SPECIAL REPORT FOK BVENIKfil TKLKU llAPII. 1 The Hot. William J. Alston, the Hector of St,' Thom8' Protestant Episcopal Church (colored), Is a man of thorough cnlttire and considerable pulpit eloquence. A tliort time since he delivered an able sermon on "The Equality of the Ruccs," taking ior hW text the folio itiur passtaire. ''d'orthalh nhrwril iw thaf I h'nilil not call any tMn '4nnion or unrlran." AO! X tl. Within the past two weeks our attention wai attracted ly the following: wonts on a bulletin board on Chesnut afreet: "N?roe In the Cars Important Decision of the Supremo Court The Itiwhts of Public Carriers The Impious Doctrine of hoctal Equality Condemned Opinion of Judpo ARuew t'ne judgment of the Lower Courts Revered." Tue cnio in poiut was that of a Christian lady, a widow, by mine Mm. Mile a member ol the Protestant Kpnco pal Church of education aod refinement. Her zeal lor the cause of her Saviour may be in ferred from the lact that lor some years nhe labored as a missionary to the beatlieu on the coa.u of Africa, aid that she is now cugaze 1 in teaching the irerdiuen of the fouth. under toe auspices of the Episcopal Church in Pennsyl vania. She bavinit occasion to travel on the West Chester Hmlroad line, was ' by a conductor of tbe train which he took poseace ou ejected from the cur. The case was tried in one ot the lower courts and decided In her favor. Tbuce on a writ of error It was carried to the Supreme t ourt of this State, and there ihe decision was reversed, ' as not'eed above, by J mitre Amiew. The est was decided in accordance wiih the laws of the State on matters of t'.iW kind, a? expjiuuVd by high judicial authority, previous to the Legisla tive enactment of Mnr'cb, lSG7,viz.: "Dedaring it an orlcofee for railroad companies to mane any distinction between paveiifjerj on account of race or co.'or." In which the ground taken by the Court, and endort.eii by the JudVe, !:(), That the carrier has a right to coutrol bis own property lor the protection of his interests aud ' the proper periorrrmuce of his duty, (b). Upon the eround of public interest, viz.: That there should be ateparation of passengers according to color, (c), N. B. The Judge's statement that the white and black races are distinct natu rally that God has made them dissimilar, and meant Viey should be separate upon the face of ttie globe. Anal here, at the outset, to answer you who may ask, vis., What have these legal matters to do with the clcarly-dehned work of the preacher of tbe Gospel? We answer they are, or should be, actuated by the following Divine command, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their trausgres r ion, and tbe house ot Jacob their sins." Also, Eitckiel 33, 7, "O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unlo tbe house of Israel; therefore thou sbiilt bear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.:' Tbu, respecting the spirit of the words of the Judge in his com ments in the decision ot the case under con sideratton, we feel bound, by our ministerial position, as also from the fact that we are iden tified with tbe oppressed and despised race of our land, to brand it as a base and glaring mis representation of the Divine character respect ing His rational creatures; for were we in fluenced by the argument of the Judge, touch ing tbe disposition of that great, wise, mercif ul, omnipotent, and Just Being in whom "we live, and move, and have our being," we should from conscientious scruples be compelled t) give up preaching the Go?pel. Whereas, we are most hippy at being able to eay, viz. : That we find a very Important part ot the work of tbe Christian ministry to be, to explain td the children of men the attributes and character ot their Creator, Preserver, and Benefactor: and their relations to Him in time nd throughout eternity. And chiefly to inform them bow He loves them as seen In the aift and voluntary sufferings and death of His only begotten Son. And further, in His com- missioning His apostles to go into all the world and pieach the Gospel to. every creature. And further, in that this great and best of Brings has "made ot one blood all nati ins that dwell on the lace of the earth." Thus, being of one common origiu, they have oiie common means of salvation, viz. : One talib, one bap tism, one God and Father of all, anl that lie, our kind Heavenly Father, in vite all " to seek Him while lie is rear, and to call upon Him while He may be found." Further, to show from His own conduct towards the world's populace, that God ia an affectionate aud an impartial Father, Re deemer, and Sanctifier. And that all men might thus confidentially approach Him St. Peter was Divinely inspired to write (after his own mind had been miraculously illuminated, and hence .his hitherto deeply rooted prejudices banished), for the consolation and enlightenment of the peoples of the world, viz., "That God is no re specter of persons; but in every nation. He that fcareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Hiin." Also, that He is rightly 'denominated a righteous aud tire Judge of the whole earth. And this brings to the more immediate con sideration of the words of the text, viz.: "iiod hath bhowed me that I should not call any man common or unclean." St. Peter beiner a Jew with all of the cherished prejudices ot his nation towards the Gentile world whs, by the Saviour, taken away from his nets and constituted "a fisher of men." Aud Go J miraculously prepared him as an effective message-bearer of these glad - tidings to the Gentile world I And also miracu lously prepHred the Gentile world, through Cor nelius, the Roman centurion, for tne reception of the same. The effect upon Peter he was led to see that ftod was not partial, as he had hitherto sup posed, towardsuny one of the nations of men in the promulgating of His plans ior their re demption and salvation. For while endeavoring to solve the problem ot the visiOD, behold, the men that came from Cornelius bad made In quiry for Simon's house, and stood before the gate, and called and asked whether Simon, which was buruanied Peter, was lodged there. While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him "Behold, three men (eelt thee. Arise, therefore, get thee down and go with them." Having reached the house of Cornelius, "he went in, and f jund many that were come together. Aud he said unto them, Ye know how that it is au unlawful tiling for a man that is a Jew to keep company with or ciine unto one of another nation.'.' Then fol low the words of the text "But God bath shewed me that I should not call auy man common or uue'ean." He then preached the gospel unto those astern ble'd, viz.: -'Then Peter opened his mouth and said, Of a truth, I perceive th it (iod is no respecter of persons, but in every nation, he that feareth Him and worketh righteous ness is accepted with Him," Therefore, we embrace this opportunity to slate (with becoming deference to the Judge whose decision and comments we are consider ing) that in this matter he lias Injuriously lefamed the Almighty, who will hold him ac countable; aud at the same time failed to bo guided by tbe oath and attributes- of his olHce. It is generally kno'wn that in our Government very official, from the Chief Magistrate of the same to tbe humblest alderman in the .Slate, piedgen himself to support the Constitution of the United States, and to discharge the duties of his oitice with impartiality, and justly to vender to every man his due. And now, in order that we may, as a Christian congre gation, intelligently exercise au opinion upjn the decision of the Siipreme Court of Pennsylvania and the comments of the Judge. We would for a moment direct your attention to a standard leual work (UouvicrV) to the definition ol a Judne, etc. He is a pu'ilic officer lawfully appointed to decide litigited questions according to law. I. Hi qualifica tions. a) Iairmilbility. (6) Before he gives an r piuiou to bo sure lie has no bias lor or auaiust eliher of the ptiiiie-. Hear the author, "If lie lias the 6lip litest bins this d'.squulltie litm for Induing the ca'e." And not only must he be impartial, hut he mint also pay blind obn riir,f. lr tlie law. whether good or bad. (ci He Is bound lo declare what lb a law Is, and uot to make it, he being Jioi an aruiunui, uat au ia. terpreter of the law. And he closet this defini tion tuns, viz., "He (the Judge) ought always erionsly to attend not to bis own wishes, but to the requisitions of the law of justloe and of religion." Knob being the clearly defined duties nd qualifications of a Judge in view of the re lation existing between Him who made tbe world and all things therein, and those who have or shall be reCeemcd through faith In the atoning blood of His dear Son we tremble for many now occupying high official positions In the land, who bv their personal acta and In fluence have, and are, offending tome of God's "little ones" than to be guilty of which, "bet ter that a milhtone were bangod about their necks, and they cast into the dopths of the BCft !' And the same great Being hath said for the guidaica of those filling the responsible posi tions ot Judges In the land, viz.: "Ye shall not rex eel persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great. Ye shall not be afraid ot the face of man, for (he judgment is God's; and tbe cause that Is too hard for thee, br na it unto me, and I will hear it:" Deute ronomy I, 17. Here, then, we may behold tho impregnable fort ot the pious orphan, widow, and the oppressed. When in prayer, they lift up iheir volets to Heaven in their behalf; the heavens aie wonderlully agitated, and the earth shaken from centre to circumference. Id this way we, my Christian hearers, may see the nature of the dlsoosition of Gd towards even the humblest of His rational creatures. Further, it was trora this view of the matter that caused us to look upon tbe Judge's com ment, to be a violent and (its spiritual etfeot) a soul-ruining misrepresentation of the Divine character, to the detriment of tho causo of God and humanity ; and, therefore, having ourselt felt the intidel'c tendency of the Judge's Ian guage we would endeavor to turn the attention of jour minds from the decision of a finite and f'allib e Judge to those of Hun who is eternal and unchangeable in Hisbeins; wisdom, power, holiness. jtiBt cc, goodness, aud truth, for He has declared by words, and demonstrated by di ede, that Ho is no respecter of persons. Yes, we repent that He has demonstrated by His providential deeds that He is no respecter of persons. For the coiroboration of this state ment, look at the Emancipation Proclamation act, by which 4,000,000 ot human btings, by a stroke ot tbe pen of our late and much lamented Chief Magistrate, were elevated from chattels to tbe dignity of freemen! This marks a new era in the progiession of civilization and Christian ity in this country, for by tils act the great crying sin of the nation, slavery, was blotted out from ber statute-books, and 'a mountain high obstacle taken off of tbe track ot tbe car of salvation, as evidenced by the general "Mace donian cry" coming from all parts of the South for teachers and preachers to "come over to help them." By which God is showing us that He is "no respecter of persons, and giving a reason why we should oall no man couimou or uncleaa." But the "Judge" says He (Ood) meant that the white and colored people should be sepa rate on tbe earth, i. ., in a social, religious, and political po.nt ot view. It may bo that the Judge based his argument on the fact that we are identified with a race which has tor over two hundred years worn the shackles of slavery. But sorely he is not ignorant of the fact that slavery is not peculiar to the negro race, as also of another tact, viz.: That servitude and slavery have been the general condition of society, In all nations, in all countries, aud at all periods of time, as history informs us that Turks, Poles, Hufsians, and that even Anglo-Saxons were, but compaiatlveiv a short time a;,o, absolutely "goods and chattels," under the name of "villeins," and as such were bought and sold in Ireland and Rome. ee life and. remains of Rev. B. B. Edwards. D. D., late of Andover Theologlcnl Seminary). And that we may profit by the contract, let us look at Enelaud to-day in the scale of civiliza tion, as compared with England about the end of the sixth century.- Then Christianity was introduced in the country by 8t. Augustine, or more commonly called St. Austin, Then be saw little Brittons out upon the auction block, whom he said "looked more like angels than himnn beings." This wonderful transforma tion we owe lo the influence of Christianity. Note some of the things which Christianity teaches, viz : That "all men are brethren," and that if a man hates his brother, he is a murderer, and by persistiug in which will be excluded from eternal life. But etiange to say, according to the views of tbofe who still endorse the sentiments of a late Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, viz: that "colored men have no rights which white men are bound to respect." Soon after the visible descent of the Holy Spirit, when the Evangelist Phi'lp was preaching the Word in Samariu, tbe Spirit f aid unto him, "Go near and join thyself unto this chariot." Acts 8, 29. Strange to say that tbe occupant of that chariot was an Ethiopian, that through the preaching of Philip he was converted, and there and then was made an heir of God and an In heritor of the kingdom of heaven, through faith in the Son ot God as tbe common Saviour of sinners. This proves the Scripture assertion, vis., that God Is no-respecter of persous, but iu every nation be that fcareth Him and worketh righteousness is accepted with Him. Aud by it we, like St. Peter, are taught to "call no man conm on or unclean." Again, observe our country when at every moment we bad every reason to expect her ruin and we ask the question, viz., What were the ciremttauces that turned the tide of for tune? We answer, such as God could and did ble! And these sable and hitherto despised loyalists, who were the humble Instruments iu the Divine Hand to save the Government, sent up a shout or universal praise to aim who, in His own good time, had broken every yoke, that they, the oppressed, might go freel Yes. the IiOid has thus made bare. 11 U arm to lead His people onward and upward. as an additional mark or which, tuts parish. after many years' persistent pleadinir, was, in .May or ims, admitted to its proper position in the Diocesan Convention. Again, another mark of the tame His authority has been acknow ledged, and His influence felt, within the present vear in our legislative halls, as is evidenc;d bv the new order of things touching the street cars, etc. Accoramg to too expressed views ot the Judge, we are led to infer that he would stay this progres". With far more reasonable ness nitgnt tie attempt to turn back the waters of that wonder of the American continent, viz., lue caittiaci iMUta'H : Udder tho sad influence of his decision. Its tone appeal to slroncly to the baser passions of the depraved and irrational, that every city and nuoiiet seems to oe tnreateued with the scene ot the noted "July riot" iu New York city. And in thinking upon this matter, the poshiou of the Judge in the nation at this crmcal period ot her hibtorv appears to our mlud like that of Pha- laoh, King ol Ki-'j'tit, vt neu In the attempt to re- enslave thj children of Israel, he and his hosts were drowned in the depth of the sea I And upon still fuitlier coubideratiou his position relative to the Chri.-tkiu Church seems to be this, viz.: MilMons of awakened touls are hasteninir to enter: but at its verv threshold there stands tho Judge, with bis description of God's disposition towards them, and, spontane ously, they turn awav from the door of the Uiinrcn confirmed lnudeis Finally, beloved, as a Christian congregation Ictus pray for the Jndue. from the lact that l.ko ourselves lie loo must one day appear at the tribunal of tho Judge of the whole csrth, when He will sav, "luaiuueh. as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, niv brethren, ve have done it unto me." O Lord, for the lie ilcenier's sake, there own and bless us all, tor over. Amen. A CoKBKqt'BNCK of Criticism. It is generally supposed that the only effect produced upon an author by the censure of a critic is con tained in a savage reply in print. The London Examiner, however, Bays, in relation to the Christmas story written by Diokena and.Wil- kie Collins: "It is well understood that the Invidious and geuHrally iale notices of the Times upon the Christinas books of last year, in which many charming stories were con demned wholesale, lieuause not written y 1 D., Las beou the cause of thi. twiu proitto tiou." , ..... pnicc & wood.
