meat . We quote Phil. 2, § ; "Ho humbled

himself ami became obedient unto death, even tho death of the cross;" also, Tit. 2, 14: "Who gave himself for us;" and Hob. 9, 14 : "Who, through tho eternal spirit ottered him-self without spot to God."

Question—On what does the atone­ment depend f Does the atonement by Christ, our Lord, depend on the single net of His death on the cross, or on His agony in the garden, or on both, or on His entire life and death 'i The latter part of this question we re­gard as speculative; yet, as a matter of opinion, wo believe that so much of His entire words and works here as is made a matter oi divine record and revelation, was neoossary to tho ac­complishment of the grand design of His earthly mission. But did His di­vinity suffer with His humanity ? This is speculative also. For, if His incarnation, humiliation, deep degra­dation and poverty be proporly re­garded as part of His meritorious suf­ferings, thon His divinity suffered. But if the meritorious suffering was only in pain, distress, or anguish, then we cannot, for a moment, suppose that Doity did or could suffer; certainly, not in a way to limit His happinoss, for Ho is, and must be, "God blessed forever."

Without depending on these specu­lations, we proceed to state that tho atonement depends on the offering" and the Sufferings of Christ, and these two ideas need not, yea, they cannot be separated. For, in connection with a sacrifice, there is, necessarily, the idea of suffering. For, not Only does the victim suffer, as a beast or bird when its blood is shed, but tho one who makes the offering suffers tho diminu­tion of his ostate. As when he sacri­fices a sheep or an ox, he is, in that aot, made the poorer by the price and value Of his offering. Also the time and labor required and- expense incur­red In bringing, slaying and dressing the offering, and In seeing it burn, all add to the cost which he suffers. Be­sides, there is, on the other hand, in connection with the idea of religious sufferings, the idea of sacrifice or an offering devoted to God and His oause. So we say those two ideas, the offering and the sufferings of Christ, are insep­arably connected with the subject be­fore us. Besides, tliero are three things whioh belong to this subject that are inseparable from it, namely: the altar, tho Priest, and the offering. Tho altar is by no means incidental, but is essential. 'For, it is "the altar that sanotifteth tlto gift." So that the altar is not only necessary, bnt the greater of the two necessary things. Accordingly, our Lord demands of the Jews "whioh is greater, the gift or the altar whioh sanotifteth the gift r" The rational answer is the altar, whioh sanctifies, is greater than the gift whioh is sanctified by it.

As we say of tho altar, so we say the Priest is absolutely essential to the efficacy of the sacrifice. And ev­ery prayer offered to God, in the name of Christ, has a priesthood connected with it. fivery child that prays to the Father of all good, yea, that sweet babe of yours whioh sincerely prat­tled "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep," was as verily, in that act, a Priest under the gospel, as were the sons of Aaron, or as was Aaron himself under the law. And the ohuroh of God, in its membership and ministry, is constitu-

— w ted both "Kings and Priests unto God," or unto Christ "and His Fifth-ent" 'Aid the. apostle in enumerating the honorable titles whioh belong to the church, calls her not only «a holy nation," but "a royal priesthood, a pe­culiar people." So that the Priest and the »ltar are, of necessity, united, and so if the offering united with both. Anflf to bo availing, the offering must b e « costly one. So David, "neither will I offer unto the Lord of that whioh doth cost me nothing," 2 Sam., Hi iM i »nd as in 1 Chron., -2*, 24, he insisted on paying "the full prio*» of the property which he was: to devote as a hurst offering to the Lord, Da­vid's offering, at the price of "slxhun-dred shejrtes of gold," was not dear when, placed beside the interests in­volved. lfBut Abraham's son, his only son an.ij.heir hjwhpm his "name" was to "beciilod;" HI whom w*« concen­trated his hopes of the Lord's Messi­ah,, was .ja. very considerable offering, certainly,, But what wore both of these tojjhe offering of Himself, on our account,/'opce for all," by the suffer­ing son of God ? So we have the do.o-trine of .sacrifice in a sacred triplet, eaoh an^ »U, namely : the altar, tho Priest, and tho gift, essential to an available offering; and certainly oaoh and all must therefore be necessary to one that is meritorious.

We proceed to say that the offering and the sufferings of Christ are both necessary and voluntary. They are necessary to the end proposed whioh could not,bo otherwise accomplished. For, "thus it is written, and thus it behopyed Christ to suffer, and to rise again the third day." Ami again— "ought not Christ to have suffered those things, and to enter into His glory?"'

Tho voluntary clement }s no loss necessary than tho sufferings. For. what offering, religious or otherwise, oould be acceptable, as such, without this quality ? "He humbled Himsolf, gavo HinisQlf, offered Himself," all whioh, apd many other Scriptures, show, molt clearly, that tho offering, in Christ, made for us, is, to all intents, a free will offering. To tho great poiut of all, that is, how our great Sa­vior suffered meritoriously for us—He suffered in His humanity, on the altar of His divinity. This was necessary—-first, to the fitness of the offering; sec­ondly, It VTCO vijitnlly- .u.«».««Vj. lull , .

sufficiency. First, fjhen, tho fitness. To Adam,

as the representative of all humanity, it was threatened as a penalty, "in tho day thou oatest thereof, thou shalt surely die." This part of tho divine law is otherwise translated "dying thou shalt die." Now this penalty could not be endured but by the death of humanity, and so Christ must suffer in our vory nature, that Ho might suf­fer in our very stead. ' Hence, when it is said "a body bast thou prepared me," it must be a human body that is so prepared; and when it is said "Thou shalt make his soul an ottering for sin," and "niy soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death," it must be a human soul. In all tho essential per-feetions of our naturo He must be hu­man or one oif us. Now sin was never a necessary quality of our nature, but an ercrcsoence. But He was a perfect specimen of pure humanity, being our second Adam. "For as much then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, Hevalso himself took' part of the same? "For verily, He took not on Him the naturo of angels, but He took on Him the seed of Abraham." Otherwise rendered, "He taketh not ti'pld on aiigeU, but He taketh hold on 'the seed Bf AbraWtn;" But if there wasonly'll single passage' on this sub-Jt'ct ih'tht"6ible, that phe might settle the Ouerf̂ pti df OMsW .'humanity'. Hob. 2, i f : "Wherefore1 .n all things it behooved Him to made like unto IBs brethren, thai Ho1 might be amor-Ciful arid'faithful high Priost in things pertaining'to G6d, to make reconcilia­tion for tfi'e Sin's1 of the people.* The Incarnation and the sufferings of Christ as a representative human 'offering, was therefore 6f absolute necessity to the^tne*** of the offering presented as a sacrifice'' for uf through the Holy Ghost. "As the presence of humanity in the person and offering of Christ was indisjrensahlo to the appropriate­ness of the offering, so was divinity indispensable to its power. For His divinity ill the altar which uphold hu­manity1 under its sufferings, and stamp­ed them,' tl.e sufferings, with infinite value as 1 meritorious offering. Hu­manity and evory creature owo all their powers to the Creator, and there­fore oan alone be no substitute for an­other j feV'they can do, and be, and suffer for the Creator no more than their duty.

David Millard, a Unitarian (Chris­tian)' author; and a leading spirit among them, more than thirty years ago, maintained, in a talented publica­tion, that the person of Christ had but one nature, and that a divine na­ture,* and he maintained that that di­vine nature wits distinct and separate from the Father, oven as much, HO HH any human son is a separate being from hi* luman father, .^maintaining what we ifcetil'd cull <Wo Gotta or a family ot̂ Cro'da; W y ^ t i n g of Father and Son,) and hiiialso maintained that

as a divine being late siifle^ed and was offered'up fbr our redemption. Now we ask, on what altar was divinity of­fered, if offered t . Should it be Said on tho cross, then, (as the altar sano-tifieth the gift,) it would follow that ft wooden cross Sanctified a divine of­fering, than which nothing oould bo more absurd ? Besides, where is the fitness in the offering and sufferings of divinity in the piaoe of humanity ? And how oan that theory be true any way? If the gift was divine there qould be no altar superior to it to sanctify i t ; consequently there could bo no suck offering Over presented, as

'our Christian friends maintain'. As thbaiearirtjot lnrJtdent^l bfii bsteta-tial to an acceptable offering, conse­quently an altarlcss offering (such'as that of this Class of Unitarians) must

: bo only imaginary, not by any moans a reality. Tho truo theory views in tho person of Christ tho unity of Priest, altar and offering. He was the Priest, for He made the offering ; and Ho was the gift, for Himself was offer­ed ; and l ie was "the altar whioh sanc-tifieth the gift;" for "Bis arm brought salvation to Him, and Ms power sus­tained Him" in His oonflict with death and hell. Such is tho atoning sacrifice offered for our redemption.

As Christ, our Lord, bccqro.es our all-sufficient Redeemer, so is l i e a fit mediator. Fbr by His divinity l ie is ablo to appreciate the inalienable claims of the diyine law, in all its pu­rity and power. And through hu­manity Ho can sympathize with us in all our infirmities, yea, in bur extremi­ties and necessities. So Ho is the "day's man betweon us," tfyat is, bo-tweon the Father ahd us, "who can lay His hand upon us both j " and be­ing so intimatoly related to the par-tics at varianco Ho is the one to medi-ato a reconciliation. "By His human­ity we approach to God, and by His divinity God approaches to us."

We closo by adding tho sinner is now without excuse. There is accom­plished for him every necossary work, and there is offered him every neces­sary help. A. PECK.

"If anybody is so obtuse, or so wrong-headed as to see nothing great iji Goneral Grant beyond his marvel­ous tenaoity of will, lot that doubtor explain, if he can, how it lias happen­ed that, sinco Grant rose to high com­mand, this quality has always boon exerted in oonspiouous energy precise­ly at tho point on whioh everything in his whole sphere of operations hinged. There has beon no display of great qualities on small occasions ; no ex­penditure of herculean effort to ac­complish objects not of the first mag­nitude. It is only a very clear-sightod and vory comprehensive mind that could always thus havo laid the whole emphasis of an indomitable soul so preoisely on the emphatic place. How if ho bo not a goneral of tho first or­der of intollect,"as"' well as tho most heroic determination, doos it happen that in assigning great and brilliant parts to his subordinate commanders, he has n'ev|er^ When tlio results of his strategy wore fully unfolded, appeared in tno picture except as the central figure ? However it may soom during the progress of any of his great com­bined campaigns, it always turns out at last, when it reaches that complete­ness and finish in which he contrives to havo his campaigns end, that we Bee him standing Ma' the' foreground, and that the grouping h* always such that the glory': of the Other generals instead of eclipsing his own gives it additional lustre. It is this surenose of judgment whioh sees preoisely where lies the turning point; which sees precisely what are the object* that justify the utmost stretch of per­sistence; it is this ability to take iu the whole field of view in just per­spective and due subordination of parts, that is the mark of a' superior mind. General Grant has takou out of the hands of all critics the ques­tion whether it belongs to him. He has won his greatest triumph,over the most skillful and accomplished general on the other side; oyer a general who foiled him long enough to prove his great mastery of tho art of war, and the completeness of whoso defeat is a testimony to Grant's genius such as a victory over any other general of the Confederacy, or even an earlier victory oyer Lee himsolf could not have giv­en. Apply to General Grant what test yon will; measure him by the magnitude of the obstacles he has sur­mounted, by the value of the positions he has gained, by tho fame of the an­tagonist Oyer whom he has triumphed, by the achievements of his most illus­trious cb/-workers,by the surenesB with whioh ho directs his indomitable ener­g y tbthe vital point whioh is the key W aVasi field of operations, or by that supreme test of consummate abil­ity, the absolute completeness of his results, and he vindicates his claim to stand next after Napoleon and Wel­lington, among the great soldiore of this contury, if not equal to tho latter.

Wash ington Conresponden|oe.:

WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 27,1808.

Although Congress is not in session many things conspire to make Wash­ington a centre toward which the American people are looking Iwith doep interest. For here rcsidos a trai­tor president clothed with foarfulpow-or, and bent on all tho mischief he oan accomplish with safety to his neck.-— Here, also, dwell tho men who loom-pose his Cabinet, most of them rone-gades from tho oanso of liberty and progress, aad facile tools of their de­praved master; crowding their respec­tive departments here, and filling* fod-dcral offices all over the Union, as far as they are ablo to do so, with 'out­spoken, active secessionists, or timid sypathisers with rebellion. This, also, is tho headquarters of Major General Hancook, upon whom the rebels Here boldly and confidently state, the pres­ident can safely rely for aid, if lie should have the pluck to attempt1 to carry out any part of the programme of his rebel friendB to prevent the eleo-tion or inauguration of General Grant. Here live, also, two of the Blairs, fa­ther and brother of tho candidate of the rebels for tho Vice-presidency.— Tlio three Blairs, all-powerful with the President, arc, perhaps, tho most dan­gerous enemies to human progress on this Continent. They are able, reso­lute, prcsistcut, unscrupulous, selfish plotters, ready at any moment, 'for their own ambitious, mercenary1 or revengeful purposes, to plunge their country into another war for the dis­ruption of tho Union and tho re-cstab-lishmetat of Slavery.

Perhaps Congress understands the country's needs better than outsiders do ; but I cannot help thinking that it would be fearfully unwise to give An­drew Johnson an opportunity to exer­cise all tho doubtful powers of his of­fice, unchecked by the legislative branch of tlio Government, betwien this and eloction day. And so think nine-tenth of all the loyal men from the Southern States with whom I have convesred lately. They say that if a quorum of Congsess does not con­vene in September, and make provis­ions, should they take another recess, for re-assembling shortly after, so that Andrew Johnson and his rebel frioiids will see that they are to be closely watched until election day, mostj it not all the Southern States will bo jost to the Republican party. Persuasion, falsehood, intimidation, force and wliolesale murder, if necessary, will be used to kcop tho negroes and white Unionists from the polls. Tho loaders of tho rebel party in tho South iare cduoatcd, and well experienced in party politics; they are the landhold­ers of |the country and the employers of tho cities. Their rank and file are disciplined and desperate, and arc taught to believe that the election of Seymour and Blair will secure to the South, peacefully, that which it failed to achieve by rebellion—independ­ence.

If Congress should meet in Septem­ber, hold a session of a few days and adjourn over to December, and An­drew Johnson should think propar, during the adjournment, to manipu­late the army and otherwise use litis official station for tho purpose of ob­structing tho operation of the Recon­struction Laws and facilitating the lawless, murderous schemes of.tho re­bels to drivo or keep Union men froiin tho polls, what would ho havo to fear'? What wonld he care about impeach­ment after the election of Seymour any lilair—his own term of.oflico aboul to expire in March ? . He knows that there would not bo time to try him, even if the will existed Ho knows that there would bo quite enough for loyal men to do in preparing to resist tho certain onslaught on the State Governments of the South and the iut tegrity of tho Union by the incomingj rebel administration, without mourn-| ing over dead issues, oryingoyer «p.Utl

•milk, and frittering, away time in a profitless endeavor to punish a mori­bund enemy.

It is unnecessary to ju»y that what I havo written abo,ve is fromitho stand­point pf- a, lwrg«.!Wqpprfion/>f South­ern loyalists who.are anxious for Con­gress IJO conyono in September and re-main.jp^essiea, «nt# a^s/yefcotipi, and who insist, that the vote of their section will bo lost to the,Hop.ublioan party unless this b%do»e, t f -£ , (.

Notwithstanding the opinion of the Attorney General that Commissiqner Rollins cannot be removfd/bf |*jhe President until his successor is con­firmed .by the Senate, tremendous pf-forts, are being made to worry Mr. Rollins into au unconditional resigna­tion. But he remains- firm, and it is to be hoped that after having submit­ted so letig to every variety of morti­fication and misrepresentation, he will not abandon bis post until, after the November election. I know it is ask­ing a good deal ,of him;, for he has had muoh more to contend against during his connection with the John­son administration than ever Mr. Stanton had, and has suffered/muoh more in his feelings. . \

Tho administration lias more than once counived at tho circulation of re­ports, or permitted them to pass un­contradicted, gotten up by influential members of tho Whisky Ring, politi­cal friends of the President, hinting at Mr Rollins' complicity with frauds which lie had reported time and again to the Seoretary of the Treasury, and on which that officer had refused or neglected to take, action, booauso of the prommenoe" in tho Demooratlo party of the persons aoouscd, and their professed friendship for the Pres­ident. Some of these stories were so specious and plausible, and were so cunningly passed round, that cVcn good Republicans who did not know Mr. Rollins personally were often do-ooiyod by them for a ti<no.

BKWA-RK or JEALOI-HT.—In Pitts* burg, recently, a jealous husband, with a view of verifying rumors of his wife's unfaithfulness, followed her slyly as she started Out fbr an evening ramblo, until she reached a bluff over­looking the river, where she seated herself, and, presently, to tho bor-ror and indignation of the husband, she was joined by a man who familiarly took a seiit close to her. In the un­certain light he could not distinguish the features of either.
