and prayer to God. Shortly my poor, affiirted brother arriv-ed, and advancing toward me, he buried his face in hi? handkerchief with other hands , and wept aloud. I looked on him in pity and wept , too. " R e c a n t , " said he. My blessed Saviour, said I . " H e ' s an imposter ," he answered. I ! love him, said I . " In fa tua t ion , " he replied, i I have the evidence in my soul, I answered.— 1

antf- comwenceif ' pop--* t raying the misery he could conjecture that ' would be consequent upon my being turned out of doors. " T o n igh t , " said he, "your fa- i ther will decide your case, and ynu will perish ! in the s t reet . Ol how ran you be so blind to | your own in teres t ! Do recant . Shall I tell | father that you have recanted? O : mv dear ' brother , shall I say that you r ecan t . " He I stood over me, persuading and en t rea t ing me | so long, that I was just upon the very verge of | yielding, but ere I j'ielded to his importuni- | t ies, I experienced seasonable help from God; BO tbat I was enabled to hang upon the prunii-ses of the Scriptures, and stand firm. H e left me, but in a very short t ime returned with a j mes iage from my father, and present ing before !

I me money declared that if 1 would recant , that I ihe large amount should be immediately put j

I into my hands. For a moment I was com-' pletely staggered. My whole living was now I at my immediate disposal. I couhl have reat h-ed out my greedy hands-, and have grasped i

'Mammon, but God spoke, '-Lay not up for I yourself treasures on ea r th . " Go away, s a i l ; I , let me al me, for "miserable comforters are ye a l l " "Foo l , " s.iid he, " l e t the worst comc I upon you, who will pjty pou.'"' In nn hnur or ! two alterward my failier came u. i i i in a pace , or t t to o! «l iere I stood, he loi,kfd m me, j:is c.vpressicii al ter ing from contempt to r e v e n j r : , presently his couiitenance a^sut;.elJ a '.ea'i.re ; uf pity; he turnoJ awav without t^nvin*/ a \v(>ru; \

I but I saw tears fall from his eyes to the flaor : ; althiiugh he tried tu suppress them. Th i s wns ! j Sa tan ' s opportunity, " see said he what anjui>li j you are causing your fa ther ; and cjjnsider 1 what anguish he will cause you." Tb i s temp-

j tat ion had well nigh the desired effect. JJy soul was cast down and more than once I ac-tually stepped out of my corner, to sign mv re- j cantatiun and ask my father 's forgiveness.— |

I Like in-'piralic'.% the thought flashed across my | ! mind, " H e weeps because you will not disown I I your Saviour and with him go to hell. Enter j ' into life halt and maimed." T h e thought star- : tied and s t rengthened me, and blessed be God, | I bccanie firmer than ever. In an hour or two my sisters and step-mother arrived, covered j with jewels , artificials, and s t reaming feath- i crs. T h e y stalked near to who 'e I was »nd | then commenced twit ter ing, sniggering, grin-ning and satyrising. "Chr i s t i an , " said one ; ' Christian th ie f , " said another. " F o o l , " said another. "You' l l suffer, you rascal ." "You' l l repent of all th i s . " "You' l l die in the v. ork house, and then go to hel l ." W h e n they were tired of that amusement they wished me unan-imously a meshonmeahina.* and then they re-tired to the show room to select more artifi-cials. T h u s they spent the great and h;>ly seventh day. T h e i r course actually disgusted me, and I turned my back upon them as they were leaving me, and renewed my vow of love to my blessed Saviour.

T e n t imes on that day I was on the verge of recant ing, but every t ime I was favored with such clear views of God's saving grace, and the word of his trutli, tha t I was enabled to bless God and take courage. At about five o'-clock in the evening the devil ceased to tempt me I began to glorify God, for I experienced such s t rength of soul as to enable me to form a de te rmimt ion to suffer for my blessed L.irJ; so that had all the fires and faggots of Mary and Bonner been placed before me, I could have endured their utmost torture, ra ther than have swerved from confessing my Lord and Saviour. Men and devils now left me to enjoy a serene mind preparatory to the hour of trial, 10 o'-clock; I prayed for the worst, I was ready lo meet it. A little after nine all the hands were paid off, the place was closed, and all the gas iiglits were put out but one. Now, said Sa tan , prepare to die. But he could not mnve me, for I was prepared and expected death. Noth-ing daunted, my faith was in God, I was un-moved. L e t it come said I , let it come. A-bout 10 o'clock my father and I were alone.— He took his position a t the far corner of the warehouse and summoned me to appear before him. At tha t m o m e n t a thought like inspira-tion, presented to my mind my Saviour beiure Pilate, and a voice seemed to say, - 'Keep your .Master, Chris t , before you fur a paucrr.."' I obeyed the summons and stood before him.— For a few minutes not a word was said, when presently he commenced mocking and deri-ding me. " W h a t do you look l ike!" asked he, "you look like what vou are , a Chr is t ian ;" raising li's voice, "wel l , s i . , " he roared, "»re you willing to part with m e ! " You, sir 1 re-plied, are a good father to me, you know that I love you, you know that I don't deserve ibis persecution. If I am wrong in my religious views, let us sit down with the liible in hand and shew me wherein. "You , s i r ." he replied,

have nothing to do but wha t I tell you, I shall be answerable in ihe day of judgment for you ." T h a t , sir, said 1, may be Rubbi, but it is not Bible. " T e l l me, s i r ," said he, "would you ra ther part with me or Chr i s t ! " I 'm ready, said I, to make ten* thousand sacrifices, even of you, much as I love yoo, and all tha t you arc | A-iirih, hut don' t t ake from me my Saviour .— . On hear ing lhat he screamed and cried; he 1 would have spoken but his pas.fion choked him, ; and th rowing biraself across a large mahoga- j ny desk he sobbed alond. P resen t ly he jump- j ed up, cursing and s v e a r i n ^ and running to-

•Sudden dreaded b y t b e l e s s .

ward me wi th uplifted umbrella, " T e l l me once for al l ," he roared out, " a r e yoa a Chris-t i a n ! " I answered, I am. A t tha t he cursed my soul again and again. " N o w , " s a i d h e , " g o to the Christ ians, and see If they will give you a meals victuals," and tak ing hold of the collar of my coat he kicked me from his house, and having locked the door he came i(p to me and shook his fi-t in my face, and cursed me with a most horrid curse, saying at the same time, "you' l l repent t h i s . " At that moment I thought I heard m ist melodious voices s inTing ."when thy father and thy mother forsake thee, then the Lord will take thee iip." Fa the r , said 1,1 shall never repent it, but you will.

•Hiaj ieart hardened, niine sof tened, and as he turned upon his heels to leave me, I wondered that a parent could be so weaned from a child. In a moment I was thrown from affluence to poverty. T h e night was c.iol and damp, and for the first t ime ill my life I had no bed to lie upon. My clothes were shabby, and pockets nearly empty; nei ther did I know where IJ should get mv nes t meal from. I did not know ' a single person in whnm 1 could repose cnnfi- | dence but the poor boy Thomas, and he was lar i off. Fil led.wit ' i moriifying reflections grow-ing out of my situation, I could noi tielp weep- , ing. I walked toward borne snfl rt'iafl .Vr site to the wel l known a n j well lighted home; I saw company riJUMi tlie lieu tables plavini cards.

T H E VISIT. 'VTION S E R M O X . S'lnic forty year? L.ive elapsed since a cu-

rious cirrumstaiice ot i iirred at \ n r w i c h , E.n^-land, in cnanectiun wnh the Rev. Joseph Kin<.ihi)rn. of that city, tlio well kn".> ii - ••i-nenl of R iberl Hal ' , on ' ferTis of C pnimun-inn; the facts w i!I aff,.rd nm;:seinent to imr rt-j-d?rs, and will t^fi.iw the clergy that il tliey ever! chouse to preach another man 's serm.ui, it is import to read it beforehand, at least while there ia yet time to procure another.

I t is a lact well known, tiiat many of the Episcopalian clergy of E n g U n J , even some o those who are reputed as evana-elical. pur.;hase their sermons in manuscript; and that noi a few of tliein are written by dissenting minis ters. It happened that at the period we have already indicated, a visitation was about to be held by the liisliup, aud a certain reverend oi the city, probably berause he was a sprig ol nobili y, was appointed to preach the sermon. His reverence, utterly unable to compose a suitable discourse, applied to different persons famed for pulpit eloq'jence, to assist him. but | met with a series of disappointments. A t j length, some one recommended an application to Mr. Kinghorn. H e heard the request of his neighbor, and knew precisely what was wanted, but unfortunately, his engagements were so numerous that liG could not possibly write the sormon till the evening bel.>re the day when it was to be delivered. Th is was no difUculty whatever to the cler-ryman, who indeed did not call for it till he was on his way to deliver it. On receiving it fr.jm Mr. K. , with the assurance that it was " t h e best ser-mon h e could write for the occasion," and handed over " t he fee ," about five dollars, he proceeded to the crowded church. A few minutes before en ter ing the pulpit, after being fully robed in the vestry, and having also put on his "Mas te r ' s scari ," he took out his sermon case to see whether the manuscript was fairly and boldly writ ten. Th i s being "all r ight ," his eye first caught the te.'Lt, which was scarce-ly satisfactory; but at this moment, the rector and beadle came to conduct him to ihe pulpit, v/here, in a few moments, he read as the I'our;-dation of his discourse, Isaiah 41: 10, 11 — " H i s watchmen are blind; they are all isnor-aot , they are dumb dogs, they cannot Lai U; s leeping, lying down, l iv ing to slumber, yea. tiiey are greedy liog-a wbich never can h .ue enough, and they are s'lepiicida lli.it ca i in j l understand; they all lo- k tu llir-ir i.'Wn wav, every one for gain from 'bis q u a r t e r . ' " Tin-sermon wa.- , as the reader has already antici-pated, a severe philippic on tbe imbecility and vices of the clergy. The preacher liaJ wii er.ough to see that all was wr.mg. but be iiad no other seiuion provided, una liad not sense suSicient to al ter the one before him. T u . commotion in the cburi Ii during its d e l i v c was terrific; ihe P,i=,hup Irowned, tbe r ler^v bi t thi- i r Iip3 with chagrin, and the congrega-tion fairly lauglied outright.

T h e service at length closed, and the Bishop angrily osked the preacher why he had given them sur.h a sermon. T h e answer was ai least tru-;. ' Indeed, my ! ird, I am very sorry; but I aesiire your lordship I did not write the sermon, and did not know wliat was in il till your lordship heard i t . " " W h o wrote it for you ! " " W h y , my lord, it was wri t ten by 3Ir. Kinghorn , a very eloquent Baptist minister o! the city, from whom 1 had it this uiorniDg."— H i s lordship now saw t h a ; he was t a l i i ing ta a most incorrigible dolt ,and dismissed him wiili the wise counsel, tha t if he ever again WE^ called to preach on a public orcaMon, he would do well to compose h i | own sernioa.— MtaViriaL

Mr. , a merchant , now residing in Phi l-adelphia, who formerly lived in rather ex-travagant style, was in ihe havit every Monday morning of givinir his wife a certain sum of money for the table and other household expen-ses of the week; he n^ver mentioned his buaU ness te his wife, and she deeming him snffi-ciently capable of a t tending to ^ i s owji affairs, never inquired them. About five years af ter their marriage, through some sl ight mismao-agemen land the rascality of his clerk, M r . — suddenly broke,aud bis full was mention ' sym-pathisingly' on change, and, like all such mat-ters, there all sympelby ended. T h e merchant kept tbe affair a secret , and tlie first intimation his lady bad of it, was a news paragraph in the 'Ledger .

Doroibea D.x, that go.id -eiiiu.s that minis-ter ing aogel lo the criminal and maniac, the outcast ol earth, and the stricken of God—is, as vuu would suppose, a woman of most noble and nrppo^^p-siRg apprsrEr-rr-. She ia fair and slight, aiid hioks but ill adapted physically f-.r the life of sell-sacrifi-e, endurance, and ci-m-ist Silvers,-jirian exertion, t-i wliicb she has consecrated herself.

DUMBER It.

P R I E S T .

W e reaclfed our seat in the Cathedral, just as M r . SchClt raised the Tennessee Baptist, to reply to mr editorial, touching his lecture lost week. Th-^ congregation was very large

Quch larger than the previous evening. Mr. S . wa.. evidently laboring under a powerfuUy excited .taL« of mind. His face flushed « u h Ilia expres^-ms. and his dark eyes flashed wuh inquisitori^ vindietiveness and fire. W e saw that a s t o r i of some kind ^waited a t leos t . i f J o t f t a i i . '

He termid the Brat paragraph of our article. MCurrllous.^ This convinces us that he is not acnusinled with the language he uses. No one can se? scurility in that paragraph. W e atateJ insi i ' j s tance. that we were disappoint-ed. W e Apected toTiear a fine speaker, but was mistaken; H witness a display uf brilliant talents, bu^ was disappointed That theef for t was a miserably lame affair. W e also gave i t as our oDinion that either he was ignorant of his subject or a wicked n a n , and his attempt to reply. l | t ierved tocoafirm us m the opin-

" " l . He ploved that Roger WUUams' church, 1 e t h a t 1 -Prov idence , was the first organ-ised in America. TbU we did n o t d e n y . - -2 Tha t hfl was irregularly bapUzed. This we nnver denied—and here he left this case as though he iiad gained a victory.

Wecarfcot now see. any better than before, why Mr. I cha t t ever lugged Eoggr Williams int.. his leftnre, unless to make the impression that J l r . Winiams was the founder of .4.men-ean Bapiilts, and so ot but recent date, and throngh his irregular baptism, we were aU nn-bapti ied.

W e s a i - a j a i n . i f h e designed to make ei-ther imprss ion , he was either ignoranUy or wi l f tny Slsleading his hearers. If he did not d e J g l t o make either impression, why did h e Joe inr^ ^ ^ unless i t Iras tu prejudice hia hearers against Bap t i s t s f J

2. He ?^iteratedthatno one ever question-ed the pr5^.nce uf infant baptism. until Pe te r da Brui3 , |B H19 . This we again pronounce false—anldeny that he sustained his assertion.

' f ^ s t l e s , we find it boldly opposed. This speaks but poorly Cir divine or apostolicalan-t h m t y . W e will rebut the^ doubtful au-thority of M r . Schatt ' s two witnesses, with doable a»-ouuiy more. T h e Magdeborgenses, in their history, century 1, 2, p. 496. edition of Basle, 7 . torn, assert, " In the first century they J n d that they baptized only the aduU or aged but, 'de Infehibus baptizatis exampla non legnnt/ 'L™ ? tey do not read of the baptism of infanis.

d e m o n s , in the first century asserts who they coi^dered the proper subjects of bap-tiara. "Snch as have passed through an ex-anrination, and received instructions-—Morn-ingus, p. 2.

Ignatius afSrms "that it, baptism, ought to he accompanied with faith, love and patience, after preaching."—Letters to Polycarp.

In the second century, Justin says in his second apology. " I wiU declare unto you how we-offer up ourselves to God, after that we are received though Christ. [No infants here —ami Tia baptismal regeneration ] Those among us instructed in die faith, are brought to the-wacer they are baptizeil t h e r m , &c. No sprinkling or pouring. Without bring-ing forward a tithe of our proof, we leave our proposition, opposed by Mr. Schatt , and sup-ported by- Dr Barlow, Doctor of the Chair at Oxford, and a man eminent for learning. " I dQ believe, and know, that there is neither precept nor example for infant baptism, nor any jus t evidence for it,for above 200 years after Christ; that Terturiian condemns it as an "unwar-rantable practice." »

3. He gave us a new reason why John's baptism was nut Christian—he says it was^ n It, for "John lived and dial a Jew!!" He talked so much about our logic, let us examine this nice specimen of his own. T h e baptism of Christ, and of the apostles could not have been Christian, fur they lived and died Jews —so there is no such thing as Christian bap-tism! Shades of Aristotle assist him.

4. W e denied his assertion that the Greek Chnrch poured, instead of immersed. H e ad-mitted that Goodrich in his history of relig-ions, admits that they immersed—and now we ask him for his authentic writer who denies it. Let him submit his authority.

5. He did not confess his error of using baptizo for bapto, in the case of the King, in Dan. iv. 25! Honesty becomes a Priest .

G- Mark 7: 4. " He ubjected tu uur position, that they bathed or immersed their hands.— Wliy, said Mr. Schatt. where would they get vases enoagh in Jerusalem for all to do this? Ersu they must have poured the water upon their hanils! He might as well ask where will the inhabitants of this city get wash basins enoagh to wash all their hands to-mnrrow miirning. and, iherefure they will pour water upon their hands!!

7. He said he did not claim tliat the blood of the firog poured the lake profusely, but that it tinged i t . Wha t , Mr. Schatt, a tea-sponnful of frog's blood tinge a whole lake?— But if you claim this diffinition, you yield your position upon baprizo—and you can tinge the fijrehead with water, or apply water to it slightly, as in wetting the fingers_and laying it on!!

S. He ai;ain declared that baptism for the remiision of sin, was undenied for 1600 years. This we deny. T h e authorities we have quo-ted above, deny it. and history ^ i^bu j idan l j a proof that there were large n u m B ^ in each century that denied this, and all the doctrines peculiar to the Catholic Church.

9. He intimated ihat no Christians denied it —"some who disputed it were not Christians." This is a very easy way to escape—and very ranch like the unmarried Fathers. W e are not easily misled by such assertions of Catholics. Respecting any particular doctrine or practice, as infant baptism, they tell us all Christendom has held to it in every age. When we find a people who denied it. " O h . " says the Catho-lic, " they were not Christians—aiHy here-tics!"

Schalt said he calls nobody a heretic who belieies what he preaches—"a heretic is one who impagns the known t ru th ." How long has Rome had such a dictionary? Did not the Anabairtists believe their doctrine.'— Did not the Reformers believe w h a t they prcached? Did not the Huguenots and the mil-lions of heretics whose blood has been shed by Catholics, believe what they taught?

10. T h e doctrine of Infant baptism was not dircctly taught or commanded in the Bible, yet the church held and practiced it, as an apostolical tradition, (quite a Sensation on the part of the pedubaptists present.) It is such a tradition as Paul says he delivered, icc., and

j universally observed for 1600 years. Tbis^is i the very point we wished him to prove. He must know that assertion is not argument with Protestant?.

Here he closed his review^of our article dis-claiming any design tn injure Baptists—he on-ly wished to establish the doctrines of his own church. This was for effect. He. and his hearers well know, that if he succeeded in es-tablishing the doctrine of his church, he over-throws all the pretentions of Baptists, to scrip-tural or primitive Christianity?

Mr. Schatt , after proving from the fathers thatiufttiits were baptized to wash away the taint of original sin—he closed with a little spice of abuse and egotism.

Catholic priests can prove wh at they say, an l when he said anything he could prove it —^e said he had shown a full grown Pope in the New Testament, much to the diversion of his bearers, in a previoas.lecture.—(much ex-cited.) I t would not do to call Aim ignorant

\ or wicked hare, he was known too well, ficc H e had no paper "m which to defend himself.

L e t him find, 1. A Pope in the New Testament, or before

the 5th or 6th centuries. 2. Find the doctrine of baptismal rogeneir-

ation in t he first century. ' X Find Infant Baptism in the first cen-

tury. ' ' - - - • -4. Prove that either doctrine was not ques-

tioned before the days of Peter de Brui i . A . D . 1119. • - ~ -

Now when Mr. Schatt has managed these, we have o t ie r subjects in reserve, invdving the real nJerits of his church.- I f he wishes to enlighten Protestants, this will afford him a fine opportiinity. - - -

P . S . Not one of the questions we pro-pounded to him, was satisfactorily answered, except that the Catholic church did hold In-fant Baptism as a tradition.

' In fan t communion he did not notice. He does not know what becomes of unbaptized infants, either those of Catholics or Protes-tants!!

" We shall find them without any scrip-tural authority, to immerse, or baptize, taking them u p o n their own grounds, that he tha» has a right to immerse, must have this right from having been previously inamersed him-self. No such man ever stood in the front of the Baptist Society!"

" A ducked B. or C. ducked himself and so the Baptist Society started!" These things are a matter of history. Name the man who will deny this? A n s . \ n y intelligeiU man. Name an editojt in the United States that Eras the recklessness to assert it. W e challenge you to produce him.

"The re we behold Manzer, Stork. Stubner. and others of the stamp—filled with a mad fanaticism, ruinous to the peace and order of society—"k mad fanaticism, in some respects equalled by their children, the Bap-tists of Tennessee."

Oh! close com-munioncant, whata jewel!)

Such are the statements of one who was degraded from the ministerial office, and ex-pelled from the Methodist Protestant Church fbr lying.

But if Mr. McFerrin, editor of the paper here, or the "Memphis Christian Advocate," or the Ban-ner of Peace, or the Watchman and Evan-gelist, or any other paper, will endorse them, one, or all, and admit our vindications into their columns, we will engage to disprove them.

i remain your brother in Christ, J . J . S P A R K S .

A N S W E R S . The answer to the 2d and 4th queries de-

pends upon what are the essentials of chris-tian baptism!

W e answer, 1st. a.proper ofHcer; 2d. aprop-er design.

(1.) To be a proper officer he must be in-vested with office by a proper body, i. e. a reg-ular gospel church—like that at Jerusalem, in other ncords he must be acting for a gospel chnf th .

(2.) He must himself have been scripturally baptized.

2.- A proper design is—the visible represen-tation of the burial and resurrection of Christ, by immersion and emersion in water, by which act the subject publicly "puts on Christ" by taking the oath of supreme allegiance, in the formula of baptism, to the Trinity, in opposi-tion to the organizations and traditions of men.

Now, have not the separate Anti-missiooary Baptists, though in manifest and distroctive error in some matters of practice, still a gos-pel government—a divine organization? Cer-tainly. Do they not baptize with the proper design! They do.

Bat has a Pedo-baptist society either the 1st or 2d essential feature.

Their officers are no more the proper admin-istrators of christian baptism than are the presidents of Bible societies, by virtue of their offices, since their societies are no more chris-tian churches than the Bible societies in New York are. Nor do they baptize with the proper design—but for several and radically different purposes.

The Catholics, Episcopalians, aqd Methodists baptize for the actual remission of sins, to ef-fect the pardon of sins and the regeneration of the heart. W e defy any man to deny it, as we have, for years past, the editor of the Methodist Advocate in this city.

The baptism of Campbellites is not valid for the very same reasons. They have neither a gospel church nor do they administer baptism with a proper design, theirs being the same as that of Catholics. The minister and church of God has nothing to do with the conscience of the applicant. The minister must abide by God's word, by the laws and statutes of the Great King and Lawgiver in Zion; and if the applicant is not satisfied let him go elsewhere. It icon/ do to let down the fence if you want to preserve the crop.

3. The sin against the Holy Ghost, is the grieving of the Holy Spirit on the part of the sinner until the cop or portion of mercy allot-ted to him is exhausted—when he is left—left

i to believe some lie, that he m a y b e damned, because he would not receive the truth but have pleasure in unrighteousness. Compare the drawing of God to a cord of a thousand

; strands, one of which breaks with every resis-I tance on the part of the sinner. One after another he severs, by violating the monitions of conscience—the drawing is weaker and weaker, until the last strand parts, wheti the sin that has no expiation is sealed up. The christian cannot commit this sin.

T o the Erst three questions wc answer yes. T o the fonfth, ask ,the Shelbyville Expositor since that is a ^'quarter " or rather a pieayune affair, and snch matters are just about suite'd t a i » calibre. I s it becoming the dignity of a christian editor to ask such questions? None but that of the editor of the Methodist Advo-cate. r- - - -

Wi l l Mr. McFerrin now, since it is plam t h i t he can notice aSj have the ^wdness to an-swer the following queries y(e have again and again called to his notice.

1. I s not the doctrine of 1>apti«in«l regener-ation as cleariy taught in the writings of .^ohn Wesley as in thoae of Alexander Campbell!

2. Is not the same doctrine clearly taught in the Methodist Discipline?

3. Is not the Methodist society a great anti-slavery society—and one of its expressed de-signs the extirpation of the heinous sin of slavery. ' If Mr. McF. dare dany them we •pledge ourself to prove them beyond cavil or contradiction, in three articles, provided Mr. McFerrin will insert them in the Advocate, and we will copy his replies.

Now, Mr . M c F . . show yourself a man, and a candid christian, who is not afraid of the truth apd meet these issues. Refuse, and hoWst meTf AviiPknow' yonVWaf i r i i i d—mi 'he convinced these things are even so, as they will find them to be if they will read "the Doctrinal Trac ts , " and the Discipline.

R I D I C U L E . In this age, when the uncompromising ad-

vocate of primitive Christianity is sought to be t)ome down and tiki.ced by sneers, derision and ridicule, when its enemies have no power to answer him by argument, the following, from the pen ef Sidney Smith, is not in appro-

A R E P R E M I U M S G A M B L I N G ? So much has bfeen said by Pedo-baptists a-

bout our offering premiums for the discovery of sundry passages claimed by them as being in the Bible, that we are compelled to notice them. If they believe them to be gambling, as they declare, they are grossly ignorant. If they do not believe what they say. they are very bad, to say the least, in charging gamb-ling upon us.

If the offering of a premium be considered gambling, then are the premiums offered by medical, agricultural, scientific and literary so-cieties all a gambling operation—even to the premium given by the Insurance OfBces in this city to the first fire company who reaches a gre—and rewards of all kinds, even those of-fered for the best religious tract on a given subject!! All sensible men know that there is no more gambling in offering premiums than in buying prayer books.

To prove that Pedo-baptists do not believe it themselves, read the following premiums of-fered by a Presbyterian editor, in a Presbyte-rian paper. Watchman & Observer. Va .

§100 reward to any Roman Catholic who will find in the New Testament a single in-stance of orricular confession, to either priest or apostle.

The Advocate complains at our expo-irare of that tax of §6,400 for the five [four now, we suppose, Bascom being dead] bish-ops. He tries in vain to fix it up. He says we knew that the salary of a bishop is the same as that of other traveling preachers, i. e . S200 per annum. W e knew it, did we? Divide 6,400 by four, and you have Sl,600, or by five and Si,280. Who gets this if the bishops do not? Where does it go? Oh. says Mc. he knew that the S6.400 to be raised for the "quarterage, table, and traveling expenses" of the five ffour now] bishops of the Metho-dist E. church and their familes." Wei ' , of course w • knew it. and said so. Bat yon say that we misrepresented the whole alfair—for the liishop has only S200 salary—and the S l , -400 balance is a little item thrown in for quarter-age, table expenses. &c. Ah! indeed, well this is an ism of Methodism we did not understand

excuse ns this time. Yon oaght to conde-scend to take ali t t le pains to explain Method-ism to us—we may join you some day when

the Baptist expel us for , if you promise CO make a bishop or an editor of us—we aim at •omethins higher than an eldership.

W e hope our readers will excuse ns; we may as well langh as scold at him. He that week-ly declares ns nnworthy of notice, as often de-votes from one to four columns to us! O con-»istenpv!

This ruined, and consequently reckless man denies,

1. Tha t he ever had charges preferred against him by an Annual Conference in South Carolina.

2. Tha t he was ever expelled by a Quarter-ly Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church, and as such, joined the Methodist E . Church.

3. T h a t he ever joinad the Methodist E . Church as an expelled minister. (He deceiv-ed them,then, or singular communion must ex-ist between these .Metho list Societies, w h e ^ one will receive those the other expels for falsehood!!)

4. T h a t he was ever legally tried before any ecclesiastical court, and there expelled on charges preferred.

W e see his quibble; he was not legally tried. It poorly becomes him to go into a lengthy ar-gument, to show that though he was proved guilty of falsehood and grossly unprincipled conduct, degraded from the ministry, and ex-pelled the chnrch. yet there was a flaw in the proceedings. John W . Webster plead the same thing. No rogue ever yet praised the law.— That he was tried by the Methodist Church ia Charleston, and just ly expelled, that Church testifies—and scores of the first citizens of Charleston will testify. Is not this enough.' He cuuld as easily escape from the peniten-tiary as to evade the fact. But. softly "Old M a n . " Have you, or have you not. declared that you joined the Protestant Methodist Church through mistake? Now be careful h rw yoa answer it. " I t requires no far seeing eye to see serious consequences beyond i t ."

To THE Afflicted.—Bakkibg's Lace.— This celebrated instrument is for the relief or •core of the following difficnlties, viz: Pain and | weakness in the Back, Breast and .Sides, Pal- |

Now, that this matter may be brought to a bearing, and the honesty of the Baptist de-nomination tested, I propose to meet any man the "Baptist Association" may see fit to se-lect, and if I succeed in securing the vote of the majority present, not members of any church, that infant baptism is clearly taught in

T h e principle on which these affections are relieved by the brace is:

1st. By supporting the weak part of the back, pushing it forward under the shoulders.

2d. By lifting the sunken abdomen. Also, removing a dragging from the parts above, thereby expanding the chest and strengthen-

W e re-publish Mr. J . L . Ciiapman'a certificate of character, again, this week, and print several hundred extra copies, as we fail-ed to supply the immense call for them in the city last week. S uch is (he man that Mr. Mc-Ferrin endorsed before this public.

W e feel constrained to thank our nu-merous friends in the South west for sixty-six new subscribers thia veek. This looks like a determination to circulate the Baptist Tract .

Now gentlemen of the Baptist Association, if such we may call you, what say you this!— Have you any man among you that you can bring up to this work, set by your own folly! W e shall wait several days in Nashville for an answer. Should you fail to meet this issue, it ia to be hoped that you will take down your gambling sign board, and blot out with tears of regret, the letters that set forth the re-ward.

W e shall not refuse to meet even the editor of the Tennessee Baptist, though we have not the most remote idea, he is a gentleman. He , is however, "endorsed by the whole denomi-nation;" and this, of course, is enoagh for us; bring him out, we shall meet him on one hours notice. Come gentlemen, come; no backing out. JAS . L. CHAPMAN.

W e are glad to see the above. T h e mat-ter is now brought to a definite point. Mr. Chapman, endorsed by his brother McFerrin, and his Society in this city, we suppose, offers to produce one plain, positive passage, con-taining a command for, or an example of the christian baptism of infants in the New Tes-tament. The reward shall be faithfully paid, —and we pledge ourself-*D leave the Baptist church the day it is produced, and take a cir-cuit.

Now, in order to settle the question speedi-ly, let Mr.^Chapman first,prodace one passage that eminent Pedobaptist divines themselves have not, or do not positively deny, as teach-ing or the practice of Infant baptism, or from which it can be clearly inferred. And when be has found one that his own people, i. e. Pe-dobaptists, do not disown, then we will leave it to the decision of any twelve impartial men, under oath.

Now, vre will see what "Iwistinij and turn-ing can he done over there," as well as crowing!

ciple entirely different from that of corsets and shoulder braces; removing all desire or propriety.in their nse.

No public speaker should be without one of Banning's Laces.

W e most especially recommend the Lace to ou^iiiinistering brethren. W e have used one the present year, and we have been enabled to do three times the usual amountof labor with-out pain, and scarcely without fatigue. We have no doubt but that the use of the Lice will add twenty-five per cent to the lives asd usefulness of the ministry.

Dr. C. K. Winston of this city, has pur-chased the right for Tennessee, by whom the Lace will be supplied, and any medical adrice obtained.

Bro. H. G. Scovel, Druggist, is his Agent ia the i-ity, whe'-e the instrument can be oeeo.

Again, his friends m etide«fonDg tolmake capital but of the'&rt that this said "Old Man" hsa lately preached m this city and challenged immeraionists, who could prove tharuelves worthy of notice from him, by Ptdohaplisl cer-tiJicaUs, a^d none appeared.

H e IS also, now bringing out his sermons in book form, and his friends are mokiog eS ir t s to circulate 50 or 100,000 copies in the State and elsewhere, which sermons are intended to bring Bapt i su and Baptist faith and practices into ridicule and derision.

It is, therefore, high time to let his true char-acter be known, tbot the public may see the man and the character uf the man, thus used by Methodists to abuse Baptists, and ridicule the baptism of Jesus Christ.

pastor of the Baptist Church in Charleston: C h a r l e s t o h , April 10.

Bbo . M o a s i s o a : Your letter proposing certain enquiries in

reference to one J. L . Chapman, has been re-ceived, and I hasten to reply, i called on the I ^ v . J. H. Honour, one of our most respecta-ble citizens, and a member of the Methodist Protestant Church, he informed me i i a t the said Chapman was once pastor of the Metho-dist Protestant Church in this city—that he was, while here, arraigned before the Confer ence on various charges, (one a charge of falsehood,)—that every charge was sustained, and he was deposed from the ministry. H e is regarded here as a thoroughly unprincipled man.

Aflectionately, &c. , J. R . K E N D R I C K .

There are two things in this letter w e wish borne in mind,

1. That R e v . J. H . Honour is one of the most respectable citizens of Charleston, and is pastor of the Protestant Methodist Church in that city.

2. That Mr. Chapman is regarded there as a thoroughly unprincipled man!

T h e letter below is from the R e v . Mr. Hon-our, present pastor of the Protestant Metho-dist Church of Charleston:

C h a b l e s t o s , April 16, 1850. M b . J o h h M o b b i s o i c :

Dear Sir, I am in receipt of your favor of the 2nd instant, asking for the "proceedings of Conference against, or in the case of J. L. Chapman." I am not able to furnish you with any "documents," as I do not know in whose possession the micutea of the trial are; but the circumstances of the case are briefly these:

J. L. C. was in charge of the Methodist ProtestantChurch in this city in 1845, having been transferred from the Alabama to the South Carolina Conference. His whole con-duct and manner were exceedingly improper, and gave great offence to a large majority of the members; at length he proceeded so far in his outrages, abuse of persons, maladministra-tion, neglect of pastoral duty, assumption of power, &C., &C., thatMajor Will iam Laval and myself were induced to prefer charges against him for unchristian and unministerial conduct, maladministration of discipline./aZseAoodj&c., &.C.

H e was brought to trial on these charges be-fore a Commitae of Ministers, consisting of the Rev. Alexander McCaine, R e r . Thomas Hutcbings, and Rev. H . T . Arnold, who,-after a protracted public hearing in the church, in presence of a large number of spectators, and the examination of numerous witnesses, unani-mously found him guilty of all the charges, and suspended him from the ministry, until the meeting of the Annual Conference. W h e n that body met, they not only sanctioned the action of the committee, but expelled him from the Church.

H e published a scurrilous pamphlet, abusing the committee of trial, the President of the Conference, the complainants, witnesses, &c . , &c., of which no notice whatever was Uken , the universal opinion of otn- citizens being that i t was unworthy of a reply, and was confirma-tory of the character of the man, and the jus-tice of the sentence. Shortly after the trial he left for Alabama, and attempted to get into the Alabama Conference, but they would not receive him, and he joined the M e l o d i s t Epis-copal Church.

I omitted to say that he appealed against the action of the Sooth Carolina Conference to the General Conference, but his appeal was dismissed by that l>ody.

All these things are matters of record, might add a great many reports as to his char-acter and conduct, but, as he is so very lite-gions, perhaps it is not advisable lo do so—^yon will therefore excuse any comments from me and let the facta speak lor themselves.

It seems that in order to break the force of the above testimony, Mr . Chapman asserted that he joined the Protestant Methodist church through mistake, thinking it was the Methodist Episcopal Church!!

. \nd to destroy the evidence of Mr. Hon cur, he dwlared that \t was a personal diS&cnl ty with Mr. H . , te.

Mr. Honour being called upon again, testi-^ e s as follows:

M b . J o ^ h M o b b i s o s :

Dear Sir, Youre of the 4th inst has just reached me. I hardly supposed it {loasible that

. L. Chapman could have said or done anything to astonish me, ye t I must confess l a m sur-prised at his having t£e hardihood to say that he was not expelled -from the Methodist Pro-testant Church and depoaed from the ministry, but that, he withdrew when he discovered that he bad through mistake, connected himself with that instead of the Methodist f p t s c c ^ Church. I am surprised because the facts are so easily susceptible of proof, beyond all contradiction.

Sometime, perhaps in 1833 or 9 he made his appearance in Georgia, having recently left Apatachicola in Florida. H e joined the M. P. Church, and obtained licence to preach, was received^ into the Conference, and travelled one year under the stationing authority. H e subsequently was regularly transferred to the Alabama Conference, where be remained until the eud of 1844 receiving regular annual ap-pointments as a M. Protestant Minister. At that time the Church in Charleston being with-out a pastor, a ministerial brother connected with the Alabama Conference, was written to, to ascertain if a supply could be obtained. H e recommended Chapman, and upon his recom-mendation, C. was invited to take phargc of the church—he did so, bringing with him a r e ^ l a r certificate of transfer. The South Carolina Conference did not meet until the following October, when he presented his cer-tificate, was admitted a member of the Con-ference, and stationed in-Charleston. Su much in relation to his taking "care of the Methodist Protestant Church, under the im-pression that it was the Methodist Episcopal." From the foregoing you will perceive that he was at least six years recognized as a Methi)-dist Protestant minister, and that he bad been a member of three different Annual Confer-ences.

I gave you in my former letter, a short ac-count of his trial and suspension from the ministry, the action of the South Carolina Conference, who not only sustained the ver-dict of the committee, but expelled him from the church, and bis appeal to the General Con-ference, and its dismissal by that body. H e returned to Alabama, and claimed to be still a minister, because, as he alleged, the action against him was illegal. That body refused to recognize him. H e then joined the Methodist Protestant church on probation, and applied to a Quarterly Conference in Loundes-boro' for licence to preach, which was granted: but w h ^ the Annual Conference again met, they repudiated the action of the Quarterly Conference, and refused to admit him—he then joined the Methodist Episcopal Church.

I also mention to you in my former letter that after his expulsion, he published a scur-rilous pamphlet, which we considered unwor-thy of notice. It contains a tissue of false-hoods, but it establishes the fact of his trial and suspension from the ministry, as well as his connection with the Methodist Protestant church as far back as 1839, I therefore send you a copy.

You ask me to "send you such documents as will sustain the character I have given him," and to "place them in such a form as would enable you to use them in a civil court." I do not exactly know how this is to be done

r what would be regarded by your court as authority. If he dares to commence a suit, which I do not believe, for though a great braggadocio, he is like a dog that barks with-out biting—get a commission for examining witnesses here in a legal form, and there can be no want of evidence of men of the most unquestionable integrity, and well known to this community—such as Major W m . Laval, Mr. John Kingman, Rev. J. C. Miller, Mr. W m . Kirkwood, Mr. Stephen Thomas, Mr. Geo. S. Hacker, Dr. J. H. Honour, (not my-self,) Mr. W . J. Laval, &c. , &c.

T h e committee of trial consisted of the Rev. Alex . McCaine, now living in Alabama, Rev. H . T . Arnold, living in Laurens District, and the Rev Thos. Hatchings, pastor of the Mari-ners Church, Savannah, Ga.

If it should become necessary I may be able to get some authentic information of his his-tory while inApalacbicola—and the reason and manner of his leaving that place!!

Yours, respectfully, JNO. H. H O N O U R ,

P. S. The statement of Chapman that he had a/ierfOTUz! difficulty with me, which was the reason that charges were brought against him, is as untrue as all bis other statements. There never was any personal matter whatever be-tween us—I was influenced solely by a strict sense of justice to the church, to rid her of so uase a character. J. H . H .

Here we leave the matter for the present, if anything more is wanted, we will publish the records of his trial.

Perhaps this wiU be considered all the no-tice that the "Old Man" deserves from the Baptist press or ministry in Tennessee, until he procure certificates from seven men in Charleston, the Methodist ministry included.

1. If Mr. C. raises a dust abo'it these let-ters, let him settle it with the Church in Charleston.

2. If he puts forth anything he wishes us to notice, let him get Mr. McFerrin to endorse his article as truth, and w e will give it due at-tention.

3- W h e n .Mr. Chapman can get a certifi-cate of moral or christian character from the Protestant Methodist Church of Charleston, w e will do him the justice to publish it, and discuss any subject he may propose, on which we differ—oat/ not till then.

CASE OF THE MARSHAL IN BOSTON. OVFICE op A t t o r r e t G k n e s a i . ,

November 25, 1850. To ihe President: AS requested by ynu, 1 have

cai -efuMy esamined all the p ipers plared in mv liand^ rel n ing to complaints made against Charles fot-vens, fi> q.. the Marshal of the Massachusetts district, for all eged neglect and dereliction uf duly in failing to exi icute a warrant which came to his hands for the an est of William Crafts, a lugitive -lave.

These papers, consisting chiefly of the affidavits of Mt Devens, the marshal, his deputy. Mr. P. Riley, Ja mes Dickson. George T Curtis. Esq , and Willis H Hughes, agent foi the owner of the slave, with It' tiers from Mr. Fay and Mr. Curtis, are herewith r* turned Having pentsed them with care, i.nd r.f irtainly without any bias or prepossession in fa vor of tha marshal or his deputy, I must say that, th lougb I can see no evidence of any particular ac-ti rity and energy on their part, it seems to me there d- »es not s'ifBciently appear any cause for the censure of their conduct, or the removal of the marshal from ol Gee. A more commendable actfrity and enetgy m igbt probably hnve been exerted by them: but they

em to have acted, to a considerable extent, upon c, nsiiltation and in concert with Mr. Hughes, the

ent for the owner ot the fugitive, and what might oti lerwi.e appear to be blameable in them may have be in the result of that consultation and concert. In thi e uncertain state of the case, the declaration made by Mr. Hughes, at the ronclasion of the transaction, th It he ''bad no t-.omplaints to make against them." or words to that effect, is entitled to and has hail SO' ne influence on ray judgment.

. [i I could have discovered any satisfactory evi-di'i tce.of the neglect or evasion of duty by these of-fice rs, in this case, it would have been no less conso-nar. t w>th my feelings than witli my judgment to have rer ommended their ins'.aut dtsiaission from the pub-lic service

For the Tennessee Baptist. M e m p h i s , N o v . 8 , 1 8 5 0 .

B r o t h e r G r a v e s :

By the Providence of God and the Chris- i tian kindness of brethren D. E. Bums and C. C. Conner, the Second Baptist church in ! Memphis has been favored with a series o f ' protracted religious services. ,

These brethren preached with their usual eloquence, zeal and force, the word of God to large and attentive congregations. T h e church had been engaged for some time previous in special prayer for the blessing of God to be poured out on us, and the Holy Spirit's pres-ence was evidently in oar midst before their arrival.

Their visit and labors were consequently nt a favorable time, and God blessed their efforts in coitjunctlon with that of the pastor and church; to the conversion of more than twen-ty precious souls. During the a^ove services, sixteen additions were made to the church; the pa.stor baptized twelve persons on the 4th Lord's day in October, and three others have been approved for baptism since they left, and others are expected to come forward soon.— There were five others of our ministering brethren iucidentally at otir services, who en-tered into the work with such christian cor-diality and fervency of spirit, as to endear them to us all.

It is always a cause of gratitude and prayer to God for ministers who labor for the advance-ment of the good cause with any people: these brethren share largely in these exercises of our church.

Among the incidents of this meeting, which the writer would mention, with unfeigned gratitude to the ever blessed Jehovah,"was the baptism of his youngest child aged ten years, his seven others having been all previously baptized, so that his eight children, have all, as he trusts,Jbeen born of God, and subsequent-baptized into Christ, and put on his govern-ment, therefore are under his administration, who is head over all things to the church.— The Triune God be praised, now and forever.

There was another incident of special inter-est, which may be aqppptable to many who read the Tennessee Baptist. Some six'^monlbs past, Mrs. Rebecca Tagg, a daughter of Taf-fy Heighten, a member of A. Fuller's church, Kettering, an old lady, aged sixty-three years, of christian deportment and appear-ance, began to attend our ministry, with whom religious conversation was held, and the doubts resting on her mind, as to present duty remov-ed, she determined to unite with the church: subsequently she come to ray hcuse to hold a last conversation before uniting with the church, and in substance, gave the following narrative:

Many years since, when I was quite young, I stood as a candidate for membership in An-drew Fuller's church, Kittering, England.— But from sickness and various other causes, I did not come before the church for direct ad-mission before my father moved elsewhere; in that condition I have continued up to the pres-ent time.

I have not been happy in living out of the church, nor do I now feel as much of the love of God as I desire. But that God who has upheld and supported me all along, from youth, and across the Atlantic ocean, and west to Ohio, and so on to this place, will never for-sake me, I can trust all to him for time and eternity. I attended the Kettering prayer-meetings, and was converted under the preach-ing of Andrew Fuller, as I hope and believe. I see no difference between you and Fuller in your preaching, except he was more Calvanis-tic than you are; but in that particular, your views I prefer to his, they are to my inind an improvement, being more scriptural. But he was a dear lovely man of God. The morning

after this conversation, with others, she was received into the christian fellowship of tbe church. The occasion was one of thrilling interest to all present; the religious feeling was deep; we wept tears of joy. I look on that church meeting as a crisis in the history of my life and ministry. To extend tbe right hand of fellowship to a convert (under God) of Andrew Fuller's, to lead her into the water, and burying her with Christ, by baptism, was a privilege, in the providence of God, probably never again to occur on earth, as it almost amounts to certainty, that this was the last convert made during the personal ministry of that great man of God, who will ever be im-mersed.

It seemed as if the great advocate of Mis-sions, the profound religious polemic, the great A. Fuller, though long dead, yet again lived in our very midst—even him, who with all bis great powers, believed in the conversion of one of h i sown children at tbe age of / c e y e a r s old. I looked around upon the citizens of the Great King, and the newly Baptized, from ten to sixty three years old, and then upon the large assembly present; the testimony was over-whelming. The emphatic law of God perva-ding human nature uttered its voice. W e felt tbe living truth that God was thers.

N - iSHVILLE, Nov. 6, IBSO. D e L i r B r e t h r e h :—Your recent meetings AT

Covington, and the very thorough detail t. busipess as given in the Banner, and especially with reference to the Bible S o c i e ^ , have ex-cited a good deal of interest here. I think I may venture tbe opinion that Tennessee Bap-tists will generally approve your course. Not, however, because we believe our Northern brethren have acted dishonestly or have mate-rially changed their views, feelings or policy toward the South, but alone from the fact that, the adoption of the resolutions will in all prob-ability, inspire confidence, and lead to more general liberality, and thus to greater good, than while they partially cooperate with tbe Amerii^n and Foreign Bible Society.

At tbe last General Association of Tennes-see and North Alabama tliere were abput two hundred delegates, and a Resolution was adop-ted, recommending to tbe Southern Baptist Biennial Convention, the organization of a Southern Bible Board. Whatever may be done with this resolution, it seems to us as eminently worthy our most favorable consider-ation, and we hope it will receive the attention of delegates previous to their meliting. And, then, too, as Tennessee is one of the centre States, would it not be well to have that Board located here? Brother Waller will probably, try to make it appear that Nashville i s ^ o t the center of tbe w^orld; but if he will just take his position here, when be makes his observations, he will doubtless come to more correct conclu-sions.

It n a s my intention to have given you a brief account of tbe business of our General Association, I, however, have not been able to get hold of tbe minutes, and can only say that the number of delegates was said to have been unusually large. Dr. C. K. Winston was elec-ted Moderator. The various reports showed an increase5f missionary effort, and increasing in-terest fn every departmeut oi Christian en-terprise.

The subject of female education and associ-ati.iLal patronage to two or three chartered in-stitutions was considered, and it was decided that tliev should be s;jatained.

Tho trustees of the Nafhyi'le UniverSly have elect! d the toil itti:i(r '^'eiiileDieu lo pro-fessorships in the MeJiCrtl Urj'iirtmerl: l ljctors J. M. Watson, M. Uu..haii i[i, C . ' K . Win-ston, W . K. Uowling, R. Jl. I'urter, and J. B. Lindsley.

WiiD such an army of learned ond talented men, success is certain, and students, instead of going to the North and East for medical education, will remain in the South, and fa-miliarize tbeinsolves wiih diseases peculiar to the sections of country in wnich they design practising.

Brother Baker is making himself singularly popular—his congregations are good and all denominations like him very much.

Brother Graves has sn affection of the thro.it, from excessive labor this summer which dis-qualifies him for any other business than that ot writing. He is putting forth another Alma-nac, which, no doubt, will create quite as great sensation among Pedobaptists as his last. How they bate and abuse him for statingffcts , and putting forth arguments, which they neith-er dare deny nor successlully meet. And wi-.ile Pedobaptist ministers are giving their reasons for becoming Baptists; and while brother Graves is referring to those traditions which make void tbe commandments of God; these Pedo editors say. Oh, if he were but respecta-ble we would do so and so; whereas every body knows they have dune all they can do.

"Old Man," whose articles you noticed some time since, is here reading his manuscript to the Methodist church for a sane man; he rea-sons much like one who might have been moon-struck; but strange to tell. Editor Mc Ferrin endorses him^ and says, "It was at tbe urgent solicitation of members of tbe church that he (old man)con3ented to present these lucid ex-positions."

Dr. J. W . K i n j has returned troin California, aud can now report upon the expediency snd importance of the publication enterprise at San Francisco, so that we may hear something more of the "Celestial Messenger," which was designed to pervade the celestial empire.

air which thin rise has caused our river men and bu-

siness men to assume, prnmisinw as it does Mme-

ihing fur them l<i do. Th " high prices which the

iiidispenaahle article* of food have ruled at must

soon give way, and all classes enjoy the benefit of

the change

Trade during the week has been rather dul l , most

of the leading articles of consumption being scarce

and high, atid bayers preferring to wait a little Ion-

ger before touching deeply. W e anticipate a con-

siderable revival in all the deparlrnents of trade be*

fore the ctuseof the en«iiing week-

COTTON- The market was dull in the early

part of the week at a decline of I ' S ^ c . from the lead-

ing pi ices nf the week previous, the lew sales made

being at 1 l^'ai I l^c: but as the week advanced pri-

ces grailually improved, ami we now quote 12eas a

bout the mniket value of all good panrels of new

crop- The receipts of the week at the warehouses

of Hdmilton, lohoson Weaver, H . T . Yeatman,

Johnson & Smith and J . A. Mc \lister & Co. amount

A. B. & n. SiKM—GnaJnar*.- I wonld not have pre. somed to write to you, if it was not my duty lo let the public know the almon mitacnlons effect your Satsapanlla has had apOB me. My limbs were coveted with ntceroui sores, so that I could not walk doiuig the whole Spriuj and Suniinet. In this situation 1 commenced the tise of your zjarsspanlta, and aAertaking two bottles wai entirely cured. I mast also tell yon of another wonderful care. My brother was afflicted with this icrofuta in his bead, so bad bis physician totd him the loss of his sight was inevitable, and permanent blindness sesmed to be h's tiue. Three bottles entirely restored tiia sifht, and we camot but r*ommend all similarly affiicted to use i^&nds' SarsapariUa.

I have no hesitation in saying your Sarsaparilla is tlie best medicine 1 ever tool^, and can confidently recommend it to my iiienua and the putjlie.

M u s u . SiKiM—Gentlemen.—1 have great pleasure in sc-knowledgins lo you the great benefit I have received from the use of your Sarsaparilla. A lubject of pulmonary disease, I made a voya;^ to Eurtn*, but while there contini.ed lo be afflicted. A few weeks alter my return, I wa, seized wiih a violent hemorrhage of the longs, and from the debility and great prosiratiou of strength that Ibllowed. wiih ilie protract ed difficulty of respiration, 1 am enlilely relieved by the use of your t^arsaiianlla, whicL I consider a most imrurtant and truly valuaole discovery in the bealmr art. 1 feet that I have not for fourteen year, ei'joyed so good health a, et present.
