Worthy Patriarch explains itself, and reuuir-
es no word Of introduction from us. AS the
time is so short before our Representatives
must leave for the N. D., if they 90, we
would simply remark that their travelling ex.
penses can be refunded to them on their re-
turn, if tits not raised before hand. From
what we can learn, three Of our delegates
will attend; and surely a sum sufficient to
pay their expenses can be raised without
difficulty. We will give IS, for our share,
in raising a fund for this purpose. Other in

raj argument in yindication of the institution
Of slavery, as recognized and taught by Christ
and the Apostles, in opposition to the " false
CLOSES" which DIR. Barnes has put upon pas.
sages bearing upon the subject, nhis "Notes'
on the Scriptures.
The distinguished Divine, who is the Au.
thor Of the work, has proven conclusively
that slaveholding is not placed in any cata
logue Of sins or offences given in the New
Testament but that all the books contained
in it were written in slave-holding states, anC
one Of them, at least, was addressed to
STAKEHOLDER; that the institution was Otter
referred to by Christ and his Apostles, and b,
them slaves were recognized as property
%chattels, bond-men, an inheritance for you
children afteryou forever" The works lucid
concise and irrefutable, and puts to silenc,
the hypocritical cant of f%anatical theologianI
which disgrace the pulpits of the North. l
ought to be widely circulated, north as wei
as south.
