THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, MAY 27, 1869. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. EDITORIAL OPINION OF THE LKADINO J0DB3AL8 CPOR CCBKBNT TOPICR COMPILRD BVEBT DAT FOIl THB EVENING TBLKOBAPH. THE TWO ASSEMKUKS-THKIK COMMON CREED. J'min the A'. J'. Sit ll. It loukH as if tlx- tw o occtions of the Prcsliytc rian denomination, wlileh, witli its (ornate hriinolics, in ix-rlm,' tlio most powerful in tho nation, wcro alxmt to romo mouther ni;aiii. With no riL'lit to hcak for either, but as friend of union and harmony in all tiling, wo hone they will sneeeed in rt-Htorin the most cordial relations. NevertholcHs, as iiideicndent jour nalist, whose mission it is to pour litfht ulonir tlip pnthway of all parties and pects, we feel hound to warn our brethren of the Old School, whoso adherence to the letter of the ostmiiiHter Confession and the prelections of the Synod of port nobodv doubts, that the New School are not ripld Calvinists, but moderato Armenians rather;" or, to fijieak more correctly, they accept the creed of the irrent (iencvan with Armenian explanations, therein following the example of (iciieral Jackson, who said he had sworn to sup port the coiiHtittition an he uwli rstooit it. The truth is, the teachings of Taylor, Heccher, lieman, Barnes, and Kinney have left an impres sion upon their section of the Presbyterian Church too deep to be effaced by a mere sigh for union. .Measured by the Procrustean creed of Culvln, tho large majority of the clergy who have graduated during the past thirty years from the divinity schools at Andover, New Haven, New York, Cincinnati, Auburn, and Ohcrlin would be found too short or too long we arc not finite sure which. For example listening thlrtv-llvc years ago to a lecture beloro the Moral Philosophy class of Lane Seminar', by Dr. Lyman lSeeclier, a student, who was a I nivcrea'list and a teetotaller, like, for instance, the lion. Horace Gree ley, risked the lecturer how he could reconcile eternal punishment with the benevolence of tho Deity. Whereupon the doctor, with the speed of light, Hashed back upon him "God will never punish anybody any longer than he con tinues to siu against Ilim"; and the punishment will only be the natural consequence of his own acts; ns, If a man gets drunk and falls Into the ditch, no fire and brimstone are necessary to give him a good roasting." Now this may be sound philosophy, but is it thorough Calvinism ? We commend it to the calm consideration of Dr. McCosh, of Princeton. Again, to Bhow the light and airy style in which eminent New School divines " weru wont to treat fundamental doctrines of the Church in the acrimonious stages of this coti trorerfiy, we refer to a fact respecting tho Rev. Nathan 8. S. Beinan, D.l). Dr. Pieman, in the acinoof these quarrels, was the Moderator of the General Assembly. The contest was about the orthodoxy of a "minister since highly distin guished. Those who were present in "Philadel phia at the Republican National Convention, in 1850, which nominated Fremont to the Presi dency, will recollect tho striking appearance of a tall man with an expressive eye, his hair rapidly spriukling with grey, who" opened the convention with an eloquent prayer. This was thc Hcv. Albert Barnes, paster "of tho largest and richest Presbyterian Church in Philadel phia. About twenty years anterior to that time lie had been arraigned for heresy; and Dr. Bcman, Dr. Patton, Dr. Krebs, Dr. Ely, Dr. Green, and other divines of both schools, con tended over certain phrases in some almost for gotten sermons of Mr. Barnes, as eagerly as the. Groeks and the Trojans fought over tho dead body of Hector. The airy incident to which we more especially refer was this: The main charge upon which Mr. Barnes had been arraigned was a want of faith in original sin. lie was admitted to be sound on actual transgression, but he qncstioued whether the men of our day ought to be damned for not repenting of Adam s weakness in yield ing to Eve in the matter of tho applo. On the Moderator's return from the assembly, ho him self was taken to task by a veuera do female of his church for heterodoxy on this very point. who sought to confound him by citing .that well-known passage of Scripture, as she called it: "In Adam's fall We sinned all." Ah! replied Doctor Bcman, with a sarcastic twinkle in his cyo and a dash of Hudibras on his tongue, you ought to give tho whole pas sage : "In Adam's fall We sinned all: In Cain's murder We sinned furder; By Doctor Green Our sin is seen" meaning thereby to quote a phrase from tho complaint in a recent libel suit tho Rev. Ashbel W. Green, D. D LL.D., tho patriarch of the Thological Seminary at Princeton, who, we be lieve, had been Dr. Bcman s unsuccessful com petitor for tho Moderatorship of tho Assembly. Now, we submit to Dr. Spring and the other grave divines in session at the Brick edifice on Fifth avenue; Can the pupils of such a teacher be regarded as sound in the faith? We are reminded of the fate which awaits the Old School in their reunion with the New, by a well-known parallel passage in the history of tho Democratic party of this State. For several years they quarrelled over the Wllmot Proviso, and in 1847 they had shivered their organization on that rock of offense. Tho Barnburners, who may bo called the New School, introduced the proviso as embodying doctrines in accordance with the advanced spirit of the age. The Old School Hunkers repudiated it. and turned the Barnburners out of the Democratic church. After having avenged themselves by tho defeat of General Cass in 1843, the new lights, in the following year, proposed a reunion. Tho two wings of the Democracy met in separate Conventions at Rome in tiic summer of 18-1'J, the Hunkers sitting in tho Presbyterian Church, and the Barnburn ers in tho Baptist. William L. Marcy, Daniel S. Dickinson, and Horatio Seymour were the leading spirits in tho former, and John Van Burcn, Sanford E. Church, and Martin II. Grover in the latter. After a stormy session of three or four days they failed to agree, mainly, it was asserted, because, through the inlluence of John Vau Burcn aud Henry B. Stanton, the Barnburners insisted upon making the proviso a test f genuine Democracy. So they separated, apparently more acrimonious than ever. But Marcy and Seymour were ambitious, and, with their eonnivaucc, a mass convention of the Democracy was soon after held, irrespective of past divisions, over which James S. adsworth presided. Prince John of Liiulenwiiia was pre- ci,t mid made a soeech for union and harmony ojplcte with that persuasive eloquence of which he was so perfect a master, while Horatio Sey nmiir unilli-.d annroviiigly in the lohhy, and rwnnr M:ircv. whose name was a tower of utn.mrtii iii (be orthodox ranks of tho party, as I flip. Hunkers in a private room at a hotel ,.or I.v Hint ho had no doubt it would all como IIV'II "j fi.rlit w flu end. It did ! The Barnburners got control of "the party, and soon made Marcy Secretary of Ktnt ml Seymour Governor of New York, .i,-,...,;,,,,- nirf.inson and his inflexible adherents ,.f n,. 7m school unite into tho shade. Tho Kiinot.' explanation of this turn of allairs was, that tho Wllmot Proviso Democrats kept btop ...ill. tl.n TH-i.irresshl! spirit of tllO tilllCS, WllllO .1,.. j tvniiicd an era which hat passed ,.w,.v Ultimately, at the appropriate period. fi.i. !,,,. Hini.niiiM! elements of the Barnburner faction fused with the fragments ot other politi cal firiranizalioiis in the lonualioil ot a poweii.n party wlilcli carrieu me coiiniry iiii'imu a , war, and gave it a constitution that insures the freedom of all men within its jurisdiction. So, we apprehend, it will turn out with the Presbyterian Church when its two Assemblies have become one again. Tho radical, progres sive, audacious New School will, like the New York Barnburners, absorb tho conservative, cautious, timid Old School; for tho former are the more lively typo of tho times, and in tho vital matter of doctrinal tests are in accord with a large majority of the member of oilier deno minations culled orthodox. Tho Methodists "... , i ..... . i. ... . dlrnost without exception, nearly the entire holy I of tho Congregiitlonalista and Lutherans, thrco- I fourths of the Bnptieta and Episcopalians, a majority of the Dutch Reformed, with other smaller sects, arc in perfect unison with them in the liberal glosses wherewith they are wont to soften and ameliorate the rigid text of the creed of Calvin. This being so, wo would respectfully suggest to the two Assemblies tho appointment "of a joint committee to revise the Westminster Confession. That time-honored formula is the offspring of an age remarkable both for its bigotry and its fanaticism an age which produced Charles I and Archbishop Laud, Oliver Cromwell and Praise God Bare.boncs. The New School must be tired of trying to evado the charge of herey bv twisting (to use the language, of young Beechcr) their modern opinions into conformity with the crabbed phraseology of the seventeenth century; and ns to the Old School, thev may as well yield the point, for wo have warned them of tho" fate that awaits them ho soon as they walk into the parlor of the bold, withy brethren who are so eager to enmesh them iii their pueuliar meta physics. We live in an era of reconstruction and emendation. Within three or four years we have renovated tho Constitution of the L'nited States by amendments which reach to its very foundations. Should not the ancient Confession of Westminster likewise yield to the enlighten ing interpretations of the times? Need any phase of orthodoxy be alarmed at doctrines which have been sanctioned by Grot ins, Arininiii. Tillotson, Doddridge, Wesley, Kobert Hall, and Lyman Bcccher, and which, aside from ques tions of mere ecclesiastical polity, have received thefassent 0f eminent fathers ot the Catholic Church t THE AUSTRIAN CURRENCY SYSTEM. From the X. Y. JleraUU fi We published in yesterday's ITrrabl an exhaus tive and highly interesting review, by our Vienna correspondent, of the system and history of Austrian currency and finance, with a com parison of our own system witli that of Austria. It will be remembered bv tho reader of the Herald that we gave shortly after tho close of the war, in lsti5, a series of" similar exhaustive articles on the currency and finances of England at the conclusion of the long wars with Napo leon, and also on the financial history of our own country during the crisis of a like character. The teaching of Austrian, British, and Ameri can history is the same, and our Vienna corres pondent shows in his communication what we have urged over and over again, that it is ruinous to the best interests of the country to tamper with and unwisely contract the legal tender currency. Whenever Austria lias had an ampfc currency of such a character, the empire has been more prosperous, trade and manufactures have been more active, and the people generally in a better condition than at any other period; and whenever the bullioiiisu contracted or swept away this currency for the purpose of forcing specie payments, ruin and appalling distress to the mass ot the people inevitably followed. The same ruinous policy in England" produced, how ever, a worse state of things in that country, as its history, from 1815 to lb'-'l. or even long after, fdiows. Our correspondent justly remarks that the transfer into gold of public and private obli gations, contracted in depreciated paper, as car ried out in Great Britain and as demanded by thi! buUionisls in the United States, is, to use the language of Sir James Graham, in his pamphlet, on Corn and Currency." a fraud upon every debtor, public and private. Yet this would be the effect of forced resumption here. The debtor class that is, by far the largest portion of the community would lie ruined, and the burden of the public debt immensely increased upon the tax-payers, lor the beiielit of tho capi talists and bondlioldvrs. Whether the views of General Butler, which are advocated by our correspondent with regard to establishing a permanent paper currency, in the form of and to be called taxation money, are sound and practicable or not, there can bo no doubt that the present legal-tender currency Is best for the country, under existing circum stances, and that it ought not to bo withdrawn. Indeed there ought not to bo any other paper money. The circulation of tho national banks should be taken up and greenbacks issued in stead. We would then have a uniform and cheap currency, based directly upon the credit of tho Government, and twenty to twenty-live millions of dollars a year would be paid in taxes: for with the issue of three hundred millions of legal tenders in the place of national bank notes, a corresponding amount of interest-bearing bonds could bo cancelled. There would bo no expansion, and as the population, trade, and wealth of the country increased this Government paper money would gradually and insensibly ap proximate a specie standard. The people would leanl to like this cheap and convenient currency more as time rolled on, and in tho end, when ft would reach par with specie, they would prefer it. probably, to a metallic currency; for it would not be subject to contraction and expansion in obedience to the ebb and How of bullion or the balances of trade with other nations. Tho his tory of Austrian finances and currency, as given in the article referred to, and the views thereon expressed by the writer, are worthy the serious attention of the Government and people of this country. PRESIDENT WOOLSEY ON THE ALABAMA CASE. From the X Y. Times. We published on Tuesday morning a synopsis of two interesting lectures on tho Alabama case and the English proclamation of neutrality at tho begiuniug of our civil war, delivered by Pre sident Woolsey to tho Senior Class of Yale Col lege. Dr. Woolsey is one oi me ursi autnoruies in tills country on the topics which lie discussed and ou tho general subject of international law; yet he expressed opinions in these lectures which win expose linn to ine snarp censure aim bitter denunciation of every party demagogue in the land. He did not think that the recogni tion of' tho Confederate Government as a belli gerent power by Kuglaml proceeded from en mity to the Union, or that it was of necessity a hostile act. Ho ventured to criticizo with a good deal of sharpness some of Mr. Sumner's positions, and dissented wholly from their general tenor and effect. President Woolsey said ho wished it "dis tinctly understood that he had vol been bought up by British gold" to take this view of tho case. Undoubtedly ho w ould like to have this believed, but we presume lie is not rash enough to expect that it will be. How can any man any American of common sense expect to be cre dited witli sincerity in holding such sentiments ' How can lie possibly hold them unless ho is paid for doing it 'i Goldwin Smith may, but lie is an Englishman, "only an American pro cm.," us thu Tribuuv styles him, and lives here only, as is well understood, for the sake of a "fat pro fessorship" and the opportunity of corrupting the sentiments of the ingenuous youth of America, lie used to be. when at home, a thorough-going Yankee rather more of a Yan kee, perhaps, than the Yankees themselves. But he has got over all that, and is now generally known to be neither more nor less than a Bri tish spy, though what special thing he is to spy out, or how lie is to learn anything except by reading the newspapers, we are not aware. But for President Woolsey to agree with Gold win Smith on nice points of international law, rather than with Chandler and Sunnier and the "war horses" of the mighty West, is something that liuds its only explanation in the fact that he lias been bought over ,vith BritMi gold. Of course lie w ill deny it; ho could not do less than that. But who will put any faith in his denials? The aroused indignation of the country must look into this matter, ft may bo necessary to expel Dr- Woolsey from tho high position ho holds as President of one of the leading colleges of the country, and to put in his place some one more thoroughly imbued with the "true spirit of our Institutions" than ho is. it must not bo forgotteu that General 11 . K. Leo, who com manded the Rebel armies, is also Professor of something or other in a Southern college. Are not these coincidences somewhat alarming Jt m iy bo well for Presidents Woolsey and Leo and Professor Smith to bo packing their trunks and securing passage forborne more cougeulalclliuc. THE CHURCH IN SPAIN. From the X. Y. World. Scnor C'nstolar has mndo another "real speech, In the Cortes upon the proposition to extend a partial religious toleration in .Spain. The elo quence of this speech even in a translation is etirring, and in the orator's own words, und with the advantages of the direct and fervid personal appeal of which he availed himself to the full we can easily believe that the effect of it was clectiical. It Is strange to think of a Spanidi Senator quoting Shakespeare, and it is still stranger to find a Spanish Senate ppi eclatm r and relishing the quotation. The speech showi a range of reading which Is rem irk aide hut it also shows a faculty of thinking, ami a 'in,l,.r,i and methodical train'ngof that lacu'tv, which is more remarkable Mill. If we suppose the ex pressions of iilleetion for the Church with which I he orator sets out to be sincere, they Miow that he is capable of rising superior to the strou-.vt and most ineradicable prejudices; and il"ve suppose them to be simulated for the purpose of conciliating an audience of cliurchmeii. they form one of the liucst examples extant of ora torical art. But even the eloquence of the speech is not so notable as its wisdom. Castelar may cherish about the same religious beliefs as those, with w hicli his colleague huncr scandalized the Cortes a few weeks ago. But Castelar has the sense, which Suncr had not, to know that Spanish opinion is not advanced to the Suncr point, and so contents himself with pleading for what there is a probability, and, as it has "turned out, a certainty that he can get. This is the diller ence between a visionary and a statesmvn, a laiMciur ami a .-Miner, a Milon ami a Sumner. And Castelar has acquired this siaiesinaniiKe lianit ot mind in spile oi me strongest prepossessions to its opposite He is a scholar aud philosopher, and he come: into the Cortes from a professor's chair. The.-t drawbacks have suthecd to nullify the talent of some of the brightest men of our generation, who have been misled into abdicating their re; power for the barren boon of a parliamentary position. In France and in England, the im-ii who have been called from tho "still air of de lightful studies to devise practicable measures for the just administration of governments, have m almost every instance, conspicuously failed. That Castelar lias succeeded stamps him as one ol the very first men in Europe to-day. A WARM WELCOME FOR MR. BANKS. 1'rmii thr .V. '. Time. The news from St. Domingo must be encour aging to Mr. Banks and the other members of the excursion part' for whose expenses lie drew three thousand dollars from the House Contin gencies' Fund. The Foreign Affairs Commit tc as our readers may remember, propose to visit tho Dominicans, and talk over with President 1'aez the terms of annexation. Of course t lie Washington lawgivers calculate upon an enthu siastic welcome, ihev go to tell th,! (I irkevs that this country appreciates their auxictv for admission into the I nion: and it is assumed. naturally enough, thai thev will go into ccstacies over the prospect, and will canonize Banks A: Co. as their deliverers. This, wc say, is Air. Banks' calculation. Only with these anticip Hons could lie reconcile to his conscience the taking of three tlioiiMiiiddollurs for a St. Domin go pleasure trip. And now comes doleful new-. Instead of being delighted, the D.-miuicans are di-gu-tcd. They don't waut annexation lo the United Mates, and will not have it at anv price, ihev are incensed against Laez lor negotiating in its be half that they arc. in arms again.-t liiui. with a fair prospect of driving him int i the sea. Tin- case is not one of simple opposition. Advices epre.-eiit the feeling as one ol hatred to the man and his schemes. We have no doubt that the I nitcd States will survive the disappointment. It is provoking, certainly, to find a prize beyond our reach which schemers at Washington havi described as ready to tumble into our l ip: but we shall probably get over the mortification. We Have so many iiiacKs to educate and care lor in the Southern States that it, may be possible for us to get on without M. Doinliigo. Hut w hat will Banks do.- And what wul lie the fate ol his excursion?
