Tbe opinion of Judge Pavue, libeiavog the eight neg.oesjof Mr. aud Mrs. Lemmon, excites less rematfc, so tar, ai the South tban at the North. Tbe only Souib ero paper which! we have noticed as having en- lerca upon a aenoerate ibvibw ui i.uo ujiuhuu, is the IJichmond YVbg, which pronounces it as unsoundboth ii,)on,auiboHty and iiom analogy It pronounces it a radical error ol the Judge to treat New Yoik aod Virginia as fnatiou, 10 ibe legal: or internal acceptation of tbe teim. Tbev aio dependant upon a supeiior powet, be Constitution of the United blaie. which lecog nizes slavery, and protects it as propeity. mei- cbandize. The law of na'tdnJ does not apply, says tbe Whig, to cases between two Stales so connected. Tbe law of New Yoik5 cannot over- ride the if-onslii union bfibe Uned- bijues.. 44 II the Constitution! of the Uni ed Stales, says 1 he!

This is In alarming advance of 4boiitionism the more dangerous because tt comes invested with the'semblance of justice, and clothed with tbe" m3jes;v of tbe law." . j-. ; . But the'New York papers teem with articles on the subject. Tbe Commeicial. whilst it re gretj lbeSvbole occurrence, and blames the man For carrying bis negDe$ to Newj Yoik. urges that Ibe decision is universally adm)ned to be the law.'and iberefoie should be acquiesced in, until reversed by a higher iiibunal, as Ihe fiigi live law has been acquiesced in, because it is Ibe law, by those who disliked if as much as the Southern pedpte dislike this decision. The 44 Day Book" violently assails ibe de. cisioo and the Judge who made it. It speaks of it as "Mho first instance of the complete tri umph oft be higher law," tbe subordination of the Constitution oftbe United &ates fo so called Stale police reulai ions, and the legfr sancuoo- ing of highway robbery." licoarges me juugo with being ibe willing instrument of ibe abo Iitiooislsf determined from the first lo set aside justice atjd the Constitution oftbe l. Stales. The Courier add Enquirer kays.s 44 We 'must admit that at tbe firsj blush this decision appeared to be more tBap plausible. Just it is not ; though it is possibJefihat tbe let ter of law admits no other. It i certainly di ametrically opposed o the spirit pfj the Consti tution of ihe recent l!aw passed b CJongress up on the subject of slavery. It will do more to 1852; separate Nprib and Spy h tban any oib'er event which has bappened since (be birth of our con federation, and will opeo at once ibe gaping breach which basibut now with so much solic ilude been Closed? ? 4.

Tendencies of the Times. Un)er tbis title,! the October number of lhe: Theological and Literary Review, edit ed by David NJiliord of New York, who has devoted muchUime to the study oftbe prophecies, contaihs an article on the pre sent position and prospects of the Church, wbtch deserves consideration. The re viewer does notaree that there are indi cations ol the speccly overthrow of Satan's kingdom, and of aimillennial reign of the gospel oh earth. He regards tbe signs of the times as decidedly the reverse ; tbat there is a prospect of a relalive decline of true religion, add a rapid growth of tbe parties anci influences that are in antago nism to it.! 5 Taking our own country as a basis of hts argument, he adduces, in sup port of his views, the! predominance of an a v ar i c i 0 u s wo r 1 d ly s pi r i t ; tbe prevalence of debasing and enormous crimes ; the powerful -agencies; employed by atheists andj'nfldels of various shades, Universal isf SitSocinians, Romanists. Mormons, Swe denborgians, Puseyifes, and others; the enormous circulation of licetious and scep tical publications from the press ; I he suc cess of numerous and preposterous delu sions, finding every where so many disci ples and advocates ; and finally, the pre valence of alarming errors in nominally evangelical churches. In regard lo none pf these, the reviewer contends, can it be shown that there is reason lo believe that the e are symptoms of decay, or that their power is; neutralized by (he instrumenlal ilie put forth by fhe Church. On the last point soggesled,; we prefer to let the Re view speakj for itself. : j 44 Ad, fi'ly. errors and; delusions are not confined 10 'those mainly who are not profess edly: religious ; ibey pievailjin the Cbuich also, and on a gilCater scale, probalrly, sbao at any lo-mer peiidd. Instead of standing wholly on be tide of truth, andexeiiiiig, by its principles, iis teacliitig, and ii!s example, only a salutary influence,! Hi is iiseilf itie sejai. in; some ol i.'s braocbesvof gross apostasy ; wbile those of its deiiorriinaiipns that probably embrace the gieai est number of tine woisbrpei s. are divided in to pa riies that differ essentially in tbeir views ol the doditines of iedemp;ion,! and are labor ing as s'lenuouily in one of tbeir divisions to disseminate enos that subvert the gospel, as ibef aie in the ot he,rto inculcate and maintain the truth. ! Thus, within a few years, a large party 'has jisen in ihe Congregational body. wboi adoiiiiog tbe metapbyscial ibeory of a self delei mineld will, deny, on the ground of it. ihe power of Cjod io prevent bis cieaiures from sip nn. or leklore those who ire fa Hen to holiness by bis Spirit ; and'tbence deny, doubt, or oeg. lei t all ibegieal doctrines of his word with wbich Ibat dogma conflicts:; and that ei ror has found ma uv disciples andTaVouers also in other denominations. At the same time another par ty ina measuie fiom pursuing ibese speculations 10 their natuial results, and still more Irom a dopting other elements of the modern Ceiman metaphysics, and the rationalistic theory of in terpretatian, has ajiseo, that not ony lejects the gieal doctiines of the gospel, but gives up its faitb in tbe Bible itself as an inspired reve la. ion fiorp God, and holds it to be of little hb er aut hoi by than cither didactic and historical works that have descended: to us from t be sages and philosophers of ancient times. These dis. ciples of ibe German theological infidetiiy, some of whom are deeply tinged with maleiialism. and rome with spiritual pantheism, instead of a small body are, ifwe mayj rely on the repie. sent aiions of persons who have the best oppor. tuniiies of knowledge, quite nnmerous ; and it is indicated by the exiensiire acquiescence and sunnoit the doclrioes of the leadeis of ibe par- ty are receiving bom the ministers and cburcb, es. In ibe meanilirne. iin jibe Episcopal and German Hefoimed Churches, parties have ris en who openly favor the doctrines of Roman ism, exaliibeautbority of tradition above Scrip tures, rely on saciametits for the atonement ol sin and the regeneiatioQ of the heart, and 00 the intercession ofc saints for other spiritual and temporal blessings. ; j j 4 While these, or other en,ual defections from the truth have taken place in the principal de nominations, be great doctrines of ibe gospel have in a measure, fallen into neglect amoog those whq have not rejected tberb. Instead of beinr taught with tbe frequency and distinct m.iheir weretbirtv vearsiago,they are scarce ly preached at all irt manyi ot ibe cburches, and wnen maoe ;ne inemo uiui?tuui.v.

Whilst we are twt altogether prepared to agree with the reviewer in bis con clusions, we regard the suggestions as of much-importance. Vice, irreligion, and error in various shapes, unqueslibhably abound. The freedom of opinion, the lib erty of the press, and the general rest lessness and activity of the peoplerender this land a fine field, for the operations of whatever is antagonistic to truth and righteouesness. As population increases, and new-and dangerous elements are con stantly aidded to it, the powers of evil a mongst us will inevitably gain strength, unless counteracted by the energetic and persevering efforts, on a larger scale lhan has heretofore obtained of the people of God. Such considerations call loudly up on the Church to cast off her worldliness, to cultivate more of a scriptural self-denying piety, to give far more liberally of ber abounding substance, to pray tbe Lord of the harvest to raise up and send forth more labourers into his vineyard, and es pecially to seek, in larger measure, the outpourings of the Holy Spirit in genuine revivals of religion. No matter how for midable and successful may seem to be Ihe powers of darkness, there is an arm to which God's people have access, that can easily dash to pieces al.l their devices. Greater ts he TbaTis for us, than arc those that are against us. Anecdote of a Landlord, who was compell ed to pay his own Tenants Rent out of his own Pocket. A short petiod previous to the enactment of the present Jaw in favor of the tenant, a landlord owning some nineteen or twen ty houses in the lower part of the city, al ways bringing bim in remunerative rents, and often limes exbotbitant, particularly in fashionable business locations,; was in the habit of giving one whole day's grace lo bis tenant; but never failed ; on the second morning, to lake bis rent roll, and in his light barouche wagon, lo drive round to.all bis tenants, and as he rigidly requir ed payment on lhat day, every one expect ed to be prepared to meet bim. A poor widow oocupied one of bis; stores, some 10 by 18 feel, for which she paid four hundred dollais per annum. On the first day of February, she called dn this excellent but inexorable landlord, and told him that in consequence of tbe death of her mother, whose funeral expenses she had with great difliculty borne, she could not pay her rent on the second of Febru ary, as she expected. He argued the matter, and assured her it would be jut as easy to pay it then as to wait. She remonstrated, and besought bim with tears to allow ber to give him some part of it, and wait on ber a few days for the balance. To this earnest and pa ihelic appeal, he morosely replied: 4 1 don't want any blubbering, or any scenes enacted here ; if you can't pay the rent; then I must send a landlord's war rant; and make you." Saying this, he arose and opened the door, not wishing to give ber a chance to reply, and left the loom.
