Tract Society is nothing to the purpose, Iol 'ls'
wss no part Of their business. 1hey unqueeuona
bly knew that il was 10 be offered to that socHty'
and az the propOser Of the prize expressed me- ih'

they probably supposed that it would be accePted'
At any rate, they knew it would be printed ana cir

whole range Of SANDER a more scandaious chaiee,
short of actual immortality could be brought against
gentlemen of their standing and position, am una
bic to divine what it could be. As to these counts
of the Indictment the Reverend Editor stands mute
and rather think that before the tribunal Oh ruoc
Opinion with Chief. Justice Common Sense on Tue
Bench. the plea Of guilty will be entered by
direction Of the Court and the case go against him
by default.
The Reverend Editor, by what authority Know
not, speaks OF "the Infdel Untarianism OF Byles.
| would beg to assure him, if i have ever held any
beretica opinions Of that kind that have reformed
them, at least to this extent: cannot deny that IL
is difficult TO explain many of the moral phenomena
We meet with IN the world on any other hypothesis
than that Of Original Sin and Total Depravity;
One would think it must be an innate, congenta
idiosyncrasy which should seem to make 1t lmpossi-
bic for this Reverend Editor to dev ate into the
truth, even by happy accident. For example, De
calls The Anti-S iartry Standard the organ OF the
Amt rican Anti-Slavery Society in your city, an
"infdd" paper, when he must know that IL Is no
more tuch than The Ersning Post or The Home
journal. That is, he must know it if he reade IT;
ard if be do not, the for him, If he lets ny
ouch Il sander at random. The fairness of that
paper is absolutely Judicial, trying all events and
persons by the strict law of liberty, but without
the slightest sectarian bias in any direction.
1t is model Organ OF Society con-
sistng of members OF every variety OF re-
Igious and political belief. II any one wishes
to know, week by week, the current history OF
Slavery and nti-Slavery-the only real history we
have-be cannot do better than 10 take The Stand
ord 1t is the only paper that contains the South
side as well the North side of the question, and
that gives the cream of the Pro.Slavery press
South as well as North. Its editorship is most ably
done and as to its correspondence, / Will only say
that no New-York paper, except THE TRIBUNE
can boast Of exactly such Boston Correspondent
OF this last indeed whatever may have q right TO
do it il rather ungrateful in the Rev. Nh Porter TO
complain, iDasmuch as he stands up for that gen.
tie mans infability against any denial, and refuses
TO believe that did not write the Rejected Tract IN
the face of that authentic opinion. In another place
the Reverend Editor says that have threatened
him &" with fire and birthstone, along with the Rev.
"Dr Nehemiah Adams and other unworthy divnes,
&c" Now, never said anything of the kind as
to any one but himself. Ireferred him. for the ben
eft Of his own SOUL to DR.. Adams's sermon on
Eternal Punishment, to enforce my fraternal warn
ing as to " the lake which burneth with fire and
- birthstone" in which he must needs " have his
part REV xxi. y unless he repent and flee from
the wrath to come. And there will leave him for
the present.
1t is very likely shall write to you again sOon
as have several things to say, which the historical
importance of the topics Of this letter and my two
last have thrust aside. l don't know whether you
will think the game worth the trouble of running 1t
down, but the chase has amused me- and l hope it
may not have been Misunderstanding to you aso. |
can truly say of the Rev. Ebert $. Porter, as
Peter Pindar did of King George I'LL, when re-
preached with having been a bad subject to his
Majesty, that he has been good subject to me.
