The first thing that onght to enlist enquiry is} W bat is tne Unparaonaoie bid: bou the'neit thing is, can it be committed at the present timer fh. It is not very easy to give fa a few ?}* .. Words what seems to be the teachings fV . of God's word on this point. We, get; .a very good idea of it, however, from the definition which is given of it in }b *N%tubers, 16: 80. The individual who in this jpaSeage, is represented as pi&oioe himself beyond the pale of hope, is said to do " aught presumptuously," To sin presumptuously, two things at J least are requisite. There must be a clear knowledge of the i&w of God and ; malice of heart. Phut, whilst in his unconverted state had the latter requi- ' site, but nofrrbe'first. He hated (Jurist and all his follower^ but he did it ig-. norantly. . . Peter, when he dottled the Saviour with oursing, had knowledge but not 1 malice. Be was convinced that Jesus 1 Christ was the true Messiah, still be ' denied with aooath, that ho kuew him. 1 There was, however, no malice in his * mu. rL e 1 Heart. JL UU ICSI W luau n?o a ouaiw iu which be wai entangled. The denial came not from bis heart. Paul sinned iu ( ignorance and Peter without malice. If ( J " Paul hid been blessed with the know!- 1 fci of Peter ?,or Peter had the malica f &>^t??Wr?piai|edopoo thein. In th'c*3ftb 1 ih^Ster atp 30th verse of the gospel * t' m^ordiog.to Matthew, our Saviour * charges the Pharisees with being guilty * ct an unpardonable blasphemy. "Ail ' manner of ain and blasphemy," says 1 the Saviotr, "ahall be forgiven uuto I men; bnt the btos^hetay of tho Holy. I Ghost shitl hot be forgiven unto men." 1 Fh>m tbe context we learn thai the. ' particular afefc of the Pharisees rtsferrdd ' to was raying that Jesils oast out devils f by BedSebufe tho prince of devils.? 1 B^tlelUb was an opprobrious name ( applied M the worst and most despica- 1 bit of toe evil spirits. Beeliebub was ? the got of flies, of filth and of all thiogs 1 in themselves regarded abominable.? ? Tic Pharisees made Jensna the subject oftbis vile and polluted demon; and by I sodoing, are charged with sin against t the Holy Ghost, which is the unpardon- I 'aho siu. If we kiiew what it is to sio agiinst tbe Holy Ghost, we would at ( owe know what the unpardonable siu ( is The office of the Holy Ghost is to 1 * edighten the understanding and to ] produce convictions and conversions in t tte heart. The spirit by which the < Siviour worked miraeles, and cast out dfrils, healed the sick, made those who hal been lame to walk, restored sight to the blind, raised the dead, and contrilled winds and waves was the Holy XJhost Therefore, when the Pharisees 'cbargtd our Saviour of being leagued ^ with Beelzebub, it was a direct and igcaveiusnlt to the spirit of all grace. The stn of the Pharisees was a fixed deternination to reject Christ Jesus in the fa-'C of any and all evidence. The partioilar shape in which that determirnstioi developed itself in words, was in pitting Jesus in confederation with 1 the ptince of devils. Perhaps we are not fir from the truth when assert that 1 the tnpardouable sin simply consists a liabolioal determination to reject jesul in the face of all the displays of merces and grace which are made by the general and particular operations of the loly Spirit. Stich a Uetermmationis often productive of a strong d'e: ^ueim whioh results in belieVing a false^ ^^>ihooa The next thing in reference to this feubject that merits attention is: Can this sin be committed at the present period of the world's history? Some *re of the opinion that this sin was peeoltar to the age when our incarnate Saviour was here upon feattbi The reason they advance in shpport of this opinion is that when oui* Saviour dwelt ipon the earth, God manifest in the flesh, thete was a greater display of his divinity to those who saw him and his works than there ever was before or ever has been since. It is true that those who lived contemporary with our Baviour, enjoyed privileges and exam pies of bis miraculous power which had been enjoyed aDd seen by their fathers only in promises., But it is also true that God gave the Patriarchs in the wilderness instructions how to aot in 1 tegaid to the individual who did "aught r ?7' 'presumptuously." We think we ai safe in concluding that had it been in .'possible, foj tbosetan^erthe Mosaic ecoi .pipy to be guilty of $.sm theinfqftity | which would not . be pardoned, no ii stlfUotioTis would have bepn given r< BpOcting the manner m which the pr sumptuous transgressor should be pui ished. It seems scarcely necessary < argue that persons tinder the Mosai ecdniProy wefe liable to be guilty irftli unpardonable sin* BuJ are we' bf th ^res.e'nt day liable to be guilty of thj heinous^ transgression ^We bonestl think we are. Itnot'true that thos who^ived the,time, our SaVionr dwel rfpnn the eai^h, enjoyed greater spirit? al blessings than we do. They enjoyei somethings that we do not enjoy, bn they were not greater. They saw Jesn wfth their bodify'"Syeifi and heard will theifears, but this was not to be coin pared to the dispensation of thespiri wbtch yte enjoy. They saw the sui rising; we see it verging to its., noon day splendor. They saw the CJbristiai dispensation establishing, we see it ea tablished. To denv the divinity o Christ is A rnotq heinous crime in the modern infidel than In the aDc.ient Pha risee. If this oin had been peculiar t< any particular period of the world, W< think the fact would have been at leas intimated in the scriptures. It should be remembered that every sit we commit is a step nearer the poini where God ceases to be a gracious God No person should conclude that he 01 she is not liable to so sin as to incense God that lie will U6t pardon. Person! edtaafe'd ffi tbeltBowledgeof the Christian religion and enjoying all the gracious privileges of tl\p gospel kingdom) cannot be too careful -lest they siu untc death. ?o clear are the evidences oi th6'divinity of Christ Jesus, that to determine to reject him must be provoking id the eyes of God.

It is a good thing that the* Massachusetts madmen havo at least to hunt up another subject of agitation. Tbf old theme, from its peculiar nature and its relation to sectiooal politics, gave them the power of inflicting great inju ry uptin the nation.

' ^ v??- '' y Tha Duty of Ag&spors. e In a very few weeks the oounfcjr As ft sessore throughout the State WiQ coin jj mence listing and assessing the rea t and personal property preparatory t< s the collection of taxes. Mr. Reubei a Totnli'nson, the Statp Auditor* W.re *' cently' issued a ciroular addressed t L > /% 4 the Assessors, and yery olealy sets fo/tb . the dutied of the Assessors as veil ai i the tax-payers. We subjoin the follow* ibg extracts for the information of oni * leaders: , "It cannot be doubted that, the As * lessors, as a body, neglected, their duty s fn the asSessment of Real Property foi 1868. Such ntegieltrt. should not oncui again. It is the Assessor's duty tc visit and examine each piece of Rea! Property within bis District; to^ascei tain accurately the number of acres oi land?properly classified-?and the nutnf bcr of buildings thereon. It is his duty to fix the value of the property, without uny -refernce to the value placed | upon it by its owner. In doing this the Assessor must dismiss from his 1 mind entirely the system of valuations. : If he belietcs a given piece of land to be worth ten orlwenty dollars per acre, be must place that value upon it, reI gar dices of the fact that it was formerly ( assessed, probably, at .tWo or three dollars per acre. It is also his duty to securo an equal assessment of tho Real Property of his District. He inuBt discared all personal or partisan considerations, in whatever guise they may ' present fch btqselves. No discourtesy on the part of the oWner.of the property should prejudice the 3udgmentj of the ^ Assessor ih the slightest degree. He should slso be 'eyeful to get the hatne cf the ."toner of 'the property Correctly, and also caYefuliy ^void Tall disputes ' with property owners respecting the value of their property. In cases where there is doubt a? to the description and (quantity of a piece of property, the Assessor rnaV, under Section til of the ' the case of bis refusal of beglect to furnish the information required) the Assessor may employ a co'mputent surveyor to perform the duty, and the expeuse of such survey will be added to the Value of the property on the "County Duplicate." Although, under the law, the Assessor is independent of the opinions of tax-payer, in fixing the value of the Real Property, still hearty co operation on tho part of the property owubrs will do much toward securing an equal and satiefootorv assessment of the property of the State. The chief complaint made of the first assessment under the present law, and in many instances justly made, was as to its inequality. If a owner in any assessment District in the State, has reason to believe that certain property in his neighborhood is being assessed unequally, as compared with his own or that of others, it is his right and his duty to call the attention of tho Assessor to it, and to insist upon a proper assessment of the property in question. If the property owners will thus assist the Assessors in their work, a fair and equal assessment may be secured, and the State Board of Equalization will not only be relieved from the performance of a disagreeble duty, but tho comolaint and dissatisfaction consequent upon its enforced action Will be avoided. -All property must be assessed in the i name of tbe person owning or controlling it on the 1st day of September, : 1870. Gold Notes.?There is now reason to believe that bank notes redeemable in gold will soon begin to form a fea; ture in the currency. 'Tne first gold i note bank organized tinder the recent 1 law was the Kidder National Bank of i Boston, which received on last Monday the certificate authorizing it to comt m'ence business. Another specie-paying i bank has' been authorized at Mobile, and the probability is that within a year 1 such banks will be organized in every i port of the United States which has j any considerable foreign trade. The j money transactions of importers will be 3 done chiefly through these banks, and f the issue of their notes redeemable in - specie Will have the effect of an increase t of cash gold in the market, and eventa unity have an influence to reduce the r premium on gold. If these note were e available for tbo payment of duties, ae - there is no reason why they should not f be, the influence they would exercise e in the direction of a lower price foi d gold Would be very important. Several ,s gold note banks are being organized ic the Pacific States, and in the States anc if Territories West of the .Missouri, river i- but ttero is no probability of susl d banks being started soon in any of thes< 1- interior States.?
