To Correspondents. Dr. J. L. B-, Woodbury, Indiana. The money was not received by us. Bellefontaine Railroad, Capital House, Ac. I Lcck. The editor of the Indiana Journal says, he was in luck on last Saturday by receiving two invitations, both of which he accepted. The first, a ride on the Bellefontaine Railroad, and the second, an invitation to dine at the " Capital House." He says, "if the dinner served up by Capt. Cain on that occasion is to be taken as a specimen, it will proTe to be a ' Capital House' in more sense than one." We received similar invitations, and would have been much pleased to have participated in the ride and the good things at the dinner, but we had made arrangements to go into the country to hear the candidates. We, however, were very pleasantly situated in the dinner line, as well as agreeably entertained by the candidates. Our old friend, Esq. Morrow, spread a most bountiful table, and we had the pleasure of dining with a larger number of candidates than on any previous occasion. They were a good-humored set of fellows, and appeared to enjoy the canvas3 very much. The old Governor shook his fat sides, and our old friend Maguire looked at least a foot taller. Chapman was the smallest man of the crowd, but we believe the most conspicuous, a3 he had a vord for every one. Major Morrison was busily engaged in expounding his views of the Constitution to the crowd in the grove, while we were attending to the comforts of the inner man, forgetting in the subject, that there was a dinner within fifty miles of him, although he seemed to look as if he wanted his dinner very much when he saw the candidates stealing off for the purpose. When we returned he was in the midst of his speech, General Hanna was in hi3 eye, and dinner out of his thoughts. The following is the Journal's account of the ride on the Bellefontaine Railroad : INDIANAPOLIS AND BeLLEFONTAINE ItOAD. On last Saturday afternoon a train of twelve cars, loaded with two hundred and twenty-five tons of Railroad iron, passed on this road about twelve miles. In company with a great many of our citizens we took passage on the occasion, and were well pleased with our trip. This read is constructed in the nwst durable and substantial manner, and with a rapidity beyond any thing within our knowledge. It will he completed to "Pendleton, a distance of twenty-six miles from this city, by the first day of next Oetotter. The remainder of the road will be completed at an early day. Oar Oiiio neighbors aro making cverv possible effort to complete their portion of the road to Bellefontaine bv the time we reach the Ohio State line. This done, and we have a route to N. York, by way of Lake Erie and the New York Railroads, that cannot fail attaching an immense travel, to say nothing of the business transportation it must secure. The rapid progress of this Road may well be referred to for the purpose of illustrating what can lie done by energy and perseverance, as few thought, when it was commenced, that, in so short a time, so much could be done. The New Administration. Millard Fillmore of New York is now President, made so by the dispensation of Divine Providence and the forms of the Constitution. He has selected a new Cabinet, who will be his Constitutional advisers. With their portfolios they will soon be at their posts, and their line of policy will be marked out. Mr. Fillmore is under no pledges. He is a whig, an old fashioned National Bank, High Tariff, and Internal Improvement whig a -ienry Clay whig and his friends say, a national whig, without the least alloy of abolitionism or freesoilism, and, we are inclined to believe such is his position. But we are not in possession of whig secrets, and are therefore unable to foreshadow his policy. We have no desire to do so. ' We shall make no factious opposition to the Administration, but shall approve such measures as we consider right, and disapprove those that are wrong. We shall judge the tree by its fruit; although we confess we do not expect it will bear fruit palatable to our taile. The democrats can truly say, "Blessed are they that do not expect any Hung, for they shall not be disappointed." .', fjrWe have received the proceedings of a public meeting in Franklin, denouncing Mr. Ketly the Mesrnerizer, as an impostor, 6'igned by a large number of citizens; al?o, a letter from Mr. Keely threatening all parties with the law if said proceedings are published. All crowded out for want of room.
Cannclton, Indiana.
By the politeness of Hamilton Smith, Esq., of Louisville, Kentucky, we have received a pamphlet of upwards of one hundred pages, entitled "Ca n nelton, Perry County, Indiana, at the intersection of t)u Eastern margin of the Illinois Coal Basin, by the Ohio River; its natural advantages as a site for manufacturing: "' Published by the American Cannel Coal Company. . .. The object of this publication is to give information in the manufacturing districts of New England and Europe, and to attract skill and capital to the Mineral District of Indiana. No Western State in the Union is better situated than Indiana for the profitable development of our mineral resources, and these, we believe, are but little understood, even by those who have made much research. Our immense coal-fields and iron mines will astonish, when further developed, even the most enthusiastic of our citizens. The location of Cannelton is a good one for manufacturing purposes, and it b luckily in the hands of enterprising citizens, who are determined to make it a great manufacturing city. In a few years from this Urne there will be Railroad facilities psssing to all parts of Indiana, and with Dur million of population now, and prospective increase more rapidly than ever before known, will justify large expenditures to supply even our State home consumption with manufactured articles- We hope the pamphlet will be attentively perused by those into whose hands it may fall, as great reliance should be placed upon the facts it exhibits. The New Cabinet confirmed.. The Washington Globe of Saturday evening last, the latest paper received direct from Washington, states, that the President sent into the Senate on that morning the following nominations, which were immediately acted upon, and all the gentlemen confirmed for the offices attached to their names : Daniel Webster, of Massachusetts, Secretary of State. Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury. William A. Graham, of North Carolina, Secretary of the Navy . Edward Bates, of Missouri, Secretary of War. .Nathan K. Hall, of New York,' Post'Master General. James A. Pe'arce, of Maryland, Secretary of the Interior. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky, Attorney General. - Thomas Corwin. In the division of spoils under the new Administration, the north-west gets the Secretary of the Treasury. To Thomas Corwin of Oliio has been given the keys of the strong box. The whigs generally regard this as a popular appointment, and one which will add strength to the Administration. He is in favor of the' most stringent and radical whig measures, and what will add to his popularity with the whigs, is the fact that he was the most violent and unscrupulous opponent of the Mexican war. When our patriotic soldiers were upholding the glorious flag of our country and pouring out their blood to sustain, unsullied, its stars and stripes, this same Thomas Corwin, in the Senate of the United States, was invoking the wrath of Heaven on their heads, and praying that the Mexicans, with bloody hands, might welcome them to hospitable graves. This infamous and anti-American speech was translated into the Spanish language and published in all the Mexican papers, to give encouragement to our enemies, and to show them that one man, in a high place, sympathized with them, and prayed for the indiscriminate slaughter of his own countrymen. President Fillmore, as a compliment to the north western States, has appointed him Secretary of the Treasury, and the Senate has confirmed his nomination. He was a member of that body, and it would have been indecorous to have rejected him. But we are gratified to say that Indiana can show clean hands in this transaction. Senator Bright, with his usual boldness and energy, denounced his appointment on the floor of the Senate, and both the Indiana Senators recorded their names against his confirmation. Letter of Senator Wbiteomb. The following letter of Governor Whitcomb to the editor of the National Era was published in that paper in June last : To ihz Editor oftht Xathnal Era: Sir On seeing the article in your last paper touching my course on the Senate's bill in relation to California and the Territories. I at first intended to correct the more material errors found in it, so far as the feeble state of mv health would permit, in a few remarks in my place, on the amendments to the bill then and now pendingbeforc the senate. I his I was unexpectedly pre vented from doing at the time I desired, and I now find it too late to finish lor publication, in your next number, a more extended notice ofthat article. To prevent, however, a wrong impression upon the public mind, I desire w ithout further delay, to say briefly through your paper, ana any ocner into wnicn your arucie may oe copieu, that you are in error in the statement that, I drew up, or even advised or sutriested fin conference with Gen. Foote or any other person) the amendment offered by Gov. fratt and adopted iy ii. uavis; in error, mate rially affecting tha sense ön the present controversy in the extracts from my message and letter; in error as to the alleged priority in time of Mr. Owen's letter to mine. and consequently as to all the inferences thence deduced and statements thereon trade: and in error as to the i i i . . r . l i motives wnicn inuucea me to voie lor raising me tora promise committee, as it has been termed, and against laying the bill reported from, that committee -upon the table. I am far from charging you with intentional in justice towards me in this matter, and I would even hope, especially at this distance ol time and place, as to some of the points involved, that none has existed on the part oi otners, tnrougn wnom you must nave acrivea your lniormauon. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, JAS. WHITCOMB. Washington City, June 4th, 1850. Central. Railroad. A writer well acquaiut ed with the subject, residing in the city of N. York, writes to his friend in this chy, under date of lGth of July, 1S50 " There is now every probability that the Indiana and Bellefontaine Road, from Gallion, Ohio, to your State line, will be built wilhout delay. They have recently negotiated, in this city, over h200,000 of county, bonds received by them for stock. Your entire Road to Pittsburgh will be done in 1851, or 1852.' ' , . .

The Galphin Cabinet.
, Congress, by an overwhelming vote", having con demned Crawford, Meredith, and Johnson; and the Richardson committee, who will soon report, having ferreted out numerous frauds on the Treasury, com mitted by Ewing, and the blundering diplomacy and the constant inebriation of Clayton, left no alterna tive with the new President but to dismiss them. But the most unfortunate of the whole batch are Messrs. Preston and Collamer, who were men of good character, and played well their part as whig ministers ; but they had to go, not because they had committed any offence, but because they were found in bad company. It would not do to contaminate the new Cabinet with the least taint of Galphinism. A sensible decision. We clip the following article from the New York Herald, a Taylor paper, written a few days before General Taylor's death: " But we are tired of the unpleasant duty of trscing the tortuous windings of the present Cabinet, from the time when they got" into office until the present. We might refer to a great many more of their misdeeds, but the truth is, the task is sickening. We could, if wo were inclined, dilate upon their successful eflorts to keep alive the agitation of the slavery question through personal motives, to their last movements in New Mexico, and to several other matters that reflect equal discredit on tnem. All wo wished or intended to do in this article, was to ' point a morol,' to show politicians or statesmen that when they prove themselves unfaithful to the trusts reposed in them that when they attempt to use their offices and their official influence to their own personal purposes and views, instead of to the good of their country and in good Faith towards those who have confided in them, they wJl, sooner or later, be found out, and tnat, sooner or later, retributive punishment will le inflictcd on them. As proof of what we assert, let us instance the present Cabinet. Long since having lost the confidence of the country and of their party, bein? con demned in the most public manner possible, that is, by the House of Representatives, as unworthy of the oltiecs they till as having prostituted their positions they are sunk so low that no one will do them reverence, and tho hope of all good men is, that their places will soon be vacated, in the confidence that it is unpossiblo to select a more imbecile, corrupt, or contemptible cabinet in every point or view than that which is now in n ash ington." Fourth of July Celebrations in Sonth Carolina. The fourth of July has ever been considered a day too hallowed for the breath of disunion to enter its precincts.. But such appears not to have been the case during the present month, in South Carolina. We have an account of three celebrations of the anniversary of American independence in the last Charleston Mercury just received at this office. The first is called the Three Mile Celebration in Barnwell District. The Mercury says, the Orator "not only recounted the deeds of our sires, but his effort was replete with stirring appeals to their sons, to gird up their loins for. a coming storm. The following are amongst tho regular toasts, which the Mercury says were duly honored: The Union Preserved and maintained in its original spirit, a fountain of blessing and glory; but perverted and controlled by the fanatics of the day, an instrument of wrong and tyranny alike oppressive and odious. The South Give us liberty and equality or give us death. The Constitution as adopted and expounded bv our sires a plain instrument made by plain men. If its provisions are to be trampled under foot, away with the Union. Tho Comnromise of Henrv Clay A virtual acknowl edcrement of Southern inferiority, cowardly surrender of Southern rights. Marion, Sumter, and Butler Some of the Game Cocks of the South that show the breed is not extinct; witness the fields of Cburubusco, Chcpultepec and Mexico. Another celebration was of the Prince William's troop. The Mercury says the Orator of the day " advocated the Nashville Platform because Southern honor was pledged to support it; but argued that its rejection by the North, if it would unite the South on the measure of separation, would more surely advance our true interests and the safety of our institu tions. He maintained the necessity of slavery to the permanence of a Republican Government." The following are some of the regular toasts: The Compromise An image of brass with feet of Clay. . - - . The Nashville Convention True to their trust; the South will stand on their platform. African Slavery The last stronghold of conservatism without it Republicanism is but Monocracy. , . Funeral of President Taylor. This was the most magnificent pageant the country every witnessed. In brilliancy and cost it equalled the most imposing ceremonies oyer the remains of royalty. The expenses are said to have cost over one hundred thousand dollars. A large sum to bury a plain republican President. The following ex tract is from the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, a whig; and as the whole pageant was got up and managed by the whig office holders, we have no doubt of its correctness. We do not publish the article in the illiberal spirit of complaint; but to show the people of Indiana, and especially the whigs, the respect that was paid to the remain. of their distinguished head : ' COST OF THE FUNERAL. When it is remembered that the pall of the coffin alone was ornamented with eight of these, Eagles? some idea of tlu- cost of the whole arrangement may be lormed Tho coif! n cannot have cost less than live hundred dot lars ; and the expenditure on the East Room alone, must have cost at least a thousand dollars From a hurried estimate, I do not hesitate to venture over one hundred thousand dollar as tho cost, direct and collateral, of this pageant, including, of course, tha removal of the remains to Louisiana.' This may seem large, until the nature of the case is considered. Of course, I include the expenditures at all tue forts, arsenals, etc. ttanspor. tation of troops to and fro, &c., &c The telegraphic bills alone of the Government will amouut to hundreds of dollar, a great number of dispatches having been sent after office hours and at extra rates accordingly. The item of glazed muslin used in this city at Government expense, would astonish many people if aware of its cost. Twenty thousand yards at least have been used. All the hacks in this city were engaged at five dollars apiece, &c., toe. " President Bonaparte The Washington Globe, in its summary of Foreign news, says that tho President of the French Republic has carried his point in the raatler of raising his salary, which, is now 3,600,00.) francs, equal to S675,000 per annum, or about 1,S75 per diem, being about Iwcnty-sevcn times the salary of. the President of the United States. .What services Prince Louis can render for this enormous sum, squeezed from a wretched and starving peasantry, and drawn from an exhausted Treasury, we do not know, but cannot believe that there is anything like , a quid pro quo. General Washington served his couutry as its President eight years for $200,000. Louis Napoleon, at his salary, would receivejXor ths same time, 5,400,ooo:: "
Washington Correspondence
Washington .City, July 19, 1S50. Cabinet making to a raw hand like President Fill more, is a troublesome business. Materials are plenty, but the selection must be made from the great mass presented, of uniform texture, so that the beauty and harmony of the work, when put together, may not be marred. The whig party is so split up, and divided into cliques and factions, that it is difficult to find seven wise men among them, who, in policy and counsel will be a unit. One thing is settled : The old cabinet, and their hangers on and depend ants, will all have to walk Spanish. President Fillmore desired them to retain their places for a month, to enable him to consult his friends, and make proper selections. This they refused; thinking thereby to force him fi once to re-appoint them. Unfortunately for them, but fortunately for the country, Mr. Fill more was not to be driven from his fixed determination to wash his hands of Galphinism. Their resignations were accepted and they retire next Monday. Peace to their ashes ! They have had a short but merry life. . They have danced but the people have paid the fiddler. Now, a word for Millard Fillmore, who occupies the white bouse", and sleeps in old Zack's bed, which is said about this time to be a thorny couch. He is a stout, robust, fine looking man, fifty years of äge, in the enjoyment of good health. A decided radical; but I do not think a very proscriptive whig. His administration will be whig, out and out; no democrat need flatter himself that there will be any thing Tylerish in it. Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and such old school whigs will be his private advisers. Seward, and his abolition, higher-law followers will make war on him. There will be no free soil abolitionism in Ids cabinet no Wilmot, as Webster says. " He will recommend the settlement of the slavery question upon the principles recommended by Mr. Clay; and, mark my word for it, in six months from this time such a tiling as a Wilmot proviso whig cannot be found in the country. They will follow the course of Truman Smith, who says he has always been for the President's plan, and he is now for the President's plan. Barnum of the New York Museum, who collects all sorts of curiosities, is here, and offers a large premium for a Fillmore whig who is in favor of the Proviso; but I understand will not be able to find such a one among the office seekers in Waslungton. , Webster, I think, will be made Secretary of State. He being the head, all the remaining members will be of the same stamp. Then will commence the war of the roses. . The omnibus bill is still under consideration in the Senate. I think it will be defeated. The Nashville Convention having made the Missouri Compromise their ultimatum, several timid southern Senators have withdrawn their support, and will vote against it. The enemies who have been delaying the measure, are now pressing for a vote, for fear the influence of President Fillmore may secure its passage. Webster made a most powerful and eloquent speech in favor of the bill, on yesterday, in which he, with great force, characterized the motley, mongrel opposition, made up and led on by abolitionists and disunionists. Gen. Foote made tolay one of his happiest efforts, in which he denounced the southern disunionists in no measured terms, and from this time, henceforth, he has declared war against them. - This brought out his gallant colleague, Col. Davis, who uttered strong disunion sentimentsopposed every tiling but the Missouri compromise and the express establishment of slavery south of that line, and. avowed his willingness to fight for southern rights. Foote is fighting a gallant battle, but he will be defeated. The next session of the Legislature will instruct him out of his seat in the Senate, unless he unites with his colleagues in favor of disunion. Mississippi is a disunion State, and I regret to say that the sentiment is increasing. They admit the evils of disunion, but say it is better than an eternal and never ending quarrel, and that the loss of their slave property would bankrupt them. God only knows where this matter i3 to end. Unless it is managed with a master hand, Millard Fillmore will be the last President of this great, united, and once happy Republic. XAVIER. Matters n't Washington. The correspondent of the New York Journal of Commerce of the 19th inst. states that Mr. Fillmore will have a Cabinet that will, after the settlement of the territorial question, give rise to little opposition, except what is merely of a political character. . They will take the old Whig platform, and unite as far as possible the old whig party. ' . The Compromise bill is lingering in the Senate, from a gradual consumption. Mr. King and Mr. Berrien both declared to-day, that they should not vote for it as it is. All the amendments talked of have been rejected. Mr. Clay evidently gives up the bill, and hopes that some Senator, more fortunate than himself, will take up the subject and propose another plan. . He will address the Senate on Monday, and as soon as the bill is definitely disposed of, he leaves the Senate, at least for a time, on account of his health. He will go to the sea shore. - . They Crow too Soont The Whigs had better give it up. Their bragging will do them no good. ' We have only to set Jenks, of the Lafayette Courier, at them. He can do them up cither in prose or poetry. His poetry, however, generally has truth in it. He says: a- " Tho fact of the maf'Jr is; that the people's verdict is already made tip, and there is not a single candidate on tho wfiig ticket of whom it cannot with truth be said, . ' He'd better resign and savo expense, For his hide's already on the fence.' " There is no disunion between the thoughts, the words, and act ions of the good ; all agree . .

BY TELEGRAPH. " From the Madinon Papers. 1 Washington, July 23, 8 P. M. . The conclusion of yesterday's Senate report did not reach here until after midnight. Mr. Clay said in conclusion that the fate of the measure was now in the hands of some five or six Senators, whose votes were not absolutely certain on either side perhaps it would be defeated. It would he a triumph of abolitionism and free-soil. . Mr. Clay concluded with an eloquent adjuration in favor of peace and harmony in the Union The Senate then adjourned. . House. Mr. Featherston introduced a bill for the regulation of the payment of interest on claims against the U. States, and preventing those engaged in the late department from acting as claimants against the Government; referred to the Judiciary Committee.

The question pending leing upon Mr. Foote's amend ment, providing that California shall not attempt to ex ercise jurisdiction over the country south of 35 30 until the question of establithing a territorial government in that country shall have been submitted to the people. Mr. Turney moved to amend the amendment so as to authorize California, when she shall have thus reduced her boundaries, to assemble in convention and lorm a State constitution. Mr. Clay expressed the hope that the amendment would be voted down without debate. The question being taken, Mr. Turncy's amendment was rejected yeas zü nays Jo. Mr. Davis, of Miss., moved to amend the amendment Mr. Yulce suggested that the words "null and void' be substituted for repeal. Mr Foote contended that tue Southern address intended to put such a construction upon the doctrine of non intervention as he had contended for and as the bill pre sented. Mr. Yulee addressed the Senate at some length against the bill. Mr. Foote responded in a tone of sarcasm. -Yulee replied and Foote rejoined. ' After some further debate, the amendment of Mr. Da vis was reiected. When on motion the further consideration- of the bill was postponed until to-morrow. Several Senators gave notice of amendments, after which the Senate adjourned. Norfolk, July 23. The steamer Vixen, from Savannah, arrived here yes terday. .

IFor the Sute Senünel. The Union. BY MRS. SABAH T. BOLTON. The Ukios It must V? preserved. Asoxrw Jacksox. Dissolto the Union! let the blush of shame Hide, with its crimson glow, the brazen cheek Of hira who dares avow the traitorous aim, T is not the true, the wise, the good, who speak Words of such fearful import ; btrt the weak, Drunk with fanaticism's poisonous wincy And reckless of the future, madly seek : To hold their saturnalia at the shrine
That noble souls have held, and still must hold divine. Dissolve the Union! madmen, would ye rend The glorious motto from our country's crest f Would ye despoil the stars and stripes, that lend ' Home, food, protection to the world's opprest f Have ye no reverence for the high bequest That our immortal sires bestowed erewhile? Has sin defaced the image God imprest On your humanity, that ve could smile To see. the lurid flames of Freedom's funeral pile t Dissolve the Union ? in the day, the hour Ye rend the blood-cemented tie in twain, The fearful cloud of civil war will Iowct, O'er every old blue hill and sunny plain, From torrid Mexico to frigid Maine. And men will arm, and strange, new banners wave And pallid women look on kindred slain; Brothers will battle, and the life-blooJ lave The thresholds, noble sires and husbands died to save. Dissolve the Union ? no, ye cannot part, With idle words, the blessed ties that bind In one, the interests ofthat mighty heart That treasures up the hopes of all mankind. Awhile, perchance, tho blind may lead the blind : And men may follow phosphorescent light, From beaten paths to qnagnures, ere they find The ray that shone, so beautiful and bright, Was but a phantom-lure to deeper, darker night. Dissolve the Union ! never; ye may sow The seeds of vile dissension o'er the land, That men may reap in sorrow; ye may show Tho world your disregard of all its grand Eternal interests ; but a noble band Of patriots, tried and true, will still remain, With heart to heart and sinewy hand to hand, To guard, from foul dishonor's cankering stain The jewels God has shrined in Freedom's holy fane. Dissolve the Union ! no, destroy jhc page That gives to human sight the hideous scrawl ; Let not the freemen, of a future age, , Read these detested words ; they would recall Shame, madness, imbecility, and all That mars the noon-tide glory of our1 time. ' True to the undivided, stand or fall ; To waver now. is little less than crimeTo battle for the right is glorious, is sublime. Indianapolis, July 1SÖ0 . . A Jew's Opinion of Judas. Major Noah, in his Sunday Times, gives some weekly explanations and expoundings of the scriptures. In his latest issue be speaks of Judas Iscariot to show that the wickedness of that arch traitor is not generally understood. He tells us that Jesus was not betrayed to the Jews, as is generally supposed, but to the Roman authorities, who were in search of him and knew him not. The Sanhedrim of Jerusalem (as illustrious a body as our Senate, and as quarrelsome too,) could not be supposed to have paid the paltry sum of "thirty pieces of silver" to betray Jesus, when they knew Mm well, for he was in the daily habit of expounding his doctrines in the temple, on the mountains, and in the valleys? He never concealed himself: he was not an obscure person. Why should the Jews pay for betraying him? When the Roman soldiers were sevt to arrest him by Pontius Pilate, not knowing wliich of the twelve apostles was accused, they agreed to pay Judas thirty pieces of silver if he would point Jam out. The arx)stles were all poor men, though Judas was belter off than the rest, having some means. Being socialists, and having but one purse, Judas was a kind of treasurer, and kept the money. Ho was mean and avaricious, as we have a right to believe for his rebuking Mary for expending three hundred pence for a box of spikenard to annoint the feet of Jesus. Besides, Jesus and all his apostles were Jews, and by the Jewiih law no bribe could be offered as a price of blood, and particularly by ths Sanhedrim, the true exponents of the law. It was a Roman bribe to designate the person; but it was entirely unnecessary, lor when the tjfficers arrived, Jesus said with the utmost frankness "If ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, I am he." There was no necessity for betraying him or selling him ; for he had no concealments, and always had predicted the event. The meanness of Judas was templed by the offer,and he pointed him out. Although it is distinctly and clearly said in the .New Teslament that tho priests bargained with Judas and gave him, upon hij own offer, thirty pieces of silver to betray Jes'us, yet we think the tradition will one day sustain us in the declaration, that the offer was made to the Roman authorities, who granted to the Jews the warrant for his arrest, and paid Judas for finding him out. There was not a Jew in Jerusalem who did not know him, and did not almost daily hear him preach. v The writings of the apostles were memorandums of events in their times, subsequently enlarged, mo--dified and amplified by the early fathers of the church. They wanted to make a wron case against the Jews, and adopted this version of Laving paid the tlurty pieces of silver, ' instead of the ruling power of those times, the Romans. To betray, there must be concealment. Nothing was easier than for Jesus to have escaped the arrest, trial and condemnation, had he been so inclined; but ho rather courted the result than evaded it. Consequently there was a motive in the Romans offering to pay Judas for designating him in the crowd, but none for the Jews incurring the expense.
