A that 1 about ! take pine, I respectfully make my bow to you and your readers, and resume my argument. As ynur readers have changed greatly since I had the honor I addressing them, ininy new subscribers having been added to your list, s I am happy to learn, and of course some who were then subscribers having discontinued, to d.i them justice as ihey now stand on your list, aud myself too, I ahould recapitulate what has gone before. But as I have heretofore abridged and condense i at much as I could to keep from occupying so much spuci in your columns as to become troulle-ome to you, I shali . now, for that reason, omit a recapitulation. This may leave um of your present readers somewhat in the dark and hinder them from undemanding what I may hereafter say so weil as I could wish ; yet, as 1 havn some thought that after I shall have written what 1 contemplate writing on the subject, I will collect and publish in pam pli'el Ixim what I shall have written, together itll what may liuve been said ty those who take " I lie other aide," that the reader m.iy have I lie matter fuiily before him. If this should be done, those of your present readers who may wish to aee (he whole will then have an opportunity of doin so, and llie luck of a recapitulation iiere will be supplied. 1 shall, us promised in my last, now take up the rode given to Noah and his sons, to see what it does enact, and to reply to the further objections of J.

I have not hoard a word from him since he entered the lists and took up the glove 1 shall first lay the Nocliic Code, as it standi in the Bible, before my readers, as follows : M And God blfS-fd Noih and his son, and raid unto them. Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the eaitli. And the for of you. aud the diead uf jr-.u. shall be uiMin every beast uf the earth, and upon eveij fowl of ihe sir, upon sll that movtth upon the earth, and upon all the fi-hes of he sea; in'o your hands are ibey drliveitl.

I will now put down numerically the statements, commands, graut, enactments, See. contained, as 1 apprehend, in this code. 1. It was said to Noah and his sons, by God, after blecsing them. 2. II commanded tltetn to be fruitful, and multiply and replenish the earth. 3. He proclaimed as the lore, that the fenr of them, and the dread of lliein, shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, and upon all that move upon the earth, and upon a!l the fishes of the Sea. 4. II delictred the whole animal creation lo them. 5. He enacts that every moving thing that lived should he meat Tor them ; with a restraining or limiting clause that they shall not eat the blood with the 11!sli. Ii. He enacts that he will require the blood of (heir lives at the hand of every beast and at the hand of man ; and at the hand of every man's brother ; and enacts that whosoever shall shed maa'a blood shall have his blood shed by man. 7. He gire a reason fir the last enactment. 8. He repeats the 2nd. U. He covenants with them, and their seed after llirm, and with every living creature with them, that there shall not Ce another flood. 10. Hi) establishes a sign or token of this covenant between hint and the earth. I shall now pay some attention to the heads or items separately. J. Gk1 said it. We have no knowledge of God'a making anything, world, laws, covenants, or anything tle, any otherwise howsoever, (Amis by his word. God said let there be light, and there was light, is the way the I'.ililrt commences ; and it continues so throughout. God uaid these things to Noah and his sons and they were $0. But God said it not only to Noah, but to his sons also. The record states particularly that it was spoken to iNoah's sons as well as to him. This isditferent from God's peaking by Moses ; for by him he spoke to the children of j Israel, his elect nation, nis chosen people 1 hese constituted but a very small portion of the human family. In spanking to Noah and his sons, he spoke to lite whole post del urian human family, elect and non-elect, saint and sinner, the iJoUtor as well as Iiis chosen people; for Noah and his sons ninke just all that have existed since the flood, and that will exist until the next instruction of this earth, which will be by fire instead of water. If any are not Noah's sons, then this is not said to thtt.ri ; if ihey are, it j TV. .ill. J th lifh.f I Him .1 I ....... n -1 I INoaii is the lather of Hie post-deluvian world Adam is or the human family, and Abraham of faithful orconfidin. . . ...... c vi ,it? in'ai'uciuTiaii wi'iiu na 1 wish the reader to bear this fict in mind. It is important to the proper understanding of ihe obligations of this code. Tho Scriptures are (reauenllv misunderstood. inisipprehonded. and misapplied by not considering to whom they are addressed. God spoke to Adam and through him to the wfiole human family ; He spoke to Noah before the flood, and through him to Iho aute-dclu-vian world; He spoke to him and his sous after the flood, and through them to the wholts posl-deluvian world; II spoke to Abraham, and through him to his seed, both literal and spiritual ; IIa sxke lo Moses and through him to I'haraoh and the children ol Israel; He spok by his son to the lost sheep of the house uf lirael; and tli Mes.-inh, by his Apostles, speaks to the saints in Const, an. I uWo to all nations. Then in considering a promise, law, command, or precept through any of the abuse wie dm, w should consider to whom it is addressed in order to understand the extent of its application. What was said by Moses to the children of Isriel was not applicable to, or binding on, any other people ; nor was it applicable to, or binding on them any longer than they existed as the chosen and peculiar people of God for the peculiar purposes for which they were chosen, namely, tho committee of the Oracles of God, and Ihe depository of the promised seed. Then, when the seed came, they wero discharged and dissolved as a committee, and disbanded as the peculiar or chosen nation of God, because Ihe peculiar purpose f.T which they were chosen was done, etfected, aud completed. What was said to them was said because they were the peculiar people of ioJ, and lo keep them so. When they were no longer that people, what was siiid to them, as that people, to keep thetn so, was no longer binding ; it died with their dissolution, from the well known maxim that was as true then as now, and as true now as then, that when the reason of a law ceases to exist, the law itself ceases to erst. Hence Psut could truly say he " look it out ol the way, nailing it to his cross. I will give a single example to elucidate the principle of this maxim. Ik-cause God wanted them destroyed, he commanded ihe children of Israel to utterly destroy the Canaanites. This command when given was obligatory and binding on the children of Israel ; but when the Canaaniles were utterly destroy, ed Ih n this command ceased to be in force or obligatory upon the Israelites. But what was said to Noah and his sons, was said to them bremse they were the post-dcluvian world. Ther still are and will continue to be Ihe post-deluvian world until this earth shall be burned. From this I deduce an argument to prove tfiat the code given to Noah and his sons is slill in foice, unless it be found to be directly and erjriily rejaled. It is oot repealed by implication, for tho reasons above, given. 1 have not yet found a clause in the Diblc repealing it, or any part i f it. If my respondent or respondents, or any or eilbe.r of them, or any other person can find it, I shall be very happy to be pointed to it. But lt ti examine some of the oilier items of this code, and se if from them we can learn any thing further as to whether thw code is in f.rre, or not. Take the 52.1, Ihe cominind to be fruitful and multiply, &c. The 3d, imprinting the fear or man on the animal creation; and the 4th, granting the animal creation to man. Are they in force i or are they abrogated or repealed, either by imSee IsUh LV. 8-11, where the prilfv-irVe ij broadly laid rt.iwn tint ihe-H-oid that goes forth oot cf the m .uh i.f Cod, ti.ll not lelurn tnln him void, but th.t f h,l ateomplit h the this purposed, and prosper in that wheietu i was sent.

plication or express enactment? Do we not multiply and replenish the earth ? We dir, w here do we get authority to do it ? In the law of .Moses? 'Tis not there. In the the christian scriptures? 'Tis not liiere. If we do not derive llie authority for it in this Noachic code we aro doins it without authority hlttijetlier ! Hut we have author-

iiy f 1 it 111 tins t ode. Then one item of this code is still in furcc. Again, does (lie wliolc animal creation fenr man now, at this day ? Most assuredly they do, as every one's daily observation proves. This is a matter that comes up to the demonstratio of our senses. They fear man aa much now as ihey did the day after the giving of ibis law, or at any other lime between that and the present. Did they fear hint blor ? No. For they played with him in the garden of Eden J they all came to him in ihe ark without any apprehension ; and they lit upon his hand and were pulled into the ark during the fj.iod without fear. What put this fear into them then This word of God. And at the fear is still there, not this word of God stilt there mteo ? I opine it is. Then here is Mother item vf the code tlili in etistente. Ag .tits, does man at this day. I10IJ property in, and exercise domiiiion over the animal creation Where does he gl his authority lor it.' In the christian scriptures' No, he does not In the Jewish scriptures No. liul he does in the Noachic scriptures, and partially in the Adamic scriptures. Here is a third item then in force, as proved lo us daily by our senses and observation. Parsing to the L'tli and 10th items of the code, is the covenant against another flood still existing? or is it cancelled ? Does the sign of this covenant between God and the earth still exist ? When God "brings a cloud over the earth" is "ihe bow" ever "seen in the cloud" nowadays? Kvery child can tell you it is even so. Yes, it is as plainly and legibly so nt it wni the day after God so spov 10 Noah and Iiis tons. Thi$ fart cj the code is also then in life, being, and existence. I w ill now return :othe5lli item. This grants animal I ood to man. It was not before granted la him. He was restrained however, from eating blood with the flesh in enjoying this grant. Does man now eat animal food? He doe all the world over, Pagan, Hindoo, Jew, Turk and Christian. Do they get their authority for it from the christian scriptures? They do not; do they get it from the Jewish scriptures? they do not) for they are taken out of the way and nailed lo the cross of Christ. They allowed the eating of certain kinds of animal food only ; and pork, the chief animal food used in Christendom was excluded by that law) so that if that had nut been taken away, it would not have hren authority for l!ie practice or this country. Authority must then be got from this Noachic code, or we have none ; for none is found in tlu Adamic, Jewish, or Chrintian scriptures. Dot the restraining clause in this item was had Under considention 111 the tlifisiian college, and, (slightly modified,) it was declared to be in force and binding. And as it an belore decreed (hat what they bound on earth doubl be bound in heaven, it was so done; and this i" the IaM news we have from there on the n!jct. "For," ay Ibis college, "it seemed g'od to iho Holy Ghost and to us, lo lay upon you no greater burden than these neces sary things. That ye abstain fiom meats offered lo idols, and Iroui blond and fiom things strangled, and Irom for mention : front which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well" Acts, xv : 23, yj. The qui s'io.i submitted to thiscollrge waj, whether the venlile christian should be circumcised and keep the law of Moses. This question Ihey decide in the negative. 1'he law was given to the Jews alone for a particular purpose; that purpose was then accomplished; it never had lieo obligatory on ihe gentiles ; and thu inspired Peter hen s.irl that neither they nor their fathers had been able to bear it ; therefore, they declared that the gentile christians were not b"Uti'I to observe it. Tins was then a divinely authorized declaration announcing that the rite of circumcision given through Abraham, and the law given through Moses, were finished, abrogated, cancelled and annulled; but lest there might be a misapprehension which would run the gentile christians into error, they expressly say to them when giving their adjudication upon the questions propounded, that notwithstanding this is so as to circumcision and the law of Moses, yet there are "necessary things" for you to observe, w hich, as a matter of course, are nrctssary because they are also in some other law than that of Moses, which we are now declar ing is not oniigaiory upon you. 1 nis is wnai lawyers call excluding a conclusion. If nothing had been raid. the christians at Antioch might have concluded, as those w ho now take Ihe ground that this Noachic code is abro gated try to get us lo conclude, that as it had been declared that Ihe law of Moses, in w hich was incorporated some of the Noachic precepts, was not obligatory upon them, therefore as well that which Moses recorded as being given through rs nah, as all that was given through lum was repealed ; but to exclude that conclusion the college said that v bat was given to Noah and his sons, having always been obligatory on you gentiles astccll as the Jetcs, is still "necessary" the taking away of the law of Moses docs not take that away; and, having nu'hotity to do so, we modify it and say that you must not only abstain from blood,nnd from things strangled, flesh with the blood thereof, in the language of the Noachic rode but you f n - . -it n. . - must atistain from meats onerta 10 vtois 1 liese are "no cess irv things" notwithstanding the law of Moses is at an end. Why? Because being part of the law laid on Noah and bis sous, and you being of the sons of Noah are bound by it. Thus the latest mouth-pieces of God to man have au thoritatively said that this part of the .Yoachic code is still m force. SMick" pin there. Willi much regrel, I find that I cannot conclude this branch of the argument in this number. I will there fore desist. Very respectfully &c. S July 27,1817. For tke Indiana S'ate Sentinel. Honor to Hie Memory or the Illustrious Doad. Capt. John II. Roberts was favorably known by persons in various parts of the btate, as a high-mind ed, honorable, industrious nnd persevering legislator. lolitical demagocruism formed no part of tue man hence the gTeat exertions of whining politicians, whose souls are ensconced in erlf alone, to put him down. But little more than twelve months ago, when the clarion notes of war were first heard 1.1 our hap py land, Capt. Roberts was not one of those who stood with mouth hermetically sealed, awaiting to Fee whether or not the war would be popular ; no, it was enough for lum to know, that the country he loved. had hppn infilled hv an in&nlimw fun- tlmt Ainori !

The patriotism of the good citizens of old Putnam was aroused strung to the highest tension ; war speeches wer made by men of both great pol.ticul parties. (But now she mourns oh ! "how have the mighty f-illen !M Tell it not in Ind. ana, publish it not in the streets of Monterey, nor on the plains of ßuena Vista, nor on the heights of Cero Grdj.)

His ill health influence J many of Iii personal friends to doubt in his presence the propriety of his course, lie had but one response "I shall go ; I had as well die in defence of my country' rights nnd honor in Mexico, as any where else." It was even 6. The malaria of the Rio Grande bore heavily upon his shattered constitution, until, on the evening of the 19th of February last, he breathed no more, at Matamoras, Mexico. The Putnam Blue?, (gallant and generous spirits,) on rpiiilinjr the army, could not think of leaving the remains of their loved captain to the mercy of an insidious enemy, but contributed out of their scanly wanes to brin them back to his own endeared homeNew Maysville, where, on Monday the 12lh instant, a numerous concourse of people, variously estimated at from four to seven thousand, assembled. From the same 6tand, in the eame crove, upon the identical same spot w here many of Capt. Roberts's friends last saw him, laut heard him, in an energetic and patriotic address, recount his country's aggricvances, and call upon his fellow Citizens to defend her rights. Professor W. ijarrabce. delivered an eulogistic address, after which, the Putnam Blues, with the corse, and concourse, repaired to the vault; where to him whom we admired, was paid the last tribute of respect buried with military honors. Capt. Roberts possessed an abundant share of that warmth nnd radiance of soul, that pure and efluljent patriotism peculiar to his native State, (Kentucky.) He was generous to a ftult. He has left no wife to plant the evergreen, and moisten his grave with tears of affliction no eon to rear the sculptured monument in memory uf his many virtues and patriotism no dauh er to cultivate the twining ivy, and strew his grave with vernal flowers; yet many friends who loved him whilst living, and who will not f irjret their duty i.w he is dead.

We do not recollect ever to have seen a more forcible illustration of the tenacity with which the lust, of power is capable of seizing upon the mind, than the following, exhibited in the form of an Oriental parable : "A Grand Seignor caused his Vizier's arm to bo cut off, and proclaimed that the arm should be thrown up, and whoever caught it falling should succeed in the Vizier's place, but upon terms to be served the same as his predecessors, at the expiration of the year. When the crowd was come together to catch this arm, one man more diligeut and dexterous than the rest, caught it. Sj he was Vizier; and, at the year's end, his arm was cut off and thrown up as before, and he himself, with his left arm, caught it again, and after his second year hi left arm war cut off and thrown up, and he caught it with his mouth !

An army correspondent of the ;sew Orleans Delta writes : "I don't care what is eaid to the contrnry, some of the Mexican women are very pretty, and although the men are still very hostile, they are every day becoming more Americanized. The last word brings to mind & remark of General Twiggs. A short time after the occupation of Matamoras by our troops, the old General was standing on the piazza, and ßeeing a number of our volunteers promenading with a score of Senoritas, he turned to Lieutenant Britton and eaid: 'I wouldn't like to 6tortn thia, 20 years nence.

A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes that "Mr. John Q. Adams, jist before lie left tliig city, f,ir Massachusetts, held a conversation with a friend

of mine, on the subject of the Mexican war. He gave his views very freely, and in Bubtance they were that the war with Mexico would not end until the United States had conquered the whole of it. He believes that the matter had gone so far that it was no longer under the control c-f this government, and that our peopla would subjugate, acquire, appropriate and annex the wh'ile of .Mexico. It was his . . . S- . I II opinion moreover that iroin me war wouiu arise a militsrv futhiiiis:n in this country, leadai? the neoid to nr.f,.r military men all of elective ollice. He Was quite certain that, for years to come, all successful candidates for the presidency must be military men, connected with or grown out of the Mexican war." Col. Haskell, who has had the controversy with Gen. Pillow, is a ort of independent whig cand.date for Congress in Tennessee. He male a speech lately at Dresden, which is represented to have been decidedly rich. He said tiie only way to terminate the war was to plunder the houses, rob the churches, and burn down the towns and f jrtifications, as our army passes through the country. He declared the war unconstitutional, and no act of Congress could make it constitutional. He went for Gen. Taylor for President, whether he was whig or democrat, but says he, "I go for old Zack because be is a good whig, for I had a conversation with him on that subject, and he told tr.e that he was not only good vhig, but a quarler orer. Devices of tiie Old Thirteen States. It is said that when the first Congress met after the adoption of the Federal Constitution, it was contemplated, but afterwards abandoned, to have the seats of each delegation wrought with some device, descriptive of the staples of their several States, viz : Aew Hampshire to be represented by a pine tree Massachusetts by a barrel of fish ; Rhode Island a hamper of cheese; Connecticut an ox ; New York, a hogshead of flaxseed ; New Jer-ey, & bundle of flax ; Pennsylvania, a bag of wheat j Delaware, a bag of wool ; Maryland, pig and bar iron Virginia, a hogshead of tobacco; North Can-line, a barrel of tar; South Caro lina, a bag of cotton ; Georgia, a barrel of rice Great RAtx. Adams county (Miss.) wason Sun day last visited by one ot the heaviest rams ever known since 1SÜ4. So rapidly did it fall, that the w hole country was soon under water. Undoes and fences were washed away, cattle were drowned, the cotton and corn torn ur. The damage is said to be immense. Col. Ringham lost one of his best horses. Much valuable s'.oek was lost. Our informant states that the rain continued for three successive days, but j that the damage from the flood occurred principally : on Sundar ft-AN Indian Hung. In the Cherokee Nation, according to the Advocate of the 8th inst., Ta-ka-to-kali, an Indian of that Nation, convicted of the mtirdeiMif a woman at Ceatti-'s Prairie, was hung at the Court House in Delaware District, on the 2d inst., in the presence of a numerous concourse of people, who ",Ct to,Te lher witlicw t!lawful spectacle.

IQO-fSia SMITH'S lO.MU SUllf, For tlie Cure of Auc and Fever, Or Chilli and Fever. fffHE proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it St- a sue iority over all other remeJies ever ottered to the public for thetoe, certain, rptedy, and permanent cure of Ague and Fever, or Chill, and Fever. Heicfeis to the whole Western country to bear him testimony to the assertion that, in no case whatever will it tail to cure if tl.e directions are stiictly followed and carried out, and with this assurance he is fully prepared to warrant a cure in all forms whatever of Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever, w hether of short or lo'.g standing ; and a l persons selling it are hereby authorized to return the money to persons w ho mar have used it as directed, w hen it hall have lairlv tailed to care- In a erreat many I cases a single dose has been sutlicient for a core, and in several in stances a wi.oie lamiiy have been cured by a single Dottle wnn perfect restoration of the general heahh. " It is prudent in every case, and more espccia'ly iu those of long standing, to continue the use of this medicine for several days eitel the disease is checked. Most usually this medicine wi I require no aid to keep the bowels in good order ; should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a sin gleduse of Lee's or Cook's Pills, or any of the ordinary cathartics, will be sufficient This remedy has now been extensively used throughout the West and Southwest for the last seven years, and within that period has permanently cured over I'Otl.OOU cases, in all its varied fronts, many of w hich had been of from one to three years standing, and had resisted all the uual remedies -known in this country, and rn no case did this me.licine f.iil w here the directions w ere followed properly. Such is its invariatde success that a large number or rev spcctable practitioners of medicine, in various parts of the country, use and prescribe it in preference to Quinine and all other remedies. The pub ic are assured that it is not only certain in its effects as a Tonic, but being composed entirely of vegetable medicines, is perfectly innocent in any cases or circumstances, and mav be given to females, infants, and all persons of debilitated and delicate constitutions without the lean fear whatever of any unpleasant eflccL This medicine is com)osed of articles of the primest and purett qnality, and ii always made by the proprietor in person, after the established forms of pharmacy, (which cannot be said of the many Tonics now flooding the Western and Southwestern country,) and in this respect alone is rendered greatly superior to the remedies usually prepared and sold in the country. By its apeiient and powerful diaphoretic properties, added to its tonic qu&li ies.it is rendered eminently superior to Qnmiae and other remedies, as a general and popular Tonic in sll cases whatever, where Tonics are proper to be administered. The propiietor, therefore, would respectfully invite practitioners and the publks generally, to give it but a fair trial, and they will then be convinced of its great superiority over all other remedies now in us for the purposes specified. Persons living in districts of country subject to Ague and Fever, Chills and Fever, or Bilious Fevers, would do m i II to keep a supply of this valuable remedy always on hand, especially ii medical aid cannot be conveniently' had. The proprietor has now ia his possession hnndrrds of certificates of i s value, given hy persons who have used it, wiih many letters from merchants who have ol.i it la.gelr in their country," as eil as from many respectab e practitioners, who hsve used it iu preference to other remedies, attesting its value. .
