And yet if such a volley ot loud menoccs and calumnies do not surprise, they certainly ean i pee us with no alarm, for we are forwarned and fore- armed for the encounter. Perchance our readers may have noticed the line of conduct followad by us in regard to our incorrigible enemies—while they affeoted silence and moderation, because they judged such & course more consonant with their ends, we imitated them and were thomgh none the less watebful ; we them devoted ourselves, with far more usefuiness, we think, to the discussion of those improvements and ameliorations of which we ¢ver have been and will be strenuous advovates. But now it scema they prefer the noisy route. We shall go forward then to mect them, and aceept the fight on the gronnd whieh they have selected. Let ue add that it 18 certainly not the most favorable %o them. Taking it for granted that the Sw» and its con- temporories are not moved witbout cause at the trustworthy reeital of Mr. William Smith, (that pradent gentleman whose refined taste allows him to justly to appreciate the duties of imposod-on strapger® accepting the hospitality of a generous pation, and whom we would beg to pre homage tothe dreadtal chimera, the Aico c ) taking it for granted we say, that they are sincere, we shall endeaver to demolish the euperetrnetare which they have raived, aud to destroy one by one all the foundations of their apparent concern. Phe tack is uninviting, we confess, and it may be that, like the insects of the fable, they may conceive our excessive estimate of their importance, on meeting the unexpected horrors ef dissection. But since wo have edopted the frank and open course we must carry it forward, andtavrificing personal repngnance to our duty, seck to expose the miserable and puc- Tile calumnies on which the enemies of public rest and bapiness found their attacks. And now, before all, we would touch upen a topic, too revious and sad to be handled with the tono of eupreme contempt, which is the only one such ad- versaries deserve. Itis true that Divine Providence has willed that that scourage, which during the last twenty years has decimated civilized nations, should appear amorgst us. It is true that tho cholora exists in our city, and no one sceks to mako a mys tery of the fact; and we do not resort to miserable, expedients to conceal the information, nor do #é imitate t! onduct of some communities, where, for the sake of indulging a taste for noise and confasion, exaggerated reports are unsparingly spread among the terror stricken people. But between the slight in- crease of mortality, produced by this scourge, where compassion and regpect ; between this slight incrouse of mortality, we say, avd the dreadful ravages which the papers of New York so love to dwell upon. there is, thanks be to Heaven, an unlimited abys: Of this, the uninterrupted tranquillity which we en- joy, aud which is so great as to allow all .to parsac their daily oecupations, as at all times ; of this, we say, a tranquillity of which no one can afivet igno- rance, is a proof ; of this, the uuinterrapted publi- cation of the returns of the hospitels, whose faithful and exact returns are 2 never jailing thermometor, indicating the changes in the sanitary condition of the city, are another equally strong proof; ant should more detaile be required in rezardto tho cholera, we should give them with that strict regard | | for truth from which we shall never depart. | city of Havana and ics extensive suburbs, the num- | ber of cases has never passed twenty to twenty-four Ta the ag an average number, and the deaths fluctuated Painfal as the matter is, sad state Which has been so cruehy ani maliciously deseanted vpen But the worst feature in the whole case is theeow- th to these rumors: me time back the wretches sought to seduce the humerous and patriotic army, that burned to ¢ tise them, ine) ita allegia Bus then th Spanish soldiers, They now dreaw ¢ will br ak down the barrie nd with this y tock to magnify it as best they cam. Cowards, and, at the ssme time, fools! We shall bave another trial: but beware how you come to the test, 3 will find that there are yet bayonets to chastise you as you merit. We think that the refatation of this ove calumny alere is sufficient to show the value of the rest; but there is yet another point which we wou'd touch Trove it is that arrests have been made in Havana, by perfidious suggestions to conspire against antho- rity and order. Some of them, seized /lagranti delivio, were imprisoned, and from the wdiestions afforded 0 them it may bs that others, suspected ot conniving at their efforts, may also have been arrested. Aud we would further sty, that not. only criminals have heen seized, but all those that imitate their conduct shall also be seized and punished. No government can porsibly exist thet allows treason to walk ua- harmed, much Jess a government like ours, pos- sessed of energy sufficient to put it down, and re- solved to do so, in defence of society, even though rigor be necessary. Let not the pirates expect im- punity; ond if they have heretofore mistaken a generous clemency for weakness, (for they are inac- Neither the Spanish government, nor the firm authority representing it in Cuba, will tolerate one single culpable attack. But from this state of things to the Sylla-like proseriptions, which according to some ascounts have desolated our peaceful city, how wide a diflor- ence is this! Who can but feel the palpable absurdity. It is butsince yesterday only that Anglo- Saxon gullibility has taken es true, with regard to the Spanish character, the most inconceivable tales, and, though events have daily showed them their rror, they have evor per ining their inal candor.

It does not stalk forth with all its hide- ons features before the eyes of the world, but in- sidiously appeals to reason and philosophy ; and it is my conviction, that in many a beart it will move, one after another, the pillows that support the christian fabric therein am not disposed to attri- bute this semi-secpticism which is abroad to any inherent SEE of the human heart, or to any natural fecling opposed to re- ligion ; for, indeed, to my mind it wonld be most improbable to suppose, that God would first i us duties and then form us with hearts entirely averse to the duties. We should, I think, have able conception of God's governmen: ment, we are to attribute this disposi error from the erroneous presentation of religion to the mind of the ld. T im- pre made upon on the hearts of children are the most enduring, and accompany them harge of those t ife. Very ofcen they give color and temper to all ‘onr religious feelings and our religious char tho first iny ions which have b spon the minds of the rising neration, it app © bec ‘acter ng to lay the f gious frame of mind, How many are here who are prepared to render their accord t sentiments I am about xpress? were educated in 8 ot religion which ¢ to us venerable } t how many who thus educated ori, o the Many of | fupression that was wade upon thei the character of God, who was them as a being’ to be fea rience gorruborate this you remember the light that dawy lot the character of and that it w > t chilled the heart?

It is im- possible to caure tho heart of aghild to expe rience this feelin, iod go lor'g as it is oppressed with such vic Another reason for this state of indifference in regard to religion which is abroad in the world, is that it is a mere expedient to which we should regort for some ulterior purposes ~-that religion is a matter, if I might use such an expression, of barter between God and the soy, to sce how small an amount of service God will re- ive in exchange for an eternity of bliss. We can perceive at a glance that having these conceptions of the importance of religion, the mind is not woll prepared for that culture, and for those correct viewsof duty to God which are all essential to an enlightened religion, which should purify the heart, and lead the soul into that love to God and man without which all forms of religion are more empty sounds. It has beon reserved to us to do the groat work of christianity in this behalf, to take theso children which have been given to us and start aright with them in this way, and alvance the igion hee from our ideas, the profession of instructor we deem as honored and honorable as any other, Ay ‘that of editor, for instance, seeing that in both cases wo eecniver Ling by & 0 exercise of our fees oe is not the i Oy to be inculeated Pa to eB one, not by an evident desire to y notable beauty and glory of that hey which ge aged us from others Whatis our duty? What is the object of our Sabbath schools? What is the nature of the labor of our Sabbath school teach- ers? Why it is to lay tho true foundation of religion in the heart of a child, by giving him a cor- rect n of the character of Goa; by teaching him that great trath, of infinitely more im than all truths, that God is in- sy Rchstat aie ppee e cl 8 ance to receive this view of God |The womeat (ho f that first pia | God, and then the second Suby aa turally—that we should love our neighbors as our- selves. How interesting and beantiful is the work of the Sabbath teacher among us—to instrust the child in these attractive truths, to impress upon the minds of those who aro just commencing the | journey of life the great truth that God is net only | good, and that his rame is love, but that he is @ | father, kind and affectionate, forgiving and for- | bearing. Any child can be made to the | character of God when presented in the light of |= parent, and he can be easily brought to | reverence and respect him when ho holds in him a father kind and long suffering. This is the great and important duty given into our » It 18 aD sy eo to discharge, for the child can be made to love | God is presented to him in an aceeptable and beautiful light. The beart of tho child has been prepared by the divine hands for tho reception of those views and principlos. It is the garden of the Lord. This must be accomplished in childhood, for if errors become infused into the hoart, of a child, in the first place it will be impossible, when that child becomesa man, to give him correct views of God. The Sabbath school teacher has a veat work to perform; and no profession is more norable to a young man or woman, than to en- gage in turning the mind into the paths of virtne godliness, and endeavoring to bring it into the exercise of that most important of capacitios which God has given it, that great blessing which he has bestewed upon all his creatures, which will open to ws the purest and most substantial hap- piness, viz: the capacity of moral freedom. That capacity distinguishes mon froin all the lower er Of creation, and caables him to govern his own actions according to his own pleasure. Now, to aid the child in bringing into exercise this great capacity and responsibility is 2 most im portant work; and the soul, when it is first brought to @ realizetion that it possesses this privilege, struggles, ay ib were, under the weight of that re- spon ibility. Lat the Sabbath tewher take tno ittle ebild by the havd, and divest its footsteps int the pathe of wisdom and truch which God has ¢ signed for b Thave bas jast entered upon this beavtiful theme. ! am aware that it is one upon which we all desire to say very much indeed; bat, ag there are others to follow mo, 1 will leave the subject here, leaving them to improve tbe’ sagges- tious I bave offered. Mr. C. F. Eaton, of to present the second resolution for t! of this meeting, aud J deem it of vital importance to our denomination. -'Phis resolution was impreasod on my heart twenty-five years ago. It is a fact thas the Sunday schools have not been regarded ganerally 2e a branch of the Seats, and cousequently have not beon placed entifely under itsdireecion and oon- trol. When ! first eaw this resolution, the word ‘“re- garded,” in it, brought to my mind an anecdote. Anold doctor, at Boston, in revolutionary times,, was called a tory, and was regarded as a dangerous person at one time, and he was put under guard. After a time the guard was removed, and then he was guarded again, but finally ho was allowed togo and come as he pleased. In conversation with his friends sometime afterwards, he said, in his qaaint way, “ [ have been guarded by my friends, I have heen reguarded by thera, and now Lam disregarded.” Now [ came into this denomination twenty years ago, and I bless God that 1 did so. Father Streeter, in Boston, was in bis glory then, as he always has been, and always will be in hia glory, travelling in the greatness of his strength through tho een and beautiful fields of gospel trath bad just commeneed my profsesion—I loved it. But the pulpit was too high for me, and I could not attain it, co 1 sought, found, and embraced the Sunday schools, and joined myself to them in an everlasting covenant, never to be broken. What did I find in our denomination and religion when I went into the Sunday schvols? Why, they were in a lit- tle room, with a few children and a few teachers. [ was astonished. I talked with the old mea of the society upon tho subject, and found that many ot!’ them, although most excellent men, were op- osed to Sunday schools, One told me that © should not allow his children to go to a Sunday school; but, after a while, when the schools became prosperous, this old maa disre- garded such feelings. We have gone on and pros- pered. Jam sorry to say the church has never re- garded the Sunday sebools as she ought. Was it the eburch, in 1781, that took the children under its sheltering wing? Was it the church that eatab- lished the Sunday schools, or was it a poor, solitary man, walkivg in one of the great cities of the old world, who, seeing the wretcheduess and destitution of the poor, hired a room, paid for it himsol!, and taught the children as he best could? Was it the church that took the prisoner and criminal under her wing? No, air, it was Mr. Howard. and Mrs Psy. Wasit the charcb that 1800 yenrs ogo followed the poor lunatic, who had fled fre Ine fellow-men in chains to the solitude of natare, where he hoped that the winds might breath peace inte his distressed brain, and where he beped, per- baps amorg the tombs, to find the soirits of game of bis friends, whose bones were ernmbling beneath —was it the church ths No, it was the man of Nazareth, the Judean peasant who scught, found, blessed, and saved him. Was it the church that took the part of the slave, and thundered like Paul in the ear of the om pressor! No, it was a poor mau in a printing office who said “I will speak; I will not retract; [ will be heard.” He has been heard. I say not this of the church in a fauit-finding apirit, for | love the church with all my soul. Tho chureh, with all har faulte, is ten millions of miles ahead of the world. What is the church? It is a company of men, women, and children, bound together to love God and tolove humanity. I: isa bund of men, women, and children, who would imitate that bleaso Saviour who came from heaven to found the church; and, by the church, to save the world. I hold that every son and daagh- ter in this hall belongs to the church, and if they are away from the church they are away fiom home, and are not where they belong. It is our father's house, into which we should enter, sit dewn by the hearth stones, and warm ourselves by ht our lamps, and then go out to warm and enlighten the world. I would have the Sunday schools connected with this church, as a branch is connected tothe vine. If we love the doctrine which Christ taught—if we love the zospel, then let our delight be with the childrea of men, and Jet us, in our asgociated and individual capacity, bless the children; for soon we shall be sick and dead, and then these children must take our places. Our bleszed master, my dear children, when he was twelve years old, was capable and ready to engage , in religious controversy, and startled ‘the doctors | and diymes with his questions and answers, Re- when member this, and algo that a good education, as it | is called, unless consecrated and sanctified by the | | grace of God, will not saye the world. Reverend I, B. Goox, of Rhode Island, sai The Sabbath school enterpise is no louger regarded as a doubifal experiment ; it is an agency tried and weighed in the balance, and not found wanting, and | it appeals to those who are anxious forthe future. We would bave our own opinions endorsed by our childien, and by successive generations. It appoals to such to act in ils behalf. It entera into the de- nominations and orga: ons of al) Christians ; and if we would not sacrifice our claim to common prudence, we must cherish these instramentalities | for good. The object of the remarks I have to offer is to determine tho condition and success of the eckools, and especially to what extent it | depends for success upon parents and guardiang. In order for school to accomplish its high j mission, it must be proper ined and | conducted: and it must have 8 to op» | rate upon, and souls to into tho liker of the master.

Rey. J. G. ApAxs.—The remarks I desire to make will have especial reference to home influences. ‘There are some things which a Sabbath school can- not do. It cannot go beyond its own sphere to fol- low the scholar into all the ways of Jife and eyil in- fluences which he may haye to encounter, and win him Dack from his wanderings to the paths of righteousnces and love.

I will relate to you ar ancedote, told me by a most intelligent newepaper editor,in wy district of country. He wse visiting tha sea shore, and rising early one morning, he directed his eteps to the beach, and was thero the witness of # scene which he declares he will never forget. He saw an old fisherman with his son, eadeavoring to haul a boat from the shore into the waver.

Tho listener the conversation, t! him- self unseen. Prosently the old man and his son knelt down, and offered to God their morniag prayer. Let us follow their example at home. Tho Rev. E. Fisier, of Mass., addressed tho scbolars, and pointed out to them the necessity for preserving order at school. Ho wasof opinion that tome system should be introduced by which the most simple books should be first plaecd in the hands of the children, and not, as was gers! the case, books of a difficult character.
