ATTE.MPTS AT EVANGELIZATION IN SPAIN AND IN PORTUGAL. From the Correspondence of the X. Y. Ohscrrrr. These two countries are now in a deplorable si;ua;ion. Some troops, seduced by intriguers, have proclaimed at Madrid and' at Lisbon, cons itutions, not accordant to the opinions, manners or wants of the Soudi of Europe. Civil war desolates the Spanish peninsula, and Don Carlos, opposing the excess of liberty bv an excess of despotism, has proclaimed, if we may believe the Journals, the re-es'ahlishniont of the Inquisition :?that bloody and infamous tribunal which was abolished by king Ferdinand VII. In ihis s Higgle of conflicting passons, amidst the shouts of executioners and the groans of vie ims, it is difficult for the Gospel to make i s voice heard. Can the ca Is of the God of peace awaken the conscience and convert the soul, amidst war, carnage, mourning, desolation and ruins ? However, th< re is a lit le good along wish the mass of evil, and some rays of an ap. proachini dawn begin to en!ighfcn the darkness which covers the Peninsula. It is a tact generally admitted. oven by the partisans ot' Rome, that the Spanish and Portuguese clergy have lost a great portion of their influence, especially with the midtile classes of the nation. The time is gone bv when the won! of a pries- can be enforced as the word of God ; and when ignorant and tyvnnical monks can rule the Peninsula with an iron rod. The eyes of the nation begin to be opened. The people have torn off the mask of th?so modern Pharisees, and have discovered their shameful hypocrisv; tlvy have uncovered these wiiited sepulchres, and have found within a mass of dead men's bones and ali uncleani) ss. Never, i: may be safely said, will !\i{x-ry recover the ground it has lost; never w:ii Rome exert there the absolute dominion she once possessed. Possibly I Jon Carlos may enter Madrid, and may gradually subjugn'e all Spain ; but even should tins supposition be realized, the Spanish clergy will never recover its ancient power ; for it would be surrounded by modern opinions and modern manners. What is, is. Nothing on eardi can make Spain and Portugal go back to the stupid prejudices of the sixteenth century. Thus Rome has irrevocably lost Iter two strongest fortresses? - : K:~l ?Ar.A k.M lilt* reireais in yyiuum s,ic jiiuicimcu iu u.w defiance to oil the forces of the human mind. (unhappily, t!>e inhabitants of the Peninsula, in l?*aving one extreme, have run in'o another; if they are no longer superstitious, they have become infidel, and while refusing to believe every thing, imagine they ought not to believe any thing. This re. suit was almost inevitable; for having be* n i list rue ed in a merely human religion, the religion of the priests, when they rejected this false religion, they knew of no other, and embraced skepticism. The number of infidels is immense in the Peninsula, and the responsibility of this sad s'ate of things rests upon the Romish clergy, who have shut the door of the kingdom of Heaven against a nation that had foolishly confided to them i s religious des'inies. The friends of lite Gospel, in France, feel that they have important dtries to perform in these circumstances, and that God calls them to enter in o this field of tares. They have had the New Testament printed in the Swinish language, as well as many tracts. The distributors of these religious tracts, it is true, meet with many difficulties, and the inhabitants are not favorably situated for receiving the Gospel of Peace. \ et the Lord condescends to encourage Chris.ians in their arduous work, and wc can already remark some fruit of their labors in this new field. An English traveler who has resided lor some time at Barcelona, writes in the following words from that city to the Bible Socie'v of Paris : " I find things here in a state that makes me think I run no risk in providing myself with copies of the word of God, and offering them 'o those who will purchase or take them. The same day tint I received your hater, I sold three dozen copies of the Bi-hie for JEO 10s. sterling, and I distributed six gra ui ouslv. In the ten days following, 1 found purchasers for 1*20 copies, and gave away 40. I cannot tell you, however, the difficulties which proven?, in Spain, tiie iutroduc ion of a single copy of the Holy Scriptures; hut t! c goodness of Go 1 is greater than the opposition of men. Indeed, I was about to send back io Marseilles 820 copies of the Bible which I had on lioanl a V 'ss^h owing to the impossibility of entering them, when 1 succeeded, in a lawful way. but secretly, in in1 reducing them at a "rti-i'l uvno'it'i 1 Imvn r\n hrmd civ liun. dred copies, b it as I dtsposo of a number every day, I hope that they will soon all be in the hands of the inhabitants of this city, where there is great spiriiual darkness, how. ever distinguished the inhabitants are for intelligence and na'ural talents." C* Trie journals of Spain begin to notice the labors of Bble Societies. A journal pub. J is! ied at Madrid, called L'Espa^nol, has lateiy published a long article on this sub. ieet, which has been copied into a paper in Barcelona. The writer explains the origin, aim, and efforts of the Bible Societies, and closes thus: " Why should Sp ain, the discoverer and explorer of the New World, the discoverer of inocuiaiton for the ravages of a dreadful disease, a nation which has always been distinguished for her zeal in the cause of httmani y, continue to bo deprived of Bible Societies / \\ by should a nation eminent)y catholic continue to be isolated from the rest of Europe, and take no part in the mag. nilicent enterprises of the present day ?? We have avowed on several occasions that liberty will never be firmly established in .our country, so long as its advocates regard Christian faith us incompatible with it, and do not unite religious u idi political influence. We will now say that tire most powerful cause of the culpable enmity between the disciples of Christ and the advocates of liberal opinions, is that tiie youth receive, in our primary schools, too little ins-ruction in tfl(. ;Ii"> (',1 ( II"/ " Societies were established and multiplied, the Gospel would be better understood, and ihat political system would be abandoned which regards the destruction of the Christian faith as an advance in the progress of society. All would then be surprised to see how nearly parties are agreed, and from 'his harmony the constant progress of improvement might be expected." A Spanish gentleman, communicating the journal from which the above article is taken, to the Evangelical Society, adds as follows: '* The publication of this article in the Spanish journals, is a remarkable fact.? If the bitter contest which devours unhappy Spain shall terminate, I have no doubt that the rapid propagation of the I lolv Scriptures will be the consequence, and the blessed influence of evangelical tru'h will take the place of that fanatical delusion which, un; dcr the name of religion, has caused the . 1--1 i.i~ " H30S[ uepiurauiu I From the Christian's, Scholar's, and Farmer's Magazine. OBSERVATIONS ON RELIC lOt'S DISPUTATION. Disputes in religion, says one.are sonic' times ncccsnrv, but always dangerous; bo1 cause tliey draw the best spiri s into the head from the hear, and leave it cither em p. ' tv of all, or too full of fleshly zeal and pas. ' sion, if extraordinary care be not taken to fill it anew with pious ajj'cc lions towards God ' and man. "Controversies in religion are generally u J5 ?r 1 carried on with more heat than those of any other subject; because, besides reason, art, ! j credit, and persuasion of truth, which warm I inch in o her differences, they seem in these to be inflamed with zeal for God: but we should pray thaf we may not only s rive for God: but according :o the mind of God.? A man shews most knowledge in the mat. ler ol tru.h; but MC discovers inos: gniue m the manner of handling it, reverently, modes. ly, and holily. "lie, who s rives fur error, strives for Safari against God. lie. who strives lor vietori), strives for himself against other men. lie, who strives for truih, strives for the Lord against the father of lies. lie, who , strives modestly for truth, displays that love, which is the end of the commandment, the design of the revelation of truth." John Robinson's Observations Divine end Morj ?/, eiutp. viii. 162."). Truth and love should never he separated in a Christian minister's argumentation.? j If we pretend to cant, and wheedle people | into a community, and oiler no evidence to | their judgments,we err,on the one hand; and j if we think to convert them by mere pro! position devoid of affection and tenderness, j and delivered haughtily and boisterously, j we err on the other. A sensible writer rei proves each of these methods. " Those i clergymen, says he, who ajfeef innately rej quire us to believe against our own reason, resemble the woman who required her husband to believe her against his own eyes. What! said lie, will you lelieve your own eye-sight rather than your own dear wife?-? VV.-? hrticf nrlilc Jin nf n wife and learned clergy: but it* knowledge be* the whole, we act like the debauchee, who prayed God to pardon his lasciviousness, and to impute on- j ly usury to him,to which sin he was not ad- j dieted. Ministers have many faults worse . than ignorance. Proud knowledge is more pernicious than modest absurdity. Light & love, demonstration and affection, how excellent are these in conjunction!" Seidell's Tahle Talk. Clergy. I The writer of the article from which wc extract the following remarks did not intend,nor do we intend by copying them into our columns, to object to the things done or designed to be i I j done by the societies referred to; far from it; the objection is to the mode of undertaking i them,?to secularizing the appropriate work ! of the Church of Christ : which tends to cor- ' rupt the Church, and is, in fact, an evidence j of a previous state of corruption or unfaithful-; ness, to some extent, at least. The church has not now, "en nomi-1 no," her monasteries, her monks, her nuns and convents, her hermhs, pilgrims arid mendicants, &e., to do iier appropriate j work. Cut something is substituted which is substantially the same, under the name ol Societies, male and female, whereby! all the Lord's work must be done, and | j which are worse in some respects than j j the I'omish inventions, because these were j I in some sense under the control and sub- ! j jeet to the Church, (such as it was,) but j ; our Societies are beyond the pale and withi out the shadow of responsibility to the j I Lord's house, and order, and government; | j and in place of pilgrims and mendicants I j there are now men called "agents," who i ; do substantially the same thing, sent by j these irresponsible societies through the length and breadth of our land to raise funds; ! ; for the Societies must be maintained and I the agents provided for. Let me not be misunderstood. I do not ! object to what many of these societies arc j * * - - -' " r i r (lotng, out io 1'iu manner 01 uoini; u. i C' ~ i maintain that most of what they undertake I to do belongs to the Church as such, and j j that we can never expect the thing to be j done so 7eeli or efficiently, or look with such I ! faiiii for the Divine blessing, as when we ; are doing the Lord's work in the Lord's j ! way. Besides, these self-constituted socio- , | j ties are composed of all men, without, as j well as within. (To separate! would; shock the piety, ofiend the generous liber- ! | alky, and distress the inherent sensibilities j j of 4< energising" Novelism.) 1 say they' are composed of all men who think any ob-! ] iect a "good thing," and will give their! j money; they need not profess Christ or bo i ! members of his church, and so there is not j that restraint on excess and abuse which j the Church should afford, that can claim j the promise and blessing of her head, | moves in prayer, walks by faith, and looks to spiritual and eternal results, and not to selfish, civil,4< Republican" or sinister purposes. Tiicr- is no en 1 to these Societies, so ' [ that yoti can scarcely propose a work that I . .1 / \.. . I . . T^ .rjy ' in the hands of the " Benedictines," "the Cistcrtians," "tho Dominicans," "the Incorruptiblcs," "the Fan'astics," "the monks ofCiuni" or the " Jesuits." In other words, some society* has taken the thing in hand, and the church is left a widow and may take up the lamentation of old," How doth site sit solitary that was lull of people, how has she become as a widow ? She that teas great among the nations and princess among the provinces, how has she become tributary ? Iler tears are on her cheeks, herfriends have dwelt treacherously with her; they have become her enemies. The ways of /ion do mourn because none come to her solemn feasts : all her gates are desolate, her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and site is in bitterness. Ilernf/rrr series are the chief, her enemies prosper. For the Lord lia'h afflicted her for the multitude of her transgressions. And from the daughter of Zion all her beauty is departed, her princes are like liar s that find no pasture. Jerusalem hath grievously sinned, therefore she is removed ; all that honored her despise her. Oh Lord behold | my affliction,for the enemy hath magnified himself against me." Lam. 1 oil. Sir are I not these things so ! and must there not be j a beginning,that the church may arise from her sleep, her dejection, apostaey and death. ; anJ repent and believe what the Lord hath j said, and do it, and keep his commandj men's ? j Let us glance at some of the cllects of the present departure from the Lord's order in his house. The very existence of independent and irresponsible Societies to do the work of the Church, is a reproach and burning shame ! to her ; and they scorn to have grown up j cut of a Popish spirit of self.righteousness : and inherent sanctity,blended with ihc spirit ; of mechanical improvement and invention ioC" the age." Thus by the principle of a ! division of labor, a man is kept his lifetime | at a particular spindle or wheel. In the j matter of making a pin, there may be perI haps six distinct trades necessary, and as many employed, one to make the wire, another to cut it a proper length and prepare it for head and point, another sharpens the point, another polishes, another pu s on the head, &c., and alogethcr in the matter of pin making they make a good article, save I time, and do well in this way. Still there | is no one man who is a pin maker, nor is it necessary there should he in this business. But when it is proposed to make a saint or a church, it is quite another affair. S ill the Societies go upon the " pin principle;" one "labors" in this field, another in that mine. There is a vast subdivision, and all the departments of christian labor and work arc 4i\ Ann \ c in | iljJjJI U|JI llllVU IU JUIIIt \JUK.

They are purely vegetable and well calculated for the removal of all Billions complaints. They act specially upon the Liver, when in a ^ torpid condition, carrying off a large quantity of t bile, through the influence of the cxcerncnt function, which, if suffered to remain in tho system, would produce either Jaundice, Liver Complaint, 1 ^ Billious Fever, Fever and Ague, or some other ^ grievous bodily allliction.

It is from neglect of keeping up a regular perisialtic action of the stomach and bowels, thus suffering y to be absorbed and mingled with the blood, unas- simiiated fluids, that most diseases are product Dr. P. feels confident that no person who gives these Pills a fair trial, will ever after feel willing n to be without tlicin.

FifflUE object ofthis Company is to elevate thn -EL general standard of literature in the United States, by introducing into common use, an improved uniform series of elementary books, and stimulating n it ive talent, by securing to authors tho publisher's profit on other than school books.The plan is, the organization of a company, with sufficient capital to publish all books writterf by native authors, which may be approved by a committee of publication, at the risa of tho coo? pany, who shall pay over to the author a 11 profit m the sales, after deducting tho printer's char-' res and incidental expenses. It is proposed to manufacture the paper used in printing, and thus to save the expense of drying it for market, putting it into bundles, traflft :>ortation to market, commission, interest ana guaranties, equal at least to twenty per cent. A greater saving can be mado by the cmploynent ofboys in composition, printing and bind, ing. This, with the profits on periodicals, reprints, and elementary hooks, will secure to the stockholders a good dividend. By requiring each clerk, foreman, papermakerjourneyman, proof-reader, and all others connected with the Company, to hold a certain amount afstock proportioned to their salary, which, when t has not been paid in advance, will be liquidated by a sinking fund out of their earnings, and held subject to bo assigned to the successor of each, upon a condition that such successor shall be allowed to pay for it by a deduction from his earnings, each person attached to the company becomes a stockholder, and, to the extent of his stock, interested in the success of the institution. This feature will be rigidly enforced, and incase any one in tlio employment of the Company shall for any cause, be dismissed or leave its service, his stock will be assigned to his successor. Agencies will be established in the large cities, where the Company's books can always be had at the wholesale prices. Booksellers, and country merchants who sell books, now pay a profit to tlie paper maker, another to the printer, and a third to the publishers. Those who subscribe stock in this Company will receive books at their :oat, rating the printing at the New York prices, :o the amount of the stock so subscribed ; it beng understood that the dividend on their stock, o the amount of six per cent, per annum only, t ?? l a 1 iL.i -11 J!..:J I .nan DC cnargcu as interest uuu lu.ii. mi uiviuuuu tbovosix per cent, shall be paid to such stockhol. lers. The Compnuy tiius guarantee to booksel. ors a dividend of G per cent, per annum on tho nnount of their stock, and the paper maker's prof, t, the printer's profit, and the publisher's profit, >ver and beyond theh own profit as booksellers Tho advantage to the Company is, that all tho loekholders will be interested in getting work or tiie Company's office, and that each stockloldcr will always give a preference to the Comvmy's paper and thcComp ny's books over those >f other makrt aud publishers.

And when ive take into consideration the fact was^hat there ire now hold against the prejudices of the world ?that a society with more than fivo hundred luxiljury associations spread over many of the Slates of this Union, with immense sums for tho gratuitous distribution of tracts and pamphlets, lave declared universal emancipation, and renembor the influence which early impression* lave on the matured mind, all must see the imC jortance of guarding against the admission into' >nr elementary books of any matter which may nislead the feelings or judgment. Inasmuch as the sale of school books is much [ renter, and the value and profit depends much norc on the publisher, the Company will divido he profit with the author or compiler on all elementary books. This arrangement will place all uthors and compilers on the same footing; and lasmuch as the company will have no interest i tho copy right beyond a contract for the ex. lusive right to publish until a better or improved ook is produced by some other author, the com'? ? 1 ...?* ? * < *?% olTavinff * III1V will OO mvt il^s aiiu 111 lavir uutiiug premium for better and improved books. As it o\v is, every author encounters the competition f publishers who have t!ie copy-rights of rival ooks. This Company will be an impartial umire, ready to place each now competitor on the imc footing as the most favored party. Its obct being to publish the best book, and the profit jing the same on either, the preference will slays he, and Directors will be held in Columbia, outh Carolina, on the 30th of November. In ic mean time subscriptions will be received, and le certificates of stock issued when the Compay is organized. The objects to be accomplished y this Company are such that it is hoped there ill be no want of funds; and we especially rely n the readers of the Telegraph to forward thoir amcs. DUFFGREEN.
