..o of the union have sought the
of thodisloyaltyof Mr:Justice Woon-
ARD in his Own, speeches and letters,
and have found in them - the strongest
argument against his election. 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

It is a sad sight to see one of . the chiefs of

E COPY this morning, from the Lan
caster Express of last eVeringT, an editorial
article which adds another .to the many
Proofs. of the deliberate disloyalty
,of the
Copperhead leaders of Pennsylvania. This
article is the more significant inasmuch as
it shows that there is or has been a concert
ed movement to resort to rebellion in this
State should Justice WOODWARD not be
elected Governor: We must not reject such
evidence as this, when we remember that
the darkest anticipations of. loyal and patri
otic men in regard to the intentions of the
betrayers of the Democratic party and the
would-be destroyers of the country have
been too frequently realized. ' -
Hox.-1-Inriny J. RAymouo, editor of that
discreet and statesmanlike paper, the Nevi
York Dai/ Times, is doing effective service
to the friends of the Union cause - in Penn-,
sylvania. The speech at the hall of the Na
tional Guards was fittingly and eloquently
followed by another- fine argument before
the friends of the Government and the War
at Chestnut Hill yesterday evening. There
is something in the style and in the utte
rances df Governor RAvntom), which, added
'to the fact that - he is at the head of a great
newspaper, entirely independent of party
patronage; and therefore able to speak his
real feelings, that gives signal value to his
sentiments in this momentous crisis.
Mr. F.:W..Mughes and the Army.
To the. Editor of The Press:
Sue: I observed in The Press, of to-day, letter
purporting to be written by me, detailing a (markt , .
nation with F. W. Hughes, B.sq., in relation to the
present war.
I was surprised at seeing such a letter in your pa,
per, as I did not write it, nor authorize it to be
written—nor do I know who wrote it.
The conversation, as stated, did take plass, and
not being confidential, I mentioned it to several per
engaged in the transaction, to show the humor
of Mri Hughes upon the subject of ameliorating the
condition of drafted men's families.
But no person bad any authority to write you that
letter in my name, without my consent.
I wish you to publish this Statement in your next
paper. Your obedient servant,
.31i0. HANNAN.

Gen. Gad Eden's Letter to Jelt..Davis.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 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.
I Let me hear liana you ae evily as practicable so

NEW Yonir, Oct. 9.—The steamer Locust Point
has arrived at this port, with New Orienna dates of
the Ist inst.
The headquarters of the 19th Army Corps, under
Gneral Franklin, and part of the 13th Army Corps,
under General C. C. Washburne, were at Camp Bis
land, fifty miles from Brashear City. 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.
On the 23d of September, at one o'clock in the
morning, a raid was made on the telegraph office,
situated opposite Donaldsonville, by a band of gueril
las,-and fourteen men of the 14th New York Caval
ry, and'a telegraph operator, Mr. Allen, of Illinois,
were captured.
In consequence of this raid, and reports of bands
of guerillas being in the vicinity of Donaldsonville,
an expedition of I,qoo strong was set in motion to
clear the country in that neighborhood.
This expedition left Carrolton on the night of the
• 2Grh of September, under the command of Brigadier
General Burbridge, He reconnoitred the whole
country to'Amite river, witlimat meeting any ene

Lieutenant Earl, of the 4th Wisconsin Regiment,
in command of a squad of forty cavalrymen, marched

THE SEVENTH WAIII) SHOWS ITS HAND.
At Nineteenth and South streets, last night, there
was a general congregation of the people of the se
venth ward. If all who were present vote for the
Union, to count the votes for Mr. - Vallandigham i s
friend, Judge Woodward, will scarcely be worth
while. The torment was a grand one. 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:

My friends and fellow citizens: - While our brave
aoldiers are confronting armed rebels in the field,
we are called upon to confront their traitorous
allies here, more despicable than the infatuated
wretches who hazard their= lives in striving to
overthrow the beneficent Government bequeathed to
us by the Revolutionary fathers. 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

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

overw helming majority, to give rebellion - ifs death

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

the' hearts of the miserable 'faction of humanity

the leaders and wire-pullers of the present Demo

Redding lii. E, Church, Sixteenth and Coates streets,
by Mrs: EL A. Jones, Pa. D., commencing on Monday
next at 3 P. M., to be continued on each 'succeeding
day at the same hour. The subjects to be treated by
the lecturer commend themselves to the intelligence

ousted, as they ere by Mrs. Jones with marked
ability and adaptetiness for popular instillation, we
trust that she will have a crowded attendance. 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. From the high
character of the names endorsing her as eminently
qualified for the work in which she is engaged; we
recommend the wives and mothers - of our city to
give her a hearing. The subjects of her lectures
(six in all) will be illustrated by maps, plates, skele

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. Spear's warerooms,

by the committee (who, by the way, were iliscrimi
nating gentlemen, who took the greatest possible

of .the "Stoat" Machine was "the medal," the
specification being for "the best Sewing Machine

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

best possible manner from the very finest work to the
very heaviest needed for family purposes. The, in.

THE MAN WITE A FLEA IN like EAR.—
The man with a flea in his ear will now rank in
history by the side of the man in the Iron mask, and
the man who struck Billy Patterson. Mr. Mason is
the most essentially snubbed individual extant, and.
comparing the grand breeze winch followed his re
moval from the Trent, his rendition to the proteetbon
of the British flag, and the return to the Tower of
London of them arms that were taken out with such
a treinendous flourish of trumpets, it looks very like
going up like—a rocket to come down again like a
Stick. There was a timei when Ur. illaaon stood
high in the estimation of his countrymen, and when
he enjoyed the high privilege of obtaining hie Sun- .
day clothes at the Brown Btone Clothing Rail of
Rockhill & Wilson, Nos. 603 and 605 Chestnut street,
above Sixth. Now he is an outlaw, and can claim
no higher distinction than that of being the man
with a flea in his ear.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
SWEET CIDEI2.-
BY THE BARD OF TOWER. HALL.
My cousin Tim, an artless youth.
Takes all he hears or eees for truth:
Thus innocence is oft misled.
One day, as through the streets he walked.
Ho saw "Sweet Cider" plainly chalked
IJpon a little barrel's head.
Tim smacked Ma lips, and in he went.
And to the smiling grocer gent.
I'll take a glass of that." saya he.
The liquor was heiVre him placed,
And Tito, not panoing at a taste,
Drank all, before yon could count three
Then, with a face extremely wry,
My cousin Tim began to cry
"Oh dear oh thunder! what the deuce!
My honest friend, I am afraid
A terrible mistake you've made,
And dosed me with crab apple j ales."
Signs are deceptive—every hour
The premised sweet may prove quite soar,
Ar d tricks in every trade there are;
But in this statementimay confide :
'No fra.udful tricks are ever tried

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.
The law did not authorize or require him to give
f.7ly such certiticate, because no vacancy had ex•
leieti. and the hheriff had not given legal notice of any
election. Undtr the eironnistancee, we leave indepen
dEnt men to ie. , ' ge whether Dillon ought to be aIe:ANL--

in the modern discovery of three Pastern philantheo-

Our American Church were ignorant of the bertpteree

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

shall print your *indignat reprobation." with its list of
names, in the preface to my book, so that ill cadent give

That the nineteenth century is a century of vast lin

We have seen professedly Christian communities di

the result of all this new philanthropy? The feerfal
Judgment of God has descended to chastise these multi

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. At my ordination I
promised ''so to minister the DOCTRINT and sacraments

ae this Church hath r aces'eed the e a me'' —and certain it is
that"seen Church" had nit received the modern doc
trine of nitra-ebolitioneem at that time, as I trust she
never will receive it, because it is contrary to the sacred
Scriptures.`l also promised " with all lambled diligence
to banish and drive away from the Church all uranecnes
and strange doctrines contrary to God's Word," and I
'Thad e thole promises in the true sense which the venera
ble-Bishop White, my Ordainer, attached to them—l be
lieved, then as he believed, that our Southern brethren
committed no sin in having slaves, and that they were
men of AS much piety as any ministers in our (lemma
also I believed, no he believed, that the plain precepts
and practice of the Apostles sanctioned the inetitation,
ait'nongh, as a matter of eepecheacer, the time might
come when the South would prefer, as the North had
done. to employ free labor. Thou, promises I have kept
faithfully to this day, and if, when I am drawing near
to the end of my career, I am to be condemned and vili
ffed by you and your clergy, because I still maintain
them to the utmost of my slenoer ability, be assured,
my Right Reverend Brollier, that I shall regret the tact
mud' more'on your see not than on my own."
In conclusion, I have only to say that I feel no re
sentment for the grossly insulting. style of your mani
festo The stability and unity of the Church of God are
pe_only interests which I desire to secure and I am too
in experience to be much moved by the occasional
excesses of human Infirmity
