WEDNESDAY MORNING, 00!. 28, 1863. THE EPISC'OPAL CHURCH AND SEA; - - VERY. ' BISHOPS HOPKINS AND POTTER. . -‘ - ' In 1861 Bishop Hopkins, of the Dio‘eese of Vermont, wrote a letter containing e. “ Bible View of Slavery,” which sustaieed the insti-_ tntlon es ens sanctioned by the Bible. More recently the letter was extensively repub lished, and the attention which it attracted aroused the Church party hostile to Bishop Hopkins' views to the pitch of controversy. Bishop Potter, of- the Diocese of Pennsylvania, and a. number of clergymen and hymeii, 'p'tib lished, in September, a" protest against the “ Bible View of Slavery” in the words follow mg: , , . . P 3012 ST. H The subscriber's deeply regret that the fact of the extensive circulation through this diocese of a letter by ‘John Henry Hepkins, Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont.’in defence of southern slavery, compels them to make this public protest. It is not their province to mix, in any political canvass.. But as min isters of Christ, in the Protestant Episcopal Church, it‘beoomes them to deny any compli city or sympathy with such a. defense. '“ This attempt to apologise not only for sla very in the abstract. but to advocate it as it exists in the cotton States, and inStates which sell men and women in the open market as their staple product, is, in their judgment, un worthy "of any servant of Jesus Christ. As an e 59“ to sustain, on Bible principles, the States in rebellion against the Government. in the 'wioked attempt to establish’by force of arms a tyranny under the name of a republic, whose ‘ corner stone’ shall be the perpetual bondage of the African, it challenges their indignant reprobatiox'l. ‘ “Philadelphia, September, 1863.” In october Bishop Hopkioe replied to this protest in follbws: . ’ . A Warning against Infidelity in the Church— Pa‘shltal , Léflél‘. at the Right Rev. llsllup lurking-Bishop“ the~Diocene of Vermont. ngsilqipg‘ Fish}? of. ghe‘rmlestant Episcolml Church in the united sgates. , To the Right Rev. ALONZO Po'r'rnn, of the Dio cese of Pennsylvania, and the Sending Clergy of Philadelphia: I have seen, with great amaze ment, a protest against my letter on the “ Bi ble View of Slayery,” signed by you and a long list of your clergy, in which you con demn it as “ unworthy of any servant of Jesus Christ,” as ‘_‘ an eli'ort to sustain, on Bible principles, the States in rebellion against. the Government in the wicked attempt to‘estah lish, by force of arms, a tyranny in the ,name of a republic, whose corner stone shall be the perpetual bondage of the African,” and as such you say that it challenges your 6! indig nant, "probation," Now‘ my Right Reverend brother, I am sorry to 'be obliged to charge you, not only with a gross insult against your senior, but with the more serious offence of a false accusation. M-y letter 'was first published in January, 1861, more than three months before the war began,, at a time when no one could anticipate the form of government which the southern States should adopt, or the course which Congress might take in. reference to their secession.-_ And when I consented to its publication, I did not suppose that it would be used in the ser vice of any political party, although I had no right to complain, if it were so used, because the letter, once published, became public pro: party. But in its present form there is no thing whatever in it which bears on the ques tion of ‘ “rebellion,” or of the “perpetual bondage of the African,” or_of “tyranny un der the "name of a republic,” of which slavery should he the “corner stone.” 0n the con trary, I referred, on the last page, to my lec ture published in Bufi‘alo in 1350, and to my book celled ‘t The American Citizen,” pub lished in New York in 1857, where “I set forth the same views ,on the subject of slavery, adding, however, a plan for its gradual. aboli tion, whenever the South should consent, and the whole strength of the (internment could aid in its accomplishment.” “Sooner or later,” I added, “I believe that some measure of that character must be adopted. But. it be- ‘ longs to the slave States themselves to take the lead ii such a movement. And meanwhile their legal rights and natural feelings must be respected, if we would hope for unity and peace." ' With these facts before your eyes, I am to tally at aloss to imagine how even the ex travagance.“ party zeal could frame against me so bitter a denunciation. The whole object of my letter was to prove, from the Bible, that in the relation of master and slave there was necessarily no sin whatever. The sin, if there were any, lay in the treatment of the slave, and not in thezrelation itself. or course it was liable to abuse, as all human relations must be. But while it was certain that thou sands of our Christian brethren who held slaves were treating them-with kindness and justice, accordingto the Apostles’ rule, and earnestly laboring to improve the comforts and ameliorate the hardships of the institution, I held it to be a cruel and absurd charge to accuse them as sinners against the Divine law, when they were only doing what the Word of God allowed, under the Constitution and es tablished code of their country. I do not know whether your band of indig nant réprobauonists ever saw my book. pub lished in 1857, but you read it, because I dent you a copy. and Igave your ietter of acknow ledgment, in whic ,‘ while you dissented from some of my conclusions. you did it with the courtesy of a Christian gentleman. In that letter therein nothing said about my opinions being “unworthy of any servant of Jesus Christ," and nothing of "indignant reproba tio'n.” But, tempera mutantur, at nos mantamur in ill-I's. Yes! the times are indeed sadly changed, and you have changed accordingly. For many years you have met in brotherly council with these Sauthem slaveholders. You invited them to the hospitalities of your house, and paid them especial deference. The new light of Eastern Abolitionism had not yet risen within our Church, and if you then thought as you now think. you took excellent oars that no man amongst your Southern friends should know, it. Moreover, your ~favorite Theological Seminary, only three years ago, was the Vir ginia. school at Alexandria, raised to great prosperity by Bishop Meade—a slaselzolder— and I am very sure that nothing at_ variance with my Bible View of Slavery was ever taught in that institution. Yes! we may well any of you. as of many others, quantum mutatus ab illo!

Ido not intend to imitate your late style of vituperation, for I tn'sst that I have learned, even when I am reviled, not to revils again. I respect the good opinion of your clergy, and am not aware that; I have done anything to forfeit it. I respect your oflice, your talents, your personal character and the wisdom and success with which, for many, years, your Episoopate has been_oonduoted.— But I do not respect your departure from‘ the' old and well settled rule of the Church, and from the Apostolic law of Christian fairnééi and courtesy. Ido not believe in the modern discovery of those Eastern philanthropists who deny the divinity of our Redeemer. and attach no importance to, the Bible except as itvmay suit themselves. Ido not believe that the venerated founders of our American Church were ignorant of the Scriptures and blind to the principles of Gospel morality. I do, not believe that Washington and his compatriots, who framed our Constitution with such express provisions for the rights of slaveholders, were tyrants and despots—sinners against the law of God and the feelings of humanity.» But I do believe in the teaching of the inspired Apostles, and in the Holy Catholic (or univer sal) Church, which you and your clergy'also profess to believe. I know that the'doctrine of that Church was clear and unanimous on. the lawfulness of slavery for eighteen centuries together; and on\ that point I regard your “protest" and “indignant reprobation" as the idle wind that passes by. I wish you, therefore, to be advertised that I shall publish, within a few months, if a gra cious Providence should spare my life and i faculties, a full ddmenetration of the truth 1 “wherein I stand.” 'Andl shall prove in that book, by 'the most unquestionable authorities, . that slaves and slaveholders were in the Church from the beginning; that slavery was held to be consistent with Christian principle by the 1 Fathers and Councils, and by all Protestant divines and commentators, up to the very close - , of the last century, and that. this fact was uni; ‘ versal among all Churches and sects through; out the Christian world. I shall contend that \ our Church, which maintains the. primitive l rule‘of catholic consent and abjures all novel- ‘ ‘ ties, is bound, by her very Constitution, to hold fast the only safe and enduring rule, or, ‘ abandon her Apostolic claims, and descend to 1 the level of those who are “ driven about by ' every wind of doctrine.” And I shall print ‘ your " indignant reprobation," with its list of names, in the preface to my book, so that if I cannot give you jams, I may, at least, do my part to give you notoriety . That the nineteenth century is a century of vast improvement and wonderful discovery in the arts and soiencés I grant as willingly as ~ any man. But in religious truth or reverence for the Bible, the age in which we live is 3%- p __ litic in daring and impions innovation. ' e have seen profsssedly Christian communitifi?‘ divided and subdivided on every side. We having» seen the rise andspread of Universalism, Mil- , lerism, Pantheism, Mormonism, and Spiritual— ism. We have seen even our venerable Mother Church of England sorely agitated by the con— tagious fever of change, on the one hand to 'wards superstition, and on the other toward infidel rationalism. And we have heard the increasing clamor against the Bible, sometimes from the devotees of geological speculation, sometimes from the bold deniers 'of .miracles ' and prophecy, and, notieast upon the list, from j the loud-tongued apostles of anti-slavery. We have marked the orators'which cry “Down with the Bible. if it maintains the lawfulness of slavery.” We have marveled at the sena torial eloquence which proclaimed that “it was high timeto have an anti-slavery God and an anti-slavery Bible.” We have heard the Con stitution of our country denounced as a "cover ‘ hunt with death and hell.” ‘We have heard the boasted determination that the Union shall never be restored until its provisions for the protection of slavery are entirely abolished.— And what is the result of all this philanthropy if The fearful judgment of Godhas descended to chastise these multiplied ' acts of rebellion against his divine Government, and what the ' final catastrophe shall be is only known to Him who sesth the end from' the beginning- After forty years spent in the ministry, more than thirty of which have been passed in the oflice of. a Bishop, I can look back with humble thankfulness to the Giver of all good for this, at leastfthat all my best labors have been directed to the preservation of the Church from the inroads of doctrinal innovation. ‘ At my ordination I promised “so to minister the moraine and sacraments and discipline of Christ, as the Lord hath commanded, and as this Church hath received the same”—and certain it is that l‘this Church” had not received the doctrine of ultra-Abolitionism at that time, as I trust she never will receive it. because it is . contrary to the Sacred Scriptures. I also promised “with all faithful diligence to banish and drive away from the Church all erroneous and strange doctrines contrary to God's Word." and I made those promises in the true sense which the venerable Bishop White, my or dainer. attached to them—l believed then, as - he believed. that our Southern brethern com mitted no sin in having slaves, and that they were men of as much piety as any ministers in our Communion. I believed, as he believed, that the plain precepts and practice of the Apostles sanctioned, the institution. although, as a matter of expediency, the time might come when the South would prefer, as the North had done, to employ free labor. Those promises I have ~kept faithfully to this day—sud if, when I am drawing near to the end of my ca reer, I am to be condemned and vilified by you, and your clergy, because Istill maintain them to the utmost of my slender ability, be assured, my Bight Reverend Brother, that I shall re— gret the fact much more on your account than , on my own. : , In conclusion, I have only to say that I feel no resentment for the grossly insulting style of your manifesto. The stability and unity of the Church of God are the only interests which I desire to secure, and I am too old in experience to be much moved bythe occasional excesses of human infirmity. ’ Joan H.

Bonuses-os, Vt, Oct. 5, 1863- Worms Sacra—A few nights sinee one of the deputy provost marshals in J efl‘erson coun ty, Pa.., shop a woman in mistake for her hue bsnd. It is alleged that the marshal had taken a dent-tar, who escaped from him on pretence of getting dinner. He therefore took a poaee, went to the house of the deserter, and sent the posse to the rear of the house until he should apprise them of the presence of the prisoner by firing a pistol, when they should assia‘t him. in a minute hired, and when the posse came around to the door they found that the wife of the deserter hod been shot in a mistake for the husband, who the marshal thought was endeavoring to make his escape.
