ough it be true, as it often practically is, that the fall has reversed this order of things, and placed the wife at the head of affairs, still the doctrine of headship, the doctrine of inequality, prevails in the one case as in the other. It is not amiss, however, to remark in passing, that even so great and humble a man as the Apostle Paul preferred the old-fashioned doctrine: he insists that we observe the original order of things : I suffer not a woman to usurp authority over the man ; 1 Tim. II. 12; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1 Cor. XIV. 34. As to other points in this dogma, they have been already treated. We only add that philosophy, no less than religion and true patriotism, cannot fail to regret that a dogma setting each of their claims aside, and teaching the purest agrarianism, and that under the most deadly form — the form of pure abstract truth--should have found its way into that immortal instrument, the Declaration of Ameri

e period; whilst bond servant is one who has either contracted to do so through his whole life, or who, by the usages of war, or by inheritance, or by purchase from another, was so bound to service--(such as Paul calls a servant under the yoke. 2 Tim. VI. 1.) These different relations are distinctly marked by the use of these terms in the Bible, and especially the meaning of bond servant, in distinction from a hired servant: If thy brother that dwelleth by thee be waxen poor, and be sold unto stic slaves. And in all this time, and under all these circumstances, not a word is known to have escaped him, either in public or in private, declaring the relation of master and slave to be sinful! But, on the contrary, Paul's denunciation.--1 Tim. VI. 3--of the theachers of abolition doctrines, that they consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, is sufficient reason to believe that he was always understood to approve of the relation, and to condemn in express

ystem of slavery has undergone within late years a comparison of the menials of the free and of the slave States, and the only plan of emancipation admissible the gospel the only remedy for the evils of slavery Paul's philosophy and practice, 1 Tim. VI. 1-5. immediate emancipation is the scheme of the abolitionists proper, whilst gradual emancipation is the favorite plan of the anti-slavery party, The ground we should take is this, that no plan of emancipation, either immediate or gradualions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil-surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness. The whole paragraph from which this quotation is made--1 Tim. VI. 1-5--is commended to particular attention. And I submit, that if the apostle understood the subject of domestic slavery, either as a philosophical or a practical question, the class of men now engaged in agitating our country on the subject
