When 1 commenced the publication of my Millennial Harbinger,' I was aware 'that Mr. ('ampbvll was understood by some to deny the necessity of divine influence, and I therefore determined, if it were possible, to ascertain the truth of this. Accotdingly; I addressed him on the point, in a letter whieb will be found in my Millennial Harbinger,, vol. i. p.,174 180, ia which I endeavored to show the impor tance of this. doetrioe; nd to 'discriminate be t ween divine teaching, and that which is merely human : and I now entreat the partic ular attention of all, who would enter into the merits of this qne-tion, to that letter : as their doing so, will "relieve be from 'the necessity of 1 adroitness, I am of opinion, that be would have found a moro substantial apology in 2 Cor. xii l? utter cuase;ot the verse3 Ta jm It is a moat, irksome and unsracions task to - nfT... these strictures' on tbo writings "of one whom 1 waC ohce gratifie iucalling my friend ; but tbey aro extorted from me by the indiscretion, of ; certain persons in "this f country whh ha much too hastily adopted Mr; C.'a 'opinions as ine sianaara onneir creed, and arenoir Indus triously , propagating them; to . the unsettling of churches, and it is greatly to bo feared, to the subverting of many individuals from the faith of the Gospel ; and ihis mustpleadmy excuse for still detaining' the reader on! so un pleasant a subject : u Amicus Socrates, Amicus i?lufoi nait';mea.1rtfas; ; : I have often adrulred U1J9 VremarKVo the learned Witsics, in his work on The Econ omy of the Covenants, when treating on the subjjet of Justification Book' iii. ohap. viiii ; and it is ' worthy of the reader's attention. 14 The doctrine of Justification," says he, "dif fuses itself through the whole body of divinity; and according as the foundation is cither solid ly established, or superficially touched, so the whole superstructure cither rises graoeful and majestic, , beyond the power of assault, 1 or threatens an approbious fall." Tbe learned professor then coes on 4o speak of the hi'sh importanee that was attached to this article of the Christian faith by the Waldenses in the middle ges. The pious Pieard'uns, says he, " as they were called in Bohemia and Mo ravia, (the country of John Hups and Jerome of frague,) valued this article at it true price, wuen m their Uonfcssion of Faith, Art vn speaking of J usttficatioa, they thus write : this sixth Article is accounted with ns the most important xif all, as being the sum of all Chris tianity and piety." Wherefore .our, divines teach and handle it with the utmost diligence and f application", endeavoring to instil it into all." And in this they acted wisely Lu ther, the great Reformer, pronounced it- 'Articultts slaniis vrl cadentil 'Vcrsw? .that article -of the Christian faith by which the church stand or falls, and declared tht it REIGNED IN HIS HEART." This doctrine, as Dr. Robertson well observes ia his Intro diiction to the History of the reign of Charles ruth, was the lever with which Luther effec ted the Reformation from Popery ; and I do not hesitate to affirm, that it . is the pivot on which all scriptural chmthnity turns With these views of the paramount imp rtance of the 6uhj 'et, I hivo searched the ritiu; nf Mr. Campbell with no little anxi-uy. to a.cer stain. if possible, what ar his vi.-ws of this mnbjct ; but great lias b vn my di.-i.ip; oiut uhnt. The most particular ueeount ojf th. matter that I have met with, is in thlat of as works, viz : his- Christianity RHr-d I .1. e : t. i 1 c uuu, tnsreiore, it may consi lerea as pie eutiug us with his most m itured thoughts- As such, I shall here extract them. rable, that he should propound to us the true faith, and j give- us an - explteit atatomant of what he has. himself gathered from a twenty years etuJy of the, Soriptures. .After all the volumes h,e. has issued from tho. press, I. frank ly confess, that 1 find it a, much easier tsk U say what he docs hot bold than wh it he does 1 For instance, he. docs not hold the doctrine of Original Sin, Or the " toul depravity of msn kind, in consequence of the fall of their foei i ral head and representative;' I fa- doH not hold the- necessity of the' operations of the Ho ly Spirit, in order to give the Goipcl its savin? eff ict in regeneration,. or'convcrsion. Hedoui not bold that fLungQdly r pinners j are, justified freely, by divino grace, not working, but ,bulicv ing.'yj lie does, not .hold the doctrine , of the Sovereignty of divine grace, preceding or anti cipatiog the will of man ; on the contrary, he tells us that " alt who resolve individual salva tion into a were act of Sovereignty, disarm tbe Gospel of all its powers, make its Author insincere, its promises and its arguments d i oeitlul, an instruraont of gailo, .and double meanings, a p trade of empty professions to save appearances; aud, worse than all. mock our miseries and tantalise our feelings.' He, himself, "probably, expects to be aved by sotue. other graets than that which rescued tbe dying malefactor from sinking info the j iws of hell ! He does not hold the Moral Lw to be a rule of lifj to the. people of the New Covenant, though Christ himself has. indisputably, adop ted it himsjlf ,as suoh Malt, v, 17, &o. I ting! it thus go on in the aama denying course, and we should nod the catalogue of negttives sufficiently copious. But who oball furnish us with his catalogue of credsndt the articles of his creed ? Does he belierc in. the Deity, and distinct personality of the Holy Spirit ? If k wny miuse aouois 11110 ine minus 01 nis reaa ers, by recommending, a he has done, in his Millennial Harbinger, vol-ill p.

But Mr.' Campbell i still on the trn, and, in the rapidity of hi bioger, and honestly, avowed . his kertW from the outaet,- impugning the doctrine of 'the Trinity In rather coarse terms. .

'How- son and Convbcare, two eminent tehoUrs of tbe EngliHlri-stabIi&bmcnt, give ' the same tea timony in their Life of St. Paul,1 In eourao of republication in this country by tbe Applelom " It is needless to add that baptism, (unless in exceptional, cases), wis administered by im m-rsiou, the convert bcioz plunged beneath the water to represent his death to the life of ain, and then raised from this momentary burial t9 represent tho resurrection to the life of riah tcouAnesi It must be a subject of regret that tho general discontinuance of this original form of bxptism, (though, perhaps necessary in our sonuern cum lies,) has rendered "otxnro to the popular apprehension some very important passage of scripture." f May we not hope -that Christiana- will, one day, so 44 rye to eye, and that the baoufal and significant ordinance of baptirm will be resioreu v its primitive cnaraeter, ana all Oo- licvcrs, and believers only, be buried in the likeness of Christ's death, and raited sgio in the likrm-ss of bis rrsurrcetioo. Trut Umo. enlarging upon the subject jn this place. cannot help entertaining a surmise or supt cior;, that Mr. Campbell declined laying that letter before the' readers of his Harbinger ;and I found it 0 this fact : tbat tboogh 1 have repeatedly applied, both to himself and others, 1 have never been able to procure a' complete cpy of his Harbinger for 1 S35, in r h ich my let ter ought' (0 hate appeared 1 wish, L may be mistaken m my fears 00 this head.

It is pleasant to take noto of concession! to the truth of their essential principles made bv candid opponents.

Argument atlcr argument, position after noai- lion, has been yielded by these scholars, un'il they can no longer agree upon the line of de fence to be held against Baptist aggressions. Stuart and Belcher, Wilson and Peters, Bush- ucll nd . Hodge, develop and defend theories and principles mutually antagonistic and tbe disciples of one must of necessity renouooe tht other.
