Unstirrd the auburn hair.

New HAVEN THEoLoGY.--We are plea.
sed to notice that The series Of Letters on
the origin and progress OF the New Haven
Theology, which first appeared in the
Southern Christian Herald, and from that
paper copied into The Presbyterian, is now
published ina neat little vel1mc. These
icf;ers form an important link in the history
ofthe present doririnal controversy, mas
much as they ore from the pen ofone who
is thoroughly acquainted with every step OF
that controversy from its rise in New Hav.
en-, particularly as it has existed III the New
ENGLAND States. The New.sc'ool ress
has been industrious in disseminating the
idea, that all the acts ofthe late Assembly,
are 20 be attributed 10 the prejudice enter,
tanned by the orthodox against the divinity
ofNcw England as taugA: twenty years
ago. Nothing could be more u"founded
than this representation. The semi Pela-
gianisn Of New Haven is the true origin OF
the agitations which have peryaded the
Church. hen DR., Taylor frs: broached
his sentiments, alarm was excited among
the leading ministers in New England.
Among the recently deceased, Drs. Porter,
HYDE and Cornelius. and Mr.. Evar;s, and
among the living Drs. Woods, Church,
Griffin, Tyler. Humphrey, Harvey, Hewitt,
and A!r. Nettleton ar:ayed themselves
against the New Divinity.
On the other side VIC iind but few names
of any distinction except those Of Drs. lay
10: and Becchcr. These last gentleman IN
their anxiety to isprove the theology other
Ghcrs, struck out q new course ami Pursu.
ed it in defarce Of the solemn rcmon.
strances oflheir brethren.
The alarm Of the Old divinity men Of
New England soon communicated itself 10
the Presbyterian Church, and as the ia
ciii,ics OF intercourse rendered 1t certain that
the Icaycn would soon sprea yer our
Church, an effort vas made to arrest 1t ;
and that was the origin Of the controversy
which has, for the last seven years, so un-
happily distracted the I resby'elian Church.
The Letters are unquestionab!y authentic,
and we hope that many Of our readers will
desire 10 preserve them in their present
form.-PresJyterian.

the very reverned the dean of Ardagh, in his
usual tone of good humour and pleasantly,
aterstating the indist ensable necessity OF con-

related several interesting anecdotes-one re-
markably illustrative ofthat hatred with which
Sunday School education is viewed by the
popish priesthood of Ireland, as darness flies
