THE PRESBYTERIAN BANNER AND ADVOCATE.
Washington Correspondence
WAsimcToN. March 9, 1857
The Administration of Mr. Buchanan is at
length fairly started, and his Cabinet have regu
larly entered upon their duties. Although the
east is not particularly distinguished for eminent
statesmanship or ability, it is in the main re
spectable and fair. Gen. Cass has attainments
and experience, and if lie will conform his policy
in the management of our foreign affairs to his
more recent professions, instead of those which
characterized his former course, he may succeed
in acquiring the confidence of the country. Until
some positive development be made, the public
mind will naturally be restless and anxious. Mr.
Cobb, who is assigned to the Treasury, acquired
whatever reputation he •enjoys, in the Rouse of
Representatives, where he was always regarded
as a successful debater, and a good parliamen
tarian. Mr. Thompson, who takes charge of the
Interior, belongs to the school of ultra politicians
in the South, without being personally identified
with the wing in Mississippi, which is led by Mr.
Jefferson Davis, Mr. Floyd, who hag the War
Department, has been Governor of Virginia, and
is a gentleman of excellent parts. Mr. Toucy
has abundant qualifications for the Navy; and
will doubtless conduct its concerns with efficiency
and integrity. :Mr. Brown will find the Post
Office anything - but a bed of roses, and he must
expect to employ industry and watchfulness, as
the requisites tor a successful administration of
that Department. The selection of Judge Black
for the Attorney Generalship, was a fitting compli
ment to his character and legal standing.
Whatever differences of political sentiment may
be entertained toward Mr. Buchanan, there is
every disposition on the part of his opponents to
treat him liberally, and to raise no factious cry
at the outset. We are all equally interested in a
prosperous, peaceful, and prudent administration
of the Goiernment, and no party is disposed to
throw obstacles in the way of attaining that
object. The inaugural address, while Delphic in
some of its points, still encourages the hope, that
the President will rise above the common errors
that have beset, and in several instances, over
thrown other Administrations. Mr. Buchanan
has a great inducement to make this effort, and
he has taken the first steps toward its accom
plishment, by confining his ambition to a single
term.
The decision of the Supreme Court in the
Missouri Case, was heard with regret and appre
hension by those who expected a different solu
tion of this controversy, and who see in it the
germ.of new sectional strife. Six Judges, Taney,
Catron, Wayne, Daniels, Campbell and Grier, pro
nounced the Compromise act unconstitutional.
They also decided, that negroes cannot be citizens
within the contemplation of the Constitution; and
that the ordinance of 1 87 did not confer freedom
on the North-West territory, after the adoption of
the Constitution. They also incidentally decided
that the expression "territory and other prop
erty " applied only to such territory, as belonged
to. the Union when that instrument was adopted:;
that the righti of citizens emigrating into federal
territory, and the power of the federal govern
ment there depends upon the general provisions
of the Constitution; that Congress does not pos
sess power to make laws respecting the persons
and property of citizens in federal territory, other
than such -as the Constitution confers, so it can
not constitutionally delegate any such power to a
territorial government; and lastly, that the con
dition of a slave in Missouri, is not affected by the
sojourn of such slave in another State, but on his
return, his condition still depends on the laws of
Missouri.
Judge Nelson did not touch the constitutional
question at all, but rested his concurrence on the
late decisions of the Supreme Court of Missouri.
Judges M'Lean and Curtis dissented entirely from
the conclusions of the majority, and in elaborate
and most able opinions, vindicated not only the
constitutionality of the Compromise, but the whole
power of Congress over the Territories.
By this decree the agitation of slavery is re
opened, and the judicial tribunal of last resort is
dragged into the political arena. The slavehold
er may not only carry his slave into any Terri
tour of the United States, but hold him there to
aid in shaping its institutions, under the full pro
tection of the Constitution, whether there be a
prohibition or not. It is east , to see that legisla
tion conforming to the judgment of the Court,
will be introduced at the next session, and that
the agitators on both sides will revive their, work
of discord and distraction. No political question
was ever settled by the Supreme Court. It can
determine the subject matter in controversy, but
not the principle which underlies it. Thus,"though
they pronounced, with Chief Justice 'Marshall at
their head, that the Bank of the 'United States
was constitutional, the party in Congress, stimu
lated by the hostility, of the White House, uncere
moniously reversed that decision. And more re-'
cently, when the Court, only, a few years ago, pro
flounced the Wheeling' bridge El cross the Ohio a
nuisance and obstruction to commerce, Congress
made it a post route, and thus saved the
structure.
The issue, which the Court has 'now undertaken
to determine, is one upon which the people of the
North and South are almost hopelessly divided. It
was the policy of the. Court, so far as was consist
ent with duty, to have conciliated and harmonized
the alienated feelings of these sectione. And this
might easily have been done ; for in the very be
ginning of his opinion, Judge Taney declared, ac
cording to the judgment of the Court on the first
branch of the.case, the negro Bred .Scott was not
entitled to bring an action, and therefore the
Court had no jurisdiction. With this declaration,
the case was virtually closed, and there ,was no
real necessity for • proceeding beyond it. The in
troduction of the Missouri Compromise, after-the
denial of jurisdiction, was gratuitous, and instead
of composing the sentiment of the country, will
do more to disturbit than any event which has hap
pened for a quarter of a century. •
It is yet uncertain how long the Executive See-'
signof the Senate may last. If the President
should conclude to urge his friends to take up the
Dallas Treaty, which was laid over at the regular.
Session, some time will be occupied in that discus
sion, for it'is destined' to encounter serious oppo
sition
. from the ' fillibustering interests' in that
chamber. Mr. Buchanan has had no opportunity,
thus far, to scrutinize its provisions closely,
though from a hasty perusal of its general pro
visions, be signified a willingness to accept it, be
fore leaving 'Wheatland. tie has a manifest in
terest in removing this cause of embarrassment;
and thought "a fragment of his party discourage
any concession to Great Britain, in regulating the
concerns of the Musquito Indians, and contend
for the largest liberty, in expansion along the line
of the isthmus Connexion, still, he cannot fail to
see, that to insist upon these extreme views, after
the controversy already had with England, would
be to place our relations on a very precarious
footine. As Lord Napier has just arrived at New'
York, and will immediately present his credentials
here, it will'be necessary for the President to fix
upon some distinct line of policy in this respect.
It will not hear postponement.
It is pretty well settled, that the rule of rota
tion, except in very special cases, is to be applied
to all the foreign and domestic appointments, at
the expiration of their existing commissions.
Before leaving Wheatland, Mr. BuClienan - signi- -
fied this'intentiOn in plain terms ; and he has re
cently reiterated'it here, in a-manner which must
prevent any misapprehension. So the excellent
patriots who have enjoyed the good things of
office for' the last four years, may as well begin to
pack up and prepare for their exodus, forit is
destined to 'come, even ' if compulsion should be
necessary. In this city,, there will be a good
many changes among the higher classes of offi
cials. The Assistant Secretary of State, Gen.
Thomas, and of the Treasury, Col. Washington,
I are both considered in the category of the
new principle ; and it is said Mr. Whittlesey Will
tender his resignation,
Dr.;Xane.'
The remains of this distinguished traveler and
discoverer were noticed with great honor , in their,
passage from New Orleans by way of Cincinnati,
Wheeling and Baltimore, to Philadelphia, his na
`tive place, where they are to be .interred. It is
proper to show signs of mourning for departed
benefactors, and to commemorate their virtues
and good deeds, but we must be oareful not to ex
.
ceed the , bounds of propriety. While we appre
ciate the gift,,let us, orship only the Giver.

Government, broken off all negotiation with the
British Minister ,at Paris, and would , not now
visit England. A statement opposed to this, ap
pears in a Paris Government journal.
The French Government has instructed 0 rep
resentatives at London, Vienna, St. Petersburg,
and Berlin, to invite the Governments to which
they are accredited, to join in a Conference at
Paris, for the settlement of the Neufchatel affair.
The Ministers of the above Powers resident at
Paris, will act as plenipotentiaries. The Confer
ence will meet about the beginning of March, and
it is believed will be protracted ere a satisfactory
adjustment can be arrived at.
There is nothing nearer toward a settlement of
the Danubian Principalities.
The London' orning Advertiser asserts that the
Government has received a dispatch announcing
the total destruction of Canton by the British.
The event of the week in Paris; is the speech
of the Emperor at the opening of the,last session
of the Corps Legislatif. Foreign politics do not
occupy much space in it. A few lines suffice for
the Treaty of Paris, the Prussian and Swiss dis-"
pute, the approaching evacuation of Greece, and
the.unfortunate disagreement that has arisen on
the affairs of. Naples.
A report from the Russian Minister of War de
clares that the truce concluded - with Schamyl,
during the Turkish war,• expired in May of last
year, and that operations against the Circaesians
have been resumed along the _whole line of the
Caucasus. •
Letters from St. Petersburg mention that it will
be the beginning of April before the Emperor
Alexander sets out on hie journey to Nice, and
either on his way or his return, he will visit Na
poleon at Paris.
The ratifications of the treaty ,signed- between
Russia and Persia, on the sth of January last,
were exchanged at Teheran on the 18th of the
same month. This Treaty cedes to 'Russia, a
tract of land on the frontiers of Turkey, and
situate between Bayazid and Nakhshivan, giving
to Russia a complete command of the strategic
road from. Trebizonde on the Black Sea, to the
Persian frontier by Rzeroutn. Russia has been
endeavering, since 1828, to Obtain the concession
which Persia now grants. It is added that orders
were immediately sent from St. Petersburg, to
construct a line of fortreses on the ceded tern Acciiunts from St. Petersburg, up to the 7th
inst., give a very melancholy picture of the con
tinued general distress and want, bordering upon
positive famine, existing throughout the Grand
Duchy of Finland.
There is every reason to suppose Russia has
already offered assistance to China. It is also
declared that a new secret treaty was signed be
tween Russia and Persia within the last eight
weeks..• It is known; 'from dispatches received in.
Paris, that considerable forces have been dis
patched lately toward the Chinese and Persian
frontiers.
Among the losses sustained by the burning of
the foreign factories at Canton (says the ' Chind
Mail,) is to be regretted the irreparable one of
Dr. Williams' printing establishment, including
the large fonts of. Chinese . type with which Dr.
Mcirrison's "Dictionary's was printed, and which
had been . presented' to Dr. Williams by the Eng
lish Government, in 1.844. Besides the types and
presses, there was a large stock of books on
hand, numbering in all over 10,000 volumes, and
comprising the unsold copies of the " Chinese
Repository," "Chinese . Chrestoinithi," "Eng
lish-Chinese Vocabulary," " Phrase Book," "Pre
mare's Notitia," - &c.; in short, the remaining
copies of nearly all the works which were issued
during the twenty-four years the press had been
in, operation, and some of which will never be
reprinted. Besides. these, Dr. Hatte's . valuable
collectron of botanical works has been consumed.

PEEBLRB XERE, • youngest son of Hon. John Herr,late of
Huntingdon, in.the 16th year of his age.
Gifted with a superior intellect; and possessing,lnanun
usual degree, those qualities of mind andheartwhich endear
their possessor to all who know them; an affectionate and
obedient son, a loving brother, his early and unexpected,
death' has blighted many fond hopes. While as a
child of the covenant, the purity of hisconduct; a
mind deeply imbued with Divine truth, an habitual
reverence for all things connected with reigion, great
tenderness of conscience, and
,truthfulness of character,
inspire the hope that he was one of Christ's hid
den ones, and that he has been taken from the evil to
come. " The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away;
blessed be the name of the Lord.". M.
Dnte—Near MeTeytown, Pa., on the 20th February, Mr
J. CULBERTSON LEAiOR, aged 30 years. .
Death Is an event common to men; but there are also
uncommon deaths. Every loss is not, equal. The young
and deVoted husband and father; the true 'and faithful
hiother anil friend'; the neighborly' and upright citizen;
and the exemplary Christian, form a character whose re.
moval by death would he a loss to any community. This
young man, .it is said, Lad not, an enemy; and the
COCI:COXIMe of friends and neighbori at flue funeral house,
was one ofthe largest ever known in the community. His
Illness was lingering, and gave him ranch time for refieetion
and prepat atton for the end. When the first symptom ap_.
peered, he Said, "This has come tor me." Reposing on the
merits and grace of Jesus Christ, be was calm and,patient,.
and left us in the hope l of a blegked immortality. Ouch a
death le always Mysterious; and but for the precious doe.
trine, " Oad's.woilts of providence are hie most holy, wise,
and powerful, preserving and governing all his creatures,
and all their actions," a bereavement like this would be in
supportable. To , that widowed heart, and three little fa.
tlierless ones, may the consolations of covenant love ever
abound I - . . , C.

Letter from Rev. W. LINDSAY ALEXANDER, D. D., Ed
inburgh:
.1 have examined with care the edition of the Bible
published by SI assn. Cowan & Co.. and edited by the Rev.
Dr. Lee. Itis very carefully and correctly printed, in twiner
typo. and with a neat page. .The Marginal References are
excellent, guiding the reader to realty parallel passages and
phrases, and thereby, at a little expense of labor, affording
him material assistance in the study of the Sacred Word.
The editor has, with great judgment, discarded the onerous
farrago usually heaped together under the title ef Marginal
References,. and has retained only such as tend to elucidate
the paseage'to which they relate.

"While the present edition presents a collection of Refer,
:aces tutikiently ample, and in the name of the editor, gives

made provision for easy consultation above any Reference
Bible we are acquainted with." -
Prom Rev. T. BARCLAY, D. D , Currie:
"This edition of the Bible, with References, Ao., revised
and arranged by Professor Robert Lees I regard as the moat
'valuable of the many popular editions that have been pub
lished Cf late years. Great judgment appears to have been
evinced in selecting those References only which are appro
priate.; and it will be difficult to point out an instance in
which' any Reference, deserving that character, - has been

Brom Rev. JOHN COOK, D.D , St. Andrews
"I willingly concur in recommending Messrs. Cowan &
Co.'s edition of the Bible, as containing many Referenees
well selected and conveniently arranged, and also .a select
number of the usual Marginal Readings."
Frontlier. JAMES CRAM, D. D., Glasgow:
I have no hesitation in recommending this copy of the
Scriptures as well fitted for the use of those who wish to re
fer to parallel passages when reading the Bible."
From Rev. DAVID CRICHTON, Free Church. Arbroath:
I have sometimes Been disappointed on examining pas
sages marked in some Reference Bibles as parallel, to dis
cover that they had no real, or atieast important bearing on
that with which they were made to appear connected; hav
ing. however; turned up some of Cuss given in the edition
by Messrs. Cowan & Co., already mentioned, I find them to
be most appropriate."

"I have no hesitation in saying, that by your new Refer-
Awe Bible, you have laid our Bible-reading population un
der great obligations 0 1 •
From Rev. D AVID KING, LIE. Da Glasgow:
"A judicious selection of References has been made, and
the use of them has been facilitated by placing themunder
the verses to which they relate, Marginal renderings,
which iMpeared to be Unimportant or incorrect, have been
replaced by others better fitted to illustrate the text. Such
an edition of the Scriptures will, no doubt, be Fixed by the
Christian public." • • •
From Rev. Iv ILLIAM PAUL, D. D., Bauchory.Deyenick:
i'T much approve of the new arrangement of the Refer
ences and various Renderings In the Bible - just published by
Messrs. Cowan 4ic Co."
From Rev. W. R. PUUE, Professor of Divinity,
Aberdeen:.
" T have examined your, edition of the Bible with Refer•
micas, and havemuch pleasurein certifying, that your plan of
subjoining the References appears to me welloalenlated to
facilitate a comparison of the parallel passages; and that
the selection of References seems to be judicious with view'
to the illustration of the sacred text..
From lbw. GEORGE JEFFREY, Glasgow:
"I think it especially a good Bible for the youth of our
Sabbath Schools."
From Rev. JOHN M'RAE, Havotok
"I think it a great-and decided impMvement upon the
editions in common use, and it will give me much pleasure
to recommend its circulation in the Parish."
From wrr.r.vm 'MURRAY, Melrose:
"There is no confusion among the References, or difficulty'
in 'finding them, as in other Bibles; they meet the eye at

From Rev. CHARLES THOMSON, Free Church. Wick:
" Messrs. Cowan A Co.'s edition of the Holy Scriptures
with References, is deserving of high commendation. it Is
a great improvetnenton the usual referential Bibles."
From Rev. W. K. TWEEDIE, D PO., Edinburgh:
"I have examined, with some care, the new edition of the
Bible Wool by Meters. Cowan A Co., of Edinburgh, and
most readily attest the conviction, that it is a great improve
meat upon all the editions that I have seen."
From Rev. JOHN THOMSON, Paisley:
"The plan adopted in this new edition is fftted to be of
great practical utility and advantage, both to ministers and
people.. To ministers, especially in preparing lectures on a
large portion of Scripture, it is fitted to be of great advan
tage, .by furnishing them at the end of each verse with a
limited number of well-selected parallel passages."
From Rev. ADAM THOMSON, D. D., Coldstream:
"An edition which, along with its high excellence in
every other respect, is so eminently fitted to promote and
facilitate the comparing of Scripture with Scripture, merits,
as X trust it will receive, a very wide circulation."
From Rev. JOHN WILLIE, D. D., Cariuke :
" I purpose recommending your edition to my people on
Sabbath.
From Rev. ROBERT ERATO, A.M., Rothesay :
I regard your new edition of the Bible as an important
improvement on onr Pocket Bibles, carrying, in itself, as it
dock, its own illuminative References; in general, well
chosen, and of easy applicition to whatever memo dark or
difficult"

inert? Church, and Lecturer in King's College, Aberdeen:
" Raving examined the Bible lately published by Messrs.

to its general excellence. Copious and just parallel passages

hie own Interpreter." Many of the marginal re adings. or
translations, are preferable to those that have been adopted
in the text."
Prom a Review in the SCOTSMAN NEWSPAPER:
"Its greatest merit consists in the judicious selection of
References, In the no lees judicious rejection - of many that
are inappropriate. and in the insertion vf a great number of
new parallels that solve ditliculties and correct erroneous
glosses. This Bible will assuredly become the most popular
of-ail those published with References."
Prom the GLASGOW SATURDAY POST:
"These new editions are vast improvements on any hith
erto published. The References are amply sufficient. and
have been most judiciously 'selected ; while the simplicity
and ease of Reference is everything that could be desired."

The object of this work is to show that the world. bus
hitherto 'labored under a profound mistake respecting the
116btew word givenas " Jehovah," in the Old. Testament.
The author Undertakes BY prove, by a historic philological
argument, that it wasnot "JehOwth," but " Yahveh"--that
it does iv t mean " rAin," (self existence,) hot "He Who
Will Be, or Come," (The .short, that the
"Jehovah" of the Old Testament. and the "-Christ" of
the New,' denote one and the same Being.
. [Extract from Dr. Taylor's Introductory Letter.;
The argument is altos ether new and original; and, if valid,
proves what many of the ablest theologians have believed,
with.ont reciting their' belief upon wounds so thoroughly ex
egetical. ,Itraiees a question to betnet wherever the Bible
is read-4 question in respect to a fact which it would seem,
if 'not admitted, must at least be controverted. if the view
here taken is erroneous, it is too plausible to be passedover
with indifference by the friends of truth; if true, it is of
unmeasured importance:to the Church. and the World.

IMPORTANT BIBLICAL WORK:
ANALYTICAL CONCORDANCE
of the
HOLY SCRIPTURES; • •

The Publishers would call the special attention of Clergy
men. and others, to some of the peculiar features of this
great work.
1. It is a concordance of attbjects, not of 'words. In this
reenact, it differs entirely from the common concordance;
neither is, therefore, a substitute for the other, and both are
indispensable as a part or Biblical apparatus.
2 It embraces all the topics , . secular as well as religious,
naturally suggested by the entire contents of the Bible. In
this respect it differs from Scr.ature Manuals and Topical
Teat-Books, which are confined to theological or doctrinal
topics.
3. It contains the entire contents of the Bible unabridged,
differing nothing rroq the ordinary. Bible except in arrange.
merit In this resiect it differs fromithe . class of workaJust
alluded to, which contain only a part of the Bible.
4: Where the same passage of Scripture relates to more
than one subject, it in repeated , under the appropriate head,
likthis respect, the book differs from any other of the kind,
b. It contains a Synopsis of the contents separate from
the concordance, presenting in a readable form, and in the
compass of a few pages, a bird's eye view of the whole. In
this, also, it differs from any other.
6. It contains stable of oontents, embracing nearly two
thousand heads, in alphabetical over. Thiais a degree of
feline's quite unsurpassed.
7. There is but one other work in the language, on the
same general plan ; and this not only surpasses that in full ,
uses and completeness of detail, but It offered at mach less
COOL.
No. student of the Bible would willingly dispense with
this'iriiik when once Possessed. It atLpted to assist all
criunes,clerumen and theological students, Sabbath School
snpertatendents, teachers, and Sible clinks, and those en
gaged in,tbe composition of religioue„- and even secular
works; and . , in a word, common readers of the Bible, who
havelto other: object; In Tiew'than tbetr own improvement.
