AUTHORSHIP OF THE BIBLE.

There are. in all, sixty sig books
which comprise the volume Of Holy
Writ, which are attributed to more
than thirty different authors, or writer's
of the whole. Half Of the New Testa-
ment was composed by St. Paul, and
the next largest writer. is the gentle
and beloved st. John. With the sin
gle exception ofSt. Paul, neither his
tory nor tradition has testified that
those powerful thinkers and writers
ever enjoyed the benefits Of education,
or were trained to scholarship and
learning; yet how ably have they writ
ten, what eminent characters have been
chronicled by them, and what great
events recorded, both for time and
eternity

A DEATH BED REVELATION. y
large wine dealer in London, recently
on his death-bed, being in great dis

followed for years. He stated that it
had been his habit to purchase all the
sour wines he could, and by making
use of sugar Of lead, and other delete
rious substances, restore shc wine to u
palatable taste. lie said he did not
doubt he had been the means of des-
troying hundreds Of lives, as he had
from time to time noticed the injuri-
ous effects Of his mixtures on those
who drank them. He had seen in
stances of this kind where the uncon-
.cious victims Of his cupidity, after
wasting and declining for years, des-
pite Of best medical advices, went to
their graves, poisoned by the adultcr.

GESrLBMEN:-Yours of the I'D inst, ask
inc me to ioin in combination to put down
the Ohio Nostrum Bill, comes duly to hand.
cannot accede to your request, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
The law requiring that the composition shall
be published, of every medicine sold in the
State, cannot work to the injury of anybody
who deserves protection. l have published
the recipes of my medicines for fifteen years,
and believe this to be the honest way Of max
ing their virtues known to the community
The Medical Profession publish their discov
cries to sthe world, as soon as made, for the
benefit Of all mankind. Why should we not:
The, Law which you fear will destroy your
business, can injure only those who falsely
pretend to discoveries and secrets which they
have not. 1t will expose the emptiness of such
pretensions, and the public will turn aside
from such preparations as are found to be
worthless when their scomposition is known.
If medicines have real worth, they will be
only the better appreciated and the better pat
ronized by laying their composition open to
the Public, that all may judge for themselves.
If they have not real merit, it is due in COM
mon justice, to the suffering sick, to the pub
lie health and to the cause of humanity, that
the people should know to avoid them.
Yours Respectfully,

state Conrcntion.

On Wednesday next, the 3lst day of May,
instant, a State Mass Convention of the Free
Democratic party is called, to be held in the
city of Worcester, at eleven o'clock in the
forenoon. This is not a Convention for polit-
ical organization, in reference to the fall cleo
ton, or any other election, but one of consul
tation, in relation to the alarming position in
which our country and the interests of FREE
dom are placed, by the recent action of the
government. The Nebraska Kansas bill has
passed both branches of Congress-the Mis-
souri, Compromise restriction is repealed, and
the whole of the immense territories of the
Union are thrown open to the incursions of
slavery. Thus the slave power is triumphant,
and Freedom is PROSTATE in the dust The
solemn compact, by which the South guaran-
tied these territories to Liberty, is ruthlessly
trampled under foot, and the organs of slave
~, in the heyday of their success, declare that
the end is not yet. They now claim the
right, and proclaim the intention to assert and
secure it, to carry slavery, as a constitutional
right into all the free States, in spite of State
legislation to the contrary; and further still,
they avow the intention Of re-opening the in
famous and piratcal African slave trade
Fellow citizens This is dark and gloomy
day in the annals Of our beloved country-a
day portentious with evil to the whole human
race. The bright visions of freedom and pro-
gress, late SO beautiful and lovely in our eyes,
have become obscired, and heavy, dark, and
threatening clouds hang over them. In Eu-
rope, the reaction has been complete. Thety-
rants have consolidated their power there, and
rule with sway more absolute than ever;
while the champions of freedom are scattered
abroad, as wanderers and outcasts, on the face
of the earth. In this country, Despotism,
under the forms of Freedom, marches for
ward, with equal steadiness, and equal sue
cess, to the accomplishment of its purposes.
1t is in times like these, that the true-heart-
ed and faithful are more especially called up
on to exemplify their faith by their works
1t is in such times that their efforts, more than
at any other, tell for the future. 1t is in the
darkest periods, both of civil and religious
history, that the brave champions of the Right,
have left the most enduring monuments of
what can be done by determined men impel-
led forward by high sense of duty.
Let us, then, gather to this convention, in
the conscientious conviction, that on us is
laid a high and holy responsibility. Let us
come together, and consult with each other,
for the love of our Country and of Freedom.
Let us come and gather new strength for the
conflict, and new earnestness and zeal, from
each others encouragement.
We known that it is now peculiarly busy
season of the year, but no season is too busy
for men to take care of their rights, and he
who cannot devote one day to the Service
of Liberty, be the season ever so busy, does
not deserve the blessings of Freedom.
