Upon their return into court after few preliminary
observations

trumpery assault elevated into the dignity
Of a riot" He then had fling at the Herald, and
talked much about "pandering TO passion; "graii.

taste, &c. &c.
After glancing over the testimony he concluded as
usual with but one word norc-a single remark,
in which he took occasion to say "he was certain the
evidence offered by the prosecution could never con-
vict his client"

cacy of the gospel in Christian lands, and checks
Its spread and triumph through the world. 1t is

truly bound to pray for its removal for the ban

men, for two millions and half of slaves, will
the sons and daughters of the God Of peace forget

j the believer, never has left oul the law
the Sabbath from that inscription. Show
me the man who discovers conscientious
attachment 10 all the other articles Of the
decalogue, and will shew you that in his
heart, aud in his practice, this IS to be found
and it viii stand out as prominently as any
other on the point Of his external observanc-
es. 1t is altogether an erroneous TiewNof
the commandments, to look upon them as
SO many observances to which we are
bound by as many separate and distinct ties
of obligations, that the traDsgression of
one of them may be brought about by The
disruption of one separate tie, and leave all
the others with as entire and controlling in-
Auence as before. The commandments
ought rather to be looked upon as joined by
one great and general tie of obligation, and
that there is no such thing as loosing the
hold of one upon the conscience, but by the
christening of that general tie which binds
them all to the conscience. And thus it
has happened, that by the whole unchanged
law being stamped upon the heart the
keeping of this day holy has come down to
US through eighteen centuries, without any
enactment in the New Decentralization
any particular or formal setting forth Of
Sabbath duties, or laying down ola Sab
bath ceremonial 1t is because the new
crea *ure loves that Jaw whieA he atoretime
hated and violated, that the keeping Of this
day sacred may be recognized as the badge
of every faithful christian, as the great
index and palladium of religion in every
christian land. Yes, the newborn soHl
loves the quiet Of that sacred morn. He
loves the retirement of this day from the
din OF earthly business, and the inroads of
worldly men. Sweet to his soul is the ex-
ercise of that consecrated hour, when there
is no eve to see him but the eye of bis
heavenly Father. How can it be possible
that man can be under the influence Of
piety, who does not love that day which
brings to piety its most precious opportu-
mites How is it possible that he can
sustain the character of a religious man, if
the day which offers him the best time for
the lessons and exercises Of religion, is
spent in other exercises, or suffered to roll
over his head in no exercise at all How
can he love the law, who seeks to miscon-
strue or evade it? who disregards its strict
ness by securing little hay, or grain, max
ing little cider as the weather is growing
cold, orjournies, or salts his cattle, or wastes
the hours in sleep, or in worldly converse

1t then, Christ did refer to Dan. tx, 81,

reasonable contradiction. But if you
should refuse to admit that Christ re-
ters to this text, have further evidence on
hand, which | shall present for your dis
posal.
J now submit my first objection to your
candid examination, and that of the public.
Should you succeed in removing it, and in
showing my reasons to be groundess, then
you will have done something towards max
Ing me convert to your system. But if
on careful investigation, you find my objec-
ton unmovable, IPreSume You will, at least,
think your time we'll occupied, in giving
your whole system a thorough inves;iga-

correct, it furnishes a strong evidence of the
truth Of my second objection" viz: that
day in prophecy does not mean a gear.
For, if the 70 weeks begin with the close Of
Cyrus, and end with the destruction of Je-
ruealen, then, instead of covering the SPACE
of 400 years. only they cover more than
SIX hundred gears.

verted somewhat upon your proof, that the
70 weeks are a part Of the 1900 days, but for
want Of room defer that for the present.
