THE SCOTTISH SABBATARIANS
LOOKING TWO WAYS FOR SUNDAY.
• (From the Liverpool Mercury).
The stoppage in transitu of the Duchess of Suther-
land by the Scottish Central Railway Company ia.
a heavy blow and sore discouragement to the
Agnewites, who would make Sunday a dies non on
railways. Our esteemed contemporary, the Scots,
man, exhibits a very natural and laudable z?al to
rescue the Land of Cakes from the imputation of
being the Land of Cant, and loudly, as well as justly,
protests against the English press confounding
the Scottish nation with " a miserable minority"
of bigots, " rendered somewhat pestilent by their
secret organization." For our own humble part,.
not having been guilty of any such mistake, we.
have no anaende to make. But as we are solicitous,
to the extent of our ability, to aid in dispelling the
delusion wherever it may exist, we have much
Pleasure in exteading the publicity of the following
circular, now course of private distribution among
" safe hands," and dragged by our Scottish contem-
porary into the light it shunned.
[Here follows the circular inserted in The SUM of
Saturday, signed by Campbell and Barbour].
How well do the writers of this appeal know their
men ! What an instructive perception they have of
the influences and motives to which Sabbatarians are
amenable! " Eligible investment." Lose no time.
Railway stock is very low, and the Scottish Sabbath
is very precious. Let not the opportunity slip of
laying up treasures on earth, and treasures in heaven.
Stand by " the light of God's truth," and secure " a
guaranteed dividend of seven per cent." Companies
are combining to raise profits. Now or never let the
saints combine to purchase shares, if they would at
one and the same time advance their private fortunes
and God's glory. Make an effort. Christianity is at
stake, and the state of the share market " offers con-
siderable inducement 1" The sincerity of these men
is a very large postulate. How is it possible for the
single eye to confound magnitudes so immeasurably
disproportionate as earth or heaven, or to equalize
the importance of interests so utterly dissimilar as
the saving of souls and the securing of dividends?
One of this sect of formalists and materialists in reli-
gion, Mr. Campbell, of Tillichewan, a member of the
town council of Glasgow, declared at that council
board, that for a son or daughter to travel on a
Sunday, to sooth a dying parent's pillow, was "an
iniquity to be forcibly prevented here and fearfully"
punished hereafter." Another of the saintly crew,
Mr. Makgill Crichton, has made it a frequent public
boast at Sabbatarian gatherings, that "he would
deem it a heinous sin to travel on Sunday to be
present in the dying moments of his dearest child 1"
These sentiments have been adopted by many and
disclaimed by none of the Agnewite cabal. Yet
their hatred of a cardinal sin is of itself insufficient
to prompt them to active efforts for its prevention
their zeal in " the Sabbath cause" requires the addi-
tional stimulus of a " guaranteed dividend of seven
per cent."
This Sabbatarian agitation is of the earth most
earthy. It is repulsive to every sentiment of genuine
humanity. The honest enthusiasm even of the
wildest fanaticism will excite some spark of sympa-
thetic emotion. Into the very benediction of the
daggers on the eve of St. Bartholomew's slaughter the
genius of a Meyerbeer infuses a feeling of - the sub -
lime
" But this poor farce has neither truth, nor art,
To please the tancy'or to touch the heart.
Dirk but not awful, dismal but yet mean,
With anxious bustle moves the cumbrous scene,
Presents no objects tender or profound,
But spreads its cold unmeaning gloom around."

turday for his seat, Hickleton Hall, Yorkshire.

Tau NEW MEMBER FOR LYNN.—Lord Alexander
Lennox has declined the honour of becoming a candi-
date for the representation of the borough of Lynn. It
would appear that the Protectionists and the Peelites—
or the " Jocelynites," as the latter are called in those
parts—determined to prolong the family feud, were
divided in their choice of a candidate,-and an opposition in
the Conservative camp was threatened if either section
should persist in naming its man. Lord Alexander
Lennox wisely refused to be a party to any division of
interests, and accordingly both sides have again taken
counsel together, and, as one body, finally agreed to ia.
vice the son of Lord Stanley to become the successor of
Lord George Bentinck. The Hon. W. Stanley ne, d not
fear to tread in the steps of any man, be he who he may,
as time will show; but we warn Conservatives, whether
of Lynn or Londor, to be men, not children, in their ge-
neration. Is it fitting that in days like these, there should
be the bickerings of women upon every small occasion,
and that loyal men should be dwelling upon past griev-
ances and old antipathies, whilst the country yearns for
all the aid that united wisdom, intelligence, and honesty
can give her?—John Bull.
