alone, if they had not been left open, 
were sufficient to have defeated the whole 
enterprise. 
Thus did these two bodies of 
troops penetrate into the very heart of 
the city without any opposition, and 
meetirlg together at the royal .palace, ac-
. cording to their agreement, surprised the 
guards, and cu them to pieces. 
Some 
of the company that were within the pal-
ace, opening the doors to know what noise 
it was they heard without, the soldiers 
rushed in, and quickly made themselves 
masters of it ; and meeting the king who 
came up to them sword in hand, at the 
head of those that were in the way to 
succor him, they killed him, and put all 
those that attended him to the sword.-
The first thing the conquerors did after-
wards, was to thank the gods for having 
at least punished that impious king.-
These words are Xenophon's, and are 
very worthy of attention, as they so per-
fectly agree with what the Scriptures have 
recorded of the impious Belshazzar. 
Rpiritual life, it does not legitimately fullow 
that the word resurrection, which is in no 
instance thus used, may denote a mere spirit-
ual change. 
Again, there is to evidenco that the word 
resurrection was e\u00b7er understood by the 
Jews to denote anything but the resurrection 
of the body. If then in this case it is used 
in a different sense, it is an exception to an 
ot.herwise unvarying rule. 
of asserting in the Hebrew idiom, the utmost 
certainty of his dying in the day he should 
eat. It is therefore correctly translated, lfl 
the day thou eatest thereof, thou shalt .,urely 
die. 
Now as Adam knew what a day was, 
and did not knllW what death 'was, he COUld 
only have understood that whatever that 
death might be, it would be inflicted on him 
in the day in which he should eat. The 
devil asl�red Adam that he should not surely 
die. As God had assured him that he would, 
he would understand, if he did not in the day 
he ate experience tlte death threateneo, that 
the devil had told the trut.h. 
But as God's 
word could not fail, it must follow that the 
devil lied, and that Adam did surely die the 
death threatened, in the day he ate the fruit. 
Jesus had walked up to a commanding spot 
on one of the mountain:! of Israel, VI-here his 
clear voice could be heard by the thou-
sands of eaget· listeners, who thronged 
around him, they heard him say, "Blessed 
are the peace-malcers, for they shall he 
called the children of God." The multi-
tudes did not need to be told, that" Cursed 
a're the war-makers, for they shall be called 
the children of thfl ~evil." 
The taking of Babylon put an end to 
the Babylonian empire, after a duration 
of 210 years from the beginning of the 
. reign of Nabonassar. 
Thus was the 
power of that proud city abolished just 
fifty years after she had ·destroyed the 
city of Jerusalem and her temple. 
And 
herein were accomplished those predic-
tions, which the prophets Isaiah, Jeremi-
ah, and Daniel, had denounced against 
her, and of which we have already given 
a particular account. 
Thre is still one 
more, the mo~t important and the most 
incredible of them all, and yet the Scrip-
ture has set it down in the strongest terms,. 
and marked it out with the greatest ex-
actness ; a prediction literally fulfilled in 
all its points; the proof of which still a~­
tually subsists, is the most easy to 
be verified, and indeed its nature is not to 
be contested. What I mean is the per-
diction of so total and absolute a ruin of 
Babylon, that not the least remains or 
traces should be left of it. 
I think it 
·may not be improper to give an account 
of the perfect accomplishment of this fa-
mous prophecy, before we proceed to 
speak of what followed the taking of

BOSTON, JUNE 17. 1846.

J 
The First Resurrection. 
I 
We learn that some of our good brethren 
have taken the position that the first resur-
rection of Rev. 20th, is a spiritual resurrec-
tion. 
We nevtr supposed that any Advent-
ist could take this position ; for that veiw is 
the very base and superstructure of the 
spiritual millennia! theory. 
That admitted, 
we should have no argument against the 
spititualists. Those who take that position, 
we think cannot have wf.ighed well the ques-
tion, or have viewed it on more than one 
6ide. For if they had, they must have seen 
the strange inconsistency of a position, which 
admits the first resurrection is spiritual, and 
denies the consequences which legitimately 
follow. 
Again, the evidence is most concl'lbive, 
that.. the earliest Christians, and among them 
Papias and Polycarp, disciples of John who 
wrote the Apocalypse, understood the word 
in question, in this instance, to denote the 
resurrection of the body. If any could have 
a correct knowledge of the primitive use of 
this word, it must be those whu sa.t under the 
teachings of John, who communicatep to 
them this oracle. We find also, the first who 
denied two resurrections were ouliged to 
admit that Rev. 20th taught such a doctr.ine; 
and to a void it they had to deny the inspira-
tion of that book,-claiming that it was writ-
ten by Cerinthus, a heritic, for the purpose of 
proving this very doctrine ! ! This fact alone 
conclusively proves, that as this word was un-
derstood at the time this prophecy was given, 
it co,tld denote nothing less than the resur-
rection of the body. If there could be any 
doubt of this, it wuuld seem that it should be 
settled by the consideration that the word is 
here ubed in explanation of a preceding term; 
and in an explanation, words are never used 
in a secondary or accommodated sense. The 
Reve)atot· firs1. saw the souls of those that 
were beheaded for the witness of Jesus.-
The next that he saw of them was, that they 
lived and reigned with Christ a thousand 
years. What could this denote 1 It is ex-
plained-as being the first resurrection. 
The 
Revelator surely would not explain a doubt-
ful phrase in language which should he itself 
doubtful. 
The period of a thousand years precludes 
any such spiritual sense being attached to 
the word resurrection : for if this resurrec-
tion denotes only a spiritual change in the 
present slate, it must follow that there could 
be no such spiritual change within a thou-
sand years of Christ's advent; for the rest 
of the dead lived not again till the thousand 
years were finished. 
"
7ith such a meaning, 
it would follow, either that there have been 
no conversions. within the last thousand years, 
or that the end will not come for a thousand 
years. 
Neither of these be in~ admitted, it 
follows that the word resurrection, as here 
used, can only be applied to the resurrection 
of the bodies of the righteous. 
Another argument, and the one on which 
the most reliance is placed, is based on the 
fall of Adam. 
It is contended that Adam 
died the day he ate the forbidden fruit, that 
on that day he could only have died a spirit-
ual death, and that the first resurrection is 
only a spiritual change, the opposite of Ad-
am's fall. 
Therefore it is contended that 
the first resurrection, in Rev. 20th, is con-
version. 
It is argued that because we are spoken of 
in this state as being raised to newness of 
life, as being quickened, as being revived, 
that ther8fore the word resurrection does 
not necessarily denote the resurrection of 
the body. 
The ille~itimacy of this argu-
ment consists in the fact, that in no place in 
the Scriptures, if not here, is the word res-
urrection u~ed to denote any thing but the 
resurrection of the body. 
Now because 
other word!, sometimes used to denote the 
resurrection of the body, are sometimes used 
in an accommodated sense in allusion to our 
There is great plausibility in this argument, 
as there is in much sophistical reasoning: 
but it will not bear analysing. 
First! it is 
claimed that Adam died the day he ate the 
forbidden fruit. 
This we have no wish to 
deny ; nor could we, without doing great vio-
lence to langt1age. 
Adam had been told that 
the evening and the morning were the first, 
second, and third day, &c. 
He accordingly 
knew what a day was. He did not yet know 
what death was, and could form no concep-
tion of it; for he had not seen it as he had 
a day. 
He was then told that in the day he 
should eat of the forbidden fruit, he should 
surely die. It is in the Hebrew, "in dying 
thou shalt die," which is the strongest mode 
This admitted, it is claimed that it was 
only a spiritual death, and that the first res-
n rrection is. on! y a change, the reverse of 
what Adam then experienced. 
We freely 
admit that the first resurrection is only a 
cha..nge back to the condition frum which 
Adam fell; but we deny that the death he 
died was only a spiritual death. 
Aolam was in a state of innocence, and 
immortality : he was in a slate, all things 
respecting which were pronounced very 
good. 
The whole creation was in the per-
fection of beauty. 
He ate the forbidden 
fruit: the whole creation felt the shock.-
Adam fell from a holy to a sinful state. He 
no longer enjoyed the favor uf God. 
In ad-
dition to this, his whole system felt the blow. 
His body even was no longer perfect. It 
became subject to p_ain, sickness, disease, 
and decay, and the sultsequent sentence, 
"dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou re-
turn," was past on him. 
Adam did, there-
fure, in the very day he ate of that fruit, ex-
perit:nce a change in his spirit, and in his 
body, equivolent to the death threatened; for 
God's word would prove t.rue. 
As his body 
was thus affected, he experienced more than 
a spiritual change. 
In the last place, we will enquire, Does 
conversion work a change in us the reverse 
of that which Adam experienced in his fall1 
\Ye answer, it docs not. 
Con version does 
not change the body back to the state that 
Adam was in before he fell. 
The bodies of 
the most holy still are subject to pain, dis-
ease, and decay. 
To place the living saints 
back into the paradisaical Plate, will re-
quire the change spoken of in the twinkling 
of an rye, at the last trump. 
We all died 
in Adam; but we shall not all sleep. We 
therefore who are alive at the comin:r of 
Christ, will only have died the death that 
Adam first died; ancl will be affected, as he 
would have been affected, had the re urrec-
tion change been made in his da}'. As con-
versil'n does not change our bodies, so that 
they become incorruptible, and as this is 
done only b.v the change wh;ch is effected at 
the Lord's coming, when thuse who sleep in 
Jesus are raised, it foilows that ~he argument 
based on the fall of Adam, is uns.ound, aud

birth, the joyful strain, which furmed the 
climax of their swelling chorus, was, "Peace 
on earth, and good will to men." When 
Christ was a pattern of peace. When re-
viled, he reviled not a~ain. He said to the 
heavy laden, whom he invited to come to him 
for rest," I am meek and lowly of heart." 
One of his last miracle11 was wrought 1.0 
cure a wound caused by a sword, drawn in 
hi11 delence when traitors and murderers 
were seeking his life, and he took that occasion 
to say to his followers: " Put up the sword, 
-they that take the sword, shall perish with 
it.'' Paul, when writing to the Christians 
at Rome, the w~rld's capital, said: •If any 
man have not the spirit uf Christ, he is none 
of his." When naraing the fruits of the good 
Spirit, to the Galatians, his catalogue be-
gins with "love, joy, peace." To the Ro-
mans he also said : " The kingdom of God 
is righteousness, PEACE and joy in the Holy 
Ghost. 
For he that 
in these things 
sen·eth Christ, is acceptable to God and 
approved of men. " He adds : " Let us 
therefore fullow after the things which make 
fur peace." Rom. 14:17-19. 
Wher. David, in his distress, had tied from 
tnurderous Saul, he found time to write the 
34Lh Psalm. 
He wrote it as an acrostic, 
beginning the verses with tho successive 
!utters of the Hebrew alphabet, that they 
might be remembered. 
He addresses chil-
dren, aud all wh(1 would wish to enjoy a 
long and happy life, and tells them how they 
may attain that desire. 
His first direction 
is, to keep the tongue from evil, for he knew 
that a great portion of the troubles with 
which mf.n and women are afflicted, arise 
from impious,· fuolish, or quarrelsome words. 
He ends witlt the direction, " Seek ;PEACE, 
and pursue it." 
I have known children who seemed to 
seek for quarrels, and they fpund them, oflen 
to their cost, and bitter sorruw, 
Others 
have sought fur peace, and been success-
ful. 
Hut the Psalmist's direction means 
much more than that, we should be willing 
to live in peact>, w.hen there is no tetopta· 
tio:t to fight; wltile we are ready to help 
blnw up the fires of 8trife which others have 
kindled. 
Y.l e must restrain ovrselves, guard 
our lips, govern our tempers, cuiLivate a 
peaceful, loving, forgivin" spirit,-or in other 
words, cl1erislt the spirit
0
of Heaven in our 
hearts, and let that spirit prompt every act. 
Thus we s~.al1 seek peiice, and prove the 
promise true, ''Seek and ye s'hall find," as 
well in seeking fur peace, as in seeking fur 
parJon. 
Here some thoughtful reader may tell me, 
that peace is not alwa:•s found by those who 
seek it; and may refer, for proof, to the glo-
rious army of heavenly-minded martyrs, 
'l'ho were persecuted and slain, by wicked 
men. 
Before repl_ving to this, let me 8till ask, if 
you would not rather be a martyr than a per-
secutor. 
Would you not rather lie bleedina 
like Abel, than be a murderer like Cain'! 
Would vou not rather be a John the Baptist, 
whose head was cut off by order of a crowned 
adulterer whom he had reproved, rathdr than 
take the place of that terror-stricl,eo, con-
science-smitten king 1 
But, with regard to the martyrs, I would 
reply, first, that they lived in times when 
they were called to war against national 
crimes, or, to witness for truth when gov-
ernments and communities were the defen-
'ders anJ patrons of falsehood. 
It should 
aleo be remembered, that they had peace in 
reality, if not in appearance. 
Just before Christ was crucified, he sair) : 
"Peace I leave with you, my peace I ~iVh' 
unto you." He spoke the truth in this 
though he also said : "The time w11l come 
when he that killeth you will think he doeth 
God service.~· Paul and Silas had peace, 
though imprisoned, and made fast in the 
stoeks, when they sang praises at midnight. 
Stephen had peace, when he saw, through 
the opening heavens, his Redeemer, and 
Advocate at the right hand of God, th11ugh 
a shower of stones so.m sealed his mortal 
eyes in death. 
That same Jrsus, whom the heavens must 
receive, till th~ times of restitution, will soon 
return, having prepared mansions for his 
chilcJren,-the peacemakers. Are you, dear 
reader, among the number who will enter

The Visions of Daniel. 
A Brother requests us to publish the fol-
lowing from Alexander Campbell's debate 
with Robert Owen on the "Evidences of 
Chri~tianity." 
The prophecy or Daniel more circumstan-
tially describes the time in the wonderful 
vision which he explained for Nebuchad-
nezzar. 
Jn this vision there was a prospec-
tive view or the history of the world from 
the time of the Chaldean or Assyrian mon-
archy, down to the end of time. 
Two inci-
dents in this prophecy are worthy of notice. 
Frst, the time fixed (or the commencP.ment 
of the new kingdom of God in the world : 
and second, that the Ruman empire once 
subdued, there should never again be a uni-
versal empire upon the earth, save that of 
the ~rucificd King. 
' 
Now we do know what efforts have been 
150 
made to build up great empires, and how 
abortive they have all proved. The most 
su.ccessful effort ever made since the down-
fall of the Romans, was th:tt made by Na-
poleon. 
In the year 1813. he cont.rolled the 
temporal destinies of sixty four millions of 
human beings : but what was this number 
to the whole population of Europe, to sav 
nothing, of. the other three quarters of the 
globe 1 Nothing like a universal empire 
has ever been established, since the di-
vision of the Roman into ten comparative-
ly petty sovereignties. 
But Gabriel informs Daniel more definite-
ly of the date of Messiah's birth, and of the 
commencement of the last 6rreat empire. 
He says, seventy weeks are determined 
upon the people. 
And so on through' all the 
rest of the chapter. 
When I have mude another extract from 
Daniel, we h:..ve all the data before us. "How 
long shall be the vision concerning the daily 
sacrifice, and the tran3gression of desolation, 
to give both the sanctuary and the host to be 
trodden under foot 1 And he said unto me, 
Unto two thousand and three hundred clays; 
then shall the sanctuary bP-cleansed." Now, 
as the Lord said to Ezekiel, I have appointed 
one day for a year, and as we find in sym-
bolic language one day stands for a year, we 
are at no loss in coming to the followi!!g con-
clusions. 
From the time of the going forth 
of the decree to rebuild Jerusalem, until thP. 
death of Messiah, would be three-score and 
nine and a half weeks ; that is, a period of 
four hundred and eighty-five or eighty-six 
years. 
Seven weeks make forty-nine years, 
sixty-two weeks make four hundred and thir-
ty-four years, and in the middle of the week 
he was to establish the New Institution; that 
is, three and a half or four years more. From 
the going forth of the decree to rebuild J eru-
salem, to the llaptism of Jesus, was four hun-
dred and eighty-three years-his ministry 
was three aud a half years, or the middle of 
one week; then he was cut off. 
And in half 
a week, that is, three and a half years more, 
Christianity was sent to all nations. This 
completes the seventy weeks, or four hun-
dred and ninety years of Daniel. 
Now from the birth of Jesus till the gen-
eral proclamation of the Gospel, was about 
thirty seven years, which subtracted from 
four hundred and ninety, makes the nativity 
of Jesus four hundred and fifty-three years 
from the commencement of the rebuilding of 
Jerusalem, which occupied seven weelcs, that 
is, forty-nine years. 
Daniel then fixes the 
time of the nativity ; the commencement of 
the kingdom, or confirmation of tl.e covenant; 
and the ultimate cleansing of the sanctuary, 
or purgation of tht~ Christian church from 
antichristian abominations. 
This last event 
was to be two thousand three hundred years 
from the aforesaid date. 
That is, from the 
birth of Jesus about eighteen hundred and 
forty-seven years. 
Now from these prem-
ises it is clearly established that the Messiah 
should be born while the second temple was 
standing; before the scf'!ptre and a lawgiver 
finally departed from Judah ; in the reign of 
the Roman Cresars; and four hundred and 
fifty-three years from the commencement of 
the rebuilding of Jerusalem. 
And does not 
the event exactly correspond with the pre-
dictions! (p. 84.) 
I shall only give you another specimen of 
the prophetic spirit of the New Testament 
writers. 
Paul in his Jetter to the Thessalo-
nians, intimates that some persons had sug-
gested that the end of the world was at hand. 
To counteract such an idea, which seems to 
have influenced some tn abandon the ordi-
n~ry bu~iness of this life, he gives us a suc-
cmct v1ew of the great series of events 
w~ich were to come to pass before the end 
ot the world. 
He describes a tremendous 
apostacy in 2 Thess. 2:1-10: "Now we be-
seech you, brethren, concerning the coming 
of our Lord Jesus Christ, ar.d our gathering 
together around him-; that you be not soon 
shaken from your purpose, nor troubled nei-
ther.by_ spir_it, nor by wc:.rd, nor by letter' from 
us, 1nt1maung that the day of Christ is at 
hand. 
Let no man decieve you by any 
method ; for that day shall not come, unless 
there come thE' apostacy first, and there be 
r~vealed that man of sin, the son of perdi-
twn; who opposes and exalts himself above 
every o~ who is called a ~od, or an object 
of worship. 
So that he, 1n the temple of 
God, as a God, sitteth openly, showing him-
self that he is a God. 
Do you not remem-
ber, that when I was with you, I told you 
tl1ese things 1 And you know what now re-

already inwardly worlcs, only till he whc now 
restrains be taken out of the way. Ana then 
shall be revealed that lawles~ one: him the 
Lord will consume by the breath of his 
mouth, and render ineffectual, by the bright-
ness of his coming ; of whom the coming is 
after the strong working of Satan with all 
power and signs, and mimcles of falsehood. 
And with all the deceit of unrighteousness, 
among them who perish, because they em-
braced not the love of the trnth that they 
might. be saved." 
On this observe that the 
apostle declares, that in the great drama of 
human existence, the end of the world could 
not come until after the apostacy. This apos-
tacy he describes as beginninl! to work in the 
first age of Christianity, but that it could not 
succeed in attaining its full vigor, until pagan 
Rome sbould yield to Christian Rome. 
Un-
til he that sat upon the throne, and supported 
pagan superstition, should be supplanted ·and 
succeeded by a Christian emperor. 
In plain 
English,-then, says he, shall come forth that 
lawless one, who will usurp the honors of God 
alone in his dominion, over the faith and con-
sciences of men.

Dear Bro. Himes :-f never before saw 
the fulness of grace and its glory, as I saw 
it in the Scriptures of truth, when I emhraced 
the doctrine of the spredy coming of Christ. 
The cominj!' of Christ is. my only desire. 
In 
common with many of my brethren in Christ, 
I expPcted the Lord in '43, but with them I 
have heen disappointed, and I am not ashamed 
to confess that my expectations have not been 
reahzed. 
But I felt then, and still ferl, that 
I have the approbation of my Heavenly Fa-

that eventful day. 
I have no fellowship 
with fanaticis~n nf any kind : but the funda-

believe, and 1 am satisfied that fanaticism hll'S 
nothing to dn with them. I have now a tern 
pnrary connection with the little church in

It is now in the hands of the 
Wesleyan Methoriisfs. 
And having no Ad-

upon the condition that I could preach freely 
what I believed the Scriptures tau2ht rela-

I love to hear from the brethren

light and comfort some poor souls get from

My heart leaped within me, my spirit re-
joiced, and my tongue broke out in praises 
to our Heavenly Father, while tears of joy 
and gratitude burst forth from my eyes, as I

The often repeated calls from England are 
affecting. This, with the mission to the South

of these times are wonderful,-they stare us 
in the face whereyer we look. 
An awful 
storm is at hand, that will try all our founda-
tions. 
The time is short, and what is done 
must be done quicklv. 
Oh may we live in 
peace, and stand nnqtoved by all the elements 
that are in motion around us. 
Brn. GILLEf and DANEs, of Patchogue, 
L. I., writes:-
Cannot some efficient elder, whilst passing 
to and from New York and Boston, catl this 
wa v and break to us the bread of life ~ 
We 
wit'! do what we can to sustain him, if we 
can he assured that he is a consistent be-
liever in the advent to come. 
We think it 
is our duty whilst in this state to do good un-
to all men as we havo opportunity, and that 
the coming of Christ should operate as a 
motive with us, to urge men to repent, feel-
ing that we are stewards, and shall soon be 
called to give an account of our stewardship. 
We feel that sinners, as a general thing, are 
not aware that they are living on the long-
suffering of God; yet we believe the long-
suffering of God rnav become salvation to 
many souls, if all will fail hfully discharge 
their duty in the fear of God. 
We believe 
that until Chr'ist comes to raise the dead, and 
change the living Israel, (those who have 
wrestled with nod and prevailed,) we are to 
exhort men to reprnt, because he hath ap-. 
pointed a day in which he will judge the 
world in righteousness. 
If a brother ehould come this way, he may 
call on either of us, or on Bro. D. Overtur.n, 
or C. Smith, Patchogue, L. I.

It is all the Advent

Obituary. 
Died in Langdon, N. H., March 18th, of 
smali pox, Bro. Charles Wheeler, aged 66 
years. For many years our brother had been 
a consistent follower of Jesus, and for three 
or four past, a believer in the speedy, per-
sonal, and glorious appearing of our Lord 
and Sa vwr Jesus Christ. 
For a few months 
previous to his death, he seemed tn be 
wholly given up to the work and service of 
God. 
The blessed hope was his stay and 
staff; it was his comfort by day and by night. 
A few days before his death, the glory of 
God's kingdom seemed to be brought afrt>sh 
in living characters before his mind. 
He 
gave a most glowing description of the hea-
venly Jerusalem, and on being asked if he 
expected to be one among &hem there, be ex-
elaimep, "0 yes, blessed .ue God." 
His 
faith in the coming of the ktngdom at hand 
remained firm and unshaken until the last.-
He fell asleep in the glorious hope of a bet-
ter resurrection-that he should sleep but a 
little while before the grand comsummatinn 
uf Israel's hope should be ushered in. 
May 
God hsten the glorious time. 
How checrinjl is the prospect before us, 
that, though our frieuds are wrested and torn 
frum us in lctrms most agJZravating and affi;c-
tive. and though sickness a,nd disease wa::~te 
and destroy, yet, in a little while, Jesus will 
come; when all that love his appearing, will 
meet on the hill of God, where they will d1e 
nu mo.re. Therefore we ·'sorrow not as those 
without hope," but lift up our heads with 
cheerfulness and gla<!ness, knowing the day 
of' our redernptiom, together with that of all 
those which sleep in Jesus, i1-1 now at the 
door. "Wheretore comfort .one anothor with 
these words."

THE ADVENT HE.RALD. 
FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC SUMMAR'Y, ETc, 
Something tangible has at last appeared In reference 
to the Oregon dispute. It appears that the British Min-
ister hRs fl"ain submitted propositions (whether In the 
shape of a~" ultimatum," we do not learn) for the Rd-
justinent of the difficulty. The President submitted the 
matter to the Sen!lte on the lOth inst. As t.he Senate 
immediately went into executive session, nothing defi-
nite, of coul'8e, is known. We incline to the opinion, 
that an "ullimatum" has been received ; we entertain 
this idea, from the tone of the English press, togeth«V 
with the complete prepRration of a large and powerful 
British squadron, and the anticpated war between this 
country and Mexico. 
Therefore, if Great Britain in-
sists on her claim to a point, which DemocTRts and 
Whigs have committed themselves not to allow, we do 
not feel very sanguine RB to the peaceful termination of 
the controversy. Besides, that portion of the Senate, 
who have maintained the extreme claim of this country, 
and who doubtless have been forced to moderate their 
claim somewhat by the powerful arguments oflr. Ben-
ton, will be likely to insist with greater pertinacity on 
a line which the British Government may have, by the 
supposed "ultimatum," refused to concede. By our 
next, perhaps, we shall know whether we are to hale 
war or peace with England. 
The American army crossed the Rio Grande, and 
took possession of Matamoras, without a gUn being 
fired. All the Mexican ports are under a rigorous block-
ade. It is said that California and Monterey are by this 
time occupied by American troops. News of the two 
battles has reached Mexico, and produced a great sensa-
tion. President Paredes, rletermined to prosecute the 
war witll en«>rgy, has laid an enormous monthly tax 
upon ecclesiastical property, which alone would make 
:Mexico too hot to hold him. 
The public debt of France amounts to the snug sum 
of Sl,650,000,000! It seems strange, thRt a nRtion, Rf-
fiieted with such au incubus, will persevere in her silly 
attempts (to say nothing of her cruelty) to colonize Al-
geria, which cannot be elfected. France mistook her 
true interests,-ber own character, when she was led• 
by Rn exceedin~ly foolish desire to imitate England, to 
attempt a settlement of AlgeriR as a French colony. It 
was a short-sighted move, and never can be productive 
of aught but bloodshed. 
Lecomte, the man who is said to have lately at-
tempted the life of Louis Philippe, has not yet had his 
trial-and will not ; or, if he is tried, he will be ac-
quitted. We are not credulous enough to believe that 
this is not a clap-trap to awaken sympRt.hy. Louis Phil-
Ippe knows that he ia old, and that his demise will be 
productive of momentous consequences. 
Hence the 
production of this piece of political finesse, which is 
eminently calculated to alfect the French character. 
norEFUL.-We learn ty the Boston "Times," that 
the old Lynn Mineral Spring Hotel, so long the resort of 
.rowdies and prostitutes, is about to be converted into a 
school for boys, under the management ofthe Romanists. 
The committee appointt'd to inve!!ti~tRte the charges 
brought by ~If. Ingersoll against Mr. Webster, have re-
ported favorably of the latter gentlemRn. 
quiries made by friends in reference to the 
visit Bro. Lenfest intended to make to New 
Orleans, he wishes to make the following 
otatement.-When he proposed going South, 
he fully expected to ha,·e done so; he put 
his book," The Locker," to the press with 
little or no means of getting it through, but 
friends came forward to assist him, so that 
he has been able to print 1700 copies, which, 
including the stereotype plates, cost $120 37. 
He has received, in donations and for books, 
$108 37, leaving him in debt $12. 
He has 
on hand nearly 300 of the books; and there 
are a!Jout 500 in the hands of agents, and 
others, not yet paid for. 
Having the plates 
for the work all prepared, he will now be 
able to print any number he may need, at 
very little expense, and in a short time.-
The reason why he did not go to New Or-
leans in April, as he 'expected, was, that on 
account of exposure, his health became im-
paired, so that he could not work his passage, 
as he intended and delay in getting a supply 
of books; being thus detained until the sea-
son was too far advanced, he did not go as 
he designed to, He has sent to Bro. Noyes, 
at New Orleans, over 200 books,-Bibles, 
Testaments, and "The Locker,"-to be dis-
tributed among seamen, and these it is hoped 
will do something in that field, with the 
blessing of God. 
As he is about to leave for No,ra Scotia, 
he wishes to make this statement for the in-
formation and satisfaction of brethren and 
friends. 
To Correspondents. 
Bro. Wilmot-your letter was not received

He will be so occupied with labor there,

missions. 
To NovA ScoTIA.-We have received a 
Jetter from Bro. E. Crowell, containing some 
inquiries about the Nova Scotia Mission.-
It is now expected that Bro. Lenfest will 
leave, to enter on the labors of that mission, 
this week. 
It is not deemed advisable to 
send any others to that field, until the calls 
and prospects are more fully understood, 
which Bro. L. may report to us in a short 
time. 
To NEw OnLE.urs.-In answer to the in-
time of trouble, which is to be when Michael 
shall stand, as brought to view in Dan. 12:1, 
2, is a time of trouble which will come on 
the wicked at Christ's coming. We under-
stand that it begins with Christ's coming, o~ 
Michael's standing up, and that it continue~ 
during the pouring out of the seven vials of 
God's wratb,-the seven last plagoes on the 
ungodly.

Bro. W M. JAMES, of Vergennes, Vt., asks: 
"Has Rev. 14:6-9 heen fulfilled 1 What is 
the image, and what the mark 1 ,Rev. 15:2. 
What the number of his name 1 
The 6th and 7th verses may be now in 
process of fulfilment. 
The 8th and 9th vs. 
we expect are lo be fulfilled in the future. 
As to the image and mark, we have seen no 
better solution than that presented hy)1,ather 
Miller in his 19 lectures. 
Rev. Dr. King.-The position and course of 
this distinguished missionary of the American 
Board, at Athen!1, like that of Christian reform-
er!§ of other days, is likely to become a matterof 
interest to the civilized world, especially should 
he have the opportunity of a noble defence bef?r.e 
a civil tribunal. 
It is well known that a clVll 
prosecution was commenced against him the last 
year, for publishing a book, made up to a con-
siderable extent, of selections from the early 
Greek fathers, yet condemning some of the su-
perstitions of their bwn church. 
A recent trav-
elling correspondent of the New.York Evangelist, 
wr·iting from Athens, says, that when summoned 
for examination, his accusation, as read to him by 
the Judge, was as follows :-
" You are accused of having in your book re-
viled the mother of God, the holy images, the 
liturgy of Cbrysostum and Basil, the seven <Ecu-
menical CouncilR, the doctrine of the transform a. 
tion of the bread and wine into the body and 
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, in the fearful 
mystery of the communion. Have you any de-
fence to make ? '' King replied: '' Those things 
in my book which have reference to Mary, to 
transubstantiation, to images, I did not say; but 
the most brilliant luminaries of the Eastern 
church, St. Epiphanius, St. Chrysostorn, the great 
St. Basil, St. Irenreus, Clemens, and Eusebius, 
Pamphilius, say them." 
Judge. 
"Have you anything further to say?" 
Dr. King. 
"Nothing." It is not yet decided, 
says the corespondent, that there is ground for 
action in the case1 If it should be thus decided 
he will be brought before the criminal court, and 
if condemned, be li11ble to imprisonment for three 
months. 
Officers of the govemment have seized 
such copies of the bO<ok as could be found ; 
but fortunately about 900 of the 1000 print-
Pod, are t:irculating in Coostantinople, Smyrna, 
and other parts of the Turkish empire, as well 
as in Greece. 
Meanwhile, as if to call universal 
attention to the book, the Patriarch at Constanti-
nople, the head of the Greek Church. has also 
excommunicated him, and condemned hill little 
book. 
'fhe tempest has beilt heavily upon him, 
but is beginning to subside. 
At first, scarcely an 
individual dared to come to his house, and even 
now many do not salute him in the street, and 
searcely one among them that really feel friendly 
would probably dare to l>e seen walking with 
him. 
However, he bas abundant evidence that 
his book is read, and ii! approved by man} among 
the Greeks, especially by the rr.ore learned and 
candid. 
ToE EMPEROR OF Russu.-A letter from 
Venice, says the "Paris Constitutionnel," 
" speaks of the extraordinary precautions 
taken by the Emperor Nicholas to P.scape all 
attempts that might be made against his life. 
On his arrival at Padua, he himself visited 
the apartment in which he was to sleep, 
strikir.g the walls o~. his bedchamber with a 
hammer. 
He caused the mattt·csses of the 
bed to be removed, and replaced by a leather 
mattress, which was filled with hay under 
his own eyes. 
Tbe Emperor refused to 
taste any of the dishes prepared for his au·p-
per, and called for his travelling case, out of 
which he took a boule of Malaga wine, and 
a cold roast fowl, which he shared with Count 
Orlo!f. 
At Venice, the put.lie e.tpected hiu. 
with much impatience at the theatre· but he 
remai,ied in the bottom of the box, a~d could 
scarcely be seen. 
Count Orloff sat in the 
front~ attired in a rich uniform. 
When the 
play was over, four carria~es drove up to the 
gate, and nobody rould tell which one was 
inte~ded for the Emperor. 
The same pre. 
cautton was observed when he left Venice, 
and ~o one could tell whether the Emperor 
repaired by sea or land to Trieste."
