Mr. Register
There is my proposition TO which l
invite the attention OF oil, but specially
invite the attention Of the professors Of
religion rbrorglou, tho State to this
particular article. 10 my former mum
Der said that meant 10 amPlify and
ronily that proposition as woIlas | could,
and now proceed to the performance
OF tha. self imposed task, with what
success, yor are to be the judges. | had
intended to hove laid before the public

prassion' growing out Of the legislative
snaclmon,s and also the disfroDchise.

Of those things failed ia his promise in

A theological acquaintance mot a
prcachor) was more prompt ood Ipmish'
cd me with the most material texts Of
Scripture relative to the topic, and | will
now proceed to the religious aspect Of
tho subject. Ia Matthew chap. T. verse
70, our Saviour in his sermon on the
Mount says:

would that men should do to you, do
you even so TO them for Ills is The SaT
and he PROPHETS.
Would 20 have men treat 20 a, you
have treated your returned brethren,
who seeded? In the 9Th chap, Of 81.
Luke, verse 81:
"Aod az ye would that men should do
to you, do ye also % them likewise"
viii you do it? Let my christian
'icuds read q few Of the verses mmedi-
ately following. which have not space
10 quote. Would you have men treat
you so? Do YOU not think that The pc.
Rod has passed for the continuance of
such reotmentl And iC not toll us if
you please, when the time will be Iul'
filed, and give us your reason for your
thinking SO, md calling every man a
"CcpPerheal" who differs from you 90
Tho subject.
In the 9th chap Of Matthew verse %:
But say unto you, that whosOaver
is angry with his brother without
cause shall be in danger of the judge
men;: and whosoover shall say to his
brother, Raca, sholI be in danger Of the
council: but whatsoever shall say thou
fool, shall be in danger Of hell fire.
Some of the commentators ollodgo
thal tho words, "wi,hout cause" are
inl0rpoIatod, but whether they be right
or wrong, all agrce-Clork, Benson,
Whi,by, aud Lovman, also Scott, that it
is not these particular words only that
are sinful "thc meaning here is whose.
ever shall break out into open reviIings
md roProachcs ngainsI any MN, shall
be in danger Of he'll fire." Think Of it,
my christian brothcreu-- sccosh, rebel,
traitor, treason, &c, &c. that have
been heopod upon your bre.heron for
now noorly five long years, Is that DO
iog the will Of your Redeemer? Is no!
now the appropriate time to do the will
of Him who gave HimsoIta sacrifice for
all?
Mathew 10Th chap, 10Th verse;
"Honor thy father and thy mother
and thou sbal! love thy ncishbor as
myself"
THY rcighjor my religious friend in
every sense of the word, Ia the 18th
chop Of Mark, verses 80 and 81, after
speaking OF our duty to our Creator he
says; "A0l the second is like, namely
this; Thou shalt love thy ncighbor as
lbysclG there is none other command
men, greater ,hon these" My roiigi
Gus ricni please observe, next to your
love Of God, is or ought to be your love
to YOUR neighbor. Whatsoever your
