In words 'that cannot be recalled, be counsel led national. dishonor. He defended the :right of rebellion... He declared slavery s divine institution. He Said that if the South was resolved to leave the Union, it should be permitted to go in peace. His creed is that of CALHOUN, of the fierce and treacherous South; it is absolutely opposed to the faith .of the old Democracy, to the teachings of JA.ensolt,: and JEFFERSON, and WEBBTER, and CLAY, and DoucrAs ; to the traditions of the Republic, and to the pritt—l eiples which WAsnmerox bequeathed for • its preservation. His spirit is in hostility With the North, and in amity with the South. His declaration, that the fanaticism of the North Caused the rebellion, is a direct insult to Pennsylvania, and a miserable echo of the doctrine by which the leaders of re bellion justify their crime. Thus, affirming the divinity of - slavery, the right of rebel /ion, the responsibility of the North for the war, he is unfit to be the Governor .of a free state, unworthy of the trust of loyal men, deserving only of defeat as overwhelming :and humiliating as his principles' are odious and his purposes pernicious. True to the Union, unconditionally for - the Union, working for the Union with zeal .' -and energy which no man has surpassed, hating rebellion with all the earnestness of • his earnest nature, resolved that it shall, - with the help of God and the American people, be forever suppressed, caring only, for his country, -without one, stain upon his .xecord, ANDREW G. CURTIN appeals to the .:loyal voters of Pennsylvania with a per sonal and national right to their support. Governorof this State during the three years of the most dangerous- war America has ever known, and bearing a heavier re sponsibility than that of any of his able pre decessors, he-has fulfilled his duty. Penn - sylvania stands foremost in the line of the loyal States with this man at her head, who, if - :re-elected her magistrate, is pledged to make her ititure as glorious as her past. What :he has done- fot the Union all the North and South knows; his is no doubtful record, it is inseparably united with that of this loyal • Commonwealth, and one with that of the patriotism of America. He has never spoken :of slavery as divinely sanctioned, blamed he North for the war, or defended the right of secession. It was not he who" advised the Government to permit the Southern , States to break, up the Union peaceably. Believing that in time of war it is the duty of Americans to support the American Go vernment, and convinced that the Union is •virorth fighting for, he has energetically given his aid to the prosecution of the war; and, with the vast majority 'Of his'countrymen, ie . deter mined that the war shall only end with the submission.of the South, and the restoration, of the old Republic. In the bright light in which the two:can didates stand before the people, the Contrast between their histories, their principles, and their aims is deepened, and as the great cani paignis closing, -men-cannot fail to see in what 'antipodal oppOsition they stand.' Be, tween loyalty and disloyalty we must choose, and the fate of this nation may depend kiwi the issue. If Pennsylvania elects GEORGE W. WOODWARD, she commits herself to his principles, and gives her great influence into the hands of men hostile to the Government. But if she maintains ANDREW G. CURTIN in the high office which he honors, she pledges herself to the defence and vindication of the Government, to all that has made this -country free, and all that will keep it great. - Earnestly as we love America do, we hope for his election ; then will great principles, true patriotism, rule our future ; then will the end of the campaign be a glory for the friends of the Union, a terror to its enemies, for it will mean the end of the rebellion, Probably the most discreditable exhibi tion of the present most discreditable oppo sition to the war for the maintenance of the Federal :Union, is the last letter of Jolts H. HorRINs, "Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont," in reply to the protest against his first letter on the 'Bible view Of slavery, * signed by the Rt. Rev. laioNzo POTTER, D. D., and a large majority of the clergy men of lus diocese. This last demonstra lion of Joint H. HOPKINS appears in the -advertising columns pf our morning edition, -and it shows that whom the gods desire to destroy they first. make mad. Because, while that letter establishes the monstrous •unfairness and indecency of this Bishop Iformis, its reproduction in the columns of Trra PRESS is the result of the decision of the Copperhead leaders in the preSent eampaign. We should have voluntarily given it to our readers as one of the most effectiverweapons in favor of the cause in - which we are .engaged, and we are, there fore, naturally not sorry to lay it before them under the sanction of the paid aoad - recognized authority of these same leaders. It will.not be forgotten that the so-called Democratic State , Central , Committee cir ictilated the first letter of this Bishop Ilor saws under their solemn seal, and it is in -.simple consistency and character with this act that theydisseminate and endorse his'second and if possible' his more scandalons justifi-_ cation of his atrocious opinions on the 'grave and momentous question involved in this mighty struggle. • If the Episcopal clergy, without distinc tion of party, and with one or two now notorious exceptions, revolted from the_ letter of Bishop HOPKINS, written in 1861, and hastened to rescue themselves and their church from the sin and - shame of being held respensible for that extraordinary -paper, what Will they say for the new and insolent and . shameless, justification of that pro Auction ? We have little time, and less. mom, to point out the monstrous fallacies, 'not to Say rlsehoods; in the second letter IA the Vermont Bishop ; but what will the intelligent and Christian 'reader think of such a sentence in this l e ito as the fol. lowing ? lie ss,ys : "My letter Was first published in January, 1861; more t_llam three months before the war began, at a time when no one could anticipate the form Aof government which the Southern States should adopt, or. the course which Congress might take in reference to their secession." It is a sad sight to see one of . the chiefs of ,one of the most powerful 'Christian :churches 'in the world uttering what, unless he has • sunk into dotage, or has become the slave -of treason, is : a- bald and reckless false- hood. Did not this man know that the whole object of- the Southern traitors was to establish and to " adopt a form • of government" not simply at variance with -and in violation of the Federal GlovPj i mment, abut based solely upon the : Institution of 'Olavery ?—and yet he tel' hil the OYI- ..as US, w e deuces of this IMP: ntion on the part or. the rebels - bad be:n scattered all over our legis lative ad party history, even as late as s:anuary, 1861, "no one could anticipate the form of goVernment which the Southern States would adopt." More shameless than this is the spectacle of- a Christian leader repeating the 10 - west caluinnies against, the people of the Eastern States, of one of whicli he is - a safe and heretofore prosperous rest- dent.

S.—The following letter, from General Gadsden, of South Carolina, was found among the captured correspondence of Jefferson Da vis. It will be seen that he therein made important suggestions as to a great Federation of 'West India islands, stimulated in their prosperity and advance ment by African slavery, as now existing in the Southern States, etc. : • [PRIVAT.6.] • 21.11X1C0, 19111 July, General Davis-rßear Sir : 1 have only time be tel e the express leaves for a very brief Role, `"1 - ,' affairs of thiS Republic are:in stittUs rather retrogra ding. The Treisury minus.. The possible Ceple- Listing by the Treaty already anticipated in con. tracts to buildup a military and naval power. The latter is an absurdity. VIZ- former a necessity, to sustain the power which Santa Anna weakly aspires to. If he can command a Revenue he may haVe a brief triumph. But the ignorance of himself and Cabinet in not yielding to the spirit and progress of the age, and in vainly hoping that they can sustain the antiquated policy of monopolies and restrictions„ abandoned by every enlightened country, will prove the downfall of centrality and of tyrannical exac- tion. , . Guerrero maintains her independence ' BlMhicemn is following suit, and the recovery of State serve reignty by those two States, open to the Pacific and accessible to commerce, will enable them to sustain a separate nationality, or to force back the federa tion of States which has been absorbed under one nationality. If the leaders of Guerrero and blichi ocan understand the trumps of State Sovereignty they will achieve a victory, and either remain as se parate sovereignties or reunite with the old mem- bers under a new federation. It is eenerally under stood that the States aloug the Rio Grande, with Sonora, Zacatecas, and Durango, are hi a feverish State, and that most of the exiled republicans are in wait en the frontier, prepared to take part in the rust explosion. Information to-day from Vera Cruz reports disaffection In that quarter. It has always been a Republican State, and its pronunciamentos generally endorsed by Puebla, the most powerful of the old federation. So, you may rest satisfied of one fact, that the political elements are convulsed, and an explosion will upset centralization and restore the federation, and with suttees expose Santa Anna to another successful retreat into exile, unless, pro fiting horn experience and the iedications around, he coalesces with the Republicaus, and deserts the monarchical influences which have thus far misled and controlled him. Rumor gives him the credit of endeavoring to fraternize with the Republicans or Bloderadoe, now in conciliation with the Puree. This (if they will trust him) is his only safety valve. You will see from the proclamation of the Captain General of Cuba, that my speculations on the policy of Spain, in relation to that Island, were not extra vagant. If you will compare this document, which you can see in the Intelliw,c4r of the 15th of June, with the decree of a previous date on the propega- Ben of African slaves, that tti? l, are in harmony. The statesmen of the World are awakening to the great truths which the Harpers and the blcDuelles of my little State first foreshadowed as to African slavery. The subserviency and: the dependence of the interior to the superior cast, and the convictions on the part of the nitre abolitionists, have only in creased their rabbidnees, while the work will go on and the designs of Providence he fulfilled. Cuba, whether annexed or, lemaining a separate sove reignty from Spain and the United States, and car. rying out that policy of humanity which Pezuela has proclaimed for securing the " maintenance and pros , perity and the increase of slavery," will prove the neuemus of its restoration in the other islands,Which by an opposite and mistaken policy are rapidly laps ing into buthariem. Have you ever, in your visions, dreamt of; a great federation of West India Islands, stimulated in their prosperity and advancement by Alfrican slavery, as row existing in the Southern States! History has I never recorded such a commercial and naval Power as Cuba, St. Domingo, Porto Rico, and Jamaica, united under one federation, could rear up. The movements in Cuba make it no longer a dream of the imagination ; and if the United States, , true to her awn interests, would take the initiatory, to pro-- teat the white race in St. Domingo, and give them the opportunity of recovering their power in that Garden of Eden, from whence French incendiarism drove its Adams and its Eves, Hayti and St. Die ming° would sing anthems'to her deliverers :from harbariem, and her regeneration under the restora tion of Affrican slavery. As startling as may seem the spectilation, it is a work mole- easy of accomplishment than the vain -.efforts to Free the Black Man and to regenerate them under an Affrican ,empire. It is with con sideration, however, and becomes particularly in teresting to the. Southern States of our Federation. Without annexation, and free from those conflicts at Washington, to check southern expansion, here the Southern Planter of enterprise would find space enough and inducements enough to seek new homes for himself and domesticks in the most lovely do mains of God's creation, and all united in harmony under one homogenous American system. I must again, therefore, invite your consideration to the suggestions in my last, and of the agency I would be pleased to exercise in the examination, if not pro motion, of these 'hallucinations. I should judge, fiom the movement of Senator Douglas, that the re port of General Cazeno must have been favorable, and from his letter to the Evening Post, be seems deeply impressed with some views I have detailed, and which, I presume, must have been the objects Of that commission. I presume if diplomatic relations with St. Domin go are opened, that the General and' Mra. Flora Montgomery' will return and have charge. My views were . not to supercede those individuals who no merit the confidence, but only to be a gene ral' inspector 'through all the islands named, ex tending to_the minor, if deemed advisable, so as to be well informed as to their - state and condition, and the designs of those who at present direct their. destinies. - The resident at St. Domingo might con sult with me 'in his negotiations,and both com prehending and favoring their pchey, act in 001/. Celt to advance. We cannot. begin the work too aeon, and a most important preliminary would be, as in Japan, to secure a coal ;station at Samara. A Rendezvous of American steamers at that point would not only Word us the means of protectiug American commerce in the Indies and on the coast of South America, but to guard' and watch with a faithful eye interests which are growing up in that quarter, and which seem to have excited no little emotion in the United Staten. If the President and yourself accord to my views and wishes, all that, will be necessary will be to put at my disposal the Fulton, to be at Vera Coin in November, ao that we may have the winter months for examination, &c.

As yet, they had met with no enemy. Their foraging parties had gathered up large quantities of mules, horses, awl' cattle. The plantations were generally found to be deserted by their rebel owners. The advance of the army was delayed on account of the obstructions in the Bayou Teche. These obstructions were blown up, and Bayou Teche is now open for steamers to New Iberia.

It was the largest we have ever seen in the Seventh ward. The platform was occupied by, prominent citizens of all parties. Some of them still claim to be Democrats , and defy the Copperheads to read them out of that party ; but at this juncture they would be false to their conscience, they think, did they vote to strengthen the rebellion. The meeting was called to order by Wm. Elliott, Esq., on whose motion the following list of officers was adopted: President—William D. Lewis, Esq. -VICE "'RESIDENTS.

Our cohorte will be led, in the great contest in which we are about to eegage witn the peaceful weapons of the bal lot, by a tried patriot, who, since the commencer went of this accursed rebellion, has shown himself on all occasions worthy to be at the head of this , great Commonwealth. 'ln the course of the present can Yfik,k he liH Pommy:mil Gil Qin mountains. MA la our -valleys, in villages and 'in citiee, everyWiiere e to thousandsupon thousands of his admiring cenintry; men, his devotion to the free institutions under which we have prospered ;.his hatred of their con cealed as well as open enemies ; and his readiness to eland or fall on, our Ueion platform. - By whom are our opponents, the :Copperhead. legions, marshaled for the coming encounter?- The visor of their leader is down; and his unsarurfuloua followers profess to be content to take him on -faith, and hear hissentiments on the subject of the -war after he shall have been elected. This condition will happily condemn him to eternal silence._ But, with ail his-caution, he has spoken too much. The advo .Cate of the right of Secession, the, blasphemous ad mirer of that accursed institution whichas the cause: of all our woes, it will be for the freemen of Pennsyl vania to determine on Tuesday next whether such a man will he their Governor. The issue is fairly joined —the Copperheads have treated us frankly. It re mains for us to show them that, notwithstanding our noble State has furnished one hundred and fifty thou sand men to fight the nation's battles, there are,still left enough of true men Within her limits to crush at once and forever the venomous reptiles among•us by whom the nation's life is assailed. Let every citizen then, remember and lay it to his- heart, .when he. votes on Tuieday next, that -the ticket headed by the name of Andrew G. .Ourtin f is the ticket representing loyalty—unconditional loyalty to the Government ; and that the one bearing at its heed the name of George W. Woodward repre sents the principle of a base abandonment oFotir country's cause: It is in_ the power of Pennsylva . nia, by defeating tleat ticket on Tuesday next by an overw helming majority, to give rebellion - ifs death . blow. And Heel that she will do it. The subjoined resolutions were read by 'the Ron. Charles Gilpin 1 - 1 - hcreas. At a time.° momentous in the hietoryof our country as the present; whoa armed rebellion is striking with deadly aim at the life of oar Govern meat, and when a laost erful political -organization. - in tho hands of dis loyal leaders, has placed itself boldly on the platform of treason. it behooves every patriot to exert his utmost ability to uphold the institutions and liberties bequeath ed to us by our fathers: therefore, Bisolvtd, As the sense of this meeting. that it is the soleMc duty of every citizen to consider well the prinel... plea represented by the candidates for Mace on whose behalf their votes are to he cast on Tizesday neat R c e o tre e r, That in Andrew U.

That in the Hon. Daniel Agnew, arm can didate for the Supreme Bench, we recognize an out spoken patriot, an accomplished jn ist, and at honest man.

LOYAL DEMOCRATIC MEETING.-- CoppEß_ HEADS INTERFERE AND ARE DRIVEN OUT.—Pur suant to an advertisement published in the daily journals, and posted on .the street corner', a large concourse of the loyal Democratic citizens of Phila delphia assembled at Mechanics' Hall, Third street, below Green, last evening, to hear an address from Col. William B. Thomas, on the duty of all loyal citizens of Pennsylvania as connected with the im_ portent -contest now before the people of the State for the election of State officers. About 8 o'clock, when quite a large number had assembled, a Cop perhead of the rankest kind, an ex• Councilman of the Nineteenth ward, jumped upon the platform, and cried, with a stentortan voice, "This is a Democratic meeting, , and I call it to order by nominating John A. Winebrenner president. This call not being in accordance with the promptings of, the loyal hearts present, and also contrary to the purpose for which the meeting was called, the said Copperhead was immediately and without hesita tioddrieen from the platform at short notice. A number of , hie friendly snakes at the other end,of the room set up, a howl for Woodward and the whole ticket, which was received with groans by the loyal Democrats present, and cheer after cheer given for Andrew G. Curtin, the man of their choice and the friend of the Government. Finding the quarters rather too waire for them, they finally re tired, and on the way down stairs gave cheers for Jeff. Davis, Stonewall Jack on, and Vallandigham,which, without doubt, substantiates the fact that a Seces sion and South.loving sentiment prevails within the' hearts of the miserable 'faction of humanity galled Democrats. Many of them were recognized ad the leaders and wire-pullers of the present Demo oratie party in the Sixteenth ward ; and their idea; in attending the meeting, was to prevent the " free. dom of speech which they, claim to be deprived of. The whole affair was- concocted previously, as- one of thole Copperheads was heard to say, yesterday afternoon, that they expected to have `a rich tine of it at the loyal Democratic meeting' in ,Meohattica' Ff ' which they intended to 'take possession of themselves, and turn it into a Woodward meeting hilt they were> seriously, anti- other inglorionsly th diae,ppoined i!1 doubtedlY . evil machinations, as they un -u be in the coming election, for the ._. was always triumphant, and forever shall bE Alter the malaria left by those traitors had fol lowed in the same direction which they took, the . meeting was called to order, and Colonel Wm.

The lecturer is a'graduate of one of the female colleges; also of a female medical college, and received her professional title from the latter.

The subjects of her lectures (six in all) will be illustrated by maps, plates, skele tons, manikins, &o. ECONOMY IN CONSUMING COAL.—The fol- lowing well-timed and zeneible article to credited in the Ledger's money article of yesterday, to the 800- ton Railway Times. Read it tt Tries little wonderful that, with a decrease in the price of coal freights and a very large increase in the gross emount brought to tide water from the dif ferent mines, the dealers yet keep up the high prise to consumers. It looks very like a combination on the part of the retail coal dealers; and the result must be that a very large reduction in - the amount aced for household purposes will take place. It be hoovek families and others using fuel to be more and more careftei of their fuel. mpense. Thousands of tons of coal are carelessly and thoughtlessly burnt dating the year frynh the mere habit of the thing; but when coal goes • up from sl' per ton to $lO, it is time to utilize and economize." fas And now, having read it, we say "Amen" to the suggestion for consumers to economize in the use of fuel. But some may ask, how this is to be accom plished? We will tell them. No matter what other stove you may now be using, have it replaced at Once with one of Mr. James Spear's celebrated Anti-Dust Gas-Burning Parlor Stoves, which con sumes from 25 to 60 per cent. less coal than any other heating stove in the world. It does so because it is the only stove that burns coal at a low temperature, by which means it gives out double the quantity of heat. This stove is really—low that coal is enor mously high—the grandest economizer of the age. Every man and woman in Philadelphia should see these stoves in operation atIVIr.

HIGHEST PEEMIOM AWAEDED TO THE SLOAT ELLIPTIC FAIaILY SEWING ALACHINIC.—The late 'State Agricultural 'Fair, which closed at Nor ristown on Friday last, paid the highest compliment In its power to the Sloat Elliptic Lock-Stitch im proved Sewing and Braiding Machine, which was there exhibited in competition with all the first-class Sewing Machines in the country. The award made by the committee (who, by the way, were iliscrimi nating gentlemen, who took the greatest possible pains to arrive at fair conclusions) to the proprietors of .the "Stoat" Machine was "the medal," the specification being for "the best Sewing Machine for an family purposes," Those of our readers who •• have not yet made a practical acquain tance with this celebrated machine' should do so, as in many respects its excellence as a universal Family Machine is unequalled, whilst in prices it is more accessible to everybody. It takes in a very wide range of work,' doing mewing in the best possible manner from the very finest work to the very heaviest needed for family purposes. The, in. strument is exceedingly simple in its construction, and is hence easily managed and not liable to get out of repair, whilst for durability they are without a rival.

C NAL ODI COUNCAL.—one of the tricks by means of which the Democrats, after the lad' election. managed to hold the reins in the City Conn cile, was the foisting into the CoMmon Council of a bogus member from the. Fifth ward. This was a person who had not been a candidate before the people, for the plain and simple reason that the ward was not entid.ed to another millibar. The Sheriff's proclamation called for no inch election. and therefore neither the Democratic nor the National Union party nominated any candidate for such position. But to serve the party ends the Demecrats deemed it necessary to get nu a farce, by means of which they used a bogus member from the Fifth ward to make up a party majority in the Common .Council. A secret cabel put forth a certsinman named. lileesee, privately: five votes were returned as , having beer cast for him. and on the strength of the certificate thereof he took his seat in the Dimocratic Common Council, and was allowed to vote there and make up the patty majority. . Some of the parties concerned in this transaction were tried and convicted in the Court-of goerter Seselons. As a practical commentary, however, upon this trial and conviction, the Democratic managers in the Filth ward have nominated for Commen Conn el a person named Dillon, who was one at the parties concerned in the transactien. having signett cue carts .Scale of election en which Messer got his seat. Is jostification to Dillon -to say the , : he only did- his duty Ho knew that the:_ wbule affair was illegal.

ALONZO POTTEP., Tr , Di Bishop atlas, Dloces/ of Pennsylvania: I have seen, withgreat amazement, a protest So A lna my letter on the "Bible View of Slavery," signed bel you and a long list of your clergy, in which you Con demn it as " unworthy of anti gel-vend of Asti* CArfet as "an effort to sustain. on Bible mil the States in rebellion against the Government, in the wicked at tempt to establish. by force of arms, a tyranny in the Dgme of a republic, whose corner-stone chaff be pupate. at bondage of the African," and, as such, yon say that tt challenges your "indignant reprobation Myer. my Right Reverend brother. I am sorry to be obliged to charge you, not only with a gross insult againtet your senior, but 'with the more serious offence oC a false feeettention. My letter was first published to Sentare, 1861. snore than three months before the war began. at C time when n o one could anticipate the form of. Government which the Southern States should adopt. or the course which Congress might take in reference to their seceesfete. And when I consented to its rePabllCA lion, I did not suPPoee that it would be need in the service of any political party. although I had no right to complain if it were so used. because the letter. once yob - Imbed, beca-mcepubilc oromnts. lint In its present loom there is nothing whatever M. It which bears on titer question of '' rebellion," or of the "perpetual bonen". of the Afriean," or of ' e tyranny under the name of 61 , .11,1mblic ' whieti slavery should be the corner stone. " On the couttilly, I referred, oaths last page, to my lemere published in . 11nffselei in ISSO, and to my book called ''The Americevintizen,'" published in New York in MX, where"l set forth- teec tame views on the led of elavery. addinge helve-see, ,a plan for us prualme, abolition whenever the South *mold consent, and the whole strength of the tiovernmenreollid aid'in its ac complishment." "Sooner or later," I aided, "I be lieve that some measure of that character meet be adopted. Rot it belongs to the stave tittles themselves to take the lead In such a movement. And meanwhile their legal rights and their natural teenage must be re epected, if we would hope for unity and peace " With these facts before your eyes, ram tot ally at a lone to imagine how even the ceetravateance of party mat could Prime against rue so bitter a dimanciation. The wbole obieet of my letter was 10 pzove..frem Del Bible. that in the Mahe», of master and stave there was neree eat tly no sin whatever. The sin, if them were any, sty in the treatment of the slave, and not tenths ref anon it eel!. Of course, it was liable to abuse, as all human relations must be. But while it was certai a that thole eande e,f our Christian brethren who held aleverewers treating them with kindness and peace, according. to the Apnettes' i rile. and earnestly laboring tv iparovs - tha comforts and ameliorate the he - Males - weir the inetitaelon. I held it to be a cruel end absurd charge to accuse them as sinners againet the Divine law, when they were only cluing what the Word of God allowed, under the Gone - Wien and established Cede of trieineeentry. 1 co not know 'whether your band of Indignant repro -I,ationirts ever Saw my book. published lee], but trots iced it, became? I sent you a copy, ands 1 have your tee ter atknowled„ment, in which, while you, dissented from some of my conclusions, you did r.,mitt the courte sy of a Cla titian gentleman In that letter there is no thing rem about my opinions being " meteor' tie , of any eei va.- t of Jeeas Cheese," and nothing. of "indignant ier eba lion." Bat, tempura mutarttur. at-noe motarnter so' 11 Its. Yee! the times are beleeer sadly changed, and yen have changed accordingly. For many :tears you met in brotherly council with these Sonthern eleveholdera. Ton invited them to the hoepitalitiee of your house. anh paid them eerecial deference The new light of &stern Abolitionism had not, yet risen within car Oh arch, and if you then thought as you now think. you. took excel lent rate that no man amouget your Sonthern friends shout° know it. Moreover. your favorite Theological. Seminary, only three years ago, was thedeirginiaechool at Alexandria. raised to great prosperity by Bishop Meade, a staimeolder, and I am very aura that nothing at Terrence with my Mots view of slavery was taught in that institution. Yee we may well say of you, tee a( many others— eleanturn midattes abiltot Row dragged is the Bishop of. Pennsylvania, in three years, from his foimer course of conservatism, peace, and Scriptural consistence 1 But the Word of God hat not changed; the doctrine of the Apostles late not changed; the Constitution of oar country bieseot changed; the great standards of real ghats truth end real civic, loyalty remain lost as they were; and 1 remain along with them, notwarietawling tide bitter and unjust assault from you and your clergy. I do net intend to imitate your late style of vituperation. for I trust that 1 have learned, even when I ant reviled. not to revile again. I respect the good opinion of your clergy-, and am not aware that I have done anything to forfeit it. 1 respect your office, your talents. your per -01:14i character, and the wisdom and success with wheoh, for 1110111 , years, your Episcopate has been condnoted- But. I de not respect your departure fr in the old, and a ell-est tled rule of the Church, and from the Apostolic law of Christian fairness and courtesy. Ido not believe in the modern discovery of three Pastern philantheo- Piste who deny the divinity of oar Redeemer, and attach no importance to the Bible except as LI scry suit them selves. Ido not believe that the venerated founders of Our American Church were ignorant of the bertpteree and blind to the principles of Gospel. morality. Ido not believe that Washington ,and hia compatriots, who framed our Constitution with such express provisions for the riglete of slaveholdere, were tyrants and despots. sinners ageing. the law of God, and the feelings of hn menity. Batt do believe in the teaching of the inspired Apostles. and in the Holy. Catholic ;or universal) attack whichyou and yeur clergy also protess to believe. know that the doctrine of that Chureh was clear and unanimous en the tatefuenees o slavery- for eighteen centuries together; and on that point I regard your "protest" and " indignant reprobation" as the idle wird that passes by. I wish you, therefore, to be advised that I shall publish, within a few months. if a gracious Providence should spare my life and tactutiee, a full demonstration. •of the truth "wherein I stand" And .I. shall prove in that book, by the mote unqmstionable atehorntee, that slaves aud elwveholders were in the Church from the beginning; that slavery was held to be conaistent with. Christian principle by the fathers and council's, and by 511 Protestant divines and commentators; up to the very ethic of the last century; and that this fact was universal among all churches and sects throughout the Christian wend. I shall contend that our Church, Whlehrrt2hl.- tains the primitive ruts of catholic consent and abjures all novelties is bound, by her very constitution, to-hold fast, that only safe and enduring role, or abandon hoc apostolic claims, and deecend to the level of those who are driven about by every wind, of domelike." And I shall print your *indignat reprobation." with its list of names, in the preface to my book, so that ill cadent give you fame, I may, at least, do my part to give yen no toriety. That the nineteenth century is a century of vast lin proveMent and wonderful discovery in the arts and sciences, I grant as willingly as any man. But in reli gions troth or reverence for the Bible, the age is which we live Is prolific in daring and impious mnovati We have seen professedly Christian communities di vided and sub divided on every side. We have seen the rise and spread of Univerealism, Millerism, Pantheism, Mormons - um and :Tine:tatLem. We have seen even oar venerable McAbee Church of England sorely agitated by the contemous fever of change.on the one ~.arui cowards euperstition, and on the other towards infidel rational tem. And we have beard the increeeingclamor amulet the Bible.sometlinea from the devotees of geological specu lation, sometimes from the bola deniers of miracle, and prophecy, and, not least upon the list, from the load tongued apostles ef at test:ivory. We have merked the orators v etch cry. Down with the Bible, 11 it main tams the lawfulness of elaeery." We have marveled at the senamrial eloquence which proclaimed that it was high time to have an anti-slavery God and an anti sla very. Bible. P. ' -:We have heard the Constitution of on country denounce-dim a covenant with death and hell" We nave heard the boasteddetermiae.tion that the !Futon shall never be restored imtd provisions for the pro wtion of slavrry are utterly -abolished.- And what is the result of all this new philanthropy? The feerfal Judgment of God has descended to chastise these multi plied acts of rebellion against Me divine government. and wb at the final catastrophe shall be leerily known to him who teeth the end from the beginning. After forty years spent in the ministry, more than thirty of which have been passed in the office of a Bishop. I can look back with hnmtee thankfulness to the Giver of all good for thu s at least, that my beat labors have - been directed to the preservation of the Cnarch from the inroads of doctrinal innovadon.
