Mn Co6pEa Truly this is an age o
Eprogtessiveness, aided by fanaticism. de.
ception and trickery, that history gives
no parable off The candid christian phi:
lanttropist is often shocked, yea morti-
fed sattthe recklessness with which by;
Fpocriical pulpit orators, condemn the Bible
of God, and denounce the teachings Of
Christ and his Apostles.
We hear of men who profess to be
calleds of God to preach. the unsearcha able
riches and blessings of Christ, and point
men to higher destiny, as well as to
persuade men to be reconciled to man
and God, degrade their profession, con-
denim the word of God, and try to discre-
dit the teachings of Christ and his Apos-
ties. In the Northern States, on the
sabbath, IN their pulpits, preachers who
have taken differentiation VOWS will de-
grade their profession by agitating sec
tional feelings, by condemning the 5insti-
buttons the South. and boldly brand all
Southern men as ssrobbers and Williams -
will curse the bible of God because it
does not condemn slavery. And may 1
not say that it is useless to go. to the
North to find, such teachers of g Modern
Christianity" No, here in our midst, (and
i say with regret for our State-the 10y
al Old Dominion, the mother of Presi-
dents and sociability) such sacriligious
hypocrites are to be found among US
Yes, Mr.. editor, around and about us are
men who condemn the word of God be-
cause it does not edenounce slavery as a
sin, and because it recognizes it as legiti-
mate. And weghaYe citizens who are
giving aid and comfort to ,such teachers.
Should you, or any other good citizen say
aught against these progressive abolition
christians, the cry is :. Persecution I! Per-
secution !'' and in this way these hypo>
critical wolves in sleeps clothing go with
all the sancity of a monk, talk about their
conscience, the ' enormity, the monstrous
evils of slavery" and with sigh declare
that "the slave holders Heaven never
can be their heaven" Calculated, ifpos-
sible, to deceive the elect. But the bible
christian who looks beyond the reach of
hypocritical demagogical influence OF
those progressive christians, see in, the
distance day of rettibution fast APP
preaching, and if it does not oyertake the
fanatic in this life, it will in that which is
to come. And while hesees through the
prophetic veil an angry God who cries
woe woe, to the fanatic he also sees
that that God will unveil the mist and in
this life see retributive justice done both to
the hypocrite as well as to the lover OF

PEELED to howl with lamentable voice
for solice, on account Of the wrath OF
God and man. am pleased to see that
the editor of the Richmond Enquirer has
taken hold of this subject. II is high time
every lover of his country-of our holy
christianity, should become awake to this
subject, 10 the monstrous effort the abo>
litionists are making among us, clandes-
timely, through designing priesthood -
Their great effort, are directed to the bor-
der states, Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri,
&c, are the theatres for these progressive
christians. Through their dirty deeds and
sanctimoniousness they expect to lead ma
ny captive. These teachers unblushinglv
say shat Christ and St. Paul in their
preaching and reproying sin, /" was afraid
to condemn slavery, fearing the wrath of
the populace" Did you ever hear of such
down right blasphemy. The Almighty
afraid to condemn what the aboltionist
call sin? Paul afraid to expose sin in
all its form no, no, but the inspiration
as revealed in the Scriptures does not suit
these progressive christians. A new Re-
violation is needed to suit fanatics Of this
age of progressiyeness. Away with such
teachings of christianity, 1 may say such
teachings of blasphemy. Show me sin
that Christ and ST. Paul did not condemn,
and l will show an anomaly. Both ex-
horted master and servant to act in their
several Spheres-each condemned sin in all
its forms. The abolitionist want a new
revelation-couched in language to suit
their new ideas of morality. wonder if
they cannot call forth Joe Smith who
can find this new revelation to suit these
progressive chritians in default of which
the " Revelation of God" as handed down
to US from generation to generation must
stand unsullied without alloy as the true
bible of God. SPECTATOR.
