DOCTRINAL ATTITUDE OF OLD
SCHOOL PRLSBtTEEIANS.
The Bibuoiebsoa Sacra for January,
<|Qntaina two or tiiree articles of general
interest, one of which on the doctrinal
aUidute of Old School Fresbytehans’ we
■ epitomize for our readers. The
is Prof L. 11. Atwater of Princeton
|%yege. _ . r (.
He begins with the rather unusual claim
tof “catholicity” for ,OW,rSchool Presby
fetrinn doctrines; by s whi(^.|ie. i m,ean8 i t^at )
Kith insignificant exceptipnsptbey are part?
If the
branches of the <^nffiih|'‘phuych;,bt ( .'pf
both of the Evangelical of, the
Beformation, or. of the great bodyii ;Q?
' Calvinists. : - ; Th« 'first ttMble ‘he touches
upon is the “Rule'df He main
tains the theoiy 0f.,, inspiration,
which he holds to be perfectly consistent
with each writer ‘ preserving his f own
individuality of style; as is undeniably
the case. Speaking briefly of the Godhead,
Trinity and Sonship of; Christ, he comes
to Decrees, Providence and Predestination;
and argues , that free agency and contin
gency are not destroyed' by the divinely
decreed certainty of fiiture events.; that,it
is entirely inadequate to :say that' God
simply forsees what free' agents will do
add so ordains it.; that there. is ho for
knowledge unless of events certain to come
to pass; that the antecedent etemaiground
certainty is the' divine ;' ; thkt the
vial of eternal decrees vfhieh ensure the
iritiOn of all ■ events, subverts the,
dedge of God and renders Provident
. the goverment of the-Uni verse; impos
ible. The existent of ’ s&'in the, world
if course presente a grave difficulty. God
?ems to purpose one thing and to cOm
iand another. ;The ' (Mystery ‘of this
iparent contradictioncannot be fully
Ived. But such p.assagps ste Gen. 50,:
i, and Acte 2, 28, ■.show;, hp.W: fairly it is
:t in Scripture.
Pspf. A. then defines ! cfertain controverted
inns. Freedom of the. will “involves,
♦ power of self-determination in the;-
ise of choosing any object or its opposite,'
accordance with our preponderating'
ires.” Itinvolves no power of choosing
contrary of what we desire or are
iased to chbose at the moment of choioe.
to the morality of desires,'feelings and
isitions, those which' are exercised
,rd things morally gOqd or evil, are
>mselves Morally good' or evil. 1 He.
lists the inference that'if'the disposition
regarded as corrupt, the substance or
essence of the soul Must be polluted.
: “governing purpose” has moral
iraeter, but it is not the substance of
) soul. “To impute” iheans not the
.usfer Of inherent qualities, but to reckon
put to the account' of, any one as a
ud of judicial treatment. '“ Guilt”
us obligation to, or being obnoxious
;he punishment of-Siii. ; Criminality in
ne person is the ohly ground Of guilt
Obnoxiousness to punishment, but the'
ter may be transferred from thdse' who
i, to those who are not, personally Sub
its of the former. Hence those not
rinal may, in the theological phrase,
‘ gitilty”—an unfortunate misuse of
is we venture to saiyj according to the
loquendi of our ddy? 1
'routing Of original sin, Prof. A., with
lent reliance on what he regards as
iorities, as well as on the assumed
,-ngth of the argument, asserts that thW
;ive corruption Of the 'soul anterior’to all
litiori is truly and properly sin. He
identally states his belief, at the close of
argument, that infants dying in infancy
saved from the guilt and' pollution of
. through Christ. •
Adam’s sin is admitted to hdve a causa
relation to the fall of our race ; but
if. A., claims that the fajl of the race is
penal effect of Adam’s sin, and argues
-oily against those who are content to
ie at the first statement, or who, if
go any further, say that the fallen
ition of the race is ( m consequence of
sovereign constitution” or divine
intment, under the rule that “like
:s like.” Adam by covenant, was
ituted the representative of the race, so
is act was, in this, sense and. in legal
accounted .and treated as their act,
this ground justly imputed to them,
t the view Prof. .A, maintains as
catholic Calvinism., He of course
;he realistic theory which , makes
race one substance, a theory
•of. Shedd seems to favor in the
’ the doctrinh; And also the
"mediate imputation” by which
‘ that Adam’s sin is imputed to
•ity through their own innate
whereby they are, supposed, to
;o it; that in virtue of such
or implied cfmseut to his sin, it
ickoned or they may be treated,
■re their own.” Prof. A. does
we are bound to repent of
idom of the Will, the writer
a view allowing the distinction
mtural and moral ability; the
* \r~ \r . .j. » £
-
real. It is not natural, in the sense of.
belonging to human nature in its original, ,
nojrmal unfallen state. It is not inconsis-,
tent with the possession of natural facul
ties which constitute a moral agent, or
which are essential to mankind. Yet it is
irremovable by the sinner’s own power,
else it would be no real inability.
■ Under the head, of Redemption and.
Justification, -Prof. A., says that Christ’s:
sufferings are truly penal, and accepted.
as such in lieu .of tbe ; sinner’s;punishmentv ;
The-sins of Christfs people wereimputed
■ to him,iand:.he. assunaedttheiri obligation to.
undergo punishmenhl. r A- literal substitu
tion: Prof. A. does noti teaeh y hesays-
Chrises suffefings.hadbwmdle®S worthin'
accbunt.oftheinfinitedignitybfhis'person:
Christ’s perfect - righteousness a must also
be imputed"’to blsV’p'Sople, 'to securfe-their
justification, i Hence it* the ''atonement is
no mere governmental ; expedient; no
merely didactic ■or symbolical Or influen
tial exhibition. It is a true and proper
satisfaction of divine justice by Christ’s
endurance- of the penalty' due-the sinner,
and bis perfect obedience imputed' to him
for his full justification.” Wo are pleased
to observe that' this Princetori professor
adopts the old formula that the atonement
is “sufficient for all men; efficient only
for the elect.” The’sacrifice, be 1 says, that
is adequate to : atone for the sins of one
man, would be adequate to atone for the
sins of; all, if if were %ppliedi? to them.
Hence,, the gospel/offer of-Uhrist >to Tall
men made.iin: the rScripturer.and “to be
made without hesitation .or .USsUrve by the
ministers of the . Gospel." - President
Edwards is quoted,ias .sayingthatin some
sense, Christ may be said to die for all
and •tp .redeem all visible--Christians, yea
the whole world- -by his death; yet: with a
particular design: with respect to such as
he intended should be' actually saved
thereby. . ■--:: . ;
. Prof. A. in concluding -his lucid and'
dignified statement of Old School doctrines
quotes the old maxim: “in essential
unity” &c. It- would:be a work of great'
interest for some' competent' persons'
imbued with the desire/andhope of. Pres
byterian Union to stato what really are;
the doctrinal essentials of Presbyterianism'
or Calvinism itself.

i We are indebted to the “Literary Ga

iterprisihg townsman, Geo; : W. Childs,
( February 1, for the following items of lit-'
jerifry interest:
, Just before the celebrated author Thacke
ray’s sudden death, he was rather shabbi
ly treated by- the ‘'London Tercehtery
.Shakespeare Committee,” in the rejection
of his name proposed as one of the Vice-
Presidents by the side of Tennyson, Dick
ens, Bulwer, and others already holding
jthat position. A small literary pique is
jsupposed to have led the majority to an
abt, of Which they are doubtless now
ashamed. Mr. Thackeray commenced his
caTeef among literary men as ah artist, by
furnishing a series of sketches upon which
Dickens’ Pickwick Papers were to
based. The arrangement, however, ceased
with the first number, the public taste run
ning directly with the letter-press, and not
with the plates, clever , though they were,
pjf course Mr. Dickens had no alternative.
bpt/jtQ meet- the proposition.with; a eopy-.
te.ous negative,, upon which his visitor,
dinging.down the pencil,.exclaimed, "If.l
cannpt draw to please any one, I will
and; try to please somebody.” ’.He
, then devoted himself swith ardor to his
new pursuit. ; , ; ,

u ; Full Notes of ihe late 'meeting of- mem-'
bers of the Book Trade in this city Janii-'
•ary: 2lst, appears in ' the .last nufiiMf s of
■Childs* Publishers’-Circular. Thekheetihg
•is described as-perhaps the best attended
of the-Philadelphia trade l ever tieldt ' -'Alb
the religious publishing hOuseS and com
mittees of the city were represented. 1 Mr.
Alfred 'Martien was called to preside, ‘and
-Mr; Hazard l appointed Secretary; The
two subjects before the meeting were the
Trade Sales, in respect to the ; reciprocity
of the publishers of Boston, New York 1
and Philadelphia, particularly the reluc
tance of-the New’York publishers to reci
procate with ours in contributing to' the
sales in this city; but more espeeially‘the
practice of underselling in the'rctail' trade.
The retail prices announced by the pub
lishers were considered by the meeting to
be the only fair standard of retail trade in
books, and it was delated to be “detesta
ble and dishonorable,” as well as detrimen
tal to the interests of the trade, for any
house to deliver them at a lower rate.
Mr. Leypoldt seems to have presented the
'most thorough and carefully prepared view
of the subject, though, to us, there seemed

than 'the ahhounceffient'of the appearance
of such and such Volumes; yet we think
the newspaper critic is solemnly bound to

•on valueless goods,? Surely this is a* far
mere frequent and far'more dangerous use
of the critic’s positiori than the other.
• As part of our own reeent experience ,in
this line, we would state that a book pub
lished Jast summer, containing a brief Bi
ble defence' of slavery, passed the gauntlet
of the' leading religious journals, including
those most notorious for anti-slavery sen
timents, 'with words of general approval.
So far as we know, our'own bobk-colfmU
was the only one in which this feature of,
the work was noticed. The. 1 author sent
for two'copies of orir paper containing ihe
notice, arid the publisher advertised the
Work, with laudatory citations froin those
very anti-slavery journals, (but with no ci
tation from our criticism,) in, our columns.
The book has reached a second edition.
A recent large, costly octavo,, on the
Music .of the Bible, was sent to us, which
;we pretty soon decided to thr.ow into, the
waste paper basket,, arid gave our readers
a judgment of the Work' accordant with
this decision. We , have been amazed to
see one journal after another, confounded
apparently by. the size of the work, employ
the set phrases of commendation in speak
ing of it, and one’ of pur-best ,• quarterlies
following in'the same'track. We felt our
selves quite albne, until the judgment of
the critic in the last Bibliotheca Sacra
met our nottce-r-that is similar/to our own:.
A. small popular work on geology has re
cently been re-published in this,'city from a
foreigri'Original, Which, so far as we know,
has met unqualified approval from the cri
tics of our, religious journals, notwith
standing it is pervaded wiih the unserip
tural dogmas lately put forth by the infi
del school of naturalists. We tried, in
our humble way, to indicate its grave de
fects,- but believe ourselves, so far, to be
alone in the attempt. .
There are airier matters connected with
book-criticism which may hereafter receive
our-attention;'

HENRY HARPER,
520 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
, . The Secretary of the Treasury
has not yet given notice of any intention to
withdraw this popular Loan from Sale at Par,
and, until ten days’ notice is given, the under
signed,-as
will-continue to supply the public.
The whole amount of the Loan authorized ie
Five Hundred Millions of Dollars.
Nearly Four Hundred Millions have been
already subscribed and paid
into the Treasury,
mostly within the last seven months. The large
demand from abroad, and the rapidly increasing
home demand for use asthebasis for circulation'
by National Banking Associations now or
ganizing in all parts of the county, wiH, in a very
short period, absorb the balance. Sales have
lately ranged from teri to fifteen millions week
ly, frequently exceeding three millions daily,
and as it-is well-known‘that the Secretary of
the .Treasury has ample and unfailing resources
in the Duties on Imports and Internal Revenue,
and tin the issue of the Interest-bearing Trea
sury: Notes, it is almost h certainty that he will
not find- it necessary, for a long time to come,
to seek a market for any other long or perma
nent.loans,, the.lnterest and Principal of which
are
Prudence and self-interest must force the
minds cf those contemplating the formation of
National Banking Associations, as well as the
minds of all who have idle money in. their
hands/ to the ; prompt conclusion that they
should lose no time in subscribing,to this, most
popular Loan, it will soon be beyond their
reach ,'and advance to a handsome premium, as
. wais the reshlt with the “ Seven Thirty ” Loan,.
: when it was, all sold and fcould no longer be
subscribed for at par. . , ,
; It is a Six per Cent. Loan, the Interest
and Principal payable m qout, thus yield
ing over Nine per Centper annum at the
present rate of premium 'on coin,
j i The Government requires' all duties on im
ports to be paid in Coin. These duties have,
for a: long time past, amounted to' over a
Quarter of a Million of Dollars daily, a' sum
nearly three' times [greater than that required in
the payment of the interest on all the 5-20's
and other permanent .loans. So it is .hoped
that the Surplus Coin in the Treasury, at no dis
tant day, .will enable the .United;States-to re
sume specie payments upon all liabilities,
The Loan is called 5-20,from the fact that,
whilst the Bonds may run for 20 years, yet the
Government Has a right to pay them off in
' Gold, at par, at any time after 5 years. .
