T;ideus Letter,


The following is the full text OF Mr..
Tiden's letter of withdrawal:
NEW York, juno lS.-TO The DELE
GATES FROM THE STATE OF New YORK
TO THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL CONVEN
TIoN: Your first assembling is an occa-
sion on which it is proper for me to state
to YOU my relation to the nomination for
the presidency, which you and your aEs)-
ciates are commissioned to make in behalf
of the Democratic party of the United
States. Having passed py early years IN
an atmosphere filed with traditions of the
war which secured our national indepen-
dence, aud of the struggles which made
our continental system government tor
the people, by the people, learned to
idolize the institutions of my country. and
was educated to believe it the duty OF
citizen OF the republic to take his fair
allotment of care and trouble 10 public
affairs.
FULFILLED THAT DUTY
to the best of my ability for forty years as
a private citizen, although during all my
life giving at least as much thought to
public affairs as to all other objects. L
have never accepted official service except
for brief period. for special purpose,
and only when The occasion seemed to
rtoairo OF me that sacrifice Of private
preference to public Interests. My lie
has been substantially that OF private
c:t,zon. It was. [ presume, the success of
efforts 10 which. as private citizen, had
shared to overthrow corrupt com bina
ton. then holding dominion in our netrop-
oils. aud to purify the judiciary, which
had become it's tool, that induced the
Democracy of the state, 10 1874. to nomi-
nate me for governor. This was done in
spite of the protests of a minority that the
part / bad born in those reforms had
created antagonism fatal to me as candi-
date. [ felt constrained to accept the
nomination as the most certain means OF
putting the power of the guberDatofial
ofice on the side of reform, and of
removing the impression wherever it
prevailed that the faithful discharge oil
duty as a citizen Is fatal to his usefulness
of public servant.
THE BREAKING OF THE CANAL RING,
the better management oil our public
works, the large reduction of taxes and
other reforms accomplished during my
administration doubtless occasioned my
domination for the pF.s.lency by the
Democracy of the uuion, ia the hope that
simiIar process would he applied

the responsibilities of such an under
taking, appalling as it seemed to me. |

canvass which ensued. the Democratic
party represented reform in the admins

restoration of our com plex political system

restoration to ALL If So he is bound to
give the same to the devils. Does any
man contend for this?
Was God bound to make the oyster a
fish, or the bramble an oak, or the ape a
man? Was he bo2nd to make every star
alike? Was he bound to offer escape
alike to man and fallen angel? Was he
bound to give his spirit to Pharaoh as to
David?
Let us see: Here are three boys of
equal age in the same village, going to
the same school, attending the same
church, named, respectively, John, James,
and Richard. John has parents remark
able for their faith in God, and in the
promises of God. James has parents,
who are church-members, and pious peo-
pie, but in no way greatly remarkable
as Christians. Richards father is roll
licking, goddess man of the world, who
spends his time at the card table and
dinner-table, while his wife is as worldly
as he is, and never thinks at all on reli-
gious subjects. The parents of John pray
for him without ceasing, crying nightly
day and night for his salvation, and en-
deavoring in every way to win him over
to the life of Christian James's pa
rents also pray for him, and make some
effort, though perhaps, feeble one, to
turn his thoughts on religion Richard s
parents never offer prayer for him, and
the subject of religion is never mentioned
by them in his presence except in an un-
friendly way, Now, do these three boys
stand an equal chance"
God has given to one advantages which
he has not given to the others The sal
walton of A may be determined by B, and
the salvation of G may fail because of the
inaction of B.

"A CORRESPONDENT writes us to say that
we were mistaken in naming Baxter and
Bunyan as upholders of the Puritan
Sabbath, and quotes from their works to
show that they wrote against it. We
would say to our friend that it is he who
is mistaken, not we. The paragraphs
cited by him are from articles written bv
Baxter and Bunyan against the observ-
ance of the Sabbath on the seventh dav
of the week-against those who held at
that time the opinion of the Seventh
Baptists-the Sdbbotarians as they were
called. Both of them contend for the
observance of the Lords day. Baxter is
very explicit andve pronounced on the
subject. Tn his treatise on "The Cate
chising Of Families, he speaks as follows
" O. How is the Lords day to be kept?
A. Not lin diverting, worldly thoughts
words, or deeds; much less in idleness or
vain pastimes; and, least of all, in such
sinful pleasures as corrupt the mind. and
unfit man for holy work, such as olut-
tony, drunkenness, lasciviousness stage
plays, romances, gaming, &c. But the
Lords day is specially separated to Gods
public worship in church communion
and the rest to private and secret holy
exercises. The primitive church spent
most Of the day together; and the public
worship should not only be preferred, but
also take up as much Of the day as we
can well spend therein. - TIE Catechts-

We are very we'll aware as mentioned
by our correspondent, that the early re-
formers on the continent, Calvin, Luther,
and others, did not regard the observance
OF Sunday as resting on the fourth COM
mandment, but merely as an ecclesiasti-
cal ordinance. This is not very surpris-
ing, if we consider their surroundings. and
that they had grown up with loose views
as to the observance of the day. The
Reformers also had incorrect notions as
to the proper relation between the Church
and the State. They adincorrect notions
as to religious liberty, and believed that
men might properly be prosecuted for en-
PERTAINING false views Luther had in
correct views about the Lords Supper.
&c. 1t took time to mature correct
views on all points There was vast
work to be done in reforming the theology
and practices of Rome. But the discus

is long story, and would require rather
a Review article than column in news

some day. There is good deal we want
to say about it. The true history of the
Lords Day is one of the most remarkable
things in the Bible and the exfoliation

they appear, is to subscribe for the paper.
The present letter was received after
the first side of the paper had been

The Rev. F. d. MOORE, of Covington,
Ky, writes note to the Dispatch of this
city complaining of the notice taken by
the CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN of the ser
mon delivered by him in Covington on the
9TH inst, on the Sabbath question. He
represents in this card that our article
was improper in its tone in that we un-
dertook to "ridicule his character, his
intelligence, and his information. Our
language, he says, was discourteous, and
is beneath consideration by a scholar, be-
cause such language is folly" He says
that the article is characterized by a
frivolous personal tone" and that the
writer has placed himself 50 beyond con
sideration by a gentleman. There is
more to the same effect.
We said in that article that Mr. Moore
had launched into deliverance on this
subject before he had thoroughly matured
his views" This language, we think.
was legitimate, because he declared in the
sermon itself, that he had no absolutely
clear convictions about it the observ-
ance of the Sabbath We spoke Of
his exploiting his views while in this
confused, perplexed, and uncertain state
of mind We do not think this Ian
guage is illegitimate, because he says in
the sermon that "he is almost, as it were,
at sea with regard to the matter.
We said, His head (Which we Judge
is not very strong one) has been turned
by just enough learning on the subiec to
daze his ideas, and instead of going pro
foundly into matter which requires pa
tent examination and thorough com
prehension of the genius and spirit of the
Christian religion, be has, &c.
We had no desire to wound Mr.. Moore's
feelings. We acted from sense of duty.
He, from the pulpit, from Presbyterian
pulpit, raised his hand against one of the
institutions of the Church He, occupy
ing the vantage ground of official position
threw a stone at one of the most cherished
beliefs of the Presbyterian denomination.
He, when the Christian and law-abiding
citizens of Covington were fighting the
battle of the observance of the Sabbath
fighting against that fearful dissertation
of this sacred day which prevails in Lou
isville, Cincinnati, and other western
cities-stepped forward in the robes of a
Presbyterian clergyman, and threw the
weight of his clerical character and
influence in the trembling scales, and ar
gued publicly that the movers in the anti
Sabbath crusade were right. We did not
question his motives we did not cues
ton his sincerity we deemed it a most
illjudged and ill-advised step. He is
comparatively young; he said that he
was at sea on the subject, that he had
"no positively clear convictions about
it; we, therefore, challenged his good
sense, and, as an act of faithfulness to the
people to whom. he ministers, and to the
public at large, attributed his conduct to
a want of mental balance and an INSULT
Gent study Of this really difficult subject.
We did not mean, we repeat, to impugn
his motives; we did not mean to impugn
his Christianity; we did mean to i'm
pugn his spirituality that ie To oneetior

ington, KY, held in the interest of Law
and Order, irrespective of Religious or

We make the following extract from
the Address of the Citizens Committee: :
Two important objects are presented for early
attention and proper action, viz
Relief from the effects of the growing intern
perate use of intoxicating drinks.
The consistent quiet observance of Sunday
rest as required by civil law
So much misery, disorder, and distress result
from the first that the most active and success
full means are at once demanded to secure relief
Time is precious in which to effect this reform
atory work, and all well wishers of humanity
are earnestly entreated not to omit any oppor-
tunity to present this cause accompanied with
such traternal solicitation as may be deemed
most effectual in influencing the life of fellow
man to the wisest course in the pursuit of happi-
ness
As to the second or proper observance of the
sunday rest: The sanitary economic, and
moral necessity of society has always required
1t, and that necessity is made more and more
manifest each year OF the worlds history and
progress, independent of any religious estimate
or demand Therefore it behooves us all to
preserve and properly observe it.

In political circles just now the in
teresting question is, whom will the
democrats nominate at Cincinnati {?
Fortunately for the country that
party has large number of
eminent and distinguished states
men from whom to select a standard
bearer, so that unless it is viii.
fully blind, or its voice is stifed
by the machine politicians, it
cannot fail to make a good nomina
ton. Among the three or four
gentlemen whom the nomination
seek we do not mean those who are
seeking the nominations Mr.
Seymour. Thousands of dem
cerats in all parts Of
the country who have the
welfare of the republic and Of their
party at heart are looking toward the
Deertield sage in the hope that he
may be chosen to herd the democratic
column in the coming struggle. A
dispatch from Syracuse on another
page seems to indicate that, notwith.
standing his well-known disinclipa.
tion to again enter the political
arena, Mr.. Seymour would, if he were
commanded by his party to take the
field, not hesitate to do so. Mr.. Sew
mour, it will be seen, has no sort Of
! doubt that he could carry New York
which is the real battle ground in
the next presidential election. The
party that carries it is rea-
sonably certain to carry the country,
II Cincinnati should reverse the order
of the states on the ticket nominated
at Chicago, giving the first place to
the Empire state and the second to
Ohio, it would lend an additional in
