BY the way, Marius what business had Martin

commanded the lsraelits to butcher all Of the in

steal all their property, the church cries Infdol
and warns its members not to sit in n meeting Will

But Luther can reject whole book Of Gods re-
yclation," and all is right.
The only difference between you and Luther in
the case mentioned is, that Luther rejected the
book Of James because he taught truth and good
ness-bccause he demanded works to prove faith.
while the part you reject charges God with inhu-
manity and changeablenc Luther was Priest

Pillsbury and the GrifTings made favorable i'm

and hope it did not fall on stony ground. But
our State is dark and undcyeopcd. But few here

SALVATION OF THE UNION.

In lS49-j0, when the Shareholders wanted to
lrightcn the North into compliance with their inn
pudent demands, they cried out in grand chorus,
"Nell dissolve the Union" At this the North be-
gan to turn pale and to trcmble lest the GLORIOUS
conicdcracy" should tumble about her ears in one
grand ruin. The Abolitionists knew and said that
the Shareholders were merely playing game; that
they were no more likely to break up the Union
than the paupcrs of New England town were to
withdraw from the poor-house. But Northern aspi-
rants for the Presidency, fancyng that their bread
was buttered only the Southern side wanted
some apology for betraying the cause Of freedom,
aud were therefore than willing to seize upon
that which the South adroity presented. The
cry of danger to the Union" rang through the
land to the great terror Of those who dull
as not to through the game, and whose prejudi-
ccs would not allow them to heed the counsels Of
the Abolitionists. The cry Of having served its
purpose, Southern papers now throw fal disguise
and ridicule the whole business of Unon-Saving as
A farce See what the New Orleans Delta says
about it: a. 3. Standard.
The Union of the North American States is now
surrounded by ofhciuus admirers, who arc resolved
10 persuade il that the hour Of dissolution has ar
rived.
Your life s in danger cries voice from Mis-
sissippi, in the ears of the confederation.
The startled Union looks hurriedly around, and
sees the neat litlo figure of General Footo trembl
ing with afiectonate terror
Your life IS in dangerv comes in a charming
whisper from Geergir, and, as the Union hastily
bouts face it almost knocks over it's dutiful servi

voice from the office Of the New York Collector. and
the Union feels like Caesar after the q IN Brute
