II We are Unwilling to believe that the above
vulgar article is from the pen Of the editor Of
the paper in which it appeared, because we
think him man Of too much good sense, with
a hear. possessed Of that refinement Of feeling
and respect for the commonest decencies Of
life which would prevent such m ebnllition of
blackguardism as is brea,hed \ tho article
and we cannot but think that II orept in with
out his knowledge. II there is one name above
another that 10 honored all over the earth, BY
all classes and grades Of society, and if there
is man whose reputation will descend to the
remotest posterity, encirelcd by halo Of peer-
less immortaiy,--it is Adoniram Judson.--
DR.. Judson graduated many years ago at
Brown University, he was the classma,e Of
the late Hon Dutee J. Pearce, and many 9TH
or gentlemen who occupied prominent posi-
tions in society. and were honored by high and
reputable Offices during their day and genera
ton and if DR.. Judson had been disposed to
have pursued other calings in life, and TO have
entered the political arena, there 10 every res-
son to believe that no would have been equally
successful with those who were the compan-
ions Of his earlier years. Hut he voluntarily
bid farewell to all these, and with the self-
sacrificing spirit Of the Redeemer ofthe world
went out to that far-dis,ant land which had 90
longlbruoded in heather darkness. as the mes
senger of peace. and the burner OF the tldingt
Of salvation to millions Of benighted mortals
who had never heard Of the Bible, or been
cheered by the hope Of heaven. There he
patiently and perseverengly laborcd, not for
fame, not for earthly honors, not for ,ha, dis
,inciion which makes men vain, not for the
laurels burning with the hot breath of political
applause, not for wealth. not fot comfort, not
for rcpose, mo, not for all or any Of these :;
but simply in sbedience 10 the cor.imand Of
Christ, "Go yo into all the world, and preach
The gospel to every creature, Having as his
only hope Of reward the promise of God, "
shall give thee tho heathen for thine inheri-
lance, and tho u,tormost parts of the earth for
thy possession"
There he has,oilcd for nearly half century,
with moro than the carnostncss Of a menial IA
boror he has translated the Bible into the
language of the nation ed that all may read it;
he has established schools, relieved the poor,
administered to the afflicted and distressed, and
performed the whole duties of devoted ser
van, of God, with more than Apostolic dill
gence.
At the time Dr.. Judson married Miss Chub-
buck, or Fanny Forester" rs she is better
known by the latter name, and universally ad.
mired for her exquisite "ritings,- few pa
pers s,ormed and raved at the marriage, and
denounced DR.. Judson in the soveres, terms,
as if he had deceived and captured an unso-
phisticated school girl Of sixteen, by arful
measures, and was abou, offering her az a
bright and blooming victim upon the altar Of
the Burmah Mission. The remarks were
contemplate in the extreme, and merited on
ly the scorn Of every hieh-Ininded man. Miss
Chubbuck was lady whose mind and char
actsr were matured by experience, and whose
devotion 10 God induced her to unite her des-
tiny with him who chose TO make her the part
net Of his bosom. It was union equally hon
orable to both, and has proved an eminen,ly
happy one.
Those who stood on the wharf At Boston
three or four years ago, in that vast crowd
and gazed upon the manly form Of Dr. Judson
and listened TO his eloquent farewell address as
ho wa, sailrg for the field Of his labor,
again, must have turned their steps homeward'
and envied the man, and the claim which he
holds upon the affections Of no, only the chris-
,ian but the whole civilized world.
Such remarks as those at tho head Of this
article are mean beyond decency. We have
not replied because wo fcl. that Adoniram
Judson's character eond bo ,arnshed no. it
IS too pure, too unsuIhed for such slimo 10
daub. Ills name lives and will live, brgh,
and glorious. 10 the fenotest posteri,y, history
will preserve il as tho richest ornament Of
the church Of God, and his character is worthy
Of the closest imitation.
