OHIo-The following passage from the Mes
sage of Gov. Vance is valuable as containing tes-
timony drawn from actual observation by one
of great natural capacity, and also for the p1cti
cal view of the necessary result of the metallic
system, as now commended for by Mr. Van Buren,
"Iftherc is a single district of country in the
United States that owes more to CREDIT than
that oiany other, il is Ohio. Credit has given
us one of the most enterprsing and active set of
business men that have lived in any age or in
any country. Credit has given to us an equality
of fortune that is not to be found amongst the
same number of people i'll America or else
where. Credit has bought our land made our
canals improved our rivers; opened our roads ;
built up our cities cleared our fields; founded
our churches; erected our colleges and schools,
and put us i'll the possession of as large share Of
rational freedom and solid comfort as has ever
fallen to the lot of any People.
"If, then it is the settled policy of those who
administer the affairs ofthe Government of the
Union, to overturn all our previously well estab-
lished systems fcredt, OF finance, and of trade,
by sinking the whole property and business OPP
eratons OF the country to Il specie circulation,
why do they not come forward and show their
sincerity by the surrender ola portion of their
salaries !? Do they suppose the people will sit qui
city by and acquesce in seeing their land redu
sed to one-fourth oft present value, whilst the
provisions of the same law will add fourfold TO
the value of the salaries of our public servants?
Thus giving to President annually, instead
oftwenty five thousand dollars, (the nominal
amount he now receives,) one hundred thousand
dollars, and the other federal officers, down to the
lowest postmaster, in the same proportion. Does
not every person that, under the prodigal
expenditure now making, few years. appropr-
atoms will transfer the pockets of the officers,
agents, contractors, and retainers of the General
Government the whole specie capital of the
United States? Is it not now true that our federal
officers growing rich on the distresses and
embarassments of those who support and sus-
tain them? And are they not at this moment
receiving ten per cent, over and above that paid
TO state officers, where the law gives equal com

BROIHERLY LOVE.

The maintaining of brotherly love is
mentioned in the New Testament as the
distinguishing part of the character Of
Chrisl's disciples, and the observation Of
this duty ought to be the dali study Of
church. John, xiii. 35. by
this shall all men know that ye are my dis.
ciples, if We love one another" Bro:herly
love is so extensive duty, that to explain it
fully would require an essay ofitsef. Suf:
flee it TO say, that it is the opposite to Il sell
fish spirit. 1t has no delight in wrath,
strifes, and cmulations. 1t bears with the
infrmities Of other church members. as far
us the word of God will permit. 1t does
not ccnsurc harshly, nor hastily expose the
weaknesses of others. If brother be
ovcrlakon in fault, it restores him in the
spirit Of meekness; and it is humble and
thankful when Justly rcprovcd by others.
Brolhcrly love is Il daily imitation of the
Redeemer, in keeping up meekness and
lowliness of heart. 1t delights in the i'm.
age of Christ wherever it can be seen, and
it is cautious not to offend the least Of
Chrisi's little ones. 1t leads the person
possessed of it TO do good to all as he has
opportunity, but especially to the household
of faith he visits the widow and father
less. comforts the feeble. minded, succors
the tempted, and aims at cau'ioning the wa.
vcrins, and recovering the fallen. In fine,
it is the bond of perfection, and bruthery
love should be cherished by every church,
member. When it is lively in a congrcga-

F oil the master

10 do for his servant whatever it would have
been the duty of parents or society TO have
done. This position does not admit Of
controversy.
But in every situation it is the Christians
duty to commit his way to God, and he will
direct his steps. How or by what means
will he direct his steps? many subordinate
! Says, but especially by his unerning
acord," or the Holy Scriptures. TO the
law and the testimony, then let us bring
this question. "Thus saith the Lord " Is
always binding, and admits of no delay or
appeal; and if we cannot find q Thus saith
the Lord for our conduct, We have good
reason 10 fear that the Lord goes not with
u.s." and if the Lord goes not with US, our
prayer should be "carry US not up hence"
In order to get the mind Of the Spirit on
this matter we must consult all that the
Spirit has given as his mind, believing that
| what was written aforetime on this subject
was as much "writtcn for our learning"
as what was written on any o:her subject.
Is then the relation of master and slave
distinctly treated of in the Holy Scriptures!
1t is. How is it treated, and where let
US sec. Here brethren, permit prelimin.
ary remark or two.
! l. We do not pretend to have cer:ain
knowledge when slarery commenced in the
human family. We would only say that
it is probable it was introduced before the
deluge. 1t is true that the first time we
hear this subject spoken of is in Gen. tx.
25, where Noah is pronouncing the curse
on Ham, and Cainan. But the familiarity
with which Noah uses the word servant,
would seem to prove that Ham had under
stood the meaning before the food. end,
we do not pretend to discuss the masters
right over the servant, or the eirH relation
between master and servant. We would
only simply suggest the idea, that it might
puzzle an oppopent to make it appear, that
God did establish by statute, and regulate
bv statute in various attitudes that which is
/" morally urong," as some would have the
relation of master and servant termed.
But this is an irritating subject, and we do
not pretend to discuss it. Those who
have ventured farthest upon this ground We
do not suppose are entitled TO be called the
greatest benet etactors of mankind, & amongst
all the parties interested in this discussion,
the church of God has suffered most. We
arc therefore warned 10 "avoid this foolish
and unlearned question:" which administers
strife rather than godly edifying, and attend
to weightier matters than these.
What charge does the Holy Ghost give
to masters? "Masters give TO your serv-
ants that which is just and equal. knowing
that ye also have a master in Heaven,

acquiring sound and practical religious
knowledge. On this point our fathers ex-

we have departed to the contrary extreme.
With some few exceptions, we find, neither
in the pulpit, nor in the private walks Of
Christian life, any thing like the amount OF
systematic religious knowledge to be found
in some preceding generations. The great
effort Of the present day is to create ex-

ty required of him. Even the visible
church is society by profession called out
Of the world lying i'll wickedness, and holl.
ness is that which becometh it well. The
scriptures require this proof persons hav.
ing believed the Gospel. 1t is regular
walk which stops the mouth Of gainsayers,
and is one mean Of winning others to en-.
brace the faith; for it shews the happy c(.
fees it produces. You are called on, then,
to study whatsoever things arc true, what
soevcr things are honest, whatsoever things
arc pure, whatsoever things arc lovely, and
whatsoever things are of good report. If, in
your conduct towards men, you be wise as
serpents, and harmless rs doves; if you be
submissive and cheerful in affliction: and if
you regulate your families well, living in
peace there, attending to family. worship
and family-ins;ruction in them; and in being
kind and just in your daily walk; you will
experience the solid comforts of religion
yourselves in the mean time, and will be
gradually preparing for members OF the
church above. And l may add, that no
transient JOYS under the word, no hearing
oft gladly, should satisfy your concicnces
that you arc the disciples of Christ if you be
strangers to this holy life, and allow your.
selves in anv course CT sin.
The brid!ng the tongue, and taking
proper steps TO remove offence, is fifth
duty that every church-mcmber would need
to attend unto. The end of the Christian
religion is charity out of a pure heart, and
