Fnim these texts, the author evolves dnee prominent ideas, vix: "TUt the nations are'in a state of want, elffi t h e y could have no desire." "That there must be a violent, and uni- TBs^ diaking of the nations before the dtaif can come." And, "That the Desire will moat certainly 1 eomi. After a b r i e f review of the moral con- £tim of the nations, and the horrible ef- • f « U of nn upon the human fninily, the ntliar proceeds to show that the hope of. t h e k o t i a n s , for disenthrallment from civil ad^Iesmitical despotism, is centered tn i^iiK alms, and that tht timt it at hand, u i j a d l a s declared fay the mouth of His UyjProphets race the wnrd began, when He %hoae r ^ t i t i s , shall come in the d o d S o f h e a v e n , with power and great glo- T , i a d t a k e unto himself his great power, •dttign king of nadons as He is king of Bf ekariy shows, that the world has •t*^ to expect firom Protestantism in any •f iijt n m i a f o r m phases, and tiiat the ulti- aMitBdency of Protestantism is to unite od ^Sate with Bomanbm i n i t s unhallow- ^ upon the saints, and the pure doc- i l e ' ' o f the Bible. He demonstrates con- slsifely, that the principles of Bomaninm iaeorporated into the creeds of the dif- ^fHit protestant sects, which m only ei- ^'WWMs of the Komisb apostacy, and '.bt |o be c5ns.<itent, these sects must of aeeanty go back to the "bosom of their aahir.

Infant Baptism i s l o s i n g iU sanctity m the eyes of its supporters, and is rapidly Josing its hold altogether on the favor of the people, and will soon be banished from ihe church to the nursery. Traditionary practices are becoming odious, and there is a tiniversal inquiry after the primitive form of Church ffovfmment. Church aristocra- jries are beginning to shake, and th^ laity flemanding of their mlers their assumed rights. Conrolidated Methodism has bern shaken and dissolved, and the laity in the North are demanding thtir rights and claim- ing their privileges. The ball of lay repre- fenttttion has commenced rolling, nor will i t s t a y until it grinds the Episcopacy and ' Aristocracy into dust. But the Valley 'of' •|he Mississippi is destined to be the great Letter from DrJ Baococjt. itea towards God's %atUma: Israel, it rep- resented as a striking type of the hostility of the world, and the opposers of a p tive and uotraditionJsed Christianity papists and protestaots towards God's ipfr-' p®per to explain why the American apd ttual Israel.

As the whole Committee could not convenient- ly meet often enough, they appointed a sub- committee consisting of Drs. Robipson and Vcrmilye, who "met the collator once in each week, and sometimes oflener." P. 17. "Each sitting occupied several hours." Pp. 17, 18. All the "variations andother cases presented by the collator" were decided by this sub committee, except "coses of pecu- liar importance," which "were disposed of by the (whole) Committee at various meet- ings called for the purpose."

The first child replied,- "They do it immediately;" the second, "They do it dUigenUy;" the third. "They do it aluayt;" the fourth. "They doit wi^A all their heartt;" the fifth, "They do it altogether." Here a pause ensued, and no child appeared to have an answer; but af-^ ter some time, a little girl arose, and said, 'Why, sir. they do it aithout atking any quettiont." to the reeeiitioBof a p M a ' eamit^ and treatuMot of tbe Edam- D ecukx of IxrAST B apiism.—We have learned ^ m the best authority, that quite a number of well educated and talented young Protestant ministers in Switzerland and France are beginning to object to tbe practice of baptizing infants. Some of th«p regard i t a s an absurdity, some, edn* cated even in that birth-place of Presbyte- n b ^ ^ . A brighter day is dawning, when I n ^ t t ^ t i s m w i l l b e s e e n t o b e the poison- el Imkthat binds the Church and State (o> gether, and when a l l w h o value pure Spirit- ual Christianity will discard this last rem., aant of Popeiy.—Tru* ITaion. " Kufiu G h o a t e i* w r i t i n g a history ofi •Greece. our depository. Respectfully yours, Rorcs B abcock. Cor. Sec. Am. <t For. B. S. 16 Park Place, X. T., Dec. 26. 1853. OCB R bmabeb to D s. B ascock. D ear S ik—Your letter would have been published the week of its date, but for the illness of the editor to whom i t w a s person- ally addressed, which prevented his b e i n g i in the o f f i c e a t the time of its reception.— The explanations which yon have given are. to some extent, ver^ pertinent; b u t i n other respects, the l e t t e i - l u e l f needs expiration or revision. You wrtainly convey the idea that the AmericaiiBible Society^ in their so-called "collationl' has made no materi- al change except/fn "orthography, punc- tuation. italics, capital letters, and indefi- nite article;" and that nothing has been introduced into that "collation." which is not found i n o n e or more of the six editions collated. But such an idea is contrary t o i the well-known f a c t a i n tbe case.. We have before us a pamphlet of 32pages 8vo.. published by the Am. Bible Society, entitled " A Report on the History and Re- cent Collation of tbe £iiglish Version of the Bible, presented by the Committee on Ver- sions to the Board of Managers of tbe Am. Bible Society, and adc^ted May 1, 1851." This Report i g s i g n e d by Gardiner Spring, Thos. Cock. S H. Turner, Edward Robin-; Bon, Thos. E. Vermilye, John MoClintock,! Richard S- Storrs, jr., OommiUee on Ner-i sions. This Report was snbsequently a- dopted by the Society, and incorporated in the Annual Report of that body. From this Report we learn that "the attention of the Committee was drawn to the subject under oonsideration at their nieeting Oct 6th, 1847." P. 16, "After consideration, the Committee referred the matter to Ae Board of li^ager» ibr ooonsel u d d ^ - 'iiodSiio^ a » R a S i M l O n i r t w , " ^ t i o n ? ' Oct. 7. 1847; when "the matter was died at Washington a few days riD<«. i t a k e n up and considwed; and wm referred idea of the time, the attention, and the la- bor. bestowed on the work by the sub-com- mittee and the collator during the period of thzeeyeart." P. 31. Speaking of the im- portance of their work they say: "They have regarded i t f r o m the begin- ning aa a. matter of high importance; con- nected aa i t i s with the purity of that Boly Word, which it is the object and business of this Society to diffuse as widely as possi- ble." P. 3. Here i s o n e fact that no tane man will deny, that eight distinguished scholars, most, if not all of them, Doctors of Divin- ty, occupied more or less of their time for three years, and bestowed much "la- bor," making changes in our English Bi- ble, which they declared to be of "high im- porunec." Now, f o r y o n to represent in the face of such facu, that all this expenditure of mon- ey, and time and toil, by so many learned and talented men, has produced nothing but some unimportant changes in orthogra- phy, punctuation, italics, capital letters, and indefinite articles; and that in these the things changed were only "variations, not error*;" that "there i s n o t one which mars the integrity of the text, orafiects any doc- trine or precept of the B i b l e , " is t o impeach the Wisdom and common s e n s e o f that Com- mittee. Ills fallacious tosay that;>«n<Aui(ton,&e., is not an essential part of the tratulation. For the collocation of words, the pointing of sentences and clauses, o r t h e u s e of cap- ital letters, o r a n y other significant signs be- longing to the language employed in any v e r s i o n , is j u s t a s t r u l y a n d e s s e n t i a l l y apart of the translation, as the words themselves; and a change of pointing, which "affects the sense." i s a n alteration of t h e t e x t , just as real and important, as though the same variation of the sense were effected by a change of words. All this is proved and exemplified by the alteration made by the Am. Bible Society in Rom. 4: 1, and by numerous instances where they have, by tbe use of capital letters, so altered the sense of words as to make them signify entirely different things; as in Rev. 11:11, Uieword "spirit" i s t h u s made, in their "collation" to signify some finite existence, instead of tbe third person in the adorable Trinity, as heretofore applied by the common version of King James. But changes have been made anew in the words of the text, showing plainly that your representation i s n o t true. Take the following examples: In Cant 3: £. and 8:4, the phrase which was renderid by King James' translators, and has been uniformly read in every suc- cessive e d i t i o n o f the common verdon.thus: "till he please," the Am. Bible Society has translated in their "Collation," now open before us, as follows: "till she please:" of which they say "In C a n t . 3 : 6 , a n d 8:4, the translators, and all tbe copies have, 'till he please.' All these instances have, of course, \been co'rrected according to the Hebrew." Report p. 19. . Here the Committee testify, that ^ g James', "translators, and all the copies," " published as "standard editions" since their first issue of 1611, reader Cast 3: 5, and 4 . " t i l l i * please." hutthatin this '^Col- lation" of the Am. Bible Society, made in was ever expressed in King James' ver sion. Is not this a "new version?" Is ft not the new" version of the Amsrican Bible So- ciety? You know that such a reading was never found in the version of King^James; yet yon tell the public that t t w a s collated from one of the six'bait version; that it is not*^ liSa^ifler^ translation." (0 spirit of Ananias, when will thy snecesMrs cease to te f o u n d i n the Christian Church!) Yon know t h a t i n this passage King James' versioii has unifonnly omitted a portion of the inipfred original; y e t y o n t e l l t h e p u b l i e t h a t it i m only a"vs- rialion, not en error," and jhat i t w a s not a variation "which mars thejnt^grity of the text." How can a s a n e man t a l k s o , tmless be imagines that aU the rest of mankind are bereft of reason? The above are only specimens of what may be found througfaut this "collation" of the Am. Bible Society. We hara eX amined tbe work pretty thoroughly, and are prepared to exhibit its variations from the common verson by thousands; proving that many of them, though maten^y affecting the sense of the text, have been made with out any authority from the "standard edi tioos" of Kmg James' rersion. And how i t i s p o s s i b l e that a man profitssing to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, who was himself tbe embodiment of TstrrB. can. in the^^ace of such facts, testify with all the assmnce of a public o f f i c e r , t o a htmdred thousand readers, that the American Bible Society has made no revision of.,the text; that not one error which mar* the text has been cor- rected; and no changes have been made, except to restore the text to fiie "standard editions," we cannot undetttand. I t i s our clear and settled conviction that the changes made by Rev. James W. McLean, and a- dopted by the Am. Bible Society, in the commonly received English version, though they embrace but a small portion of tbe faulty renderings of that version, yet in- v o l v e all t h e p r i n c i p l e s a n d e x a m p l e s reqms- ite to sanction the most thoroo^ revision according to the exact meaning of the inspir- ed originaL What you say of the British and Foreign Bible Society i s n o t correct, but your "va- riaticn" may arise f r o m a watltof informa- tion. That Society has not always procur- ed supplies of Bibles and TestamenU "by purehate rather than publication, as the ul- timale plan of operation for economy's sake;" n o r d o we believe that such econo- my win ever be appreciated in any Society. If Bibles c a n b e purchased cheaper of the American Bible Society than you can pub- lish them, there is n o e c o t i o m y in auntain- ing you merely aa a purchasing or £tirii- uting agtH; since individuals can just as well go there and buy for themselves, and all gratnitous distributions can be made to better a d v a n t ^ through that Society. AH this must be obvious to your own mind; and the change which yon say has been made in the policy of the Amiricsn and Foreign Bible Society, must ultimately lead to the relinqmshment o f t h e Home department,' as reoommended in the ab^ Report of Bir. Granger OB this SBbjeeC ^spfears; thra; tEat fSe Boarf of the Am. and For. Bible Society has b^^revji?: ing the common version.

We give Brother Dagg the advantage of the expressioa "without endorsing every aentwuiti contained in the book."

There is much in the book that seems indefinite and obsctire to the general rea-der. He asks himself, "what do<>» the au-thor mean her^^ Does he mean what he says? Does he mean to cast a donbt Upon the authenticity of the Scripiares? Does he mean that the Gospel was designed only to direct and assist in the^ development of human nature by Uie perfect example of Christ, instead of a moral renovation of that nature by the renewing of the Holy Spirit?—wliat does he mean by the continu-al use of the term 'development' both with respect to the church and human nature, character, ^c?" The reader, not suspect-ing the mine of error over which he is pass-ing, ia perplexed became he is unacquaint ed with lh« religions ( r ^ e r anti-religious) views of the authqp.

It is proper for us to discover, so far as it is possible, what his peculiar views are. We ^ o w but little of him, simply because he ia young and tcn^cowa. The translator if he is possessed of his history or his reli-giotis views is careful to wi.hboid them.— He informs us that the treaii:>e was written some fifteen years since—that it "is com-mended by Keander, in his Life of Christ, aa the production of a promising yottt^ theologian [neologian] of Lubeck and a work tteJ/ fiiied for general circulation."*—

-We may reasonably suppose that the views of the author and the teachings of this book correspond to the viewa of Keander upon the subjects treated in it.

Again. The translator, (W. 0 . Dun-can,) tells us that among the writers to whom he is taotf indeited, whom indeed he has coTtfuUy comulted on every point of importance, he would mention J. G. £ . Leopold, Dr. A. Xeander. in hia Life of Jesus," and seven or eight other acknowl-edged German rationalists! Can a sweet stream flow from a bitter fountain? We may safely conclude, from this acknowl-edgement, that the views of these writers upon the subjects discussed, are strongly reflected ia thia book.

Now what are the well known views of Neandcr upon some subje^s treated in Bohden's worL They will be found in his "Life of Christ," the only work of Nean-der'a consulted by Mr. Duncan in prepar-ing this! ^

B R S T H U I T : — W e the eommittee of the

ehareh of Christ at Concord, having care-

fully perused the contenU of youra ia reyly

to ouTi, bearing date of April 26ih, have

thought proper to make another attempt to

give yon defined proposition.^. In the ones

before stated in our last, yon accuse us of

ambiguity. W e wQI attempt in the present

to rid onrseWes of all such words or sen-

tcnaes. W e thought a i ^ still think that

we have made our poaiiiona plain, that

there is not one word or sentence in the

propositions given in oar last, that is the

least ambiguous. But inasmuch as you

think differently, we will sgain attempt to

bring matters to your comprehension. Y o n

state two propositions, which you say con-

stitute the foundation of Mr . Campbell's

system. Y o u then call upon us to defend

them. N o w we would in reply to you just

here'^remind TOU, that we have never pro-

tmth belierer. in t h ^ w e ' m a y " a p * e , '

if so, there will be no cause for requesting

• n investigation with yoo in this matter.

W e have before stated, that the quotations

50U gave to us from the writings of Broth

er Campbell were in onr opinion objection*

able. X o w in conclusion, we would say to

you, that we have aimed at fsirness, we are

sincere in saying we want a debate, and as

you have requested it of us, we wiH give

you the name of the man that w e would

like to meet oar man Fanning, it is J . R .

Graves of Nashville, but should you prefer

Mr . Hurt, we will not object. W e will ex-

pect that you bear half of tho expenses of

the proceedings of the discussion. Should

yon & v c r us so as to have one in short, wa

will expect all the proposals of our first

letter, and will not agree to debate upon no

other terms than first proposed. Y o u call-

ed upon us to define our position, we have

done so in plain and in unequivocal terms.

Yours respectfully,

I send yon a copy of our minutes

from the late session of West Tennessee

Baptist Convention. Our Recording Sec-

retary, done all that mortal man, under the

circumstances, could do, to have the min-

utes out in a few weeks after our meetmg

adjourned; but it seems we are doomed to

be disappointed by printers every year.

Knowing there has been some dissatis-

faction heretofore, it is due to Brother Bo-

rum, our Correspondiog Secretary, that I

say he has slwnys done the best be could,

a w a n U to her bed side, and addressed to them

personally, and paiticnlarty her dying charge.—

To her hnaband she said she had nothing to fear,

and resrettrd nothing but leaving her dear and

beloved family. T o two queetions, propoanded

by her hosband, tonehing love to Chritt and trust

in bin name, she replied, with lilted hands, eyes

and voice, "Lore Jeaua? Tee, oh, y»«!" and ex-

claimed, "Oh , blessed Savior! whom ran I truft,

if not the Redeemfr? Who eonld sastain me as

he has done, and is still doing?" Rhe rzborted

her chHdrea to love and obey their father, to luve

nn» another, and, above all, to love and bervc God.

To an old, motherly servant, she exclaimed, "Je-

•os is making up my dying bed." and exhorted

all to prepare to meet her in heaven.

Tha«, her loss to society and the chnrrh Is ipest,

but to her family irreparable; for so husband ever

lost a better wife, or children a more aflSKtionate

and devoted mother. But God, tl«i righteous

Judge, has done it; and wliile we believe, there-

fur*, it is right, yet we mast mourn, though not

as those without hope, for in and by her life, a

comfortable hope waa created, and confirmed by

her death "Jesus can makeadying bed feel soft

I as downy pillows are." May our last end be like

her-a.

which G o d for

our sins. N o w you cannot with any con-'

Rstency accuse us of ambiguity in the above

exposition of onr and your views on the

design of baptism, you say it is not in the

conditions of pardon; we say it is. There

is no difficulty in getting at tu on this point

which is the main point of difference. W e

have stated it in plain terms, not to be mis- i

taken by any who wish to understand.—!

N o w will you meet us with Bible in hand '

and investigate tliia matter of difference;

with ua. W h y evade the point at issue,!

by calling upon us to defend the writings of

Brother Campbell, or at least certain phra-

ses pened by him; we as a christian body

have never acknowledged him as an infal-

lable exponent of our faith, we lecc^niie

him aa a brother in the Lord and from all

that we as a committee have read of his

ritings on spiritual influences, we consiri-

er him as orthodox as any man in the land.

The quotations however which yoo have

selected and of which you have formed

your propositions to us, are in our opinion

objectionable, and we believe is so consid-

ered by the brotherhood generally. N o w

I we could, with the same propriety, that you'

ask ua to defend Campbell, ask yon to de-

fend the writings of some prominent m a n ,

in your ranks. But doing so. we would

consider that we w^re unreasonable in onr

requeat, from the fact that we know that j

you take the Bible for your standard of i

faith and practice. A n d yon know that we!

acknowledge nor U k e no other. But things

cut after the same pattern are alike; yet in

our prtnciples and practice we differ, we

therefore are not, cannot both be right

But yoa say you are right, that the Baptist

chnreh is anthorijed by the scriptures; w e '

eay yoa are by the scriptures aa unauthor-

ized body. Will yon meet us and let us

eom{»re your principles and practice with

the good old standard, the Bible, yon will

not; it seems to us yon dare not. Uence.
