LKTTttliS TO .11 SHI IV IS. MJMiiKit rovii. Mi dear Sir ; At tlie close of my Inst letter wo bad enmc to your citations irom the Apocalypse; ami I proposed to show why thc.e two passages have do More weight with me than tlic others you liftvc quoted in favor of your posi tion. One of tlicfo texts ch. 2, v. 20 occurs in tho messnpo to Thyalira. Christ charges the f;itlif'ul nt Tliyatira to " hold fast ; " " t!i:;t which yo have circaJy hold fast till I come. And he that oveicoii'eth ami keepcih my work: "auto the end, to him will I give power over the nations : and he shall rule thoui with a rod of iron : as the vessel jf a potter shall they be broken to shiv cr? : even rs I have received of my Fa tlirr." As I Mti J before, this seems to me to refer to the future, and not the present time ;" whi n Cinist shall re ccive the lirutiicu tor Ins inheritance and the uttermost raits of thu earth for v is posses Id Psalm. As in the text, " hold fast till J corn When Christ shall a;jraiu " come," he will come as Kiu-i not, as Lelorc, in the "form c.f a servant" and then rule over all nations, as well as the bouse of Jacob. Thm tho.-c who have suffer cd with Christ tbroimh the rprs ol trihulatiou, will rriun ithllim. Then the saints shall jh.x.csp the l-hvjdom whcicas, in all jrievious ncs they have been a "little lLck," subject to various nfilietions, generally poor and despised for '"not many of the mighty and noble arc called; but God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty. And so in eh. :, v. 10, the same thought occurs : The redeemed sin , rii .1 - . . . . i nou art worthy, iur thou wast slain nud bast redeemed us to God by thy blood, and hast made us unto our God kings and priests : end ec dull riiyri n the earh." Just before this is your remaining test Ucv. 5. 8 the four end twenty ciders having " golden vials full of odors, which arc the prayers of the saints : " which symbol I suppose was designed to teach us that God hears the prayers of the saints (A c. His peo pie living on the earth) and remembers them that they are, as it were, pre. serial before him continiialli, to be an. xwered in due f axon. These are etc- ceplcd jietllions ; prayers that have come up like scet incense before God, and have secured for the suppliants un answer of peace. Put what is there here about the " in. vocation of saints?" There is nothing to indicate that these prayers were offer, cd to the twenty-four ciders ; or that they were requested by the saints to of ier up their prayers to God. Umil this is shown, the passage avails uothing i.i proof of your doctrine. I have now cou:idered all your cita. tions from Scripture in support of your position, and indicated what seeuis to me tho true interpretation I cannot but wish you had given at least referen ces to oilier texts, which you say might have bceu adduced ; for I cannot find any except the 2Sth chapter of the first "book of Samuel. There Saul, because God would no longer answer him, seeks help from Saimi"! asking the witch of Kudor to brin him up. Put this exam, pic would not argue much in your favor, lor Samuel ti'inn d in consulting the witch and was punished for it, as ap. ' pears from 1 Chron. 10, 11. And yet this is the only example A have found in the Pible of u person still in the body making a icqucs.t of any kind to a do parted saint. The rich mau in the par able had himself departed this life, when he asked Abraham to send Lizar. us to bis relief. So that ia all the Scripture, so far as I am aware, there is not one pavijz which speaks of the paints ou earth making requests of those in Heaven iu the mariner described in ycur letters. And not only so, but there is uvt one pasfoyc which even mentions your ' doctrine " in a clear aud unn-istakablc maimer. If you lial known of one you certaiuly would Lave quoted it : for one sucfi text would have more weight lu thc argument than -all you could gather from uuiuspircd 60urce3. All your Scriptural proof is mere inference; and that uot from the plain language of tho Scripture, but your (What uppcars to lue) very far. fetched and unwarrantable interpreta tion. You do uot quote u single text from the Old Testament; aud that from tho book of Tobias which I do not dnd in the Old Testament even ou your own showing, coutaius not one word or even allusion to any " invoca tion " of saints or angels. If it were direct proof of augelio intercession," it would prove nothing in respect to the iuterecshioii of taints, uutil you thow that hrfori: the ittr ruction tuiuls trc " oq'ial to the angels " and employed in the same service ; neither of which points have I yet found in the Scrip ture. And your citations from the New Testament, so far from expressly teach ing it, have net even an allusion to uriy such doctrino or any such custom os you describe. In yonr second letter you propose to show that the doctrine in question " has been held ty the Church from the very earliest ages ; " but you do not show that it existed dnr. ing the ages when the Bible was writ ten indeed you almost seem to admit that it did not. If your doctrino had been held by Moses, Samuel and the prophets, we should be likely to find some trace cf it in their writing. If the apostles had held it, aud esteemed it as you do, I think wc should find some distinct expression of it, or nllu siou to it, in the New Testament. You seem to find plenty of such in the cata eonilis aud writings of the Fathers ; but none in th? JiiUe. I cannot but think you hold the doctrine for sonic other reason than that you believe it is taught in the Word of God. Because "it is so beautiful," " so consoling," perhaps ; us if there could bo any beauty apart from truth; or any real consolutiou from an imaginary source. juc inerc arc several otner things continued in your letters, which 1 must defer to another letter. Very truly yours. EVANGELIST. .VA'S ITEJ1S. It appears from recent experiments, conducted by the Loudon Pn cumatic Company, that one hundred and twen ty tons of goods can be feut through their eighteen miles of tubes every hour, at a cost less thin one penny to a ton per mile. The XL Wot Company's quartz crushing mill, at Columbia City, Colora do, was burued on the 10th. It took fire from the blacksmith shop, and was completely ruined. This will prove a great loss to the Territory, as it was one of the lareest there, bavins 50 stamps and containing an engine of 125 horse power. For some time past the company havo been taking out 82,000 per day. The loss is estimated at about e 100,000.

Tho result of tho recent elections, al though adverso to the Democracy, in all tho Northern States, show u'nmistako ably that this great national party, whose existence is cocvel with the Gov ernment itself, not only still lives, but it actually growing in numbers. It us cd to be said by its opponents, that the Democratic party was held together by tho "cohesive power of public plunder," that to cause its disruption it was only necessary to withdraw from it the pat ronagc of the public offices. For the lust five years all this "power," both National and State, has been wielded by the enemy, and with a spirit more re lentless aud proscriplive than was ever known in any country, and yet to-day the Democratic party is more powerful in numbers, and more coufident in the rectitude of its principles, than it ever 1 I n . ,i ...... was uciore. oav not, then, that this great national organization depends up ou the emoluments of offieo for its exis tence. Like tho sap that gives life, and vigor, and beauty to tho tender plant and the great oak, the pirinciplcs of the Democratic party give life, and strength, and beauty to our form of Government, and without which, like the plant and the oak deprived of their blood, must wither and die.
