Reply OF Bishop Hopkins.
BURLINGTON, VI. Jan. 30, 81

BURLINGTON, VI. Jan. ~, 'bl.
My DEAR Sm,-I have received you,
friendly request that would give you my
opinion on the Scriptural authority fol
negro slavery in the Southern States, and
also on the constitutional position of the
contcndIng parties, in the present crisis
OF the Union. For the confidence implied
in this application owe you my cordial
Acknowledgements, and | shall respond To
1t with the Fl fiankncss which becomes my
Office in the defence Of truth.
The word "slave" occurs but twice in
our English Bible, but the term Servant,
commonly y employed by our translators,
has the meaning of slave in the Hebrew
and the Greek originals, as general rule
where 1t stands above. We read. howcv.
er, in many places, Of "hred servants. "
and Of "bondmen and bondmaids." The
first were not slaves. but the others were:
the distinction being precisely the same
which exists IN our own day. Slavery
therefore, may be defined as serpitade 10,
tye' deScendi"gto tho o6SPring, And this
kind OF bondage appears to have existed
as an established institution in all the
ages of our world, by the universal ovi.
dcncc of history, whether sacred or pro-
fame.
This understood, / shall not oppose
the prevalent idea that slavery is an OWL
in itself A phySicdi evil it may bc, but
this does not satisfy the judgment of its
more Jealous advcrsaries, since they con
tend that it is u moral evil--a positive
sin, to hold human being in bondage,
under any circumstances whatever, unless
rs a punishment inflicted on crimes, for
the safety OF the community.
Here, therefore, lies the true aspect of
OF the controversy. And it is evident it
can only be settled by the Bible. For ev-
cry Christian is bound to assent to the
rule of the inspired Apostle, that "sin is
The transgression of the law" namely,
The law laid down in the Scriptures by the
of God-the supreme "Lawgiv-
'r, who is able to save and to DESTROY"
From this word there can be no appeal.
No rebellion can DO so atrocious in his
sight as that which dares to rise against
his government. No blasphemy can be
moro objectionable than that which i'm
putes sin or moral evil to the degrees of
the eternal Judge, who is alone perfect in
wisdom, in knowledge. and in love.
With perfect correctness, therefore,

The Coolest Thing on RecOrd---
An Incident OF the Mexican
Wnr.

AS General Scott's army was march,
ing triumphantly into the city of Mexico,
procession of monks emerged from the
gate OF n convent situated on the emin-
ence at the right, and advanced with slow
and measured tread until they met the ar
my at right angles. The guide or leader
OF the procession was venerable priest
whose hair was whitened with the frosts
of many winters. He held in both hands
contribution box, upon which there was
lighted candle, and when within q few
feet of the army the procession halted
AS the army proceeded, many true be-
lever in st. Patrick dropped some small
coin or other into the old priests box
And, when it was observed tha. soldier
was searching in his pockets for some-
thing to bestow, the old priest would step
forward and hold his box to receive the
donation. Ultimately there came along
a tall, gaunt, limber-sided, ganderlook-
ing Yankee. who, on seeing the poor
priest, thrust his hands into the very
depths of his breeches pockets, as if in
search for a dime, or something of the
kind. The priest, observing this move
ment, advanced, as usual, while Jons-
than, holding forth greasy looking roll
OF paper, commenced very deliberately
unfolding it. The priest anticipated a
liberal donation, and put on an air of the
most exquisite satisfaction. Jonathan
unrolled piece after piece of dirty paper.
until at length he found piece of tri-
twisted smoking tobacco. He next thrust
bis hands into another pocket, and drew
forth clay pipe, which, with the utmost
deliberation, he proceeded to fill by
pinching off small particles of the tobacco.
When this was done, having replaced
his tobacco in his breeches pocket, he
stopped forward and lighted his pipe by
the old priests candle, and making an
awkward inclination of the head, (inten-
ded, perhaps, for bow, he said, Much

Il l.. d., Bishop Of Vermont:
Dear Sir-The dangerous crisis to
which our national Union has arrived, is
universally known to have arisen from
the perscvcring agitation Of the question
of Slavery. and we hold it to be the duty
of every patriotic man, to aid, rs far as
possible, in giving u right direction to the
public mind, before the evil, which threat
en- our Government are consumatea. We
therefore respectfully ask you to favor II,
with your opinions upon the Scriptura
authority for Slavery, and the Constitu
tional position of the contending parties
in the belief that from your official posi-
tion as Bishop, your age, and your ex
perience, the expression of your Judgment
would bc useful and acceptable to every
man'in the community.

A TRUE MAN.-Mr JAMES Ii. WEBSTER, Of

portion of his wheat crop for the assistance
of those in want in his county. He will give
as much as any other man in proportion to
their crops. So many of the poor have been
deprived of employment by the destruction
of business, cases of restitution are to be
found, we have no doubt, in every county IN
the State and it would be well for the pro-
position of Mr.. WEBSTER to be acted on in
all of them.
