9. TJie true Charchcs of Clout are Jamo-erotic and indipendeni bodies, ifembc-rs are admitted to tlieir fellowship br popular vote, npon a personal eiamination as to spiricnal fituesa. "Him that is weak in -the faith, re-ceive ye, hot not to danbtM dispntations."— All q^aestions upon the eiclusion of unworthy members, the inlera;il arrangement, and gov-ernment of the primitive churches were de-cided bv the voice of the people. "Suincient to such a man is th!.=; punishment which was inflicted of mavv," that is, according to Mc-Knight, "bv the greater number."

Churches con.^tituted upon tlie gospel pTat-form owe no iill-jgiance to any Assembly, Con-ference. or Asjocialion. Thev ackno-n'.pdge no master but Christ, no code of laws hut the

people. To bear the gospel to allaations of the earth, is the great mission of tfie chnrches of Jesus Christ; and in this disticctive and glorious work they have been engaged from the days of the Apostles down to the present time. ,.

I-haTe thus sUted some ofct ie piSiciples in-volved-in a rigfit decision of the question of church relation. If these principles be found-ed in dirine truth and right reason, no honest belierer can trample them trader foot. Prin-ciple lies at the foundation of c^rsctcr; and character lives forever. To him who ia deter-mined to, do right, and, wiiliag po.jtteetibe^ consequences of his actions in etemrty,-tt o n ^ t not to be a matter of indifference what church he joins. No. It has been truly said, "Such a spirit is a conspiracy against the throne of truth, and is the first step towards tlie complete abandonment of right sentiments." I have

Cfi-cular Letter.

B E O T H K B GaAVBi:—The following is a copy of a circular letter written by Jesse Mercer, and for which you made enquiry in your issue of November 1 Uh. Be assured of its correct-ness. as copied from the History of the Geor-gia Baptist Association;

"The Elders and brethren of the Georgia Association, to the brethren they represent greeting:

B E I O VBO w CUBIST:—From our earliest con-nection we have studiouslj selected for the subjects of our addresses ta you, those dbc-

i n a e s and dHbies- l i i ^ s e e ^ the best suited to confirm and increase your faith in Christ; to etiify and comfort your hearts, being knit together in love; and to lead you on to that light and perfection which would honor and

_ _ commend the cause in which you have em-stated that the true" churches of Jesus Christ i ""sflect the highest praise and glo-are built iipon the foundation of the Apostles and Christ,—that they are spiritual organiza-tions altogether antagonistic to the kingdoms ^f this world,—that they are composed of vi.- i-

JTcw Testameni. They are not legislative professora who have put on Christ by br.p-boJies. but eicln-sive sorereiinities. Thev are

ry of God who ha.s called you into his man el lous light. But while you have endeavored to keep yourselves unmixed with, and unspotted from the world as a chaste virgin to Christ, yoa have uicited some unpk-a?.-mtness among the religious denominations around you, because you have not found it consistent to admit them,

tism,—that they keep the ordininces as they rp-pcnsible to Chri.-t for the performance of a | delivered,—that they exalt the pure word , specified duty. That re.cponsibCity they can- of God as the standard in all tilings pertain- i as orderly and vahd not transfer br delegation to otliers. Thev. christian fjitli and duty,—that they are to oUiers. They hare no right to merge their individuality into a higher organiiatioa. It is Scriptural and proper that such churches associate for pxir-posea of mutual conference, advice, ajid co-o p r a & n ; but such associations have no leiris-lative or judicial power.

1 0 . The true churches of Christ have only ti£0 cla3ses of officert, thai is, pastors end dea-cons; and these are chosen hy the people. It ap-pears that the primitive churches had but two kinds of officers;—first, a _pastor, who had charge of the spiriloal. interests of the church; secondly, deacons, who had the management of thfi temporalities. The pastor, (which was but anotlxer name for elder, or bishop) was chosen by the people. This seems to be made clear by Acts 14: 23, "And when he had or-d-iined him elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord ou whom they believed." Tliis or-dination was evidently by the election of the people. In the sixth chapter of the Acts of the -\postJes, we have an account of the elec-tion of the first deacons. This election was unquestionably made by the members "of the church. It ia said, in substance, they were chosen by "the whole multirade of the dis ciples." '

11. The true churches of Chris! have only one grade in theehrixtian ministry. There are no "superi.ors" among the ministers of Jesus Christ. No such officers as I^TEsiding Elders, Prelates, or Archbishops can be found in the New Testament. The Scriptural titles cf Christ's ministers. Elder, and Bi-hop, (or pas-tot,) are used synonymottsiy for the same of-fice. All who fill this office tire required to possess the same qualifications, and to perform the same duties; and are equal in grade and honor. Thev have no right to appviai tiny higher order in the ministry, or to sulmz! to it, when appointed or assumed by others.

So fur from giving any authority for such distinctions in the ministry, Christ mo^t per-emptorily prohibits i t "Be not ye called Rab-bi, for one is your master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren."

12 The true churrhes ef Christ exercise-dis-cipline hj the mice of the membership. Christ taught hi» disciples in regard to the case of a perwnal offender who would not be reconciled to his aggrieved brother, "tell it to the church, and if he hear not the church, let him be unto thee as a heathen man, and a publican." Malt. 28: 17. Paul writing unto the church of God, which is at Corinth, *'!o theia that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints," requires them most positively to "put away from among yourselves that wicked person." I Cor. 5r 13. To the church at Thessalonica tha same Apostle writes, "Now we ccmmand yon brethren in the name of onr Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdrawyoursehes fm^i every brother that walketh disorderly." Tli^ inces-tuous persoii at Corinth -was first expelled, then restored to fellowship by the same chtrrch. See 1 Cor. 5: 1-5, and 2 Cor. 2: 8, G-8.

13. The true churches of Jesits Chrht "con tinae stcdfastly in the Apostles' doctrine." I t is of the highest importance ohat a man's doc-trines be right, otherwise his actions will be wrong. How strongly does the Apostle ad-monish the churches against false teachers? What anathemas did Paul pronounce npon them that "prcach another gospel?" With what earnestness does he exhort Timothy to "speak the things which become sound doc-trine'*" Again he says, "I beseech you breth-ren to mark them which cause divisions and

-offences, contrary to the doctrine wluch you have learned, and avoid them." Therefore, let no true believer enter any fold that holds Cilse doctrine. If so, he will give the whde weight of his influence against the doctrine of Christ. Rather let Mm "buy the truth'and sell it n o t "

The true churches of modem times base their claima to evangelical character upon their identity ia doctrine andpractice with the primi tive churches. They continue in those doc-trines, unswerved by public opinion or human prejudice. "To the law and to the testiinony" ia their fT"«l appeal in all matters of^faith and

14- Tht true eiureitx i^. Jessis Christ are aeiiadff engaged ta 'Ka£ng the-: gospel Ja the Ba-tioBt.f^. the tartk. .

cunstirated upon the voluntary principl<»,— that they maintain hberty of conscience in all matters of duty to God,—that they are willing to suffer persecution and reproach for Christ's sake,—that they are purely democratic and in-dependent bodies,—that they have only two classes of officers, that is, pastors and deacons, and these are chosen by the people,—that they have only one grade in the ministry,—that they exercise discipline by the voice of the

•people,—that they hold stedfast by the Apo.s-tle's doctrine,—and that they are actively era-ployed in sending the gospel to the nations of the earth.

With these principles for a touch-stone and a test, let all the christian denominations bo brought up and tried. The first thing that strikes us in the examination, is the fact that the most important of the principles above mentioned, that which involves the essential character of the materials has been discarded by all the christians denominations except the churches called in oar day iaptist. I allude to the eiemeat of believer's baptism. If churches be defective in the essential materials of construction, they forfeit all claim to divine authority, and all pledge of stability and holi-ness. A defect in the constituent materials of a church, will entail weakness and decay throughout the wio le body. If others than baptized believers may become members of a churcij. then it will cease to be a spiritual body, and to that extent becomes l ite unto the king-doms of this world. If unthinking babes may become members of a church, then it will cease to become sdf-govemed and independent. If a religious body, composed of others than b^gdzed believers, may be recognized as a proper christian church, then will the Bible be repudiated as the standard of faith, and the whole fabric will rest upon the sands of tra-dition.

This is not a question of mere water bap-tism. Very far from i t In maintaining the distinguishing feature of believer's baptism, we at the same time maintain other great fun-damental principles, such as the pure Bible, the only infallible standard of faith,—the Apos-tolic model of church government,—^the un-corrupted ordinances ef the gospel,—the troe spirituality of the kingdom of Chri.st,—and unqualified obedience to God, as a test of christian character. Surely, if "believer's baptism" cannot be a matter of indifference, if all these fundamental elements follow in its train!

If this principle be sustained by the word of God, and that beyond all doubt, (as we contend is the case,) then the honest enquirer after the path of duty need not hesitate one moment. The way is so plain "that he that runneth may read."' To join any leligioas so-ciety that renoimces and discards these princi-ples, will be an insult to truth, and treason to a pure Christianity. He that joins any pedo-baptistdenomination, willgive tlie whole weight of his influence to one af the most direful evils that ever fell upon the christian world. No matter how great the piety, the zeal, the learning, or the talent with which Pedotjap-tism has allied itself, it is evil Btill, and only evil. The above elements of power do but augment that evil. This fact makes it more obligatory upon the lovers of Jesus to dis-cotmtenance it by their example. By such al-liance with error, all attemps to da good will be vitiated and nullified. Yea, the evil may greatly overbalance the good. Nor will the mischief in that case cease with life, but will swell on. like a dark tide after death. Then let the .believer who is seeking after the true churches of Christ withhold all countenance from those, religious societies which falsify the doctrines of the gospel and pervert its ordi-nances.

In conclusion, if the believers, for whose benefit these articles have b«ea written, really love the Saviour, and deisire to do his will; if they would promote their own happiness, en-h ^ c e the best interests of mankind, and mag-nify the glory of Christ, let them join those churches whic i hold and practice the above enumerated principles. Then the whole weight of their influence will be given to "the truth as it is in Jesua," and to t t e advancement of

We therefore propose as the subject of this letter, the reasons, briefly, which lead us t j deem I'eduhapiisi administrations though in the prop er mode, invalid. That this subject may be a^ clear as our epistolary limits will admit, we propo e to lay down a few Scriptural propo-sitions, whose legitimate infi^rences will, we trust, bring into, though a concise, yet suffici tntly clear view, the reasons in question.

1. The Apostohc church continued throvgh all off&s to the trid of Lite world, it the only true gospel church.

The truth of this proposition is not only fre-quently iciimatej, bu: strongly affirmed by tlic prophets. They speak of a glorious state of religious affairs to take place on the coming of the Messiah, which, they say, shall continue or endure as the sun or days of heaven Psalms 8-J: 29, :-6. 37. Sliall never be cut off. Isii. 65: 14. And shall stand forever. Dao. 2: 44. Chris; affirms nothing shall pre-vail against his church, no, no: tbe gates oi hell. Matt. 14: 18. But John puts this point b«yond ail contradiction in his prophetic his-tory of the church, in which, though he admits of various outward modifications, maintaius an uninterrupted succcssion from the Apostolic age till the world sliall ttid.

2. Of this church, i hrist ts the orjy head and true source of all ecdtsiastical authority.

Although the Scriptures are illumined by this truth, yet it may not be impettinent to cite a few passages in point. To me, says Christ, is authoriiy given. John 5: 22-27. And knowing the love of power, and the strong propensity to rule, in the human heart, he fre-quently and emphatically declares himself to his Apostles to be their only Lord and Master Matt 23: 8, 10. The Apostles concur in as-cribing this honor to him; and transmit it to all after .ages of the church. Acts 2: Jti; Eph. I: 22, and b'. 23; Col. 2: 10. But the com-mission of the Apostles, the matter, manner, and majesty of which are enough to make a saint triumph, an angel rejoice, and a devil tremble, caps the whole. Matt 28: 18, 19.

3. Qospel ministers are servai/s in the church, are all exual, and have no power to lord it over the heritage of their Lord.

By the example of a little child in the midst, and the exercise of dominion over the Gentiles by their princes, our Lord teaches humility, and denies to his Apostles the exercise of lord-ship over his churclr. Matt. 18: 2, 6-20 , 25. 46. He calls them breihreTt, and directs that they should not be called f?iaiier«, but servants. Matt 22: 8, 11. The Acts and Epistles of the Apostles show their observance of their Lord's commands. Here we see them the Messengers and Servants of the churches, which proves the power to be in the churches and not in them. Acts 6: 5; 15: 4; 22: 2. Cor. 8: 23. Phil. 2: 25. 2 Cor. 4: 6. Timothy is in-structed how to behave himself in the church, which is the pillar and ground of the truth; but if the power had been constituted in him, the advice should have been given the church, that she might have known how to beha\T; her-self in the preser.ce of her bishop. 1 Tim. 3: 15, compared with Matt. 18: 17.

4. All things are to he doni in faith according to [he gospel pattfm.

Faith is made cajiital in the Scriptures, and the want of it .equals unbelief. The house of Israel is often complained of for the lack of it; tbe Apostles are admonished to have it, and upbraided for their unbelief Deut. 32: 22. Mark 11: 22; 16: 14. The Apostles and Paul declares without it it is impossible to please God, and that he that doubts of what he does is damned in doing it, because he acts without faith. 1 Cor. 4: 13. Heb. 11: G. Romans 14: 23.

From these propo.sitions thus estiibKshed, we draw the following inferences, as clear and cer-tain truths:

1. That all churches and ministers, who originated since the Apostles, and not succes-sively to them, are not in gospel order, and therefore cannot be acknowledged as such.

2. That all, who have been ordained to the work of the ministry without the knowledge and call of the church, by popes, councils, &c., are the creataros of those who constituted theip, and not the servMts of Christ, or his church, and therefore have no right to admin-ister for theio^^

3. That these wha have set aside the di»-dpline of the gospel, and" given law to and ex-ercised d o i ^ i o n over the church, are:usurpers, over the place and office of Christ,, are against liinj^^an^therefore may. }w|i-l))^jwc«pted their offices.

4. That they, who administer cwtrary to

adminBter for God, since •witbci^';'tjje gospel faith he has nothing to minister,' i i 'd without their own he accepts no service; 'Qwrefbre the administrations of such are nnwamntable im-positions anyway. " . "

Our reasons, therefore, for rejecting baptim by immersion when administered by Pedobsp-tist ministers,

1. That they are connlcted with churches clearly otR of the apostolic snccesaon, and therefore clearly out of the a p o s t l e commis-sion. -

2. That they have derivW tieai authority, by ordination, from llie J ^ ^ p s of E S n e T w from Individuals who h a i V ^ l e n it on them-selves to give it.

3. That they hold a higher rank in the churches than the Apostles did, are not ac-countable to, and of consequence not triable by, the church, but are amenable only to or among themselves.

4. That they all, as we think, administer contrary to the pattern of the gospel, and some, when occasion requires, will act contrary to their own professed faith. Now as we know of none implioited in this case, but are in some or all of the above, defects, either of which we deem sufficient (o disqualify for meet gos-pel administration, therefore we hold their ad-ministrations invalid.

But if it should bs said that the Apostolic suci^ssion cannot be ascertained, and then it is proper to act without it, we say that the loss of the sncces.sion can never prove it futile, nor justify any one out of i t The Pedobaptists. by their own histories, admit they are not of it; but we do not^aiii. shall think ourselves en-titled to the claim, until the reverse be clearly shown. And should any think authority de-rived from the Mother of HirloU, sufficient to qualify to administer a gospel ordinance, they will be so charitable as not to condemn u=i for preferring that derived from Chri. l. And should any still more absurdly plead that or-dination, received from an individual, is suffi-cient, we leave them to shew what is the use of ordination, and why it exists. If any think an adrainiitration will suffice which has no pattern in the gospel; they will suffer us to act according to the divine order with impunity. jVnd if it should be said that faiih in the sub-jiwt is all that is necessary, we b?g leave to require it where the scriptures do, that is every where. But w-e must close: we beseech you, brethren, while you hold.fast the form of your profession, be ready to unite with those from whom you differ, as far as the principles of truth will justify. And while you fiimly op-pose that shadowy union, so oflea urged, be instant in prayer and exert yourselves to bring about that which is in heart, and after godli-ness. Which the Lord hasten in its season. Amen and Amen.

For the Tennewee Daptiet. BRO. GRAVES:—It has been my custom, as

I passed along through life, to observe care-fully circumstances and events. In so doing, I have as it were picked up much that I can profit by in future life. And yet almost every day transacts something new. Something that my note-book furnishes no notes for—some-thing imprecedented among the aDairs of men and even unauthorized hy God himself, at least so far as the knowledge of your very unwor-thy writer extends.

Several weeks sincc, your writer was in at-tendance upon a meeting, the objec t of which was the constitution of a church. Two out of three of the Presbytors invi'ed were present One of them preached, after which they pro-ceeded to organize themselves into a Presby-tery, by choosing one of their number chair-man, and a disinterested lay brother present, Secretary. Now I do not say there is anything criminal in this, but it is common, at least, for a body to select one of their own members as Secretory. They then proceeded to call for letters of dismission—to read and note the names of the bearers. When three certifi catf-s of baptism appeared—were read as let-ters—tre:i!e J in every way as such, recognis-ing the individua's as full church members, when in reality they never had been members of any church. Was this right? Are certifi-cates of baptism equal to letters of dismis-sion? Or should they not have remained with their certificates until tlie church was organ-ized and fully empowered to judge of their qualifications for church membership. Next, the Presbytery proceeded to read the abstract of faith of the Association in whose bounds they were being cwistituted, requiring thera to adopt it as their own, and every one to vote for it or withdraw from the constitution. W as this right? Was it not a stretch of ministerial power and authority? Where is the scriptu-ral authority, precedent or example for any such proceedure in the organization of a church? Would it not be far more preferable to require them to read, believe and practice God's holy word, and then, when a chnrch competent to act, let them choose or make their own abstract of faith, if indeed it is ab-solutely necessary for a church to have an ab-stract or articles of Faith.

For the TenaeafleeCaptlst. A Reply to lu l i - lQoal Baptist.

B B O T H E H QB-WES:—You will confer a favor upon your friend by giving hfm space in your excellent paper, to correct some misrepresen-tations, and also to answer some objections nrg(fd aeainst the new enterprise—a paper in East Tennessee. Bro. "Anti-Local Baptist" has questioned the propriety of such an enter-prise, and wishes to know who originated the idea, or the ejes that saw the necessity of an-other paper in Tennessee. If this brother was at the Tennessee Association he knows who in-troduced it into the Association. ^ If not th<;r<i, why does he tc^ us what Bra. Berry said? If some person told, him what Bro. Berry said, why did not his irformant tell him who in-troduced the measure before the Association, and that the .whole Association was in favor of the measure? If facts had been stated, the j county, Ala.,.as agent of the B innocent would not have been implicaU^d, and uo Mi:,sions of the Southern Bai

to have" read those articles, they ^ ' n b t pro-dijce tt'e effect that ihey Vould feave done if more had read them in ^East Te6ses.siBe.

Again, if we wish our benevdleat iiaslitn-tiona to prosper in East Tcansssle, we i n i ^ have a paper to stir up Baptists, lo get th«n to engage in works of bsnevolenffl. All that is-neceE.-ar3- for East Tennessee Bkpdsts is, to prove to them the importance of t fc work, and they are ready and willing to p e r f f e it. They have the means aiid the spirit to»D the work. Then'let u. rally to the work, a ^ show that wc can and will work, and dowoi'^ . And that we will work up la good paper in Jast Tennes-see, x ^ l j i a i i a w . s s t ^ ^ work, Bro Anti-local BajifisT? i f so, you shall have your reward. C. C. T I P P O N .

guilty go free- The writer either offered the resolution or was second to it, and therebv it was presented to the Association.

The Tennessee Association unanimously a-dopted the resolution. Also the General As-sociation of East Tennessee passed, ( t s the writer is told,) a resolution purportin^j the same. But the General and Tennessee As -o-ciations combined could not underst/and vthat would be necessary for East Tennessee Bap-tists to do, as well as Anti-Local Bapii^i; and he, as it seems, wished to dicLats for ibe East Tennessee Baptists, This goo J brollier, in or-der to implicate Bro. Hill.-iman, says: "But does not our proposed Editor, Bro. Hillsnian, stand among the Stated Contributors to the Tennessee Baptist?" Again he says, "He certainly would be allowed his proportiLinable space, and yet wc do not recollect seeing any thing from his pen, al-Jiough from present de-velopments We suppose he is reserving his matter for his o»n p.tper."

He is certainly a great writer. [ii one sen-tence he declares one thing, and in another he contradicts it. In one sentence he tells us that "Hillsman is a stated contribuior," and in an-other he says ' he don't recol'ect seeing any thing from hi? pen." Such logic is too won-derful for me. Bat our brother understands himself; for he is a man of great intelk-ciual powers; he can see a war now between the Tennessee Baptist and the Baptist Watch Tian. For North Carolina has three papers, and thc-y are in a war with each other. And should Tennessee have two, of course thev ".i i de-vour each other. For if three coulJ not live in peace in one State, how can two live in one State without destructions

Will the brother tell us which it was,'th? pa-pers produced the wnr or the war ihe-papers? The war produced the papers, no doabt, in order to carry the war through. But this state of things does not exist in Tennessee. We are of one mind and speak the same thing on the most of subjects. Then wc believe the doctrine advocated by Bro. Gra\ es. W l l Bro. Graves change his sentiments in ordeftohave a conflict with Bro. Hillsman? We think not Will Bro. Hillsman, who has ever been the friend of Bro. Graves ind the Triines-ee Rap-tist, change to get a var ^\ith Lii oM friend? Surely not. There is no probability of a war between tlie two papers; a. loa. t, no nece--s-ay for any such thing. But there i:i need for a piper in East Tennc-see, tlir:)tigh which to ad-vocate our cauM .

But "Anti Local Bsptist" r.oiid have us believe that all who advocalee the new paper were enemies lo the Tennessee Baptist. If ac tions be allowed lo speak, we would venture to say that some who are iu favor of the ii.-w paper have done as much for tbe Tennessee Bap;ist, and have paid up as well a^ "Anti-Local" has. Tlien, when this brother wishes to be dictator for East Tennessee KapUsts, let him make the n-'cessary distinction betueen those who pay and those w'no do not. Anti Local sajs, what will be ^niined by the new paper scheme? Will we have more reading matter and better writeis, i c ?

We answer ye"; if we lake boUi papers, we will have more reading matter, of cjursc. If we take both papers, wc will have all the writ-ers in the Tennessee Baptist, "Anti.Local" not excepted, and B.'o. Hlllsman's reserved '•matter," too. Then you see the gain wiil be considerable. And could we prevail on cur good brother to write some for the Baptist Watchman; its pag- s wouM be greatly enrich-ed by his fine logic and towering eloquence.— But to the point in question.

Who introduced this new paper scheme?— You were told that the writer either offered the resolution or was the second to it, and the Ten-nessee Asgociauon passed it, and appointed Brothers Moses, Walker and Smith to issue a prospectus, which they did, and not Bro. Hills-man. If, then, any body is to be htmg for this mischief, hang the writer, or the Tennes-see, or General Association, or all together.— Do not have Mordicai hung on ihe gallows which Haman erected. But is there any ne-cessity for the new paper? We answer, yes; for there are a multiplicity of Baptists in E«sl Tcnneasee who will take the new paper, who could not be prevailed npon to take the Ten. hessee Baptist If, then, we wish the Baptists to be intelligent in East Tennessex, they must read. If we wi>h them lo read, let-us have a paper that they will take.

Again, if Bro. Anu-Local Bapti< t had been assaded as some ministers have been in East Tennessee, who were the only means of de-fence, and that through spmej,poii6ical paper or Railroad journal, he would not.have so ma-n y objections to o^.^having a paper in East Tennessee- , n a y he asked, can we not ^ a k e a d e ^ c e thrqugh the "Tennessee Bap-tist? Some have tried this, but owing to the consideration that so few persws read the pa-

' 1. An intanote acquaintance wilk the icord of Qod. I gnonmce is not the ma t t e r of d e r o -non.

God is not accustomed to sanct ify igno-rance. The Bible ia the store house of knowl-edge- I t is the source whence we der ive re -ligious instruction. T h e r e we learn t he will of God. How likely sSall we b e to ac t in op-position to tha t will if we do no t know i t l - W e ihail be "car r ied abou t with d ive r s a n d s t r ange

doctr ines" unless w e a re wel l acqua in ted with the word of God. Inte l l igent pie ty is one of the first requisi tes t o chr is t i in^nsefulness . I f this is t r u e , we are a t no losa in u n d e r s t a n d i n g why so maj iy m e m b t r s of t he churches a re so inefficient. T h e y d a comparat ively no th ing . They are only partiiilly acqua in ted wi th the holy Scr iptures . T h e i r piety, wha tever o ther features i t m a y possess, is not. conjoined with intelligHEce. I g n o r a n c e is in the way of its successful operat ion. ' ' T h a t t he soul be with-ou t knowledge Ls no t g o o d . "

2 . Zeal for the glory of God. Th i s sacred emotion should animrvte eve ry chr is t ian hea r t . I t should pus all the mach ine ry of the soul in motion. I t m o s t be sea l for the divine g lory . Zeal for any o ther object will contaminate ou r per formances ; for i t will preclude pur i ty o i motive. T h i s zeal mus t be a rden t , so a s to be undiminiahed b y diJaculties and obstacles It mus t be unt i r ing, so a s to hold on its way, hoping agains t hope, for the Rccomplishment of its object . T h e christ ian will never do much in the cause of God without zeal. H e will faint a n d tire unless a sacred enthusiasm im-parts impulsive influences. These influences must be s teady . The christ ian who acts un-de r them will probably be r ega rded by the s-orld as beside h imsel f Auspicious to the interests of Zion will be the d a y when the world shall consider christ ians deranged on aecoant of the i r absorb ing solicitude for the ;jIory of God. T h e apostles and first chris-ti ins were loc'fced npon by their enemies as beref t of reason. Zeal should bo according to knowledge; an<i i t will b s acrord ing to knowl-eiir& if there is a a in t imate acqu:i!ntance with the word of God.

I ment ioned in a, fo rmer communica t ion to y o u about the loss of the Bapt i s t Church in this p lace , and the d i sadvan tages unde r which o u r b r e t h r e n labored , a n d also g a v e a shor t outline about our new C h u r c h edifice, and its idedication.

S d e r Lewis S h u c k came he re , as you know, a s Missionary to t h e ' Chinese, j t o t as E lder 0 . C. W h e e l e r r e a g n e d his M S t b n d c h a r g e t o go to the At lan t ic Sta tes to labor for the cause of God in beha l f of Cal i fornia .

T h e C h u r c h h a d m a d e a call on several b re th ren in the Eas t e rn S ta tes to remove here and m a k e the i r h o m e a m o n g U s . Whi l e we were w a i d n g thei r answer , w e called Brother S h u c k to t he pastoral supply of the Church . He accepted the call unt i l the bre thren could come f rom the Eas t , <fec. His labors have been wonder fu l ly blessed a m o n g us for the short t ime be has been here . W h e n he took cl ia tge of the church w e h a d no regular place of meet ing, no church edifice, no Sabbath schools—brethren and sisters cold and dis-hear tened ; but we have now a new er» of things, a good house, la rge congregat ions , bre thren and sisters w a r m and zealous, much encouraged, a good Sabba th school, and the best of all, m a n y a re anxiously enqui r ing tiio way to the Saviour. A goodly n u m b e r al-ready h a v e founil h im precious to the i r souls, a n d have come oa t on t he L o r d ' s side, a n d taken the -oa th of al legiance to the K i n g in Zion, and we expect soon m a n y more . Abou t thirty addit ions h a v e been m a d e to our n u m b e r since he commenced his labors amon^rst u.^, bv o ' . letter and bap t i sm—eigh t of this n u m b e r by bapt ism, and more th.it h a v e found the .Sa-viour precious to their souls, soon expect to join the family tha t is on their m a r c h to

.Heaven . Bro. Shuck h a s also continued his efforts a-

raengst the Chinese, and has now purchR.'sed 1 lot a ; an eligible point in this city to build a Chinese Ch ipe l , which h e will soon commence, and ere long will have a s ta tely place to preach regular ly to them. Bro. S . ha s j u s t finished a series of six lectures on China and the Chi nose. T h e lectures h a v e been well a t tended, the iiouse was filled to overflowing, and very m a n y could not find seats and h a d to return..

- Since I wrote you last , there have been three -brethren ordained to the work of t he gospel .^minisiiy in this Sla te , one of t h e m a member ^ f this cEurch, a n d the o ther two of San J o i a

Church , a n d several o ther bre thren have been licensed to preach the gospel.

O a r newly s tar ted Baptist paper , we hope, will be sustained, yet we wiU have to make a s t ruggle a t first on that subject . May God en-able us to be more awakened to our du ty in this enterprise, tha t will be so beneficial to our denomination in this State .

I see several tha t speak in the highest te rms of the Tennessee Baptist . I think if you had an agen t or two in California, it might be wide-ly circulated here .

W e have h a d a very interesting meet ing go-ing on for several days in this city, and will continue -several days longer. W e hope tha t grea t good will resul t f rom it.

W e had an enquir ing mee t ing th is evening, a t the hoar appointed. T h e r e were m a n y a t -tended who were anxiously inquir ing for t he Saviour. This was the first meet ing of the kind tha t I h a v e ever h e a r d of in California.

My dea r bro ther , I can assure you tha t a revival of religion in this country is a ra re thing, and t ha t which our souls h a v e longed for, yea , some of ua h a v e p rayed for, with g rea t anxiety .

The re are m a n y of our b re th ren in this State tha t have done like Pe t e r , followed the Lord a f a r off, and like h im denied the Saviour, and b rough t reproach upon themselves and the catfee of God. Bu t there a re some tha t a r e fa i thful to their t rust , both in the ministry and lai ty. M a y the L o r d give u s all the grace tha t will keep u s h u m b l e a n d make u s fai thful servants in our s tewardship, tha t we m a y be enabled to win m a n y souls to Christ .

I sent you a gopy of our Associational min-utes las t J u n e . Our Conventional minutes have no t ye t been pr in ted , b u t as soon as they are, I will send yon a copy.

T h e interests of ou r denominat ion calls a-loud upon ou r ministering bre th ren in the A t -lantic States to come over to the he lp of the Lord against the migh ty on these Pacif ic shores . This is an invit ing field to work for the Lord . Cannot some of you, b re th ren , come? Those of y o u t h a t m a y b e a lmos t idle where you are , because of the g r e a t n u m b e r of ministers in y o u r bounds . I n some places you ha rd ly have room to work where you a r e ; b u t he re is room, yes , room for all t h a t will work in t h e catise of our Mas te r . T h e r e a r e u p w a r d s of 300 ,000 Boola in this S ta te , a n d not more than twen ty ministers in t he Bapt i s t cause , p robab ly no t t h a t m a n y w h o a re &i th fn l t o the i r cal l ing.— There a re m a n y l a r g e towns a n d cities wi th-out a Bapt is t minister within reach of t hem.

Come, bre thren , weigh this sub jec t ca re fu l -ly a n d prayerfi iHy. M u s t these people live •without a minister to ins t inc t them about t he w a y of salvat ion? ^ O h Lord , he lp in this t ime of need ; p u t i t in t he hear t s of t h y se r r aS t s to come to this g r e a t dest i tut ion. i'- D e a r bro ther , -pra j r for t h e cause of Zion in iihi» p a r t of t h e v ineya rd of o a r God. * Y o u r s , i a gospe l b o a d s , 4 f D a k u l Knr&.

I n a work recently re-publ ished by OfcScrib-ner , f rom the Engl ish edi t ion, entit led "L i f e and Epis t les of St. P a u l , by Kev. W . J . Con-n y b w e and Rev. J . S. I l o w s o n , " both minis-ters of the Episcopal C h m x h . w e find the fol-lowing. See Vol . I , p a g e 439:

ilt is needless ^ j i ^dr t h a t ^ p t i s m was, ( i i n k s s in exceptional cases , ] adminis tered by immersion, the convert be in^ p lunged benea th the sur face of the water , to represent his dea th to the life of sin, and t h e a raised from this momentary burial to represent his resurrect ion to the life of righteousness. It mus t be a subject of regret tha t the genera l discontinu-ance of this original form of bapt i sm ( though perhaps neces^sary in our Nor the rn c l ima tcs , ) has rendered obscure to popular apprehension some very important pis.<ages of Sc r ip tu re . "

The same authors ia a nute respect ing the 4lL verse of Romans , fkh chapte r , say:

" T h i s passage cannot be unders tood unless it be borne m mind Uiat the primiiivc bapt i sm was by immers ion . "

They translaU; the fuur ih vcr.se thu.-i: "Wi l l i Him therefore we were buried by the bapt i sm wherein we .shared His dea th (when wi- sank beneath the waters ; and were raised from un-d ^ r t b e m ) tha t even as Ciiii.-: was rai.Sfd up f rom the do.id by the glory of the Fa the r , so we likewise might walk in newness of l i f e .

the Ju ly n u m b e r of the London Quar -terly Review, page 27, of Leonard Scot t ' s re-print , we have the following s ta tement :

"There can be no /juestion that the origirud form cf baptii-m,—the very meaning rf the word —jeas con'plcte iniviersion in the deep hapthimxl walers; and that for at least f.ur centuries any other form, icas either unknown, c-r regarded as an ^ceplional, alirust a m :r.'lrijiis cusf."

Ubotues Cami'IIell:—We r.re es l ior ted >iy an Apostle, to contend "E-irncstly for tlie fi<ith once delivered unto the saint '! ." In doing thi i . Christ ians should be very ca re fu l , and critically examine the Holy Scriptures, to as-certain what tha t faith i ' , of which the Apos-tle spake. The Flint River Association has been busily t n g i g e d , for the last two or three years, in the enactment of law?, and the inflic-tion of penalties, to enforce due aud fai thful observance of human manufac tured fai th and practice in tha t body; overs tepping and sett ing ar defiance, the au thor i ' y of the Scriptures , their own organization or constitution and de-corum, as well the published opinions of many dist inguished Bapt is t minisiers, whose ortho-doxy I have never heard d o u b t f d , in the Fl int River Association.

'•ouVcditor, for ca i r f id ly w l ^ c a i t s e e Southing m" Bro: Grave ' s remarks tha t ehould elicit a sin-gle r e m a r k f r ^ any one.

W e know not w h a t e l s e ' he could h a v e said and spoken candidly. Vfa a lmos t fear t ha t Bro. Moses is sl ightly afflicted with tha t defec--tive vision refer red to by "An t i - l ooa l , " for surely h e has fluttfreU wi thout being even a imed a t by Bro. G. AJld as for " A n t i - l o c a l , " we leave him wi th his ' T i b i q u i t y " to answer for himself. M.

Mr. E d i t o r : — M y attention h a s been c a l l e i . to your pape r of the 1 I t h in s t . , containing two art icles in reference t o the proposed publication of the " B a p t i s t W a t c h m a n " in Knoxville; and, a l though I am not one of the "S fe t ed Con-t r ibu to r s " to the colunins of the " B a p t i s t , " I think I have a r ight to claim space therein for a special contribution.

T h e reason w h y such a claim belongs par-ticulifrly to me will be obvious upon the state-ment tha t I am not only the au thor of the prospectus which you and your correspondent have t hough t proper to assail, b u t a m , and for several yea r s have been, an ea rnes t advocate of the object of which it is the design of tha t prospectus to aid in the accompl ishment .

I t docs not en te r into m y porpose. or desire to U8e,harali._jit u n W o m i n g l a n g u a g e towards any m a n — a n d especially m y b r e t h r e n — m e m -bera of the denominat ion with which I have long been connected, and which f rom my child-hood I have been t a u g h t to respect and es teem; b u t I mus t be permi t ted to say tha t the articles re fe r red to seem to be uncandid and dis ingenu ous. Of the ac lual motive which prompted them, it is not for me to j u d g e ; bu t it is my privilege to commcnt on the tone and bear ing, and to take issue with them where they take issue with fact .

In the first sentence of your editorial , you speak of the prospectus of the " W a t c h m a n " as one " i s sued by Brother I l i l l aman . " How it was possible for you to reach such a con-clusion it is difficult to conceive. T h e only s ignatures aUached to the prospectus are those of Bros. Walke r and Smi th and myself , ( the commit tee appointed by the Tenne.s.see A.sso-ciation to prepare nnd publish i t . ) and Bro. Hil lsman nei ther saw it nor new iUs conl<rnt.s until it c ame from the h a n d s of the pr inter . Surely, Bro H . mus t first have lost a large share of tha t character is t ic nnxiestv for which his acquain tances have a lways given him credit , before lie could have used or caused another to u.se .sujh l anguage as U embraced in the following ext rac t :

" T h e paper will be under the editorial su-pervision of Rev. M. Hil lsmiin; and we are confident tha t a sufficient g u a r a n t y is thus af-forded t h s t its m a n a g e m e n t will be c h a r a c u r i z t d by ability, zeal and a ckrisi ian spi r i t . "

Of hi« expectation on thnt j-oiit I h a v e no informKtion. but I know of no gLnni reason why you and every o ther true Baptist should not hail its appcarancc with joy. If. as men of large experience and .sound j u d g ment confidently trust , the enterprise r an be .sustained, and ii", as no one ough t to suffer himself t o d o u b t , the " W a t c h m a n " shall prov? a fai thful sentinel upon the walls of our Zion, then we expect every friend of t ru th to take otir b ro ther byltlie h a n d and bid h im God speed in his labor of love.

The hope that the i rovement "oraens no ill fueling t o w a r d s " you, may , 1 think, wi:h pro-priety remain undispelled I t is exceedingly quest ionable whether ihe thought ever entered the mind of an East Tennessee Baptist that there would be any necessity or occasion for strife be tween you r paper and the " W a t c h -m a n , " until your correspondent and vourself made the suggest ion; and we cannot even now see w h y the step we propose to take should prevent us from being "un i t ed in one a r m y , an imated by the same spirit and laboring to . ge the r for one e n d . " I t is certain tha t there can be no strife without a beginning; and we do not intend 'JO begin it.

W h e t h e r , as you suggest , " E a s t Tennessee can be t te r suppor t a separa te College than a separa te p a p e r , " or not, is a question tha t has not y e t been much agi ta ted on this side of the mounta ins . T h e paper and a College a re r o t necessarily connected, and I th ink the fr iends of Union Universi ty m a y be assured tha t they need not be de ter red f rom giving their n a m e s and thei r influence to the " W a t c h m a n " by any apprehension tha t it will, for the presen t a t least, advocate the es tab l i shment of a rival in-sti tution. W h e n the time shall be ripe for a Bapt is t College in E a s t Tennessee , our pape r will of course announce the fact , a n d we shall then look for substant ial aid f rom our Mur -freesboro fr iends, and the f r iends of educat ion t h roughou t t he S ta te .

Y o u r correspondent is more than "ant i - lo-ca l . " H e is, in m y opinion, endowed with ubigui ty , and can be in his Eas t Tennessee home and the city of Nashvil le at one and the same t ime. N o t rue Eas t Tennessee Baptis t , ( I m e a n no one who lives in Eas t Tennessee , ) could enter ta in the sent iment tha t " t h e spirit tha t is ge t t ing u p this new measure , mus t u rge the necf ssity of opposition, and wiU p lunge us into strife and d i sg race .

For the T«Bn<.«sfe Il.ij :i(-t Bbotuek Gravbs:—I' h a v e been requested

to communica te to you the issue of a series ol meet ings , held tet in Livingston, seven ra!!e> 9outh-ea.st of this place, and followed up with one held by the Mound Bluff Bapti.st Church heJe . ^ " ^

Rev . B. F. ThGm.a.s pastor of the Canton Church , and Kov. J . T . F reeman , pa tor of the Mound Bluff Church , commenced in I j v -ingston on t h t ^ f t h L o r d ' s day in October uli., a n d cont inued p reach ing morn ing and e \ e n i n g some four teen days . A t the close. Brother T h o m a s immersed seven teen—there were though t to have been so.-ne twenty cor.versioiis. Three or four h a v e sii.ce joined the i l e t h o dist, (one of their<iocal preachers gave me this in fo rmat ion , ) who h a v e had"an organized society there for several years . The Baptist h a s no meei ing-house n o r a n y organized church there as y e t — b u t will have one now, ;is the addi t ional s t rength b rough t in dur ing this meet ing h a s so m u c h s t reng thened tho breth-ren l ivingjin its vicinity, a s to enable t b e m to build a finfe church house. The subjcr ip t ion list was headed by a gen t l eman planter witli five hundred dollars. They have a l ready nea r ly enough pledged. Three of our churches being present with the i r pastors , it was con eluded to crive the candida tes choice of ei ther

^ o church , into the fellowship of wiiich, when baptised, they should belong, they present ing themselves to those chu rches for fuil m e m b e r ship af ter bapt ism, which several has a l ready done in our church , the others will iittach themselves to New Hope and Canton, our churches being the neares t and most conven-ient to Livingston, and the trio having mem bers living in and about Livingston. The ef-forts of the brethren in the pulpit was evan-^relical in its fu l i t s t and hi!>::est sen.=;f—for o o which they were well ijualitied, and proved more effectual than any of the most s.anguinc could have ejq>ect<.d. But who can make cal-culations for the Lo.'d, when boih ministers and bre thren " c o m e up to the l.elp of the Lord agains t the m i g h t y . " The Methodist circuit rider kindly tendered the use of their house of worship for the occasion—which is a very neai and comfortable house .

The anxious seat of p raye r was soon fu l l—and ph", such fervency and wrestl ing in p raye r to God by both minister and bre thren are bu t too sel-dom hea rd .

R e s u l t s . — D u r i n g the meet ing m a n y were converted and joined the church , with several who h a d lived for a long .time out of the dis-charge of their du ty to their Saviour , but be-came so h u m b l e d a t last as to claim bapt ism of the church , willing to p u t on Chris t before the world, by being b u r n e d benea th tbe yield-ing waters , and to rise aga in to newness of life, in humble imitation of the glorious dea th , burial and reserrection of o n - blessed Redeem-er. T h e y h a v e now no troubles of conscience abou t the i r non-performance of this Holy Or-dinance; they know tha t they have been bap-tised—no doubts ever remain a f te r one h a s been d ipped—ko—al l agree this is bapt i sm, except a few who have to a s sume despera te g rounds in order to qua lm an upbra id ing con-science.

T h e bapt ism took place on S a b b a t h morn-ing, abou t 11 o'clock, a t the river, ( B i g Black . ) A large and very respectable audience presen t — our pastor immersed s ix teen—three were not p repared , and s tand over unt i l our next meet ing.

There is also an interesting Sunday School here patronized by the different churches; ihere are also two day schools well attended i i ' t h i s settlement. In fact the germs of moral and intellectual culture, that by divine grace dis-tinguish us as a nation, are here already

BB.oTHEa Ga-ivEs:—Last Sunday we receiv-ed a Methodiit brother into our fellowship on a ptafes-sion of his faith with his baptism (im-mcrhion.) from the hands of the Methodist preacher. Had we not as well, next get the Methodise preachers to come to oar church and bititize for us? Please answer.

• D . J . t rf • I. According- to all the Methodist editors ! and authors of note in diis day, that member j is unbaptized, for they say that immersion is • no baptism-I i According to the admissions of all writ-

ers, on both sides, that member is unbaptizcd, because Methodist Societies are not Christian Churches, since they are bodies of unbaptized persons. Baptists. Catholics and Protestants admit where there is no baptism there is, and can be, no church.

Xo member, if the church that member joined believes that the Methodist S-jcieties are composed of baptized persons, and consequent-ly ihey mas t confess they are no churches— therefore this member was not only immersed by an unbaptized administrator, but by and into a body that is no more entitled td the con-sideration of a Church of Christ than has a Temperance, Tract or Bible Society.

In admitting such, the baptisms of Metho-dists, to be vtilid. we openly acknowledge their Societies to be gospel churches in gc-od order! That church, by this act has cut herself off from the fellowship of thomsands of the most

•pious Baptists in the Soulh-West. They could EDt cons4;ientiau:5ly eat the supper.wlth unbap-tiied persons.

Wm. Foreman, formerly of Illinois, more re cenlly of Texas, is the pastor of this church, who, in all the moral loveUness of the ever-lasting gospel, stands among this little godly band of believers and breaks unto them the bread of immortal life and hope. He has the confidence of his brethren and the whole com-munity. The church has resolved to build a meeting house during the next summer, to cost §3 ,000 or more, which they have the ability to do, and I make no doubt but they will ac-complish it. This when completed, will be the first meeting house South of San Francisco in this State, erected and dedicated to the living Gcd, except the Old Missions built by the priests of the Roman apostacy late in the last centurv, now crumbling into ruins in diifereut parts of this country; while the poor Indians gathered together in multitudes at those differ-ent missions and taught their sickly supersti-tions, are scattered and gone. May the Lord prosper this little band of true believers!

BttOTHSE G raves :—On the 19ih of April !a.>t I left Jfacogdoches, in Texas, for Califor-nia, with the intention "of remaining a year or two in this State. After a long and tedious jmirney I arrived at this place on the 15th of Stptcmber last, where I found a large settle-ment of enterprising inhabitants, located in n Talluy, smiling in verdure and beauty, the ricL^t scenery ui the world. The population of this part of Cidifomia is composed of the descendants of Mexidans, of Indians, and peo-ple from the various States of the Union, scat-tered over a very large extent of country, in the rallies surrounded by de«ert mountains, these Tallies being capable of supporting an immense population. American en te^r i se has akeady begun to develope the great natural resources of this country, and the setders are now surrounded with an exuberance of the comfarta of life.

On my arrival in the vicinity of this place I had the uraningled pleasure of entering, on that r e iy night, into a camp-meeting, which bad been already in progress a few days, un-der the direction of the Methodists, assisted principally by Baptists and Presbyterians. 1 found myself a t once in the midst of warm-hearted christians, and these not a few, active-ly engaged in founding the Spiritaal Empire of the 'Son of God in this new and . in te res tag part of the Union. There were several con-verts as die res i l t of this camp-meeting, which confimied for several days."

WazREis , Our beloved brother Thomas P Boone, has received a letter of dismission fro.".i this church, and left us for the purpose of making his home in some part of Arkansas, where be is entirely unacquainted, he beings a l!c<:nsed minister and a worthy christian, in whom wc repose the utmost confidence and who v.e delight to recommend as such; there fure.

Resolved, That it was with deep feelings of regret that we parted with Brother Eoone, and he has our prayers and best wishes for his pros pt r i ty , happiness and usefulness wherever C od ia his providence may cast h ' s lot.

Resvlced, Tha t we do hereby recommend him to the brethren wherever he may go, as a young minister of true christian piety and hon-i,rab!e deportment, having the esteem and con-fidence of all good people where he is kno^vn.

Resolced, That in as much a.s many of the brethren in Arkansas have ( thruugh the col-umns of the "Tennessee Bapt i s t , " ) strongly tocoaraged and .solicited ministers to come to tiieir aid, although we deplore his loss to us, yet wc feel gratified in believing that if he meets with the proper encouragement he will prove a great blessing to the cause of Christ wherever he may locate.

Resolved, That the above preamble and reso-lutioas be signed by the Moderator and Clerk of the church, and forwarded to the "Tennes-see Baptist for publication.

Done by order of the church in confercncc. Seiiurday before the second Lord's day in No-v .mber , 1354. A. H. BOOTH, Moo.

At a regularHieetingof the United Baptists, L< ld with Little Cedar Lick Church, Saturday,

Novem'oer 13, A. D. 1854, the following pre-amble and resolutions were adopted:

W h e r e a s , The editorial character of our •listinguished brother, J . R. Graves, Editor of the "Tennessee Baptist ," has been assailed and condemned by a few brethren in Middle Ten-nessee we tiiink unjustly and in an improper spirit; as an evidence, therefore, approbating his course, and of our fairness to Baptist prin-ciples, learned from the word of God, for which Baptists alone have contended since the days of the Apostles and for which Baptists have suffered martyrdom that the prosperity and happiness of Christ 's church on earth should be built up and glorified:

Resolved, Tha t we heartily concur with the General Association of Middle Tennessee and Xorth Alabama, at its last session held in Win-chester, Tenn., m the adoption of the series resolutions endorsing the Tennessee Baptist as a true and faithful exponent of Baptist doctrine and principles, their expose and disapprobation of Mr. Campbell 's wild Jesuitical heresies, Ac., i -c .

Resolved, Tha t the above preamble and reso-lution be sent to Bro. J . R. Graves for publi-cation in the Tennessee Baptist. Done by o r der of the church ia conference assembled.

D e a b Bbo thzb Gbaves:—TJie foUowinjj are the resoluUons of onr General Association in reference to Campbellism. I introduced simi-lar ones in the Tennessee As.sociadon. but have not a copy:

-Whebias, The Rev. Alex. CampbeD, m a iccent number of t he Melleiinial Harbinger, baa stated that Baptists i a Tennessee sympa-thize -with him anddisapproTeof the exposure of his doctrines by the £ d i t a r of the Tennes-see Baptist; therefore.

Resolved, Tha t we d o not fceliere there is a single Baptist Minister in Eas t Tennessee who has any sympathy f o r the peculiar doctrines of Mr . CampbelL

Resolved f u r t h e r . T h a t we fully approve the &ithfal exposure of t be absurd and dangerous doctrines of M r . A . Campbell by B e r . J . B-Grares, and r ecc faae i l d the articles of Mr. Graves to all wl io m a y wish to see Campbell-ism in its BiOiTe character , i m m a ^ x d . ^ , f S k o a O U i S o r . S, 1 8 M ,
