rnndu tip of what appeared to ut m very
ki Ily effort.-) to ctuldwli hut wo havu ul
lowed Mr. Cornwall to try to fsUblUh
tlirou'li the Arus. In additioii to this,
we fi ii vo now on file wvtral lellers from
infidel", niid'n jrreut fault with im far now
and then publishing u Htruy uif froiuMJine
philosopher' note-book eulojriisiiijf tlio Ii
ide. Our corrwioinl;ntii tliiik wo ouirlit
not to comuH iirl a book which nuudioin
mich a great wronj as tniinteiiliiifr. Now
o huve often wondered why ' free-thinb r'
should come lo nm h a couel.tsiou. They
certainly never frot it fifiin tho Hook itself,
but arc entirely drpendunt ujioii pro-slavery
piirsoim for their information. Now, it
docs loot: a little inconsistent for nil ' inde
pendent freo-t liitik.-r,' who wouldn't give
un old button for audi a l'u.-son Corn
wall' opinion on nny other brunch of
' theolojfy,' but who prideH himself on
doin' his own ' thinking' then, hhould let
such parsons do ull his ' thinking' when it
eoincit lo proving the Uiblo to be a very
bin bonk, and when these divines tell him
" I'm Hilihi Hiinctions limn stouliii''" lie
oprns his moiitli ami kwiiIIowh it down
without tvpr stojiping to examine, to sec
whether tho ' preaching' is correct or not.
Wo huvu thought it not un improper thing,
nt tli's particular juncture, lo lay by our
political pen, inn sharpen up our old tli'.o
logicid quill, for the double purpose of re
moving a very great objection which pome
' free-thinkers' make to our publishing flut
tering notices of the liible us u book of
morult, to say the Icn.-t, ns ul.-o to 'slop
tho mouths' of ci'.cll 1 vuiu talken and do
eeivers' ns are, undi-r pretense of being
'culled nnd .sent,' trying to niuko nil the
iiifidi.ls they can, by nvcrring, every where
they go, Hint tho Ibblu justifies ' the jinn
of nil villainies.'
The proposition that wc ure di inoiislrat
ing is, that property in man, or ahivery, is
ablinrrcnt to the teachings of the whole.
Ilible. And Ju.t liers wc iiflinii, what we
n.ight have .slated before, that the Wold
' slave' i.s nover found but twice in that
book, once in Jer. i: li, nnd once in I!cv.
IX: lit. Iu the former piisace, " Is Tsno-1
ufervnul? i.s ho u homo-horn slave?" the
word ' slavo' is not in tho original, but is
incornctly supplied by tho tran.-lulurs for
' servant.' The Creek word tluulm is hrre
nmlcred servant.' This word in ulwavs
remlereil scrvont, iii.d never means a tlave
iu the wholu book. litv. 18: 13 is thou
really tho ouhj phico where 'slavu' occurs
in tho Jiuok, and there very properly oc
curs, ns both the original and sense pf the
pc-fiigii show. "And I heard another
voice from heaven, kuving, Ccm out ol
her, mij people, that ye I,- uut partaken of
her piiiuea. Therefore, t-hall her pl.igurs
conic In one tiny, death, and mournm;.', nnd

ilvir, uicl wheat, nnd iruvfv, and slant,
and hnr, nnd chnrioN, aim slave, and
mils of men." I'cv. IS: 4. . 1 1 1:1
Here, iu tho person of the givut harlot
llahvlon, we find the only slaveholder men
tioned in all tho lulu that claimed abso
lute property iu man. H,c dealt in the
souls ami liodict of men ns ' mcrc!nunliie'

one?. Nio not only did this. lint, nhicil
t.iem in In r inventory of ' merchandise
with " boasts, and sheep, nnd horses," ju-t
as Cornwall and other Democratic parsons
ulwayK insit that tho pious, harlot should
hnvo done. Hut we find, by lookim; inlo
ouriiivek lestaiueiit, Unit tho word don-
l. iisi-d clscwlier.! for 'servuiit, is not the
word used here, but ' sama,' which means
a slave, Hiiro enough. Cornwall eertainlv
had the scarlet-colored harlot in his eve
when he told ns nl out tho great slave
holders of the liible time who owned some
twenty thousand head or more a piece, mill
counted thi in ns no men, but ns beasts, and
killed them nt pleasure a stub? of tiling
which Christ mid the Apostles saw, and
still left the world ns to slavery just where
they found it. It uuU have been Hahv-
Ion ho had in his eve. I'or wc read in Iter
18: iM, " And in her was found the blood
of prophets, and of saints, and of all that
trere n.uoi upon the earth." Tho nuia-l

thut ' tho Hible recognizes the relation of

tuko the ground thut 'slavery is a Bible in

regulated by Biblo rules.' This is the
ground taken by McKinney, in common
with most Northern Democrats. But Mr.
McKinney iu going to Texas found that
progressive Democracy had got ao far
ahead of lam that in teaching his views he
was liable to " chastisement, which to us
seeineth grievous," but which iu him has
probably 'yielded the peaceable fruits of
obedience.' In speaking 011 Iho ' relativo

passage " Masters, give unto your servants
that which is just and equal," stopped them
from working them fifteen hours a day nnd
feeding them on cotton seed. If he had
knowu what Democratic theology wmi is,
as well as some of our Oregon divines,
he would have told them that such was 'too
rigid an interpretation of Scripture,' that it
was res.it towork niggers fifteen hours a
day, an 1 Iced them on cotton seed: ns 'nee
ther Christ nor tho Apostles had ever said
they shouldn't,' and that by ' that which is
just and equal,' we were not to understand,
as 'a too rigid interpretation of Scripture'
might lead us to believe, that we were to
give them equally ns good as wfi had our
selves, but that we must give one nigger
as good ns another. That is, if wc feed
one uigger on cotton seed, nnd thrash him
well for not performing his daily task, 'jus
tice' and christian 'equality' requires us to
teat all the mggers on cotton seed, nnd
give them all an equal number of lashes on
the bare back.
When will Northern doughfaces learn
t keep up with ' progressive' Democratic
theology?
