THE PEESIDEETIAL MESSAGES,
'rhe contrast between the message of
President Lincoln and that of President'
Davis l inust strike the most cursory;,
readers The tone of the one is calm and
confident; the tone of the other is regret
ful and despondent. Mr. Lincoln does'
not think it necessary to recount the.oc-
currences of the war. He refers to them
with haughty nonchalance as to opera
tions proceeding naturally to one inevita
ble issue, and enters into detail only in re
lation to those measures with which he in
tends to accompany the suppression'of the
revolt. Mr. Davis, whose admirable com
mand of the English language, and manly
recognition of facts, as they are, impart a
dignity) almost a fascination) to his periods,
acknowledges 'defeat, throws no veil' over
the forpe which .is gradually closing in
with resistless power qpqm the Confede
racy, and puta hiS i trust, Jikq the stag, at
bay, in “sheer determination to fight to the
last. Mr. Lincoln, pleased with the as
pect of his own affairs, diffuses his satis
faction and smiles upon .the world'in gene
ral. He Jhas upthing- to allege against
France or England, and he rejoices that
extremes are to meet by the establishment
of telegraphic communications between
despotic Russia- and democratic America.
Mr. Davis,. ill at ease at home, finds
nothing satisfactory abroad. Earl Rus
sell and Napoleon 111. have both turned
the cold shoulder to a Confederacy which
did not seem likely to conquer, and no at
tempt is made to extract satisfaction even
from the Mexican expedition. President
Lincoln, 1 content with the success which
has attonded his arms, does not accuse tho
South of ferocity or inhumanity. Presi
dent Davis dwells at length on the harsh
manner in which he affirms that the Fede
rals have carried on the war, and attempts
once more to conjure up the sympathies
of Europe by naming Butler, Turchin,
Macneil. Without boastfulness or exul
tation, Mr. Lincoln’s message is as confi
dent as it could, well be before the actual
subjugation of the Confederates; and
though . there is no hint at surrender, no
whining or lamentation, in that of Mr.
Davis, it could scarcely, so long as he has
armies in the fieM, be more desponding.
We frankly admit that the result of the.
war anticipated by President Lincoln
seems to us probable. No one doubts
that the power of the North is beyond
comparison greater than the poorer of the
South; and when % greater power is
brought to bear with sufficient determina
tion and perseverance upon a less, the end
may be'deferred, but the defeat of the lat
ter is inevitable. The Confederates may
perform.pro.digieS ,of valor; the Carthagi
nians, in the last. days of their common T
wealth, performed prodigies of valor; but
victories) however brilliant, will not create
fleets and armies, and without fleets antf
armies, the Confederate" States cannot
establish,.their, independence.
President Davis complains bitterly of
the want of sympathy exhibited by the
European Powers with the Confederate
cause; but in this message, which may be
his last, be doggedly refuses to speak that
word which would even now unseal the
fountains of sympathy, for the. South in
England and in France. Dark as he
knows the prospectS'of his countrymen to
be, President Davis gives us not one ray of
hope that emancipation will be carried
out in the Confederacy. The “institur
tion” is-still inviolable. The “corner
stone” of the slave republic stands sure.
There is-not in this message, as there has
has not been in any official document is
issued by the Southern Government, one
syllable to justify tho hope that, if the
Confederates asserted their independence,
the negroes would, in course of time; be
emancipated. If President Davis , feels
that he isolated from the sympathy of
the world, he is not without knowledge of
the cause. He has met the demands of
civilized “and Christian humanity with im
placable defiance; he must take the con
sequences. (
If, on the other hand, there are not a
few among us who think that, had it been
possible to secure the ultimate emancipa
tion of the. slaves, it would have been best
for both parties that North and- South
should be, separate, we, must all regard
with satisfaction the statements made by
President Lincoln in his message, in refer
ence to ,the negro rage. He mentions
that the, American treaty with Great
Britain for the suppression of the slave
trade has been vigorously carried out, a
thing which is well known to have never
occurred while the South retained power
in the councils of, the. United States. He
declares that be will not recede from his
emancipation edict, an important an
nouncement, precluding all hope and all
fear that'the North will bribe the Oon
federates: haek to their allegiance by the
sacrifice of the negro race. He states that
50 000 negroes are enrolled in the armies
of’ the Nbrth, and that they are as
good as any. All who are convinced
that slavery is an offence against God
and man, and that Southern slavery
in particular is “ the sum of all villanies ”
must rejoj.co in these announcements.. It
has long been the opinion of sympathisers
with the North, and can now hardly be
doubted by any, that' one result of this
war will be the abolition, of slavery
Among civilized men. If, slavery is de
stroyed in the Confederate States, it will
speedily be destroyed in Cuba and else
where.—London Weekly Review.
& BESOUED NATION.
When .the real history of the last half
century comes to be written—if ever it be
written—it will be seen that we have been
preyed upon by one demoralizing power
more blighting than all others combined.
It has been like an epidemic sickness, a
leprosy'on the heart of the nation. 1
am not speaking now of the corrupting in
fluence of slavery on the private morals
of tiie South, of plantation brothels ana
palatlals harems. lam speaking of its in
fluence on public morals. And what I
■say is that i it has been a rottenness in Our
bones. A. system founded on injustice ant
inhumanity, and perpetuated by cupidity
and lust, lays the axe at the very root
of morality. It has bought and sold
our presidents. It has packed our Su
jreihe Court, appointed our cabinet of
ficers, . elected our Federal law-givers,
bribed our. legislation, dictated our na
tional policy. It has stood up against
the right of petition. It has withstood
freedom of speech, and caned it in the
Federal Capitol. It has sectionalizcd our:
national legislation, dwarfing down pa
triotism to vassalage to itself. It has
brought its home-born licentiousness to
the seat of government, and rising iu the '
morning from its lecherous bed: it has
swaggered, into, the- Capitol to bully and
brow-beat senators and the representa
tives of a great free people It has de
bauched the national conscience. It has
subsidized the;- press,' ,or hissed its : out
spoken honesty. It .has rent- in twain
.the church. It has. gone into the pulpit.
:and made Christ preach, not a gospel of
freedom, but a gbspbl of hopeless bondage: I
Its angels of mercy have been trained I
blood-hounds andmore cruel. taskmasters.
Its New Te stament has been—“ There are
slaver rabes, bom, to serve, master races
born to govern. ” —Richmond Enquirer.
f To crown its dnfamy -it has laid its sacri
ligious hands on the pillarsiOf the Repub
lic, and would lay iu ruing the temple, of.
liberty.
But' in- This own time and way, God is j
delivering us from this pestiferous power
' of corruption. He means by it that we |
• shall'l». a.better, holier people.. We praise
his name for it. Talk r to’ me of the de
moralizingand infidelizing power of war !
The morals'of. >the; camp are spotless com
pared with those of. the plantation.
Thanks be to God, slavery will make no
more, presidents,, appoint no more cabinet

tors, bribe no more representatives and

, no; more a gospel of oppression. • Pan,

THEOLOGICAL QUABTEBLIES FOB
JAHUABT.
The American Presbyterian and The-
OiiOGiCAXi Review bpbhh with an article on
the Latin Patriarchate, from the prolific pen
of Dr. Schaff; of Mercersburg, who with
Prof. 1 Tayler £ewis, of TJnion College,.has
also' ? cbntrihpted to the •Methodist Quarter-
ly 'of 1 this month. Dr. Schaff assign's a
providential significance to the Roman
Patriarchate, as; forming " part of the ne
cessary external outfit of tho Church for
her disciplinary mission-among the hea-
then! barbarians. The Catholic'hierarchy,
with its pyramid-like culmination in the
papacy, served among the Roman and
Germanic peoples, until the time of the
Reformation, a purpose similar to that
of the Jewish theocracy and the old Re-
man Empire, respectively in, the inward
and outward preparation of Christianity.”;
This is very specious, and falls in with
the passion for analogies so prevalent
among Scientific, men; but it raps counter
to our ideas of the true Pauline, apostolic,
method of subduing the world to Christ.
That was by the foolishness of preaching;
Rome’s method is the carnal wisdom of
men. She is trying it, and has been try
ing it for centuries* in . .South. America, by
such means as lately issued in
lelledi calamity pf.. iSan’tiago. v We may pe
sure God meant something better for. the;
race by his church, than the compromise
between heathenism and true religion of
fered by Roriie to' the barbarians of the
north of Europe. Dr. ; Schaff shows how
the assumption, first of patriarchal power,
over ihe churches of the West alone, was
■disputed in various' . localities, and was
only conceded generally in the 6th cen
tury. He then traces the rise of the idea: 1
of ■universal supremacy, or the papacy, in
■the reference of Christ’s words, " Thou art
to Peter,” to the primacy of that apostle,
showing at the same time, how the fa
thers vacillate in their interpretation of the
passage } he also shows how little ground
there is for appeal to the decrees of coun
cils in behalf of the, assumptions of the
papacy, the great councils of Nice, Ephe
sus; Constantinople and Chalcedon, giving
the pope simply the position ampng the
five patriorchs of primus inter pares
which is substantially the position of the
Greek Church. ! f ;
The second article is valuable as laying
before theologians a document, in an Eng-,
lish translation, which, few have, opportu
nity to see in any form: The Epistle of
Barnabas, from the Codex Sinailicus.
The inconceivable superiority;of the New,
Testament to the productions of uninspired
men of the immediately succeedingage, is
well illustrated by the trivialities of this
singular production.
In the third article: The Begula Eidei;
or the Gospel of John, Prof. Lewis
dwells upon the distinctive and sublime
character of the Gospel of John, giving it
the central place in" all revelation, and
proposing it as the test and rule of our
faith, a problem insoluble on the grounds
of rationalism,—so incredible as an impos
ture, that a miracle only could explain it.
He traces John’s doctrines of the Logos, if
■to anything aside from his own deep m
spiration, not-to Plato or to Philo, bnt to
the Hebrew notices of the omnifto speech

•or uttered thought of God, as we find them
here and there in the Old. Testament.
President Fisher’s valuable address on
Education in the Presbyterian Church-,
forms the fourth'article. This address, de-
livered by appointment of the Presbyte-
rian Historical Society, before the Gene-.
ral Assembly which met in this city last
May commences with an argument for
mental culture and general learning as
accordant with the Divine purpose in the
Church. “ The Jews,” Dr. F. reminds us,
as a nation, were; in some reepects, the
best educated of- that age, Their syna-
gogues and their rabbis were in every vil
lage. Their children were trained in the
study of .the law and the prophets. And
as this -divine -system was infinitely supe
rior to that of : their pagan neigKbofo, So 1
the - mass bfthe people. siodif-on' a higher
plane than even the niore.scientific natlons
near .them. ’ o Our .fathers therefoteriSreiPe; in
the-strict line of ScripturSl analogy in
founding Schoois and seminaries of. foarnr
ing. : Besides,, as Presbyterians; they held
the doctrine of Scripture, in a systematic
form. "The study and harmonious de
velopment of these grand doctrines neces
sitated the.:, severest' mental -discipline:.
They are the most profound in all the
Encyclopedia of human knowledge:” A
training at'least as fall and thorough as
that required by the lawyer and' states-'
man, was hoddeH by one who is to unfold
and apply those infinitely more important:
teuths. Hence originated the zeal of our
Congregational and Presbyterian forefa
thers for colleges. Dr.F. then gives a
I brief-history of the early efforts of the
Puritans' mthis department ; :shows.that
Presbyterians had to contend against the
hostility of state governments ,in their
early history, and coming as they did from
diverse countries to America, with diverse
tastes and views,:did not so early- co-ope
rate in; great enterprises for the Church.’
The labors of Rev. William Tennant, jin.

years younger. Seventeen-twentieths of
our ministry - have : gone out of the various
theological seminaries. :
After {this brief historical view, which
we should be glad to see extended and
brobght down to the present time. Dr.,
Fisher presents some weighty thoughts sug
gested by the tabjeet, and " by the present
aspect of Some cff our educational institd
tions.” The chua’cb, in establishing col- :
leges, he says, aimed first, but by no means
exclusively,' at Securing a supply of edu
cated .'minister's:;.\ ( 1 / / ,
~ Beyond ! this' she sought the thorough
graining for.pur, youth in allthehigher.do
partments p.fjlajbor,. as.one of the. moat, ef
effective advancing! most rapidly,
the;hingdpm pt, Jesus.'' The church sought,
in this way to spread her influencedypt
the. youth who were to be the leaders in
both: - church apd state; to care for tho
highest interests, of all,. and send them
forth so educated, that, whether they mi--
nistered in the pplpit, or at thp hat, or jin
the more common.walks of human enter.-.,
prise, they should carry with them a mind,
informed with high intelligence,:guided,by
correct principles, and animated by the
spirit of a truly Christian* benevolence.
In this way pur, colleges came.to he, in. de-.
sign and effect, not merely nurseries for
the .ministry, 1 but also l of those minds which
were to exert a profound and, far-reaching
influence on all the" high places to be oc
cupied by the disciplined intellect of tho
nation.
In these institutions, of course, the
church designed that a truly Christian
education should be given. Dr. Fisher
here quotes Carlyle:
“To know God, the Maker ; to know
the .divine laws and inner harmonies of
the universe; must always' be the highest
glory for a man. And not to know them,
always the highest disgrace for a man,
however lt is the crown
ing glory of Newton,, that in all his vast
discoveries he walked as in the presence
of God, and sought'to unfold his kingdom.
How grandly, and yet how modestly, does;
he, in the conclusion of his . Principia de-,
dare, that in all His work he had purposed,
to bring forth the idea of God as a personal
Sovereign over the universe. And it is
equally the disgrace of Humboldt, that he
could compose his. Cosmos; where at every
step this Divine Intelligence reveals him
self/without recognizing bis sovereignty
or bis existence. From this divorce of
science from religion; this wicked attempt
to know the works without knowing the
worker; this effort to educate men as the
mere slaves of natural forces, and not to
educate them under the inspiring idea of
a personal sovereign and a divine Re
deemer, our fathers sought to save us.
They gave to their colleges a Christian
character; they sought to develop the
sublime harmonies existing between na
ture and revelation; they brought our
youth under the direct influence of those
truths by which natural science is conse
crated, and the heart trained for the re-
sponsibilities of this life, and the grander
destiny of the life to come.
But how can we make the collegiate
course of study promote and establish
Christian principles in the minds of the
students ? Is it enough, he asks, to .have
a formal recognition of Christianity and a
Sabbath service and daily prayers ? The
Bible is the text book Of Christianity. Says
the writer:
To make our colleges truly Christian,
this Wonderful book must itself be Studied
by oar youth, studied in its history, sttidied
with, as, thorough ah enthusiasm as the
classics/ and the.mathematics, and natural
science ; studied along with them, from
the beginning to'the end of the student’s I
course, till it shall be as ■ for a

Uery of its principles. This is the plain, |
I practical, common sense method of en-*
thro&ng" Christianity as the infoTimng and
[.vitalizing pOwer: of human knowledge/
higher than earthly philosophy, loftier
thai natural science; the finest discipline
of tie intellect/the grandest force to con
trol and bless the heart. •
It is a sad and startling fact, that not a;
few of our literary institutions have drifted
away from- , this anchorage of the souk-
The prodigious advance of natural science
hasicrowded out this higher science ; - the
knowledge of the dead past has excluded
the knowledge of the living, verities essen
tial? tothe true , life and greatest efficiency |
of the scholar; so that, in some of our
proudest and most popular and crowded
| institutions, with much that entitles them
to'the confidence of the churches, there is,
from the beginning to the end of their cur?
ribulum, not one collegiate /exercise that
compels the personal attendance of the
[ Student to the great text-book of Chris
tianity.
■ iDr. Fisher then considers' thb question'
whether the denominations should abandon
the support and control of, colleges,. as
they Lave have already in great measure
abandoned common schools to the' State.
He’ answers it, : unhesitatingly, in the ne
gative. 'The child'/ while going to' the.
primary school, is still in the family, and.
the .deficiencies of his education mayyet
-he-made dp by parental influencebut the

Now what, we ask, has -th'e state to of?
