To satisfy our readers tliat we have suf-fered irreparably by these tracts, and con-pir ing and hypocritical friends- and allies, we will make a few quotations.

BRtixnia RrptET: i TJawiUing to appear to any one opposing

an institutionjjrithont an adequate c a u ^ , r submit to yoa some of the dealings and doings of these Agents, alias Colporteurs, which are pi rrormed "behmd the curtain."

Our suspidims were first aroused by a conversation, some six years since, with one of these Colporteurs, who warmly beset us for our narrow contracted christian charity, as exhibited by our views of Close Com-munion, and he expatiated eloquently of the beautiea of the opposite practice—the liberality of Pedobapliats.

These suspicions, that all might not be right, were confirmed by a resolution pass-ed by the Greenbrier jAssociation, Va., sume three or four years smce, of which the folbwing is a copy:

"SsctxaiAs Tbacts.—The following pre-amble and resolution are from the Minutes of the Greenbrier Association. The fol-lowing preamble and resolution were offer-ed by L. A . Alderson, and after some dis-cussion, in which, by invitation, the Rev. Mr. Dmsmore of the Presbyterian Church participated, were unanimously adopted:

"Whebsas, some works and papers of a sectarian ciarader, as published by the Massachusetts Sunday School Union^ have been circulated by agents of the American Tract Society, contrary to one of the fun-damental principles of this institution; and whereas we feel undiminished interest m this Society, and fear that the circulation of the above mentioned publications may prove injurioua to the best interests of the American. Tract Society^ in some sections of our cotmtry; therefore be it

"Resolved, That we request the Super-intendanis of colportage in Virginia to dis-continue the circulation of any Sectarian

publications that may be received by dona-tion, or cthermse, by the American Tract Society.

" O n motion, the Clerk was requested to furnish the above preamble and resolution fur publication in the Beligious Herald.

H. J . C H A M ) L E R . Clerk of the Association."

Here we find the colporteurs of the Tract Society detected in surreptitiously putting into circulation, as they pass over the ru-ral districts, where they are less liable to detection and exposure, "works and papers of a sectarian character," and they must have done this pretty extensively, to com-mand the attention and action of a Virginia Association. What confidence can we place in such agents?

But another question of some interest arises. By whose instructions did they do this work? B j whose advice, if they had no positire instructions? Did they violate any instruction? Would they have pre-sumed to have engaged in this work, with-out the consent and pleasure of the men in power, who worked the wires behind the curtain? Where did they obtain their books? Through whom did they receive them? From what treasury were the funds drawn? Who amirHmied therai

We next heard of these tracts out West, some eighteen months since; and the fol-lowing article appeared in the Watchman of the Prairiea, Chicago, 111.

neighbotiood in this State a Sabbath School T ^ organiied on union principles, all denominations participating. The ma-jority of the supporters of the school be-ing BaptiStar a donation of books for their library was received from Kew England, among which were some half a dozen copies of a blue covered pamphlet, entitled "Zion's Watchman, in four parts. By seferal Cler-gymen." These pamphlets came-nnder the eye of the Baptisi mmister, who' took one of them and represented to the Superinten-dant the impropriety of mtroducing into the Ubrary of a ITnion ScTiooI a scurrilous at-tack upon the Baptists. He supposed, of course, that hia wishes would be complied with; but he afterwards discovered that the remaining copies went mto the library.— The one which he retained has fallen into m y hands, xnd I propose to give the read-ers of the Watchman a few specimens of the matter and maimer of this Union Sun-day School Library hook."

Here the writer makes some quotations, and adds:

Here is infant baptism or damnation for both parent and child ! !

Ukotiiek Graves : \ We herewith present you witli an ac-I c-ount of the debate which has just closed j at this place, between Messrs. S. H. Bundy j and J. L. Cluipman, by which the cause of j truth has been crowned with one of the

most signal triumphs ever acllie^ ed in West I Tennessee. I On Wednesdsy tlie 3=1 inst., Mr. Chap-

Page 26. "Another kind of opposition Satan has made, was by raising up the sect of Anabaptists. They began about four or five years after the Reformation, <fec., this is tlie origin of the present Baptists."

If there ever was a system embracing more false sentiments than the Baptists, it has not made its appearance in this part of the heritage of the Lord." p. 20.

"The Baptist Church originated, or was planted in apostacy. The first Baptist Church planted in America, was by an apostate—a man who aposUdzed from the iaith of the gospel, from the faith of Abra ham, Moses, and Saints of old." p. 40.

'Dr. Cox, of England, whose writing® have poisoned many in this country, was sd apostate, as he boasts himself.

Chapter II. " J o h n ' s Baptism shown to be Cliristian."

It is important that this propo.sition should be carefully studied by every lover of the truth, and especially that Baptists should be familiar with all the arguments sustain-ing it—for Pedobaptists know that if tliey admit John 's baptism to be christian, they strike a blow, at infant sprinkling ; and hence the tremendous efforts they are ma-king all over the land, from the press and pulpit, to invahdate " John 's baptism."

hulies, I cannot find language to express.

I can only say, Uod bless them and prosper

their noble efforts; but, brother Graves, I

fear the school is not yet properly appreci-

ated. as it should be, and I fear there is a

little too much lethargy among the Trus-

tees—much is effected by appearances and

display, and it is laudable when the objects

merit ft, as d o « that. The present bmld-

ing and lot needs many hnprovemenU for

convenience and ornament that would not

cost much, yet it is important, it is necessa-

ry, and should be done. I know nothing

of the state of then- funds, but 5 e interest

of the Insdtution demands it—the interest

of Winchester will be greatly promoted by

it, and the citizens should come forward tol

its aid—and hist, but not the least, the high

character of the President and Professors
