heap qualities of good nature, good sense and veracity, far in advance of those which are printed avowedly for the promotion of the Christian religion; and of all the sacred emissions which we have had the misfortune to notice, we think The St. Louis Observer to be the most curiously unenlightened and the most miraculously illiterate. The Observer is the organ of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church--a considerable society, numbering many professors in Kentucky, Indiana and Missouri.
