The reply was you will find him in the
person and character Of Rev. Wesley
Smith" Is more evidence needed ?
The Rev. gentleman very naturally
quotes from Talleyrand, one of the most
unprincipled men that ever lived but it was
work of supererogation to prove that he
held the commission ola crime to be a
light matter. The readers of his articles.
and especially his neighbors, know that
too we'll.
Hesays that the doctrine advocated by
him in former article. 81 that some per-
sons were as good as the Lord could
make them out of the material is the
doctrine of the NJ. E. Church and the BIZ
ble." What! is denial of the omnipo-
tence Of God, "the doctrine of the Metho-
dict Church and of the bible?" This
looks as if all our fond hopes of his re-
demption were to be dashed from us.
If anything were necessary to prove
that the Rev. author is actuated by other
motives than desire to advance the in
terests of his church, we have it in his at

call upon the church to aid and sustain a
paper only notorious for its ephemeral
existence, its abuse of everything good.

money, and the immortality of its editor.
shows the commingling of kindred spi-
rits, which is anything but creditable to
him, and which will be secuted by every
minister and member ofth M. E. Church,
as is conclusively shown by past expert
ence; as we are credibly informed that
more have discontinued that paper than
have subscribed for it since the COM
menccment of this controversy. If he
continues much longer, even the limited
support now given that paper will be lost
If it were not that Smith has served
two years on his present circuit. we should
call upon the Conference to discard him,
or at least send him where he is not
known but as by the rules Of his church,
the community he has so much outraged
will be rid of his presence, we let him
pass with the simple admonition of the
Saviour" Go and sin no more"

Religion,

Ihave thrown the following reflections
together for your paper, believing that
they will be read with some interest:
Religion, which was intended 10 have
been the uniting bond between humanity
and blissful immortality, which was in
stituted by an all-wise and omniscient
Being, for the most benevolent purpose
to redeem the human family from ever
lasting destruction, and whose every attri-
butte. whose very essence, is peace and
good 10iH to all men; and whose system Of
morality inculcates the most perfect prin-
ciple of justice and integrity ever impart-
ed to mankind; whose foundation is based
upon charity and lberaIity; and whose
every precept recommends the most ex-
pansive philanthropy between man and
man, has been perverted by the vile de-
pravity Of human nature, to be the palpa-
BILE screen for the most abominable enor-
mites, and the most atrocious villanies
which have disgraced the annals of man
kind.
1t has furnished a spacious and insidi-
Gus pretext for the most understandable
deeds of ambition, and under the impious-
~ wrested sanction of its holy, though
much abused name, have the unprincipled
and abandoned hypocrite waded, as it
were. through blood and carnage, to attain
the end Of his unjusLiiable assaults and
pursuits.
Bigotry is frequently mistaken by
many for genuine religion, but nothing
can be more dissimiar to, or incompatible
with the Christian religion, than the mar
row and confined dogmas of intolerant
bigotry. or the fanatical rawlings of hypo-
critical zeal.
The professors Of the Christian religion
have been divided at various times, and
by various causes, into numerous sects.
and each sect being pertenacious in the
support of its own peculiar tenets, bigo-
try has in greater or less degree taken
root and dourished among every deuomi-
nation of Christians: but as the enlipbt-
ened era opens on our darkened under
standings. the light of revelation breaks
forth before our vision, we see the gloomy
and exclusive doctrines of bigotry are ra.
Pldly giving place to the milder and more
amiable precepts of Christian philanthro.
Py and true religion. which is iuoulcated
5y the great author of our holy religion
in the inspired volume. Butnotwithstan-
ding the rapid declension of Ignorance
which has flowed over and refreshed the
world, intolerance has not been entirely
eradicated from the miuds-of many who
bear the appellatton of christianity, and

SENTIMENTS TOWARDS AMERICANS IN En-
RoPE.--A letter from an American citizen
in Paris, published in the National Intel
ligencer says: In Russia the Americans
are much liked, and the sovereigns Of that
nation have at all times exhibited the
kindest feelings and consideration for us.
Nicholas is decidedly the most enlighten-
ed and able monarch in Europe but let
us avoid committing ourselves with him
as we'll as with his opponents. A very
short period will now produce great events.
The Gear evidently meditates great blow
before the arrival of the allied troops in
Turkey, and shall not be surprised to
hear that he has fallen like an avalanche
upon the Turkish army and ground them
TO powder"
The Paris correspondent OF the New
York Times says there is no love felt for
Americans by the English or French Co.
vernment, the press of both, almost with
out an exception speaking slightly Of US ;
that in Spain we are loathed, and in Aus
tria dreaded. On the continent, this is
the feeling of course. Of the governments
and not of the people, who look to the
United States rs land Of refuge.
The New York Herald anticipates that
If England is successful in the present
contest, she will emerge from the war
greater than she has ever been, and will
turn her attention to her commercial ri
val in the West, whose power she will
cripple and destroy, if she can.

SHOCKING DEAru.-Miss Mary collars
visited the drug store of DR.. Artar, in
Carronton, Ohio. on the Cd inst, and go
ing behind the counter, commenced in a
playful manner to examine the. various
drugs by tasting or smelling. She final
ly took down Phial containing powdered
strychnine, and touched particle of the
deadly poison with her tongue. The
taste being disagreeable, she immediate
ly spit it out. But too late the subtle
poison had made sure work. In few
minutes she complained Of a nausea and
dizziness, and was soon thrown into
spasms, which ended in death in a quar-
ter Of an hour. This is terrible warn
ing to incautious curiosity into the nature
Of subtle substances to be found on the
shelves OF doctors and druggists.

In the above commInica alton, labored

articles which have appeared over the

he takes great care not to directly deny it.
This is perfectly natural. He knows that
it could be easily proven. and has not,

our proof, we will state that a converse
ton was had with the Rev. Wesley Smith
