Because of the publication Of several articles
written by highly esteemed gentlemen IN dit
fDreut parts OF the district, favoring the cleo
ton of Col. John S. Mosby to Congress, 1t has
been intimated by some that the Gazette favor
ed the election of COL Nj. 10 the place OF Gen'
Hunton.
Nothing that has appeared in the editorial
columns of the Gazette could possibly warrant
such conclusion. % the contrary everything
that has appeared there has been commenda-
tory of Gen. Hunton and his course, and clear
ly indicative of preference at present for that
sentleman's reelection, subject to the action
Of Conservative Convention, should one be
deemed necessary for the success of the prlncl'
pies advocated by the party.
While always freely and candidly expressing
our views, it has never, however, been, nor
will it be, the purpose or desire OF the
Gazette to prohibit those who may enter
tain opinions at variance with ours from fan
expression of such, and thus it frequently hap
pens that articles in sentiment, totally differing
with those entertained by the editor are admit
ted to itscoluuns, especially when their authors
are known to be worthy gentlemen, whose con
victions are honest and whose views are de
serving of consideration. And this We hold te
be but Just and proper

We give an abstract of the sermon: The king

including all nations, all Kingdoms, all worlds
and all ages. He himself predicted its ultimate
triumph. But the tendency of scientific
thought at the present day is to reject the
kingdom of Christ in the striving after unity in
all things. Unity of law in every department
of nature and morals, and even in religion is
sought by those who are prominent as scientific
investigators. There are some who would re-
solve into one primordial germ all forms of
matter, and interpret the creation of man as a
mere process of evolution. In this scientific
speculation there is great danger of confound-
ing fact and theory. Theologans have done
the world and truth good service by coufning
these men to well proved facts. The men of
science are striving to establish science of re-
lfgion, in which Christianity is counted as only
one factor, like Buddhism, being presented as
a merely human Invention, stripped of its
supernatural attributes. 1t is impossible 10
reach the truth in this way. 1t is as if a natur-
alist should compare man and brute and leave
reason out of the account The supernatural
cannot be separated from Christianity The
religion of Christ is peculiarly fitted for uni
versal faith and is the only abiding religion.
Christ has shaped it to meet the need of the
human soul. In The first place, it gives unity
of origin TO the whole human family. Moth
ing can be more truly sublime than the account
