CHRIST MADE OUR sANorIFloArroN.


Al the bar of men many one is pronounced
lust who remains inwardly foul and guilty; for
the best of men but judge of things as they
appear not as they are but the righteous Arbi-
ter of the world declares just whom he
makes not holy. The same mercy therefore,
that makes Christ our righteousness, makes him
also our sanctification Of ourselves, wretched
men, what other, at our best, than unhe-
" creatures, full ofrolluton and spiritual un-
ceanness? 1t is his most Holy Spirit that must
cleanse us from all the fthiness Of our flesh and
spirit" e Cor. vii j. and work us daily to fur
cher degrees of sanctiication. lie that ls holy,
let him be holy still, Rev xxi II. Neither
can there be any thing more abhorrent to his IN
finite justice and holiness, than to Justify those
souls which lie still in the loathsome ordnre OF
,heir corruptons. Certainly, they never truly
learnt Christ, who would draw over Christ right
eousness as a case of their close wickedness !;
that sever holiness from justice, and give no place
TO sanctifcaton in the evidence of their justify
ing Never man was justified without faith
and wheresoever faith is, there it purifeth and
cleanseth, Acts xv9. But besides that, the Spi-
rit of Christ works thus powerfully (though grad
nally) within us, " that He may sanctfy and
cleanse US with the washing of water by the
word" His holiness is rnercifully imputed to
us, " that he may present US TO himself glorious
church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such
thing but that we should be holy, and without
blemish," Eph. v. 26, 81 SO that inchoate
holiness, which. by his gracious importation,
crows up daily in Us towards a full perfection as
abupdantly supplied by his absolute Holiness,
made no less BY imputa:ion ours, than it is per-
sonally his When therefore we lool, into our
Losoms, we find Just cause to be ashamed Of our
impusitY, and to loahe those dregs cf corruption
that yet remain in our sinful nature; but when
we cast our ewes 10 heaven, and behold the inf
mite holiness of that Christ 10 whom are uni
ted, which by iaith is made ours, VIC have reason
to bear UP against all the dscouracements that
NAV arse from the consc ousness ofour own vile
mesa; and 70 look Cod in the face with an awful
holiness. as those whom he Is pleased to present
holy, and rnblamcable, aad unreproveable ia his

Letters have been received in this city
from authentic sources in Washington,
stating that the British minister, MIR. Fox,
in dictaiorial tone, had demanded OF the
United States government, the liberation
Of the Amistad negroes, about whom the
northern abolitionists have busted them
selves 50 long. To this demand, the let
lers say Mr.. Forsyth has returned an
answer that becomes him as an American
and determined supporter Of the rights
Of his county. The prospect Of collision
with England at all points, and paricu,
larly on the question Of the southern in
slitution OF slavery, would seem 10 be im~
minent. No doubt the trai.orous aboli-
tionists have made direct influence with
the British thronein this matter. Vi ads

ofMe United States. ~ An interesting case
is before the Supreme Court, involving
most important consequences and some
millions Of dollars in properly. The
plth Of the question at issue is, whether
the sale Of slaves imported in the State OF
Mississippi, is valid. The constitution o:
Mississippi prohibits the importation for
purposes Of merchandise, and The question
is, whether the sale is vitiated.
Mr.. Walker, one of the Senators from
Mississippi, opened the case in favor of
The validity of the sale. Mr.. Jones re-
plies to-day; Mr.. Clay Of Kentucky,
will reloin Tomorrow; and the argument
will be concluded by Mr.. Webster Of
