Thought?, on a. germon, • " Entitled "The Character and Influence of Abolitionism: . Sermon preached in the • First Presbyterian Church of Brooklyn, ; New-York, on Sunday evening, Dec. 9, 1360, by. REV. HENRY J. VAN DYKE. As reported for the 'New-l'ork Herald.' Washington: Henry Polkington, Prin- ter, MM. Street, 1560." . Ma. BARER friend handed me the above.serrnon with a request to review it, staAtig Iliat;:many of our professed Dereocrats:ivere much delighted with it, deeming it an unanswerable argumentin favor of slavery as a Divine institution ; and, as a consequence, against Republi cans who .would prevent the extension of such a God-established, God-ordained system of labor into the free territories of our Union ! Ido not formally review the sermon, because few who read this will probably see that ; but I believe that I have met and answered the founda lions on which the gentleman bases his proofs and arguments—or, rather, have shown that the foundation supports no such structure as he has attempted to rear up on it. His test is Ist Timothy, vi 1-5, with the expositions of DN. Barnes and Macknight. And waiving the argument to be derived from slavery among the patriarchs, he rests it on Leviticus xxv especially verses 44 to 46, which the reader-will please turn to and read, and thus save me room ; for I desire to be brief as possible. Mr. VadDyke regards this as a Divine establishment of slavery—as proof that it has the sanction and approval of God himself. And lest the Old Testament should not be received as sufficient au thority for regarding slavery as a Divine ly established and approved institution, he refers to the fact, (as he calls it,) that neither the aaviour nor his Apostles ewer uttered "ono distinct and explicit denunciation of slaveholcling," or "one precept requiring the master to emanci pate his slaves." There is a grot deal of this ad captan dum vulgus logic in the discourse, which I do not deem it necessary to state or review, as, if I can overturn the princi ples, the conclusions fall, of course. That God permits many sins and evils, originated and upheld by men, (as sla very, war,. polygamy, &c.,) is admitted. That He employs and overrules these evils for. wise and. benevolent purposes, (and therefore regulates and restrains them under certain conditions of society, that they may produce these results,) is also true. But this is not sanctioning them—they are still regarded as evils, by His moral government, and those who commit them are dealt with accordingly. Thus, trace war to its beginning, and it has its origin in some evil passion of covetousness and revenge which stamps it sinful, while its work of ruin and suf fering to innocent persons marks it as a hideous evil. Yet every war is an in strument ia. God's hand for some wise purpose, and some good is effected by it as its result. • But they who make and wage it are not, therefore, the less sinful and guilty. So with Slavery. Its be ginning is the robbing a man of his right I to himself—the greatest theft and rob bery you on commit on him. Selling him to another, cannot legalize the wrong —stolen goods, howeveroftentransferred by sale, are still stolen. And in slavery the original robbery is continually aggra vated by the daily, yearly; life-long bery of wages for. enforced labors, and the other outrages of brute force to keep in subjection,, and the transmission of the wrong to his descendants. Did Abase§ establish and approve such a system of accumulating wrong among the Jews ? Ilad it the sanetioning , smile of God ? No—it was a wrong, univer sally prevalent, before lUoses—before Abraham's day ; and it was only per mitted ; and permitted only under great and 'ameliorating restraints. To under stand this clearly, we must look at Juda ism itself. The entire system was merely preparatory—therefore, incomplete and defective in itself.. It was adapted to that people, in that age, and under their peculiar circumstances:.. It was merely the servant who should conduct the child unto the school of Christ, where he would learn the duties of manhood. Had it been perfect, it would not have been abolished, to make way for the "bet ter covenant which is established on better promises." Hence it permitted many things, under restraints which would ultimately lessen, or abolish them utterly. Take private revenge for an instance. —The Jews, like the rest of the World, then, (and to much of it, now t) were, like our Inditins, prone to revenge and oruelty. The slaying of a man in any strife, or eve 4 accident. devolved on the next of kin the duty of killing the slayer as early as possible, under penalty of public, life-long disgrace. Moses well knew that this world-nurtured blood thirstiness could not at once be rooted out ; ; hence he restrained it. The "aven ger of blood" was permitted to follow the manslayer as• before ; but six "cities of refuge" were provided, kite any of which the homicide might flee, and the "blood avenger" could not follow. ' Thus time was gained for a fair trial and for passion to cool. So with polygamy, or worse licentious ness, and unlimited divorce, They were universal—dreadfully prevalent among the Jews. The hardness of their hearts would, have defied absolute prohibition, and poor, woman would have been the greatest. suilerer., ,To save her and her ofrspring,„t:he: evils Were so restrained under wise regulations that they greatly decrea'seid: 'Fbr that of divorco, see Deut. xxiv, and Matt. xix : 3-10, and Mark x : 2-12. ' Thus, also, with slavery. God did not establish it—it was universally prev alent. The Jests were slaves in Egypt, and brought the desire for forced and unpaid labor with thorn out of their "house of bondage"—just as many of our oppressed- Irish and Germans, on land ing here, use their new powers for op pression—vote to perpetuate slavery— sigh for an "Alabama plantation and fat negro slaves !" Moses did not see fit to prohibit, utterly, this sinful desire, any more than be prohibited polygamy, con cubinage, divorce at will, or private re venge. But, as in the case of those, he placed this under rigid restraints, and positive law. Between Jew and Jew any servitude incurred could last only seven years, (Exodus xxi 2-4,)—not 49 years as Mr. Van Dyke states. If the servant. did not then choose to leave, it was extended to the year of Jubilee, never beyond that. Between Heathen and Jew, it was made so much more hu mane and easy than any slavery then known, that it became desirable to the slaves around Judea. The slave was to be well fed and clad- 7 he was to be free from excessive punishments and hard ships—if injured in any member, even the loss of a tooth, he could demand free dom as a recompense-1e was exempted from labor on all the sabbaths, festivals, and other numerous holidays under the law—he was to be regarded as one of his master's family, and had easy access to the proper tribunals for the redress of any injury or grievance—and, if he em braced Judaism, be could claim circum cision, arid admission to the church, and emancipation in six.' years, as any other Jew. How different from, and superior to, our American system of slavery And in case a slave escaped from his master, he was not to be returned into bondage again. Deuteronomy xxiii 15, 16. Thus, flied, was slavdry, restricted, re strained and ameliorated, even under the stern and imperfect Law disperis.a.tlon. It was never approved; but was hedged .. around 'as an vil .unwillingly allowed for B season. No •Jew was commanded' to hold slaves, as a duty; on commended for holding them. It is never put on the basis of the worship of .God, or mar riage, or any divine institution, as Mr. Van Dyke intimates. But it stands pre cisely on the ground of polygaMy, en limited divorce, and private revenge, which were partially permitted, necause of the barbarity aud, hard hearts of that age and' people. And the sacred retard just as much proves the divine institti tion of polygamy, uoneuhinaze, unlimited divorce, and revengeful killing for acci dental manslayin,g, as it does the divine approval of this, our yet remaining, "relic of barbarism, Slavery." . "The times of this ignorance God winked at ; but now," `under the Gospel dispensation, "com mandeth all men, everYwhere, to repent," and reform these vile and degrading in stitutions. One important fact in connection with the slavery supposed to be approved and supported by the Bible, should never be overlooked and forgotten. It was. not merely African or negro slavery; but white slavery—,the Slavery of persons of all colors,.climes and nations-LofJeW to Jew, of Greek to Greek, of 'Boman to Roman, of Gaul to Gaul, and of any or all these to the others, the world,clyer. If God, then, (in or by the Bible) estab, lished, ordained and approved slavery, it was that of the white man to the negro as well as tpatof the negro to the white I Again—it was not only the slavery of the rude and ignorant, " of the inferior races to the, superior," (as some of our professed Democrats (!) love to state it) which they so warmly glorify as being commanded by 4 -4.p.1 und supported by Dollar a Yeari the Bible!! It was the slavery of the un fortunate of all classes and conditions of society, who had been taken captives in war, stolen by pirates, or been reduced to unredeemable indebtedness by mis fortune or accident. Hence any who could pay for them, held poets, artists, philosophers, professional men, mechan ics of the highest skill, in this dreadful boildage. Women of the highest rank, greatest refinement, best education, most accomplished, elegant, puye and noble hearted, whom the chances of war, pow er of lawless violence or changes of for . tune, subjected to bondage, were thus thrown into the brutal power of any who coveted their possession—even as many of the daughters of sla,veholders their sons, as white as their masters and fa thei's, are 71k frequently sold in our Southern cities at enormous prices for base licentious purposes`! Shame on the Christian who will.pre tend(or, believing it, exult ,in the fact !) that the L'ible supports and adVocates such afoul, polluting 'system of wrong among men ! Shame on the man who can charge on 'his God the eStablishment and approval of such an institution of wrong, from its first robbery down to its last outrage ! And shame on any Amer ican who can read our Declaration 'of Independence. and profess to believe in human equality and right—to call "him= self Democrat or flepublidanwlio can feel any admiration and delight in read ing an argument designed to prove Slay. ery of any kind just and right before God or man !-- , LBut more on these subjects before we close. In my next, I will consider the plea that Christ and his Apostles approved or countenanced the Slavery of their day —that they; at least, never condemned it. A. B. G. ,Jan: 22d,1861. 'MARTIN VAN BUREN'S OPINION OP'LIN COLN At a late dinner party in New York city, es-President Van Buren, re, lated that in jisWestern tour, while President, one Lincoln, a lawyer of some local .repute, was chairman of. the recep tion committee ;, and in their formal in terview he was so much impressed with him,that he Called.to his room afterwards for more intimate discourse. He had often thought of that interview and man, and failing to hear of him inpublic life,he had set it down that a:brilliant intellect was lost to the world under the insatiate leveling of the gigantic West. • Two years ago, that man emerged, and was heard of in a senatorial contest that aroused the interests of the whole country. To-day he was heard of again as the President elect. And that mat was' Abraham Lincoln, of Springfield, 111. Mr. Van Buren gave it es.his testi mony, from the remeinberance -of more than twenty years ago, that hewas " en dowed with talents to adorn the station." ECCENTRIC- , : Miss Mary. P. Town send, daughter of the famous Dr. Town send, died recently in Boston at the , age of sixty-five years. She was reputed to be worth $lOO,OOO, yet she was never known to mingle in society or to receive any other relatives at, her house since the death of her sister, who also prefered a single life to a married one. -The only attendant which was ever permitted in the. house was a woman. Since the death of the Doctor, the carriage lime has remained closed, with carriage and harness just as he left them, and no one was allowed to enter it. When Miss Townsend was first taken ill, she'wesnd vised to consult a physician, but she re fueed and continued obdurate 'to the last. Reith'er would she allow a single person in her room whilst sick and dying, except her female servant. Like her sister, she is supposed to have left all her wealth for charitable purposes. (WA very pretty domestic comedy was enacted in New Orleans a few days since. , Mr. Ward, of Cincinnati, a well to do grocer, lost his wife, and, after much searching, found her at a boarding house in New. Orleans, where she weds abiding with her paramour, a former clerk in Ward's store. While Mr. Ward was waiting for his apparently repentant wife to gather together her duds and re turn home' with him, the couple actually succeeded in eloping a second time; call ing into requisition the zarriage in which the injured , husband had come to the boarding-house. Very wisely he con eluded to pay her little board bill, for Which the clerk strangely enough ne glected to provide, and left for Cincinnati a wiser and a little poor& man.

He was for a long time distinguished• as an elo quent advocate at the bar,. but hie repu tation as an orator outside, of Illinois and California is founded chiefly on his widely-published oration at the fttneral of his friend Broderick, one of the most powerful and stirring obituary tributes ever uttered. Mr. Baker is a tall, military looking man, of large frame, with his head, Which is partially bald, whitened with tile snows of, perhaps fifty. years. He has a high-keyed i distinct and pleasing 'Voice, and enunciation betrays a careful and correct culture. His gestures and style of speaking are animated.
