J Aunnat Session of I lie Pi sce for L.)-oiiiliig ('OUIII)'a Commonwealth t. Wx. Ahmstuono. Tliis is an application, on behalf of the Rev. Wm. S. Hal!, a minister of the gospel, of the Uaptist persuasion, for an order of this court requiring the defendant to give surcity for keeping the peace. The circumstance? of the case are these : On the lift Sunday in Febru ary last, the defendant prohibited the complain ant from administering the ordinance of bap tism, by twimerston, to his minor daughter, ed about 17, she having already been bap- lized in the Presbyterian church, to which her mother belonged. This prohibition was ac companied with threats of personal injury to the complainant if he baptized her, the defend ant declaring that he would shoot him if he did so. On the second Sabbath in April following, the complainant, having an opportunity, bap tizjd the daughter, by immersion, in the ab sence, and without the knowledge of the fa ther, and contrary to hi known and positive commands. Tins proceeding came to the knowledge of the parent afterwards, and, on the Monday after the occurrence, he fol lowed the complainant through the street, threatening him with personal injury to such an extent as to induce the present application for purely of the peace. Whatover may be the rights of the parent, i)i de fence of his child, and in thr exctcisraf hi lairful authority over il, in order to pre frfrt any act of disobedience on its part, or any interference with his authority on the part of others, it is clear that no man has a right to take the law into his own hands, lo be the judge and executioner in his own case, and in flict punishment upon those who have already injured him. This is vengeance and not de fence. Vengeance does not belong to man. The court therefore order the defendant to give surety in the turn of $"00 to keep the peace for six months towards the Rev. Win. S. Hall and all other citizens of the commonwealth. Thus far we have acted without hesitation or prohibit such attendance, and confine it to such religious teachers as he believes will bo most likely to give it correct instruction, and !o se cure its welfare here, and its eternal happiness in the world to come. He cannot force it to adopt opinions contrary to the dictates of its own conscience, but he lias a right to its time j and its attention during its minority, for the purpose of enabling him to make the cfiort incumbent on him as a father of "training it up in the way it should go." He may not compel it, against its own convictions of right to become a member of any religious denomi nation but after it has been initiated, with its own free will, into the religious communion, to which its parent belongs, he may lawfully re strain it, during its legal infancy, from vic latingthe religious obligations incurred in its behalf, by placing itself under the religious control of a minister whose opinions do not meet its parent's approbation. The pitriarchal government was csbih'ished by the Most High, and, with the necessary modifications, it exists at the present day. The authority of the parent, over the youth and in- Tlic great and good Dr. Way la nd, President 1 of Drown University, and a distinguished min ister of the Itnspcl, ofthc game denomination with the Prosecutor, declares, in his work on moral science, that 'the right of the parent is to command thedutyof the child is to obey. Au thority belongs to the one. Submission to Ihe other. 'This rclatijn' he continues, is 'estal lishcil by our Creator. The failure of one par ty does not annihilate the obligations of the other. If the parent be unreasonable this dues not release the child. lie is still hound to ho nor and obey and reverence his parent. The duty of parents is to educate their children in such a manner as they (the parents) believe will be best for their future happiness, both temporal and eternal. The parent is under ob ligations to instruct his child in those reli gious sentiments which he. thr parent believe to be according to thr wilt of Snd, With his duty in this respect no one ha a right lo inter' fere. If the parent lie in error the fault is not in teaching the child what he believe, but in believing what is false without having used the mean? which (I oil lias given him to nr experience of his offspring, rests on foundations ; rive at the truth. In such matters he is the ul- fiir more scared than the institutions of man. " Honor thy fnthci anil thy Mother" was the great law proclaimed by the king of kings. It was the first commandment accompanied with a promise of blessings upon those who o bcyed it; while the dread penalty of death was inflicted upon all who were guilty of its infraction. 'The eye that niockclh at his fa ther, and despiseth to oltcy bin mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles tdiall eat it." l'rov. ItO; 17.

These are the sentiment of a man of great learning, piety, and purity of heart of one whose fame has extended itself into every part ofthia wide spread union, and the learned and the good of other nations have been taught to know and to appreciate his exal'cd worth. I lis works will remain, after the present generation shall have passed away, an iiiiterishuble monument to his memory. The doctrines of the common law are in ac cordance with these principles. It is the du ty of the parent to maintain and educate the child, and he possesses the resulting authority keep the instruction of thy'ir, and forsake i ( cntrol il in alt things necessary to the ae- not the la wof thy mother."

It was jut remarked by the I lorry Professor of .Moral Plnlosopy, in his trea tise upon that subject, that the words "train up a child in the way it should go," imply both the right and the duty of the parent to train it up in the riht way. That is, in the way which Wie parent believes to be right. The right of the father to command, and the duty of the child to obey, is thus shown upon the authority of the Old Testament, to have been established by Cod himself. And the teachings of the New Testament abundantly prove that, in stead of being abrogated in any re-pect, the ty or moials. If the arent hould transcend his authority in this respect, an appeal dues not lie to the ministers of the (iospel of any di nomination whatever. Application for relief can only bo made to the authorities entrusted by the supremacy of the law. with the high pow er of controlling parental authority where the morals or safety of the child require such in terference. 1 IHackMone 4.'j0 ; 'i Kent's Com mentaries V.1KV.

Children, obey j tra.v'e thechild from the religious faith of its heart is in accordance with the law of nature, and wiK ever be near and dear to every good man ofevery religion under the sun. It has al ready been remarked that there is no limit to that authority save that which is necessary for the preservation of the health and morals of the child. Without the slightest disrespect lor the Baptists, for whom there is every respect fur there virtues and piety, it may safely be aflirmcd that the morals of the child were not endangered by remaining within the folds of the Presbyterian church, in which it had been baptized, and to which its mother belonged. There was therefore no just ground for inter fering with the parent's authority, or for par ticipating in the act of filial disobedience com mitted by the child. This proceeding cannot be justified under any claim founded upon the rights of conscience. The child whose rrn seiencr stimulates it into open rebellion against Ihe lawful authority of its father, stands more in need of proper insl ruction and discipline un der that authority than any other. If every child, under a claim founded upon the sup posed rights of conscience, were allowed to carry into eflect eiery decision of its immature judgment where is this to end ! Who shall prescribe limits to the crude conceptions of its youth ami experience ! Miall it In: allowed, tin ier this pretence, to violate the law of (iod ! to repudiate the Christian Keligion ! to become a J-'W or a Mahomeilau J Or, retaining the Chtistain vamr, shali it be allowed to mingle with the Motile-axe community, who make it a matter of conscience to disregard the holy in stitution of marriage ! Or, iikii this pretence, shull the beloved daughter of a Christian parent, i'l a moment of delusion, ami in the U nder years of her minority, be allow ed to become one of the secret wives of the Mom, on Prophet! It is dangerous to depart from established principles. Parental authority is not to be sub verted so long as it is exercised witiiiu the limits which the law hat prescribed. It is the luty of the parent to regulate the conscience of the child, by a proper attention to its educa tiou ; and there is no security tor tlie otlpring during the tender years of its minority, but in obedience to the authority of its parents, in all things ii of injurious to its heullh or morals. We wish it to be distinctly understood that no imputations are cast iisui the motives of Kev. Mr. Hull. We believe tliat he acted conscien tiously as he conceived to be right. But, in our opinion, lie lias transcended the divine ami biitiiHii law, in disregarding Hie authority ot'tlie- father over his ow n oll'spring while in its min ority. This is the opinion of the constitution- al authority the result of onr conscientious convictions of the law, and it is hoped that he will feci himself Is in nd lo respect it accordingly, in any after proceeding.

In the exercise of this discretion, it becomes necessary to inquire into the conduct of the parties, and to ascertain whose wrong ful act produced the necessity for this applica tion for the preservation of the public peace. If the prosecutor was acting within the line of his duty, he ought not to pay them.

"Some petition,' answer ed De Merville, the olliccr. 'Show her into our presence,' said he. The otlicer soon reappeared, with a lady leaning upon his arm, whose lace, as much as could be scanned through the thick folds ofa veil, was very beautiful. She trembled as she app'oached the door.

Then usher ing her into the sjiacioiu apartment, he bowed and retired. The trembling girl, perceiving Napoleon, on whom her fondest hopes depended, forgot herself, and her timidity; she thought only of nnoihr. Throwing hrrselfat the feet of Na poicu, she exclaimed, in a voice choked w ith emotion, 'Men y Sire, I sue for mercy ami ptrd.ai.' She could articulate no uvre.
