?v power is the leading characteristics of this
Jrevival. Both saints and sinners have more stri
2in discoveries of the realities of another world
than J have ever known on any other occasion.
I trust I have said enough on -this subject,
to enable you to judge how far the character of
enthusiasm is applicable to it. Lord Little
ton in his letter on the conversion of St. Paul
observes, (and I think very justly.) that " en
thusiasm is a vain, self-righteous spirit, swell

in its religious attainments." If this defiiiiton

Never in my life have I seen more genuine

The Ilagerstown Torch Light says : The labo
to find'that Christ was all and in all in their re-1 rers on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road, west of
ligion, as well as in the religion of the gospel
Christians in their highest attainments were
most sensible of fheir entire dependence on di
vine grace ; aud it was truly affecting to hear
with what agonizing anxiety awakened sinners
inmiircd for Christ, as the only physician who
would give them help. Those who call these
things enthusiasm, ought to tell us what they
underhand by the Spirit of Christianity. In
fact, sir, this revival operates, as" our Saviour
promised the Holy Spirit when sent into the
world. It convinces of -sia of righteousness and
of judgment ; a strong confirmation to myjraind
both that the promise is divine, and this is re
markable fulfilment of it.
Tt wniild be of no little avail to object to all
this, that perhaps the professions of many of
the people were counteneiiea. oucu iu in
jection would hardly establish what it meant to
destroy. For where there reality there can be
no counterfeit ; aud desides when the general
tenor of a work is such, as to dispose the more
insincere professors to.cou. terfeit what isjright,
the work itself is genuine. But as an eye-witness
of the case, I may be permitted to declare
that the professiens of those under reiigious
convictions, were generally marked with such
a degree of engagedness, and feeling, as wilful
hvpocracy could hardly assume. The lan
guage of the heart when deeply impressed is
easily distinguished from the language of affec
tion. Upon the whole sir, I think-the" revival in
Kentuckyamong the most extraordinary that
ever' visited the church of Christ. And all
things, considered it was peculiarly adapted to
tho circumstances of the country into which it
came. Infidelity was triumphant, and religion
at tne point of expiring. Something of an ex
traordinary nature appeared necessary to ar
rest the attention of a giddy people, who were
ready to conclude that Christianity was a fable
and futurity a dream. The revival has done it.
It has confounded infidelity awed vice into si
ience, and brought numbers beyond calculation
under serious impressions.
Whilst the blessed savior was calling home
his people, and building up his church in this i
remarkable waj', opposition could not be silent, j
At this I have hinted above. But it is prop- j
er that I should observe here, that the clamor
ous oppositioiVJwhich assailed the work at its
first appearance, has in a great measure born
down before it. A large portion of those who

Wednesday, March 26.
In the Senate to-day, the bill to abolish the
Mayor's Court of Lancaster was read a third
time and passed. It also abolished the salary
of the Recorder of Philadelphia, and that of the
Recorder of Pittsburg.
The admirable Tariff Resolutions sometime
since submitted by Mr. Penrose, were then
agreed to. 16 to 11.
Mr. Bell's Small Note Bill passed through
Committee of the Whole, and the prospect of
its final passage is favorable.
The House refused to agree to the amend
ments made in the Senate to the Notary Public
bill, viz : that the people elect.
Mr. Snowden's Bank Bill was then read fi
nally and adopted, 68 to 16. It has been great
ly modified, bnt'sdll contains some sad provi
sions. Its fate is doubtful in the Senate.
The Improrement Bill was next considered,
and will come up again to-morrow:

Hcrrisburg. April 4, 1 840.
The House of Representutives was this mor
morning the scene of the most disgraceful out
rage ever penetrated within the Lsgislative
halls of Pennsylvania, A bill introduced by
Mr. McElwee to provide for the sale of public
property, bank stock. &c, was pending, which
was opposed by Mr, Higgins of Northunber-
land. During the discussion jIr. McElwee
passed across the hall to where Mr. H. sits,
