we would just say, that the work Of grace
which has been IN progress for few
weeks past, continues with increasing in

BROTHER MuRRAY:-By reoues
the Baptist Ministerial Conference in /,
county OF Rutland, | forward for publ,
ton in the Telegraph, an abstract of 4, :
sertation on justification. D.HA
Romans viii: 33-Itis God that juslifeh
In considering this important decaa
ton of scripture, the following iDqaiTs
naturally arise:
First, What is it to justify? Seut
Whom does God justify2 Third, W.
things are necessarily implied in thejasH
fcation of sinners2 Fourth, On VI
ground does God justify2 Fifth, W.
does he justify2 Sixth, How does held
tifv2
This is a subject wholly of Divine u
citation. We must therefore search
scriptures for answers TO these ques,ol
The principal passages of scripture WI
treat of this subject are the following
Deut. XIV. 1.-Prov. xvii. 15.-Isa.
11.-Matt xii. 36, Luke xviii
Acts xiii. 3s, 39.-Rom. iii. 2O-2
iv. rs. v. l, 9. viii. 29-S9.-l Co..
l1.-Gal. ii. l6. iii. 24-26.-Titus j
ii. 2l-24.
From these passages we learn
lst, That to Justify is the province dI
Judge, and in the case before US, of ]
Judge of the whole earth-that jusIiiI
ton is opposed to condemnation.
End, We learn ,thac those of maDkl

3rd, We learn that the justifcatin
sinners implies forgivness. In no d
way can they be justified. II any ca
be found innocent they might be j@H
without forgiveness. But since all hI

We publish this evening description of the arri- val of Mr. Van Buren at his native place, with his admirable speech on the occasion.
 It will be seen that he relies confidently on the as- surance that time will do justice both his as President, and the honest patriotism in which they were conceived and adhered to- in defiance of clamor and opposition.
 No man ever retired from public office with more sincere manifestation of popular honor and approba- tion and no man, (we say it in candor and with conddence,) will stand among annals freer from reproach and with warmer admiration than Mr. Van Buren.
 Adopting series of measures, after thorough ex- animation and study and guided by public experi- ence not surpassed in the country he pursued them in defiance of the opposition and misrepresentons of bitter enemies, and now, when defeated by means which must stir up the indignant blood of every hon orable man, he retres to privacy like the great Ro- man farmer, in unaffected dignity and republican plainness.
 Washington (we do not compare Mir. Van Buren with Washngton-for he was ncomparabe) Wash ington had his enemies, who pursued him unreent- lessy--who distorted his measures-dishonored his motives, and backened his character-but time has vndicated him from all these, whilst his maligners are forgotten the lapse of years. Can tbe expect- ed that Mr. Van Buren should escape the detraction which chung like ivy to that good and noble man! The ex-president possesses all the qualifications of a true patriot and statesman. In the full blaze of success he was collected and firm, and in the heat of temporary and uuprinciplei defeat, he has the same calm demeanor-the same reliance on his honesty of motive-the same assurance that truth outlises party malignity, and that the public is always just in end. Who is the true statesman
 "'Tis he, whose law is reason. who depends
 Upon that law the best of friends;
 Who fixes good on good alone, and owes
 To virtue every triumph that he knows.
 
 "Who, fhe rise to station command,
 Rises by open and there will stand
 On honorable terms or else retire;
 And in himself possess his own desire;
 Who comprehends his trust, and to the same
 Keeps faithful with a singleness of aim
 And,l therefore. does not stoop, nor lie in wait For wealth or honors or for worldly state" And such was Mir. Van Buren. and such will he appear in the annals of his country.

 The Charleston Courier states, that the whig ma ory in the House of Representatives, at the extra session, will be about forty-nine, ,Mississippi and Illinois not represented. or these, seven or eight are srraiics. The Senate is doubtful. Unless some changes have taken place in the convictions of the members there will be 27 for bank and 25 against 1t. If Mir. Preston (which is not at all probable) shoull vote against bank, there will he tie, and there being no Vice President the question will be lost. We suspect there will be enough dssenters to disarproye of the details of any bank bill that may be submitted.

THINGS IN GENERAL.

MITCHELL. the forger, is now in New York awaiting his trial. The Herald publishes number of facts which show that this Honorable whig mem her of Congress, was known among his immediate friends as swinder before bis election. and that their principal motive for eecting hm was to secure themselves in certain sums of money which he had fched from them by practices similar to those that have brought him to his present condition. What is more remarkable, the very men, who, with full knowledge of his villaiuy, assisted to send him to Congress, were appointed to office, and are retained there, by Gov. Seward!
 Now in our poor opinion, such conduct is not only an indication o an abundant lack of probity in every one concerned, but it is most essentially derogatory
