To tho Ilditor of Pn----a P0111% DEAR S111.—Although the battio will bo fought and won by one of tho two para. s to the question as nos b fora too boforo thie can appear in your paper, It will still be r. live question to the candid 01111 reflecting on mottoes of soh importance, and by way of eply to my reviewers re. spouting tho exewasivo ago and tolultera. tion of !Immo or wines, and in order to roach the root of the evil to afoot, a ouro a different spirit and, if possible, more knowledge than is displayed by somo people most be brought; to boor on this subject. For tho intormation of Mr. Buyers, who cannot am the comparison betwemi Miming horitios and Hoot Aat, I would say they both co re pond to the 5,1010 111111 10 the mind; there spirit and purpose is the sumo, viz. ; The salvation of humanity from ne.ral ea amitios, anti time by taking the liborty to give liberty tho rent is mac worse. Thoy thought that by beteading the horitics gospel troth wound bo susoained, as now some think that by behontling the liquor. t•on- poranota will bo smoothed. Wo will learn by oxperience that the lettor, as wo have learned of the former, is to be 0 moral mistake. In ammo! to 1.1114 script's 0 leforouces, which is only beating about the bush for something extol:nal to re- generate humanity, I would say, It is beginning to ditwil on the mind that a man desiring to repent (that is desiring to oeaso to do evil) ought to look to the Lord soone. If ho looks up to God the Father only 100 oannot be purified ; nor if to tlio Father for tho sake of tho Son ; nor if to tho Son es a man only ; foe there is but one God, and the Lord. Josue (theist; is He, for His divine and human are one porsoo, " Ito is tho fullness of the Godhead," (the Trinity. in unity in one poison). As is shown on the Gospel, • that everyone desiring to repent might look to the Lord alone. Tho Holy Supper was imitated by Hilo, which confirms it, because in that sapper or cotumunion every one is kept looking to the Lord alone.

It is first tho natural then the spiritual that Divine love and wisdom is accommodated or revealed to the finite mind, and through the veil of the matelot the spiritual is seen as the soul of truth, "the Truth," and understood by their correspondent to ouch othor.

From 19 o'clock Tuesdat to tho •ame hour Wednesday the House remained in session without 0 recess.

No motions wow being mado, no business suggested. The two sides wore watching eaoh othor. Oc- caoionally some more wakeful mother would make a jocular remark to arouse his fellows. No sweeping had been done and the carpels and cloaks were strewn with papers and litter. Representatives and employees had to feed during the twoutylour hours on the uncerteon faro of the restaurant. During the night the temper of the hlouso veried from serious to playful, from jocular to angry, and bask again through the changes. When members were brought in under arrest by the Sergeant.at-arros and had to make excuses they all had some fun. Hatch, McMillin, Sprinoer, or Stono, of Keotooky, were in the chair most of tho timo, Carlisle leaving at 11 o'clock last night and returning this morning. Dur- ing the night some members platod esrds 50 committee rooms to keep awake. The frac bridge celebration WednesSay commemorates a notable event in the eity's history.
