LETTERS TO MEDICUS.
NUMIlKIt EIOIIT.
My tfaar Sir : There" were several
tli in lis iu your two first letters which 1
hail intended to uotice, but did not icel
at liberty, lest our loaders should think
our discourse as lonj; r.s that of Job and
jjis friends. 15ut my seventh letter wat-:
..!.. l ..l : l . . ' . 1 T 1...1C :..
CollCI'.IUCU III I1USIU, Ull-I J. WU.-1 IIL1II III.
clii;cd to write nnoiher to remove a little
ohscurify which, 1 see by your third
letter, has. occasioned some, misappre
hension on your part. Excuse me tliete.
fere, in this endeavor to explain, and
correct also some misunderstanding on
one or two other points'
And, first, I hud no more desire than
you to engnjrc in a pnhmic diseiisVinii.
.My only purpose was to liatu & Inenuly
correspondence, forthc Nikcof eliciting
(ruth. And however much I mav have
htc:i actuated by " the desire to appear
in print," you must allow that after "X.
l'a." had lectured me lor tuiroti y,
because ho supposed I would censure
the Irishman for praying to Mary instead
of God, it was perfectly proper for me
to make the inquiry whethr the sai i's
could hear our reipiests. I did not know
what evidence would be oflerrd in suti-
port, of that belief; but was wiliiti- as
I inn now to believe, that, they -(,!
hctir, provided there is sufiicient ivi-
lining of it. When you advanced what
you considered evidence, it was my duty
to csauiine it with perlect candor, to
see whether it was siifi'wimt. I'his 1 :
endeavored to do j l"avitiu the nrgiiuicnts
ruin the fathers, however tid J should
have opportunity to consult their writ
ings, hoping you would bo able to as
sist me iu tli'.s respect. It was no lau.t
ol mine if the scripture argument you
presented seemed, ou a careful examin
ation of tho texts, entirely . int-tilficieiit
for your purpose ; nor if your philisoph.
ical argument seemed positively and (ve
ry Ftrungly) to make against you. 1
asked for evidence "scriptural ur other"
and am willing to take any other cvi.
deuce for what it is. worth. If (Jod has
spoken to any man since tho Bible was
written, as ho did to the prophets, then
the testimony of riteh a man would have
the same weight ns that of Moses or
Paul, ouly we must be sure that ho does
indeed speak God'-, word, and not his
own. And you will agree that no mere.
ly human testimony can compare in val.
ue with "the witness of God."
You say I have "seen fit to deny"
you arguments. .Not so; 1 have said
that they seem lo me inconclusive, and
have specified wherein. It was not the
doctrine, but its fnunihitum that I called
"shadowy," I called the proof 'shadowy'
beeauso it is so aimcult to get hold of.
lou disclaim pcrsoual responsibility
for your interpretation ol scripture ; as
it was not yours but that of your church.
I'ardon me, if I did you injustice it
was unintentional. I supposed you were
giving your own interpretation, just as
I gave you mir.e. When I was a child
1 took the interpretation given me by
purcuts teachers and pastors; but when
I became u man as competent as they
to judge of truth and error. I consid
ered it my duty to inquire for myself.
To the main my own judgment has been
convinced of the truth ot those things I
was taught in childhood,' but in some
points 1 have been led to think differ.
cntly. Might it not be so with you, if
you would examine the doctrine you re.
ceived by tradition from, your fathers '!
aud might you not come to the same
conclusion that I have in regard to the
docti ino under consideration, viz : that
it grew up i7r the llible was written,
aud rests entirely on human authority ''.
l!ut you do not think it riyht to ex
eicise your own judgment in the inter
pretation ol scripture ! yet we read that
"every one of us must give account of
himxi'fto God;" and "it the blind leal
the blind, both shall fall into the ditch."
Arc you willing to follow blindly a teach"
er who bliuuly Wowed his teacher, and
go back through a succession of (tn t'tit
sense, at hast ) blind guides, trusting
that the fiist of the series had the truth,
and that none of the rest have changed
it into a lie ? If there xltnitl! bs an er
ror, how will you answer it to thu Judge
that you believed whut you was taught,
though you hid iu your hands the word
of God by which you might "prove all
things," and correct the. errors of your
teachers!1 Vou consider the liihlclar
too holy tn be twisted and turned and
made to suit every whim which tho hu
man mind may conceive." Amen to
that; and precisely for this reason every
man should search tho seiipttires for
himself not (o w.est them from Iheir
true meaning, but to enquire reverently
what the true meaning is, to learn, net
what lr A., or l)r. 15. , may say, but
what doe Gudtaif and, while no until
may lord it over om consciences, we are
bound to believe and do what GW eays,
at the peril of our 6ouls.
What if God's people for thousands
of years had not the printed lliblo ?
They are responsible for their oppurtu.
uitiinj wc me for ours. 'They that Hiu

without law shall be indeed without law ;
and they that sin with the law in their
hands will bo punished if they neglect
to road nnd obey it.' Whatever you
mav think of mv interpretation, votl
must nmetnber that the burden of proof
rests with you nnd not me. I have not
undertaken to prCvc ariythin; ; but mere
ly to examine the proofs you offer in be
half of a (to me) novel doctrine.
1 tlt i nn! mean to '-sneer" nt the 'wii.
tinirs of the fathers and, tho tombstones
of martyr-",'' but merely to intimate that
those writings were no'., divinely inspired,
nnd that the " tombstones ef martyrs"
were not erected bv (lie martyrs thein-s-lvcs.
The Jews 'built the sepulchres'
id' (he prophets whom their fathers had
slain. I'onsilifif the evidence of these
inscriptions is not worthy'of the confi
dence which you repose iu it.
I do no, see that I misrepresented y ni
at all, in rcnard to the "position held by
the Messed Virgin Mary'' and her sup
ported powers of intercession. I irave
your idea, somewhat badly, thus : Ma
ry stands at so great favor at the court
ot Heaven that whatever she a-ks will
be eyanted ; nnd sin:-o "to her docs not

county on Sunday night, by a bind of
negroes. 1 lo was shoM'wicp with a shot

burned. His body was burned to a cinder.
One of the assassins walked sis miles to
another place, and reported tho murder
and burning, but stated it h id been done
by a caug of white men. Several of the
neighbors visited the place, questioned
the negroes, and their statements being
so contradictory, examination was made,
and many of the articles taken frotu'the
house were found in thejnegro'qnarters
Two of them were arrested, but the oth

were brought to this city y ester lay, rind
