Campbell's testament as ihe work of
Presbyterians. A. Campbell has mutilated i he. work of George Campbell, James M' Knight and Philip Doddridge, until it i no longer theirs. He now admits that his later editions have "various EMKXD VTIOXS." Honest SOlll! llC did not know there were "various f.mexdatioxs" in tb.e first and seeond editions. And some of las followers begin fo find that men of sense can not be duped bv an appeal to a counterfeit, version of the scriptures, and thev admit that Mr. Campbell has not given thr identical rcork of (he original translators.
jThev are now absolutely compelled to
jtake. tins ground. ,ot able to stand ! before tl e galling fire of truth, thev
are sounding a "ret real" from their favorite fortification whence thev have
long been hurling their poisoned missiles at the unwary. Dace wc could hear
nothing but" Presbyterian translation.'
Now, Mr. Campbell has made "various emendations." I have some valuable testimony on this point, which recently came to me in a letter of more than six formidable pages of foolscap, embracing topics too many and hvr even to be named al
thi time, and discussed with ability if
net unparalleled, at least unmatched. I will make a short but fiithful extract. After copying the title-page of the third ft . . . j 1 lit

A word concerning your ogie to prove me a Campbellite: 1 hadalwayssupposed that something more was necessary in order to become one of the privileged fraternity than merely to have in his house, a borrowed copy of A. Campbell's testament. I have been informed that a certain xcatcry process was an indispensable prc-requi site for initiation that, before one can be recognized as a brother, he must "Dive like wild fowl for salvation And fish to catch regeneration." This process, friend Craft, I have not yet submitted to; and, if my previous instructions be correct, I am no Campbellite, your logic notwithstanding. With respect toy our complaint about "castigation in the pulpit," I can reply in the language of your brother of this place, in the "big' letter referred to above: I "have never interfered with y ou more than w as absolutely necessary in obey ing that high command, contend earnestly for the faith formerly delivered unto the saints."' Against you and your brethren I have no enmity. I respect you as citizen, and my sincere wishes are for your happiness in this world and the next. But as you hold sentiments which I believe are at
war with the Holy Scriptures, it i mv
duty, as a minister of Jesus Christ, lo

For the Rising Sim.
Mr. Editor, I saw a few week since, a communication in your paper,
signed "Sigmv," on w hich I had an oc
casion to make a few remarks by way of animadversion: in so doing I did
not mean "-j ni'ikchim contemptible " .as
he says I ihd; but I did it with a per
fect good feeding; hoping, at the s um time, that there, would be a fair inves
ligation of the subject, which he had
Kemalurelv broached. But in this, it
lppear, that there w ill be a disappoint
Sigma ha found some difiieultie
io hi exploring xpedition, and has re-
uriH'd home, yvheie his talent ;ir vented to play, and there la: will man
ige hi vi sm I. pel hap, van v well. H
responded lo my communication, will
many bitter vituperations, dcnunci.i
lion and threats; then he renounces
the prineip'o upon w hich he lirst stin t
ed. To which I have thought it cxne-
... o i dient to reply.
He commence hi communication by stating, that "It must be known thai I no where in any way found fault with our linguage, or broached the foolish idea of a change in it. That w hal f lulled wa not the language, but thai now generally used system of grammar, by which it is taught." " Ami it i quite unaccountable to me, how any
one could suppose something was ne
cessary to he done, to sustain the repu
tMinn of a language, when nothing had
been said to degrade it." Now Mr. Sigma used almost eveiy invective against the principles of our language, and then has denied it. He rcim- to think that I can not perceive the difference between language and grammar. Hear him in his second communication: viz. "Grammar (the principles of our vernacular language.) ha become almost peculiar in degradation."' Suppose we give the definition of the form Grvmmvr. Grammar is Ihe science of speaking correctly. But he leaves lam nuage and inveighs grammar. L. nouvge. is Ihe sty le which one human being uses lo communicate hi ideas, wants, &c. lo another. All political, religious and civil associations, have certain law and restrictions by which they arc governed, and which are indispensably necessary for their better internal regulations. There are many languages in Europe, all of which have fallen on certain words .as communicative of ideas, which we call language, and Miey have furthermore fallen on a book which they call the grammar, which embodies the principles and philosophy of these languages, for putting the words together, etc. which must agrc with their language and obtain their sanction. The grammar of these languages can not he changed without a corresponding change in the language. We have adopted one which is denominated the English language it ought to he American language. and have a grammar to it, which is in perfect concordance with the language, and one tan not be touched without doing injury to the other. " No one Iruth ever controverts another Iruth." Really Sigma is like a evlender on a pivot, touch it on one end .and if w ill fly up at the other. He says he has said nothing
derogatory lo our language, and I have
proven by his verbatim quotations that
he ha.
He says, "to insinuate false ortho
graphy would be. ciime. that must not be done." This "must not be done'''' is very strong language. He must have
sharpened his pen very much. He must remember that he is not now acting I'F.nvcocicvLLY, but defending vain theoiies against practice and utility. These circumstances are Ihe oidv causes I can assign for hi bitterness and ill nature. He will find the same train of reasoning (with ;i few exceptions) used in ins second communication, in " Brown's appeal to Ihe English language."' This was the cause of my denominating him a plagiarist. This' I insist is a proper name for an individual who hakes matter from others and puts if in his own language criticism and defence. There is no plagiarism in his it is PURELY ORIGINAL. He thinks that I have acted very improperly in exposing some of his patch ....1-. 1...1 j i i. l. . i . i
"ui ii lauuu 1 1 ui ne neipeu. ne say s, " I would not be guilt v of so mean a thing on any account." Yes, let him tell the tale, and view me tl. tough his pedagogical goggles and he will have it right. But I feel gratified that lie is
not my judge.
In his third communication, he savs. .
"I have nothing to do with indi vidiin!
persons or institutions." Now I will
prove him to be incorrect. 1st. Be

amine some ol his tangible stu!i, he flew into a most violent rage, and discharged h is most violent artillery against him

has something fo do with an individual institution. I will now conclude, by hoping him belter success in producing a system of grammar b-j'tcr adapted to our understanding, and by which we can communicate our idea? with more perspicuity and clearness. As he has said a great deal about il, he ought to give, at least, an account of its fundamental principles. Will Mr. Sigma let us know how many parts of spcci fi his system, of grammar "rouNonn in thi: na rvm: cf things, has? Will he give us a definition of those p.ai Is of speech, FOUNDED
in the nati-reof TiiiNc? To shape the
question more explicitly. I would re
pectlully request him to give us the
quintessence of his grammar, and bv i. ...... i . , .
