MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1849. ADDRESS PRESBYTERIAN SYNOD OF NEW YORK Israclites within thelr District. Brethren, ‘be oved for the fathers’ sakes:”— Jn taking the usual step of presenting a formal ad- dress to you, we introduce ourselves as an ecclesiastical body, embracing nine Presbytenies, mx of which are in New York city and the vicinity, and two in China. The ordained ministers of these Presbyteries, who, for the most part are pastors settled in churches, and the lay delegates from our church sessions, are, according to our constitution, the members of our body. We come together annually as a Synod, and our chief object is to devise and carry out the best plans for the edification of our churches. the fact that you have an immense and incre: influence among our churches and in our country: hence we have resolved as a body to acknowledge your preeence and influence, and to send you an address on owr common relations and interests. In respect to both our faith and our spiritual of- ficee, we feel ourselves united to you by strong and The history of our offices of pastor and ruling elder runs back into the history of your synagegues. It is our own history which we are endeavoring to trace to its fountain head, when we examine how it was the ancient custom in Israel to convene, on sacred days, in the houses of the prophets, for religious exercises ; and how, after the Babylonish captivity, rynagogues were erected an nearly all the villages of the Jews, for the read- ing of the law, for the exposition of the Seriptures, and for prayer. According to our view, the local service of the temple, with its bloody offerings, ita altars, its priesthood, and its mysterious ceremo- nies, was never designed for all the nations of the earth, was very inconvenient for even the Jews themselves, and was unquestionably destined to accomplish its restricted aad preparatory work ina few centuries, and then entirely cease; but the synagogue was the institutioa which God raised up, during the gradual decline of the glory of the temple, that it might carry, simply and yet effectu- the essential truths, and all the essential benefits, of the temple to every city, to every vil- e, and to the door of every family. The temple, with all its awful grandeur and dark ceremonies, was to be dissolved, and everything in it worth preservation was to be cominitied to the simple reading, exposition, and prayer of the synagogue. joriously his own plans for , aud the promotion of his glory, in all the earth, when he moved the Jews to multiply synagogues in Jerusalem, aod throughout Palestine, in Alexandria, and back on Jerusalem, betore her fival destruction by Romans, with her four hundred and eighty synagogues, and acknowledge that there is the We see, in your present syna- gogues, the clearest proofs that we both have the game origin; and we find « special proof of our oneness with the ancieut synagogue, in tne atte tation of history, that in the synagogues ot the Hel- lenist Jews the law was read ia the Alexandrian, The Christiza church was the Our pastor is your Shelianh ‘of the church, or Hazan, and itis a Presbyterian peculiarity to acknowledge no office higher than this.

Itis an equally tearfal proof that the synagogue is far gone in wpostacy, when it has ceremonies of the existence of whic ancient people of God the seviptar the least iptemation, and of the they furnish no evidence. prayers in behalf of the dead, have not even the slightest foundation in the word of God Let the religious tions of the members of ain sist chiefly in peculiarities of food, of drees, of such outward things, and h can infallbly identify an apostate synagogue, How i and reasonable the priaeiple | ton liberal, enfighteniog, It is necessary thi few euggestions, wh It is a fearfal sy, the synagogue, W read, itis useles r instance, your religious dist not meat and drink; buat righteous ness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.” inh, in severely reproving his js strongest charge “And theit fear The prophet Teaish, for their hypoensy, intred ices bi against them in these words: A toward me is taught by the precept of men that their fear of God, or prety, bad more than implicit obe This reproof comes t if we are governed by haman itions tn our most solemn religious genes 5 ‘ human precepts jience to ardi- duties , for instance, gan ing the Sabbath: when, before sunset we must commence ? how we may then read, bya emp or fire? what we may permit another to do with a lamp? what prayers we must say in the morning ? in what way we must put on the shawl, and handle the fringes? how we must make an offering for the privilege ot taking out the scroll from the ark, and ‘or the honor of returning it, and for the inspection of the seven portions in the ge for the day ? yhat geetzass. we must make in the service before the ark ? how many meals we must have in the day? and how we must go through the afternoon and evening services? All this looks be like a fearof God that is a senseless precept of men. It appears to us very clear, that the great object of the synago e among us ought to be to do good epiritually to all men—to enlighten, sanctify and save all men. The temple itself, with all its re- strictions, was to become a blessing to all nations, and G up the synagogue ont of its ruins to fulfil this purpose. How peas, then does the fy nagogus forget its origin and ifs commission, when its instructions and prayers are for none but Jews? The consciousness that we are debtors to all men, Jews and Gentiles, Greeks and barbari- ans, bond and free, is one of the most essential and powerful sentiments in the bosom of every worthy member of the synagogue. And when this consciousness ceases spiritual life ceases. The synagogue on earth sheuld be as open to all men, and its richest spiritual privileges should be as freely and earnestly pressed on the acceptance of all men, as the privile; of the heavenly temple are freely offered to men. If you believe that the Gentiles will certainly enter heaven, without coming to the light of your synagogue— without embracing your faith and reading your scriptures, as otherwise, you cannot, in the na- ture of things, be prompted by any potent coavic- tion of duty, or any sentiment of benevolence, to make sacrifices for their spiritual interests. It 13 the love of immortal souls, and the fear that they will perish, and the conviction of the obligation and privilege to labor for their salvation, that cai the worthy missionaries of the synagogue, wil the word of hfe, to the ends of the earth. And where these powerful motives are not felt, it easy to eccount for the want of a missionary spirit. ‘e enticipate that the mest weushiy rent which ‘ou will make to our address, is this—that you ave no faithia many of our leading doctrines, and that, therefore, you cannot form any union with us. You will admit at once that there are tome probabilities in favor ef our doctrtnes. Jesus Christ and his apostles certain!y stand, in history, as worthy of credit, as the rabbis of the Talmud. There is as great a probability that Paul under- stood the original Judaism, and explained it honestly, in his epistle to the Hebrews, as that the writer of the Miehna understood it some hundreds of years afterwards. Permit us to enquire whether you have thoroughly and candidly examined our doctrines? We are afraid that is ny you have never read the New Testament. We hope to be uble to supply all of you, who willing to read, with Bibles containing both testaments; and we press it upon you to examine the subject more teerenghie ae prayerfully. If christianity is true, it 1s your highest interest to embrace it. A Have you ever examined the argument in the epis- tle to the Romans? Have you never felt the force of the preots preeented there that the Gentiles are ruined in sin, ard that the Jews, themselves, never can stand justified before Ged, in their own righteousness? Is not all this sufficiently proved by the few quotations from the old Testament, jlaced together in the third chepter? If the sin- ner is thus, on his own account, under the deadly condemnation of the law of God, i that the righteousness of Jesus Chri person whom we hold him to be, 1s perfeet, and evflicient for the most unworthy?) How do you account for the origin of our doctrine of justifea- tion, if itisa fable? Do you see nothing grand and attractive in the doctrine that God has entered into difierent eovenants with man; and that, the first covenant, all have fallen into sin and con- demnation through the sin of the first man, 0 we must be restored and justified through the obe- dience of the Head of the second covenant? Bat » that you examine the whole epistle te 4 bayer i Ye commend, especially, the epistle to the He- brews to your careful and prayertul examination. Here you have the arguments and admonitions the great disciple of Rabbi Gamaliel, whieh he ad- dressed to his own people. First, he argues that Christ is superior to angels, and to Moses himself; end then he admonishes us not to destroy ourselves through unbelief, after the example of the Israel- ites in the wilderness, who, through unbelief, lost the promised rest of God. He argues, further, that | the doctrine of the priesthood of Christ basa foun- dation broadly ond deep! 1 seriptures ; that, i particular, David speaks of a single priest who should be after the order or de- ecription of Melehizadek rather than of Aaron; aad that Christ’s priesthood does correspond to that of Melehizadek, in having no priestly genealogy—in being as a priest without either predecessor or suc- ceseor, and in having a venerable antiquity, an establishment and duration which prove 1t superior to the priesthood of Aaron. He argues, that while the Aaronic priests were sinful men, and needed to bring bloody offerings for themselves, Christ wes personally free from all sin; that while the high priest repeated bis great atonement annual: ly, Christ has made one all-suflicient atonement, and that while the priests made their atonements in the earthly eanctnary, Christ has presented his in the heavenly temple. ihe argues that the sacrifices of animals were insufficient ef themselves to give peace to the conscience of the offender ; and that, on the eq f va 10 a perfect reconciliation and assurance vation. Hle argues that one of the offerings, and that one of the prophets speaks of new covenant unlike the covenant made at Sinai. itis true that there is an smpossibility of any union | between us while there is this ditlerence in our doetiines ; hence we urge on you again the exami- nation of our sacred scriptures. e remind you, alse, that there may be some minor difficulties in an argument, while the argument itself is, in its eseential parte, perfectly clear and irresistible. Brethren, your history, for fifteen hundred years before Christ, 18 distinguished by your special fa- vor with Go » particularly, by the familiarity = , of your prophets with the mind of God; for the Inst eighteen hundred years you have suffered the mort cruel persecutions ; your synagogue has, in all probability, been standing immovebly on ground loreign to its original purpose i, and you have, ap- parently been spared only to s the fulfilment of the threatenings of your law. almort crashed throvgh your own viol end the revenge of the Romans; you have ex- perierced, most bitterly, the deceit of the first friendship of Mohammedanism, and we are sorry | to edd that Christendom, itself, in direct opposi- he teaching of o the pposition to you. to know what you have suffered from the crusades, and in Spain, France, and other countries; and we, ae christiens, certainly ought to have less sympa- thy with your persecutors than you have. perly, us, The spirit of perseeutiy able to the presbyterian chure 0 yourselves.

[From the London Daily weer We receive at last from our own correspondent the following account of the final struggle for in- cependence of the brave Hungarian chiefs. It cannot but be read with intense interest, as the report of an English gentleman, an eye witness of those fatal events :— ived here with the Hungarian army on the 3ist ult. There are now encamped in the neighborhood of Widdin (in- cluding Poles and Italians) upwards of 5,000 men, all of whom have been disarmed by the Tarks. In the meanwhile shee receive rations, though not very regularly, and the authorities make a great parade of hospitality; but the inveterate corruption of Turkish administration has in this instance not failed to display itself. In Wallachia the Hun- Alice officers have been plundered by a certain ehemet Pacha, who, pretending that the Porte would have to indemnify the Austrian govern- ment, hi neaeeoeisied the horses and personal efiects of the officers. Kossuth had reached Widdin ten days previous to the arrival of Bem end Guyon. He was accompanied by Generals Dembinski_ and Messaros. All these illustrious exiles are, I am sorry to say, in a state of positive destitution. There can be no greater proof of his pebiotion and disinterestedness, than that after aving bad the disposal of the accumulated re- sources of all Hungary for more than a twelve- month, Kossuth should quit that country with not more than 500 ducats in his possession. The greater part of this sum he has already disbursed in alleviating the distresses of his brother exiles. We are in daily expectation of a firman from Co: stanunople, which will determine the future lot and destination of the emigrants. From private letters we hear that they are to be transported to Candia; but I think there will be fouad to be many insurmountable objections to such a scheme. _ Ihave only time to say a tew words on the sub- ject of the sudden catastrophe to which [ was an eye-witness in Hungary. From my first arrival there, about three months ago, | was struck with the tone of despondency which, in discussing the prospects of war, universally prevailed among the officers of the Hungarian army. All labored un- der the conviction, that resistance against the com- bined forces of Russia and Austria was altogether hopeless. General Georgey, instead of endeavor- ing to promote a_ better spirit, did all in his power to increase this demoralisation. Jt is now evident, that he long meditated the defection and treachery he was at last guilty of. Had he, according to the instructions he received from his government, ef- fected a junction between his corps and that ot Dembinski, which he had many opportunities of doing, itis certain that the war might at_ any rate have been protracted to an indefinite period. But he preferred any alternative—even that of playing the part of a traitor—to surrendering, or even dive ding his authority with any other general ; and on the first report of the defeat of Dembinski’s cor he hastened to capitulate to the Russians. Had he, on the other hand, waited for a few days long- er, he would have learnt that the army in question had rallied five days atter the battle of ‘Temesvar, and having been joined by the corps under Kmet- ing and Vetchey, was in every respect stronger and more formidable than it had been before. e nak Iigsas 7,000 cavalry, (in which the Hun-. gariaps had a great superiority over the enemy,) and almost 20,000 infantry. In the battle betore ‘Temesvar, at which | was present, victory had de- clared itself for the Hungarians. From 11 o'clock, a m.,tilld in the afternoon, they had driven the enemy from position to position. He had brought up all his reserves, Russians and Austrians ; as a last resource, he had charged with all his caval- He which was routed by the hussars; and at this decisive moment, when our whole line, in- fantry, cavalry, and artillery, was advancing, and contident of victory, our cannon—at first upon the left wing ena centre, and thea upon the right, ceased firing, and the fatal discovery was made that all our ammunition had, through some de- plorable blunder or treachery, been sent forward on the read to Arad. The enemy on his side, per- ceiving this ominous silence, took heart, and got his guns once more into position; while for the Hungarians there receaned treat. der from the field of battle. Unfortunately, we had in our rear an extensive forest. [nto this the whole army, unmolested by the enemy, had defiled before sunset; but during the night they disbanded and dispersed of themselves in every direction, it betng impossible for the generals in the intricacies of the forest to maintain anything like order and control. Had the Austro- Kussian generals acted with energy the next morning, the army could not have been collected again ; but for six days they remained in- active, and in the meanwhile, as I have already said, the Hungarians had been again concentrated at Lugos. It was here that Rem, who, though suf- fering severely from the dislocation of a shoulder, thowed his habitual cheerfulness and presence of mind, adopted the bold resolution of marching by the Deeva Pass into Transylvania. He caleulated that, with the force he had already there and the large reinforcement he was bringing to it, he would Wippin, Sept. 11. last wrecks of the have an army of at least 60,000 men, and upwards | ot 200 pieces of artillery, and at the head of this he | | made sure of expelling the Russians, and alter- wards shutting all the passes, twelve in number, into T: ‘This plan, which was undoubt- edly practicable, was submitted to an assembly of the Hungarian generals and superior oflicers at Lu- gos; but, though it was at firet embraced by them with apparent enthusiasm, the example set by Geors ey at Arad had begun to exereise a fatal influence. We had also a traitor amongst us when the army had reached Futchet, where the road branches off in one direction to Arad, and in the other to Transylvania. General Vetchey, who, while promusing the most zealous support to Bem, had been engaged in seducing the officers of his corpa, suddenly declared his intention of proceed: Arad with a view of benefiting by and being in- cluded in the capitulation granted by Marshal | kewitsch to Georgey. ‘The contagion ef this das- tardly spirit spread rapidly among the rest of the troops, and not more than 4,000 men could be in- duced to follow Bem and Guyon into Transylva- in. On reaching Deeva we fell in. with the out- sof the Russian army, commanded by Luders. Bem attacked the Russians with his usual spirit, nd when | arrived there with Guyon, who com- mended the rear, we found he had driven them cut, and Was in possession of the place. nounced also his determination, notwithstanding his numerical inferiority, of attacking them the next morning. It was vainly urged to him by his officers, that the myoes heo desperate, and that nothing then was to done but to capitulate. He auswered that he had not come to Hunga- ry to treat and negotiate with the Russias; “and haye I not, moreover,” he added, “still sixty eces of artillery, end would you deprive me of the pleasure we may yet derive from the music of h an orchestral’ All, however, was of no he could no longer inspire his troops with is own undaunted mettle, if he bad remain- ed another day at Deeva, probably the only man in his army who would have remained staunch to him was General Guyon. The other officers had already clandestinely agreed upon a truce of 24 hours with the Russians; and we learned there me talk among them of making better terms emeelves, by sacrificing and giving up Bem and Guyon | It wasclear, therefore, that they had only to provide for their own safety, and, escorted by [00 men, they retraced their steps to Lesneth, end then struck off to the left over the mountains to Kusederg. From thenee we marched in the night to Morel, where we found General Kmetthy and 12 other Hungat officers, who, in endeavor ing to meke their escape through the wooda, had been captured by the wild Wallach bing them of their money, they had hesitated whe- they should murder or detain them, with a view of | being rewarded fgr their seizure by the Austrian government. They had been in the meanwhile confined mull, and on our arrival at Morel, the Wallachians, mistaking us for Austrians, had be trayed their own secret, but subsequently, te pre- vent detection, set fire to the mill; «nd by the tumely diveovery ot the place of their detention, the brave Kmetihy and fis companions narrowly escaped being burnt alive by those wretches. Four of them, with halters about their necks, were dragged into the presence of Bem, who, however, with bis usual eration—for he is as mild and ha- mane ashe t—spared their lives, and mere- ii ly insisted that they and the pope of the village should accompeny Us as guides over the frontier. [ see that the Austrian journals have, as usual, completely mirrepresented the cc nduct of the Hungarians at Morel, which, under the cireumstances and the pro- vocation they hed received, was most forbearing apd mereiful. Their behaviour, indeed, offers, ia this respect, a perfect contrast to that of the Aus- trans. Asa proof of this, Lhave only to mention the following fact, on the authenticity of which you may place the fullest dependence. During our ehort stay at Ruseberg, we were hoepitably enter- teined by @ family of the name of Madersbuch.— The must d lady of the house, thoagh Ger- mens, took no pains to dieguise their sentimente, which were favorable to the cause of Hungarian independence. A few days afier our departure, General Hoynay arrived at Ruseberg, and earaged, apparently, at the escape of Rem and Guyon, vent- ed his tury on those who had treated them with no alternative bat re- | They accordingly retired in very good or- | | had two blad After rob- | lady of the house to be flogged, and she was after- poe cragged barefoot, by hrs soldiers, as if as Hatseg.

This is by no means the only instance of Austrian brutality that has come to my knowledge; it is of a_piece with the general tenor of their conduct in Hungary, Nothing can be urged in palliation of it.
