THE LATEST NEWS. Our Special Washington Despatch THE KEPORTS TO THE NAVAL INVESTIGATING COM- MITTEE—FORTHOOMING VETO OF THE AGRICULYU- RAL COLLEGES BILL—THE TARIFY QURSTION, kTC. Wasnixoros, Feb, 20, 1859, Mr. Bocock, of the majority of the Navai Investigating Committee, will probably not be able to have his report ready before Tuesday morning. It will completely ex- onerate George N. Sanders, as will also the minority re- port. ‘The Prosident is preparing his veto message of the Ag: ricultural Colleges bill, it will be communicated to Con gress ina few days. The Homestead und Pension bills, should they pass the House, will also share the same fate. The charges against Weller, the San Francisco, and ‘Westcott, the Philadelphia Postmaster, are still pending. ‘The proceedings in the House to-morrow will determine whether there will be an extra session or not. Should the rules not be suspended, and the tariff taken up, an extra session is inevitable. ‘THE GENERAL NEWSPAVER DESPATCH. ; Wasuincton, Feb. 20, 1859. By the troaty recently ratified by the Senate, the United ‘States acquire about ten millions of acres of land from the Yankton band of Dacotah Indians, who are to be placed on a tribal reservation, and the President i¢ autho. rized to give them lands in soveralty. Instead of being eatrusted with large amounts of money, as has heyto ‘fore been the case with other Indians, they are to be sup- plied with stock, agricultural implements, farm houses, and whatever else may be necessary to advance them in Civilization. This treaty was negotiated with the Yank- ton band by Mr. Mix, at that time Commis. sioner of Indian Affairs, as was also the treaty with the Senecas, at Tonawanda, recently rati- fied. They are to remain where they now are; the lands n the West, to which they have an inchoate claim under a ormer treaty, are to be sold, and the proceeds applied by he Commissioner of Indian Affairs to the purchase of homes in their present locality. It will be recollected that ho lands with which they parted in Western New York were gold to the whites. A memorial signed by the iron men of Philadelphia, and throughout Pennsylvania, is soon to be presented to Con- grees, praying for the passage of Senator Fitch’s bill for the construction of national vessels and buildings of Ame- rican iron, It is already signed by the leading merchants Of the trado, and if time permits, will be presented with fifty thousand signers before the adjournment of Congress. An effort will be made in the Senate this week to take up the Arizona Territorial bill. In the event of its pas. gage in that body, it is considered that its chances in the House will be better than heretofore. The Select Committee to investigate the alleged corrup” tion in connection with the House Committee on Accounts, ‘consists of Messrs. Nichols, Winslow, Eustis, Whiteley and Clark B. Cochrane. The Select Committee on the Navy Department and Navy Yards are not able to agree on a report. Messrs, Sherman, of Ohio, and Ritchie will submit a statement, ‘and Messrs. Bocock and Groesbeck will unite in another, while Mr. Ready will bave something to gay ina third pa- per. The committee are divided politically. It is said that a portion of the troops iu Utah will be or- dered to the southera boundary of New Mexico. ‘The Northern papers having founded an editorial ona ‘verbal misprint in Senator Chandler’s speech of Thursday last, wherein he is made to say, “ From the Captain Gene- ral of Cuba to the lowest Cuban bribery is universal,” it Should be stated that the Senator said to the lowest “ tide- waiter.”” The Ohio Ten per Cent Law. CLEVELAND, Feb. 19, 1859, ‘Tue House bill, repealing the Ten per Cent law, passed the Senate yesterday, at Columbus, by a vote of 20 to 14. Freshet ia the Ohio. Civcrwxats, Feb. 20, 1859. There were incessant rains throughout the West last ‘week. The Ohio now has fifty-three fect water in the ‘channel at this point, and is still rising at the rate of a foot per hour. The water is now within three feet of the high ‘water mark of 1853, and is up to the second stories on ‘Water street. All the upper streams are overflowing. No train went out on the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad to-night, The weather is now clear, but there is a high wind. ‘ News from New Mexico. Sr. Lovts, Feb. 19, 1859.

Rev. B. C. C. Parker, Missionary to Seamen. HIS FUNERAL SERMON, BY REV. DR. CUTLER. Afuneral sermon on the Rev. Benjamin C. OC. Parker Inte missionary to seamen, was preached yesterday morn- ‘ing by the Rev. Dr. Cutler, of Brooklyn, in the St. George's church, Beekman street. The speaker was selected and the discourse delivered by appointment of the Board of Managers of the Protestant Episcopal Church Missionary Society to Seamen. Dr. Cutler, on rising, made the fol. lowing preliminary remarks:—The death of the Rey. Benjamin C. C, Parker was announced in the papers on January 29; his funeral took place on Sunday, the 80th of January, in the church of which he was the pastor. His remains were buried in Boston, in the grave of his father, Tt may not be known to you that Mr. Parker was a near friend and relative of him who is addressing you. This is the first death that has occurred in the ranks of the missionaries of the Protestant Episcopal Church Missionary Society to Seamen. You will find my text in the 57th chapter of Isaiah, Ist ‘verse—*‘The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to fheart: and merciful men are taken away, none consider- ing that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.’’ The most distinguished clergymen and laymen may be taken from our midst by death, aad but very little attention is given to it. The righteous are soon forgotten, ‘Their piety, devotion, learning, ability and labors, how extensive or useful sdever they may have been, are for- gotten almost as soon as they have departed. During the present conflict in India an English officer was killed who was a great favorite among the officers and dearly beloved in his company. The com- pany refused to bave his name struck off the roll; 60 every morning an officer was appointed to answer, when his name was called, “Dead on the fleld of baile.” They were not willing that he shouid be for- . Much less should the followers of Christ be will- ing Jet the name of His faithful officers be interred with their bones. It was a pagan proverb, ‘the sound of a canuon is heard fifteen miles, the sound of thunder double that distance, and the sound of a good deed through three worlds.” Socicty now-a-days, especially in great cities, is active; it hastens past the past to occupy itself with the present; it demands a brief funeral sermon for the de. ceased apo- fe of God, and nothing more—his place is filled by another, and they bastily pass on. One of the greatest nations of Europe is said to learn nothing from the past, to care nothing for the future, to give themselves wholly. up to the present; and yet teir funeral services over the dead receive great consideration. When they carried Stephen to his grave great men made great lamentation over it. The death of the wicked should also be laid to beart, and others could be warned against their evils ‘without the slightest personalities. The Rey. Benj. C. C. Parker was the son of the Right Rev. Samuel Parker D.D., of Massachusetts; he was born on the 6th of June, 1776. In youth he was, distinguished for his thirst for knowledge; reading was his favorite amusement and occupation, and ‘what is more remarkabie, solid reading was his favorite Yeading. He was especially fond of such works as Gibbon's Rome, Homo’s History of Engiand, Plutarch’s Lives, &c. He acquired French almost alone, and so thoroughly that he has preached tn that language. When in his master’s store be secured a little office above it, and was there to be found reading when not wanted. He was converted when 19 years 4{age. The manner of bis conversion was very peculiar, ‘he speaker being intimate with him, spoke to him on the subject of religion, Whereupon the latter became augry, and some weeks passd without any intercourse between them. The speaker then visited Mr. Parker—found him in his office reading. He never looked up from his book when the ker entered; the speaker sat down by his side, Mr. Parker kept on reading. The speaker renewed the convereation on the subject he had betore been spoak- ing to him on. Mr. Parker laid downthe book, looked at him steadily, still without speaking. The sneaker wok up ‘the open book and was greatly surprised to find that it was the life of a distinguished minieter, Mr. Spencer, who was drowned in Liverpool. Kind words were spoken; where- upon Mr. Parker burst into tears, and informed the speaker how his convergion had occurred, He said one Sunday he attended Trinity church, in Boston, without paying the slightest attention to whut was said, then wen ito the street, and finally entered a confectionery shop where several young men were assembled for amuse ment. Immediately on crossing the threshold of the doo ‘a voice came to him, los 5 mAh ood dost thou here? I {this a fit place for a man who has just come from church? He turned back into the street and walked on, thinking; and he walked on and walked on, and finally resolved never to turn back until he could bring bis mind to God. ‘When the die was cast he turned back. Mr. Parker ees rus a Arma ane this most memoral i walk, low he lives ing the last sixteen years you know— how he lived before that the speaker knew.

He then resolved to abandon mer- cantile business, go through college, aad then enter the ministry. He entered Harvard College in 1818, where his jatber apd brothers bad graduated before him, and he yraduated in 1822. May 17, 1826, at thirty years of age, be was ordained. For some time afterwards he kept a sical schoo! for females in Boston, then he entered the istry. In 1842 be was appointed as your chaplain, In 1883 he was united in marriage to a lady of Boston, emi- nent in piety, of ap old and respectable family, She bas survived him, They have po childrev, She was, by her prayers and couneel, the right arm of all his strength— shurer of bis studies, the consoler of his troubles, the promoter of his views. It was on getting storm stayed on coming from Boston to York, in @ schooner, that his stention was specificaily called to the spiritual condition the poor sailors, Some fifty sail were kept in port by the wind, and he discoursed to the sailors and officers with marvellous effect. The tears ran down their cheeks, and they seemed unwilling to leave him. He was appointed the first chaplain of the Protestant Episcopal Missiouary Society to Seamen. and labored as such for sixteen years, domg all he could for the poor sailors. Since 1844 he put into the hands of sailors seventy thousand bound volumes Of religious books, which have been carried over every bavigablesea. Mr, Parker's sermons were always instruc- tive, and there isa great deal of preaching now-a-days without instruction. The first article in his will is a gift of five hundred dollars apiece to two of his sisters, who. denied themselves in order to enable him to complete his education. The spesker then made a moral appiication of the text to bis audience. ch Dramatic and Musical Matters. Mile. Piccolomini commenced her tour to the westward at Albany on Monday last, and on Saturday was announced at Buflalo. During the present week she will be at Cin cinnati. The contract for her services, made between Mr Ullman and Mr. Lumley, expires on the 20th of March, previous to which time she has to make the tour of the chief cities in the South and West. It is poasibie, but not probable, that Piccolomini may sing once in New York before embarking for London, where she will commence the regular season at Her Majesty’s, in April. It is ascertained, according to the Cincinnati papers, that the new Opera house there will coat altogether not less ‘han balf a million dollars, which is one hundred and fifty thousand over the cost of our Academy, and two hundred thousand over the Boston and Philadelphia houses. The extra expense of the Cincinnati house is, we apprehend, in the decorations, which are extremely elaborate, and, as one journalist says, “altogether beyond his powers of description,” The Cincinnati building is five stories high, 134 feet wide in front, and 190 feet deep; auditorium ninety-eight feet wide; ninety-eight feet deep from stage to back of boxes, and eighty-two feet from parquette to dome, The decorations are in white and gold, and the seats are covered with crimson, There are places for three thousand persons. The stage is fifty. five feet wide and ninety-cight feet deep. The pro scenium is fifty feet wide, and contains six capacious boxes. “The order of the entire auditorium is'composite Eliza bothan,” whatever that is. The house is to be inaugu- rated by a ballon to morrow evening. It is a compli mentary affair to the proprietor, Mr. Samuel N. Pike. ‘The manager is Mr. C. M. Barras. The first opera season of twenty ights will be commenced under the auspices of Strakosch, in March. From St. Louis we hear that the last named impre sario is making no end of mouey, giving operas every night to crowded houses. The last sensation was the “Puritani,’’ with Mme. de Wilhorst, Brignoli, Junca and Amodio—unot a bad cast for the provinces. The St. Louis people are in ecstacies, evidently. Siguor Brignoli has published an album, containing five melodies. and one duo, music arranged for the piano, and dedicated to Lady Napier. No. 1 is a serenade; No.2 a romanza; No. 3 a romanza; Nos. 4 and 5 barcaroles, very Neapolitan; No. 6, a duo, “The Desire.”? The worde are in English and Italian, and the work is superbly executed. Of course the Brignoli album is “all the fashion.”’ Every oneis very much delighted with the light, plea- sant and French appearance of the new Theatre Francais in Broadway, which is now. quite ready for the actors, ‘There are no less than sixty private boxes, which will be sold at the rate of one dollar for each seat; the price to the orchestra seats will be one dollar, and to the other seats fifty cents. The scenery, &c., will be entirely new. One of the directors, Mr. Sage, has made engagements in Paris with the following named artists, who will arrive in the Fulton, which ship ts due this week. The first light comedian is M. Paut Laba, from the Theatre Francais; the first comedian is Bertrand, from the Folies Dramatiques; M. Eugene, light comedian, from the Odeon, has also been engaged. ‘The actresses are Mile. Gautbron, from Brussels; Mme. Sene, (soubrette,) formerly of the Gymnase; Mile, Jeanne Mouthran, from the Gaité; Mme. Bertrand, first rdles, &c. ‘These are all artists of repute; and with a fresh, pretty theatre, capable direction, &c., the much vexed question as to whether or not a French theatre can be supported here will be thoroughly tested. As somo ten days after the arrival of the artists will be required for rehearsals, the theatre will not probably be opened before the 8th or 10th of next month, ‘The firet performance of Mr. Robert Stoepel’s ‘‘ Hiawa- tha,” with Matilda Heron’s illustrative readings, will take place this evening at the Academy of Music. Tae work has received much praise from persons who are supposed to be competent judges, and we ask for ita fair hearing. That it will be done in the best possible way is beyond perad- venture. The single novelty of the theatrical week was the début of Mr. Harry Pearson, the English comedian, atthe Broad- way. He is a capital actor, and bas madeahit. We trust that he will become a fixture at one of the up town theatres. Mr. Jefferson’s annual benefit took place at Laura Keene’s theatre on Saturday, when ‘ Our American Cousin” was played for the 112th time. The bilis at the other theatres in Broadway have not been altered, Mr. Joseph Proctor is playing a successful engagement ‘attho Bowery. The Shaksperian play at the Broadway is to be produced next week. f At the Broadway theatre the star sisters, the Misses Western, commence an engagement of six nights this evening, playing in “Green Bushes.” These young and clever artists are deservedly favorites with metropolitan audiences, and their engagement will doubtless, be suc- cessful. At Niblo’s Garden Nixon & Co.'s Circus still attracts crowded houses. Two new artists bave been added to the already grand troupe, and they will make their début to-night. Dan Rice§jand his mules are also in the bills. ‘At Wallack’s theatre ‘The Veteran,” with all the spirit, ed tableaux, and Mr. Wallack as the old Colonel, will be played to-night and every night this week. ‘At Laura Keene’s “Our American Cousin” and ‘Jenny Lind” make the bill for the week—and a good bill it is, ac- cording to the opinion of the public, which regulates these matters. At Burton’s theatre Miss Julia Daly, as “Our Female American Cousin,’ is clever enough to keep up the busi- ness, so that the play will not be withdrawn for the pre- sent. At the Bowery theatre this evening Mr. Proctor will ap- pear ag Rolla in ‘Pizarro."’ ‘‘Masaniello” and “The Eton Boy”? will likewise be performed, At Barnum’s Museum, Wood's and Bryant's Minstrels, the colored opera reigns supreme. There is still another dark impresario hovering over the metropolis, in the shape of Mr. Sanford, whose Opera house has been one of the pleasantest places of amusement in Philadelphia for foveral years. i Manas LesoxRnren.—It is now some time since the name of Mrs. Emily P. Lesdernier bas been before the public; but our readers cannot have forgotten this amiable and accomplished lady, whose readings, for beauty and origipality have become so well appreciated. Mrs. Les dernier is well known to intelligent Americans, and we learn 18 about to leave for Europe, but she will give another, and perhaps the last course of her roadings, before the public of New York in a day or two, previous to her departure, Mr. Dempster, the popular Scotch yooalist, has set the songs of Tennyson's ‘Princess’ to music, and he will coon bring them out in his new entertainment, Among them is the great bugie song:— ‘The splendor fails on castle walls And snowy summits old in story, Miss J.

The Church of the Puritans, in Unioa square, was crowded and crammed to excess last evening—ar it has been for the last three weeks, but if possible more so last night than on any of the other occasions —to hear the third discourse of the Rey. Dr. Cheever, on the iniquity of the slave trade and the whole system of slavery, aid the sin of the continuance of those evils among us. The services of the evening began with the vsaai for- mu’ary of einging and praying, the reverend doctor pour- jag out bis soul wi b an earnestwess and power such as are seldom heard in petitions to the Throne of Grace, The gubject of the lecture last evening, in connection with the general subject, was devoted to the consideration of the charge of siayeholding preferred by come against the patriarch Abrabam, +nd the defence of that ancient and highly honored servant of God from such an imputation, The reverend gentleman selected his text from the 18th chapter of Genesis, the 18th and 19th verses: — Seeing that Abrabam shall surely become a great and mighty pation, and ail the nations of the cart ahull be Dlested in him; ‘shail keep the way of the Lord to do justice and judgment, that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which be has spoken of him. This, he said, was the declaration of Ompipotence, that Abraham and his children, and his household after him, should keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judg- ment. These are the attributes of God, infallible in prin- ciple and im action. A God without iniquity, just and right is he. Now, whoever can imagine that God, having ‘thus deciared that Abrabam should be a bright and a shining light—a brilliant example of justice and judgment, and that be, thus commissioned, should then have proceed- ed to establish as bis domestic reigning institution the climax of injustice, must be so depraved in mind as not to be capable of judging between evil and good—nor able to comprehend the simplest proposition. Such an in- dividual who could so believe would have bowed dowa to Dagon, or have helped to worship the Golden Calf at the foot of Siaai. Nay, more, he woula go further, and take Ee lzebub by the hand and introduce bim into heaven as the triend of God and man, Such monstrous deformity cannot be forced into the Divine revelation. When we remember that the Divine wrath in its most terrible form is de- clared against this sin; when we reniember that every page of the holy law of God shines with His ineffable glory and righteousness, it would be impossible to believe that in the first constitution framed under bis own auspi- ces there should bave sprung forth a fountain of sin and misery, the streams that have flowed from which hi mace accursed every nation that bag drank of them, ‘There were upwards of twenty lines of argument which he bad marked, and which could be brought to bear oa the subject very advantageously for the cause of truth; but time would render 1t impossible to refer to or investi- gate all of them on such an occasion. He would only glance at four or five, First, in the historic record of so- ciety as appointed of God, and which continued for a jong number of years, there ia not the slightest trace of slavery to be found. And secondly, we bave the distinct repro- bation of God to his own people against any such system, which was meant to be a perpetual injunction against any such bondage among any other races, How cau any man Gare assert that God ever sanctioned very, when there 1s evidence that he punished a whole nation for it? A thou- d years efter the formation of the statute against the iniquity, God himself calls the people again into court “na deciared and intlicted the sentence. A comparison of the 84th chapter of the Prophecies of Jeremiah with the u2d chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, will prove this be- youd even the possibility of contradiction. The history Zrows out of the law ‘and bis commentary upon then. There are no instances of the sale of or the traffic ‘in slaves in the bistory, and no one can find any. There are instances of servants running away, but bone of their being returned to servitude. There is no mention any- where made of marshals to be set upon their track, nor of bloodtounds to scent them ont, nor of jails to imprison th nor yet of arrangements for their sale to pay the jail fees There is a thorough and complete absence of s'avery in the Oid Testament dispensation. In Judea there was no euch thing in the social life of the Hebrews. And this was aciear proof that it did not exist. If it had been ordained of God, and was a recognized portion of the polity of the times, the land would have been, for so many oges, completely overrun by slavery. That would ¢ been the great article of wealth and luxury; even in the Temple at Jerusalem there would bave been thote who would be found ready to traffic in 80 profitable trace, But,on the contrary, it is there set forth asa deadly gin, worthy of the punishment of death. If it were not 80, it must have been the moat sacred of proper- ty. Tbe New Testament dispensation was as clearly ex- plicit on the subject. In the recital in St. Luke's pel of the householder who went forth to bring laborers into his hh there is po mention made of slaves, but it is plainly said that he went out and hired men for fair wages. Thus, also, in the parable of the Prodigal Son, when the young repentant man comes to himself and finds out his grievous position, be exclaims: ‘How many hired ser- vants of my father have bread enough to spare, and I perish with hunger! I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned inst heaven and before thee, and am no’ more worthy to be called thy son; make me as one of thy hired servants.” There was nota thought of slavery here; but if such a thing were in ex- isteuce, would not this poor, broken penitent, in deep humiliation, instead of asking his father to make him a hired servant, have humbled himself to a slave? There was not the slightest intimation any- thing but voluntary servitude, Again, we are told by our Saviour that no man ‘can serve two ers; either he must love the one and hate the otht or he must hold to the one and despise the other. But these are conditions of free, voluntary, ser- vice. There ig no chance for a slave to be in any way benefited by them; for although he may hate bis master ever so much he cannot choose another. These things forbid the very etl of slavery. The law of love promulgated by offered irrefragable of these truths, for if you love not your neighbor wi you have seen, how can you love God whom you have not seen And this though we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourself. The Epistie of Paul to Timothy was » standing barrier to the system of slavery; and what was the Epistle to Philemon but the sentiments of the Apostle on the subject of slave with the old itive slave law of the Hebrews lying right before him, for be bad nothin else to look to? He is first found giving shelter and pro tection to Onesimus, a runaway slave, and instructin and converting him, and then with his own consent— and not till then—sending him back to Philemon, with the distinct avowal that he was no longer a servant, but a brother beloved; and to Lion against the possi- bility of his words bein; en to mean merely a Christian brother—as some have supposed, even in these times—ft was carefully added that he was not only a brother in the Lord, but in the flesh also—no longer a servant in either way. Masters are also directed in ano- ther place to give unto their servants tbat which is their dn¢—that which is just and equal; an injunction proving that no such class of servants as property was in exist- ence or to be among Christians. None that were not parties toa compact were ever meant. The Scriptures positively forbid anything but paid servants. Then the ‘stablishixent ofthe church, without any regard to creed er color, or class, rendered the system of slavery im- possible without doing violence to the, "laws of God, the conditions of slavery being incompawble with the insti- of Christianity. Take the ordinance of marriage as nstance, and the wondrous service as written the Epistie to the Epbesian ‘Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord.” Apply this to slavery, and it must be seen that the miserable creatures under the damning system are as though the jaw which was made for ail Christ's ple was never made for them, Consider for a moment ‘one of the most sacred laws of God bas been biotted out, and the horrible system of concubinage for slave breeding permitted to usurp the holy place of marriage, and one of the divinest chapters in the Word of God becomes a hideous and hor- nible satire. Nothing more is needed to show the infernal pature of American slavery ‘The reverend gentleman, after energetically and elo- quently going into the argumentative details of the above and other prominent points of his discourse, proceeded to consider the constitution of society in the days of the pa- triarch Abrabam, who lived nearly contemporaneously with Noah. But’ during all the patriarch’s travels, from the time that he set out from the plains of Teheran, there was nothing to be discovered in his retinue but voluntary service, was the most insolent pretension for the adyo- cates of modern American slavery to go back to the days of Abrabam for evidence in favor of their system, be- cause there was nothing there to justify them, while there ‘was everything tocondemnthem. He then proceeded ana- Iytically to show that the words “bought with money’ and “born in the house’ had no other signification than that which was piainiy conveyed in the meaning of the words; that though some pretended by this tl slavery was recognized, and that these terms were ap- plied to persons who were slaves, thero was not the slightest authority for the assumption, because no He- brew could by any possibility bea slave; and yet there were numbers of them born in the house and bought ‘with money who were in the service of Abraham. e word “bought” simply meant provided or obtained, In Genesis, 17th chapter, it is applied to a free man. No one ever pretended that Ruth, the Moabitess, was @ slave; and yet ft 18 said that she was bought,’ And again, in Genesis, when Cain came into the world, his mother said, “I have bought a man from the Lord,” where it could clearly mean nothing else than obtained. Those who depend on such evidence as this in support of be ac | must believe— 1, That the Hebrews were siaves, which Scripture evi- dence and ail history show to be taise. . 2, That all our servants must of necessity be slaves. 3. That Ruth was a siave. 4, That the wife of the prophet Hosea was a slave; and, 5. That it would be right for ail pious men to hoid their wives as slaves and to dispose of them as property, Conclusions which would be scandalous to the Book of Holy inspiration if foisted apon it. The third branch of the diecourse was exceedingly lengthy, and went to snow bow monstrous a supposition It would be to say that God, who bad chosen Abraham and so greatly endowed him, would have left him to take bis pattern of morals from the barbarous keathen world, and to band down to his posterity, in whom all pation of the earth were to be blesred, what he had learned from a bratal and uncivilized people. There was a higher dispeceation for his guidance. Abraham never sold slaves, tor have any ever accused him of doing so. Then, if he wi aveholder, what became of the great dumber of s'aves which he must havehad? They did not pescend to Isaac, because he never sold any; if not, then they would come down to Jacob and Rsau; but the only instance of a ‘was in the case of Joseph, in Egypt, where, if there had not been twelve against one, the pL could not have succeeded. Tn the course of his discourse the Doctor made allusion to the flaring heads he bad from time to time seen in the newspapers, “ Trouble in Dr, Cheever’s Church,” * Trou- bio in the Chureh of the Puritans ;"’ whereas the trouble was all outside. There might be troubles in councils and else. where, but the church that stands fast in God has the pro- mise of deliverance and peace. It was rather trouble ex- ecinded, for it was the foundation of church government that exch church is independent, and amenable only to Christ, Each church ts to decide on whom it will have, and whom it will not have, for members, and no council— not ever ® mutual councti—is any authority for it, much less an om arte council—and if such a body should decide that parties are members whom the church declares are not so, it has overstepped ail bounds ever allowed, and passed from Congregational ib) 0 & high banded bierarchieal tyranny, and this would bot qnd could pot be allowed without gacrifeing n the sovereignty of the church, It was certain that that wburch would not step down from its high position. Tne rev. geptieman then retarned to the xt, and at considereble L addscet a multiplicity of texts and arguments againet the system, and showing that Abra bam Was guiitless of the sin charged against him.
