found it wanting hope he will now let me and
call Christians" alone, about moral obligation to
join Temperance Societies. Aud for want of space,
can do no more here, than make statement Of
the tendency Of his teachings on rule for obliga.
ton.
His teachings takes away all accountability
from men to God in cbristeudom, for ignorance,
and neglect Of the teachings of the Bible on mo-
rality. 1t takes away all difference between NOR
al right, and wrong, as written in the Bible not
recognized in the conscience Of the agent. Il
takes away the written will of God, as rule for
moral obligation 1t demolishes all standard for
moral right, and wrong, protesting to be the will
of God in unit. It sets up the conscience-the
unenlightened conscience in man, a rule-a staud-
ard of moral right, and wrong, without and inde-
pendently of the revealed will Of God, in the writ
ten Bible In short 1t slences the voice of the
written Bible, as the supreme law Of God to man
on moral duty and leaves all morals at loose
ends. 1t places all religions on parity, Pagaus,
Mahemedons. Jews and Christians and estab-
fishes as many rules for moral duty as there yo
taries or agents to perform duties having consci-
ence to dictate. "What conscience dictates TO be
done, or warns men not to do," is all the rule "a
Presbyterian" wants. And whether men worship
God at all, or as Jehovah, Jove, or Lord, all is
right; provided conscience does approve. And
whether the sacrifice of human victim, beast, or
bird. or prayer. orprsise, be offered up in service
unto God, all is right; if conscience does approve,
The commandments of the Lord are naught to him,
if conscience disapprove. To contem the rules Of
Holy Writ is right, if conscience so dictates. =

la.ive to charge for advertising between the
Commissioners of Hamilton county and the
Patriot newspaper. 1t was held by the Judge
that "the published terms of newspapers
constitute contract. If work is given to
newspaper publishers, without special
contract contravening, the publisher can
charge and receive according to the terms so
published. 1t is not necessary to prove what
the work cost or was worth the publishers
have right to fix the estimate value of their
columns, and if so fixed, no other question
need be asked, but the price thus charged
