A WILMINGTON AUTHOR.
The Voice OF Nature Isowis for Justice
and Cannot Get II.


DR. James p WEIGH has imposed duty
upon the religious editor by leaving q
small pamphlet, OF when ne Is tne
author for review
The fitle "The Voice of Nature Calls
for Justice does not give a clear indica-
tion Of the contents, but the blue covers
rive a faithful impression Of the depress,
ing effects of the philosophy they
conceal. 1t is blue from beginning to
end ana the further the reader proceeds
the bluer it gets--and the madden he
gets
The pamphlet treats all subjects in q
hysterical style and is Of religio-socialis-
tic character. Like all writings of that
character, dissatisfaction is expressed,
and fault found with established religious
creeds, and with society at large as at
present constituted. The writer appears
to have particular grudge against min
listers and implies and inputes to them
the breaking Of every sin, in the deca-
logue which he does not believe.
1t is impossible to review the pamphlet
because it is impossible to conclude what
it means, what it was written for and to
whom it is addressed.
There are some shrewd, and many
is rambling condemnation of every
thing which exists, and zoo previous eff
fort to condemn many other things
which are supposed only to have al
| existence.
But we do not comprehend how tht
voice of nature calls for justice any mor'
perceptibly or persistently than 1T CALI
for virtue, for independence, or for any
thing else that it cannot get. The fact is
we do not know the voice of nature, anC
If she has voice. we have never hearC
| it calling for justice.
The case has been referred to tbs
musical editor, aud if he can suggest an
remedy for the defects in the voice Of
nature It viii be printed hereafter. Il
not, the pamphlet viii repose quietl
till the base bali season begins, when
will be turned over to the base bal
editor. But we do not believe the voic
Of nature win succeed in obtaining jus
tice even though she howled for it wit
