LOCALITY OF HE'LL,


CAvel lcis often ask where he'll is. An answer
TO the question may be difficult. The question
IL foolish one, to be sure, hut fools NUT tone.
ZINES lie answered according 10 THEN folly. And
so we might say that hell is any place whric God
chooses 10 have it or where sinners choose to
have i, or whee the de, il makes it. Or ii may
be in some planet-or between the planets d
may be in no particular place. II may be every
where but in heavn!
Nov all this depends on what he'll il. Aud
when this is determined, the question may be
discussed. Hell IS infinitely misery. Where
ever infaite misery is endured, is hell. II, to
produce this, is necessary to put al. wicked men
into one pit, they viii be put there II not, they
may have more room.
Misery loves company" No one preienl'
tina, ,ia can produce happiness. Solitary sin is
therefore more miserable than social sin. OF
course, then, they who deny that there is any
sub locality as hell, gain noting by the denial.
They make the matter worse. They deprive
thc sinner OF the satisfaction even Of social misery.
II is therefore plain that If there be such place
as hell, all the wicked will be gathered III no IL
not each SINNER viii have hell wherever he
goes with an unholy heat.

often detbrone the reason OF a certain class of
men, and cause them 10 say many foolish things.
Az an exempli6ca,ion OF this fact, we insel, the
following paragraph from the Yazoo Wing of
the 9Th inst.
"1'berc isnow no opposition to the whis party.
Their principles arc universally aeknoNled, the
raiorma ion was necessary is now the universal
voice, Harrison's election is hailed universally
as deliycnnce. The great principles upon
which he is elected will prevail because no so
ious opposition can be brouht against them"
The first sentence Of the parngropI s highly
lattudinaran, and evidently bears the impress Of
a mind lnborrg under feycrish aud uun,tural
excitement. What, the Wing party without op.
POSITION! IT'S a vain helnson. A minority Of

parly proper, and we doubt not that so coon as
the public mind shall have recovered from the

gle, and reason shalt have resumed itl empire

The standard Of Whisgery, there being no com
mon lie, no unity either OF principle or Of pur.
pose among its adhertnts.
The residue OF the paragraph il in character
with the first sentence.
The idea tina! the principles opon which IIa.-
ti'on is elected (if in fact he be elccted) must
p.cyail, because no opposition can be brought
against them, is tray preposlcrous. II 10 will
known to all who are ut all familiar with the
history Of the CONTEXT, that tie principles which
