THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 18GG. 5 THE SUNDAY QUESTION. The Pnbbath Lnw, Moral and Perpotnal. Jo the Editor oj tht ventnf 1 cle.rtraph . In the close of our flxth paper, for want ot room, we scarcely did Justice to our camo, in answering the objection ftlrt ;lie sacred rest, because of in being ignored in Ibe h'story until Binai, Wo bare seen that this is not trim in fact On tho contrary, there aro Just such no. Iocs as lnl lit reasonably be expected in a ois'ory so v ry brief, and extending oyer a penod of twunty-five centutlei. Wo noticed the publio worship o' Adam's family) the seven days of Jioahj tho severs ot the ctoin bons's; and the restoration ot tho law soon after the exodus from Kpypt, in the Wild, rnoss of Sin, a month boforo Israel came to Simii. Wo just touched upon tlio tact that other laws and institutions aro unnoticed in that brief biHtorv. Lft ns expound tins lat Idoa a litllo It in argued by the opponents of the Lord's D.iy, that if tno rest was given to man at the berinnini( as a binding moral law, it wou'd euro y have beea oltoncr men tioned in history; whereas we hoar noihint? ot it until Moses gave it at H i n n. ; H is therofor a JiHh insnlution, and w-f bve nothing 10 do wita it. This is the lopio of a distinguished diviui of the Ks.ab Ushcd Chinch of Scotland, and nuito frosh. Of course my readers know that the cream of fecutland's piety aid learning was skitnnid oft' from the Church established by law to constitute "the Free Church." Establishments seem doomod to a tLsoondinjr moyemeut: it is cxceodinjrly pro bable that this argu ncnt wiii dovolope the Colenso ot the Scottish establishment. Hut let us to tho answer. If the omission or infrequent mention of the 8abbatii from Adam to AIos proves that it was never (riven to man as a moral Jaw, thu mut be eqnuliy applicable to rich and every ono of the ton commands. Ihcy wore nil alike tittered In thunder from 8iuai; all equally written -nd rewritten by tho finder ol God on ine tables of stone; they och and all stand on the very sumo founda tion; they must stand, all of them, or tall tugothrr. Il tho Gltisucw Colenso ha demo lished tho fourth commandment, ho has overthrown Ihe Dica'osue; ho has unn hilatod tin whole moral law of God, and there will bo a jubilee in Sodom, Gomorrah, and I'atidemou,uni. Alow, d. iir reader, would jou believe llf Ibis couclumon the Glasgow Dcctor twallow s. "The whole of the Deca logue as a Docalogun was buried with Jusus in his grave." Kiis result, by ilio necessity of eternal lop e, from liio position taken, that tho fourth oom. mt.admont is puroiy Jewish. But the end is not yet; lortko same inexorable loic wi.l loico him to reject the whole Od Icslaraeut, a portim and yet iurtker, the Isew Testament must lull too. Open infidelity is tho cud of this assuult upon tho moral law ot tho Sabbath. Short of this no logical mind enn stop. This accounts for the K,ar'0X luct' that all the interests of luiinoiantr tho ram holes, tho gambling-houses, tho thtatiei, the iim.-iked bulls, "Ibe synagogue of the iib?rtine," the pulpits which ' deny I he Loru," and proclaim an amnesty in the world of woo all conspire to overthrow)! ho Sabbath; Whilst all evangelical Christians, of all names and denominations, "utaud up lor Je.sus," and advocate tho observance of the Lord's Day. II any 01 the other precepts are found in tho same condition wi'h the foiiitli, as to not bein mentioned from Adam to SI ones at Sium, tba saino conclusion must iaoviiab'.y be deduced azaiust ic, iSiio.ico in the record condemns the fourth: why not condemn every pieceptiu rolcrcncu to which tho same silence is observed! from this there is no shift: it mir.t bemet. Let us then see how the case stands, Tho first command is, "ihou shu.t have no other gods be lore mo." Will any pleader agaiust the lourlh point out to us tho chapter and verse, from Adam ' to Moses, wliereiu this fiwt precept is ionnd. If no man can bo discovered to learutd in tho law, then indisputably, the lirst command is nu'land roid. How is it with the second T "1'iiou sualt not make unto thee any graven image, etc." Worshipping idols, or uflav. them at ad in worship, is forbidden. Will lr. ycLeod or Mr. Forney allow us the record of this precept prior to JJ est s f i beretore tho second oommandment is obliterated; away with thin Jewish figment, and give liberty to tho human soul, that tho "free German," aud the scoffing uthoist, and the bigoted Komaniht, moy bow down auo kiss the too of Jew 1'eter, expel God from lib own wor.d, aud rescuo civil government from the thraldom of moral law, and all fear of justice, and love to the Creator I The third command is: " Thou shalt not tuko tho nance of the Lord thy God in vain," eto. Is this recorded anywhere in the history prior to Mosesf Let the place be pointed out. W here is it? If not, then these gentlemen liuvo their conclusion. Tho law against profane swearing aud blasphemy is not binding upon us flow dare any man reprove ns foriiT "our tooguo is our own; who is lord over us t" How dare you ask a free man to swear In a court of justice, and yet punish him for talcing God's name in vain ou any occasion be pleases? The same fate awaits the fifth aud Bixth precepts '"Honor thy father and thy mother, etc.," "Ihou e halt not kill." If these are not recorded in the nistory, they ore Jewish rites, with which we have no con. cern ; and what child does not know that no such record exists? Heuco, my readers, the fearful dlsre fiord ot parental authority. W ith all the restraints oi law and the force of instruction under these pre cepts, how fearful the disregard to parents, and how horribly murders abound ! Take away these laws; let oorrupt nature know there is no moral law giving authority to parents or protection to lite by the pun Ishinent ot crimes; and where are we? What a state of society we shall have I BWe touched on the law of the seventh command on a iormer occasion, and tho compositor misread the manuscript in a singlo letter, which, however, spoils tho meaning by reading "wines" instead of "wives" "From the days of Cain (Gon. iv, 17) to the flood there is but twice mention made of wives (Gen ir, 10), theietore men had no wives tor sixteen conturies. Conouoines, and otners still less perma nently bound to any man, must have beon tho mothers of all, from Lamech to the flood. Bnghaui and his harem are not new inventions, if this logic be bated on a true lnetniso. Let us embrace this philosophy in our morni code, aud tho Mormon gospel wil. supplant the Bib e, and Christian ladies may utiend bulls without wearing masks. liiKorniLua, A pnper Iu Nantes, Frunce, publi-tUes the following letter, which shows taut the Tope is in want ot men: "31. 1'Abbe: My sun returned home ou Wed npsriav nnd bunded in oitr letter.

Now I am compelled to tell your readers that mv treasury 1s exhau-ted, and over one hundred doll.ua to pay lor orders ihsited lor gr cerie, provisions, etc. Yesterday I had to turn away about fifty real mcdy crsps without aid, and had it not been for n large wagon load of potatoes, turnips, meal, etc., that came from Jenkiutown late in toe altcrpoon, collected by the energy and sympa thy of the wile ol one of our merchants, to-day . must have witnessed the fame sad sight of titty or sixty (this la about the daily number of appli cants) poor, lnit erv, and very thinly clad widows and wives, representing as ninny fami lies ol our bruve soldiers, turning from oir djor to iheir cold, cheerless rooms and hungry chil dren, with a sad and heavy heart add an emvh basket t Oh, air !

I know our people are tcrr'.bly annoyed with appeals, but I simply appeal to tlie common Fense ot our citizens, as n ell as to their patriot inn, humaiith), and re'iqion. If there be in Philadelphia, to day, a cause that is moie needy and more ortliv oi large and liberal aid than tho stippoii of the IVnilicbof our noble detenders, theu, by all means, let that causf be Ihe first in our people's hearts. Did our citizens come aud nee for themselves ns some have, I would not need to write another nppeal.
