That he, (Jesus Christ) at his se cohd appearance, was God the Father, mid that he (Matthew) was himself God thfe Father, and liad power to do all things o forgive sins' and communicate the Ho ls Ghost to such as believed him." The above tissue of blasphemy and ab- r 1" . t t ' I I I surdity- was, sirange 10 say, oeucvcu uv Mr. Pierson ; and regarding Mattliewjuu tie character he represented himself, "he respected him accordingly, and took him into his house to reside with him. Tn the month ol September, 1832, Mr. Piersod introduced Mr. Folger to Mr. Matthewsr and at the same tune informed htm who and what Matthews announced litniself to be, and also of his (Pierson's) implicit belief in the truth of Matthews' divine attributes. Matthews, having thus become acquainted with Mr. Folger, lost no time in endeavoring: to increase tlie number of his dupes, and repeatedly call' etl at Mr. Folger's couniing house to an nounce his divine uiisskni, aul strove to convert Mr.-Folger to a ibt hef of it. one occasion he said to Mr. Folger, know the end ot all things, r a nil then waile use of the following mode of illus- crtion. Taking up apiece 1833, he required them to give an account -kf their property, and having acertaineu it, he de manded that they should both; enter into an agreement to support hun, which would ensure them the continued blessing of God. Tiiey accordingly entered into the required agreenu and supp;ie( linn whatever money manded. On the death-of Mr. Pierson, Matthews came to reside at Mr." Folders house in this city : and continued to be supplid with money by him until the ear ly part of this mnith, when the latter in timated to him that he could n longer continue to support him, and that they must part. Matthews by no means liked lhi rtrmiricpil r if r n rrirviii t hninir ilntur. mined to make the most he could of the !0M 'c Jointly. matter, and kuowing that Mr,, Ftilgerhad some inoney belonging to the estate of his wife, he told him very peremptorily hat he must not throw" him destitute on the world, that 'if he did so the blessing of God would depart from liim, but that if he' gave money to support him, the bles sing of God' should continue to him." Air. calling medical aid, they were deterred by Matthews, who told them that ki he. hml 'w er of life and rferrfh, and Mr. Ficr sniu U'judnoi die " But he did die; and a subsequent examination of the body, by three able physicians, resulted in the conviction that he had been poisoned, And certificates to this effect were drawn up aryl signed by these physicians, and are n w in N:'w-York. Who poisoned Mr. Pierson, is to be determined by the pro per tribunal." We understood esterdav i that a postmortem examination of Mr. Piersoirs remains was on foot, but did not learn that it had taken place. Only three or four days before his decease, Mr. Pier son came to this city, in company with a friend of ours, with whom, in conversa tion, he was perfectly rational upon all subjects excepting that ol religion.

This threat wauot sufficient to overthrow their resolufiun, and a day was fixed upon when Matthews should leave the house.
