"A Member," after having tbe use of our columns to ventilate the donation question, a matter la which wo bad no Interest wbrt cver, and so distinctly staled at least fv.1 , different ocoasions tbrongb the columns of tbe Record, comes at us In the very Christian-like (??) manner of a half column of personal abuse, very religiously comparing us to that mythical individual who Is sup posed to be cloven-rooted, erooked-borned, etc., etc There is nothing la particular . worthy of notice in the silly twaddle eman ating from "A Member's" fertile "nib," .

Ctiurcb at Franklin on Sunday eveniDg, April Ctb, by Rev. Joo. Peate, which was published In tbe Spectitor of last week. When mote such sermons are preached, and tbeir pre cepts reduced to practice by those who bear them, religion will be more popalar than at present: I "We are in great need of a revival of that religion that pays honest debts, and tbat doe not not opptess tbe poor and unfortun ate and swallow bp wbat little tbey have when embarrassed. We want c religion tbat bears heavily not "on tbe exceeding siufulnesss of sin" but on the exceeding ratcalify of lying, stealing, aod gambling. A religion tbat keeps tbe tongue from slan dering; tbat speaks tbe Irutb on both side, of tbe counter when trading; tbat can be trusted witt interests of tbe people without stsaling Ibe public funds; tbat can be sent to tbe Legislature without being bribed.
