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?

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

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

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

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. In nj' cases of tor{>or

ny persons who were subject to violent attacks ^
of sick head ache, have been much benefitted, and
several perfectly cured in a few weeks by tneir
use. Tliey are highly recommended as a preven- |)(
tivo and cure of Billious complaints. Persons
who are subject to that distressing complaint, ^
sea sickness, by taking a portion or two of them j'
a few days previous to embarking on board the ^
vessel, will l>e almost certain to escape it. Fe- w
males can use them at any period, without in- ^
ctirring any risk. Persons going to sea, or to a ^
southern climate, should bv all means take some
of these Pills with them.?Their virtues will remain
unimpaired for years in any climate. No ^
family should be without these Pills ; a portion of ^
them, taken occasionally would bo the means of
preventing much suffering from sickness. 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. The testimony of thousands
speaking in the highest trrms of their efficacy,
might be added, but the very high reputa- J
n, p i,no nfnmrer] ns iho inventor of the r
"Patesrt Vegetable Medicinir Stomochicoe et He. p
paticce," for the euro of Dyspepsia and Liver j,
complaints, is thought a sufficient guarantee to tj
those wishing to make a trial of their virtues.
They contain not a particle of Mercury, or any
ingredient that does not act in harinonv with j
health and oppose disease. 0
Dr. P. wishes it distinctly understood, that t,
these Pills possess beneficial qualities indepen- v"
dent of their purgative effects ; they arc both ton- I c
ic and deobstruent, r.elingupon the secreting and tj
exhalcnt functions ; thus strengthening the patient,
while they remove obstructions ?Mcdi- ^
cines which possess no other, excepting cathar- g
tic qualities, debilitate the paticut, and their repcatcd
use lays the foundation of a long cata- j,
loguc of Chronic Diseases. j,
Dr. P. having been educated under the most
eminent American and European Medical pro- n
feasors, and practised his profession many years y
in the South, where diseases of the most obstinate j4
character prevail, considers himself well qualiticd ^
to judge ou the nature of dieeascs incident to 0
warm climates. w

OF THE
AMERICAN LITERARY COMPANY.
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,

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. Such an at'angcmeiil
?.in tho booksellers will cnablo the
Company. I>y means of a circular addressed to
heir correspondents, enclosing their report of the
:ommitt"e of publication, to be rod, and thus
irotcct them against all loss by rsrertaining in
id van ce if a proposed work can b <old ; for if it
Mimot be sold, the Company will not print it.
rhus the interests of authors, oablisbers and
jooksellers will he reconciled, by ::eating a Comnunity
in which tho rights of c??:h will be se.
:ured, the public benefitted by t c introduction
)f a uniform series of improved school books, and
lie South protected against the introduction ot
my matter tending in the most remote degree to
issail our institutions and prosperity. 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'?

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.
