:Spurgeon and Wayland on Open Commun-
ion,

1Ou,
The most eminent living Baptist in Eng
land, is Mr.. Sturgeon, and no name is moro
revcrcd among American Baptists than that
of the late DR.. Francis Wayland. The fol-
lowing letters from each, relating to the sub.
jcct of open communion, will be read with in
tercst.
Rcmarking upon tho effects Of the practice
of open communion on tho English Baptist
churches, Mr.. Sturgeon says in a letter late
ly published
Whether vpcn communion be right OF
not, one thing I should think is beyond all
dispute, viz (: that where it has bcen adopted
it has been life from the dead to many old and
.decaying interests; and in no case has it's adop.
ton retarded the growth of the churches, ex-
'oept where strict brethren have seeded aud
upon the fact as of any consequence, because
.churchcs may grow all tho more with a sort
of increase under unhealthy systems but 1
venture to assert that our largest, most grow
ing churches cve,ywhcrc, except in York
:Hhirc, arc all open communion. Indeed,

except in certain districts. The assertions
which you..allude to arc baselcss, and the small
tshow of statistics, taken years ago, and in a
limited area, goes for nothing. Ask any man,
who knows England, and he will tell you that
she practice of open communion has been the
tign Of growth among us, and has always fol-
lowed at the heels of enlightenment"
There has been some dispute about DR..
Wayland's opinion en this vcxcd question,
but tho following paragraph in a letter dated
June 22d, 1865, and lately published in tho
Church Union, sets tic matter at rest
GAS to the subject of communion, I be-
tievo that it is one to DO left to the individual
conscience Of every believer. If I believe it
to DO mys9hty f. privilcgq3p with
a disoiplo;o.S nfiist who Holds to Podo.bap'
sisu, i should give oftens,:e e no ono. If an
ether brother thinks it is.duty to decline
such communion, It should give me no %oifons,cc.
Both desire to please the Master, and wo
should notyt judge another mans scrvantt'--
There is 70 prccept respecting it in tho New
Testament. Men, from what is revealed,
mayfnfer Quo thing or tho other; Their In

Opinion of Judge Backus.

At request of many citizens of the Terri tory, we, to-day, republish the able opinion delivered in Chambers, at Tucson, recently, by Hon Henry T. Baokus. of the Supreme Court of this Territory. We do not doubt but that Congress and the Supreme Court of the United States will. when the question is presented to them. indorse and re-aiiirm Judge Baekas' Opinion, soT tke reason that they cannot do otherwise Itestablishes the fact that we are without a Territorial Gov ernnsnt, and have been for several years past. and proves, eonclusiyely, that this state of affairs was brought about by Governor McCormiek's usurpation of power vested u the Legislature, and wbich he knew he had no right to exercise His motive for doing SO was, we know, selfish one, and he acknowledged it when be told members of the Legislature that passed the bill granting him power to make the apportionment, that he wanted i, passed in order to keepthe cap ital at Prescott. The Governor was then preparing for eoap d'6tf, on the white peo- pie north of the Gila, and he land the wires cunningly and recklessly. He did not pre- tend that the Legislature had the right Co give up it's power to hitn, hst De thought it was necessary for it to do SD In order that he could keep the capital on bis ranch at Pres colt until he could get chance to swap it for the Delegaey and town property in Tue son. He has told people that Congress will legalize all his unlawful acts, but Congress will do no such thing. They will start us again in business, and leave it to new Leg. islature to adopt or reject the acts of former illegal Legislatures. We will have new Governor and probably new Organic Act The new Governor will cause census to b. taken, apportion members of the legislatur to the various counties according to popnla ton, call the Legislature at whatever poin he sees it, and then the work of legislstior will proceed In fact, we wiT have to b reconstructed, and the sooner t is done th
