Ma. EDrroR Though think |, unadvisabe
to open the columns of secular paper to religious

partial spirit, in consentng TO hear both sides, and,
therefore, the disputsn,s will, doubtless, make heir

So far the Baptist has had the advan'age In
words, and seems determined to 60 over the whole
ground on his side of the question. Be it go. But
equal justice requires that the other side shall Also
be fully heard.
As the learned Jew Of Sunbury threw down the
glove, and the accomplished Jurist and Divine Of
Berwick-not upon Tweed, but in ve'itahle
neighboring county-has taken !, sp, and engaged
in the conflict, it would not be proper for the prr.
sent a, least, for third person to interfere with the

So good readers Of the American, If the learned

may expect one from an untitled gentle.
BY the way, a suggestion occurs, which would

SINBAD OUTpoNE-A letter received here
from the Pacific, contains an account of the fol-
lowing adventurous and almost miraculous pre-
servation ofa boats crew ofthe ship Russell, of
Dartmouth. in June last : When within few
DAYS sail of Tecamas, the boats of the ship were
low cred for whales one of them harpooned and
fastened to young monster, who, probably not
being overpleased with the salutatiou, immedi-
a'ey made off at the top of his speed. The
boats crew, however, were not disposed TO re-
linquish tht.r only prize, and accordingly held
fast the line attached to the harpoon, AID their
trail bark was thus conveyed with immense ve-
locity through the deep to the distance Of sever
al leagues, when by whisk Of their submar-
inc steed, their bark was overturned and par
TALLY shattered. One of their number was
drowned, and the five survivors were thrown
absolutely on their own resources, out of sight
of the ship. A scanty stock ofprovisions renal
ned to them, and in their perilous situation they
clung to the keel Of the boat during three days
and nights, all of which time the wind blew a
gale. On the fourth day the wind having aba
ted, they succeeded in rigging the boat, and
bailing out the water, made for land, and arri-
we'd at Tecamas Meantime the ship had un.
successfully cruised for several days in search
of the boat and crew, when they put away for
Teeamas, which they reached a few days af
ter the boats crew. Almost incredible as is the
story, it appears well authenticated.

the present board, who are certainly entitled to
credit for the great re,renchmenls and reduction of
expenses they have made in the management of
the public works. The Governor has also cons,r-

some of the reasons assigned;

gathering Of yellow matter. which, as soon as
II appears, should be punciured or opened by

we have never known il to fail in stopping the
