For the True Democrat. The third Tirade of J. w. Moore, Esq,
 against the Revision of the Bible in
 1S6O
 A recapitulation of the FACTS in this case. l. for November, 1859, (lS5S was an erratum-an error in my note ot Feb'y 2O, l lectured in Fort Smith, Ark, on the revision of the Bible 2 After l left the State, J. w. Moore esq, began a series of trades against me and the revision of the BIble and continued them in the publl press in 1858 and '59, unnoticed by me, though repeatedly requested 10 notice him. 5. Foct, he obtained several certificates against me. and published them in which he corlcotured and misrepresented my lec- lures. Since came to this place and sec ton 1 have been informed by two gentle men that two of the certificates were from eleslded sectarians, and the third one was double sectarlan and was confrmed sot. ms was the course you pursued towards me m my absence for two years, without any notice from me whatever. 4. Fact. In January, 1860, returned to Arkansas and ectured on the revision of the Bible, and you began second series of trades against the revision of the Bible and de- llvered two before 1 noticed your one of teb'y 8, and the other of Feb'y 18th. Fact When l noticed you for the first tune on Fsb'y 20, and accepted your chal- lenge that our common version is aU we need desire, you began at once to crauish ito back down, and called all the above tacts as some remarks about revision, end Ing in challenge to you by me for a dis cussion. l stated to you distinctly in my notice of your hrades in Feb'y 20, that hoped there would be no 6aching down from an acceptance of your plain challenge. lou converted all these facts in your note of Feb'y %, into challenge by me to you for discussion. 1 want you to show how you did this You expect to evade prov ing your affirmation by my supposed ignor- ance of Hebrew and Greek. The less l know of anything the better for you; the less you have to do, the easier will be your triumph over me, and the greater will be your victory over me. Let not my ignor- ance therfore, sir, afford you any longer an excuse for trying to craoyish from your af tirmatlon and challenge that tour common version IS dU We need desre.'
 In all your three tirades against the re- vision, l have not seen the semblance of a reason in support of your affirmation, ex- cept, perhaps the French revolution | Dr. kane's mother reading to him out of the common version, Chiliarch-my views it ( e <. These, l confess are unsound ar- guments against the revision of the Bible 1 T good your challenge. First, if you prove it you will immortaIize yoursef--you will be canonized by the enemies of revision as a great saint, you will stand on the list of canonization next to .St. Judas himself Secondly, you will have the credit of stop. ping the making of a sectarian Bible, which you aledge to be the most Wicked project of the age-the cOnsummatiOn of sectaran- ism 1 pledge myself to the community that if you prove satisfactorily that our common version is aU we need desire that 1 will stop featuring on the subject of the revision, and ] will use all my influence to stop the Bible Revision Association from proceeding any further with their sectarian version'
 But on the other hand, if you fail to sus- tain yonr o9irmotiom before the public in a discussion, you will be regarded as unwoItly of the notice of Honest and huthfM men for having made an qtfrmotjon which you are both una5le and unwilling to prove, and which disqualifes you for having the su- pervision of public morals for making an qtfrmation which you knew to be untrue at the time you penned N A gentleman re- marked to me that the certificates you pub lished against me in 1858, were .tolse, and only .tatse and nothing but .talse. He heard my lectures in Fort Smith, Arkan- sa~, in Nov. 1859 Hoping that you will choose the former alternative and not the latter, and that you will inform me at your earliest convenience of such choice,
 1 remain yours truly,
