PERTINENT QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
The New Orleans Times contains the fol-
lowing pertinent bit Of catechism, which
will puzzle some of our Radical friends to
confute: Did tho Northern States ever have
the institution OF slavery? Yes. Did they
free their slaves? No, HOY did they get
rid OF the accqrsed thing? They sold their
slaves to the people Of the south. Why
did they discop ptinue slavery ip thciT midstY
Because it paid better to sell their slaves
than to keep them. Did they make any
provision for the future freedom Of their
slaves when they sold them? No. What
States were chiefly engaged in the slave
trade? The Northera States. Did they
continue the trade after slavery was abol-
isbed in their midstg Yes---thcy continu-
ed it until the commencement of the war.
Which of the Northern States had the
ggoatest number of vessels engaged in this
trade, and made most money kidnapping
poor Africans and selling them into bond
age Massachusetts, Could not Congress
have passed gradual emancipation and
colonization act, allowing moderate CON-
pensation for slavesY It could. Would
such an act have been accepted by the
South? Undoubtedly. What prompted
the rebellion intiie South? An assurance
that the very men from whom originally
the Southern people purchased their slaves
after they had been stolen from Africa,
were determined to release them without
restitution of their l-gotten gains in the
premises, and to make use of the Freed
men as TOOLS, in order to peFpetuate their
political supremacy Have the fears of
the South been realized? Yes. It is un-
necessary to mako further extracts from
this suggestive and retrospective cate
chism. If order is to be brought forth from
the existing chaos, the people of the
whole country mpst forget their chickering's,
anb exhibit spirit of mutual concession
and mutual forbearance.

precious TO immersion" On p. 35 he
says: "Immersion alone was that act
of turning to God" In his debate
with McCalla, p. 1877, Campbell said
"God appointed baptism to be, to ev-
cry one that believe the record he has
given of his Son, a formal pledge on
his part of that believers personal ac-
quittal or pardon, so significant and
so expressive, that when'the baptized

INSEP ARABLY CONNECTED TO
GETHERn We might continue sim
liar quotations from Mr.. Campbell all
day, but what we have already given
proves conclusively the correctness of
our position.
We asserted that Campbellites deny
the power, efficacy and oflice-work of
the Spirit; and somo go so far as yir-
tually to deny His existence. Mr.
Waller says this is untrue. 1t may be
true that he does not endorse this po-
sition. The christians" or Camp
bellites," or whatever you may term
them, boast that they have no creed,- -
and so far as an unwrittcn one is con.
cerned this is true thence it is some.
times little difficult To define what
they all do believe. The truth is,
there are, belonging 10 that denomina-
tion, those who embrace all the doe.
trincs taught by every other sect in
the laDd-exoept they mnst be im.
mersed. That is a sine qua non. In
order to prove our assertion, however,
it is only necessary to state that some
thirty o. forty years ago, there was a
quite numerous sect in Kentucky aud
other States, known as the ''Stoncitcs, y
and one of their cardinal doctrines was
/ the noncXistencc of the Holy Spirit.
They were Unitarians. They subse
quently united with the followers oi
Campbell, aud ceased to exist n
Stoaeites. In this union they renoun.
oed none of their fundamental tenets
Hence, it follows as a sequence that
they, at least, deny the power, Office
work, and even existence Of the third
person in the Trinity. And we know
others personally who cake the same
view.
| We have already said more than ",
intended. Ia conclusion we say t,
our old friend that we shall regret Il
part company with him. But if hi
friendship and influence can be retain
ed only by total SILENCE on rcligioui
topics, as he more than intimates, b,
it 50 he will go his way and we vii

outspoken we were so during tn,
war-a time that tried mems souls
particularly those of Democrats anc
We should most cordially hate oursel
if any ordinary obstacle or considera
tion could now deter US from an ex
preston Of our honest convictions OF
all proper subjects.

REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.

There is plenty of room in the fore
going for discussion; but for rea-
son which viii readily occur, we arc
not now in the mood for one, especial
ly such an one as this would doubtless
be-sharp and acrimonious We shall,
therefore, only make few remarks
and not attempt seriously to debate.
The first thing to which we call at
tention is the spirit our friend Waller
manifests. 1t is anything bat amia-
BILE; anything but proper for minis
ter Suppose it is true that we have
misrepresented the tenets of his
church is that any reason why he
should get into passion, and charge
US with uttering falsehood, and finally
virtually threaten to withdraw his
support? We leave our readers to
judge. Mr. W. processes to be a per-
sonal fnsqd of ours he knew us by
reputation aqd personally in Illinois !;
and be knolcs that we would not know
ingly and wilfully misrepresent his
views, or more properly the teaets of
the church of which he is member.
Mr. w. asks us to stand On our
platform as laid down in the first issue
of the DEMOCRAT, 4and Let Christians
alone" We infoFm our friend that
we have never, in an editorial career
of about twenty years, said we would
be entirely silent on religious topics.
And what is more we never will. We
have as good a right to meddie with
religious subjects occasionally as any
body else. Preachers need watching
they need hauling over the Goals
once in while just as much as the
common people; and for one we dc
not propose to yield up our right tc
do so whenever we think the occasion
demands it, In the case under con
sideration we did not intend to "as
sail'' Mr.. Walters "religion." We
stated only what we believed the facts
would warrant, and what nobody
would attempt to gainsay.
Mr.. w. denies that Alex. Campbell
is the founder of the "Christiar
church" We could easily show, by
undisputed authority, that our state
ment is essentially correct. He is al
much the founder of that sect as Yves
ley is of the Methodist denomipatiop
There were others-mep of note and
: force of characteristic aided Mr.
Campbell; but stiH he was the greal
leading, guiding and controlling expo
nent of the sect known as ''Christians,' ;
"Ca1npbeliites,' Disciples &c.
