WEBSTER On THE EVIDENCE OF CHRIS.
TtANITY.


few evenings since, sitting be his own
fre.side, after day Of severe labor in the
Supreme Court, Mr.. Webster introduced the
last Sabbalh's sermon, and discussed in ami
mated and glowing eloquence for an hour on
the great truths of the Gospel. canno, but
regard the opinions of such a man in some
sense as public property. This is my apology
for attempting 10 recall some Of those re-
marks which were uttered in the privacy of
the domestic circle.
Said Mr.. Webster: 'Last Sabbath | lis
tened TO an able and learned discourse upon
the evidences OF Christianity. The argu-
menis were drawn from prophecy, history,
with internal evidence. They were stated
with logical accuracy and foreej but, as it
seem 10 me, the Clergyman failed to draw
from them the right conclusion. He came
so near the truth that was asionished that
he missed it, In summing up his arguments
he said the only alternative presented by
these evidences is this Either Christianity
is true or it is deusion produced by an ex-
cited Imagination. Such is not the alterna-
live, said the critic; but it is this: The
Gospel is either true history, or it is con-
summale fraud it is either in reality or an
imposition. Christ was what he prolessed to
be, or he was an imposter. There is no
other alternative His spolless life in his
earnest enforcement of the truth, his suffer-
ing in its defence, forbdS us to suppose that
he was suffering an illusion of Il heated
brain.
Every act Of his pure and holy life shows
that he was the author OF Truth, the advocale
of truth the earnest defender Of truth, and
the uncomplaining sufferer for truth Now,
considering The purity Of his doctrines, the
simplicity of his life, and the sublimty of
his death, is it possible that he would have
died for an illusion! In all his preaching The
Saviour made no popular appeals, His dis
courses were all directed to the individual
CuRIsT and his Apostles sought TO impress
upon every man the conviction that he must
stand OF fall alOue-he must live for himself
and die for himself, and give up his account
10 the omniscenl God, as though he were the
only dependent creature in the Universe
The gospel leaves the individual sinner alone
with himself and his God. To his own mas
ter he stands or falls. He has nothing TO
hope from the aid and sympathy of associ-
ates. The delnded advocates OF new doc
trines do not so preach. CHRIST and his
Apostles, had they been deceivers, would not
have so preached.
If elergymen in our day would reluin to
the simplicity of the gospel, and preach more
TO individuals and less TO the crowd, there
would not be so much complaint of the de-.
cline OF true religion. Many Of the ministers

The magnificent speech of MIR Sumner, pub
lished in to-day's Era will be read with pro-
found interest by the American People. 1t is
admitted on all hands to be the great Senate
rial speech of the session. An argument for
our Cause, unanswerable, it is an exhibition of
Genius inspired by the noblest Principles and
regulated by the purest Taste
1t fills nearly three fourths of our paper, but
delay in publishing it would have been mex
cusable.
We shall issue it Immediately in pamphlet
form, and it will be stereotyped, so as to supply
any amount of demand. Price two dollars per
hundred
We deeply regret that the very apt and elo-
quent remarks of Messrs. Hale and Chase,
complimentary to MIR. Sumner, cannot, for
want of room, appear in connection with the
speech
Next week, we shall publish the speech of
Horace Mann, delivered short time since in
the House, in defiance of the Baltimore plat
forms and politicians-pronounced, by those
who had the pleasure of hearing it, one of the
bodest and most brilliant speeches ever deliy
cred in the Hall Of the House. 1t will also be

THE STEAM LINE.

The Enquirer, in an article upon the ex-
IRENE reluctance of men to admit new ideas,
IS exemplifed In the violent opposition made
to this line, quotes, as parallel examples, the
rldieule 20 which Fulton exposed himself in
his attempt to introduce steam navigation, and
the opposition offered in England to the navi-
CATION Of the ocean by means of the same
agent. The original steamboat was called, in
derision, by the witlings the day, "Fulton's
foliy," and DR.. Dyonisius Lardner proved, be-
sond all question, that the navigation of the
ocean by steam was philos optical imposs-
bility. These cases are in point, but one of
much later date, and much nearer home, might
have been selected. When Ludlam g. Watson
frstproposed 10 run a line of steamers between
James river and New York, most signal and
disgraceiul failure was openly and vehement
ly toretold. The reasons assigned were the
same upon which the enemies of the Antwerp
line found their opposition. Figures were
b:oughtin i'll any quantity, to prove that fail
uie, from the very nature of things, was inevi-
table, aud must be disastrous. Then, as now,
we were told that the freight would be too dear
upon such heavy articles as we could send
and that quickness Of transit was nothing. We
