Now the text furnishes 11 proof of U10
practice of tho npostlcs with regard to
Philip lliti deacon, tho lowest order of
tlio ministry, had baptised certain con
verts In Samaria, In tho namo of tlio
Ijnrd Jesus.
By this sign llioy had rccolvod llio
Holy Spirit lor tho forgiveness of their
original tin, Tlioy had becomo chil
dren of (lod simply by adoption.
As yet llioy wcroonfy babea In Christ.
In order to "grow up into tlio measure
of tho slnturo of tho fulness of Christ "
in order to becomo men In order to
bo Iiko unto Christ nml through Him,
God's children by irraco thev must ro-
ccivo an additional supply of tho Inllu
onco of God's HoIyHplrlt operating In
tneir nouns mm lives, nun lecti upon
tho strong meat of tho word : nnd they
must bo admitted to this privilege by
tho laying on of hands of thoso whom
Uod had appointed. This Is it plain
ensn.
So when tho npostlcs which wcro nt
Jerusnlcm heard that theso Samaritans
had recolved tho word of (Jod by the
preaching of l'hlllp, and had been bap
tised by him, " they sent unto thorn
l'etcr nnd John ; who when they wcro
cotno down, prayed for thorn, nnd laid
their hands on tliciu, nnd they received
tho Holy ahost."
Since then, my friends, wo ncccpt tho
Scriptures ns God's word, nml our in
fallible guide, nnd they tell us that our
Savior taught Ills disciples concerning
all tilings pertaining to Ills Church
during tho forty days Ho sojourned
with them provlous to His ascension:
Slnco wo believo tlio nposlled they ro
quired of nnd practiced with, their con
verts only thoso things for wliich Christ
gavo them authority, becauso God has
recorded It for our cxamplo and guid
ance: And sinco Confirmation, or tho "Lay
ing ou of hands," is one ot thoso things
mentioned as being required by thorn
as n means whereby to receive n special
graco for iv special purpose:
Jluy wo not reasonably concludo that
Confirmation Is ns much required of us

pered with, and Interpreted by men of

by every wind of doctrine, that tho

live sillji women laden Kith sins, led
axeati with divers lusts: "Ever Icamina
ami never able to coma to the knowledge
of the iruiii," anu that, apostolic prae
lices aro lostsiirht of in tho dlnirv array
of modern novelties.which havo sprung
un with modern organizations.
Tho men of these times nro so prono
to pin their faith to tho opinions of tho

ennst, tiiaiiiiogospeins interpreted ny
them Is considered ns full of Inspiration
as if l'etcr, or I'aul, or John, lmd met
tliem in tlio way anu 10111 mem mo
mind of tho Lord hail changed slnco
tlio Now Testament was urst written,
and they had been scut to revise it.
And so, notwithstanding thoscrlpturo
is claimed to bo un iufnlliblo guidu uud
lias settled the question for us; out of
respect to tho various theories of differ
ent systems eoncclvedand brought forth
more lor tnc saito 01 opposition 10 uomo
than anything else, wo must notonlv
bring to tho rcscuo tlio historians of
primitive nges, but tho popular leaders
of moro modern times.
And what do they say concerning
Confirmation; wo havo heard what tho
Scrlpturo says j what do theso men say?
Tertullian, who lived loss than eighty
years after tho npostlo John, says:
ner ti ijiimii, we'll iie iiiyiuir V7. vj riiiiuii,
iWtTi bcnetlu'ltoa. imoklng ami Qitllluu upon the
lluli Spirit,
tilt ainru.
Klftv years later. Cyprian traces back
Confirmation to tho apostles, and refer
ring to tlio caso of tlio Samaritans wliich
wo huvo cited Iu tho text, says :
"This is still the custom among us.
They who nro baptized in tho church,
are presented to tho presiding officers
of tlio church, that by our prayers and
thelaying on of hands, they may recclvo
tho Holy Ghoat, and bu perfected with
tho seal of tho Lord." And near tho
snuio time. Jeroino says: "This Is tho
custom of tlio churches ; in tho caso of
biicli asnro o.ipuzed niarou in llio lesser
towns by tho priests and deacons, the
Jlishop travels out to them to lay hands
upon them for the invoking of the Holy
ixptrti." 2mi it is a wen established
fact, my friends, that for jlteen hundred
years, tins was the ut.iform custom of
tlio church, which Is, of Itself, a sulll
clent argument to many minds In favor
of Its authority and utility.
But wo havo other witnesses to sum
mon, by whom wo expect to provo to
you that it is not, as somo so ignorant
ly assert, 11 form gotten up by tho Pro
testant Kplscopal Church to distinguish

And so long as that cannot bo proven,

If tho Apostles practiced It nnd tholr

If God sanctioned It by recording Its

You know that our Lord nntl Master

Unit. J, Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, on the
Situation.
Wo find in an exchange, a speech by
tlio abovo named distinguished Demo
cratic leader, from which wo tako tho
following extract :
1 mako no pretensions to tho charac
ter of n party loader, and havo no as-
iratlons to bo considered as an archi
tect of public sentiment; yet, whilo I
entertain tho profoundest respect for
tlio opinion of tiioso who may differ.
witii moon tiusas upon oiherqucstions
must bo permitted to say that my
poor capacity can discern in it nothing
but disaster, should it becomo tho doc
trlno of tho Domocracy that theso
amendments nro In fact n part of tho
Constitution, uover to ho disturbod.
Wo cannot ulford, after having denoun
ced them so long and so truthfully, ns
frauds and outrages upon tho people,
fraught with tlio elements of certain
destruction of our form of government,
turn nround now nnd plcdgo tho
faith of tho party to their acceptnnco
and their execution. Nor, In my hum-
do Judgment, Is such n courso necessary
to success, oven if It has como to that
extremity Hint party triumph can ho
obtained only by nn abandonment of
somo political principle. Tho grcnt
heart of tho American pcoplo does not
endorso theso amendments.
Tho doctrine of tlio Kiftceth Amend
men t was repudiated by tho Uadlcal
party itself, in tho very Convention
that nominated General Grant, when
It declared, In tho second resolution of
its platform, that tho question of suff
rage, especially in tho loynl States,
rightfully belonged exclusively to tho
peoplo of tho sovernl States. Thoy
dared not go into tho canvass upon tho
coutrnry principle, for wherever tho
question of negro suffrage had been
submitted to tlio direct voto of tho peo
plu in nny of tho "loyal States," It hnd
met with an overwhelming nnd crush
lug repudiation. Missouri, bound and
manacled as shy was, voted It down by
over thirty llvo thousand majority
MIehigau voted it down by over twenty
thousand majority j 'Wisconsin by over
thirty thousand, nud Ohio by over
fifty
thousand, liven bleeding Kansas ro
pudititcd It by n majority of over soven
thousand. Nor is lids nil. With tho
principles involved in theso amend
ments its llio leading Issues between
parties, IhcfVDeinoeracy, with a little
over forty members In tho lower Houso
of tho fortieth Congress, increased Iter
representation in tho forty-second Con
gress to ono hundred and three, with
other Slides ccrtnln lo givo Democratic
majorities yot to vote. Tho simo ratio
of gain would Imvoglvon us tho forty-
third Congress ns well ns tho electoral
college, by an overwhelming majority.
DEPAIlTINO ON A COW-CATCIlEIl,
In viow of thoso facts, nfter wo hnvo
carried lino after lino, nnd entrench
ment nfter cntrenchment,of thoencmy's
works, when wo wcro on tho llood tldo
of success, nnd moving with Increasing
triumph, why wo should abandon tho
field, why wo should chnngo front nnd
sound nn Ignominious rotrent, I confess
Is utterly .beyond my powers of com
prehension. It Is n species of party
strategy entirely too deep for my con
ception, unless It is for tho purposo of
constructing n platform upon which
somo fnvorito candidate for tho Presi
dency may stand wllh safety nnd com
fort to himself, or unlc3s it be ns nn old
farmer said to mo tho other day, when
I asked his opinion of tho "now do
pal lure," that somo Impatient Demo
crats, seeing tho Iladlcal party going to
tho devil on "a down grade with tho
brakes off," havo determined to heat
them by Jumping on tho "cow-catcher,"
Qrent laughter. I repeat, I nm not a
party leader, nor do I nspiro to bo. I
am, nnd expoct to bo, n privato In tho
ranks, fighting for tho principles which
havo been tho cynosure of my political
career through llfefc but if I wcro I
should consider myself unworthy cither
of your contldonco or respect If 1 failed
to speak to you, as I hnvo on this occas
ion, frankly, candidly, sincerely, nnd
earnestly upon this question. Ap-
plauso.J
I may be mistake, but my opinion is
that tho proud old party I hnvo loved
so long will never depart from tho
land-marks of her ancient faith. Ap
plause. Whatever others may do I
havo nn nblding faith "that Kentucky,
truo to her ancient prestige, tho first to
tho chargo nnd tho last to tho retreat,
In overy contest for tho supremacy of
the Constitution nnd tho rights of tho
several States under it, will never de
sert tho standard sho so gallantly flung
to tho breeze In 1793. Qreat applause
Descending from an ancestory who
mado their homes in tho proud old
Commonwealth, when it was indeed
"tho dark and bloody ground," with
tho scalping knlfo and tomahawk
gleaning around them, and taught by
them from my earliest youth to rever
ence, with moro than filial piety, oil
tho traditions of her chivalry und her
glory, I can ask for her no prouder eu
logy from tho pen of history than that,
as sho was tho first to clearly and dis
tinctly define tho rights of herself and
her sister sovereignties, sho went down
In tho Vortex of centralization with her
glorious colors proudly flying. Orcat
applause.
Without recapltulntlng tho long cata
loguo of usurpations, outrages nnd
crimes, ngainst citizens and States alike,
which has marked tho careerof llio Usd
leal party slnco its accession to power,
tho grand results of its ten years of ad
ministration may bo summed up ns fol
lows: Tiio utter nnd absolute overthrow
of our system of Federal Government,
through pretended amendments to tho
Constitution, procured by forco anil
fraud ; and the Introduction into tho
representative body of tho pcoplo of a
largo and populous element, with Just
about as many qualifications for nn in
telligent exerclso of tho elcctlvu frun
chlso ns a gorilla from tho Jungles of Af
rica has to givo Instructions In tho In
tegral Calculus or Newton's Principia.
Groat laughter and applause.
In conclusion, my fellow-citizens, per
mit mo to remark that, in ray Judg
ment, wo nro upon tho evo of tho last
contest for civil liberty.
Perhaps for centuries to come, should
tho Democracy provo triumphant In
that conflict, tho principles of free gov
ernment will bo so firmly fixed that nil
tho storms of faction that may howl
nround them for gencrntlons will not
bo nbto to shako them from their base.

Kentucky constitutes tho vanguard, tlio
