Mr.. EDrTox:

Mr.. EDiTox:
Ny attention was called to
an article of yours in your daily o' Tuesday
recommending book of Mr.. Hartzell's pub.
fishing a scriptural discussion which took
place between him and Mr. J. Barker. II
| am correctly informed Mr. Barker publish
ed similar work, very soon after the dis
Gus sion, aud called on Mr. Hartzell to fur
nisli him his arguments in manuscript, that
they might be published together, and the
Rev. gentleman refused the request, for
what reason is best known to himself Mr..
Hartzell may have done justice to Mr.. Bar.
ker and the subject they discussed, by pIa-
cling Mr.. Bakers arguments in juxtaposi-
ton to his own, if SO, no unfairness can be
inferred. ! shall read his work and see, and
would recommend to every one who de-
sires any correct information on the subject
to read both sides and then Judge. An .r-
parte examination ought not to satisfy any
person Of good sense. II.

Mrs. Elizabeth C.dy Stanton writes =
long letter % the N. Y. Tribune in wh'cn
occprs the following: .
s.The sritings Of paul, like our s'aw
Constitution, are susceptible ol various -"
terprctations. But when the human soul 10
reused with holy Indignation against mus
tee aud oppression, il stops not to trans.
late human parchments, but follows OUT
the law OF its inner being, written ny the
finger of God in the first hour Of ito crea'
ton"
lit had occurred to the indignant lady
that conscientious Hindoos ''following out
the law of their inner being" that 10, ac'
,ingas near right as their "lights' allowed
made it point to burn widcrs, or make
them burn themselves, she might have pos
sibly have treated Paul more kindly Inc
"law oftheir inner beings" according to al
experience, is susceptible Of as many inter
prets tons as the obscurest statute ever en-
acted.--Indidnapo'is Jour.

to systematic effort to deceive his readers
st least we are to conclude 50 from his own

A strange occurrence took place in the
Illinois Congressional district where 1t was
thought for some time that Allen was elect
ed over Archer by one vote. Wesley East
en-, of Cumberland county, went to the polls
with determination to vote for Archer, bu'
instead Of his ballot, he put "a note for tour
thousand rails" in the ballot box. BY the
loss Of one vote it was thought that Allen
was elected.

erected to the memory of Henry Clay
at Lexington, Kentucky, have selected
one by an architect of Cincinnati, Nj
j. r. Hamilton. There we're over,
one hundred plans sent in for appro.
val by architects and sculptors, in
every State in the Union. Mr.. Ham
ilton's design is gothic temple Of
circular form. with thirteen sides, in
tended to illustrate the thirteen oriei-
nal States of the Confederacy. The
statue, designed by Bellew, occupies,
the center Of the building, much in the
same way as that of Sir Walter Scott
does in the Edinburg monument. The
upper portion of the building is to be
used as record room to contain relics
Of the great states man.

it would be presumptuous in me, one
of his ignorant and attached friends
to speak; since the most learned in
Physic, Law and Divinity of this
Athenian region, have been unable to
come to anything like unanimity of
opinion upon the subject; they ever

if there had been safety in doctors, the
