My DEAR SIN :-TnE DEMocH4r oil
the 2nd inst, is again before mo, con-
tanning a rci.eration Of your former
epistlc, with this difference only, that
you manifest some temper in the prem
ises. HayO you not, my dear sir,
caught the inspiration Of your 0rtho'
dox God, as portrayed by Rev, Claw
son aud others, that l quoted in ny
last. II is an old maxim, "that like
begets like" and the rovengeial, cruel,
angry God that you worship, must Of
necessity begct in his dcvotees like
feelings, Hence. your proposition to
leave the question that is now before US
to Popes. Priests, Princes, Devils aud
Uniyersalists. Let mo admonish my
friend to keep cool. Ono Of the un.
pires, however, that my friend refers
TO, It he had used his name in tho sin
gular, / would heartily aGquiescO. /
refer to tho "Princo Of Peace" But
my friend is determined to have things
bis own way, We will therefore try aud
accommodate him. The first umpire re-
ferred to BY my friend is the Pope. l
would Just whisper into tho ear Of my
friend that the Pope is bad authority,
as the Presbyterian confession Of faith
tells US on page 12l (and you know,
my dear sir, that the confession is
purely eyangelical Hear Il: There
Is no other head Of the Church but the
Lord Jesus Chist. Nor can the Pope
Of Rome, in any sense, DO head thereof;
but is that anti. Christ, that man Of sin
and son ofpcrdition, that exalteth him.
self in that Church, against Christ aud
ali that is called God" Thus you see,
my friend, that the Pope is not "or.
thodox," hence he is ruled tout Of
court" My fricnd'suext umpireis the
Priest. For tho qualification Of my
friend, I will introduce Rev. Thomas
N. Burke, q man of'great celebrity,
ono who, Us am informed by an intel
lisent Catholic Of our town, is equal to
any divine Of the present day. lquote
from a sermon Of his on death and
judgment" deliyercdin Dublin on the
l6.h Of December last: "oh think,
dearly beloved, Of that wretcbed soul
looking upon the face Of is God aud
seeing The cloud Of anger, tho awful ex-
preston Of Divine feeling coming on
tho face ofthc son Of God, those meek
and gentle eyes flashing forth His anger.
That right hand, bearing the stigma Of
Calvary upon It, is lifted up in anger
That soul will hear coming slowly
and terribly from the lips ofthe Savior,
Thou art lost, aud lost forever; there
shall be no share Of my Kingdom for
you, but the depths Of bells darkness
iGteyer. Depart from me, ! know you
not, to eternal pain. l died for you,
yet l swear I know you not. The lips
chat now pronounce your doom, they
quiyored in agony upon the cross, yet in
spite Of tLat agony, these lips breathed
forth prayer for you. Tho hands that
I now lit In malediction, were nailed to
the cross that thou highest be saved
from hell. Begonol Depar. forever
into eternal darkness is there no

Christ, l cannot live in hell All
that I could do to save thee, l have
done, and now thou gOest down to hell.
In spite Of me, thou hast selected thy
portion. Depart forever from my pros

"Fathsr forgive them, for they know
not what they do. "-BiLe.
Mr. Chaliant would next introduce
tho devil, and set up claim for the
bricks on his testimony. ltellthc gen.

such testimony. Now do we not read

from the beginning? and witness
that has been proven to be liarall the

FOR the qualification Of my friend will
let bis vicegerent, Thomas Boston,
speak for him. Now friend Chulfaut
