THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.

The first article in the creed Of every good
man, is the belief in the existence Of Su-
preme Being. He who has correct notions
concerning God, may be regarded as ortho.
dox; whilst he whose ideas of God are incor-
rect, is heterodo1 He who denies the exis-
tence of God can have no religion. On the
contrary, the individual who believes in the
existence of God, must have some sort Of
religion. It will be found that according to
the notions of individuals respecting God' so
will be their religion. Few individuals are,
in reality, atheists; but many have erroneous
ideas respecting God. This fact satisfactor.
ly accounts for the great diversity of relig-
ious practices which prevail in the world.
1t is important that every individual be sat-
isfed in his mind respecting the existence of
God. This, together with correct knowl'
edge of the character of God, will have
controlling effect upon all our actions. The
existence of God may be proven by the ex.
press declarations contained in the Bible and
by the works of creation and providence.
The caviling in6del may say that we are not at
liberty to use the Bible, until We have proven
that there is God; and then, that Godsis
the author of the Bible. A little reflection
will make it manifest that this is an unreason-
able demand. The Bible declares plainly
and frequently that there is God who crea-
ted and governs all things. A statement is
made, and it is our province to use the means
within our power to ascertain whether it Jig
true or false. In this particular, we may use
the Bible, just as we would, under similar cir
cumstauces, use any other book, no matter
who may claim to be its author. Whether
we could discover the existence of God with
out the Bible or not, is another question. All
Of us have learned some things from books,
which claim to be only the productions of
men, which we never would have known if
we had been deprived of the use of these

FULL PARTICULARS

known, upon evidence contained in his own
handwriting, that so lately as Saturday night
he was fully determined upon the policy Of
resistance as set forth in the News and Cou-
rier and substantated in advices to Northern
persons here from correspondents at Wash
ington. To this policy his supporters here
considered him firmly committed, and they
were prepared to sustain him in it. He had
not, in single instance, given the slig ghtest
intimation of even the possibility of change
in the course he had marked out and declar-
ed, and such possibility has not been enter
tanned, for moment, in the plans of Cover
nor Hampton and his friends who have been
busily engaged for several days devising the
line of attack to be pursued in view of his as
sured purpose of resistance to the last legal
extremity. The truth is simply that Mr..
Chamberlain changed his mind within the
past twenty.four. hours, and the change, to
whatever influence due, was kept so secret
that it was not even suspected till the troops
had actually departed from his Office door,
and he had made formal and official an
nouncement of his abandonment of the con-
test. I have heard no reason suggested for
his sudden revolution of purpose, and have
no means of ascertaining. He will probably
make it known at his own discretion. 1t may
be remarked just here that whatever the rea-
son for his course, the fact of his yielding at
this juncture has gone very far already to-
wards modifying the feelings of enmity enter
tained towards him by the majority of his po-
litical opponents.
The other incumbents of the State House
Offices are not included in Mr.. Chamberlain s
terms of surrender, and they all, so far as
known, propose to hold their ground until the
decision of the Supreme Court in the quo s0ar-
ranto cases is promulgated.
