FOR TIIE SUN.

111 n. Lorron-11 I have hitherto forborne en-

tering nn the religious part of the great question
»ow pending—as may indeed be said—between
C'itistiat►ity and Atheism, as well as between so-
cial order and confusion ; it has not been from
any insensibility to its importance. But I have
hitherto deemed are subject too saved to be
touched by an unauthorized hand : and have
thou, it, perhaps, that the Levites alone were
justified to save the Ark from being assailed.

I will not insist that I was ri►;ht. Laic as

am, I have erred, however, in caution rather that!
in negligence. Your Correspondent HooKEtt, to
whose motives I offer a most willing tribute, will
understand and at least excuse mine. I hope to
see yoOr JOurnal graced and aided by his

I see, tooohe Radical Journals occupied with
attacks upon our Church us well as our State ; and
rthe more readily admit the propriety of render-
ing one public Newspaper the vehicle of our Re-
ligion's defence, when another is made the vehicle
of its attack..

Nevertheless, Sir, the Clergy are' its proper ad-
vocates; and, in the name of that Religion, I call
them to its vindication in the Press.

In the' mean time, I will venture to suggest four
considerations, which appear to me a, conclusive
against the horrible calurnoies w:,ich the ►oiscreant

CAUI.ILE 114 S reptibliShed of the miscreant PAINF.

Ist—The judgments of- God upon Cie (i(l•eudiiug
Jae ws are iippugned as acts of wanton and
sonable cruelty.

2d—The miraculous conception of our, Messed

Sa%iour is denied, in terms too beustly for repeti-

tioti.

3d—hlis

character and demeanour upon ear

are Lallitnniated.

4th—His Ascension is denied; upon theittu.
mew,' that the time it is stated in the New testa,
ment to have occupied, tors out sufficient for all

the transactions there related to' have passed.
To these infamous assertions I reply—
Ist—That .the time
.which elapsed between
God's denunciations upon the disobedient .logs,
and the inflictions of his wrath, proves him to
have been a God of long-suffering mercy, instead
of quick-punishing vengeance; inasmuch as nearly
four hundred and fifty years were passed in fore
bearance upon Ills part, and continued impiety
upon theirs, before His wrath'Went forth.
2d—That whoso denies • Christ's miraculous
conception, cannot pretend to the tide of 'Deist
only; as he must be Atheist enough to deny the
Almighty Father's Creation of the world. If " the
Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters,"
and gave light and life to darkness and non-exist-
ence, why could not " the power.of the Highest
overshadow " ihe Virgin, and 'C that holy thing
the Son of God be born " of her ?
3d—The character and demeanour of our Saviour
are abundantly justified by the testimony of his
Enemies. The weak or corrupt Judge, who'gave
him up to the blind mob, declared puttl;ely, '' I
:lave found no fault in this man, touching those
hings whereof ye accuse him ; no, nor yet He-
rod." And again " What evil hath he done ? I
lave found no cause of death its him." And agiin.
" Behold,. I bring him forth to ye, that ye may
Luo:v that I find no faith in hint." And again
" Take ye him, and crucify'him; for I find no
fault in when he could not pacify
their clamour, PILATE took water, and washed his
hands before the multitude, saying, " I am inno-
cent of the blood of THIS JUST PEASON : see ye to
it." JUDAS also, who betrayed him, said to the
rriests and elders,—" 1 have sinned, in that 'I
have betrayed THE INNOCENT BLOOD."—
such was the testimony of our Saviour's Judge,

and of his Betrayer.
-1111--O►t this I shall merely observe, that the
Blasphemers have, more ill malice than its igno-
rance, t ken the three ddys which elapsed between
cni;liT's Death and his Resurrection, for the forty
days w!,ich elapsed between his Resurrection and
. Li, Amcenion, To the fraud or folly which

so :ins-state the question, no farther answer is
iieetlful. Too hard for conversion, too stithhorn
:or persuasion, too brutal for repent:ince, i leave
!hr Blatpitetners to the lash of the Law, which I
siticetely hope may lay open the Fool's back
There are men, whose hearts can only be giot nt
through their bodies. Our PAINeS rind CARLILZS,
worse than the PILATE,: or the JUDA9 who con-
: jcssed our SAVIOUR'S purity, may slander tlis
tt-ss(l.l NdlOC ; but the p,'-uglisb Lan' will nt,t
si,nre the guilt of the slander by sinning the stan-
d •rer,
