Saturday Morning March 22. Thk Times. We have taken a peep into the times, and must confess that they look rather "squally;" but, the pressure being mostly confined to the cities, its influence is scarcely felt here
vet, tho' in due season we must expect to experience our part of the general ruin. Nor do we conceive it a very difficult task to show how the first shock has fallen where we have placed it, and why we must look for a brush in turn. The firmer is the last man in the wot Id who experiences the difficulties arising from a change in the circulating medium; because, having disposed of his produce and received the proceeds, it at once passes from hi? notice, and he is left in entire ignorance as to whence the purchase monej was obtained or how it is to be replaced But the produce merchant?, those great opeiators of the cities, are the men who are jeopardised by the transaction, if indeed ny jeopardy shall ensue. Jnducedand persuaded hs it were, b) th'j m.uij and fascinating facilities afforded by the Banks, mii.y have embarked in extensive and tlattering fields of speculation, fir beyond the limits of
their own capital have had their notes discounted for, or negotiated bills covering, large amounts, and applied the s uns th'is raised to the purchasing of produce, in the full and sanguine expectation that the same facilities which supplied the means for their embarking, would futnish those necessary for the safe progress and winding up of the whole concert.. But here they have been disappointed the very doors that were once open and soliciting the priviltdge of discounting their paper, have by a change of events been closed upon them, and they have not only been refused any further accommodation, but hive actually been called on at a time when they least expected it to refund the amount they had already drawn. The same policy in the banking system having been adopted at the com
mercial cities on the seaboard, previous
to the arrival ot the shipments made i.- i i i
r.?rr, pc ji universal cnccK to com
mercial transactions, struck a deadly
chill upon the money market, produced
a consequent decline in the produce market, and embarrassment, distress,
and bankruptcy have unavoidably made up th sequel. Mercantile transactions have been conducted on the same principles and under the same patronage, and nf course have shared the same fate. It plain to be seen, then, that the Banks have been the means of bringing about all the distress of which we have heard so much the Banks, institution of which we have never given our views,
but whose changes and instability of
policy have ever been the source of
much evil, and must continue to be until experience shall have taught us a
lesson, and wisdom projected a plan belter adapted to our convenience and
necessities, and unattended with so much
haztard but more of this anon.
For the Jiising Sun.
Mi. t.niTOR: Having noticed in your last number a letter addressed to me by the Rev. W. Lewis. I take the
same method of calling on your readers to recollect that h admitted I gave the true, title pageto the third and fourth editions of A. Campbell's publication of the New Testament ; and if this truth were the cause of "discredit" must he lint have been in error somewhere? Again, if we oppose each other on account of the truth he admitted I told, is he not opposing truth! This seems as evident to me, as that a doctor of divinity will obey a call to $600 per annum rather than $400. His letter contains a violent attack
on Mr. C. for daring to publish a translation of the New Testament. 1 truly am hurt to see a man (calling himself a minister of Jesus Christ.) making light and detracting the religious character of one whose talents and literary acquirements, to say the least of them, as far exceeds Mr. L's, as his does a common English scholar; and this he does apparently with delight. What manner of fpirit must pervade his breast! Before A. Campbell published his
first edition, he issued a prospectus of
wnich the following is a faithful extract
"There is also one improvement of
considerable importance winch ought to be made in this work, and to which we shall attend. Sundry terms are not
translated into English, but adopted into those translations from long usage.Those
terms are occasionally translated into
English by Campbell and Mr.K night;
nui noi aiwas. e snail unitormly
giva them the meaning which thev have
affixed to them, whenever they occur,
and thus make this a pure Lnglish New
Testament, not mingled with Greek
ij4 either adopted or anglicised
j But m doing this, tee shall not depart in
i any instance from the meaning n-huh they
i naze aeciarea inose zcoras to convey.
You see there is one promie of great importance in italics in this quotation. Now let us see if Campbell and McKnight will sustain A. Campbell's publication: George Campbell's dissertations, vol. 2, p. 23, reads thus "We have deserted the Greek names where the Latins have deserted them, and have adopted them where the Latins have adopted them. Hence we say circumcision, and not pcritomy; and we do not say immersion, but baptism. Yet when the language furnishes us with materials for a version so exact and analogical, such a version conveys the sense more perspicuously than a foreign name. For this reason, I should think the word immersion (which, though of Latin origin, is an english noun, regularly formed from the verb, to immerse.) a better Englis name than baptism, were we now at liberty to make a choice." This is not a tythc of O. Campbell's testimony who is a prespytpri k; iocTOR one of those "distinguihed men' named by Mr. L. confessing to the world as far as his works have gone, that were he at liberty, he should prefer the word irnmcnion. He savs vol. 4, p. 12S
"The primitive signification of baptism is immersion.'''
Now let us hear McKnight who is so
copious on tins subject. As 1 aim at
brevity I shall make but a small ex
tract tiom him which fully expresses
lis views of the whole matter, on i.
Peter, iii, 21. He after a long and able
discourse speaks (bus "So, by giving
persom immersed is baptized? Most certainly. But do all the christian world agree that sprinkling is baptism? No, fir from it" then it follows the publication named gives the sense of all Christendom rather than a part, hence not sectarian, this being so evident I fear not the judgment of every scholar and reader. Mr. L"s course of reasoning appears fallacious. Thus, "do you not receive A. C's testament, and do yon not advocate the very system of A. C," &c. "and do, and do you," and then very
sagely informs me i must be content to
be called a " Campbellite;" and why, because he has proved I ought to be j by two or three formidable do's. If
the reception of a testament proves the receiver an ile, Mr. L. is a king James-
ile, which should destroy the confidence of the people in him.
L hen comes his able and candid ver
sion, ot which I will venture to assert, one person in ten without the aid of a clergyman is unable to give the modern
Ingush of the 1st verse, 8th chapter,
2( Corinthians. Why "candid and able
Because revised agreeably to the London divines. It then follows, that all
previous editions were uncandii and
unwise, vvnyf liecause they were not
revised by the rabbies of the present
dav. This has been a great curse truly
on our forefathers for the last two hun
dred years.
In his public exhibition, he said the
vampoellites ' had a spurious version,
and to make good this assertion, he re
fers to the 1st edition. Now, what is
the result? He fails to prove any per
son has the 1st edition, but Inmselt.
During the past week several failures have occurred, some of considerable importance. The money pressure appears to be gaining ground, and unless some speedy relief is afforded, we must expect other and much larger failures. lb.

part to prove.) lie then supposes some !
thing more necessary to become one of
them, than having a borrowed copy of
A. C s testament in his house. What
an awkward pedicament he now is in.
lie surely could not have believed his
first assertion, or he does not now really j
suppose what he says he does either
side of his own "ditch he maylake or
plunge right in the centre.
lie has been informed a watery pro
cess was an indispcnsible pre-requisite.
Does not the superstition of some per
sons prove tins to him frequently, in re-
tism, we show alike faith in God's prom
ise, sec. Again, "As the preserving of Noah alive during the nine months
he was in the flood, is an emblem of
the preservation of the souls of belie
vers, while in the state of the dead; so,
the preserving believers alive, while buried in the water of baptism, is a prefi- . C a I ...
gu ration oi me same events; once
more, "the death of the sinner it prefigures by the burying of the baptized person in the water."
Now from the above quotations it is evident A. Campbell has faithfully giv
en the translation proposed in the pros- j ference to his own church? How many
pectus and that the alterations, on the
subject of baptism, are authorised by
Doctors Campbell and McKnight and
if Mr. Lewis will quarrel with the
translation, he ought to vent his spleen on the Presbyterian Doctors, as the con
troversy lie between him :od them.

John Calvin, Just. lib. c. xv, sect. 1 9,
declares, "The very word baptising $q
nifies to dip; and it is certain that the
rite ot dipping was oDserveu ot tne an-
C1ENT CHURCH.
Now this "galling fire" is from Mr.
L's own guns and who can stand their
calibre? From such a battery I feel
myself able to hurl such truths as must make their camp quake and tremble to
its very centre, for that modern rite of
sprinkling, and sound their retreat, leav
ing me proclaiming among the wound
ed, that for this word we have the ablest
Presbytctian translators' testimony. Yes
I can triumphantly appeal to it as pro

Mr. L. says he "affirmed and still af
firms," his evidence rests in assertions, every reader knows it is much easier
for him to make one hundred assertions than to prove one probability true. Now
what he lacks in logic, in evidence, and
in facts,he compensates by reiteration
W hen proof is absent, or argument
fails, this has usually been the resort of
the orthodoxy. Better things (pardon
my presumption in speaking so plain of
a Presbyterian Teacher) were expect
ed from him as a rererm I astor. " 1 lie
on"e awe inspiring presence of clergy
men, has, in a great measure, ceased to operate on the mind of men. Their
learned nonsense will no longer be re

times command implicit belief, hence
evidence should be given. lie has

Doctors Jennings, Ralston, McCalla, and the able writer he names ("Doctor Cleland,") whose departure from truth
has caused his exposure.
Mr. L. asks me why so "nettled" and
then another assertion.'thus, "A. C's

which pmves. nothing for him about the
first. Win out upon all the editions?
Bi: cause. A. C. upon the authority of J
I resiy terians, gave the Lnglish of bap-
tisma. And wherever this obtains it is
in vain for him lo persuade people that
rantism is baptism, or if you will have it in English, that sprinkling is immer
sion.
Mr. L's adopted poetry is more like
the production of a Payne or a Voltaire
than a meek disciple of the Redeemer.
It should start a blush on every Chris
tian's cheek. If he can adopt such lan
guage, be his character for piety what
it may, he need have no such fears as
he pretends to have about the blood of
any bang required at his hands, unless
it be such productions as lead the un
wary astray.
It is my impression Mr. L. had much
better have let the New Testament
alone and employed his time in teach
ing his brethren the scriptures. One

From the Louisiana Adv. of March 3. Post Office Department. It is
known, we presume, that the mechanics and Traders Bank of this city, is
the depository of the post office depart
ment. On Saturday, three dratts of twelve thousand dollars each, were presented at the Bank from the department
and two of them protested, there being
no funds to their credit in that institution. One of twelve thousand dollars
was paid, being two thousand more than the balance appearing in the books in favor of the department. Under the old system, before the deposites were taken from the U. S. Bank, these things- never occurred, because the Bank being the sole deposi
tory, made it a point always to horior
the draft of the Government.

I love lo see the bloom of youth In robes of beauty clad, I love to see a heart of truth That never can be sad, I love to see the young and free Unite in playful mirth; But hate to see hypocrisy Fill any place on earth. I love to see the meads at noon Drink in the copious showers, I love to see the rose-tree bloom And bend beneath its flow'rs; But hate to see a noble mind. Well train'd in wisdom's r-chool, Compelled to bow and cower to The dictates of a fool. I love the garb that virtue wears, Pure as the driven snow, I love the heart that ne'er dispaira Tho' on the rack of woe; But O.I hate the harden'd wretch That womans fame would soil The villain who would dare to stretch His pow'r o'er such dear spoil. 1 love to see the oaken tree Its noble branches bear, I love to see true majesty Respected ev'ry where; But hate to see the rugged thorn In rosy bowers reared, And hate to see a heart of scorn Admired or revered. I love to see the op'ning spring Her lovely mantle throw, 1 love to see each living thing Its native colors show, But, then, of all dislikes that now Upon my senses throng, The very worst of all, I vow, Is the deceitful tongue. I love to see the creeping vine That under foot is found Since high in air it cannot tw ine 'Tis glad it has the ground; But, O, I hate the hellish plot
That Envy would employ, To take away from others, what Itself can not enjoy. 1 even love the turtle-bug Though humble in its sphere, It "lives to nature" though it tug And seem to suffer here, Yret in its proper place it moves, Nor ever aims to rise And suck the honey from the groves Or wing above the skies. Now, 'm a little pinching-bug And crawl upon the ground, Or in my hole lie snugly, while The cold winds howl around; I envy not the prouder state That other bugs enjoy, But humbly live and bear my fate With peace and inward joy. But often has it been my lot To see some meaner bug, In envy, lay some hellish plot, And puff and blow and tug To undermine, its betters and Ascend to higher fame, As though a bug by any plan Might ever change its name. And oft I thought of reprimand, But then it seem'd but vain, For silly bugs are saucy bugs, And seldom care for shame; And so I let them pass along, Each after his own way, While 1 in sleep or merry song Pass'd off the cheerful day. But when, perchance, in passing by These rovers lost their way,
And blindly ventured on, or nigh Where 1 was wont to lay I thought it was a duty then, To chasten them outright; For whether bugs or whether men, Let ev'ry thing go right. PlNCHING-BUG.
