    Man in cme hand , wiiilst with the other lie is brandishing the whip over his affrighted Slaves ? y Surely the period is approaching when an infinitely kind and universally benignant Providence will hear the shrill cries ,

    and avenge the astounding wrongs , of suffering humanity . Prophecy , lifting up the hallowed veil of futurity , hath announced the cessation of this great evil under the sun , and signally desolating will be its annihilation . " Alas , alas , that great city , Babylon , that

    mighty city ! for in one hour is thy judgment come . And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her ; for no man buyeth her merchandise any more : the merchandise of gold , and silver , and precious stones , and of pearls , and fine linen , and purple , and silk , and scarlet , and

    all thyine wood , and all manner vessels of ivory , and all manner vessels of most precious wood , and of brass , and iron , and marble , and cinnamon , and odours , and ointments , and frankincense , and wine , and oil , and fine flour , and wheat , and beasts , and sheep , and horses , and chariots , and slaves , and souls of men . And the fruits that

    thy soul lusted after are departed from thee , and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee , and thou shult find them no more at all . " Rev . xviii . 10—14 . " Verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth . " Psa . lviii . 11 .

    To conclude . I am aware , Mr . Editor , that your Missellany circulates throughout the United States of America . To the better and more intelligent portion of their population , these animadversions will not prove unwelcome . The existence among

    them of societies for the abolition of Slavery attests the somidest feelings of their hearts . Even the Supreme Being , it was surmised by one of my Transatlantic correspondents , had avenged the cause of humanity by the

    destruction , through fire , of the farfamed Orphan House in Georgia , erected by the benevolent George Whitfield , the institution having drawn their finances from the iniquitous tratFie of human flesh i Your

    American Critic , sagacious and liberal , supposes that his remarks , at the distance of three thousand miles , on your diversified pages are acceptable to the readers of the Repository . He is

    right , and I thank him for them . But he and his countrymen wil | , I trust in return , accept in good part this communication , unceremoniously written on this side of the water , and honestly designed for their amendment

    I am an admirer of their government and of their country ; the former suited to the bold and unshackled genius of a rising people ; the latter presenting , on the grandest scale , to the astonished eye the beauties of nature in an endless variety . For nearly

    half a century the stately Vessel of Republicanism has , like Noah ' s ark , rode " proudly tilting o ' er the waves , " holding within its capacious bosom a multitudinous class of human beings gathered from the four corners of the earth ! Those that sit at the helm

    will recollect the conduct of the navigators who flung overboard the disobedient Jewish prophet to save themselves from destruction . Thus casting from among them the accursed burden of Slavery , they also may weather

    the storms which might at any future period arise to darken their horizon , and eventually bid defiance to the world . I am no political economist , but the wisdom of the serpent , blended with the innocence of the dovey is the adamantine basis of individual aad national prosperity . J . EVANS .

    Sir , OME persons have expressed sur-Sprise at the late attempt on the part of a celebrated writer to separate Paul from Jesus ; but it is well known to readers of theology that this is no

    new thing . The same experiment upon the public mind was tried upon the Continent a century ago , and this was not an original freak . Some Christians have always mistaken the character of the apostle ,, and viewed him , on that account , with jealousy ; l ) Ut there is no Unbeliever that can help

    wishing to overthrow his authority , for he was a convert , a proselytist , a witness to Christ , and ( which is more unacceptable to the majority of Unbelievers ) a reformer who reduced Christianity to its designed simplicity , and thus rendered it unassailable .
